Hi there,

Thanks in advance!

Well, I am actually a bit confused now!
I read something some time ago (I think on the htcsensationforum) that if you change the phone's network settings to GSM (only), then turn off the phone and insert a different SIM, it would work. So, my phone it's eMobile branded and after following those steps, I was able to receive a call on my phone with a another SIM from Three (different provider).
If it worked with Three network, it should work with all the others :fingers-crossed:
I wonder if anyone else has also tried that.

hmmm. dunno cuz every1 i know have unlocked phone.
I agree with stona175 on that. I know it is hard these days unlocked phone and pay in cash. But there are so many mobile stores, specialy on the "Island" where you can get sim unlock for 20-30 pounds.......you should try that

Three is ONLY wcdma network based. or there something is totaly changed.
In UK is verry simple 1.19 punds on ebay and HTC unlocked in 5 minutes from buying code. I have unlocked 2 sxl, 1 One X and 1 One S - simple, cheap and quick. I recommend seller "phone.market" i unlocked from those guys- their system is automated and u get code in couple seconds in your email.

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

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
hey guys i bought my incs on ebay saying it was unlocked. However, because its ebay i would just like to double check it before i leave overseas. Now im going to china for a holiday, so i cant just take out my current sim and put in a chinese one as I don't have one yet. So my question is is there a program or something in the hboot etc that I can check with?
thanks
Just try a friends sim from another provider or something...

You should try 2 different SIMS from 2 different carriers on your phone. That way you will know for sure that your phone is carrier unlocked.
A friend of mine lost his sensation XL and phoned up his phone company to have the phone locked, after doing this he found his phone ... is there any way to un-bar the phone quickly? The bootloader is already unlocked im wondering if flashing a custom ROM onto the phone would work .. although i doubt that, Does anyone know a quick easy method to unbar/unblock the phone?
Thanks in advance.

If he has reported it stolen and received a replacement/refund. The phone is now owned by the insurance company and any attempt to unbar it is fraud. If he hasnt received a replacement, he can unbar it by calling his network provider.

I've had about 3 different HD7's now and they are easily my favorite phone but, they all have had a similar problem. They always reboot randomly. Sometimes it's when I plug them in and they restart whenever they feel like it. Sometimes I'll be using it and sometimes it will just be sitting there doing nothing. Two of them were not rooted, running stock. My latest one has been rooting and is running the "Dynamics 2.0" ROM. Any idea on what this might be? Thanks!
Same problem... but solved...
But give me more details, I have a HD7 T-Mobile, and this happens because of the SIM card, if your phone is a T-Mobile... are you using a Non TMo SIM? my HD7 only reboots at random when I use a SIM other than a 1900MHz, the same frequency that T-Mobile uses, of course they work when some condition happen... They only work when I use a Pre-NODO ROM, once I get Mango, BOOM! reboots again.
This is my case, of course I put a SIM that belongs to a carrier that uses 1900MHz and no problem with mango, no reboots or anything.
I'm here to help, just give me more info...
Sorry I'm not very good with details, but yes it's a T-Mobile SIM.

I "fixed" this issue when I disassemble the HD7 to remove and installed a 4GB class 6 microSD, I tested and didn't reboot for the whole day...
Then I put back the 16GB class 4 (the stock memory) and no reboots after that... I wonder if it was the memory that was "loose".
I hope this works for you.
Now the HD7 is with my father, and he enjoys the HD7 music player...
Hello everyone,
Although I found lots of similar posts, I couldn't find solution for problem I have. Last year I bought HTC Raider (originaly on Rogers) on e-bay. Phone was unlocked, my SIM card (provider is Tele2 Croatia) worked perfectly in it. January 10th this year I've changed provider to T-mobile Croatia and when I tried to use their SIM card - my phone is constantly rebooting. It is not rooted or using custom ROM or anything like that. I've tried to contact HTC services in Croatia but their answer is that they cannot help me because HTC Raider is not sold in Europe. I am really stuck here, so you guys are my last hope. I am willing to donate money to anyone who can give me solution which works.
Thanks.
If you take out the sim card (or use the old sim card) and turn the phone on, does it work normally? If so, i'm more confused. Otherwise, your boot partition might have gotten messed up somehow, in which case you would either want to re-flash the boot.IMG from the stock ROM, or use htc's RUU (try that first).

If I use old sim card everything is fine. Meanwhile, I did S-off, root and put Holics ROM, but same thing happens. What I have noticed, when old sim card is inside, preferred network is set on GSM/WDCMA/LTE, somehow I managed to open phone info with T-mobile sim inserted and preferred network was set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto. I couldn't change that manually because there is not enough time between resets.

OK... You somehow have a radio issue... Your Sim card seems to think its for a different style phone...
Methinks you should ask T-Mobile why your Sim card is doing that...
This phone is for GSM networks...
You may have to tell them that...

Ok, today I went to T-mobile and told them that. Their explanation was that problem is in the phone, not in SIM card. They said other providers in Croatia don't have 4g network and they do. Essentially they said there is nothing they can do about it. My last option is to ask is it possible to remove CDMA from phone completely by deleting files or something like that?

OK, problem is solved. What I did:
Installed wahjee desensed rom - phone was still rebooting with t-mobile sim
I was ready to give up so I did oem lock and installed stock rom through sd card so I can sell it...
Then I decided to try just once more and inserted t-mobile sim... And voila! It works... Perfectly. No reboots any more... Now I'm really confused... But I don't care... As long as it works )

Huh! Well good for you! If you ever install another rom on there, let us know if the same thing happens again (or of it doesn't).
