i am one of those people here in japan waiting anxiously for someone to find a way to circumvent Softbank's network lock.
anybody else waiting for that magic moment may post their queries or opinion on this thread.
upgraded to the new rom
well, since i really don't need an unlocked phone for now, i figured why not using that microsd card softbank sent me and upgrade my phone anyway.
it is now network locked to softbank. i really don't mind coz i have no plans of using the phone in the philippines, and my other unlocked hermes is being enjoyed by my wife in the philippines.
im just waiting patiently for an unlocker, out of curiousity.

Hello everyone,
First I would like to congratulate all of you for what you are doing. I would say I was more than impressed and if there is anything I can offer you guys I will do that. I am a programmer and currently I am developing Wireless XDA applications. I do have a problem and I am hoping that you might be able to sort me out. I purchased a T-Mobile PW10B1 XDA in United States and it was from T-Mobile Company therefore it is SIM locked. I live in Kenya and I really need to unlock it so as to use it on our local Network. It is having ROM Version O2 3.14 and I tried using 'XDAunlock.exe' but got an error.
Therefore the questions arise, how do I get ROM Version 02 3.16 or higher as I never purchased the gadget from QTek? Secondly, how do I tell if the XDA has Wireless Modem feature and is it mandatory? Lastly, how do I unlock the gadget?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Peter.
I contacted imei-check.co.uk over the weekend about sim/cid unlocking my T-mobile UK Ameo and this is the reply i got unfortunatly......
Hello,
unfortunately we don't have a solution for it ready. Right now we are not sure if we will develop one at all. Not even that we have to develop the solution we also have to add a lot of new protection to it to prevent thiefs from stealing our hard work like they did it in past.
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
I think there is a simple script to change the CID but Mods in this forum dont want it to announce for that HTC will know this weakness point and then will change it in next updates or devices. or another reason to keep us under thier mercy for asking for cid unlocker for our devices....
check this post

so who knows the script??
Hi All,
Getting my Orange UK Hero tomorrow, and need to unlock it so I can use my work SIM as well as the Orange SIM.
Does anyone know of a reliable unlocking company, or even a free solution for unlocking the Hero.
I realise this is early days, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bagpuss.
You never know, it might come unlocked ;-)....
Well for T-mobile US, you can just call customer service and say that you need your phone unlocked to use while you're travelling outside of the country and would prefer to use a local sim card while you're there. It's simply done for no charge.
I'm not sure Orange UK has the same policies, but you could always try.
Hi all,
I finally purchased the Telus Hero GSM Quad Band from Canada and its on its way to India thru FedEx. Bought the Hero without contract for 599$. Does this mean it is unlocked?
Since I have bought it now, what is my next job?
1. Unlock it by purchasing a unlock code.
2. Once unlocked, can I use it as it is? or it is mandatory to upgrade or downgrade the ROM?
3. Will post some more query when it comes to my mind.
Note: Did a search and it seems all threads were stopped answering from last November. So, started a new thread.
Expecting replies, since I do not want to keep Hero in hand as a dummy piece without knowing wat to do.

you will have to unlock it... then it will work when you pop a registered sim card in..(if the bands are correct) but im guessing you checked that already
Thnx for replying..now I am sure I have to unlock. but which website? Have waded in here and most vote goes to http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
should I get one from them?
What about my second query? Is it mandatory to downgrade/upgrade my ROM?
oh sorry forgot about that... im honestly not sure about which site to use to unlock sorry, id go with one that i know people have gotn there money back from though...
and no it is not mandatory to do anything except unlock to use your phone, only install a rom if you want to
thnx a bunch m8..I am relieved now. I also believe that most ppl here who have unlocked their hero has used the link I have posted. Some have got their money refunded too if it doesnt work. Waiting for my package to arrive to knw the IMEI and start unlocking. Fingers crossed.
Guys, if you trust some other site who provides unlock codes, please suggest.

As for websites to unlock, I did some searching back in November when I got my Telus Hero. I ended up using http://www.unlock-hero.com/, as it seemed to be the most popular at the time. I had no problems with them and had my unlock code within 20 minutes. It's also well priced.
thnx for the sugg m8..need more and finally need to decide on one.
I am currently bidding on one on ebay, and the seller got it from an upgrade from O2 so he doesnt know if its locked or not. Is there any possibility I get it and cannot use it with my network?
Hi,
The O2 phones are normally not locked. (And you could flash an unbranded firmware also)

o2 uk razr's are all simfree
Cut this post with my shiny RAZR XT910 using XDA Premium
first of all thank you for your reply guys. I actually bought it and the seller sent to me a message mentioning that it IS locked but I can unlock it using a website ( .network-unlock-codes.
So, i would like to ask you, if this guy is really knowing what he is saying or you know better and it IS NOT unlocked.

i don't think that 02's RAZR is locked. my phone is from O2, i inserted my vodafone card directly after getting it out of the box
so first of all:
don't go to the site
just test another card
if not working test another ROM
i wouldn't believe in that selling guy

You mean not to believe him on what he said about the phone being locked OR that is maybe a fraud? (his feedback on ebay is quite good though!).
Any way, I have not paid him yet cause I am waiting to link my new card to my paypal account. How easy is it to put another ROM on this? (never done it in the past)
I have an O2 RAZR and can confirm that it is not locked.
I am gonna raise the bid
3D version of temple run has finally been released and its called 'Fred Runner'
Apple Fanboys are drinking that Hateraid
well, bad news for me. It is asking me for SIM network unlock PIN what should I do now/?
So my question is..how can I bypass this? I am a complete noob. Do I need to flash another rom? What is the procedure? Thank you guys in advance!
