I've unlocked my 3 handset using this tool.

It wouldn't work using the iso on a virtual machine or on a bootable USB. The process reports success but does not reboot phone.

It wouldn't work on 1 laptop and 1 new PC from CD rom - got all kinds of strange errors.

Finally worked from CD on my mums older P4 computer. Phone reboots as part of the process (took 3 or 4 attempts after I finally got it to start rebooting).

Keep trying and try other computers.

hi guys,

i have a big problem.I get a phone on Three Uk network. Used this application everything went fine, phone was rebooting, after i put an O2 simcard.Phone did not ask for a network code so seems to be ok, but cant connect to the network says " the sim card does not allow a connection to this network".Tried with Vodafone uk simcard and the same problem.Finally tried with Three uk simcard and not working as well, so now i cant use any simcard :(

Any suggestion what can be wrong?

Please help!!!

Thanks

Did you let the phone reboot fully?

What software version / rom are you running?

Are you rooted?

S-On or Off?

20000 or 40000 blocksize? (not that it should matter but good to know when fault finding)

Try messing around with network selection in settings. Does it scan available operators?

Check simcard and socket for fluff/damage.

Report back.
[Desire General] killerno:
hi,

yes the phone was rebooting fully.

now RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 running on it.

Unrooted at the moment, but tried to root it as well and got the same.

S-on

It does scan all the networks, find all of them, but i cant connect shows the same message " the sim card does not allow a connection to this network" .

Tried almost every setting :( I am very confused.

Maybe the phone is blocked or blacklisted after the unlock? :S

What else can i do?

thanks
[Desire General] Shiftone:
What sim cards have you tried?

What country are you in - UK?

Is the phone definitely legit - no chance of it having been reported stolen or lost?

There is no way this utility would blacklist the phone. This is done by operators using the phone IMEI if the phone is reported lost/stolen.
[Desire General] killerno:
Hi,

Thank for the answer. I contacted with Three Uk and yes you are right the IMEI is blocked/blacklisted. Now i contacted with the seller and if he does not solve it i gonna report it to the police and make a dispute on paypal.

Unfortunately i did not make a backup of the official Three Uk rom.I would like to put it back. Can someone do it for me or where can i find?

The latest what i found is RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_..> 27-May-2010 17:38 . I think is too old not even supports the SLCD screen.

Thank you!
[Desire General] Shiftone:
There are no stock RUUs available for 3uk SLCD Desires. The only ones that were leaked were for AMOLED and these will brick your phone.
[Desire General] killerno:
Thanks.And it is possible to make a backup from a different Three UK Desire handset and use it on my?(e.g. with nandroid backup)
[Desire General] Shiftone:
I imagine so - as long as the hardware were identical; but I am not certain.

Super Good!

Prea bun frate. Ms frumos. Esti cel mai bun. Dar intrebarea e cat dureaza free lock-ul? Dispare daca fac root la telefon? Ms.

This is too good to be true. Pretty simple and easy to use. Only one fact to mention: on the first attempt I had my Vodafone Sim (on which the phone was locked) and it didn't work, after this I switched with Orange Sim and it worked from the first attempt.

Thank you very much. One barrel of beer from me :D. Finally I can throw this Vodafone Sim to garbage.

My desire is from Softbank and i think that's where the problem is. I put a docomo sim in my phone and i can make calls, but i get no data. I've tried connecting to the standard docomo apn's and others i found on the internet. no luck. I'm guessing this might have to do with the CID. I've searched and searched literally for hours about CID, supercid, and any related subject you could imagine. Any knowledge or answers welcomed.

[Desire General] UsManyDead:
Try untill it works...it will!

I recommend introducing another SIM in your phone (for example you are on VODAFONE and want to unlock, so put another SIM, ORANGE for example) and then try the software. As I mentioned before, it didn't work for me in the first attempt with my VODAF SIM in, but when I switched and tried again with a ORANGE SIM it unlocked in the first attempt. Maybe it needs other SIM than the one your phone is locked one, since it needs to do some writing in the phone, it should take some info from the SIM too. This is only my thought. You should give it a try. This is also true for the user astral985.

[Desire General] reddev0:
You need to either burn the iso image to cd or usb flash drive and boot your pc with it, or boot a virtual machine (e.g. Virtual box) from the iso. It's a live image, cd mounting utils are useless to you...
[Desire General] beartiger:

There could be one of the following:

- barred phone (maybe stolen?)

-bad sim/lead contacts

-incorrect settings (sometimes the operator hardcodes the netework settings: aditional things must be done)

-outserviced sim

-etc.. (contact your operator)

The phone could still be network locked, but because of a branded (custom) rom, the ask-for-network-unlock-code part is missing. Flash a wwe ruu and check if anything changes. (if it's asking for the unlock code, just retry this app until it works)
[Desire General] Vermillon:
- no, not stolen, believe me. Bought from a friend, who has bought it in UK

- bad sim/lead contacts ? I don't understand..

- which additional things ?

- the SIM is still good, we tried with the operator

I flashed it to CM7, just to inform you.

I tried the WWE RUU, but I have a message error about the USB : phone not connected...

Hi sieempi,

I tried to unlock my Desire, tried 3 different SIM, after a few tests in 3 computers, different ROM from HTC, Leedroid, S-ON and S-OFF, changed radio version and it finally seemed to have worked. The problem now is that my phone does not find any network, for every network it says that I can make "limited calls only", even with the original branded SIM.

The HTC Desire is orginally branded as an Orange France.

My question is: How could I restore the state before the software-unlock, in order to have the opportunity to enter the normal 8 digits-code to unlock it with the standard way?

Thanks in advance :)

( and thank you for your job because it seems to have worked for some guys )
[Desire General] Vermillon:
Ok ! The solution is not so far anymore !

I did again the Gold Card, I finaly was able to downgrad the phone to 2.1 and updated it to 2.2 using RUU_WWE.

But the phone still cannot connect to the network (Base).

I think Base is 3 in UK.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but the phone should be able to connect

without

the Gold Card in it, right ? If yes, what I have to do now ?

How to boot?

I had burn the iso into a CD, then how to boot from it?
[Desire General] leecavturbo:
most pc's are set to look at the cd-rom first so it should boot if the cd is in the drive.

if not check your bios boot order/config and if needed make cd-rom boot order before hardrive.

did you use unetbootin etc to burn iso to disc?
[Desire General] Vermillon:
Press F10 when you computer is starting (during the bios), and choose to boot on the CD.

Boot only from cd or usb flash drive...and it does not really assist in updating to 2.3, for that you need to root and flash custom recovery; also s-off helps. See UnRevoked and AlphaRev threads for that. also see oxygen rom thread, best 2.3 custom rom in my humble opinion.
