Will upgrading the rom from the offcial HTC site unlock the phone? - Touch 3G ROM Development

No, if the phone is locked, no official upgrade will unlock it.

X1 Unlock - Confirming unlock method

Hi there,
I am looking to SIM-unlock my new X1, is there anyway of doing it? Can I use the Kaiser Sim-Unlocker or any other method? Thanks a lot!
This might be a really stupid question, but have you tried another sim card in it yet?
Mine came from Vodafone UK, and is unlocked out of the box
lol....well I am getting mine off of Vodafone so fingers crossed it comes unlocked. Ill give it a try when I get it. Thanks for the info!
I got mine from Three in Sweden and it came unlocked =) They have NOT locked their X1 they will brand it and lock it in January, I have talked with them so go get your unlocked X1 =)

You cannot use the other unlockers for this model.
Contact me by PM , I can give you the unlock code.
*ALL* UK vodafone contract phones are now sim unlocked.
Same with Telnor/Vodafone Sweden. They do not lock the phones.
You might see the locked phones soon.
Now T-Mobile Netherlands has locked phones and they are out in the market.
I can confirm that htccode can remove the simlock from a X1, my X1 was locked with a T-Mobile Netherlands Simlock, but now it's simlock free
Was done in about 5 minutes...
just got one from mobilkom austria (vodafone partner) a week ago - it came unlocked
mine came unlocked out of box. O2 uk (mobiles.co.uk)

I got my X1 last thursday, locked from Vodafone.
Simple visit to htccode and within a few minutes it was unlocked.
Excellent service.

Why don't you just flash the phone with the latest generic firmware as described in the ROM-forum? Branding and SIM-lock should be gone after that.

SIM-lock remains with a ROM flash.

Mine has gone away. Austria Mobilkom branded phone, now with AT_Generic Firmware and no SIM-Lock anymore -I tried SIM-cards from "3" and "T-Mobile" and they are working.
SIM lock has to be a software-issue, I don't think that they will mess with the hardware for each provider?
At least, it's a try. What works for me could work for others too.
is this the same as CID unlock? or only simcard lock?
unlocked x1
SFR (french vodafone partner) provide unlocked x1 too !!
I DONT SEE WHAT I NEED...IS THERE ANY STANDALONE THAT CAN UNLOCK THIS FONE..X1 YES OR NO?WHER?regards

Try to change your O2 ROM with the European ROM using Goldcard method

That would DeBrand the Device (removing the O2 Splash screen etc) however it WILL NOT unlock the device to allow another network's sim card to work in the device.
The ONLY way at the moment to unlock your device is to either obtain the code from O2 which you have tried or pay for one through a unlock site such as the one he's already been shown (http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/htc-hd7-unlock)
^^ ok thanks for all of you guys
i'll try that website
i wish that it work..
best regards for you ...

[Q] HD7 - Basic Questions on flashing and unbranding

First, hi there.... i'm a newbie regarding flashing smartphones.... so please be kind
My phone info:
OS Version: 7.0.7008.0
Firmwareversion: 2250.09.11901.207
HW-Rev: 0002
Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
Radio-HW: A.102.0.D4
Bootloaderversion: 1.19.2250.0(111297)
Chip-SOC-Version: 2.2.5.0
Provider: o2 Germany
(HD7 bought via o2myhandy)
PreNoDo-Update is installed.
And here are coming the questions :
1. Correct me if im wrong but it looks like my HD7 is branded from o2. (i have the o2 accent theme in my design settings and so on)
2. I want to unbrand my HD7, to get updates directly and not through o2. Is that possible?
3. If that is possible, which ROM should i use to flash? (Is it useful to debrand my phone with an preNodo ROM and update it then through zune?)
4. Can i use the offical HTC ROMs, or du i have to use other ones?
Thanks!
This is exactly what I've been wondering too. The o2 search provider (Yahoo) on my phone annoys me lots and I'm fed up waiting for the 7.0.7390 update to arrive. Shall I take matters into my own hands!
Hi
I followed the instructions on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988672
and have updated to NODO successfully
Please Note it seems to work with only HTC HD7 on O2 UK
I had an O2 UK and its seems to unbrand it to European version to get the nodo update
Do make sure you read the post properly again and again if you must , cause I made a few cockups a couple of times but got it right the third time
Thanks!
Whats the difference between the o2 UK and o2 DE ROMs aside the language?
I've also updated my phone and it worked flawlessly!
It's even now offering the NoDo update officially from MS, I presume because the phone is now unbranded.
Unbranding made a big difference to my phone, stripping the o2 logo off the bootup sequence and taking the crappy Yahoo search off IE.
Very happy with the improvement
Ok, i hope its not off-topic, but i there seems to be too many threads that got me confused ( some with deleted op )
I am getting a T-Mobile unlocked hd7, question is .. is there a way to unbrand and get NoDo ? If i do it will it get locked again ? ( i used unlock code to unlock it )
Please if it has been posted before, just guide me to the threads i should read.

Did you remove netlock? A unlocked phone will allow you to side load apps. T-Mobile wouldnt do that (its not legal).
I called mobile today to get my HD7 unlocked wil try this
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
By unlocked i meant SIM-unlocked -.-'

Even i have a HTC HD7 US T-Mobile version sim unlocked and im using it in China.Is there any way i can unbrand it and get NODO update?

[Q] brand ,unbrand

May i know what is the difference between branded and unbranded any example of it? is it the phone or the os or something else.Need clarification.
Thank You
I second this question
still unanswered
Branded roms have the network/operator logos, settings and its been customized by them. Plus any updates will come from them.
Debranded is an untouched generic usually eurowwe or Asia wwe rom that's not been customized and is how it should come from HTC. So updates will come direct and a lot quicker.
HD7S Rom
Just ordered an HD7S and i know that it comes pre-installed with the latest Nodo Rom. I just want to know if it is possible to downgrade this phone to a pre Nodo firmware so that i can use Chevron to sideload apps like an HD7 or is there an Developer unlocked rom that can work with the hd7s and if so what firmware is it at?
does anyone have an answer to my question?
I have a hd7s too I have been able to flash custom rom on it but make sure you back up the stock att one. Oh and we can probably get the mango beta but it sucked on my hd2 not sure about hd7s. I would just wait for that to come out then downgrade to unbranded rom prenodo unlock and the upgrade to mango unlocked or maybe someone will make us an unlocked rom!!!!
