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..............

Hi you can unlock your mobile by unlock codes and for codes you can try Mobileunlocksolutions and get codes to unlock your mobile..

Hy guys,
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

[Q]

Hi all,
thinking of buying the onex in Australia.. the phone is locked to Vodafone, but i am a telstra user.. does anyone know if the one x will work properly on the telstra 3g network at 850mhz once unlocked from vodafone??
Also is it hard to do a rom flash ,as i havent been able to do this on an android phone(not real tech savvy) as i would like to remove any "inbuilt" vodafone apps/links/features from the phone completely!!

Yes. Provided your phone is not sim locked.

Im being told that it isnt sim locked by person selling to me!!
some will say all sorts just to get a sale!!

I'm using an HTC One X from Optus and it works great on Telstra. I'm not sure if Vodafone sells them unlocked but I believe you can get them unlocked by Vodafone.
Got mine from Allphones.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yep, buy outright (SIM unlocked) and you'll be sweet.
I also bought at AllPhones and am running LiveConnected (cos Telstra bite big time ). I still get the Optus boot screen, but it's not a big deal, only pops up for a second.

Can't you unlock it on www.htcdev.com?

I don't think he means the bootloader, I think his handset is carrier branded.
I'm not too sure on how to do it myself, if there is a way I think Mike1986 or Football might know.

I got my branded hox unlocked by http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/ it cost £11.99 and took 20 mins

Plus if we had the xtc clip & Goldcard we'd have achieved S-off by now...

Ring T mobile and request an unlock code, I don't think they can refuse by law, they will charge you around 15 quid.

1. Is your bootloader unlocked?
2. Are u running a custom rom?
If you have even 1 of these as fare as I'm aware u have to be on stock for the unlock to work. espeshaly if your getting the same code time and time again.

Here many services are available to unlock your HTC one x.You can get the unlock code from the site Simpleunlocking.com here they ask your phone's IMEI number.If you give them,then they deliver unlock code to you. You can unblock your phone by using this unlock code.

If you on contract with them it's free and even if your on pay as you go its free. You can use any website to get an unlock code and use that as well.
I re locked my bootloader as it wouldn't let me do it unlocked and custom

Are you sure it's free on Three? Every time I've asked them, they've quoted £15.32 in store and through phone calls to unlock. And the only info I can find on the website, claims pretty much the same: http://support.three.co.uk/srvs/cgi...sername=Mobile:mobileUser?s_search=helpsearch
Probably would be cheaper from somewhere else though.

It would be a lot cheaper elsewhere but I know they had to give my sister an unlock code for the i9000. But I'm sure I read somewhere as well in the UK there not aloud to sell simlocked phone but if they do there abliged to give you the unlock code.
Best thing to do is check citizens advice website if you don't want to pay for it to see if the info is true. I only heard it through the grapevine, but what's £3-5 to get an unlock code its a lot cheaper than i****e unlock cides

HTC ONE X Unlock Network Code ? not work

I bought a Sim network unlock code on ebay, 3 times, I got the same at all three of the seller, but dont work
What could be the problem???

1. - You're getting scammed
2. - Seller has bad/not working codes and is unaware of this
3. - You bought the wrong item
4. - For some reason they don't work because of something with your phone
5. - You're doing it wrong
6. - If it's none of those, blame unicorns. Always blame unicorns.
It's generally not the best idea to try it thrice with the same seller unless you're really confident they're reliable.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
Are you running a custom ROM?
If you have 1 or both the unlock code won't work you need to o it on factory ruu as fare as I'm aware as it worked for me

Well at least you got your cash back. I think the best thing to do is to call your carrier and ask them to send you the code.
If it matches to the ones you got fro. I ebay then it norows it down to the phone and you can take it from there

T-Mobile Montenegro provider changes the codes on these phones therefore the codes from the HTC database is wrong.
This is not just with t-mob mont there are so many other networks like portuguese networks, t-mob croatia, voda and orange romania etc..
if the providers change the code, then cable is the only way to unlock these phones.

The same problem whats the solution

That's the solution, go to service center and pay for unlock, thay will hook up the cable and unlock your phone.

This is pretty standard, my HTC Sensation wasn't locked and neither is my One X. Tends to be mainly PAYG stuff & iphones which are locked, although stock can be taken from contract and sold for PAYG from time to time as well

I got a HOX on Voda no bloatware my wife got one too and hers has the Voda craps on it.

When i first got the phone had all of vodafones crap on it but a custom rom solved that problem and i have a voda cid as well just thought it would of been locked to vodafone

Vodafone and orange don't sim lock their phones anymore but still come with all the crap on them though

Here in Germany, I haven't experienced sim lock on contract phones except t mobile. O2, Vodafone, eplus, all they give unlocked phone with bloatware.
P. S. If your phone would be simlocked, you won't be able to unlock it flashing custom Rom. So it was apparently unlocked

To sum it up, if you get the phone direct from Vodafone it will more than likely be branded which means it will have their Crap on it and you will have to wait for their updates if the h-boot needs updating but it will be SIM unlocked so you can use any SIM.
