Hello.
I do have Bell-locked HTC Incredible S And wondering if it's going to be unlocked after changing firmware?
Or carrier- lock is deeper inside? And if so, how do I unlock the phone without buying Unlock -code?

Are there any free ways to get rid of SIM-lock for Incredible S?
If someone can help me, thanks a lot
Currently not, its the same as the rooting process, if we manage to get perm root, we can unlock the sim lock.
So your stuck now on the lock
Hmm, strange. My Incredible S is not SIM-Lock! I can put whatever I want in it
My IS is also sim-lock free, but if its locked, your out of luck until root is here.
i think jtag box can help u
Simlock will depend if you bought a branded or standalone device. While i haven't tried another card.. my device is an Orange IS and i suspect it won't let me use any other sim.
Best thing to do is test.
Mine's sim free version also, but my friends have bought one from service providers and cannot use other sims. Like they said above, you will need to wait for a new root for it, but if you already got a contract for it, then it's ok to hang around for a while right? Just divert your calls for your current sim for now.
u should use xtc clip to unlock your in s

There is no free software to unlock this model.
I thought once you debrand and you are S-off it is unlocked?

S-OFF does not always equal SIM/Carrier Unlock. It depends on the method used. The XTC Clip does S-OFF and SIM/Carrier unlock the phone. AlphaRevX does not.
i'm not aware of any software or 'free' sim unlock services
plenty of paid sim unlock services that work well :/
the only way to sim unlock my old IncS is to buy the code (15$) from any website or there is another method ?
thank you.
You could unlock it for free from optus after 6 months of purchasing it...
Click thanks if I helped you out!

In the development section there is a tool called HTC super tool, some people say they've had success with that... If that doesn't work, Google is your friend

No changing the ROM will not SIM unlock it. Did you mean a Verizon Droid Incredible 2?
No ... Incredible S locked for Virgin Mobile

You either need to contact the carrier for the unlock code or use one of the pay services and purchase an unlock code.
Which HBOOT version does the phone have? If it is version 1.09 you might check the Development section. There was an older thread that claimed to S-Off and SuperCID earlier versions but doesn't work on the newer versions.
For HTC phones I've always noticed that they release the dev. edition which comes with an unlocked bootloader and is therefor rootable. Then it must be true that the regular release comes with a locked bootloader, is there generally a fast update where someone finds a way to unlock it or is the best bet to just buy a dev edition?

In the US unlocking the bootloader from a phone you get from at&t etc. is not completely legal: .. that being the reason why they sell the htc one dev version there!
You can unlock the phone via htcdev though It's simple and officially from htc :victory:

WRONG. Please do not spread incorrect information.
Unlocking a bootloader on ANY DEVICE OR CARRIER in the USA is 100% LEGAL.

I remember reading somewhere that the HTC One X+ was given extra restrictions by AT&T so it was harder to unlock. Can you have a bootloader sent to a website/company to have it unlocked for a small fee?

No because if HTC dev is'nt avaliable to unlock bootloader than it's uasally xda folks that crack the bootloader and most xda folks share the unlock, plus if only some small company can crack the bootloader for a fee, the development would'nt be very good
Hi guys, I have a C6906 from Rogers that I SIM unlocked for AT&T. I checked and the bootloader is locked, is there any way to by pass the lock or is it totally locked for good?

If you're talking about a "bootloader unlock allowed: no" related issue, then your only possible solution involves the test-point above the battery (as outlined in this post) and some custom software by the developers of SEtool, and I have no idea if this will actually work, but most likely nothing else ever will.
