My HTC is locked to orange, i unbranded it successfully but now it doesn't recognizes the SIM operator (orange,o2,o3 etc). but it doesn't come with any coverage(lines).
Does anyone else have the same problem and do you have any ideas for fix ?
Hi. Try unbrand it again. I remember after unbranding phone didnt worked at all. Bricked. Did unbranding again and phone worked well.

Hi All
I am going to flash my desire to the stock HTC rom but before I do will the phone be simlocked back to Vodafone or will it stay unlocked. I am using an orange sim at the moment
Appreciate any response
Some say it gets locked some say it's fine. Luck of the draw tbh. This is why I always get unbranded phones

I'll try.
I have a Virgin UK Desire that came with a 405 Rom. I updated it to a later WWE Rom. It worked fine but kept the Virgin boot screen.
I then tried to install Froyo from a signed zip. This almost bricked it but I managed to recover it by doing the same thing again but with a goldcard in that I'd made on another HTC phone.
So be careful!
I have a Virgin branded (just a spinning logo on startup) desire, and I used the instructions on this site. mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/htc-desire-updating-to-froyo-official-ota-for-network-branded-handsets/comment-page-1/#comment-5870 (just add the three w's)
i hope it helps as it worked for me, and i'm now on 2.2 on an unbranded Desire..
i couldnt wait and installed this:

have no problem.
so far you have a generic rom and virgin media logo you need a goldcard to flash to the new rom froyo 2.2 from sd card.
i was in the same situation but after making a goldcard and flashing through sdcard it update successfully and i don't see virgin media logo anymore.
Hi, I have a sim-unlocked Orange Desire (I don't use it on Orange) with a branded 2.1 firmware, and I'd like to unbrand it with 2.2 stock firmware. Will that remove the sim-unlock that I have now?
Tnx in advance.
It shouldn't. I got an orange branded Desire from ebay on saturday morning, which was also locked to orange. I sim-unlocked it and rooted, and then flashed LeeDroid. My phone is still sim-unlocked.
Obviously I can't tell you what happens when flashing official firmware via RUU, because I haven't done that, but when flashing a custom ROM the sim-unlock remains the same. Hope this helps
If it locks it you can re use the original unlock code to unlock the phone again. If you don't have it then ask the seller you bought the phone from as they may still have it on record.

i unlocked orange branded locked desire this eve without any probs thanks god
I just can confirm this: I've got an orange.fr branded desire over ebay and it was unlocked. Flashing froyo on it and rooting it before went well. No problems at all.
Tnx guys, I'll try it and see how it goes.
Hi there,
I'm just after a method for unlocking my HTC Desire GSM without flashing back to a stock ROM.
I'm currently on Vodafone UK and I'd like to use an Orange sim.
My phone is rooted, s-off and running Cyanogen 7.1
I've tried using HTC_Desire_unlock_v0.9.5, which downloaded from somewhere on this site.
But the phone remains emergency calls only with the Orange sim (& a US T-moble sim)
I've got USB debugging on, and I've run the unlock programme from my PC, everything seems to work - the phone reboots in HBOOT and I get the success message in the PC window. I've tried with my Vodafone sim and the Orange one.
I have noticed an error message with both sims on the unlock programme window - Vodafone = returned error 95 and Orange = returned error 31
Thanks for your help
Have you tried mentioning this in the sim unlock utility thread? It's the only utility there is

restart in flymode
offen this doesnt work reflash. ( do nandbackup) first
Thanks, after much reading of the unlocking thread and installing ADB drivers, restarting lots of times. I'm still not too sure if I've unlocked my phone, as I've realised the Orange sim I was trying has expired - doh.
I've ordered a new one so when that arrives I should be able to determine if I've unlocked it.
Hello to everybody hope i will find what i look for.

Now probably i have to reflash the stock firmware from the mobile operator but of course i dont have one. I badly need some info maybe someone know where to find the latest ruu from tim italy or maybe just the nbh files.
And just to know both rioudiag was flashed ok but phone didn't boot to the windows just stuck athe htc logo for a while and goes black. another time after flashing return to menu with all those barcodes (imei sn and part nb) tried to do a hard reset but without any results.
