[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Its clearly a gsm device, since he is clearly talking about how it used to work with his gsm sim cards and how its now locked. Also mentions swapping sims. Using the sim slot and other sim talk...
[Desire General] riahc3:
He may think it is a GSM device and from this vague description we also may think that, but we need to confirm it.

Again, with my tutorial, it worked the first time around. There is pretty much NO reason why it shouldnt work the first time around in another case.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
:confused: i still don't know how you can think that its a possibility that he does not have a gsm device. given what he has stated. Either he lies or common sense is lacking here.

At any rate, i've contacted him. its a timing issue. I will see if i can walk him through unlocking it via sending the commands manually rather then using the boot utility or any parts of it.

sim unlock utility for htc desire

Hi downloaded utility burnt iso followed instructions to the letter got to the part where it says you can now buy me a beer ! thought wayhay! im on o2 uk thought id try a orange sim first no luck network locked:confused: then tried a t-mobile sim same message asking for unlock code any ideas? even ran it again no luck looks like might have to pay htc unlock instead of buying you a beer:mad:
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:

If there were a *fall down and worship* button for Mr. X, I'd push it, but please accept my Thanks instead!

Thanks again all.

[Desire General] ptm_tsm:
Worked very nicely for me on a first-generation Desire from Softbank in Japan, with a T-mobile prepaid card in the US.

I don't feel like grabbing the version numbers from the boot screen, but I will mention that when I ran the tool with the original Softbank SIM card inserted, I couldn't run the phone with the T-mobile card.

When I got home and tried again with the T-mobile card inserted, it worked like a charm!

Thanks so much, I'll definitely paypal you a couple beers' worth in the next couple days!
[Desire General] :
Does it work on Wildfire?
[Desire General] ozripcurl:
Thank you for unlocking my Softbank Japan HTC Desire.

After couples of dozens of failures, it finally worked.

I did with cd, usb, w/o or with various sim many times but got nowhere.

In the course I changed various settings of the phone without knowing they were relevant to the result or not. The last shot ( it worked well ) was after being off the airplane mode.

Is this something to do with the result?
[Desire General] techtechnique:
Hi - just wanted to add my two-pennyworth...

SimLock - 3UK

EDIT - Just burned the CD and booted from my laptop (was trying via VMware before). At first I got a pile of USB errors when the Linux OS was booting up. I then disconnected all the USB devices until I got to the point where it asks for you to press any key. The phone rebooted eventually and bugger me, IT WORKS!!!

For anyone else trying this, I did it with my original SIM in the phone, then waited for the reboot, shut the phone down and then put in the SIM from the other network.
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Like ive suggested VM is not the best choice. you're adding in one more layer that could cause you issues.

as for it not working im fairly sure its a timing issue. If seempi wants to shoot me the source i can update this for him to fix the false positives. I have not had a failed or false positive unlock yet whilst running the unlocking commands by hand in ubuntu so i am almost 100% its a timing issue built into the boot cd.

[Desire General] Lironcareto:
It worked without errors, and said "Done" and asked for a beer... but now Google Talk is unusable and any attempt to reinstall an apl for google talk service or google talk application has been frustrating... I really used a lot gtalk with buddies and family and now I cannot restore it to operating status.

Anyone has suffered the same? Anyone has any hint to solve this?

Thanks
[Desire General] Lironcareto:
Gtalk became unusable after unlock

[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
I can assure you that gtalk breaking has nothing to do with the sim unlock procedure. However if you have switched sim cards it will require you to put in your pass word for your gmail account under GMail or Market before any google apps that require authentication will work.

[Desire General] dknova:
This worked great.

I tried this first by mounting the ISO into VMware, then trying the unlock 10 times. But it failed.

Burned the ISO, boot to the CD tried the unlock twice and then it worked.

Thanks for the unlock.
[Desire General] sieempi:
This is not related to sim unlock, you've probably done something else (like flashing radios/changing settings/etc). If not, maybe a bad sim; contact your operator.
[Desire General] richlee007:
Thanks for the reply I wasn't sure what caused it I didn't think it was the unlock just thought I might have to flash something else or I was missing something I only flashed radio after to check whether that could be the cause but still no luck :( I think it may just be a brick now cause I can't get it to make calls or text :(

[Desire General] daytripper99:
I can't thank you enough for this. Very skeptical at first, tried using VMware but gave up and burnt it to a cd.

For anyone having trouble, here's what I did:

Booted up my laptop from CD rom (from the boot menu), started my phone while pressing the volume down button and plugged it to the laptop via USB (according to directions). It took about 2-3 more minutes tops, and said the unlock was successful. Tried putting a different sim in (an Indian sim, on a three phone from the UK), and it's working fine without any problems.

Thanks for this free unlock hack, we need more people like you. Hate phone manufacturers and networks locking down phones.
[Desire General] heraSK:
well, i've tried everything here and nothing worked. booting from cd, from usb memory stick with unetbootin, from virtual machine....every time it says done, buy beer (only two times it didn't)...i've tried it like 20+ times and nothing. can this mean that some phones aren't unlockable...? i've seen posts in this thread from people with desire on HR VIP network (croatia) like myself, and they've done it with only first try. i'm not sure about radio and other numbers but i think they're the same. i really don't get it.... :-((

does anybody know some other method beside buying unlock key?
[Desire General] intelduo:
Hi,

do I need to put other sim card or I can use sim card of the carrier desire is locked on in order to unlock the phone?
[Desire General] Soupisgoodfood:
Worked perfectly for me to unlock a Telus (Canada) Desire. Now using on the Bell network. I used Unetbootin to make a bootable USB key from the image.

Are you properly following all the instructions? Waiting until the boot screen changes before connecting it to the PC?
[Desire General] heraSK:
Yes i am. I've followed every suggestion mentioned here. :-(

[Desire General] intelduo:
I have to report that I followed same procedure as recommended and my phone is still locked. I used both sim card provided from carrier phone is locked to, sim from another network and I even tried without sim but that resulted in phone not rebooting at all after "Success" message. When I used sim card(s) phone rebooted almost every time as a sign of successful unlock but I was every time regarded with SIM unlock pin request. I have no idea how to proceed. :confused:

Hi!

It works perfectly, thank you (donation sent)!! ;)

Details of my Desire:

-blocked by spanish Orange,

-HBoot 0.93.0001

-Radio 5-11.05.14

-run from a dvd-rw

-I've had to run it 6 times for it to work (no error messages)
[Desire General] Electrocut:
It works on my Desire too. The SimLock utility was very useful, since my provider couldn't find the unlock code for my phone (And I was getting tired to call them again and again for this...)

I had to use the software 3 times for it to work (first time my phone rebooted but was still SimLocked, second times my phone didn't reboot, the thirst time it was good !!)

I burned the ISO on a CD-RW.

Thank you so much :)

Thanks bro !

Your method is brilliant ! after 10 minutes i unlock my HTC Desire Romanian Vodafone edition and now i use Cosmote SIM ! Multumesc si tine-o tot asa !

How to use SIM-Unlock Utility v0.2a by sieempi , baby steps,...

Download software .iso from fileshare link see original post (must be 11,7 mb)

With Nero burn image to disk to make a bootable cd from iso file

Restart your PC booting from this CD

Connect the usb cable to your HTC Desire and reboot the phone by holding volume down key and power key in the same time

Press ENTER on PC keyboard and in 10 seconds you're phone will restart. If so, is now UNLOCKED ! If not, repeat the steps it will work ! I promise !

Thanks sieempi for all the trouble !!! Romanian people RULES ! :)

Thanks for the kind words and the tiny tut!
[Desire General] Dr.Thrilla:
I want to thank you so much for this.

It took me no more then 10mins including downloading,burning and rebooting.

I was on spanish vodafone but now I use the other providers a well.

But I dont want thank you just for that.

My phone has been the last 2 weeks very slow and I tried different roms with full wipes. But it didnt help at all, the phone stayed slow.

Gave up 2 days ago and was already looking intensifly lookin for a replacement because I was convinced it was my Desire.

I already had a buyer for it but when I wanted to test the buyer´s simcard to know for sure it worked, I found that my phone was simlocked.

After using your utility I accindently put my simcard in the phone insead of the buyers.

And it was like a miracle happend my phone is all of a sudden lightning fast.

I dont know what it did but it fixed my phone and unlocked it at the same time.

I will go the bank next week to make sure I can donate you because you definitely deserve it.

PS: You only make the buyer unhappy cause im not selling it now.:)

I tried Daemon tools but did not work. Burned iso using ImgBurn. Rebooted laptop and program started automatically. When it says connect phone to pc, switch on phone with vol-Down held down. when phone says HBOOT USB PLUG the utility will do some stuff and it should say unlock done or something similar.

I was locked to T-mobile and had this sim in my phone when i tried this. Unlock successful popped up. Tried O2 sim - did not work.

I did this whole process again with O2 sim this time - unlock successful. This time O2 now works!!! Yay. I dont know if i have to do this with different sim to get to unlock with it. Will try another sim.

thanks DEV

[Desire General] sieempi:
Using this or updating radio won't affect root or s-off. As for radio version, I think you should try some of them and see which one is better regarding network signal strength, gps lock, bluetooth, battery consumption etc.. they vary with lots of things. I'm using the latest version and I can't complain.

[Desire General] sieempi:
Make sure you followed the steps in the correct order. You should press enter after you see HBOOT change to HBOOT USB PLUG.
[Desire General] jumarstar:
These are the steps I followed.

1. Boot up the virtual machine, Start the phone by pressing volume down and power

2. When Virtual machine says plug in, plugged in the usb into phone

3. Phone displays HBOOT USB PLUG, then pressed key on computer keyboard

then I get the error message. I did not do anything on the phone other than plug the cable in. Do I need to do anything on the menu options, like go to SIMLOCK?
[Desire General] sieempi:
Using virtual machines is trickier, you have to let the VM manage the usb device (there are more steps involved, depending on the software you're using). Check out the documentation that it came with, or just burn the cd or use the usb boot method..
[Desire General] jumarstar:

[Desire General] riahc3:
It wont work. Different hardware inside.

Its a shame the utility isnt updated for other devices but I imagine he doesnt want to because he (himself) cant test it out with other devices.
[Desire General] sieempi:
The so called "flaw" is patched on almost any other devices. Desire is one of the last devices vulnerable so far for this technique, I strongly don't recomend applying future OTA/RUU updates; update safely..
