I'm sorry to have to be the one who says this but... you can't unlock the phone meant as debrand it... this could be done just with s-off, wich can't be achieved yet... (if you are very lucky and have an s-off shipped device then you can do it)
Well no you cant S-Off the device ..... but, i am hearing things that you can buy carrier unlock codes on eBay ... don't know exactly how it works. Just giving some info that might get you on the right path
But if you only want it to be used on a different carrier SIM, it is possible. Theres dozens of businesses offering sim unlock codes, even the carriers themselves, for a fee.
So ask Orange or try something like this.

Hi there, i just bought an htc desire from ebay but it comes locked to orange network, but since is now mine i would like to unlock it to any network... does anyone ever done this? Can you please share a solution... many thanks

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

Hi people.
Just bought myself a HTC One X locked onto T-Mobile network.
I want to use it on Orange UK.
Anyone know if the SIM unlock codes are available?
Every site I go to advise me that the codes aren't available yet.
Is there another way of being able to use my orange SIM with the HTC One X?
Thanks
There are people selling the codes on Ebay, and there is a Tread (closed though) of people who have successfully used these services: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613613&highlight=unlock+code
Check ebay though as they are some for as cheap as £4.
Nice one gaiden, I'll give it a go.
Thanks for help.
A novice like me needs all that I can get!!
Aaaah, just realised why I'm struggling. Apparently the phone has to be at least one month old for IMEI to be registered on server. That means the waiting game......
Cant you just phone tMobile and ask them for a subsidy pin ?
ermmm tmobile and orange are the same company.... is the card being rejected out right?, i can switch between orange and tmobile with no problems with my tmobile card, and my wife has a locked wildfire s to tmobile that happily runs a orange card.
Yeah tmo and orange are now the same network. You shouldnt need to unlock for this.

That is the exact reason why I bought the phone, thinking Orange & T-Mobile have merged into one.
The thing is they share their network coverage but they are still two seperate companies.This was confirmed by Orange UK. And T-Mobile won't deal with me because I don't have an account with them.
So I need to find someone who does have one, or set one up (which I don't want to do).
All the official HTC Unlock sites don't seem to have code available and give me a refund straight away. I'm going to try a couple from EBay this morning to see if they're any better.

T-Mobile will only unlock a handset that is registered to the account. I.e purchased with the number at the same time, as imei's are linked.

What method did you try ?
the ebay unlocking method worked fine for my t-mobile phone,
Unlock codes!?
Am I missing something,
If you flash an RUU rom surely that will unlock it?
I presume using Ebay Unlocking techniques also risk voiding warrenty?

Flashing a custom ROM does NOT SIM unlock the phone. Unlike unlocking/rooting, SIM unlocking does not void your warranty.
I've used HTC SIM Unlock before and they always been to work. They have a money back guarantee as well. Never trust those unlockers on eBay. I've been scammed too many times. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1
Your other option could be to get a PAYG sim card and call them from that. They might unlock it for you as you would have an account with them then?
I never thought of that, ie, getting a PAYG SIM card. Should have done that! Anyways, after many unsuccessful attempts in getting the phone unlocked (the number of refunds I got on my Paypal, I had numerous security checks on my card!), I eventually got hold of the person I bought the phone off. He's kindly got in touch with T-Mobile UK, and for £15-32, they'll unlock it for me. It will take between 10-28 days, so I'm expecting it to come through some time this week at the earliest. I know it may be dear, but I also know they will be able to unlock it, as its their network.
Anyways, thanks for all the help guys!
I just unlocked my one x at unlockcode4u.com and as I made a video they just refunded me, so eventually I didnt pay anything.
My HTC one X is the best phone ever
Hello,
Going through all the threads possible on the forum, I try to understand why I cannot use another SIM than the original one.
I am a lucky guy having an S-OFF HoX, that I bought second hand through internet.
I am ready to help the teams getting whatever internal information they need. In return I would like the phone to work on Amy other network.
I bought an unlock code that didn't seem to work, tried to buy other one from 2 companies who gave me the same. So they didn't make me pay. I guess I have the right one...
Can you help?

Okay, so here's the story. Fed up with my One V and needed to upgrade. Found a faulty One X on ebay, bought it for £110 or so thinking I could fix it. I couldn't. Rooting didn't help, was a hardware issue. Came on here and apparently only option is to send it back. Turns out the phone is still under warranty (well, if it wasn't rooted). Reflash to stock, send it to HTC (no proof of purchase!) and today I received it back! Good as new, and they even chucked in a free pair of headphones because it took them so long! So yeah, HTC rock.
Only issue is it's locked to a network because the ebay seller was a moron and listed it wrong/incorrectly. I tried 2 unlocking sites already but no luck, anyone have a link to one that they've used that worked? Ideally I'd like to do it via internet but I guess I'll take it to a shop and see if they can if its required.
Glad to hear that someone (else than myself) has good experience with the HTC Support!

As far as I know, it doesn't. On some mobile phones you can pretty easily network unlock your device when having root acces (by looking for some kind of code in a file that's in your root folder), but rooting doesn't do this automatically.
What's your carrier? From what I have read here on xda, if I'm not wrong, orange and Vodafone have changed the unlock codes and the codes from internet don't work. I'm on tmobike and I unlocked my phone to any network from online site without any problem.

To what network is your phone locked and will let you know for sure if it can be unlocked by code or not. As an alternative one x now can be unlock by cable ,so probably some unlock shops can do that for you also
ok so i admittedly have unlocked a desire z a while back but it was a right faff and it was a spare phone,
iv now got a brand new HTC M8
its locked to vodaphone (boo)
and has a vodaphone rom (again boo)
so iv tried to unlock the phone with a paid for code as its a lot lot easier but none off the sites seem to be able to give me a code. they just say sorry and give me my money back.
is it possible to unlock the phones sim lock without S-off?
if not, which is better, S-off or htcdev.? id really like to keep the warranty on this phone as iv got 2 years supposedly and HTC have been really good before
im assuming htc dev will void warranty's since you have to give them your phone details? is S-off detectable? can i turn it back on?
Sunshine app is 25 bucks ... But will unlock your bootloader and give you s-off, without HTC knowing about it.
That's what I did.
Then I think you can Sim unlock. I say think, cause I haven't done it with this phone.
