[Q] Help me pls ! can't find code...

Hi Ya
Pls help me looking everywhere desperately for an unlock code for my G1
My uncle bought me a G1 in England and i live in Greece..... So i really need an unlock code....
If someone could help me giving me my unlock code i would be very very happy.
BTW i will PM my IMEI to the one who can find it for me...
Or if nobody can find anything can someone tell me when the will be a program coming out to unlock the G1 like they did for the Iphone ....

Hello there,
This isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but you'd need to get back in contact with T-Mobile UK. As they will be the only ones that hold the unlocking code for you. Root'ing will not be able to unlock you're phone so there is no program for this. Not to sure how much unlocking codes cost from t-mobile, there is no information on the website. You could try and call +44 79539 66 150 which is the roaming number (it'll put you to the front of the queue and you can ask an agent there)
Hope this helps!

Hi again
Thanx a lot for trying to help me. I will phone them monday at 12 o'clock (greek time) ....

Not to sure what the time difference is, we're BST at the mo so thats GMT+1. Opening hours are 8am till 9pm.
Hope they can provide you with your code!

Ye ok thanx ...
Any ideas what i should say ???
I phoned T-mobile US and they say with out a T-mobile account number i can't do anything... Is that true ???
I really want to try my G1

T-mobile is not necessary, it's just the free way if you are already with t-mobile. There are several 3rd party websites which can aquire an unlock code for you. Most guarentee you a code almost instantly, my understanding is htc charges them $10 and they in turn charge you $20, thereby earning $10 for a simple email/money transfer to htc. Afaik some company needs to contact htc for you, I don't think you can deal directly with htc tho that would be nice. Unfortunately I can't really recommend anyone to go thru as I've done all my unlocking thru t-mobile.
Edit: also if you know someone with t-mobile every 90 days t-mobile will unlock a phone for them. The phone doesn't have to be registered to their account just tied to t-mobile. As a matter of fact to actually unlock the dream you must put in a non-tmo sim. Your 'friend' may need to tell t-mo they intend to leave the country or something, your friend may also require a few bux for the trouble lol

Yeah usually just stating that you plan to use the mobile abroad is sufficient enough for them to hand over the code. If not then keep pressing for it and hopefully they will get a manager or someone higher to deal with the issue. The joys of support
I know in the UK certain vendors (Vodafone) offer all of their phones unlocked to begin with but I don't know what it's like in the states.

Hi guys
This morning i phoned T-mobile uk with NPerry number. LOL it was funny i waited like 10 min. Then someone finally answered but he couldn't hear what i was saying (i was on skype) so i lost 2 euros calling and i didn't have what i wanted....
So i decided to buy an unlock code. So pls tell me which site is the best and most secure ???? www.htccode.com ? (looks like it doesn't word anymore it says "This Account Has Been Suspended" ow well) what else http://www.modmygphone.com/ ???
pls anwer
And BTW thanx for the others that answered me before

If you got your Phone through O2 in the UK, just call them, they don't usually charge for unlocking. Tell them you need to put a work sim in it and it a different provider.

+1 for htcimeiunlock.com
On the site they let you put in your info including carrier, model, and IMEI. They then tell you if they have the unlock code, and if so and how much it costs and how long it will take.
In my case it said 15 minutes and $25. I paid with paypal and about 15 minutes later the unlock code arrived in email. The code worked and my phone is now unlocked.
I will use them in the future.

Worked for me
used the link above and it just worked (no issues, Just be sure you provide the correct IMEI or you may have a problem) use IMEI from the device not your box (I have seen issues where they do not always match).
Cheers
BR

I used the site above but it says it can't find a code when I input my IMEI.
Help please!!!

Will that website provide an unlock code for ANY hd7 that's locked to tmobile? because i'm thinking of getting one to canada and i wont be able to return it so i have to make sure that it can be unlocked!!

I bought mine from a nice guy through Kijiji in Toronto... HTC HD7 (T-Mobile branded) and he even had unlock code. If you post an ad there, I'm sure he'll respond. Make sure you put it in the "want to buy" section and make sure the subject line has HTC HD7 Unlock Code Wanted. It's the least I can do to send you to him as he was very fast and effecient and affordable.

That website didn't work for me. Trying cellunlock.net now, they said they couldn't find a unlock for my imei and they have to contact HTC. Going to take a few days.

I'll give that a try if cellunlock fails. How much was it and did he e-mail the code?

I used www.cellunlocker.net on both my HD7's. codes arrived in about 25-30 mins and only cost 19.99
-oh both are the tmobile branded, tested with other sim cards, and works.

The kijiji dude was $20 but I was also buying the phone from him. He gave me the code on paper. Try the other suggested website first.

I unlocked my HD7 with htcimeiunlock. The phone was locked to o2 Uk. They emailed me the code within 5 minutes!

are y'all that are having problems sure you are entering your imei code right?

same here but on T-Mobile and the code was sent within 2 minutes

O2 did the job in less than a day... FOR FREE...
I have bought my HD7 on PAYG - but I have a Simplicity 10 contract - as someone had suggested earlier - I have used that phone number when requesting the unlock code and in less than 24 hours they sent me the unlock code by email.

Yup, I doubled, tripled, and quadrupled checked.

still no joy here
I just bought a t-mobile branded HD7 from a store in California and have failed on both sites to get an unlock code. Keeps telling me the IMEI code is not recognized. This is a little worrying as I plan to be going back to the UK soon. Also frustrating as others on t mobile seem to have been having success.

Might be able to get it here:
http://www.unlockitnow.com/HTC/HD7.php
This is where i got mine, took about 3 hours to get the code from HTC (used HTC- Worldwide (New Codes))

maybe tmous is trying to keep the phone locked down. If you got in on contract I don't think tmous will give it to you till you have had the phone 60 days. You could call them and tell them you are going overseas on business so you need the sim unlocked for overseas use. That is what I did with my hd2 before I sold it.

Guess I'm the only one with an un-unlockable HD7 in the world. I tried 3 different legit unlock companies and all failed. I called HTC and they said the carrier locks it. I called T-Mobile and spent 2 hours on the phone discussing everything from having to get a temporary pay-as-you-go plan to having to wait 40 days for an unlock code. Now they say if I fax them the receipt they could have it the next day at best.
This would be great except like some of you I bought mine on Kijiji and I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller.
Anyone want to buy my un-unlockable HD7?

[Q] Sim unlock HD& from o2

Hello,
I recentley got a HD7 from o2 with a pay as you go sim because i cant get the HD7 from Orange (my network)
Now I have the phone I have found O2 have Sim locked it so I cannot use my Orange sim in it. I have looked all through XDA developers to see if other people had the same problem.
A lot of people have used http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-hd7-unlock I have been on this site every day for 2 weeks and they cannnot find an unlock code for my ime number.
I have used a cople of other unlock websites i found on google but they all say they cant find the unlock code.
Dose any one have any suggestions? If not dose any one want a HD7 locked to o2?

Sounds tough for you, I had mine unlocked from there within 5 minutes and its an 02 pay as you go, using http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-hd7-unlock.

Yeah I bought an HD7 at the weekend, locked to O2 with the intention of getting it unlocked. First person I tried came back saying they couldn't find an unlock code. Trying again with someone else who promises they use the newest database (costs more) but it's been nearly twenty four hours without anything so I'm guessing no luck again.
The IMEI checker on htcimeiunlock.com says a code isn't in the database so I don't know what to do either. When I check price and availabilty on unlock-now.com it takes me to their order page and costs €35.00 but I haven't really seen them before so not sure if they're legit. HTCCode are around the same price but I've heard quite a few horror stories, so a bit put off now.

And sure enough, another refund due to a lack of code. Going to ring O2 directly, when I asked instore I mentioned that I wasn't on O2 and so couldn't use the web form, so he told me to ring instead.
EDIT: Big fat nope, only after 12 months.

Just used the Live Support feature on the HTCCode website and got a quick response. My phone isn't in the database yet but it should be updated within a fortnight. Took my details to get back to me when that happens.
Looks like I'm playing the waiting game sadly.

[Q] Using HD7 on Vodafone UK Network

Afternoon gents,
I am trading my iPhone 4 for the HD7 but i don't get very good signal with O2, so i was thinking about buying the handset unlocked and then putting a Vodafone contract SIM in it.
But, will this affect phone updates as carriers control WP7 updates?
Thank you.

You will have to wait for O2 to push updates as it will have an O2 ROM on it (O2 splash logo, locked yahoo search etc).
The only way around this is to flash a Euro branded ROM using Goldcard (exactly what I did) or one of the other methods floating around in the dev thread.

What about buying the phone from one of the East Asia compaines?
Found a site which offers the handset for £250 - checked reviews everywhere and all have recieved their items without fault.
One would assume that these devices would not have the O2 ROM?

No problem with Asia Phone
I bought my HD7 from an Asian shop on ebay. No problems whatsoever and I am also on Vodafone. I did use the disconnect trick and am now runing the nodo update with no issues. I also got my 16GB phone a LOT cheaper.
Crack on, it's well worth it!
Edit: Of course it was completely inbranded

What's the disconnect trick?
Did Zune tell you that an update was available?

You'll be fine i bought my via o2 but same reason due to poor data signal i ported over to vodafone, and it works brilliantly, update is fine, recently HTC push the NoDoUpdate via ZUNE and everything is runing smoothly.

Same here, I've been on Vodafone for years but pre-ordered a PAYG HD7 from O2 then just got it unlocked and has been great since.
Granted I did flash the latest Euro ROM using GOLDCARD so have no problems with updates or anything but all in all very much glad I sold on my iPhone 4 when I did, thankfully found someone nice to buy it and paid what I did as got a Unlocked one straight from Apple when they first came out.

If i bought a HD7 from the O2 shop, how would i go about unlocking it?
Would this also remove the O2 boot logo?
(You'll have to excuse my stupid questions, i do computers not phones )

You could either pay a unlock site to give you a unlock code or if you know a O2 Contract Customer they can fill out the unlock code request form online and request one for free. If you do it that way it may take two or three attempts as some guys email back and say no cos it's a contract phone but then somebody won't check as much and just issue the code, know loads of people done it this way, took 2 attempts to get mine.
As for the branding NO it would not get rid of it, to do that you would need to flash the phone with a different ROM like a HTC Euro ROM using such as the GOLDCARD Method. This will not make any difference to your unlock status so you know so you can't unlock it by flashing another ROM, and you can flash as often as you want and it won't relock the phone, once it's unlocked it's unlocked.

If you had to do the disconnect trick then it isnt de-branded.
The debranded HD7s got the update on the day of release.
I got my HD7 from O2, unlocked it through O2, and then left and went to 3.
I also did the debranded as said on here, which was nice and easy, and I got the nodo update on the day of release

I assure it is unbranded and the update was not available on the day of release as reported all over the web. I have since however rolled back the update and received the official update with HTC additions via Zune.

[Q] SIM unlocking the XL

Just got mine today, traded in the Galaxy s2 as I fell in love with the screen on the XL. The single core processor still handles the jobs I use the phone for but now I can squint a little less.
One issue, I have been unable to find a sim unlock code as yet. Most online services I have tried say they don't have the IMEI on their databases.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting it unlocked? I need to use 2 different SIMs to get coverage at both home and work!

What network did you get it with or was it an upgrade via CPW or P4U (in UK)?

just got a confirmation from this site that they can unlock
http://www.unlockdata.co.uk/index.asp

It was an upgrade from O2.
I tried the site you suggested but they don't have a record of the IMEI yet.
I have been waiting for O2 to offer the unlock key (which they do for free) but they refused cause my SIM hasn't been in the phone yet! Problem is, no coverage at home. I just drove out of town with the SIM in the phone and did some texts and gonna try O2 again... It's so frustrating.

That is annoying, especially for O2, they were really good with me back in the day,,,, lets see how Orange do now

O2 have now accepted that I am using the phone and have said that they have to get the unlock key from the Manufacturer which could take a few days.... Oh well, a few days without calls/text won't hurt I suppose. It would be better if it could be unlocked like the Galaxy range tho. Can't wait for some decent ROMs without all the HTC guff.

anyone know where to unlock???

Received unlock code from O2 this morning. 7 days, but no charge!

They should be able to sort you an unlock code (at a cost) but @lucasex is your phone brand spanking new on brand new contract? or have you been with O2 before etc?

i havent been with o2 at all
its brand new pay as you go from o2
its a shame ive just pay 449£

They unlock a contract phone free at anytime but with pay and go its gotta be 12 months before they unlock and they charge.

just got my unlock code from O2 free of cost, was ordered on saturday

Unlockdata don't stock the code so don't use them yet also beware of others that say they do. Mobileunlocked is also very good so check them too. So many unlock scams online these days its unreal
Sent from my HTC Nexus One using xda premium

Looks like for now only network can source the codes
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda premium

well i tried the free unlock solution posted in the sensation forum and my code was not on my phone...............got the imei number with date above it LOL. oh well at least i checked. temp root turned perma root using evo3d temp root method.

Why not email the developer on sensation forums and ask him to check your files, He will need you to upload a few but i believe he can do it
