How to unlock HTC Desire HD?

Hy, is there any 100% way to unlock this phone?

Yes. But you need to meet a certain prerequisite.
i.e,
HTC Firmware <= 2.37

Try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Read first post and Q&A in the second post, there are links to downgrading your rom and tools for rooting.
Alternatively you can try this AllInOne tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315.

So this Radio S-OFF tool is for unlocking?

Yes, but only part of unlocking. Not all of it. First you need downgrade, then Radio S-OFF, and finally Eng S-OFF.

Thank you. Is there a tutorials for downgrade?
I have Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050.

Is there a code for simlock check? Like Galaxy Ace.. *#7465625#

I see that my phone is already S-OFF (ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF)
Android version 2.3.3, Basebamd version 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_m and Kernel version 2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050, BUILD GRI40
I tried this tool:

Okay, please do check again the steps provided. You may have missed something. Do you have reapplied temp and permroot using visionary? Most people forgot that rooting is required again after flashing stock 1.32. 2nd, check the radio s-off status, cid state, pc software requirement and other stated in the radio s-off guide. Btw, what's your current radio?

hi,
yes of course you can try for remote unlocking method either through the network provider or 3rd parties such as Theunlockarena.com/htc-desire-hd/rs13wp9/ to unlock your HTC desire HD.its simple process.they'll do unlock remotely and after that give you instructions to follow.you just need to do is give your model,network,IMEI number to them that's all..

yes i also followed the same procedure n got everything right.... First radio s - off then Eng off and also the super CID but for some reason i still cant use other networks.... any ideas what i am doing wrong... or any suggestions.. thnx. or any other method of unlocking the sim,,

[Official Unlocking Bootloader] HBOOT HTC Desire

HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC Desire:
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9940000_BravoC_S-RUU_Alltel_UTSI_001-27_hboot_1.09.exe
http://www.htcdev.com/ruu/PB9940000_BravoC_S-RUU_UTSI_028-47_hboot_1.09.exe
After this you must reboot in FastBoot Mode and type in Command Prompt: fastboot oem get_identifier_tokenSubmit
Then submit the token in order to receive your unlock code binary file...
When copying the token, start with this line:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
And end with this line:
<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>
The difference with the official way is that you only unlock the bootloader. You don't get S-OFF so you can't make changes 'on the fly' with Android running, you'd need to do changes with the phone in HBOOT/fastboot mode.

Hi,
thanks man. I'll have a good play with this later today.

If you are using AlphaRev's HBOOT, you should flash downgrade hboot first to be able to flash any other hboot...

I tried this last night but when I tried to flash the unlock binary file it just sat there then came up failed.

it's what I was thinking, what's the point of unlocking it with this.. and if you do that I bet you won't be able to flash an alpharev hboot since you can't roll back hboot version, and running revolutionary won't work since it's different hboot version.
That's my hypothesis on this anyway.

Yup. Correct. Unless you flash a hexedited version of this hboot, which has the version downgraded. Any guineapigs? It's useless, unless you plan to retain HTC's stock recovery to flash custom roms. Which again is useless..

Including me.. There's no way to be completely sure that the hexedited portion is the correct bit which decides the version. I flashed a hexedited hboot onto my device, and it did downgrade the version number displayed on the hboot screen, but that does not mean the version lock happens there.
But for fun, you can change the bit that says Alpharev/Revolutionary to whatever you like.

Do global HTC One X's come with S-OFF?

I have owned an HTC Incredible and an HTC Rezound in the past, and I'm fairly certain they came with S-ON. (I have also owned about every Samsung phone in existence, its just my HTC expertise is limited).
Well, I didn't want the AT&T version of the HTC because I really like the Tegra3. So I got a Global Unlocked HTC One X. Great phone...but when I went to do the whole unlocking & rooting business I found this:

Is this normal? Someone on reddit told me to post here asking, as I might get a better response.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: If anyone is wondering, the only thing I have done is fastboot oem unlock, fastboot CWM install, and then SuperSU flash via CWM. I'm still running stock ROM.

Well before it was LOCKED and S-OFF. And I don't think I could have pushed a fastboot CWM in that locked state?
Now its Unlocked and S-OFF with a CWM recovery.

Yes you could've pushed it via an ZIP file using HBOOT so you've let HTC know for no reason
EDIT: You didn't go via HTCDev, you just ran 'fastboot oem unlock' and that was it? In which case HTC won't know and you're in a VERY good situation

Where did you buy your phone from? I got mine from Handtec and it's a S-ON

If your s-off, it doesn't matter if it says locked as all security is open, you can flash roms radios and recovery, even if it says locked in bootloader.
Mine says locked in hboot but I can do whatever I want cause I have s-off.

hey guys i wanted to mention i do have emmc support now. For newer devices its honestly going to be way easier to just get soff as the partiton with unlock is the same as soff, and its relatively inaccessable.

I know that. But fastboot commands get disabled. Flashing a recovery can be easier that way.

Bootloaders 1.09.0000 and 1.10.0001 are also unlockable. They are for Marvelc.

unlock now or wait for s-off?

Hi,
I want to root my device, but I'm a little bit afraid of the "relocked"-problem. Also I need to flash the boot.img manually.
So my question is, if I unlock now and someone figures out, how to s-off, do I still have to flash the boot.img manually with s-off after unlock via htcdev? And does s-off includes the possibility of full-relocking the bootloader and if yes, is this possibility also given, when I would s-off after htcdev?
Thanks,
me113

Just unlock now . It's most probably that HTC One X / X+ won't get S-Off ... It's been discussed for more than half a year and no one's figured it out or should we say unable to S-Off ...

You can still do S-Off after you've unlocked . No disadvantages , only advantages .

Thanks for your advice. But I've read in a thread about a HTC Flyer-Rom:
if you used HTC Unlock and S-OFF'd using that, you ALWAYS need to flash new boot.img manually

I'm a little bit confused now. I thought s-off from stock and s-off after htcdev is the same. So I have to flash the boot.img forever manually, if I unlocked via htcdev?!

Let's clear something up about this, s-off is still impossible for the time being ! Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone back to factory state but you do NOT have to flash a new boot.img, it works as normal after unlocking the bootloader !
If you flash a custom rom you have to flash the boot.img from that rom with a tool or manually with fastboot commands because we don't have S-OFF !

Yeah, but if someone achieves S-OFF, I don't have to flash it manually any longer?

That's right ! But don't get your hopes up on that, people are trying it already for over 6 months .... my guess it's not going to happen, and i don't mind either because now the phone is almost unbrickable ! And flashing the boot.img manually takes like 20 seconds .....

Ok, great. Thanks for your answer!
Will unlock now. :victory:
