'Cannot find a code for your Phone/IMEI' - O2 UK PAYG - HD7 General

Hi, I have a strange issue. I've tried unlocking my PAYG O2 HD7 on both www.htcimeiunlock.com and www.unlock-now.com and both don't seem to be able to find the IMEI in their database. The message is "Unfortunately we cannot find a code for your Phone/IMEI!". I am certain I am selecting the correct 'UK' and 'O2' settings and have tried typing the IMEI a number of times.
Is anyone aware if this issue is because it's brand new and it resolves itself, or does it mean the phone can never be unlocked?
Thanks for any help

If everything is correct, that is very odd.
Just checked the 4 IMEI's of the HD7's I have here and all work fine

Thanks risq, just to see what would happen I tried altering the IMEI code on the www.htcimeiunlock.com and it said "invalid IMEI". So it seems the IMEI I am typing in is 'valid'.
I've seen a few threads on other sites about this with no viable solution, except contacting the Mobile Operator. FYI here they are: thread1, thread 2 and thread 3.
Called O2 and Customer Services rep said she has filled out a form for it to be unlocked (I wonder if it's the same as this form). Did not ask for money for it. Apparently will be done in 7 days. To say I am dubious it will be done is an understatement! She didn't even know that 'HTC' was a phone manufacturer.

this is bad news
I am in same boat
I have requested with unlock-now.com
they have taken my money so I am waiting
HTC update their databases frequently and the unlock providers have to re-sync.
Note that the unlock code is NOT calculated from the IMEI. Its simply a database lookup
hopefully this will not take too long

This is what I am hoping! www.htcimeiunlock.com says 'can take 2 days'. Which would be ok.

Hopefully you'll get it sorted.
Like I say, it gives me the option for unlock codes on all my handsets with the IMEI Code on the box, selecting united Kingdom and O2 as the operator.
You did check the option hadn't automatically changed on the drop-down. I had that happen a few times which was annoying.
I thought the code was generated by the IMEI, otherwise it would be the same code for each phone would it not?

in the old days unlock codes were formulae based on IMEI number. this was notorious with early nokias which could mostly be unlocked for free
no longer
its simply a lookup on the HTC database
BTW unlock-now.com did refund me
waiting ................

HTCCODE has just told me that database might only be updated in 1-2 weeks
at least they are honest

Ditto

bought mine online
probably just a new batch
as all the shops are out near me (in central london) I presume their next batch will be the same as online

i also bought online ..and i could not get a unlockcode.. if u get a unlock code please update here

Got mine online on PAYG on O2 and unlocked no problem over the weekend. Make sure you use the 15-digit IMEI number on the box and NOT the 17-digit it gives you when checking from the phone. The last two digits relate to the operator and should not be used.

i used the code without turning on the mobile, just from the box.

Same
Same with me, bought online Monday delivered Tuesday, and cannot find code error.
Btw don't you get a message telling you to use the first 15 digits if you enter 17 on htcimeiunlock?

yes, the last two digits are irrelevant

Hi Guys, a quick update, following the above quote O2 sent me the unlock PIN for free after 24 hours of calling them. I believe I have been quite lucky, the subject of the email includes details from the support ticket and clearly says "Pay Monthly" even though I am a PAYG customer.
Just in case you want to try this instead of waiting for the 3rd party unlockers to update their database my tip is, I called without my 'new' PAYG mobile number to hand, so she found my account via the order number instead. There is a chance this is why the request for unlocking assumed it was a contract phone not a PAYG phone.
For once I'm impressed with O2 support

What did u ask? & How did they filled up a form to unlock even though u r on a PAY&GO?

They looked up order number and saw it was PAYG, then said will only unlock after 12 months

kaiser unlocking

just a heads up for people wanting to unlock their kaiser, steer clear from these jokers http://www.gsmliberty.net, paypalled them $39.99 on the 13th Dec and still no unlock code submitted to me. Their response on the 13th was, "Your unlock code is processing. It will be sent to you today." The website advertises instant unlocking, i think not.
what a load of bull, wasted my money.
Anyone else had problems with these comedians?
Anyone recommend a decent company who can unlock my kaiser on t mobile?
Do you live in the US or elsewhere? and your trying to unlock to use on Tmobile, or are currently using on Tmobile?
ebay
a canadian unlocker with thousands of feedbacks can do it for $14
im in the uk the handset is a t mobile handset and my sim is vodafone
I used these guys, and ended up doing a chat session with them. You will need to download a program then send them the output. I got the code like an hour later to unlock. Their automated e-mail system does not tell you to download the program. Hope this helps.
yes i got the program and then uploaded the file to their server, but they still havent got back to me with the physical unlock code and this was four days ago when i uploaded the file

Are O2 unlocking them? I thought they werent due too exclusivity. Same with my Dell Streak, I had to use a Rebel SimCard
Sorry to spoil the fun but I just read on that page...
If you're a Pay Monthly customer then you can request for your handset to be unlocked at any time, free of charge. The only exception are handsets which are exclusive to O2

And from all the press releases bombarded at us, we know that the HTC HD7 is (in the UK) an O2 Exclusive handset
It works. I filled out the form about an hour ago and just got the unlock code e-mailed to me. Tested with a Vodafone sim and it works.
My imei code is 17 digit but the form only accepts 15, What do I do.
Just use the first 15 digits.
Alright, thanks.
I just got my unlock code and all works

No I didn't mean that. I meant has someone bought a PAYG HD7 then went to the O2 online form and pretend you bought a contract phone in order to try and cheat to see if they would still send an unlock code?
i also got a pay-n-go phone, but put my simplicity contract sim in

Whatch this space and I'll report back. I have a 30-day simplicity plan =and brought my phone on PAYG (the new name for buying outright from O2). I have put my request in against my Simplicity mobile number, I am expecting them to honour it under Simplicity so will report back.
I would like to update from my previous post to say I've officially eaten my hat.
As information for others out there, I am on a Sim Only Simplicity price plan and bought my HD7 on PAYG. I filled out the form using my simplicity account information and lo and behold, the following day I got my unlock code. And yes, I tested it and it works.
I have no intention of moving away from O2 at the moment as I signed up during the unlimited data times before they added a cap as well as treating me well, but it's nice to know the option is there later down the line in case.
I guess you chose pay monthly in the choose account option right? I have been on simplicity for around 15 months now so I guess I qualify for unlock as I pay monthly too, even though on simplicity and even though a PAYG handset?
My understanding is that it is an european legal requirement that if you want to use it on another carrier you can (you bought it, you are allowed to use it as you see fit etc.).
However you are still bound to your contract...
Gordon.
I was thinking of getting this device and getting it on PAYG.
Personally I don't really think any other network can offer as good deal for PAYG anyway

If you got your Phone through O2 in the UK, just call them, they don't usually charge for unlocking. Tell them you need to put a work sim in it and it a different provider.
+1 for htcimeiunlock.com
On the site they let you put in your info including carrier, model, and IMEI. They then tell you if they have the unlock code, and if so and how much it costs and how long it will take.
In my case it said 15 minutes and $25. I paid with paypal and about 15 minutes later the unlock code arrived in email. The code worked and my phone is now unlocked.
I will use them in the future.
Worked for me
used the link above and it just worked (no issues, Just be sure you provide the correct IMEI or you may have a problem) use IMEI from the device not your box (I have seen issues where they do not always match).
Cheers
BR
I used the site above but it says it can't find a code when I input my IMEI.
Help please!!!
Will that website provide an unlock code for ANY hd7 that's locked to tmobile? because i'm thinking of getting one to canada and i wont be able to return it so i have to make sure that it can be unlocked!!
I bought mine from a nice guy through Kijiji in Toronto... HTC HD7 (T-Mobile branded) and he even had unlock code. If you post an ad there, I'm sure he'll respond. Make sure you put it in the "want to buy" section and make sure the subject line has HTC HD7 Unlock Code Wanted. It's the least I can do to send you to him as he was very fast and effecient and affordable.

I'll give that a try if cellunlock fails. How much was it and did he e-mail the code?
I used www.cellunlocker.net on both my HD7's. codes arrived in about 25-30 mins and only cost 19.99
-oh both are the tmobile branded, tested with other sim cards, and works.
The kijiji dude was $20 but I was also buying the phone from him. He gave me the code on paper. Try the other suggested website first.
I unlocked my HD7 with htcimeiunlock. The phone was locked to o2 Uk. They emailed me the code within 5 minutes!
are y'all that are having problems sure you are entering your imei code right?

I just bought a t-mobile branded HD7 from a store in California and have failed on both sites to get an unlock code. Keeps telling me the IMEI code is not recognized. This is a little worrying as I plan to be going back to the UK soon. Also frustrating as others on t mobile seem to have been having success.

maybe tmous is trying to keep the phone locked down. If you got in on contract I don't think tmous will give it to you till you have had the phone 60 days. You could call them and tell them you are going overseas on business so you need the sim unlocked for overseas use. That is what I did with my hd2 before I sold it.
Guess I'm the only one with an un-unlockable HD7 in the world. I tried 3 different legit unlock companies and all failed. I called HTC and they said the carrier locks it. I called T-Mobile and spent 2 hours on the phone discussing everything from having to get a temporary pay-as-you-go plan to having to wait 40 days for an unlock code. Now they say if I fax them the receipt they could have it the next day at best.
This would be great except like some of you I bought mine on Kijiji and I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller.
Anyone want to buy my un-unlockable HD7?

The UN-unlockable HD7

So maybe I'm the only one in the world with an HD7 that can't be unlocked.
I bought one on Kijiji new in the box. I'm in Toronto and planned to use it on Wind Mobile. I read of others enjoying their unlocked T-Mobile HD7's. So I bought mine today, sold my old phone the same day and found out that my phone cannot be unlocked.
I have tried 4 different websites for unlocking and all failed. I called HTC and they said to speak to the carrier. The carrier said to get a plan with them and in 40 days I can have the code. Doesn't make much sense being that I don't live in the U.S. or within hours of their service areas.
Finally the sales person says to fax them a receipt and they can provide the code in 24 hours or 2 weeks if they don't have it in their database and have to retrieve it from HTC. I doubt I can get a receipt from the seller and I feel like I just spent $500 on a paper weight.
Anyone have any suggestions??
EDIT: mobileincanada.com surprisingly sent me an email last night saying they updated their database and if I re-ordered they could probably have the code for me in a few min. So I took another shot and they actually had one. I guess it could an updated database to solve the problem!!

you need to get someone that have t-mobile account to do it for you
Hey go on tmobile's website and go to the online chat help section and talk to someone there and just be kind and tell them the truth. I found that they are really helpful. Just tell the person u bought it from a tmobile store (dont say kiji) and that ur in canada and are not a tmobile customer. They'll understand. Im in canada and was thinking of doin what u did and buying one and then unlocking it so to be safe i talked to a tmobile rep b4 buying anythin and she was really understanding and told me she would unlock it for me after i purchased it( not sure if they wouldve kept their word since i havent bought mine yet)...
as long as you bought it at full retail, they should give you the unlock code. The 40 days only applies if you got it at a discount as a new line of service.
I was in the same situation, tried over 10 websites and none of them had the unlock code in their database. Luckly I was able to get the receipt from the seller and got T-Mobile to unlock the phone. Took T-Mobile less than 24 hrs to send me the code. Like the other poster said, try the T-Mobile online chat, they are very helpful.
Thats crazy.. was planning on picking up an HD7 to use on Wind soon in Toronto. Would be brutal if it can't be unlocked.
Did any of you guys who had problems try mobileincanada.com for the unlock code?

Yup tried mobileincanada.com, didn't work and got a refund.
Most of the sites claimed they should be able to unlock the phone in a few weeks when their databases are updated.
edit: What you could also do is bring a laptop with you when you buy the phone and check if the phone is unlockable here http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/check-imei.php
^man that really sucks.. you had tried 10 different sites? Also thanks for the tip on htcimeiunlock site.
So T-mobile was pretty helpful about the situation as long as you had the original receipt? good to know.. worse case i'll just go for a quick drive and pick one up.
I tried all the sites you all listed here and NONE of them worked. I even found some other site called UNLOCKINGONLINE.COM. They say claim to have access to some newer databases and recommend using a certain unlock option if you're phone is an HTC device manufactured after March or May 2010 I think it said. But it's a premium rate of $39.99 which of course they say they will refund if unsucessful.
Well I tried them as my last resort and guess what? I've had no response from them since last night and they promise a 5-30 min turnaround time on 99% of all unlocks.
So now I'm worrying about the 4 or 5 refunds I'm expecting for all the various unlocking sites I tried AND they guy I bought my HD7 from has decided to no longer respond to my messages. Maybe he knew I couldn't unlock it before hand and took my money and ran.
I guess my last option is the online chat with T-Mobile a few of you have suggested. Otherwise I'm just going to sell it and let someone else figure out how to unlock it.
I tried the online T-Mobile chat and they said unless I bought it right from T-Mobile and have a receipt they will not unlock it for me.
Can anyone offer some advice on either what I can say to them or perhaps if one of you are an existing T-Mobile client you could offer me some assitance??
I'd hate to have to get rid of it now
Hopefully with some time these databases for unlocking will get updated?
I'm close to buying one off something through kijiji in toronto as well.. he just dropped the prices recently, really hope its not the case where the phone cannot be unlocked. Considering I only see one guy selling in toronto I don't think I should take the chance.

Just a heads up the only guy on Kijiji is the guy I bought mine from yesterday. He got back to me now and says he doesn't have retail receipts as he buys from a wholesaler. He says he'll see if there is anything he can do for me.

Here's for anyone else having Sim unlocking problems but can actually get the sales receipt. I just got this in my email:

Well I would still buy one IF you weren't in a rush to set it up and didn't mind possibly waiting for a couple weeks for the code. Just don't do what I did and get rid of your current phone with expectations the new one will be up and running in minutes..
If the Kijiji guy did buy in bulk, maybe you can ask him to use http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/check-imei.php to check if the rest of his phones are unlockable and if it is try asking for an exchange.

Think he has one left and I asked him about trying that tool but he didn't answer. Sounds like he just found out recently that they're not unlockable right now.

Well I should probably mention that after he got back to me today about my issues he did promise to go home tonight to see if the other one he had left was unlockable immediately. And if it was he assured me he would let me switch mine for that one. So perhaps that's why he didn't answer you, not sure.
But once I'm out of options and anyone wants mine (that's willing to wait of course) you're welcome to buy it from it me.
I'm going to try taking a walk around here at lunch for fun and see if any of these guys on Yonge St. can unlock it.
^Thats true, he doesn't have it with him so can't check now. He's been a nice guy though, and that's cool if he can let you swap it if its unlockable.

Unlockable Atrix HD??

Ugggg.... I've checked and although there is talk of help with unlocking, I don't see this specifically, so forgive if I missed it....
I did my first post a week or so ago when I had just bought a MyTouch that my son got to and, well, we ended up ordering a digitizer and spending hours trying to fix that one (the glue was CRAZY!).... Well, that didn't work.
I bought an Atrix HD off craigslist, yes locked. I love it, but now have tried two unlock companies and neither could come up with a code. AT&T can't tell me why (or so they say) that they say it's "unlockable".....
So, am I two for two - with another phone that I can't use or am I missing something.
Thanks so much - I really want to use this phone.

It was carrier locked to ATT, I'm using Telcel GSM, so I just bought the unlock code and put it on the phone like all the Androids I had, I tought it's was going to be easy, but I was wrong.
The first seller told me he didn't found the code, so i was refunded my 3.99, then the second seller told me the same, refunded me 7.99, I was like crazy, how no one can found the code for this now obsolete and old 2.1 phone?
I found this site: Cellunlocker.net and I bought the code from there, it cost me 7.99 dollar, and after 12 hours they gave me 2 codes, they didn't work, I was like crazy, how can even be possible I can't get an unlock code for this? In the same site, there's an extra option called "Manufacturer / Code Not Found" method. It's the most expensive than the carrier method, but it's more effective, the code for the Flipout with this method cost me 32.99 but it was valid. I recommend you this site if the ebay sellers can't find the unlock code for your Atrix, only you need paypal.

Here's the page, only you put the model, then choose Manufacturer / Code Not Found Method and the IMEI, you can try it, and good luck!

Well I tried AT&T again - figured it was worth a shot. They took my name, cell number, ime # on the atrix..... she came back with "This phone is unlockable and will NEVER be able to be unlocked."
Is this true or just what they say????
Ugggg....
Mmm... what are you want to do exactly? sim-unlock? I mean, if you want to buy an unlock code for your phone, you just need the model, the original carrier that is locked to, and the imei, just that, they give you the unlock code based on the imei code...

I have used two unlock companies. Both come back saying they can't produce a code and at&T says it is was manufactured as "an unlockable device", which sounds strange to me.....
I don't know the personal "history" of the phone other than it's relatively new - obviously... but have no idea about "developer" editions or anything like that..... Is it possible that a phone was "made unlockable"??
I use TMobile and it is locked to AT&T **************

Don't worry, I use this phone on T-Mobile. It is unlockable. I too had two other companies fail to find the code and have to issue me a refund. I also spent a LONG time on the phone with AT&T who eventually said they couldn't unlock it because it was such a new model and they "reserved the right to keep it locked for up to a year". But the third company I tried, americanunlocker.com finally got me my unlock code and it worked fine. I'm now rockin T-Mobile's $30 plan on my AT&T Atrix HD. The unlock only cost me $15.

You Rock.....It took 5 days of "calculating unlock code" from AMERICAN UNLOCKERS..... but THEY DID IT!!!!
So definitely worth the $14.99!!! especially after 2 others who couldn't do it and 2 phone calls to AT &T where they were telling me it was unlockable for unknown reasons the first time and "would never be unlockable" on the second try!!!
THANKS SO MUCH!

Is everyone else getting a 5-day turnaround time from American Unlocker? I bought the code last Friday, and it's now Wednesday and they still haven't sent me the code. I'm starting to get worried since they said it would take 1-3 days.
It's been 10 days now since I placed my order with American Unlocker. Still no unlock code, and no reply to my messages via email, the fake "Live support" window, posts on their Facebok page, and messages to their Facebook profile. They don't pick up the phone either.
I finally got the code from American Unlocker, and it worked. They took their sweet time, but they delivered
