Hi, I’ve been struggling to remove the simlock on an HTC Desire that was locked and branded by Tmobile (UK). The unlock code that I bought was accepted by the phone but there was no second request (I believe that the desire should ask twice for the unlock code). Since then I’ve had no network unless a tmobile sim is inserted. The phone hasn't asked for the code again.
Things I’ve tried:
DEBRANDING: I made a goldcard and flashed a stock froyo ROM as it was suggested that this process would remove the simlock as long as I remoed my sim during it. (http://www.broadbandgenie.co.uk/blog/20100822-how-debrand-htc-desire-update-froy)
ROUTING
I’ve routed (Unrevoked3) and flashed a custom ROM (Leedroid 2.2f)
S-OFF
I’ve achieved S-off (AlphaRev) (but not Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and SimUnlock)
Everything went to plan, but still no network!
I’m not unique in experiencing this problem with a tmobile branded HTC Android phone.
There seems to be a fix for the Dezire Z/G2/DHD (easy full Root, S-OFF, SuperCID AND SIM UNLOCK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857390 using Gfree
This fix for the Desire HD: One click Radio S-OFF, SuperCID, SimUnlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537)
But nothing for the Desire!
HELP!! I’m exhausted and have run out of ideas.

Any advice would be most gratefully received!
wow, it sounds like you've tried almost everything...!
I had the same problem and called customer services (150) and told them I was going abroad for a few weeks and wanted to use a local simcard and they gave me a code to unlock the sim (free of charge) now I can use any simcard, virgin, orange o2 etc etc....good luck..!
That was my first step, but the code didn't sim unlock despite the phone telling me that it was the right one! Still locked to Tmobile but I guess I know more about Android than I did a week ago.
Same issue
Hi, I've got the same issue with my Desire...
The phone was locked with one operator in the UK, I then unlocked it but since then, I can not access any networks and I'm stuck...
Any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hi there, would like to ask if i should just unlock bootloader and root via recovery now, or wait for a temproot that works for the international model and than S-OFF as weaksauce doesnt work for the international model at the moment. Is there any news on when the international model will be getting an update in weaksauce?
Yes you have to be bootloader unlocked and rooted so may as well get that done and some people on international havesS-OFF
But not me
HI guys

I am working on another M8 HK edition but it not work.

The second M8 I got OTA update(1.54.654.9 to 1.54.654.13) and not wipe.
Is this the problem?
Another question is I just want SIM unlock that I can use Taiwan carrier.
I don't mind use stock rom.
Is there any method that I can unlock SIM card without s-off ?

SIM unlock without s-off is only possible via the carrier.
If you want s-off you can use sunshine !
