How can I remove a sim lock from my SPV v1640? It's HTC Universal based and it requires code when I install sim cards. I suppose that it can only work with SVF sim cards. Can the device be unlocked by SVF for money? I know that T-mobile offers such service for their customers. How can contact SFV?
The only way for you to find out if your operator unlocks it is to call them.
As for that, there is no way other than IMEI check (which costs £50)
A forum search would have revealed this.............
or you can use http://www.discount-unlock.com/ for about 30 EUR.

is there a way to unlock the t-mobile wing aka HTC Herald or P4350. i wanna make it work on boostmobile service. thanx
call t-mobile and ask them for the unlock code,tell them your going overseas.
it wont work on boost mobile.
But you could still call them and ask for the unlock code, correct?
T-Mobile
T-Mobile has an amazing unlock policy...
If you have a contract with them, just call 611 on your phone and request the unlock code...
Basically, if you're past your 30 day return window, and on a contract, they know they'll get their money back if you change carriers/early terminate...
But then again, with how helpful T-Mobile is, who would want to go to another carrier? ;-)
I'm actually sitting outside my store right now waiting for the FedEx guy to drop off my Wing so I can get on T-Mobile... (I just started working for T-Mobile 2 months ago, and I gotta say, their customer support is amazing by comparison)
+1 on asking T-Mobile. I have had excellent customer service from them, from them replacing a SIM card (the phone was lost, so I had the old SIM card disabled, and unlocked an inexpensive TracFone to work with the new one.)
If T-Mobile won't give the code, I'd hit up the usual denezins on the Internet for unlock stuff. www.imei-check.co.uk comes recommended, and can CID/SIM unlock the Wing for you for about $40.
I have some questions:
1. If I will change ROM to another version. Will it remove operator locking?
2. Or if I will bay code at byIMEI-unlocking service so how often I will need enter this code? Once? Or every rebooting, hard reseting, removing battery?
3. Tell me please and another ways to unlock my phone if I am located not in USA.
Thanks
1. changing the rom will not sim unlock your phone
2. if you go online and buy an unlock code you only have to enter it once, but you will have to enter a sim from another service provider
Hi I'm new user of T-Mobile Wing. I found a thread on this forum that most of T-mobile wing don't have simlock. I get my sim card from era (polish carrier) and put inside wing. Then turned on and everything is working. It has found a service. But I still have some doubts. One is that the service name is T-mobile ( which is normal in my nokia using era because of roaming policy of my carrier) but I'm not sure if I leave USA the phone will work or not. I'm not sure how sim lock work here in USA. Should the phone report problem with other sim card when I turn it on? Or maybe it will stop working when I will come back to Poland.
From the other side when I put T-mobile sim card into my old nokia which is locked, the phone reported error "device is secured, please provide code" ( <- this is free translation from my polish)
I assume the same sittuation should appear in case of wing with era sim card, but it is my first pda and I don't know if in this case my assumptions are correct.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
yes its sim locked
you can get it unlocked so it does thru some companys try search in google.
So why right now when I put sim card from different carrier I'm able to use the phone and make calls??
yep. I've got wing registered in era without any unlocking.
huh. thats really strange. it may be some weird kind of roaming. update when you receive your phone bill? If it's kind of ridiculous, you know you need to sim unlock.
I believe that if you get a tmobile sim(prepaid or borrow one?) you can ask them to give you the simlock code and they will
Can anyone please help me how to Unlock HTC HD2 from T-mobile?
Search ebay for UNIVERSAL UNLOCK UNLOCKED TURBO SIM CARD SAMSUNG NOKIA it worked for me and its under £5 too
You can call T-mobile direct and there will charge you £15.
It's the best and the safest way a guaranteed code, but you have to be with T-Mobile at least more than one month.
Just to add to this thread, you have to use a Windows Mobile ROM to SIM unlock the HD2. This is due to the fact that only Windows Mobile ROMe can access the bootloader, the IPL of bootloader is where the actual sim lock for the device and where the changes will be made on the device. You enter the code into SIM manager to unlock it.
I have just bought a used htc hd2 from t-mobile which has android on it.How to unlock it as it asks for the unlock code when I put a different sim on it?
Just call Tmo.. tell them that you're traveling abroad and need to use your phone with different provider. They will give you the unlock code free of charge. Done that with mine about a year ago. And now those phones are not in their prime anymore, do not think that you'll have any problem unlocking it through Tmo.....
Tester.
If your HD2 is from T-Mobile US and you have a plan with them, just give them a call. It should be free to get the code.
If not there are many places online to get an unlock code. DO NOT pay more than $10 for it though.
EDIT: just noticed this thread is from Feb 2010...
Thanks for sharing..................
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile USA HD2 which I just purchased an unlock code for. as per instructions which i found online, i removed the SIM, booted up and entered the code. After hitting enter, nothing happened so I dont know if it worked.
I dont have another SIM yet as I am doing this in preparation for my trip to europe later this week where i will need to use another sim card. Without having a different SIM, how can I check that the unlock code worked?
Thanks
Anyone know how to check?
surely there must be someone around who has a mobile phone, or do they sell sim cards in shops over there? you can get a sim for $2 in Oz at any supermarket.
In windows folder, launch "simlock.exe" (it can be hide)
If nothing appear, it's unlocked
Hey guys, strange problem:
Got a Telus LG Optimus 7. Want to unlock it to Rogers. Got the unlock code, however when I use my Rogers SIM the Optimus asks for a 'PUK' number.
Long story short, I called Rogers, they gave me the PUK for my SIM. When I enter it I get 'SIM Error'. So I went to a Rogers store and got a new SIM card with a new PUK--same error. Tried someone else's Roger's SIM--still asks for PUK.
I called around, no one has any idea what's going on. Google can barely help. Telus tells me I have to pay $50 to get it off their network, but I can't trust the rep knew what the problem was and they won't just give me an unlock code I already have. A 'cell phone repair shop' tells me LG phones are impossible to unlock anyway (? really?). So my question is:
How do I unlock this phone? What kind of security is this (could the PUK refer to someother other than a SIM's PUK)? Anyone have experience unlocking a Telus Optimus? Can I flash this thing and see if it'll bypass the PUK part?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. Other wise I have to try and resell this phone.
So, I re-flashed the phone anyway, just to see if it works.
Now it's a little different. Now it asks for a PUK and once I enter that it tells me to create a PIN. When I do it says SIM ERROR! So while I can get a little farther it still errors out!
I've tried both the Telus flash and the Mexico flash.
So if it's not the firmware, what could be causing this?!
PIN & PUK security depends on SIM card functionality, in this case phone software is transparent and does not verify PIN. IMHO it looks like incompatibility between SIM card and WP7 phone or strange configured SIM card. Try on another non-WP7 phone, maybe if you set or disable PIN code card will function on WP7 phone.
Thanks for the tip elektryk. I think you're on to something.
I have tried the SIM in a non-WP7 phone. It works fine. I put it in both an iPhone and BB. Using the iPhone I created a PIN then tried the Optimus. It now asks for a SIM pin--which I input, then goes back to the PUK screen which still fails.
It seems to be a very strange incompatibility with the SIM, even though I've read reports of Telus Optimus being unlocked for Rogers SIMs.
Bad luck I suppose?
I have exactly the same problem. I put a SIM with PIN security enabled, and after I enter the correct PIN requests the PUK!! and if I disable the PIN secure, request inmediatly for the PUK. The Phone say: Your phone is Blocked. Contact the Service provider for an unlock code.--- the only problem is that I don't use the AT&T service, so I can't contact them!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Fabian, I could not find a way around the problem so I sold the phone. Luckily there was another e900h which was unlocked for sale. The guy followed the same steps I did but it never asked for a PUK. Weird how some phones do and others don't (especially considering both phones were from the same provider).
EDIT: Hey, try this, see if it works: Try without sim card for enter the unlock code. and type 2945#*900# for enter the unlock menu

Hey, start the phone without sim card, but no unlock code required, no where to type.
I've a E900h where none of the 5 unlock codes provided worked for some reason. Haven't ask for PUK yet but lost as to what to do right now.
Typing 2945#*900# just produces a failed msg - top left hand corner is a file icon with lock on the left.
In our country ones you buy a sim from network provider.
they give us a card with a PUK code for the sim we buy.
Try to contact your service provider.
Unlock codes is For unlocking SIm Only.
you can switch different SIM f u have unlock codes.
it is different with SIm Pin Code.
You can get Ur PUK Code to your service Provider.
what country were u from??
PRESS THANKS IF I HELP!!
