Hey guys!
I hope this is the right subforum to ask this question, and i hope i wasn't to stupid to use the search engine
I'm thinking about purchasing a HD2/Leo from UK and i've found some offers of 400 Pounds, but the problem is: These phones are Branded and one offer says "Simlocked"
First of all i'd install a ROM in german (original HTC), would this also disable the branding and the simlock? (i'd say yes, but hey, you're the pro's )
While i wrote this i read that it works with a vodafone software branding, but i'd like to have a confirmation from you
Best Regards

€dit: Does someone know if Leos have only software brandings or do they already have something like "T-Mobile" on the front?
Please please use the "search" function. This question has been asked numerous times.
Thanks
simlock is only unlockable by getting a code from either provider or from various unlock websites.(varied results) Currently there are no free ways to do this.
To test if your rom is also locked, try putting your serial into the HTC website, if it fails then the rom is locked to the provider.
However, simlock does not prevent you using different roms. Find your original rom as a backup, then use HSPL to allow you to flash whatever rom you like via activesync.
Have a read of this and this and this too.
Start your search for your original rom here
hey
thanks for your replies
@Ibb, sorry, i guess i didn't search hard enough, i found something after that but i was short in time.
@samsa:
thank you too but i already read that this won't disable the simlock which is important to me due i'm not a t-mobile user. But i already looked up at ebay.co.uk, there are very nice offers too
thank you for your replies

Can I use the same sites as you too unlock?
Which one did you use?
Hi,
I got told off for posting this in an unrelated thread, so apologies and thoughts I'd start a new one.
I follwed the great work done on on another xda thread that I can't link to. I now have a rooted HTC Tattoo, thanks to the M7 fix.
Now what ?
The original problem I was trying to fix was that I had a locked Tattoo to Orange. I did a ROM flash which got rid of all the Orange guff, but it still gives me the message that I need a network unlock code to work. In reality, that seems a spurious message because even with a valid(?) or just an 8 digit number it looks unlocked, but the sim doesn't work.
Reading around the topic, I gather that the radio doesn't get flashed because Orange prevents access to it. What I'm thinking is that now that I have a rooted adb shell I can apply a ROM to the Radio?
Any ideas. I'm thinking I might need a custom Rom? Which I know is being worked on, I just wonder if the nature of the rooting not being persistent prevents the usual flashing process? Although I'm tech-savvy, the phone is a new platform for me, so please be gentle.
Thanks
Hi!!
I've got the same problema, I've got a HTC Tattoo locked for Orange Uk. I flash it to the lastest Official Version. I try to do root and I put the unlock code. It acept but it doesn't registred to mobile network.
Do you fix it?
Hey peepolz,
I just purchased a used T-Mobile HD2 for some rom tinkering. I'll be using it in India. Was wondering if I needed to unlock the sim through WinMo 6.5 before installing Android or would installing an Android Rom over WinMo automatically unlock it, since it is practically a completely new software over the old.?

a) No.
b) Read guides in sticky first before asking questions.
c) Wrong forum. Please post question in the "questions" forum, this is for posting ROM's/Builds and related development ONLY.

1) No what? It gets unlocked after putting in Android or needs to be unlocked?
2) Sorry, my bad.
3) Moderator, please pardon and oblige.
It neither requires SIM unlocking, or does it. (Assuming you're using the correct provider's SIM!)
In simpler words, Android does not sim unlock your phone.
Sent from my HD2 running Android on NAND
unlock the HD2 for 20$.. there are few sites available.. i tried with this way and it works good in Indian SIM
if you bought without any contract, call Tmobile customer care and get the unlock code...
once it's unlocked you can use it in India..
Installing rom won't unlock the SIM lock with tmobile
Thnx Guys.
Hi All
I have had a quick search (At work atm)
Found various threads to remove the Sim lock but they go on and on and on lol.
As its not my HD2 (Friends who not at all tech savvy)
I have HSPL 2.08 installed along with MagDLR1.13 and of course Clockwork Recovery Mod.
With Android Running.
Just wondering is there a free solution to getting the Sim lock removed.
Thank you...
P.S how the sod do you remove the o2 splash screen
yeah im waiting to see answers...
I just picked up a Tmobile HD2, MAGDLR1.3? and clockwork mod.
put in my AT sim and its locked :\ also would like to remove the Tmobile splash...
Sim lock... Either get and unlock code from T-mobile ( or O2) or buy the unlock code online.. those are the easiest ways
As for removing the the splash screens... those are cooked into roms
The first power on screen is an .nbh file that you can find in XDA many different ones..
While the other screens after the bootloader are ROM dependent so flash a custom rom with a different screen or cook your own and remove it
contact o2 to get an unlock code
flash a stock rom and it will remove the o2 boot screen
You can change the o2 splash screen by looking here
