Hello i very seriously considering buying the diamond on an orange contract- However i intend to use the phone with my 02 CPW sim because it has unlimited web so the question is if i have this phone unlocked how much would it cost? and if i had it locked will i be able to use all the features inc email, internet sync with microsoft exchange as per usual?
thanks in anticipation
any one out there?

seach google for diamond sim unlock..... i think it $10(not sure)
and yes u can still use all the features!!!
Check the first sticky in the Diamond Rom Development thread, one of our experts has a proper site set up for it, cheap and 100% effective.
and just to confirm, yes, all features are usuable, it just releases the sim lock on the device to accept all operators.
Just to make it easy for you:

Thanks to Olipro for this
Thanks for your replies, very helpful. Just to be 100% clear then all i need to do is unlock and i can you use all the features with my 02 cpw sim without any changes to the phone. i was just thought that there may be software ect unique to orange that would need to be changed as well? thanks for your patience and sorry about my ignorance i just want to be sure before i buy
thanks

Hi Guys,
I'm on T-Mo USA and am looking at a AT&T Tilt to replace my damaged MDA. I've read somewhere that I would not be able to unlock the WM6.1 version. Is that true? If so, how can I downgrade to WM6, unlock and then upgrade back to the OEM WM6.1?
I would appreciate any comments. Thanks.
Read a little more, you've obviously been miss lead. And you do not unlock a rom, you unlock the phone, then you flash a rom, or keep the one you have on there.
The guide to all unlocking is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835

Thanks very much guys. It's not the first phone that I've flashed but Icould have sworn I read that. Anyway, as always the advice and opinions are always very much appreciated! Cheers.
Just when I thought I was home free...
In my original post I was refering to this thread to unlock the sim;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
It says absolutely do not attempt a sim unlock on a WM6.1 phone.
Do I really need to downgrade?
*****EDIT***** Read the bloody instructions Mobi!

Dashmaster, what ROM are you using? Did it have all of the T-Mo settings (USA) or did you have to add them? Cheers.

I am using L26 M3D! Great ROM! It comes with the network config installer so it sets everything up for you! All I had to do was setup my unlimited web stuff! You can let me know if you need that info but everything works MMS, SMS and WEB. People are always looking at my phone and saying " oh you have AT&T" I say nope T-Mobile! Flips them out! LOL! If you ever need any help with T-Mo stuff feel free to PM me, most people in this section have AT&T so I can help you with T-Mo stuff! Always happy to help! I know alot too! (Not trying to brag, I just do!)
how did u go about doing this? did you have to downgrade back to the 6.0 then unlock, then upgrade back to 6.1?
Here is the tools & basic instructions I use to unlock Kaisers on WM6.1 ROMs.
Works most times but sometimes may need downgrade to WM6.0.

This thread is not "supported" by xda developers per say. Eqx posted in an effort to avoid the problems tupisdin's thread had in the Blackstone forum. Although, if he were a scammer, this post would be history by now.

If you are wanting to research tupisdin's services, please see his previous threads and draw your own conclusions.

CID unlocking nowadays (since the hermes/trinity days anyhow) means you have Hard SPL to flash custom ROMs (I suppose it could also mean using a Goldcard to change language). (See FAQ #3 for my explanations)
So no, you won't have this until OliNex release one.

I want to replace the phone in German language with English language that does not change the rom and I do not shop
sorry, but there is no way to switch the languag to english without changing the rom.
so you have to search this forum for a ROM that suits your purpose, and flash it onto your device. everything installed right now get's lost, and you also have to backup your contacts/sms/mails ,...
I also replaced the german ROM on my device with an english one. I had no problems at all.

watch phones linked to IMEI number so that if the test ban will hardspl regardless of whether it is successful, so next to each phone that unlocks everything but do not try the other IP address immediately unlocks rom, and the happiness

I have moved his over to the appropiate section and copied and pasted my question.
I am new to this forum and apologize for my noobness in advance as i wasn't sure either to post this here or in the Android Software and Hacking General section and i appreciate any comments as i understand i am new here and have contributed nothing to this forum. Here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a t mobile g1 from a friend about two weeks ago because i was interested in the android OS. Being in the UK it is locked to the T-mobile network which my existing sim is orange. I understand that there was a developers ROM that was released (codenamed holiday (adp 1.1)) which allows other networks to be used on the g1 e.g orange etc as its a developer version. I was wondering what compatible ROMS for the g1 (htc dream) that would allow me to use my orange sim. Again i really do appreciate nay comments and help i receive and understand i have not contributed to this community and it is highly rude to ask for something when given nothing.
Changing the ROM on your device will not unlock it so that you can use it on any network. You need to get an unlock code for your device. T-Mobile US will give these out to their subscribers but I don't know about your carier. If they don't you can get it online too. They will need your phone's IMEI to generate the code. Just put in the new SIM and it will prompt you for the code regardless of the ROM you have.
isnt there such a thing as a hardware unlock though if i use a custom rom?. I brought this phone from a friend so i doubt phoning t-mobile will help get me a code.
p.s. cheers for taking the time to comment
No, I'm fairly sure the only way to unlock this device is what I posted above.
i thought you just needed a t-mob sim to login and then you were free to choose after this whole rooting/flashing thing.
its already a long time ago, so i might confuse a lot and its only that what i think to know. nothing sure..
i wanted an android phone and my friend was saying i culd get his off him and i thought that be a perfect time to get into the android os and stuff, i wasnt ure if i coulld by rooting/flashing that id be able to use another network thats why i wondered if i flashed it to a deveopler rom the adp1 one i could us another sim, i will look into the method beav_35 put but im not sure on any reputable sites to trust to do this method.
Hello guys,
I am writing this because i truly cannot find the only answer i want in the forum.
You guys probably heared this over and over again, but i was not writing this thread if i could have found the answer (i believe is quite simple for you, so i ask kindly for you, XDA community, answer me).
I am from Portugal and i recently bought a HTC ONE. (do not even know if it is the M7 or not, in its box only says htc ONE).
It is blocked to a single operator (TMN).
Since it is not my operator, i need some help obviously.
How can I ONLY unlock sim card (since i want the device as original, just want to insert another operator sim card).
Are there any steps i should follow to get this done? I have red many post from the community but i do not understand any of them.
If any of you guys would be kind enough to write here step by step what should i do, i would appreciate that.
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my "newbicity"
Cheers all
Andre

Yes its possible to sim unlock. You should first try to call the carrier and ask them to give you the unlock code (you will need to give them the phone IMEI # which can be found on the box next to the s/n# or can be found in your phone settings ---> about phone ---> phone identity
If the carrier don't want to give you the unlock code, you can pay for that service. Many internet site offer that service (even trough Ebay). Again you will need to provide IMEI. Generally cost between 10-20$ US
Edit: You'll be prompted to enter that unlock code when you'll insert the sim card that isn't from TMN.

Try with the carrier, sometimes they do it for free.
