Hi Guys
Apologies - am new to Android and Wildfire... (but veteran Windows Mob). Has anyone created a way of unlocking Wildfire's to run on any network yet?

Indeed - Gah! t-mobile seem to ruin any decent rom with their tat that is supposed to be helpful but really just bloats the rom and boot time.
I hear there are a few subscription services you can use to unlock but will need to wait a few weeks til the codes are posted (my phone is almost brand new).
Does anyone have a software unlock yet for any other droid phone? (not sure if things work the same a Windeaux phones with hard SPLs etc... ?
Does it start? Or blocks t-mobile the startup with the wrong simcard?
I have a wildfire from vodafone germany and use it with a o2- card.
The only issue I had was the network connection. Simply typed in the right apn an now it works fine.

is there any way to unlock it?
because it tried one of those unlock sites,but they couldn't. at least they refunded my money.
Wouldnt one of those gold cards work with the wildfire?
I tried a few places before I found someone that could unlock my WF. It was on 3 and, apparently, the codes have changed from May this year so I could not get a code from one of the cheaper (£15) places.
I ended up paying £23.50 from mobileunlocked.co.uk, but got the code within a couple of minutes
Doesn't rooting the phone and flashing a new rom like WildPuzzle solve the problem or the protecion is stored in another location?
It will proberly solve the problems.
i could make an radio unlock zip for ppl to flash then phone is rooted. will add one to wildpuzzlerom realy soon.
*EDIT*
Just updated WildPuzzleROM with an radio from WWE. maybe this will unlock some phones!

kurva onjad! i realy thought that would work.
Okey will try to think out something else.
Hi. I tried the whole process and I'm still locked on Vodafone (Romania) as 2ma is. If anybody can help on this one, will be more than thankful
What's the point of having a smartphone if you can not use it
I want to buy one from Telstra Australia as they are heaps cheaper but I need to be able to unlock it.
Would love software to unlock, I wish I could help in some way.
hi, i've a wildfire in SFR but i'm in Bouygues Télécom so i can unlock this with a website and code for 28€ and now i can use with every operator ^^
So i can take if you need the website
Unlocked Wildfire
Hy
I'm just one of many Wildfire owners bought from Vodafone Romania, who CANNOT unlock their phones nowhere because Vodafone changed the original factory codes with new ones.!
They charge us with 50 euro/phone just to push the unlocking code! Outrageous!
So if someone gifted with the knowledge can find a way-software or magic-- to unlock it, than you in advance!
best regards
Chris
Hi,
No news to unlock a Bouygues widfire ?
Thanks.
Take it to your carrier. They should be able to unlock it (or a phone unlock shop)

wildfire unlock - london (streatham)
as far as I know tilll now, there is no free software to unlock it.
contact your operator, they may be able to do it for free or a small free.
or you can unlock by code. it costs about £15-£20 on ebay it's the easiest way to get it done.
or you can bring it to local phone shop (like myself) where we can unlock it cheaper + can do the S-Off or debrand stuffs too
Where can I find/buy unlock codes?
I have my unlocked phone turned on AT&T does that restrict me from using roms, kernels, and root method from this forum?
Thanks for any direction. I had an root on my last to EVOs and I miss it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
unlocked what, sim, bootloader?
Im guessing when you say unlocked you mean the device is not tied to any carrier?
If your phone is not the AT&T branded version then all the methods for rooting and flashing roms and kernels will work for you as far as I am aware.
The AT&T version has been rooted now as well.
is anyone working on a software unlock for the att htc one x, so that the phone can be use on tmobile. tried many unlock site to get the code, none are available.
Hi, I have the Virgin Mobile 816. I am wondering if I could unlock the network so that I could use the sim from other operators, like AT&T or Verizon.
Thanks!
Not possible. This model only works on Virgin Mobile.

Never say never. I will not rest until it is possible. SPCS won't keep me down. I was a loyal customer for ten years and they screwed me over. I want the phone, but not them. Back in the day they said my Photon was on a version that couldn't be modified to GSM, but that didn't stop some of us from making it work.
I just wish I'd have picked a phone that had more development time with the true devs.

I checked with Virgin Customer care if they can unlock, they told me that they cannot give MSL code as it does not satify the conditions. But i was searching all the forum and able to get the MSL code from the MSL utility.apk, but I am not sure how to unlock the GSM with the MSL, I was able to enable ##3424# but dont know further process.
I am sure someone would be able to unlock it soon and share the process. Lets wait for some more time:fingers-crossed:

Most likely not. The dual SIM models have different partition sizes then the VM variant, and it will probably hard brick your device.
Scratch that, flashing any RUU not meant for YOUR phone has a 99% chance of hard bricking your phone. So I really don't want to see you with a busted phone...
Hi,
I have an international (EMEA, model 0P6B640) HTC One M8 Dual Sim which runs on Lollipop, and is unlocked (bought from a shop, no network/carrier). I just moved back to the USA, to find that the 4G-LTE does not work as this phone does not have bands 2, 4, or 17 unlocked. I wish to unlock them so that I can get a T Mobile or ATT sim card.
I know from reading these boards (thanks guys!) that this should be possible as it is a software issue, and that there is a list of things I need to do like root, S-off, super cim, and then flash the appropriate rom. I can follow clear, explicit instructions just fine, but am not very phone-savvy, and have no idea where to find the files I need or exactly how to do these things.
If anyone could help me out with what I need to do and the order to do it in, I would really appreciate it.
Hello guys, my father bought used M9, was rooted and ****s, he gave him to some local "expert" to make it back to stock, but the idiot ****ed it up. He flashed something and the SIM CARD and the WIFI wasn't working, also had no IMEI. I used adb and checked the device IMEI, checked it online and found out it was SPRINT phone. Managed to flash some rooted Sprint RUUs, got the latest OTA updates but the problem is the SIM Card is not working - SIMLOCK enabled for european SIM Carrier, also there is something called Hands Free activation ?! So my question is how to make the device working again with EU Carrier (bulgarian sim cards). I managed to change the CID to SUPERCID, have boot loader unlocked, latest version of sprint installed. I need your ideas and probably a lot of your help to do this, thanks in advance (my father prefers some stock eu version, but he will use it with any ROM with working sim card)
CDMA (Sprint) devices and GSM firmware (European unbranded one) or vice versa are not compatible with each other due to the differences in the partition layout. Therefore, cross-flashing can lead to unrecoverable damages. Fortunately the M9 is still able to boot after a cross-flash so that it can be undone. Other devices would become a paperweight during the flash.
There should be a sim unlock guide in the Sprint M9 forum (which is linked in the ReadMe thread). However, you should check whether you really own a Sprint M9, beforehand. Those IMEI checks aren't very reliable. Use the engraving on the back side of the phone for finding out which version you own (c.f. the FAQ of the ReadMe thread). If it isn't a Sprint one then you should use the conversion guide in the ReadMe thread and flash a RUU that belongs to the phone's real MID.

hey, thanks for the answer, just checked the back of the phone it says Model:0PJA200 i guess it really is a SPRINT one. The problem is when we got the phone it was rooted with some custom rom and the SIM was working, after the flash i need to unlock the SIM again or its just the RUU ?

You probably need to unlock it again. But there's a guide in the sprint M9 forum with all needed information.

checked the guide... its not working for me, i am using MAC also can't get the MSL code from the first steps, the phone is unlocked and i managed to install Bad boyz ROM already, but still need activation and SIM UNLOCK, any ideas?
The only other method that comes to my mind is contacting sprint and asking for an official unlock code. However, you'll need the stock rom for being able to use that code.
