I see there are lots of websites where you send in your IMEI and they send you a code number. You stick in a SIM from a different company, slide the circle up to the message, type in the code, and the phone is unlocked.
I assume these sites are using a program to generate this unlock code number from the IMEI right? If so, what is that program called and where can it be downloaded from? I don't really want to send my IMEI to some place I don't know and cannot trust.
Thanks in advance!
that is no program, those vendors have means to obtain the codes.

there is no software like jngtt said. All website offering this service go via a handful of people who have high level service level access with HTC. They can access the database from HTC where all these unlock codes are stored based on the IMEI.
HTC unlock by IMEI is not free and I don't think it won't be but it is pretty damn cheap. Check out this offer:

MOD EDIT: I've removed your IMEI from your post. It's not a good idea to post it in a public forum.
you can "find" it on eBay . cost you $4 for unlock code . i think this price is reasonable

It's probably not a good idea to publicly post your IMEI; I suggest private messaging it to the person if you trust them, but definitely edit your post and don't just have it visible to the public.
It's not cheap at all...
I don't think i must pay for that. Is not right.

How do I check to see if my Vivid is unlocked?
I know I can use a non AT&T card (it's unlocked)but I want to use the keypad method where you enter a string of numbers and the network lock on off screen shows.
If your an att customer you can call care and request an unlock code. If not search online for an unlock site there are many.

This may or may not work. ive been on the phone with att 4 times in the past week for periods of up to 2 hours and i kept getting told that "the system shows that your device doesnt currently have a unlock code available. And, the system shows there is no date for when that unlock code will be available."
i thought this was att giving me the run around...over and over again... but apparently, after taking to three managers, and getting 2 call backs from dropped calls, theyre serious..
I am ofcourse talking about the sim unlock and not the bootloader unlock.
Carriers Put Delays on Unlock Codes
When I had my HD2 on T-Mobile, their stated policy was to require a minimum of 90 days on the account before they would provide an unlock code. After that time, I was able to get one from T-Mobile with no problem. AT&T probably has a similar policy. You might could get it early if you wanted to use the phone overseas with a local SIM.

thats the exact reason i gave them. I am going overseas and i need it unlocked. i have found that it is possible to get it sim unlocked though. just have to pay between 25-45 dollars at any site offering it. just be careful which site you want, as alot of them look.. less than dependable.
If someone successfully unlocked their Vivid from one of these website, please post the URL. Thank you.
cellunlocker.net I'm in the Army and i spoke to att and they told me the same thing about that they cant give me the unlock code or some BS. google'd and found this site and in like 20 minutes i got the email with the code. But you have to have a non att sim card to do it. thankfully my cousin has tmobile and i used his sim card.

ATT Htc Vivid
I have purchased this phone last month from someone and have tried to unlock it with the code that I purchased from website and it did not work. HOw and where do I get unlcock this phone?
Hey guys, I just picked up an htc vivid from someone on craigslist, and it is basically brand new, and simlocked. I need to be able to change the usb debugging settings in order to use the toolkit for the vivid, but I can't bypass the simunlock screen. I don't want to buy a code online, because with my htc inspire 4g, I was able to unlock it through rooting. is it possible to do this as well? I've been searching for a while, I apologize If I missed anything. Thanks a million.
Hey, dont think there is a way to unlock it through rooting .. Inspire had this option but not the vivid.. Buy a unlcok code online it doesnt cost more than 4-5$ ..

I appreciate the answer, but at the moment, i don't have any money at all. Not even $5. I'm starting a new job today, but it will be 2 weeks before I can even get it unlocked. Your sure theres no other way?
+1 for SIM unlock via root. Most of the online unlock sites seem shady.
Use Dr.unlockusa from Ebay. This is who I used and it took less than 15 minutes. The only caveat is your IMEI must start with the numbers listed in the auction title. Once you win the auction you must go to his website and submit your auction info and imei info.

I know about that thread, but if you're not S-OFF and don't want to send your IMEI to someone to unlock it, there must be a way to do it via adb or another way.
I did it on my Desire Z before and I can't see why it can't be done on the Vivid/Raider.

No, they've patched that method. Besides, giving your IMEI out isn't much of a risk.
If this was my personal phone I wouldn't care. Work phone is a different story.

lol, don't waste your time.....there's no coeds to be had for this, its predominantly locked to O2 or Vodafone, so cannot be Sim Unlocked. I've tried many times since this phone was released.
thanks. looks like no choice but to pay for it. are those paid codes via supplying your imei in the internet reliable?

Nope. You can't trust people now a days, don't risk it and waste your time.
i wouldn't even think about unlocking it. These days most people don't need to unlock them, last person i spoke to about unlocking my salsa didn't even know what it was let alone have software for them....
Internet unlocks will rip you off. I did it once on an old Nokia 5000, got the code...same as the free sites, didn't work. Couldn't get a refund either.....my advice is, want the phone sim unlocked, buy a phone on the network your on!
Problem is the fone is from a relative from abroad. Its lock to vodafone. The only carrier here in the philippines are globe, sun and smart. Thats why i need to unlock the fone. Its was recently given to me.

I want to unlock my atrix hd (at&t) to a different carrier,is yours unlocked? if so how did you do it? unlock code? some other method without using unlock code? how much did you buy the unlock code for? o;
You have to buy a code as there is no way to unlock the AHD for free. In order to enter the code, you need to be on a pure stock or close-to-pure stock rom in order to enter the unlock code.
If you're an AT&T customer, they may give you the code for free.

Ok thank you, i will probably buy an unlock code, and use stock rom,does it stay unlocked forever?
Just google your carrier and request unlock. I know At&t has an online request form to unlock the carrier . As long as you meet the requirements there is no charge for this service. Thirty minutes after submitting the request At&t sent me the unlock code. T-mobile I'd imagine would do the same.
As for your other question, I am curious too. I just reverted my phone back to stock At&t. Got to find someone with a non At&t SIM to see if my phone is still carrier unlocked. I say it is.
The phone will be unlocked forever. I have never seen or read a post where a phone became carrier locked after being unlocked by entering a code.
If you purchased a used phone, put in a non-ATT sim after reverting to a stock rom to make sure you receive a prompt to enter your network unlock code. If you are on stock and don't the prompt, the phone maybe be hard locked to ATT and there is very little an end user can do to unlock the phone.
bought it on ebay... better pay with then than some random website with your CC info.
I haven't used this service but I've seen it referenced several times here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_668wt_1121
What's interesting is that the MB886 isn't listed as one of the phones, yet people say it has worked.
I will try that, feel much safer then random website that I don't know if they are safe.

Follow the below link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk
Your device is unlocked!!!
That will unlock the bootloader but I don't think it sim unlocks it also? My phone came sim unlocked but with past phones unlocking the bootloader never sim unlocked my phones. After unlocking the bootloader google these two words "sieempi wonderhowto" and the first hit should be a guide to show you how to sim unlock. Sorry I can't post links as this is my first post ever.
If that still fails to sim unlock your phone all isn't lost yet. To use that method you have to S-Off your phone and if your phone is S-Off than your other option would be to run a T-Mobile RUU. You would be stuck having to run a T Mobile rom but at least you could use your phone.
I would also contact HTC because it sounds very odd they would send you a AT&T phone if you sent them a T Mobile phone to be fixed. Maybe they sent you the wrong phone?
A new thread might show up in a few days from a AT&T customer saying HTC repaired their phone but sent them back a T Mobile instead
