Hi, sorry you're having problems. To be honest lots of people have trouble with the weather (at least it's not as bad as the weather in Bing). If you serch XDA you will find lots of info about problems and fixes the people have found for weather. One big thing is that some locations just cannot automatically update My Location for weather. For instance, when I'm in Gloucester "My Location" updates the weather all the time. When I'm in Cheltenham it fails everytime. I had to add Cheltenham as a city to get it to work.

Going back to stock ROM is a good idea to test the responsiveness. I'm on stock ROM so I don't have experience of this (I'd have hoped that a hard reset would reset everything inlcuding the radio but as I said, Ive never used a non-stock ROM on a "locked" phone). but a search of the forum might help. There is an official ROM thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577717.

Perhaps you could do a reset then update to the latest T-Mobile stock ROM that came out on the 15th? This will hopefully be better than the stock ROM you had. http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=2

Hope you get the help you need to mnake this phone work for you.
[HD2 General] loady:
the support in this forum is second to none. I download the rom for my phone, i put it on the root of my sd card and renamed it to leoimg.nbh, powered phone on whilst holding vol down and screen came up saying loading but tben it just sits on the tri colour boot screen
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Which rom did you download and install? Some roms are radio sensitive; if you don't install the right radio then the rom won't work.

[HD2 General] loady:
i downloaded a stock rom from tbe stock thread which is correct for my phone, i was told to put it on sd card and rename it and then power on whilst holding vol down, this is supposed to flash it with correct radio and rom for warranty purposes
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
soundslike you just renamed the .exe file and put that on your phone which would be the wrong way.

the exe is just a zip file really, so change the .exe to .zip and then it will open like any other zip (on your PC).inside you will see a few files, one especially called ruu_signed.nbh. extract that file, rename it leoimg.nbh, copy to sd card, now boot to boot loader and follow the prompts.
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
So, I have mine but its locked to T-Mobile, and would like it Unlocked. I have a RebelSim II Card, but cannot seem to get it to work, what is the best way to get it unlocked and where.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
I've been looking for an unlock method too, might try htcsimunlock.com but the website hasn't been around for very long and it looks a bit shady
[Desire General] saquib:
Try http://www.htccode.com/
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
Have you used it before?
[Desire General] saquib:
Recommended on modaco.com, so would trust based on that.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
Great, might give that a go, thanks

I guess there is no chance of T-Mobile themselves issuing me a code?
[Desire General] niraveg:
yes they would.

£15 charge. Up to 28 days for unlock code.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
Need one ASAP that's the problem really, this ebay seller seems to have decent feedback
[Desire General] niraveg:
yeah he seems to be okay.

Might be worth a punt hmmm...
[Desire General] Lats:
Please let us know how you get along. I'll be interested in unlocking it too, once I get it that is.
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
I'm going to try that ebay seller too when I get mine this morning, I want to use my company o2 sim in mine which i am taking out of my iphone.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
Exactly the same as what I need to do Ronny, should be getting mine before 1PM although a lot of people seem to have got theirs already so I'm starting to think that it might come on Monday
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Give t mobile a ring they will give you a tracking number then you will know. It should be on a pre 1pm delivery
[Desire General] niraveg:
Depends on your postman mate. Get a tracker off t-mob and check RM site!
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Mine has arrived, and I just paid to have it unlocked, will let you know how it goes :)
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
Let us know how it goes, can you also let us know where you got the unlock code from, thanks.
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Just had this message back from seller

"Unfortunately your code could not be found however i have fully refunded you"

Hmm back to the drawing board lol

Lol just trying another one, this could become expensive hehe
[Desire General] cez10:
have you tried the official tmobile website? i know its £15 but i guess its 100% working and trusted service to get ur phone unlocked :)
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
Anyone have any luck at all, seems we might have to wait, im waiting on htccode, to see if they can, just waiting on my code now.
[Desire General] jazzk:
I failed with another ebay unlocker.

I'm currently waiting on htccode.

I initially went for the automated unlock (place order, download the TotalGSM client and request a code) but it didn't work.

I talked to the guy there over their live help on the website. He said that because its a new phone, it's probably not present on the database that the software checks against.

They do have a new database though (they got it today), so they promptly refunded my original request and I had to place a new order (paypal them 25Euros and the IMEI via email) and he said it will take 1-3 days to get the unlock code emailed to me.

Really good service and communication, I just hope they can get me the code!
[Desire General] Spannaa:
I used GSMLiberty.net to unlock my T-Mobile UK Desire.

Cost me £9.70 and the working code was delivered by email in less than five minutes.
[Desire General] dangerous_brain:
Oh dear I am getting a very sinking feeling right now. I bought a phone from ebay and when I put both O2 and Vodafone sims in I am getting no network coverage and it doesn't offer me the option to put in a code. I think I'm facing the stark reality that I have a stolen phone. BAck this information up with the fact that the seller provided a samsung charger and I think I've just been screwed. What bugs me is I specifically bought from someone with decent feedback GRRRR.
[Desire General] ferraripassion:
As it happens often, phone bought on ebay are reported lost or stolen.
[Desire General] dangerous_brain:
Ah great now what? I have the report says it is blacklisted but not reported missing or stolen. What does this mean? T-mobile the original network carrier confirms its locked but they didn't do it. They suggest its the insurance company. How do I find out which insurance company it is as the police won't act unless I actually prove it is stolen.
[Desire General] kaos3717:
i have TRIED ALL THE SHOPS IN MY AREA!!!!! ALL THE SHOPS.

my PHONE IS ON A 3G NETWORK

HTC DESIRE ITS A NEW MAKE AND I THINK ITS ON THE NEW DATABASE

all the shops i have tried they have checked all the databases and its still not avalible i have also spoke to the people in total gSMs and they could not also find the CODE,

is it 100 PERCENT NOT UNBLOCKABLE????

[Desire General] spile:
GSMLiberty waited over 24 hours before telling me that I'd have to pay an extra $15 to unlock my Desire. I rang the operator it was locked to "3" who did the job in two minutes for £15. Why on earth didn't I do that the first time! In the UK all phone operators are obliged to provide an unlock card.
[Desire General] djpleasure:
I just to want to advise people against using gsmliberty to get an unlock code. I used them for a code for my HTC Desire locked to T-Mobile. States 5-10 minutes. A day passes, I hear nothing. I then raise a ticket asking where is my unlock code.

I receive a message quoting server problems cause delay? rubbish and if it was the case, a simple mail to let me know would have sufficed.

next they quote the server did not return a code for my HTC and went on to say:

I opted for for number 2, I requested a refund, I wait a day, no refund, I contact them again, they state they are searching for my code, to which I respond yet again, refund me. Another day passes, no refund.

I have had to raise a dispute with Paypal with the hope of receiving my refund. In the meantime I used foneszone.co.uk I received a working code very fast and problem free. Beware who you use for codes, some are more hassle than they are worth.
[Desire General] /mek:
I just tried to purchase a code through htcunlock.com but they ended up refunding my money saying it can not be done.

Another site said this:

The default HTC Desire X06HT ROM from operator SoftBank Japan does not allow unlocking the phone (it will not request the unlock code to be entered, when inserting a locked SIM card). In order to unlock your phone you should change the ROM firmware to a non SoftBank one (in other words, you should debrand your phone using a goldcard and flashing a non SoftBank ROM first).

And surely my Desire does not request the unlock code when used with a different SIM card. It just says "Emergency calls only" or something similar.

Would really like to get my Desire unlocked, so could you tell me how you managed to do it?

Edit: HTCCode also told me it can not be unlocked.
[Desire General] jm64:
Have just spent 4 days getting my Desire unlocked.

Purchased the code from HTCCode.com for $20.

Tried using GSMClient but said 'Connecting to server... Server disabled'

Sent mail with all details & next day received reply saying IMEI was not on database 1 or 2 so must be new phone & would cost another $15 for code.

Next day had to phone Sudar again to advise that I had still not received code.

Sent details by text & next day received code, unlocked from T-mobile first time.

Although it took some time & chasing to get the code, it did work so I'm happy...
[Desire General] spile:
I cannot recommend any of these unlock services - just ring the phone company that the phone is locked to. Unlocked mine in minutes unlike GSM Liberty
[Desire General] tschaboo:
There are phone companies that will charge you EUR 200-300 for the unlocking code. So practically that option doesn't exist for everyone.
[Desire General] mmarjan:
so is there any sofware - unlocking solution(something like iphone unlocking etc.) for the htc desire or just codes codes codes .... ?????
[Desire General] mobileunlocked:
There is software but it costs almost the same amount as the codes to use (you have to connect to the server so you are charged for each use) and it seems to bring up error messages on quite a lot of computers. But it's an option, as long as you have a Microsoft Windows PC.

[Desire General] Madromark:
Well, I have an HTC Desire for a couple of weeks now, and it's locked to Telenor HU (also known as pannon), and I can't unlock it. I would like to use it with my Vodafone HU simcard. I tried buying codes from ebay but they didn't work. Now I found someone who might be able to unlock it, but he's sitting over my phone for a week now... Today he will give me an answer if he can unlock it or not.

If not, what can I do to unlock the phone? Because using it with telenor simcard is not an option right now... and after those ebay unlock code experiences I don't really want to buy another one. I also have a 2 year warranty on the phone and I don't want to loose that with rooting my phone.

Any ideas are welcomed, and thanks in advance.
[Desire General] spile:
In the UK there is maximum charge of around £17. This may apply to the rest of the EU but am not sure.
[Desire General] tschaboo:
Rooting is not necessary and doesn't help with unlocking. It's different.

I know two methods of unlocking now. First is using a code that you buy somewhere on the internet. I don't know where those codes are coming from, if they are reverse engineered or stolen from the manufacturer. This method doesn't work for all HTC Desire though. It's a known problem, that some carriers use custom codes which are not in the databases of the guys selling codes, so the code you get doesn't work.

Hutchinson 3G in Austria (drei.at) is such an example. I tried some suppliers of codes and even asked before, if they can unlock it even though it's locked bei Drei. Some sayd no, others say yes but deliver a wrong code and force you to go through the whole make-video-upload-to-youtube-wait-for-weeks-etc-procedure to get your money back.

Probably your provider is also using custom codes?

Probably not. My provider charges EUR 390,- in the first 2 years, EUR 99,- afterwards.

Now the good news: I've finally unlocked my phone! I went to Vienna to semaf.at, they are really competent. Unfortunately they had to open the phone, solder wires to the JTAG-pads and unlock it through JTAG. Now, the warranty is gone for sure. :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Madromark:
Yes, I guess then Telenor Hu is using custom codes. Well I got my phone back today, and the guy who tried to unlock it said that it has a very new software (2.2??) so he wasn't able to unlock it. He also said that he can get codes from Telenor monthly, so in 2-3 weeks I might get a code from them.

What if I downgrade my software and try the code then? Isn't there a software unlock like on iPhones?

A read about jtag, but I live in Hungary and I don't think that someone could do that for me here in my country... and also loosing my warranty... I don't know.

And sorry about my "newbie" questions, but I'm really desperate right now, I thought this will be easier... :(
[Desire General] tschaboo:
As far as I understand - but I'm really not an expert in unlocking - the Android version should not matter. Probably waiting 2-3 weeks might be the best option for you. If he can really organize a working code it's the least invasive option.

You have to ask him if that really helps. I doubt it.

I don't know of a software unlock. Anyone else?

It was hard for me too to throw away my warranty. But I want to use my Desire on my vacation and I absolutely won't pay those roaming fees. If you live in Budapest or even nearer, driving to Vienna still might be a possibility.

[Desire General] swiftscythe:
I just unlocked my HTC Desire HD with htccode.com and it worked perfectly and very fast. What I most liked was its live support, where members as Sudarshan will help you through the whole process and answer any doubt you have.

If you are still heasitating whether how to unlock it, you should give this a try.

I wish I had read a post like this one before trying it.

Hope it's useful for someone :)

Just stumbled across this, looks pretty good! Thanks guys!

Just to confirm.. it's better to use that tool rather than htccode.com?
[Desire General] xdaking:
htccode is for unlock HTC by 8 digit code (no need to plug your phone to computer just need to send imei)

https://unlockman.com also good to try
[Desire General] flashback85:
I ended up using the software app available from here, worked a treat!
[Desire General] gretch:
Awesome, thanks.
[Desire General] zoock:
I paid 35 $ to htccode in may for HTC Desire unlock code. After some email exchange I resigned, I will get nothing for my money. This is a rogue operator.
[Desire General] mobileunlocked:
Zoock, did you launch a dispute with Paypal or your credit card company to get the money back?

Also, we'd be glad to help you. Just email support@mobileunlocked.zendesk.com with your IMEI number and we'll match the price that HTCCode were charging and double check that an unlock code is available before you make a payment.

i see you lot are waisting your money, buying codes , from scumers, htc, .........

i've unlocked mine without buying any code, it's just a software you burn on a cd, plug your phone to your pc, and boot your pc with burnt cd et voila, unlocked.

of course, it works, it worked on mine, which the hardest one to unlock, orange branded, now i'm using t-mobile on it,

i think, locked Desires should be first rooted ,S-off and the rest from the noobs guide to root. once s-ff the software will unlock it without any probs.
[Desire General] Vitya_:
Mine was also simlocked to orange, and my first "intervention" was to desimlock it with the above mentioned free utility - well before rooting, installing custom rom, s-offing, whatsoever. So in principle it works with the "out of the box" configuration.

relock?

Hi,

I have previously succesfully unlocked my HTC Desire, but now i have some battery issues with battery performance (not related to unlock!:)) and want to send it back for a check.

And I have read a post where You said it is possible to ReLock the phone.

My phone was bought from T-Mobile HU (Hungary)

Can you help me please?

I successfully unlocked my Desire with the unlock utility. Haven't personally heard of being able to re-lock though?

Well I have the software and its now waiting on the code, which could take up to 20 mins. Live chat isnt working, so how would i go around in getting a refund.
[Desire General] jazzk:
Yeah I waited for around 40 minutes, no code. Just send them an email, I think they are based in the East, live chat was working around 12pm (noon), so you could try then tomorrow.
[Desire General] fuzzmo:
I'm confused here - you have the T-Mobile HTC Desire and you want to unlock it? So rather than paying £15 to T-Mob for guaranteed unlock you're paying 25 Euros (Circa £21-22) for an unlock from someone you've never used before and who may not be able to do it?

I'm presuming you need it done ASAP otherwise the above doesn't make sense to me....
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
There is nothing to be confused about, I have rang T-Mobile and they have charged me 15 quid to unlock it, however it can take the best part of a month for them to do it. I am happy to pay someone to get the code earlier that is why me and others are willing to give money to people we dont know and unlock our phones.
[Desire General] fuzzmo:
So you have paid for the unlock to T-Mob but you're still looking to pay extra to get it unlocked quicker? OK - up to you I guess. Anyway I thought these companies were meant to be phasing out the locks on the phones and that the EU said it was unlawful (maybe I dreamt the last bit)?

Anyway congrats on getting your HTC Desire - I've gotta wait Lord only knows when for Orange to pull their finger out - and they announced it first....
[Desire General] jazzk:
This would be the easiet solution. Problem is they have a 7-28 day turnaround for the code. If you can wait that long, I'd definitely go the T-Mobile route.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
Got refunded from an Ebay seller too, argh I need the phone unlocked as soon as possible, at the moment I'm using it more like a MID while I'm in WiFi zones and have to carry my old O2 Orbit too for phone/texting

I have managed to get my Rebelsim II card working, however the phone thinks its roaming, which isn't an issue, as its not roaming its in the UK, on O2. However anyone know how to make it so its not roaming.
[Desire General] jazzk:
How did you get it unlocked?
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
I used a Rebelsim II card, however its not really reliable, as it doesn't actually unlock the phone it just makes the phone think its on another network, it also made the phone loose signal etc, so im back to square one to find a proper solution.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
I'm having to do the same thing because my gf will be having the new T-Mo sim to use in the Hero and ill be using my regular 3 sim. Unfortunately, I cannot wait a month so im having to stump up the 25 euros.

I do trust them though, they are endorsed on Modaco who I trust whole heartedly.

He said he's obtaining the new code list, and the 1 to 3 days was quoted which is perfect.
[Desire General] jazzk:
Guys,

htccode came through, I got my unlock code today and it's working with an O2 sim!

I'd definitely recommend them, you might have to drop them an email though because they don't seem to have the new database check listed on their website (it was 25Euros and IMEI by email for me).

To be clear, unless they've updated the database their software checks against, the order through website / download the TotalGSM client won't work, but they can get the code in 1-3 days (took 2 days for me) manually.
[Desire General] weirdwilli:
Got mine through HTCcode today also, talked to a nice guy on Live Chat who told me if I ordered now (last night) he would push my order to priority and I've just got it

Can't get data to work on my O2 sim though, anyone got any ideas?
