[Q] PLease help! Strange sim-unlock problem - HD2 General

I've recently bought a Leo on ebay.
The seller informed that it's simlocked to 3 Austria.
I've paid several euros to a number of unlocking services websites but the code they give me is the same, which doesn't work.
After I input it the phone says that the code is invalid.
I've already flashed HSPL, a custom ROM and 2.15.50.14 radio. I only mention this, although it must not be relevant.
I need assistance. Thank you.

Update not available for my Serial

Hi
My current version is 1.48, I just got the phone and wanted to update to the latest 1.66. When I put my serial in on the HTC site it says:
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
What Can I Do??? I do not want to be stuck on 1.48 and would prefer not to void my warranty..
Im on MTN South Africa if that helps at all.

If you don't want to void your warranty then there's nothing you can do. Even if you could download it, you wouldn't be able to flash your phone with it.
You could use HSPL so that you can then flash the newer ROM, but you would need to reflash the original ROM and then remove HSPL if you ever needed to send your phone for repair.
Sorry, but...
... that is the same problem with any HD2 that is "Branded" => when you turn on your phone, you see a flash screen during the boot with your phone company's logo. For these phones you need to get the ROM-Update directly from your phone company and not HTC. The companies are really slow in rolling out the Updates - if at all.
Don't feel bad - we're having the same problem here in Europe (some of us stuck with ver. 1.43).
You could use one of the custom ROMs on this site and if there is a warranty issue, just replace it with the original - provided the phone has not totally died - prior to submitting it for service.
my phone is not branded and i get the same error when trying to download new rom. Im from Slovenia
My phone has one or two apps from the Service Provider but there is no branding when starting the phone. I did not have this problem with my Nokia N95 from the same SP and it had the same aps on.
The same issue is here in he UK with Vodafone. The handset is unbranded but the serial numbers have been blocked by HTC to get updates until they've been tested by the service provider. The only way of getting the update is to use HSPL.
how many of these threads do we need? does no one use the search function on forums anymore?

Roms are region dependant AND provider dependant. a slovenian phone will be tied to teh east european rom, not the wwe rom.

Thats actually comforting news (the fact that the hd2 is unbranded on vf, not that we have to wait).... does this mean that as per their website its unlocked to other networks too, as I need to use 3 other sims in it depending on country I am in... thanks

How to unlock T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 and use my local sim card in Turkey

Hey, I just bought a Tmobile Htc Hd2 in usa last week which has a sim lock, and I just want to learn how to unlock this phone and use my non-tmobile sim card. And the other thing is, If I am going to flash a new rom, what about the sim lock. Will it be unlocked by flashing a custom rom.
Thank you,

I used this ebay solution and it worked.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130377492375&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I check the link, but I don't know if they could do, I received an e-mail delivery failure.
Are you a TmoUS customer coz if so you will be able to unlock your phone from them. You just have yo request it.
If you are not a TmoUS customer you will be able to unlock your phone via using htccode.com, unlock-now.com, or others. There are a lot of unlockers on the web or at ebay if you like you just have to search for it. Google is your friend. Try searching for "HTC HD2 Unlocker."
Now if you already have the code unlocking the phone is easy. Insert your non TmoUS sim card ie. your Turkish sim card then power it on then the phone will recognize that the sim is not TmoUS and ask for a code. Just enter the code and your done.
Flashing the phone with custom ROM's will not unlock your phone.
Have a great day unlocking your phone.
Thanks for your reply, I already check too many unlock code services on net but I don't know which one is reliable? Any idea?
Try cellunlock.net it cost me 20 dollars and I got it the same day there is a cupon code i will try and get for you normal price is 40 cupon gives you 50% off
Code is berryscoop50, for those interested. it works I used it 4 days ago to unlock mine
ok for u all that want ur tmous hd2 unlocked the best way to do so is to call tmobile and if u hav an account and its in good standing to ask for the unlock code they will give it to u
Using Tmous in India
Hi,
i used cellunlock..
but tmous just released a Rom update..
1) you should ideally install the update first.. (it'll hard reset your peice)
2) Get you Imie by pressing *#06# on your phone
3) Send the Imie to cellunlock
4) then insert a local Sim card
5) It will ask for an unlock code..enter the code cellunlock gives you and Voila
Also.. when youre buying the code from cellunlock enter 'berryscoop' in the discount code to get 50 % off
Hope this helps
I called t-mobile to get min unlocked and 2 days later they e-mailed me the code. I tried the phone with ATT sim it worked fine..I need the code because I might go on vacation to middle east.
Is anyone willing [with a T-Mobile account] to ask for an unlock code for me if I provide my IMEI? I would really appreciate it.
Looking for the similar solution, but you do not need an account number. All you need is a copy of the invoice showing full retail price. If anyone is willing to share how the invoice is supposed to look like... I would delete all confidential information including the IME Number before posting the copy of the invoice. For those of us living outside US this is the only way to get this done.
Guys, use link from mingkee Tested this service many times even with HTC UK models. All codes from them work fine.

You will also have to register your phone with Turk Telcom or who ever you use. I took a US unlocked phone into Turkey a few years ago and was using a local sim card. Recieved text message from Turk Telcom that my phone would be disabled if it wasn't registered within a few days
hey guys for those who got theirs unlocked. what was the code made of ? how many numbers? any letters? how many digits total ? can you share an unlock code just so that i have an idea? thanks
I bought an TmoUS HTC HD2, i live in lebanon and i want to use it on the lebanese carriers sim, anyhow i flashed the phone to DFT Wp7 ROM ! everything is working fine ... i recieved the unlock code from t-mobile USA for unlocking the Sim, im following th instructions as the e-mail says and here how it's happening :
i insert my lebanese sim card
the phone asking for the unlock code, i insert the Code that T-mobile sent me
the phone says the Code is accepted and opens th WP7 home page, what im getting confused of is that the sim is still locked no network coverage and can't see any network coverage and if i go to the dial pad it asks for the sim unlock again :S ....
I just wanna knw is it becuase i flashed to WP7 maybe caused this or any radio or rom flashing problem .... !!?
Hello, I've the same problem in Turkey but my phone has Android. It still wants a SIM-lock-code... What can I do for Android-Tmob. Same as WM?

new update HD2 t-mobile 2.10.531.1 to 2.13.531.1

Hi,
I bought a T-MOBILE HTC HD2 unlocked and use it with the chip carrier OI (in the city of Brasilia in Brazil), if I use the upgrade version 2.10.531.1 to 2.13.531.1 available on the T-Mobile, it can block my only device for use on T-Mobile, or continued unlocked for all carriers.
Software Information appliance:

For now, for personal reasons, I would try upgrading to the newer version is available at T-Mobile, but I'm afraid to lock the device to the other providers (eg HI I use currently). This possibility exists or can I upgrade and the unit will continue unlocked for all operators?
I appreciate any help.
Including how to put a new ROM in Portuguese, that is, if one exists. How is the procedure?
Pardon me if I'm posting in the wrong place or am doing something that is not in accordance with the rules of the forum. If you please notify me so I will not repeat the mistake.
(Translated from PORTUGUESE TO ENGLISH BY GOOGLE)
i havent unlock and i dont want to lead u the wrong way but make sure your hd2 has hspl done allready and probably dont have to upgrade but the radio and u dont have to mess with the rom just my suggestion lol
sorry in advance u are allready hspl i think do ur research
it will be fine. changing the rom has no effect on sim/network lock.
Hi, I also have the t-Mobile HD2 & I unlocked it; but, I can't upgrade to T-Mobile's new ROM because it doesn't recognize my phone as a T-Mobile phone anymore. Is there a way around it in order to receive the new upgrade? The only thing I can think of is re-locking it to T-Mobile, upgrade, and then unlock it again. But that seems kinda crazy to me and where would I find the T-Mobile lock code. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

what does the red bit mean? do you mean when you enter your serial number into the t mobile website to get the update?
two things, firstly, thats very odd, normally when you unlock the network it has no effect on the rom lock. None at all. (Sure you are getting your serial correct? )
secondly, theres abound to be a mirror around here somewhere.
I have and unlocked Tmous HD2 that I mainly use in T-mobile network but when I travel to South America I use the phone with Movistar (Uruguay and Argentina sim cards). I updated the phone to 2.13 and it didn't lock the phone, the phone is still unlocked and the Movistar sim cards works just fine as they did before.
I hope this help you.
ok.
Okay folks, it worked, everything was right! Do not block my hd2! Many thanks to all.

Quick ROM Question

I tried to download the latest O2 ROM from the HTC site, but on inputting the serial number, I was was given a message that it was not compatible with my phone. I contacted HTC Support, and they said my phone was originally branded German Vodafone. They have supplied a link to the correct ROM, but if I upgrade my phone, will it then become Vodafone branded? Further, will it remain unlocked?

Why do u wish to update to the Stock ROM Si6776 when some amazing customized ROMs are available? Are you planning to send the phone back?
If your phone is SIM Unlocked then you can add any ROM and it won't have any issues. If you are using HSPL, then your phone is ROM unlocked and not sim unlocked.
Sorry, I'm not all that technically adept. What is HSPL? I bought the phone off eBay, and it was just unlocked.
It will have the Vodafone apps etc... But if ur device is sim unlocked... it will remain sim unlocked.

HTC HD2 sim lock H3G Austria

Hello everyone
I bought on ebay a HTH HD2 with the sim lock H3G Austria.
I installed the original Italian Roma hoping to remove the block but it did not work I still have the sim lock.
Can you help me I'm desperate
thx
Hi
I also have a 'Drei' (H3G) HD2 and wanted to unlock it.
The problem is: 'Drei' seems to have different unlock codes or something like that.
Nobody could unlock my phone, i tried 6 different shops.
So unless there happened something in the last month, you have bad luck!
