Nope €22, just checked there again :)
[HD2 General] bydandie:
Ah, you need to click http://www.unlock-phone-htc.com/unlocking-htc-hd2.html to get the €22 price :shock:
[HD2 General] mskip:
Sounds good I hope they keep them unlocked when the next batch comes in from htc on 27th. Im a bit suprised as I thought vodafone always locked their devices to their network.

did htc have anything to say about the camera? Theres debates going on about it all over the place lol.
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
Arrgh.

Just filled the form in for this site, and paid my money...to find the works server came back with the code.

Just wondering if O2's codes have just been "obtained" by the servers. Had no luck, couldn't even find someone with a success story with an O2 Leo.. Now I find several reports here and other places obtaining correct codes.

My advice is to try again even if your code was not found before.. You never know your luck..

If anyone gets stuck, our server might be able to help.. Codes are a bit cheaper than the link above, but hey ho. try the cheaper ones again and see what happens.. Think you may be suprised.
[HD2 General] itoYo:
i was in contract with about 3 moths to wait!

i think they work it out on what tariff your on and how much time you have left with o2!
[HD2 General] mskip:
I have 3 months left with orange (thas when you become eligable for a free upgrade) but orange have absolutely no decent phones right now.

Ohh I forgot they just got the iphone 3gs haha ;)
[HD2 General] Bagpuss:
I'm currently evaluating the HD2 for my company, so am dealing with Vodafone Corporate and HTC directly.

From speaking with our account managers today, Vodafone appear to have no intention of branding the phone or locking it.

With regards to SIM locks, then my last four Vodafone contract handsets have all been unlocked. The PAYG phones do seem to be locked, though.

Bagpuss.
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
I requested an unlock code at 8:30pm GMT last night - no unlock code emailed yet :mad:
[HD2 General] mskip:
Thanks for the info im getting impatient to get it ordered tomorrow and start playing around with it :D
[HD2 General] mskip:
Where did you order it from?
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
The first tme was from leo.unlock-now.com whom refunded me after 48 hours apologising that a code could not be generated.

A member here rported they were sent a code within 2 hours from www.unlock-phone-online.com so I used them and am still waiting.
[HD2 General] glewis101:
HI, Just a quick update. I use this link last night and by 9am this morning i had my unlock code and it worked !!!!!!!!!!

Might be an idea to add this to the FAQs for the time being until SPL is around.

I think this shows why xda-developers is such a good forum.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Did you go through the correct link to get it for 22euros? Hopefully you will get it sometime today. Let us know :)
[HD2 General] mskip:
Well it is still only a Sim Unlock.. You cant go ahead and flash custom roms or roms from different regions, you can only use different sim cards in your phone.

The site does seem to be able to get sim unlock codes though so thats good for people who got locked phones :D
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
Hi,

Did you pay via paypal? if so can you confirm who the payment went to?

Below is an extract from my payment:

Merchant

International High Tech Consulting

webmaster@mobilinnov.fr

+33 899693233
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
@koolvin..Thats the same details I got when I tried them.. Still no code though. Heres hoping (for my sake anyway) that the code can't be found..Got my code elsewhere.

Did a lookup on the site.. The guy that owns it has some 40 other related sites too.. Don't think that there will be an issue with either the code, or an automated refund.
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
where did you get yours from then ?
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
still nothing....
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
I use my works server.. Isn't the cheapest in the world, but very rarely lets me down.

Sad thing is, after paypal charges, etc the code works out to be around £17 as opposed to £10 with our other server (which couldnt get the code).
[HD2 General] mskip:
You work for o2?
[HD2 General] axemcomp:
At 3:30pm I used the link provided by glewis, paid using Paypal which was £20.58 with euro conversion.

I received the unlock code at 3:43pm which works perfectly. I now have my Orange contract sim in my HD2 :)

Only problem is I now need to get the settings for HSPDA for Orange so I can set it up.

Thanks again.
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
today?

I wonder why I havn't got my code :mad:

Im going to open up a dispute if I dont get it by this evening - problem is that they are the only peeps that we know of that can do it.
[HD2 General] axemcomp:
Did you use the linkm provided by glewis? It doesn't ask for any network information, just the first 15 digits of the imei. Mine came up with 17 digits the last being 01 which I left off as instructed to do.

Hope you get it sorted soon mate.
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
I didnt use the hd2 specific link because it wasnt posted initially. All that was posted was : www.unlock-phone-online.com which is why I paid 32 Euro :mad:

Also with my imei I did include the 01 aspart of a 17 digit imei not 15
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
Hello, sent you a pm - can you please refund me the extra ?
[HD2 General] mskip:
It would make good business sense especially as they could potentially get ALOT of extra business through XDA :)

Maybe an XDA discount ;)
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
OO, lord no.. I work for myself. My HD2 was bought from $bay and locked to O2.. Didn't appreciate at the time what a so and so the O2 ones were. Took me 3 days of trying to get mine sorted.

I only use the works server, when there is no hardware solution..
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
who do you work for then? maybe your work can offer services to us?
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
I work for myself. The codes for HTC are normally returned to me within 10 minutes.. After 2 hours, I cancelled the request, and tried the servers that were posted on xda-dev's. They failed, so tried our other server. Then the link for the same provider that you used was posted. I used the link, then tried to stop the one I'd entered into my server.. Wouldn't let me this time, but returned my code..

I'd really rather not offer my services, basically because of the time, cost, and I have no API to let everyone DIY. I'd have to enter and return the codes manually.

What I will do though is help the odd few that really don't have luck anywhere else. I hate to see people stuck, specially when I can help..

Koolvin.. As a one off, and as you appear to be a bit stuck. I was in the same place with a rather expensive media player (rather than HTC's latest offering). P.M me your imei and I'll put it into the server if you wish..

If the code comes back, I'll have to take you on your word that you will pay for it. The price will have to be £17. Being honest here, I think this leaves me at around £1.50 in profit.

Anyone else thats after their O2 HD2 unlocking, please try elsewhere 1st.. If you are stuck, then please let me know.. Doing this to help rather than live.
[HD2 General] parasexas:
hey maybe some clever man can provide with program for unlocking. 17-20£ to pay for some number is stupid money. i see people talk but solve the problem. thats why we have this site. to help do things cheaper.

Blue skies...
[HD2 General] mskip:
This site isnt to help you do things cheaper if thats what you think you are very misguided.. its to expand the potential of your phones by providing new applications, new roms, to help with problems and give you a more enjoyable experience.

17-20£ to be able to use different sims and different carriers is a very reasonable amount. Its not even neccessary to the vast majority of people as they only use the carrier they bought their phone with.

Anyway HardSPL needs to be done before any kind of unlocking program can be done so its going to be a while yet before anything like that is offered. If you can wait then hang on for HardSPL and see what comes along with that. If you cant then pay for it.
[HD2 General] gfreek:
Guys is this site good? http://www.unlock-htc.com/EN/unlocking+HTC+Touch-HD2.php?setCurrency=GBP
[HD2 General] mskip:
Apart from selecting the wrong phone LOL (you want the HTC HD2 and NOT the HTC Touch HD2) I guess its as good as any other site and quite a bit cheaper. Plus they have a refund policy so if they cant get you the unlock code then you will get your money back :D
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
got my code and all is well ! even a partial refund :)

I reccomend this link for unlocking as it works 100%

[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
Got unlock code, would receive texts and make phone calls, but can't setup data.

T-mobile sim card in a unlocked O2 HD2.

Anybody got any advice?

Options in data connections are

IOM or O2.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Do you have a "Connection Setup" in your Start Menu, Settings, Connections (or wherever it is on WM6.5)?
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
I have settings > wireless controls > data connection

on clicking data connection I get

Country: UK

And Carrier:

IOM prepaygsm prepaygprs, postpaygsm, postpaygprs

O2 prepay gprs

There isnt t-mobile on the list.
[HD2 General] axemcomp:
You need to set it up manually mate. On the O2 HD2 there is only options for O2 contract. I was using an O2 PAYG sim before getting mine unlocked and still had to input the settings manually.

You need to go onto T-Mobile's site to get the correct settings, or give them a call.

Then on the HD2 you have to go to start, then settings, press the menu button in the lower right corner and choose advanced. In the new screen that appears choose connections and then tasks on the bottom left and you will be able to set the connection up manually. Unfortunately I am using an Orange contract sim so can't help much more with T-Mobile settings.
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
Found something else relating to a xda, which worked and I know appear to have data.

Thanks though for making look at it all again. :)
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
Cept MMS wont work, but havent worked out why yet.
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
mines O2, with this cab found on this forum..all is well with t-mobile.
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
Does that include ability to send MMS?

How do I use the cab?

Im coming from a BB.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Install it (copy the cab to your storage card and run it from your phone using a file explorer) and then run it from the control panel (settings, connections I assume as I dont have an HD2 yet). Then follow the prompts to set up the correct settings and yes it should have the settings for mms.
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
It still refuses to send MMS's.
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
Oops..My bad.. didnt read the post properly..Was on my phone on the train..

Just tried this, and all is working well.

Do this.

Install the cab I posted. Then start - settings - menu - all settings - connections - network wizard. Select UK, and T-mobile, followed by ok, then press yes, followed by restart.

start - htc messages - menu - settings - options - menu - mms server - new.

server name T-Mobile MMS

ip address 149.254.201.135

port 8080

server address http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002

Click done

make sure T-mobile MMS is highlighted. Menu set as default..

Job done.. Don't thank me..Everything, I have learned about HTC devices has been acquired here.. Thank the forum.
[HD2 General] parasexas:
yeah, probably will need to pay as need thone abroad in close future. :(
[HD2 General] mskip:
If you need it sim unlocked then use

http://www.unlock-phone-htc.com/unlocking-htc-hd2.html

They usually send you the unlock code within a few hours, a few people have used them so we know they are good and its 22euros.
[HD2 General] Martyn Day:
dont buy any o2 phone off ebay for more then £360, since thats how much o2 sell them for out of contract....

regards :)
[HD2 General] cmonex:
mhm, when our (OliNex) sim unlocker comes out, it'll work for all leos (no code needed) :D
[HD2 General] mskip:
Sounds great even though I think vodafone HD's arent unlocked it will be a releif for other members :D

Any progress been made on HardSPL yet? You can collect a good bounty when thats finally done lol and I know the chefs are getting fidgety :p

yep tired it on saturday and got the code in less than 2 hours.. now have my vodafone sim in my 02 HD2.. [vodafone ran out and i could not wait :-)]
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
On the coach I was on for a trip away, I found that menu, was gonna look up the settings.

It sent successfully, so thanks to you for the settings, and confirming thats what I need to do, and thanks to the forum! :)

Alls working good, might hold off moving to O2 and not paying over £200 ETF.
[HD2 General] Jmarley:
That theme is not wallpaper, You get it by turning off the HTC sense in your today settings
[HD2 General] Savag3Vim:
HD2 on o2

Can any of you guys tell me how you got your hd2 from o2?

I'm in england and i don't even see hd2 on o2.co.uk.
[HD2 General] mndl632:
not got my hd2 yet but most people getting it from o2 are ringing up to get it, although it is also available in some stores. don't bother with the website, it's very poor when it comes to putting up new phones
[HD2 General] Lord Buckingham:
Not quite true, save the image and set it as the home wallpaper and lock screen wallpaper and that will do it.

Cheers

LB
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
I bought my HD2 from ebay.

But its true, its not on the website yet, only stores and by calling their sales number can you get it.

Which slightly sucks if you want one of their exclusive online tariffs.
[HD2 General] stua1167:
Thanks, thats exactly what I was after.

:):) :):) :):)

unlock code

Hi everyone, i had ordered the code from http://www.unlock-phone-htc.com/unlocking-htc-hd2.html as well few hours ago. cost me 22 euro. Waiting for the code now. Hopefully it works!
[HD2 General] rahularora1:
hi guys, i have tried to unlock my o2 variant twice now without any luck, submittedthe request to http://www.unlock-phone-htc.com/unlocking-htc-hd2.html late last night, hopefully this works... the other two guys (off ebay) whom i have used before to unlock my hero and blackberries, said the code isnt in the database...? i really hope im not stuck with a £500 media player :-(
[HD2 General] acwc:
Hi..i got the code from there this morning (i ordered last night). and now my HD2 is unlocked!! good luck
[HD2 General] rahularora1:
still waiting for the unlock code... from previous user experience does it take this long?
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
From that site.

I submitted mine 10 minutes after my phone arrived, spent about 30 on the pc.

went to go back to bed around 8am, and had an email on my BB from them with the unlock code.

However, at the time I didnt open it, and opened it on my pc 2 hours later.

But it took about 30 minutes for mine to come through on that site.
[HD2 General] rahularora1:
argggghhh sorry to be a pain but i still havent heard back from those guys, ive sent an email and a pm to the owner of the site who posted here but no response... ive tried so many people but have been told that its not in the database... is this phone unlockable?!

Please help! i dont mind paying whatever the price is to get it unlocked but really need it! do you guys think the turbo sim option will work?
[HD2 General] mjjiva:
I have a vodafone hd2 and trying to put an o2 sim in everything works apart from the internet. only have the o2 in the drop down menu and no o2 payg option. is there a cab file i can put on so the o2 payg option appears:confused:

please help
[HD2 General] wiltonson:
hi has anyone received their unlock code from o2 yet? I'm still waiting to unlock my HD2
[HD2 General] itoYo:
wiltonson,

No not yet! filled the online form ages ago, must be a couple of weeks now ! still not heard from em
[HD2 General] wiltonson:
i think mine is over 2 weeks ago now. darn it!
[HD2 General] wbaehr7370:
no sim free only means to o2 sold without a sim it is lock to o2...i work for o2 and if u buy a sim free hd2/leo there is no return policy
[HD2 General] triniboi:
What's the cost for the handset only at o2? Cheers
[HD2 General] itoYo:
price for a sim free HD2 from O2 varies! i was offered mine for £360 there is another poster on this thread who says he got his for £280. I dont know why that is, they must take into account your tarrif and contract time ect
[HD2 General] sattie_c:
Are O2 really providing free unlocking codes????

I phoned O2 customer services today and was advised they are not unlocking the hd2 for free.
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
I recieved the unlock code today from o2, it worked.

I did it online via the form and I only just got it today. Took a month maybe.

Try the form out and be patient.
[HD2 General] mndl632:
it does say it can take around 28 days, so if you don't mind waiting it's probably worth doing it through o2, just out of curiousity what were the instructions for unlocking it, was it done through a code or something.
[HD2 General] wiltonson:
how did you fill in your imei number? because they emailed me saying the imei code i provide is invalid.
[HD2 General] TartanArmy:
Got mine aswell.

Nice one o2:D
[HD2 General] TartanArmy:
oops double post

Mods please delete
[HD2 General] ohmz55:
i filled in the form about 3weeks ago and got my unlock code from O2 by email today.

The way they ask you to unlock it is to put in another sim (not O2) and the phone asks for an unlocking code. Type the code in and it gives you a message about phone being unlocked then boots up as normal.

Worked a treat!
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
Not really sure what you mean, I just looked on my phone for the IMEI number.

Go into settings > about phone> phone identity.

I just copied my IMEI number from there.

Maybe you got a digit wrong or something.
[HD2 General] TartanArmy:
If i recall the phone adds and extra digit or 2 to the imei, I got mine from the back of the box on the sticker.
[HD2 General] sattie_c:
I'm on vodafone and on iphone pay as you go with O2. Will it be difficult for me to get O2 to unlock the HTC HD2 for free???
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
o2 will unlock your iphone......

the hd2, unless you got it from o2, will be unlocked. esp if its from vodafone!
[HD2 General] wiltonson:
I got a reply from O2, they said the IMEI is not valid. However I gave them the exact same number on the back of my packaging. I don't know why I'm the only one who doesn't get an unlock code.
[HD2 General] itoYo:
wiltonson,

check if the imei on the back of the phone is the same as on the box!

i also got my unlock a couple of days ago
[HD2 General] wiltonson:
itoYo, yes I checked it against my box and they are the same. The *#06# trick has the extra 01 numbers at the end. I've just emailed back to the O2 guy with a photo shot of my box.
[HD2 General] kai_:
Have you been using your O2 sim in another phone for the time being while it's been waiting to be unlocked?

The reason I ask is because I have a HD2 bought outright from O2 and I left it powered off as I didn't want to use it while it was still locked. The O2 sim contract I bought it against was being used in another phone. I submitted a request online to unlock my handset and I was 100% sure that I gave the right IMEI number - I was conscious of the fact that *#06# gives you a 17 digit number on the HD2 itself but the webform only allows you to submit a 15 digit number.

After a reply maybe about 2 weeks later stating that my IMEI provided was incorrect, I sent back a reply about how I was sure my IMEI was right and asked them to look up their order records as they should track them should you ever need to phone up if your handset gets stolen they can then block it.

I got an instant reply saying that I'd receive a reply to my enquiry within 72 hours but no reply ever came. I then called up O2 directly to ask about it. The advisor then told me that while he can't look into it directly he can re-submit my request. However, first he went to reconfirm my IMEI number I provided and read out an IMEI number that was completely different to my HD2 - it was the IMEI number of my other handset that the O2 sim card was being used on!

He then proceeded to submit a new request using the IMEI I provided and then I almost immediately put the O2 sim into my HD2 and used it until the 25th when they sent me an unlock code - it was a great present :) The request took about a week and a half to 2 weeks in total.

So the moral of the story is that you should be using the HD2 with the O2 sim you took it out against as it seems like they go by whatever's 'live' and working on your O2 sim card.
[HD2 General] wiltonson:
darn it. i had my o2 sim in the blackberry. Cause that was the previous handset with my sim which I now got the HD2 upgrade from. I'll put it in my HD2 now so hopefully I can get it unlock soon. thanks kai!
[HD2 General] zivkatz:
i have read here that o2 will give the code within 28 days , i am about to buy one from vodafone romania and they commited to send me the unlock code within 48-72 hours because of the christmas , if it wasn't the would have suplied it in 12-24 hours .

tommorow i'll be a proud new owner but i'll get it only on saturday because i'm not the physical buyer .

i am a new here in xda forums and i hae to say that i have never seen such a donating community , i have learned so much just in few days thanks to all of you guys .

No luck with www.unlock-phone-online.com

After reading all of this thread, and failing to get an unlock code from 5 vendors so far, I decided to give it one more try, with www.unlock-phone-online.com. Within 30 mins I received the reply:

we regret to inform you that your unlock code is unfortunately unavailable.

Please perform the following operations: * # 06 # and check that the serial number that appears on the screen of your phone is in line with what you have communicated : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You will be repaid within minutes after receiving this e-mail.

I am in no doubt that the IMEI no is correct. However I bought the phone on ebay and am not an O2 subscriber, so I can not got direct to them. I have also done a CheckMend check on the IMEI to make sure that it has not been blocked, stolen, etc. The result was clean.

Can anyone tell me what else I can try? Do EMEI numbers take a while to get listed on the databases? If so, does anyone know how long this takes and/or how to find out? I am beginning to regret buying this phone. :(
