HTC Desire sim unlock - Desire General

Hello guys!
Has anybody news with subject?
I have bought a sim-locked phone recently and don't know, what to do with it
Please, share your experience if you have.

There are many trusted websites for unlocking your desire. Find one and check its valid. If it is they ask four your imei and some money. After a while you get your unlock code. You put the sin that the desire doesn't support in your phone and it will ask for an unlock code. Input your code and your done

Avoid the websites. I had nothing but grief with them. Simply ring the phone operator that the phone is locked to and request an unlock code. in the UK they have to give you this but will charge around £15. This is what I did with my locked to "3" Desire. Now unlocked after a 5 minute call.

I bought a desire from ebay which is unlocked (as the seller said), using an unlock code calling the operator (o3). I don't have the unlock code. Is there any possibility to be locked again after wipe?

Buy an unlock code from one of the many sellers on ebay for about 10 quid. Insert a non Orange sim in the phone and enter the unlock code when prompted, and then enter it a second time. Job done

Hi there, I too have an Orange branded Desire which I would like to get unlocked.
Could you pls tell me which service you used, and were u able to get the phone unlocked?
The only drawback to buying a phone on eBay is watch out for fraud, if they claim on their insurance saying the Desire was lost or stolen, itll get IMEI Blocked, so no matter what network its on its fooked!
there is a thread on this somewhere im sure of it

Free Unlock HTC Wildfire?

Hi guys,
I plan to buy a HTC Wildfire for my brother but unfortunately, the phone is Network Locked.
Is there any change we have a program or something that would unlock it for free?
I really don't trust the sites a la : www.unlockyourphone.com ... and Vodafone won't unlock it for free.
Thanks and really looking for an answer.
Best Regards,
DH
I bought mine from Vodafone and they unlocked it for free, on the spot. I did not extend my contract with them, I just bought the phone.
P.S: I`m from Romania.

If u are in the uk, get it from somewhere like carphone (all their phones are unlocked and debranded) or sim free from expansys
Did you manage to unlock your phone? I also have a Vodafone romania locked wildfire and don't know what to do about it. Thanks.
Vodafone unlock contract sims for free.
Will only unlock free paygo if the older than 1 year.
You'll have to pay.
I used htccode. No problems.

I am with Vodafone on 30 days contract sim only and I bought my wildfire on pay as you go. I phoned customer services and they unlocked for me free of charge.

Free Unlocking is not possible to get for the Latest Phones,So i suggest you to get the paid unlock code to unlock the Phone from Network lock,that is best than using the Unlocking programs and software......You can get the Unlock code from here
Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock this is trust-able source..............

First time writing on the forum. I'm from Romania and i have an HTC wildfire locked on vodafone .
I bouught a code from gsmliberty.net...and and and..nope it didn't work...i spent last 3 days chating with them and leaving tickets to the suport team but not any luck iuntill now.
The thind is that after i insert the unlock code under the sim unlock pin message ..it apears an error message that says "incorrect password".
Now..i'ce checked the security under settings and deselect every password that i found including here SIM pass , unlock password , unlock path...everithing i could...but still nothing
Could enyone give me a piece of advice ?
Thank's in advance
For now i cannot say "Sent from my HTC Wildfire"

Complete lie. Both the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire Z can be sim unlocked for free.
Its a shame noone has dedicated some time as there problably is a free way for the Wildfire as well.
We need a version for wildfire
there is a tool "Universal sim unlock for S-off’ed HTC devices" but it doesn't work for wildfire, maybe a hope for the next future, look at sieempi dot eu blog
Doesn't the HTC dev website give you an unlock code for free?

as far as i know htc dev will only allow for custom roms to be used and custom recovery to be put on. will not remove sim lock, carriers would go nuts if it did.
Yes it says in the frequently asked questions that radio and sim lock are still locked and it will still say s on, sim lock is a carrier issue if they unlocked it carriers would kick off as they wouldn't be able to use they're branding effectively.
And radio still being locked might cause problems for cm7 users.

I heard that you could call your carrier to give you the code to unlock your phone, but 3 wouldn't do it unless the phone was on another network and I was joining them. I'm on o2 and wanted to remove 3'a Sim lock, but no joy. could have tried my carrier to.

i went to a phone unlocking shop and they did it there and then for a tenner. also, if you can get your hands on a xtc clip you can s-off and remove sim lock

Rooting a phone is not related to removing the CID-lock. You can remove the CID-lock by using an XTC-clip or by requesting a unlock code from your provider (there are also websites that offer this code for a fee - it is based of your phone's IMEI number).
Has anyone had any luck unlocking this phone from T-Mobile USA? A few websites that I've asked for codes from don't have the unlock codes yet. I'm trying to deal with T-Mobile but that is a slow go. Any other suggestions to unlock this?
Mine was locked to Three.
Using the XTC Clip both rooted my phone AND unlocked it. Just got back from using it on Albania Vodafone

[Q] please HELP!

I have recently bought an Xperia Play from a fellow XDAer through marketplace and the phone was locked to UK Virgin Mobile therefore I purchased an unlock code online so I can use my own gsm card. Problem is, after 2 and a bit more weeks when I received my unlock code it didn't work..After research I realised that my phone was Hard Locked due to many incorrect unlocking attempts. Anyone that can help me from here? How can I remove this Hard Lock? is the phone useless to me now?
Hi m8,
How many times did you enter the unlock code? are you 100% sure the code was genuine? where did you get the code from?
I'm not sure if a sim unlock could help?
And just to confirm, the Play you bought from me was working fine but was just locked to Virgin Mobile so you ordered an unlock code to unlock it for all networks?
