get O2 to send the web settings?
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
When I went for the 'Get Settings' I got a text saying 'Unfortunately we had problems dealing with your request for settings. Please contact Customer Services'

I can't seem to find any fields to input the settings either?
[Desire General] O and O:
Google it, there are many sites with the manual settings.

I am still waiting for my code from HTCCODE, I have paid the 25 EUR for the code, but its been nearly 24 hours, argh all I want is my code.
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
Hi

It is under process. I have over 50 IMEI's in queue now. We will email the codes at once.
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
okay thanks, appreciate it.
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
All codes for the HTC Desire, Tattoo, Hero & HD2 have been processed now.

Will be emailing them shorly.

PS: This is for all the IMEI's provided to me in the last 2 days.
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
What about the imei numbers sent to you via email also did you do the code for the IMEI: 357841030080713
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
Your code has been emailed, pls check.

And please remove the email address from your previous, if the spam bots pick up the email there will be loads of spam.
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
Unlock code worked great, I really recommend HTCCode even though they advertise the 15 EUR price on the site and it was 25 EUR, still a good service. Thanks
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
I got my o2 settings from here, I think they work ok

[Desire General] who_me:
Can I just ask....does the unlocking of phones also remove any network specific firmware thats on it too? I've never had to get a phone unlocked so a little unsure as to what actually happens (other than removing the network lock on it). Thanks.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
No to do that you have to flash a generic rom. Unlocking it literally just removes the network lock so you can have an Orange sim in your T-Mob Desire but it will still have T-Mob boot up screen and web and walk icon.
[Desire General] pphillips001:
Unless you are lucky enough to receive a completely unbranded (HTC splash on boot) and unlocked phone (should be tied to T_Mobile - but, meh, I'm not complaining) like moi! ;D
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
I now have a completely unbranded with HTC splash on boot, and its fully unlocked.
[Desire General] webside80:
nintendolinky, where did you get the base firmware from?

Also, do the handsets from T-Mobile have a T-Mobile logo on the case (just curious)?
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
I got the unbranded firmware from somewhere in the forum, cannot remember where, It cannot be easily flashed on T-Mobile phones though, so a GoldCard must be created, once flashed however every other firmware can be easily installed and once flashed it removes any sign of T-Mobile, even from the splash screen. The phone has no external branding from T-Mobile at all, so technically I no have an unlocked unbranded HTC Desire, woooooop. :)
[Desire General] zeezeetop:
My verdict is out on this - I went on ferraripassion's htccode.com site and htc Desire is listed as being in database but after purchasing credit for advertised 15 euros it turns out it is not in database and now I'm being asked for $35 US - I've contacted them to ask whether I'll get refund of 15 euros when I pay the $35 but no reply so far...

If I do get a response I'll post again and let you know.

Got my code from them and phone unlocked so positive outcome in the end.

Have you managed to get your original 15 euros back?

Hey Everyone

The codes are coming through instantly now.
[Desire General] wooju:
Hello Everyone,

Can somebody explain me what the procedure is to unlock (=purchase the code) the HTC desire ? Also, how much does it actually cost ?

Thank you,

[Desire General] garzal:
Hi

I have just got Desire on Orange contract.

Is there any downside to me getting it unlocked now?

I don't really need it unlocked right now but if these unlock codes work then I was thinking why not?

Will it be exactly the same as now except I can use another SIM later if I chose to do so?

thanks

[Desire General] mostonblue:
register at htccode.com

send payment of $35 through paypal to admin@totalgsm.org and include your IMEI no.

he will then email you a code

put the sim card you want to use in phone and when it boots it will say invalid sim, and prompt you to enter code

i used them and it worked 1st time. the code took about 6 hours
[Desire General] styts:
It is important to note, that with HTC Desire you have to send money directly to his paypal account above, and NOT purchase through the site.

PS. The original 15 euro is refunded, if you make the mistake of purchasing a code for your Desire through the site.
[Desire General] SchooledBySatan:
Bought my T-Mobile phone unlocked

I got my Desire from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk on T-Mobile and I came unlocked. Get in! I don't need to mess about now paying more money to get it unlocked.

Next plan is to setup a dual sim card.

Thinking of using .simore.eu anyone had a go, its rather expensive and I don't want to waste my time or money! But the video of the it working on the Hero looks like just what I am after.
[Desire General] anvieira:
HTC Desire locked from Orange (UK)

Hello.

I´m from Brazil and a friend of mine bought me a HTC Desire from Orange (UK), but it´s locked. The guy on store told him that is not possible to unlock but i´ve read here that some people succeeded unlocking this HTC Desire using htccode.com from another network (O2, T-Mobile, etc), but not from Orange.

That is my doubt. It´s possible to unlock HTC Desire from Orange UK ?

PLEASE , HELP !!!

Thanks !!!
[Desire General] Splather:
I unlocked my HTC Desire from the Orange network using htccode.com. Worked fine - had the code within about 5 hours.
[Desire General] anvieira:
How much is it cost ?

Thanks about this information !

How much you paid to htccode ? After you insert this code, all functions work fine ?
[Desire General] Jpcurrie:
I too unlocked from Orange on Friday using htccode.com

I had the code in about 20 minutes and paid 25EUR for it - brilliant!!!

I'm using an o2 sim in it now until my contract runs out.
[Desire General] davicio:
I've used HTC Code before and it was okay for my Hero.

But just tried it on my Desire and it's not accep;ting my account.....

When you get the login and password via email, where are you supposed to put that information? I'm deleting my account information for this site and putting it in the login/password and entering my IMEI which is correct.

It's then stating when I 'send' that my IMEI number is not in db. My IMEI number is correct!

What is going on?

To add: It's not bringing up any code whatsoever and has taken my credits (i.e. my money)
[Desire General] neowlchaz:
I've left a post on their forums regarding my problem, I just purchased credits from the site via moneybooker, whch now I'm led to believe was a wrong move.

Would love to know what's going on!
[Desire General] davicio:
I've asked for money back on Paypal.

HTC Code (htccode.com): Not good for HTC Desire.

ANYONE KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE THAT CAN UNLOCK THE HTC DESIRE OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED COMPANY?
[Desire General] badgerz:
Got a similar story to others on here. missold the htccode.com service for the HTC Desire. No reply back from the contact email.

Opened a PayPal dispute, will see what happens with that.
[Desire General] styts:
I know it's tempting to open a dispute, but the way to get the unlock code for Desire, as well as your original 15 euro back is by sending him 25euro/35usd directly. See http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1272
[Desire General] davicio:
HTC Code service is poor.

Basically they ask you to pay 15 euros to unlock any phone.

I have since learned that I am supposed to pay more, but absolutely nowhere does it state that. You have to go through the rigmerole of opening a resolution through payPal to get your refund and then be asked to pay $35 dollars instead.

But I'm still unsure as to where, because they still haven't repsonded to my emails, my resolution in Paypal etc.

I'm sorry - but am not impressed so far. They are acting deceitfully in getting your initial 15 euro payment. You can;t go anywhere immediately to pay the higher fee.

It's wasting my time.
[Desire General] styts:
The second post in the thread I linked has the address: admin (at) totalgsm.org

You probably won't get a response until you pay the $35. (There's a phone nr on their about page, btw)

I can only confirm that the service is poor and misleading, but it seems the only place where a reasonable amount of people have confirmed(myself included) they have successfully got an unlock code after hopping through all the loops.

Unlocking seems like a shady back-alley half-legal business, so we will have to deal with them, until something better is found.

Why don't people just stop whining, get their phone unlocked, and forget the whole uncomfortable thing ;)
[Desire General] HoneyBeFly:
I called T Mobile and was quoted 15 pounds to unlock. I should get the code within 28 days but I'm not in a rush.
[Desire General] davicio:
?

Wow - you're an easy target aren't you?

The fact that I still don't yet have a code has something to do with my whining and the fact I've paid.

And their contact number is Indian...
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
PM me the details, I will have a look.
[Desire General] scoob2010:
took a while but got mine

I went thru the same hoops to get the unlock code but eventually got it after 2 days and got the original 15 EURO refunded (althought I dont know why he doesnt just update his site)

unlocked orange htc desire (input code twice)
[Desire General] Matt2887:
Just sent payment along with the IMEI
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
Am bringing down the rates now from $35 to somewhere between $25 to $30 mostly $25 :)
[Desire General] r3gsm:
I have been told that codes are not currently available on the main database, so you will not get a code at the moment for them. Only way is to try non-database codes or network operator codes (if available).

I got a code from unlockbycode.net which took 3 days but code worked 1st time. Cost was £25 but definately worth the wait.

i do reccomend HTCSIMUNLOCK.com

Can you explain about dual sim card set up?

Does that mean you can use 2 sim cards in your Desire and how do you alternate between them?
[Desire General] hoot:
unlocking software

great, you can pay

but what about software to unlock the device on your own? does anybody know anything about it?
[Desire General] rob111:
I have done a lot of searching and it looks like paying is going to be the only option for a while yet so I have just used express-codes on Ebay. The code was emailed within 5 mins and only cost £10. I also did not want to pay Orange for it as that would encourage Orange to keep charging for unlock codes that I think should be given out free with contract phones.

I had no choice because my phone said it was simlocked and would not work with the Orange sim card it came with. It was fine until I flashed an Asian rom after rooting it.

I had tried rooting it again, R4 method as before, with the European rom but it was still locked.

I had to enter the code twice even though it said it was successful the first time.
[Desire General] dainesefreak:
Just used express-codes on Ebay too. Cost me £9.99 and was done within 10 minutes. Great job.
[Desire General] nimrax:
do you can help me?

i have HTC Desire but he wrote "sim network unlock pin"
[Desire General] rob111:
I do not think anyone will give you an unlock code for free. Also it is best not to advertise your imei number.
[Desire General] ole2mail:
no luck yet with uncoding through htccode.com

no luck yet with uncoding through htccode.com for me.

I've sent them my money (step 1 and 2) on the weekend.

since then - silence. I've got no e-mail and no details.

their website shows "step 3" as the need to obtain another registering account - complete mess.

e-mail was sent to admin address (the only contact I've found), but no answer ever yet.

could anybody confirm htccode.com is still working or it became another scam company for just stealing our money?

anybody had a contact reply from them for last weeks?

thanks
[Desire General] mobileunlocked:
At mobileunlocked.co.uk we can now provide the unlock code for the Desire in about 30 minutes, and for £16.50
[Desire General] trentend:
Actually t-mobile have undertaken to unlock my three desires (on a business share) for free. I just told them that I needed to use a local sim when travelling abroad and they agreed to unlock the phones as part of the contract agreement. I haven't done it yet, but just need to email them the phone and IMEI numbers to our business account manager.

I'm not saying they'll do it for everyone, but the general rule is that you never have more power than when negotiating your contract - so you should definitely try then. The other time that you can get stuff, is if you have a problem provably caused by a supplier. Miss these opportunities to leverage goodies at your peril.......

There is a comment regarding a Vodafone Spain unlock.

Has anyone unlocked an HTC Desire from a portuguese network? I am going to get one, but it would be nice to unlock it. I have read in some "unlocking sites" that unlock codes are not available for portuguese networks, which sucks :p

Very happy with that.

It's ok I recive mail from moneybookers-you refund money!

but tell me why can't you unlock my phone!?
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
@nikola

Some providers relock their phones with their own codes and the code from HTC Code is not the correct.

This is the Romanian network, no problems with UK , USA etc..

htccode service

www.htccode.com

Just used these guys tonight to unlock my newly acquired HTC Desire which was locked to T-Mobile UK.

Registered and paid via paypal, downloaded the TotalGSM client software, input my details, then....nothing!! BUT....

Spoke to the online help guy (Sudarshan) was very helpful and talked me through the process for getting the unlock code via the TotalGSM Client software. Everything now works fine.

The only thing I would say is that the process is slightly cumbersome and the software could perhaps do with being a little more user friendly, but overall the procedure worked fine and at a reasonable price...Happy to recoomend these guys. :)
[Desire General] LenMackin:
I used HTCunlock a week ago and my orange locked desire was unlocked within 20 minutes. Do follow the instructions exactly and follow the email links. you MUST enter the unlock code twice for it to work.
[Desire General] MadMic:
I just used the guy from ebay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/express-codes/ and cant fault him - super fast and friendly :D

Same as some others had - you need to enter the code twice!

My phone is locked on T-mobile Montenegro,so can anyone help me!!??
[Desire General] shuck:
I ordered an unlock code from www.unlock-htc.com, and provided code is not working.

I'm on Orange Romania Network and they claim their supplier gave them the right code, but the code did not work for me.

Anyway, i do not recommend them to anybody, bad communications, bad attitude and they know there is a problem with Desire Orange Romania but don’t add this model/network to unsupported list.

And if you read testimonials you will see a 100% positive feedback, very strange don’t you think…
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
i prefer using software at least then your not giving away your IMEI no.
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
Wait for a few days, we will be releasing a cable method which will read your code directly from the phone.
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
Romanian networks relock their phones with their own codes, so the code from the HTC database will be wrong.
[Desire General] nikola.pg:
ok I will waiting I have no other,but can you write here when that methode be in use!
[Desire General] ademarizu:
Just to let you guys know that I unlocked mine yesterday (T-Mobile UK) at

htcsimunlock (can't put the link 'cause my account is kinda new).

It cost me £14.29 (using credit card, on pay-pal they charge you extra £2). I received the unlock code after 30min. =D

[Desire General] shuck:
I know this NOW but they (www.unlock-htc.com) should know and worn costumers before purchases.
[Desire General] wgg:
Read through the thread and ended up using this ebay seller (item number 300434867258 )

Got the code back immediately after paying £8.99 and after entering code once the phone is unlocked. Have tried it with 2 sims and both worked.
[Desire General] boyard:

With the prompt reply in 10 mins, my phone is unlocked! with just £10.00 :D

[Desire General] jipi:
I bought this unlock code: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-Code-F...ryZ80089QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem very cheap and ultra fast (less than 5 minutes). Works perfectly.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
how safe is it to hand out your IMEI numbers to that ebay shop?
[Desire General] alio993:
Sorry for the stupid question...but if you unlock your desire does that mean you'll get the OTA updates straight from HTC? Or are they still from the network you're connected to?
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
No

unlocking just means you can use other network sims in your phone.

You can flash a stock HTC ROM and then update it when a OTA update comes out without unlocking your phone but it would mean you will loose root.

So best to wait for a updated custom ROM so you can keep your root.
[Desire General] smacdo11:
Already unlocked

I got a htc desire on Three UK monthly contract and assumed it was locked. When i phoned to pay £15 for unlock code I was told it was already unlocked. I confirmed this with an O2 sim which I didn't think to try :). Bargain at £17pm for 24 months- £408. Lucky ex iphone fanboy :)
[Desire General] SamHandyman:
These guys could not unlock my Desire. Just a few days ago. I am still waiting for my money to come back.
[Desire General] silvake:
HTCSimUnlock.com, just another scam website!!!

I don't know how can you recommend those htccsimunlock.com thieves!

I have an HTC Desire network locked with Orange Romania.

I purchased an unlock code from their website, payed with credit-card, received the code after two days, but the code was not good and it didn't unlocked my phone.

I wrote several messages to support, requesting either the correct code or a refund, but all my email messages were ignored.

I think they are one of the many scam websites that only takes your money, pretending they have a full money-back guarantee and then they totally ignores your emails.

So DON'T TRUST THEM or anything they're pretending, they are just ordinary SCAMMERS!
