[Desire General] tele27:
so if i update the phone using OTA to orange gingerbread, it will lock the phone again to orange?
[Desire General] sieempi:
It won't relock, but you won't be able to root and use this app (for anyone else who hasn't and is still network locked) until another bug will be found.
[Desire General] Nexus04:
I was told this will work for the HTC Wildfire, can you confirm if it does or does not ?

Thanks
[Desire General] sieempi:
I actually haven't done any tests on any other device but Desire and I have no clue, BUT it might work if your hboot is < 1.x. I've also heard of successful stories but only from 3rd parties. For anyone else wanting to give it a shot, go ahead, try it. The worst scenario is that it won't do anything at all, no harm..
[Desire General] vis-tec:
Thanks for this
[Desire General] juanchotolas:
It does not work on a wildfire, tested a lot of times, with different radios, different roms and hboot 0.8

Thanks very much for sharing.
[Desire General] waynefox:
Still not working on mine. Tried 30 times, it rebooted once but still no unlock. Could it be because I'm using a Linux pc. I read something about that on here
[Desire General] ledfreak3d:
great thats always handy to have
[Desire General] azn_indeed:
amazing unlocked my telus desire thank you!
[Desire General] jumarstar:
Couldn't get it to work using virtual machine, but it worked first time when I burnt the image to disk and booted my computer with it.

Great!
[Desire General] zhaominghao:
that's sounds so cool,i may have a try,thanks for share
[Desire General] r3xha:
Worked for my orange UK desire.

One thing to have in mind, keep your sim and sd card in, otherwise it will not work, that's my experience.

Thank you!
[Desire General] machsimum:
Was Locked to Orange and unlocked it to Vodafone but it took at least 6 attempts every time saying done and still was unlocked.. I mounted it with Vmware player! Will surely buy u a beer mate u deserve it. .
[Desire General] paul.c:
The utility comes with its own OS so it shouldn't matter. You're doing something wrong. I couldn't boot the utility on my netbook but I managed to do it with my notebook. Try with another computer.
[Desire General] waynefox:
I've tried on 2 PCs both do the same. It says that the unlock was successful when it wasn't and out of those 30 times, the phone only rebooted once but still remained locked.

Might just pay 3 for the unlock code
[Desire General] reddev0:
Worked second time here, first failed probably due to having half a dozen usb devices plugged into desktop pc, second time worked a charm on laptop with just phone using usb. Awesome thank you. beer on the way soon!

Edit: burnt and booted straight from cd, could not be bothered to setup/try virtual machine and map usb ports.
[Desire General] sjgore:
Please help, I used the bootable CD and it said it was successful. But now I can't mount my SD-CARD, either from within Android, recovery, or fastboot.

I just get the error message:

can't mount dev block mmcblk0p1

Anybody know what has happened?
[Desire General] paul.c:
Bump ! Try changing the sim card. Almost everyone reported success; some on the first attempt, others after multiple so that's why I said that you are doing something wrong.
[Desire General] paul.c:
Try your with another SD card to see if it's your phone or the card. If it's your phone then you have several tutorials on the forum that deal with the issue.
[Desire General] sjgore:
Thanks for the reply. I've tried with two other SD cards, same thing in each case. Do you know which tutorial(s) I need to follow?
[Desire General] reddev0:
Try doing 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode (via android SDK on PC).
[Desire General] sjgore:
Thanks, I'll give that a try after work tonight.

I didn't notice this last night because it was late and I was connected to wi-fi, but my own SIM card (or any other SIM card that I try) won't work in the phone now. Emergency calls only in all cases, and no data connection.

What on earth has happened?
[Desire General] reddev0:
No idea, if you can get sdcard working again try restoring a nandroid or wiping and flash rom again?

It just worked for me, although it did complain when I swaped my t-mobile sim to vodaphone and back again. I just had to reboot phone and re-enter my google credentials...
[Desire General] waynefox:
Will try again tonight. Although I've tried 2 3 sim cards. One from a different network and no sim card and none worked
[Desire General] olaso:
Hello, I have tried it several times and I thought it worked becouse I was able to make to calls on the new Network

But, after restarting the phone It stopped working and It only says

"No SIM card in phone"

Nothing about "Network lock" or "Insert PIN", It makes nothing. With the original Orange SIM it works

Any ideas? Is there any way to undo, just to make the unlock by IMEI?

This is the data of my desire:

PVT1, HBOOT 0.93.1000 S-ON, RADIO 5.14.05.17, Orange 2.22.75.3
[Desire General] sieempi:
It did work, but something else not related to the app happened.. Check the sim contacts
[Desire General] olaso:
No contacts or sign of SIM data.

I have also made a factory reset and I have gone again through the steps several times and It always says that everything is ok (but remains the same).

I have tried with sd/no sd/goldcard/original sim/new sim/no sim.... a lot of combinations

I don't know it it is important or not. My Desire had problems with restarts and at HTC Service they have changed my board, what means a new IMEI so I lost my previous Unlock.

Also when It worked, the telephone got quite "hot", as if it was working a lot.
[Desire General] sieempi:
You probably have a refurbished board. If the sim cards are ok, than your phone might have a hardware problem (unrelared to this app) and you should contact your service. One more thing to try before, though, see what happens with different radios.
[Desire General] olaso:
It is strange becouse with original Orange SIM card It works without problems, I will try other radios.

Regards
[Desire General] sieempi:
There's something else then.. Certain operators sell their phones set up only for their network and you have to set it back to default values. I'm not an expert, but you could do it with fastboot oem writeconfig x xxxx, or just simple fastboot oem eraseconfig. You could also play with the hidden menu where you can change certain parameters. Or even change

radio nvdata with QXDM...
[Desire General] sjgore:
@reddev0: That worked!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

My SD card is now recognised again, and I was able to do a nandroid restore. Everything up and running again as normal.

I could hug you!!!! :cool:
[Desire General] slukk:
Cool man! Thanks.
[Desire General] olaso:
Ufff I am a newbie, I has only been able to execute "fastboot oem eraseconfig" but remains the same (the other things I don't know what you are talking about).

Also I have tested several radios/roms but nothing new. Now for instance I have "0.93.1000 S-OFF, RADIO 5.14.05.17, CM7".

With Orange's SIMs everything correct, with others It says "no sim" and It doesn't even ask for the PIN number.

Is there any way to "go back" to the original status or you know if exists any way to enter a paid unlock code after doing this process?

Rembember that my phone board is only 3 days old so I probably have the latest "everything" on my phone (bug fixes, etc...)
[Desire General] sieempi:
Flash a WWE	RUU and see if it's asking for the network unlock code. If it does, run the app again until it doesn't. I've heard that certain operators removed the enter network unlock code part..you probably also had a false positive..
[Desire General] olaso:
Hello, I have an update, after installing a WWE RUU and rerunning your program I have the most stable behaviour.

I execute the program, and It seems it works. I have an unlocked phone, but after 15 minutes (more or less) It seems that the telephone does some kind of rule checks against the SIM, and it loses signal. If I change to airplane mode and I come back, then It says that there is no SIM.

From that point I restart and It always says that no SIM present. The only way to get out from there is starting the phone with an Orange SIM and after that I have another 15 minutes of an unlocked phone.

I hope that might help to understand what it is going on (In my opinion It looks as a security locking check that remains active)

[Desire General] parvez098:
i know its silly. but am unable to burn the iso and make the cd bootable. am stuck in this. have used many softwares like poweriso, magiciso and roxio, but connot make the bootable cd. can any one help me in this with which file to burn and how?
[Desire General] leepa123:
HTC Desire HD?

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to do this for the HTC Desire HD?

Thanks!
[Desire General] reddev0:
ImageBurn. if your having problems download the iso again, maybe you have a corrupt download.
[Desire General] reddev0:
Nope, not with this any how.
[Desire General] vujacic:
Finally

My HTC Desire is finally unlocked. TNX for such great application.
[Desire General] parvez098:
cannot write

i dwnloaded imgburn. tried the burn the isolinux image file which is a .bin and burn it. but it says not supported. which file exactly shud i burn to work and how do i make that bootable? if anyone can tell me in details it wud be of great help. cant use the desire.
[Desire General] reddev0:
HTC-Desire-unlock_v0.2a.iso is an ISO Cd image file. Any half decent burning software can read/burn it, including ImgBurn.

I don't know what file you have that is a .bin file. You could try renaming it to .iso, or, probably better, download it again.
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Certainly :) i just know that orange like to lock things really tightly if they can help it . Which is why a lot of the locked phones you see on ebay are orange :)

Burnt the ISO to disk using Nero. Booted PC OK. Reported done, go buy me a beer.

Will retry it again later. phone is on Three network in UK.
[Desire General] DTBrum:
Tried the updated version Feb 8th v0.02 this morning. Worked like a charm, 1st time. Now unlocked. I feel a beer may be on it's way later. What a great tool.
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
People have called me that before lmao glad you are sorted and i agree the dev deserves a beer for this one
[Desire General] andreigherghe:
DANM AWESOME!

Worked perfectly via VMware :)

Thank you!

EDIT: Still says "Network locked : Please contact customer care" :(

I'm S-OFF, rooted, running custom rom.

Phone was locked to Vodafone, i tried Orange SIM
[Desire General] sieempi:
As I said about false positives..

Try booting the iso from a CD or a usb-stick using this tool. Try at least a couple of times.
[Desire General] focallength:
Wowsers! Tried it using a USB loaded using Unetbootin. Worked first time! So very grateful. I had actually simunlocked my phone previously but it was relocked when HTC replaced the mainboard when I did a warranty return.

Phone details:

0.93 using oxygen HBoot table S-Off

Orange network

Verified as working using voda SIM.

MANY THANKS!
[Desire General] ahac85:
leedroid 2.2f

hboot 0.80

tmobile, unlocked now to all networks used v0.1 to unlock

thanks for the utility, i think it should be in development area

edit: i take it warranty is now void? would a nandroid restore make it locked again??
[Desire General] randomelements:
A nandroid will have no bearing on locked state. The fact that you have rooted and have a custom recovery installed has already technically voided your warranty.
[Desire General] andrewanemic:
SuperCID?

Using this method, is there a way to flash a superCID?
[Desire General] ahac85:
yeh ur right, however flashing an RUU rom puts it back to its original state when you first got the phone, i.e. losing root and custom recovery?? so im wondering would that me it would get locked again??
[Desire General] daniel1braila:

[Desire General] Aragornhr:
Noob question

How can i know if my desire is CDMA or GSM?
[Desire General] shorty_blitz:
If you have a sim card then its gsm! Some phones have built in sims and they are cdma.
[Desire General] Aragornhr:
Thanks!

GSM phone here, then. Later i will try to unlock it.

No HBoot USBplug

HI

Thanks for this utility. IT seems to have worked for a number of people but I seem to have a problem. I follow the instructions up to the point that it asks you to connect the USB lead and then press any key once HBoot USBPlug appears.

The USB lead works when phone on and off but not when in HBoot mode. Any suggestions please.

Here is the info on the phone if it helps.

[Desire General] krytak:
When i am flashing different alpharev hboot table (CM7, STOCK, DATA++, ...) with PB99IMG.ZIP from mSD card ==> i am getting CID error (what i read, its error for

branded phones

). So its working only trought *.IMG (fastboot commander).

Can i fix it with your program? I would like to be able to use only my mSD card :)
[Desire General] Filiab:
Could I use the USB boot drive on a Mac and get the same results?
[Desire General] reddev0:
Yes bootable USB flash drive should work.
[Desire General] reddev0:
Unlikely, don't think this utility touches the CID.

You need a gold card to flash updates that check CID (including RUU's, needed if you want to restore your phone to stock incase you need to send it back for repair).

They are easy to make, and can be done even after you have rooted/flashed a custom rom. Check the Desire forums for a walkthrough, think it's in the General forum.
[Desire General] olaso:
I am not sure now after so many changes, but I might have had this new Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 when I first run your program.

So that could be the origin of my problems?

(And on the other hand, you wouldn't have a script or something like that to undo your unlock?)

Regards
[Desire General] sieempi:
There can be another solution: find someone with an XTC clip and erase ALL S58 security using the provided solution. This worked for some devices with similar issues after unlocking (with various methods). If it still won't, I can only think of a hardware problem..
[Desire General] pelucagbh:
thanx man...so fast so easy!!!!

keep rocking!!!
[Desire General] olaso:
I have tried that and It didn't work. Even worse, after clearing S58 now It doesn't recognise the Orange SIM cards, so I have a brick.

On the other hand I suppose that if it doesn't work with Orange's SIMs I think I can send it to the HTC technical service and they will probably fix it.

Any ideas else before doing that?

PS. By the way, do you know how to get S-ON after clearing S58?

*edit*

I am still not having any luck I am still being prompted for sim network unlock code... I boot the utility the I boot my phone into hboot and then plug it in and then hit enter.. I feel ready to give up cuz I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong if anything.. I just got a blackberry with my new Rogers contract and blackberry will be unlocked today and given to my gf to use with fido since I want to use my telus desire with my Rogers to avoid having to use the blackberry lol.. should I have my telus sim in when I attempt the unlock? The telus account has no service currently but that's a seperate issue lol. I'm not sure what I could possibly be missing..

There were errors a few of the times but never anything mentioning the simlock just USB related as far as I could tell...I am booting off of a USB micro SD .. I only have access to a netbook at the moment. Is there a way to do it manually using a Linux live distro and inputting the commands?
[Desire General] tytbeatz:
*edit* woo hoo finally it worked :) you're awesome .

Are there any commands I can run with fastboot that might give a clue if I post the output? I have had the phone reboot more than a few times when it said done but I still get prompted for a code..
[Desire General] ddv911:
great ,worked for me
[Desire General] primal2005:
Does this unlock method wipe/factory reset the phone or does it leave everything as is and just applies the sim unlock?

Just wondering, the only other experience I've had with unlocking was with my Nexus S and it did a factory reset.

Thanks!

There's no wiping involved.

Hi,

I just unlocked my HTC Desire. It was locked to T-Mobile Hungary, and I confirmed it with a Telenor Hungary SIM card, tested 3G/mobile-internet. WORKED!!!!! :D

Boot from CD-> Connected the phone in HBOOT-->pressed a key on PC-->

it displayed some kind of errors, but the last line was: DONE

go buy me a beer or sg like that. :)

And WORKED. So thank you a lot!! Saved me around 20$! :D:D:D:D

I guess you did something wrong, you shouldn't have had that ruu message. Just make sure you actually boot the computer from the cd, and follow the steps you find in this thread to the letter. It has a certain latency in comunication for some of you guys, don't know why, but keep trying, it will eventually work.

well after you booted up the disc you should be on a black screen..remove the battery on your phone..1..2..put it back in, then hold the volume down key..then hold the power button..dont let go till you see a white screen with some stuff about your phone..like the radio version, pvt version and so on...then lok at the screen of your computer it will tell you what to do..then tap your head while drinking a redbul...
