I have a T Mobile HTC HD7. Can anyone suggest where I can get it unlocked at a reasonable price?
T-Mobile will give you the code for free, just ask.
I spoke with tmobile about the unlock code. Is it just to unlock to use any sim or will it unlock the phone to use with the new windows phone tool they have out now. I try to use the tool now and it says phone is locked, will this code unlock it. Thanks

The unlock code from T-mobile will only SIM unlock the phone (you can use with any carrier that has SIM cards).
To dev unlock the phone, you can register on create.msdn.com and use the tool there, or use something like ChevronWP7.
it is possible to obtain the unlock code of the bootloader with an unlocked bootloader
i have this phone since launch and obtain my unlock code from huawei site, but since last update C432/152 GPU turbo th unlock code not working anymore
I know I can't root a US/Canada version of the Galaxy S10 but would it be possible to do so using a tool like this one?
Not sure what you're asking. Are you looking to SIM unlock the device or unlock the bootloader?
There's plenty of ways to SIM unlock the phone without spending $150. As for bootloader unlocking, no. No you can't.
I have a P9 (EVA-L09) branded to 3Ireland. I asked the service provider for the unlock code and got this:
Hi there,
Thanks for your recent unlock code request.
Below is the unlock code for Huawei IMEI 862836031485752.
Your unlock code is 1738262161041091. Please find instructions to unlocking your phone or modem below.
So I put a vodafone SIM in the p9 and it asked for the unlock code which I entered. My vodafone SIM works fine so the P9 is SIM unlocked.
With a view to installing LineageOS, I enabled Developer Options, Enabled OEM unlock and USB debugging. I then powered off the phone.
Holding the Vol Down button, I inserted the USB cable and the P9 restarted in Fastboot&Recovery Mode.
However, it says, in green, Phone Locked, and, in red, FRP Unlock.
I guess I have to unlock it to install TWRP but how do I proceed?
TIA

You mean your mobile service provider?
If so, they gave you SIM unlock code to make your phone open for SIM cards from other operators
But that has nothing with the unlocking the Bootloader - what you see in Fastboot and what you need for flashing is about unlocking the Bootloader
Operators don't provide/sell the codes to unlock Bootloaders - rooting, custom ROMs are not in their interest
In the old days, Huawei provided (for free) Bootloader codes. They stopped and for the new phones made it really hard to unlock the Bootloaders, for some even impossible (at least, yet)
For the old P9 you can still buy a code from e.g. DC Unlocker (use Google)
But then, be careful, read the guides first - this mistake with buying a wrong code was benign while flashing an interviewcompatible ROM can brick your phone.
E.g., you are most likely on EMUI 5, and you cannot use any GSI ROM but only ROMs that were ported and adapted for P9, EMUI 5 ( Nougat firmwares). Also, if the ROM instructions say it is for P9 but EMUI 8, it is not for your phone (unless you rebrand and upgrade to Chinese EMUI 8)
It's not, take any AOSP or GSI ROM from elsewhere and flash to Huawei. If you are new in the game, go to the P9 Custom ROMs section here on XDA and read the OP posts to make sure you fullfil the requirements before you flash.
Be aware that most of those threads are 'dead' - early flashoholics long ago moved to the newer phones. Few remaining who stayed with P9 (usually as a second phone), upgraded to Chinese EMUI 8 (Oreo), and you can find them only in the few still active threads. Be careful and good luck
You can get one using dc unlocker for 4 euros. Just jut it down upon getting it. From there its smooth sailing on TWRP. You have to reinstall twrp from time to time if you are on stock though
@zgfg, I greatly appreciate the clear and comprehensive explanation. Very helpful.
@Bill, 4€ is a reasonable price to pay for an old phone.
Thanks you!
I have been trying to contact DC-unlocker to get some information but they are not providing me with much,
Ii have p30 pro VOG-L29
They told me I have to downgrade to android 9 to unlock BL but if I upgrade it will relock I asked them if I get the BL code I can unlock it again they said yes if my phone allow it
Did anyone tried thier app, do i get the BL code? How can I know if my phone support unlock on higher FM?
