Explain unlocked. The device is not SIM-locked, and the Extended ROM is not locked, just hidden. And there have a been a number of posts regarding access to the Extended ROM, including on PocketPC Dubai and my blog.

Since there aren't any SIM locked devices on the market yet, I don;t think anyone has busted it yet. If you are going to stay on as a T-Mobile customer you should be able to ask them for an unlock code, so you can use it abroad. Provided that it is locked as they have been in the past.

I have an MDA Pro from t-mobile on contract. I have spoken to t-mobile and they will unlock the phone after the contract is 1 month old. for a small fee I think. they unlocked my MDA 3 for £20.
if you want to buy the MDA vario from the netherlands, u must know it is in dutch, and locked. i have one now
Unlocking (SIM-lock) the MDA Vario T-mobile (Wizard)
The MDA Vario by T-Mobile is SIM locked (for 2 years). I would love to have a program to unlock it. I tried the xdadv_all_unlock tool, but off course that didn't work.. If anyone knows how to remove the SIM lock, give me a shout!
Hi timeout
what version u applied of xda unlock because there is another version of on www.buzzdev.net available something 1.68
any way i still not tried that.

Wait no longer I've just unlocked my T-Mobile Vario by using :-
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
It's worked great and I can now use my Orange SIM with no problems.
@leewilko: how much did they charge you?
£20 (20 ukp)
Hi, I have the XDA Mini S (a.k.a. HTC Wizard) from O2 Germany. I want to install an english version. I'm worried that if I unlock the device (I guess this is needed in order to install a new OS) I'll lose the old one. Is there a way to back everything up before upgrading so that I can restore it if I don't want to lose my warranty?

Wizard SIM Unlock Tool works right for my M3000 Orange France, now my Wizard is unlock
Thank you very much buzzdev
holy crap it works!!!
it is machinegod who has involved this
so big thanks yo him........
Buzz did also research!
but main question is now who brings us an MDA PRO unlocker...:!!!
OK, OK, so let me get this straight - this crack does what - cracks the bootlader like the tool from imei-check.co.uk or it gets round the country check when trying to install a new OS?
Hi,
I think about getting an HTC Touch Diamond, it will arrive with t-mobile or o2 sim-lock. Is there any way to remove a sim-lock from an HTC Touch Diamond? If yes, please post me some links. I was searching the forums, but there is too much desinformation.
thanks in advance
take care,
m00h
Not even one answer till today? Can't believe that.
Look in the dev part. There's one who can help you out.
-edit- not for free though...
Our T-Mobile MDA devices came without a SIM lock here in the Netherlands.. The Vodafone branded one did however
TMO Germany seems to sell their's without SIMlock, too (mine came unlocked out of the box also...). Dunno about o2, though. there are a bunch of websites who are doing SIM unlocks via IMEI. will cost you something about 25 €s.
Hi,
Getting the td2 on o2uk. just wondered if there was a sim unlock available for this? as i want to use on orange. If so where ?
I obviously don't mind paying.
thanks guys
Where are you getting it from? I got mine from Carphonewarehouse (through one of the companies they own) and it was unlocked.
My one is from Mobilephonesdirect and it is unlocked.
(with Vodafone Monthly (18months))

I have never had an HTC device from O2 which is sim locked
Thanks for the replies guys. I am getting it from mobiles.co.uk.
I imagine it will be unlocked then
thanks again

That's the same place I got mine so you should be fine!
Mine came from mobiles.co.uk too and it was unlocked
Afternoon gents,
I am trading my iPhone 4 for the HD7 but i don't get very good signal with O2, so i was thinking about buying the handset unlocked and then putting a Vodafone contract SIM in it.
But, will this affect phone updates as carriers control WP7 updates?
Thank you.
You will have to wait for O2 to push updates as it will have an O2 ROM on it (O2 splash logo, locked yahoo search etc).
The only way around this is to flash a Euro branded ROM using Goldcard (exactly what I did) or one of the other methods floating around in the dev thread.
What about buying the phone from one of the East Asia compaines?
Found a site which offers the handset for £250 - checked reviews everywhere and all have recieved their items without fault.
One would assume that these devices would not have the O2 ROM?
No problem with Asia Phone
I bought my HD7 from an Asian shop on ebay. No problems whatsoever and I am also on Vodafone. I did use the disconnect trick and am now runing the nodo update with no issues. I also got my 16GB phone a LOT cheaper.
Crack on, it's well worth it!
Edit: Of course it was completely inbranded

What's the disconnect trick?
Did Zune tell you that an update was available?

You'll be fine i bought my via o2 but same reason due to poor data signal i ported over to vodafone, and it works brilliantly, update is fine, recently HTC push the NoDoUpdate via ZUNE and everything is runing smoothly.
Same here, I've been on Vodafone for years but pre-ordered a PAYG HD7 from O2 then just got it unlocked and has been great since.
Granted I did flash the latest Euro ROM using GOLDCARD so have no problems with updates or anything but all in all very much glad I sold on my iPhone 4 when I did, thankfully found someone nice to buy it and paid what I did as got a Unlocked one straight from Apple when they first came out.
If i bought a HD7 from the O2 shop, how would i go about unlocking it?
Would this also remove the O2 boot logo?
(You'll have to excuse my stupid questions, i do computers not phones )
You could either pay a unlock site to give you a unlock code or if you know a O2 Contract Customer they can fill out the unlock code request form online and request one for free. If you do it that way it may take two or three attempts as some guys email back and say no cos it's a contract phone but then somebody won't check as much and just issue the code, know loads of people done it this way, took 2 attempts to get mine.
As for the branding NO it would not get rid of it, to do that you would need to flash the phone with a different ROM like a HTC Euro ROM using such as the GOLDCARD Method. This will not make any difference to your unlock status so you know so you can't unlock it by flashing another ROM, and you can flash as often as you want and it won't relock the phone, once it's unlocked it's unlocked.

If you had to do the disconnect trick then it isnt de-branded.
The debranded HD7s got the update on the day of release.
I got my HD7 from O2, unlocked it through O2, and then left and went to 3.
I also did the debranded as said on here, which was nice and easy, and I got the nodo update on the day of release

I assure it is unbranded and the update was not available on the day of release as reported all over the web. I have since however rolled back the update and received the official update with HTC additions via Zune.

Orange and T-Mobile phones don't need unlocking if used on each others network
Yeah, very technically, Orange and T-Mobile don't exist anymore. My GF's S3 says "EE" on it now.
yeh they do seem to work with t-mobile in and my mrs put her o2 sim in and that works as well ... was told they were locked but seems to be working fine on orange , o2 and t-mobile which is lucky as no body seems to know how to unlock the LTE 4g models yet...

Hi mate, did you buy your S3 LTE from Orange Pay as you go and managed to use a o2 Sim card without unlocking?
As I'm planning on getting the same phone but using my o2 sim card, if you can confirm this that would be great
Also is there an Orange splash screen on start up of the phone, how much Orange branding is there?
Cheers

Good to hear!
I thought Orange would put their own ROM/branded software onto the phone as the S3 LTE appears to be exclusive to orange at the moment.
Thanks for your info, think I'm going to order my S3 LTE titanium tonight from Orange

Mate I ordered my i9305 from orange on pay as you natter on 9 October - still haven't got it yet. Not sure if I'm particularly unlucky of if the titanium version is just out of stock but I've chased them twice and checking online it just says order is being readied for dispatch. When i made the order it said on the receipt it would be sent out within 2 days but that was clearly a lie!
Would be interested to know how quickly yours arrives. Also how are people getting hold of the t-mob payg version? I thought it was only available from orange online on payg...

Yesterday I bought titanium i9305 from ee store and cancelled my order from orange online, should have done it weeks ago.
Bought an unlock code from mobileunlocked, cost 15 quid and phone was unlocked and using giffgaff SIM in less than 20 mins.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
