Guys, don't forget that when talking about drivers on android devices we're actually talking about a set of two drivers: adb and hboot/fastboot. The latter one is most of the time ignored (/forgotten), that's why you probably have that 'waiting for hboot' issue.

Via XDA App
[Desire General] gjm126:
I'm running Windows 7.

I don't seem able to update the Android 1.0 driver in the devices panel. It shows up with and orange exclamation mark, but says that "no drivers are required or installed".

I did manage to get the device panel to display and ADB Device, but it made no difference - the unlock v0.9.5 tool still wouldn't complete, displaying the interminable rows of dots. (I now know I'm not the only person with that problem!)

I still think it is the Android 1.0 driver which is causing the problem. Booting the phone and connecting it while running shows an "Android Composite ADB Interface" under a heading of "Android Phone". Running the application at this stage causes an error, forcing the Unlock tool to close.

Disconnect the phone, run the application and it invites me to connect the phone. Do this and I'm back to where I was earlier:

"HTC Desire SIM-Unlock Utility v0.9.5

by sieempi

No device found!

Please enable ADB and connect your phone to the computer!

Waiting for device!...................

Found HTC Desire (Bravo) with serial number: HT043PL03853!

Your phone will restart to hboot and then shortly reboot to Android.

Although this is a brick-free solution, do not disconnect the phone from the

computer during this procedure, nor navigate in hboot menu.

Error 13a: AdbReadEndpointSync returned error 31

Waiting for hboot!............................................................."

My head is starting to hurt! I'm obviously missing something somewhere, but can anyone tell me what?

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Probably the hboot/fastboot drivers... D'oh.
[Desire General] sieempi:
Why don't you try the iso version?

Via XDA App
[Desire General] gjm126:
I'm slowly working my way back through the versions you've supplied - .iso is next! :)
[Desire General] gjm126:
I think I'm there... Although I'm not sure why. I don't think I've done anything that I'd not tried before but I finally saw the 'force unlock' message.

Now... Where's that SIM card gone? That'll be the real test.
[Desire General] mmspajk:
sieempi could you make this app to unlock Desire after official update 2.3.3 Android without downgrade hboot etc.? or is it to hard ?
[Desire General] xxxlux:
please advise

SIM unlock does not work for me, the program does not recognize my Desire. Could the reason be hboot 6.93.1002

[Desire General] Zgembo:
Can't unlock, Alpharev problem?

EDIT: Funny thing here on my PC, it wouldn't work with front panel USB port no matter what i tried, but it worked with another USB port on the back of the case on first try. This could have been a conflict with another USB device on a same bus or something, but I wonder why adb/fastboot worked at first place when unlock wouldn't?!? Thank you sieempi, owe you a beer!

sieempi, all,

Please help, I've tried Linux ISO, all 0.9.x versions, nothing works. Phone would reboot when unlocker is started, but it stays forever at HBOOT USB PLUG mode. (Waiting for hboot!....). There is nothing wrong with USB, adb or fastboot, all usual commands would work under both Linux & Win7.

Same result from CD

USB made with app linked in this post finally started rebooting my phone.

Was giving errors (either 4 or a whole screen full each time) - failed to unlock 4 or 5 times (despite saying successful and rebooting phone)

finally just did it.

[Desire General] agramagram:
Does it matter

Does it matter what sim is inserted in your phone when you try to do unlock?
[Desire General] sieempi:
It shouldn't matter, but I can't guarantee that. At least it doesnt for me and some others. I've seen reports saying that you should take out the sim, but I guess they had false positives and it was only a coincidence that it worked after removing the sim. It would've eventually work.

I've tried a total of 12 times, 4 times each on one of three PCs (2 different desktop PCs and my older laptop). The desktop PCs just gave me errors when transferring (urb errors I think they said) and then the phone would reboot, the laptop gave me no errors and the phone rebooted, but still wouldn't accept my Orange SIM card. Any ideas?

edit - never mind, I think there was some fluff on the card or something. I pulled the SIM out, gave it a wipe, gave the contacts a wipe then put it back in. This time, when I boot up there's no notifications, but the phone is in "Emergency Calls Only" mode (good signal though). Then WaveSecure popped up and asked for my PIN, and when I entered the PIN it popped up a message saying "SIM added to safe SIM list". So I think the SIM unlock has worked after all and the phone can see the Orange SIM, but I'm testing with a SIM card which is so old that Orange have de-registered it hence emergency only.

I've had some problems with it but got it to work. Tried 0.95 and 0.94 on the laptop with XP SP3 32 bit and on the computer with Windows 7 SP1 x64, it just got stuck at Waiting on HBOOT... Then I looked while waiting for hboot in the device manager, and Android 1.0 was not recognised, I have right clicked on it and installed the unzipped driver android-usb-driver.zip from http://www.sieempi.eu/blog/2011/08/17/desire-sim-unlock-v0-9-390 It automagically worked then, thanks mate!

Using only the app with the phone in normal mode it said that my phone wasnt suported.

Many thanks

[Desire General] Shaizer:
I am seeing too many people complaining about driver when there is a very simple solution.

Here is my step by step guide for the windows version that worked for me (thanks to rotmann's comment above):

1. Download and unzip android-usb-driver.zip from sieempi's site : http://www.sieempi.eu/data/download.php?id=4

Also Download and unzip the HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5.rar from first post of thread

2. Put phone into HBOOT mode by turning off and then turning on with volume down button held down.

3. After it checked SD card etc. plug USB cable and it should state HBOOT USB PLUG

4. Go into Device manager and look for Android 1.0 Device - right click and select update driver - browser to the folder where you extracted the usb driver and select OK. It should install the driver (select yes to any security prompt)

5. Once the driver is installed, run the adb.exe provided in the HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5.rar and a command should open and close (don't know if it is necessary but it worked for me)

6. Run the HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5.exe - a command prompt should open and it should immediately find the phone - then type y to confirm and press enter.

When finished the command prompt should state DONE! etc. and your phone should reboot - Unlocked :)

This is the method that worked for me, however there are people with later version of HBOOT which need to be downgraded which I can't help you with sorry :(
[Desire General] chevli:
Yeah, it is all about the drivers installed on your computer.
[Desire General] Neoo330:

[Desire General] Kestrel038:
Tried the windows version but for some reason it would not automatically reboot to hboot.. possibly the rom I'm running (Runnymede AIO latest version running on CM7/r2 HBOOT (6.093.1002).. )

Eventually I downloaded and burned the linux ISO, after a couple of dodgy burns I had a perfect run.. connected phone and hit the spacebar.. waited.. got Done message.. rebooted T-mobile branded Desire with O2 sim card and voila.. service available :)

Odd question. Is there any way to 're-lock' the phone to a network after having unlocked it using this excellent tool? I successfully unlocked my HTC Desire using this tool but shortly after (completely coincidental) the phone started to play up and I might need to send it back to T-Mobile (under warranty) for repair. However, I understand that unlocking probably voids the warranty?

Hi @all, this is my first post.

After reading lots of posts in this thread, I'm trying to unlock my Desire Bravo and as my first attempt, I didn't have success.

Without installing HTC Sync utility your software can't detect any pluged device. Once installed and after running the unlocker...

Result was the error: inconsistenta de lungime.

My Desire is a valid target so I look deeper and found:

As you say sieempi, I will try from another PC. But that would be problem of drivers (or Windows related problems) not in your software. So looking deeper I found that post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20617236&postcount=1188

which leds me to some sort of driver the aplication needs. Problem is that windows don't let me install that driver.

As you recommend, I will try this in another comupter with Windows, and if still have problems, maybe with the Linux version.

Thanks a lot sieempi (and all).

PD: For those who can't get their Desire Boot in HBOOT mode keep trying, at least I found it tricky.

I didnt have any problems running the HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.9.5.exe. First i intalled the Android driver and after:

1.Download and unzip the .rar Windows version of the utility.

2.Boot your phone into the HBOOT menu (power on your phone while holding down the Vol Down button on the side of the phone)﻿

3.Plug your phone into the laptop with your charger (should say USB PLUG at the top of the white screen or something)

4.Run the HTC Desire Unlock v0.9.5 program that you just unzipped

5.It'll say something like 'Detected HBOOT PLUG, force unlock? y/n'

6.Press 'y'

7.Your device will restart, then hopefully be unlocked!
