Not sure why you would pay to unlock T-Mobile Leo

Am I reading advice in this forum or advertisements for takemymoneyandmaybeunlockmyphoneifnotascam.com.

Let me be clear.

1. Buy the phone from T-Mobile (or friend on T-Mobile).

2. Call T-Mobile Customer Care at 800-937-8997.

3. Request an unlock code.

4. Receive an e-mail within 48 hours.

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference:

IMEI:

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have forwarded your request to the manufacturer. These requests normally take 24-48 hours, but may sometimes take longer based on circumstances that are not under our control. Please allow 14 days before submitting a duplicate request. If no response has been received after 14 days, please submit a new request.

NOTE: Since T-Mobile is requesting an unlock code from the manufacturer we cannot guarantee the response time or that a unlock code will be provided.

Thank You,

Sim Unlock Department

T-Mobile USA, Inc.

5. Allow 14 days before submitting a duplicate request.

6. See number 5.

7. Be patient; don't call them eight times and take

names; wait for your code. Don't try to beat the other guy's

time and escalate immediately.

8. Follow unlock instructions carefully when your code arrives.

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference:

IMEI:

Unlock Code:

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your HTC device.

1. Insert the foreign SIM card

2. Power on the device and the display should read "Please input unlock code"

3. Enter the unlock code and the device should display "Phone is unlocked."

4. Allow the phone to scan the network (or manually click on the antenna icon to do this)

It is very important that the instructions and SIM unlock code are entered correctly as listed. If you receive an error message while performing the instructions do not make any further attempts to unlock the handset. Please be aware that if an excessive amount of incorrect attempts are made, the phone will be permanently locked. You will need to verify the IMEI by pressing *#06# and contact Customer Care for support.

Thank You,

Sim Unlock Department

T-Mobile USA, Inc.
​

Note: May be the wrong forum, but the only other thing I had to do after entering unlock code is change the data connection from T-Mobile to cingular.wap to get the AT&T Edge connection. Phone came up on it's own but the data did not configure automatically as I had read in other threads.

Tried to link the T-Mobile site; junior members can't link?

Google SIM Unlock Code T-Mobile

Maybe a senior member could verify that this is a useful site and post in this forum. Thanks.

greetings

hi all,

so i'm new here, and i'd like to get started messing with smartphones. i decided to buy an htc hd2 from tmo us, and then i read the first post that states the us version is basically unworkable right now. is that true? i called in and got an unlock code using the travel overseas bit, so hopefully in 72 hours ill have my code.

so whats preventing people from flashing this phone in particular? would anyone mind explaining some of the intricacies involved?

did i just purchase the wrong phone to get started flashing on? :(

thanks!

ps: i forgot to mention i was interested in android on this puppy, i can still fully flash it with winmo roms im guessing right?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
The type of unlocking that's discussed in this thread is carrier-unlocking, so you could use the HD2 on other GSM carriers.

This has nothing to do with the type of unlocking needed to flash custom ROM's on the device, that requires what's known as a new SPL, and that's certainly available for the HD2, there's a whole section here dedicated to that (including full instructions): http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=624

As for android, there's developers already working very hard on getting that ported to the HD2, but it will probably be a while (i.e. a few months at least) before a working version surfaces. But...in the meantime, flash all the WM ROMs you want! (...as long as they're ones for this phone lol) :)
[HD2 General] inexion:
sweet, thank you kindly sir :)
[HD2 General] Money2g:
Yeah, but thats bull****, how the **** does it take 14 days to just get a god damn code when At&t does it in 10 minutes, I just dont understand. I've been waiting 6 days so far and still havent received my code yet. T-mobile should quit their business cuz they are ****ing horrible
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
14 is the last day to get a refund on the phone in some states! They're basically trying to lock you in a position to keep the phone and pay for their service.
[HD2 General] Money2g:
yea but, i didnt buy this phone from them, i bought it from someone else, I'm with at&t, i just want to unlock it so i can use it. i would never join tmobile, they can suck it
[HD2 General] nuvision:
T-Mobile Unlock Code !!!!

:):) Got my unlock code from T-Mobile US for HD2 today ... took less than 24 hours...

Unlocked phone with no problems ...

Called the Customer service rep and gave IMEI and account# .. did not have to fax anything ... I purchased the phone about 3 days ago at full price and a 2-yr contract....

I have been a T-Mobile customer for 1.5 yrs.... :):)
[HD2 General] MissAmerica:
There is a fourteen day return period, my guess is that T-Mobile doesn't want to deal with a bunch of hacked phones even though the phones will probably work better than original.

I am not sure that HTC is involved in the unlock process as stated in T-Mobile's letter; thought everyone would like to see what their official answers were, unbelievable as they may be.
[HD2 General] MissAmerica:
I bought my HD2 from a friend on T-Mobile; just asked him to contact T-Mobile Customer Care at 800-937-8997. He forwarded me the e-mails from Customer Care.

[HD2 General] santroph:
When people like me, that have no contract with them, live outside of USA, and after requesting the code, have YET TO RECEIVE any kind of mail... we have to go for other ways of unlocking it.

My friend, who did the request at the same time as me, and had the same request received both emails, the one saying they received the request, and the second that they have requested HTC for the code.

For me nothing happened, thats why I asked for the code and received it from a ebay member.

I posted here so people could believe that there is people out there that can do it besides TMOUS.

Greetings, Santroph
[HD2 General] faith:
I got the same email yesterday and then faxed the info yesterday but no reply or email after that. U got ur code and after how many days?
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
I bought an unused T-Mo HD2 from an American here in New Zealand, and couldn't be bothered waiting weeks and dealing with T-Mobile's customer service to get the unlock sode, so I sucked it up and paid for one online - normally I'm extremely anti when it comes to paying for unlock codes and the like, as the sites have to get them from SOMEWHERE, and it stands to reason that it's only a matter of time before it becomes public knowledge.

That said, after shopping around, I found a 50% off promotion for an unlocking site - the originally-named cellunlock.net. Was happy enough paying $20USD for the code, given I was emailed it three hours after I submitted the order.

Code is berryscoop50, as found here, for those interested.

I purchased mine from HTCCode.com for $35. It was literely instant. Kinda expensive but works pretty quick.

[HD2 General] littlebigkid:

[HD2 General] faith:
I think Tmobile is intentionally doing it. keep it updated.
[HD2 General] faith:
Have you tried to conatct Tmobile again for this delay? I plan to do it but not sure whether they will do something or not.
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
update: I call tmo again today and the CS tell me that I have to wait 3-4 more days , WTH??? , oh well , will see ...
[HD2 General] faith:
thanks for update. I think CS said that based on 14 day period as mentioned in email. so lets see what happens. dont know whether weekend days count or not. lets see what happens, I am also close to 14 days. I think they work on saturday too as i got last email from sim unlock team last saturday.
[HD2 General] faith:
any more update. i think u should call t-mobile again as i guess u are over 14 days now
[HD2 General] prosto:
Requested the code on April 27 via chat, received and unlocked the device on April 30.
[HD2 General] faith:
thats great. when u bought the phone and and are current tmobile user? trying to figure what they are releasing to some but not to others.
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
Hi, I just got off the phone w/ the cs and they said that they are STILL WAITING from HTC, and they had no control over that OR they can do ANYTHING about it other than waiting .!!!!!!! . dang, what is up with the all

the place that sell you the code in 24-48 hrs???, LOL, back door , bssob, haha.

oh well, money talk... I may have to go for htccode or cellunlock or ebay soon...
[HD2 General] alfaro58:
what are the benefits of unlocked hd2 ?

i already unlocked mine yesterday with the unlock code from tmobile but i know i can use the phone with other carrier but what else can i do with an unlocked hd2 ? (sorry for my english)
[HD2 General] faith:
i think u can use it on att or if u travel outside US if needed. there is no other benefit other than moving from t mobile to att if u cancel service.

When did u buy the phone & requested for code??
[HD2 General] faith:
I agree with you. keep us updated.
[HD2 General] alfaro58:
like 3 weeks ago and yesterday i recive the code from tmobile
[HD2 General] prosto:
Bought it on March 24 and have been a TMOUS customer for several years.

As far as I know, you have to be a customer for at least 90 days, but you can always ask someone else to submit your info for unlocking, if you're a new customer.
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
Hi , after 3 weeks waiting, I got all the codes for my two Tmous HD2s from T-mobile US,:D.
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
I got this email when i tried:
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
Hi, I'm a T-mobile customer for 6-7 years, when I call in to request the codes, the CS just tells me that I have to wait from 24hrs up to 14 days, after 10 days , I just keep calling Tmo every other days till I got it today.That was from first call in april/18 to today may/10.
[HD2 General] faith:
i got my code after about 13 days.
[HD2 General] dirtyalphaman:
How'd you do that?

I actually got my unlock code online and had it emailed to me in 2 to 3 minutes. It cost $30 and I used a money that had been sitting in my Paypal account forever, so it really wasn't missed. Anyways, I am using a Tmobile HD2 on At&t, but can't get the data service to work on Edge. Without Wifi, it won't connect to the internet. How did you change the connection type for At&t? Please help.......

Thanks
[HD2 General] cr2069:
I had mine unlocked right after getting the HD2 from TMobile store. Called TMobile service, requested unlocked code, got the unlock code one week later through email, then it's unlocked. Simple enough? And it's free.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
You'll need to add the AT&T Proxy settings...there's info on that (and even a cab I believe) here in the forums somewhere.

Unlock Code on E-bay

Guys,

I got my HD2 unlocked over ebay for 15 USD and it worked. The cheapest i've found. Reliable seller but takes a week to generate it and email us.

Thanks,

FastUnlocker.net dont believe them

Cheated me off my 20 $ .

Trying to get my refund:(
[HD2 General] JohnToronto:
Guys I ordered my LOCKED SEALED phone through eBay

now what's next? On eBay tons of sellers for 10 $ even the unlock code for t-mobile HTC HD2. Should I use them ? Are they trusted or it's waste of my and their times?

I don't think t-mobile will provide unlock code to a Canadian for free.

Here in XDA-DEVELOPERS I found a link to a custom ROM flasher. Does this software doing unlock also ? Or this has nothing to do with unlocking?

Thanks in advance !!!
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Hello,

You can use the seller i used.. just check the link 2 posts earlier to this. It worked awesome for mine.. just that it took me 1 full week to get it. IF any other seller, just check their feedback and ask them any questions you might have..and go ahead.. E-bay really works.. :)

The custom ROM doesn't unlock this, just unlocks your ROM for custom rom flashing. ROM unlocking has nothing to do with Service provider lock which you are looking for.

If you are new to ROM flashing.. go to the T-mobile Specific Rom and READ READ READ or you might risk bricking your phone forever.. as ebay doesnt have warranty (I suppose) and you would be in grave danger.

Thanks

Raj
[HD2 General] JohnToronto:
I am new in ROM ing, I have done several times some custom firmware installation on my PSP but not sure if this is somehow similar or not.

Anyways thanks for info. in PSP case even if you brick your hardware you can always UNBRICK it, here with HTC HD2 i guess once bricked you have to throw it away. So the risk is big and I rather not do it.

What's that custom ROM does that t-mobile one does not? Is that custom ROM is some kind of a "operating system" of a phone? Like menus, options etc... ?

And yes you are right, there is no warranty on e-bay. It's peer to peer buy and sell. Moreover I think if you buy any hardware from a store, once tried to install custom firmware the warranty is void. I think this is the way most (if not each and every) stores work
[HD2 General] angierichie:
Hi all,

I have actually had my HD2 unlocked by T-mobile themselves. I bought it subsidized on March 24th and then in april I called TMOUS and said i was travelling home to the UK to visit family and wanted to put in an PAYG simcard from the UK for calls and switch back to my TMO sim for texting. Within 72hrs I had my unlock code from TMO-US and flew to UK put in an Orange UK SIM and a TMO-UK SIM and they worked perfectly. I have since updated to the new ROM so i'm guessing i'm locked again but will try the same unlock code this weekend to update you all. This was done on OEM ROM
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
I read somewhere here that once its unlock , it remains unlock , not sure though.
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Unlock

True,

Once Unlocked it wouldnt get locked again just by flashing ROM Service provider unlocking is different from ROM Unlocking to flash Custom ROM. You have to use a relocking software and revert back to OEM ROM to get your warranty though
[HD2 General] prudviraj:
Yeah you will brick only if you flash a HD2 Rom not compatible with the T-mobile HD2 Rom. So before flashing, check out if it is compatible with T-mobile. So i suggest instead of going to HD2 Form, go to T-mobile Hd2 Forum where you can see all roms that are compatible to T-mobile Version. I myself use Kumar's 2.1 Rom and it is awesome. So don't worry about bricking at all if you flash the above rom. I have a PSP too that bricking is different from this.. ) This is hard bricking (kidding) so you your phone would die unless you are lucky.

Custom ROM's are Wonderful, they unlock the full potential of your phone otherwise not possible with the Original OEM ROM's so I suggest that you flash with Kumar's ROM.. like i did.. i have been flashing for the last 4 years without ever bricking.. so just follow instruction without missing any and you are good to go..

Thanks,

Raj

Hey guys,

i have cookies great work with the home tab and what not but i was just wondering if there was a way to increase the size of the icons to make them larger similar to the stock ones size wise.

Anyone know??

thanks in advance

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vakaviti:
Anyone at all please???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
more icons means smaller icons. You want to make them similar to the stock version, then you will have less icons.

I realise that but ive seen some screen shots from other members screens with icons that are nearing stock size but still maintain 4 across...just curious thats all
[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
Due to popular demand (and the lack of time I have to check everything that I release), I am starting a beta program with beta testers. So let's start with what I'm sure will be the FAQ.

How will it work?

I will now be PMing those of you whom have donated to beta test for me, and others who have been helpful along the way. Please do not PM me about getting into the Wave, I will be starting a NEW wave with only those I invite!

How can I become part of the beta test program?

You have to be invited. Refer to the above.

What about us normal folk?

There will be public releases posted in this thread, where everyone can post about both the private and public beta releases and what is going on. The other thread was getting far too cluttered.

I want to help!

All you need to do is become part of the Wave. If you get in the Wave, and you can help develop in any way, or you can simply flash the ROM and try it for awhile, go for it! Any help is appreciated
