Stick it in your cd drive and boot from cd when you power on your pc, your pc BIOS should have a boot from cd option, go into it and have a look or check the website for your pc/motherboard instructions.

Unlock or hardware

Almost perfect. Got it working. Unlocked on orange network and put a 3 sim card in. Can make calls no problem. However major problem I now have is the 3G data connection won't work. Can't get an Internet connection unless I have a wifi connection???? Anyone help? Is this a hardware problem or has the unlock caused this???
[Desire General] tommo123:

Is there any tutorial for using SIM-Unlock Utility v0.2a? I've downloaded the files but I'm stuck with the ISO file...

I too had 1 error and also unlocked it successfully in second attempt. Freedom, finally!!

I wanted to check my network signal as I was afraid of this problem. I don't think that Nokia's signal can be compared to HTC's as it would be like apples and pears. Luckily, I have two HTC Desire phones (one which is still locked and this unlocked one) and both of them have Speedtest app installed. Test result is more-less the same. I did at least 10 tests. So far, no issue with signal.

Hi there!

My phone wasn't network locked when I bought it (and I checked that with my mobile phone provider..), but now that I am in australia and try to put a sim card from here, I keep on getting this "SIM network unlock PIN" message, and i really can't figure out what to do about it!

Indeed, even this tool doesn't work, I also tried to install a whole bunch of different radios, as well as RILs, but still nothing...

Would you know how I could have ****ed up my phone, and what I could try to fix that? I'm starting being desperate here..

Here are some information about my phone:

[Desire General] sieempi:
If you're getting that message it's definitely locked. Keep using this app, it will eventually work.
[Desire General] abarreir:
In this case, I'm part of the false positives, as the app always tells me the unlock was successful (I tried it at least 10 times, but still nothing...)

[Desire General] GrinningArmor:
Is there a difference between Desires unlocked via this method and via IMEI with the proper code from my carrier?

Can this be undone? Can IMEI unlock be done after it?

I'm tempted to try it, but afraid it might work only halfway (e.g. unlocking only a few carriers and not all of them, or something like that) and having no way to go back or unlock fully via the usual means.
[Desire General] sieempi:
It can be undone but with a new unlock code, different from your provider's.

If you need to relock it, pm me your imei and I'll give you the solution.

After using this app, the phone will be either unlocked for all networks, or still locked..

Worked perfect, only took 2 tries.. genius!! many many thanks.
[Desire General] Poodles!:
Don't know if anyone else has come accross a problem like this, but I've tried dozens of times and it seems to be only "half unlocked". It says it's successful every time, yet when I put in a sim card other than T-Mobile, the original network, I recieve no signal.

With my 3 SIM card, It displays the correct phone number in Settings > About Phone > Phone Identity. But have no signal or connection of any kind. With a Talk Mobile SIM it's the same but just says "unknown" for the number.

With a Virgin Mobile SIM it has signal and a data connection, so I can use the internet, yet when I try to make a call it just beeps and then cuts off, and if anyone tries to call me it just says something along the lines of "the number is unavailable. The Virgin SIM worked like this prior to using the app though, presumably because Virgin use the T-Mobile network here in the UK.

I'll try out some other networks at some point. It's odd that it seems to be 'half unlocked', allowing me to access the handset with another SIM in it, but unable to pick up a signal or read the SIM correctly.

Anyway, here's the handset details, and I'm booting from from a CD.

I have this exact same problem.

I have performed the SIM-Unlock several times using both a CD and a USB stick and it always reports back as having been successful.

However, when I switch from my original Orange SIM to anything else (I've tried a 3, O2 and giffgaff PAYG SIM), the phone reports the correct number and APN settings but refuses to connect to the network.

I have tried manually selecting the network and that doesn't work either.

For some reason this also wouldn't work on my Softbank Desire (debranded to EU firmware, S-OFF, etc), so I followed the advice and went to htcimeiunlock and have an unlock code in 12 minutes to be exact.

Hi,

I am trying to use this utility to unlock a HTC Desire currently locked to Orange network (UK). The phone is otherwise untouched and I want to use my O2 simcard with it.

I have followed these steps;

Burnt the iso file to a CD and booted up the PC from it

Powered up the phone into HBOOT (using power and volume down buttons). Bear in mind I have left the old Orange sim card in at this stage.

Plugged the phone into usb and pressed any key.

Waited for attempted sim-unlock and then had the Successful message (now buy beer etc..)

I then take the previous Orange sim card out and put my O2 sim card in and power up the phone but it always still says it is sim locked. I have repeated the about several times and it doesn’t work.

What am I missing? Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks.

As a follow up to my post above, I got it to work!
