I think the problem has been fixed, when I tried it from htc devs a while ago, unlock code. The bin file came to my email and I was able to install android 12
I also have this problem, have you found any fix?
- DecodedFinn
I couldn't find a solution. It says they cut off htc support, they told me to buy a new device
Same problem trying to unlock my HTC evo 4G NOT LTE! I just am not getting the email even when I check my spam folder. Is it possible we could make our own unlock_code.bin? I am DESPERATE I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR HOURS HOW I CAN GET AROUND THIS!!!!!!!!
Same problem for me, hope there's a fix

It is not a virus.
Kaspersky, sometimes AVG detect it as a trojon or virus because the program is packed to prevent it from being cracked.

Hey could you explain to me how to do this? What it is? ect. i am a bit of a noob. lol
As i had the same issues as the guy above.
orange codes
with orange phones you may have to enter twice.
so once you have entered and it will ask you again .
enter the code again and it will work
Once i enter the code it says "Network Unlock Successful" but when i get to the main screen i have no signal, and if i reboot the phone it asks for the unlock code again, help would be appreciated.

Yeah same here,
Mine is on Orange UK...
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
Same here. Tried everything. Rooted it, flashed with custom firmware MoDaCo. Bought code from HTCCode.com (ripoff). And now am waiting for the isim 2008 from DealExtreme ...
Don't be fooled by HTCCode, like I was. They profess to be able to unlock any phone to any operator. They hadn't bargained for the HTC Tattoo on Orange and probably some other flavours.....
My understanding, and feel free to correct if I'm wrong, is that there's a radio ROM that has been tied down by Orange and at last check they haven't been able to flash it (i.e. get rid and replace by a less tied down one). Within that ROM there's a CID check which doesn't want to respond to any code you throw at it.
My advice is pick up a vanilla Tattoo (play.com do them now for £180), or you could try an iSmartSim (it didn't work for me, but there have been reports of some success)

AGREED!
Here is MY experience with HTCCODE (also known as member "ferraripassion"), and his pathetic attempts to unlock an HD2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657751
I am amazed the admins allow him to continue to prey on members here!
HTCCODE finally DID come across for me. It took some "work"... He claims he sent the code last night.. not quite the "2 minutes" that were brandished, but I did receive it, nonetheless, So I wasn't "ripped off."
Just setting the record clear (for ANYONE who actually cares).
Hi i'm buy code from htcsimunlock . com and key doesn't work, after 24h they didn't refund money. Anyone who has experience with them?
Don't get in trouble!
Somtimes it is easier spending 15 Eruros and 30 minutes than trying magic.
Just one advice. The process erase the data, so remember to do a NAND BackUp before.
I did it before changing from Vodafone to Simyo.
Now i have got a free Tattoo and also changed the ROM.
Just pm me if you need a code

HI all, first of all thanks to everyone because the posts on this website have been helpful to a new HTC Desire owner!
Unfortunately I have come across a problem that most people experience when replacing the ROM on their Orange Desires.
I created a gold card fine.
I downloaded and installed this file: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe which I felt was almost too easy as my Desire rebooted and worked straight away with a non Orange-branded ROM which I loved.
Then a prompt to download an over-the-air upgrade came up which I accepted.
After the install and reboot my phone was locked which I expected.
I went to HTCSimUnlock as I wanted the phone unlocked anyway and entered my IMEI etc and they refunded and replied to say code not found.
I sent the same code to an eBay company - exactly the same thing, I sent it to another eBay company - code not found.
I thought maybe I'd stupidly typed the IMEI wrong but I triple checked it and it was 100% correct.
I am now a bit worried about what to do to fix this and would be extremely greatful if someone could give me a hand sorting it out.
Thanks in advance,
RandomOtter
Have you spoke to orange and asked them to unlock the phone (i think it costs £20)? They should be able to unlock it, if they cant i suggest you complain to them as any other network will say speak to your phone provider.
Hi there, thanks for your suggestion. I just called Orange who said it will take 15 days for it to come through as they need to send the request to the phone manufacturer! I can't really wait 15 days as my other contract is set to cancel in just under a week so I will not be able to make or receive calls on either number.
Are there any other suggestions?
Is there any reason those unlock companies would not have been able to find my code?
You need to root it and downgrade your radio...
Edit: I'll explain in a bit more detail. Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11 is the baseband (radio) you will see in the about phone menu on your phone. On Orange handsets if you upgrade away from this baseband, it sim locks the phone.
So instead of paying for an unlock code, all you need to do is follow the guide to root the handset then download and install the radio listed in the development section.

Thanks for the reply.
In the root guide it says "for bootloader version..." how do I find out my bootloader version?
Aplogies, I started up with the back button pressed and found out it is version 0.80.
How can I make a gold card if the device isn't actually booting up fully? I just get:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

Did they ask you for a fee to provide the unlock code??
Hi I would like to get a little help to unlock my
phone.
I tried to get an unlock code but it did not work.
I have now a custom rom and my phone is rooted.
I read that for UK people the rom change helped to
get the code accepted.
Should I try more roms or radio update?
Should I put somehow an unbranded ROM?
I think trying to buy more codes are useless
but maybe some compony has the right one...
My IMEI starts with 3578410
I sow on some unlock pages that for these
phone I have to pay more due to being in the newest database.
(htcgate)
I got from htccode the info that in this kind
of situations the provider lock back the phone.
They promise a cable solution from december...
I guess they can do it because there is something
in their rom, that's why I wanted to replace it...
I had no succes so far.
Thanks

Hi,
I’ve got a Hungarian Telenor HTC Desire phone. My problem is like yours. I bought an unlock code but does not work. If you have a good, replace with you.

I have a Desire in Denmark locked to 3. If you find out something, let me know please in a personal message! Thanx
As far as I know, when trying to sim-unlock a device with a network provided sim-unlock code it shoudn't matter that I have a custom rom (Oxygen RC4). However, this is what happens:
I insert my non-orange sim card and boot up, when android boots up it firstly asks for my pin, I enter it, then it asks for a sim-unlock code and I enter that as well and then get a 'Successful' message. However, in the status bar I get a sim card icon with an exclamation mark inside it and have no signal. Also when I reboot the phone it once again asks for a sim-unlock code.
I've already contacted orange and they've said they'll contact me (which they havent) and i'm sure the conversation will end when I tell them that i've rooted the phone and have a custom rom installed, as my warranty is probably void now. Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm hoping to avoid installing an official ruu to get around this as this will mean ill have to s-off and change partition tables again and I can't be arsed!
from what i know the lock signature in phone is written in eeprom. i don't know if this phones have an eeprom. so i am thinking that you will need an RUU cause when you play with permanent memory by s-offing and changing partitions it can't be permanently recorded.
again this can be totally BS cause i only know this from proprietary phones.

Thats what im afraid of too. I'm still waiting for a call from orange so we'll see what happens filaraki
Ok aderfe, just let us know how it rolled.
Sent from my LeeDroided Desire HD
I'll be interested to see what happens as im in the exact same situation. Orange never got back to me either. I got the unlock code as I'd read it was required for flashing a new radio however its never been a prob. It would be nice to unlock the phone though especially after I paid £20 for the code!

To tell you the truth im not expecting much from the orange team. From past experience technical call-backs of this nature usually involve a technically-incompetent employee following tree-diagrams to answer your query and in most cases not being able to. If I dont get a solution from them ill try flashing an original RUU and unlocking and let you guys know what happens
Orange never phoned me so I phoned them. Their technical team (which apparently does not deal with customers directly) left a note on my account asking me to provide my orange rom version so I told them that I have flashed a custom rom and request a link to an official orange ruu, will be interesting to see what they have to say! will keep you posted on what happens
we unlocked this phone a few months ago and everything was working great.
last week sometime my son stopped receiving calls and txts and had a simcard icon showing that his sim card is locked. we did some troubleshooting with virgin and they determined he needed a new sim. so we restored this phone back to default and now there is still the sim card icon at the top of the screen. when we rebooted the phone it asks for a network unlock code. we were told by virgin to contact rogers to get this code. they were unable to help. i tried entering the unlock code that you provided us previously and we get an error unsuccessful unlock.
any ideas would be great.
so after almost two weeks of working with virgin and cellunlocker.net we still have not been able to get this phone working. im being told that sometimes when you update the firmware like we did the phone becomes re locked to the original carrier. i was sent a file to reload the stock firmware but the application just crashes when i run it. Does anyone know what i can do to get this phone up and running?? please help. thank you

Probably not a rom issue.
Probably will need to know what android version. ICS Official apparently has an issue with relocking from what I have read.
