Hi I want to sim unlock my hd2, and then install Nandroid operating system onto it. Will this effect the sim unlock? , was talking to a man in a shop and he said it might. Its one I have for sale and someone wants this doing to it, Its locked to T mobile uk at the moment.
p.s did do a quick search but am at work so shouldnt be on her
Thanks
Short answer is NO.
If you want to sim unlock your device you need to contact your provider.
Go to a store where they can unlock it for you or buy a code on the internet.
Good Luck
thanks for the reply, but what i meant was if i have it unlocked, then install nandroid will this remove the sim unlock?
No, i can guarantee you it wont. I got mine unlocked and had no problem switching SIM cards in WP7, Android or WM 6.5 . Cheers.
quick question to anyone that can answer this....
can you sim unlock while android is installed..i called tmobile requested the code but dkno if i can unlock with android running
I'm not 100% guaranteed, but i think that even runing android you can unlock your phone
I'd assume that you would be able to once Android recognizes your IMEI so yeah it should work.

Hi, and if i will re-flash a WM ROM???
the unlock will be?
Let's say this once, for the benefit of anyone else who reads this thread:
SIM UNLOCKING YOUR HD2 IS UNAFFECTED BY ROM CHANGES.
Once you SIM unlock the device, regardless of operating system currently installed, it will stay SIM unlocked even through ROM changes, including WP7/Android/WM6.5/etc/etc.

Hello. I have bought a HTC HD2 in Spain locked to Vodafone.
I have already installed HSPL2 and installed the portuguese offical ROM (insted of the default spanish).
However, the phone wont accepted my portuguese SIM card. What do i have to do to unlock it?
Tks
i answered your other duplicate post in the HSPL thread.

no, rom lock and sim lock are not connected. You need to either get the code from vodaphone spain, or buy an unlock code online.

heh,. dont be sorry.
No, i dont, i havent unlocked mine. I'm with O2 who have a free unlock service, BUT their 28 day service has taken 4 months so far, still no unlock code, hehe. Good job i dont need it unlocked!
There are a fair number of threads on here about sites like htcunlock.com (or whatever its called) with lots of feedback.
Put 'unlock hs2' into google, , loads of results.
I unlocked a T-Mobile USA & European HD2 here
Got codes back in under 48hrs & even contacted me to correct IMEI as I done a typo, oops ... codes worked fine & are so simple to use.
Worth noting you will need to be on WM OS to unlock the HD2, fortunately all our work HD2s are on WM OS .
you can contact your service provider

Actually you don't need to be!
I had my Tmo HD2 on Android when I put my FarEasTone SIM in. It just asked me to enter the unlock code and I did, it worked just fine.

I have flashed Tmobile HD2 with NexusHD2-Gingerbread but noticed that I can't still use AT&T Sim. Can someone help to explain how to get it to work?
Thanks.
hd2 can't use at&t 3g for one thing. next if you're talking about network connection and phone calls, that does seem strange. what radio version do you have? try looking through older threads about what radios are good for which carriers

Uhh. Just wondering are you trying to unlock your HD2 by flashing that rom? Then what you're doing won't unlock your phone. You have to get an unlock code.

Agree - to get it to work with AT&T sim card you will need the code for it. Once you put SIM Card in it will ask you to type in Unlocking Network Code or something like that - you enter it and that's it - it is unlocked...
FYI I did it under different ROM but it worked fine.

the easiest way to check is to put a different sim card into it(like att) and it will ask you for sim unlock pin if it's locked, if it doesn't and get's mobile signal right away then it's unlocked.
I don't think installing CM7 ROM will unlock the phone. The best way is to call T-mobile to get the phone unlocked. It's free and super easy if you have an voice plan in good standing.
i have unlock when i was still used window mobile , but after flash to andriod will efffect the unlock ?

Yes, it will. I got code and unlocked the hd2 with WM and no problem since there. I can work with any SIM from any operator.

if you unlocked it when using windows then it should be permanent no matter what operating system you put on

Doesn't matter. Unlocking the phone is based on the IMEI number of the phone and not the build it is using. The IMEI number will not change no matter what build you load onto the phone.
Ok, so I've been trying to examine what I've done but i don't know. The problem is, I unlocked my phone to all networks for free, how, I don't know, I only rooted it and installed/restored 3-4 ROM's. I didn't mess with digging on system files etc. I tryed to do this on the same friend's X8 and it didn't work. So, have I burned something or what? Very interesting, huh..
P.S. I buyed it new and it wasn't unlocked.
Are your phone and your friend's phone the same model? If not, that's the answer. Not all phones can be unlocked by flashing a new ROM. For example, my dad's phone worked for that effect. (A ZTE Blade) But my phone (A Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) doesn't work for that effect.
If I helped you, press the "THANKS" button!
Quite interesting.
Gonna try this with my x8.
Well according to other user,the SIM lock is included in the bootloader or the kernel I don't know exactly so something must have happend to them.
Also are you 100% sure that your phone was locked to a single carrier?
i dont think that its possible to unlock a phone through installing custom roms, unless the phone that the custom rom was developed on was unlocked? :S

SIM-lock info is stored in TA. It's hashed.
Baseband/radio reads this info. Radio handles SIM-card. It's hashed too (amss.sin/fota.sin).
Nothing can be done from within Android system to bypass this.
Yes, my friend's phone & mine are exactly the same. We even buyed it in the same store. One guy told me that unlocking with ROM is imposible and that's truth but in the other way he said that I burned radio controller or something like that.
@pandza94 Yes, I'm 100% sure, I tried with another SIM card and it didn't work (when i buyed the phone)

It's bought not buyed.
And this is impossible. You cant burn anything when flashing rom.
Please, stop spamming.

You are not the only one that unlocked x8 on that way.
I bought xperia x8 in tele2 and it was locked. I tryed other operators sim card but it didnt work.
But after flashing rom (instaling custom rom) I got my phone unlocked. Dont know how I do it but I do it ( I didnt know that I can do that, I just wanted to install custom rom)
@r4z0ry I bought it in bonbon option, but they have same delivery as tele2. I'm not so smart about android developing etc. but maybe ROM can acces those amss.sin/fota.sin files and unlock them? Sorry if I asked a stupid question
I dont know
I just bought form tele2 and I tryed to insert bonbon (tmobile) sim card but it wasnt accepted, but after rooting (or rooting and flashing) I tryed to insert bonbon sim and it worked, so I know that I unlocked x8 but dont know how

Not possible to do this way currently.
Hello,
Would somebody advise if the HSPL 2.08 unlocks the HD2 to use with different carrier? Long time ago I unlocked my T-Mobile HD to be used with custom ROMs. Today I switched service from T-Mobile to AT&T and found HD2 asking me for unlock PIN. I thought the phone was carrier unlocked with HSPL.
Is there a way to get the unlock pin for the phone for free,besides calling T-Mobile?
Thanks
No!
HSPL only unlocks it to be flashed to another ROM.
In your case you need a sim/network unlock code.
If you have a contract with TMobile you should ask them an unlock code, otherwise you should buy one on-line(ebay or whatever).
That's what I figured. Thanks for clarification.
what if it does not ask for PIN still shows no network

Could be a few things.
But some questions first.
1) Are you on Winmo or Android or WP7?
2) Are you 100% sure your SIM card is in the phone correctly?
I am on Winmo also have tried using wp7 and android but no luck
