[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forestg83:
Hi guys!

Afret fighting two days with taking off SIMLOCK i'm kind of desperate.

Here's my story:

1) Last week i got used Desire HD with branded rom. No root, no S-OFF, simply no changes.

2) With my previous experience on Samsung i5700 i wanted to root the phone to install Jelly Bean and get rid of SIMLOCK.

3) I rooted the phone by htcdev later installed CWM and JellyTime - it all went ok. JB is fantastic, UI is smooth as never before, etc.

4) But the SIMLOCK is still here :/

So i figured out that I have to :

1) downgrade to 2.3 (done to CM7.2)

2) use AAHK to downgrade further to S-OFF, root, and to get rid of SIMLOCK.

Following the effen-manual i relocked the phone by fastboot oem lock and tried to Hack Ace.

The precedure went smoothly till it hung writing on pc and turning black dhd's display:

Radio downgrade complete - starting next process - please be patient... (full listing below)

Could you please tell me how can I remove SIMLOCK from the current state?

Result from AAHK
