I bought a phone that is locked for Vodafone UK. I hope that did not fool me, but the phone has vodafone icons and charger is uk. When I insert Slovak SIM, its ask for code.
I'm not sure if it was called for 5min. but there are scratches on phone, so I hope he call from it, but if not and I buy and enter the unlock code, will it lock permanently, or its not problem? I tried to buy the cheapest code from ebay, but "Sorry-Code is not found in the database on this service for your IMEI."
What is best and cheapes way to unlock it. Thank you for any help and sorry for my english :fingers-crossed:
The best way to unlock it is by code, using a service provider of this kind. I have used in the past unlockscope.com and I was very pleased with the results. I recieved the code in the same day and the unlocking proccess went smooth. The costs are ok as I paid 19$ to unlock my Galaxy S6 and normally the network provider would charge me somewhere around 80$.
Hope it helps you
thank you nicu03. I just got a message from eBay that the code not found, again from another seller . So I'm going try unlockscope, thank you for link!
edit: so I was unable use unlockscope, but I try unlockbase.com and after few hours its unlocked! ye

Hello -
Having had my 1.76 Hero unlocked (£20) to allow vodafone use, it now has to go into HTC to repair a broken g-sensor. It will come back locked to t-mobile again, with upgraded t-mobile ROM.
I intend to replace the Rom anyway, with Modaco custom ROM.
So do I need to unlock it all over again (I don't have a t-mobile sim card), or is there a way to go directly to the ROM flashing?
thanks,
alex
Do you have the option to input an unlock code?

In this case, I suggest you'll need an golden card. Search for it using the searching function.

He isn't asking about rooting, instead of spamming every post in the forum with answers maybe just dont assume he wants something he didnt ask for?
you have even contradicted your post saying he needs a gold card in the last post!

Yea, it's same IMEI in everywhere.

I suggest you to flash some ROM, i think it will remove any SIM Locks and so one. Find ROM on development forum for your phone.
You can get a Worldwide sony ericsson Unlock Code from imeicodes.co.uk this however takes about a week to get your code, so you need to be patient. The code will work fine aslong as you havent used up your tries to enter it (just like a nokia phone). It's a good idea to check your unlock code attempts before ordering a code by doing the following:
Press menu < < menu < menu menu <
Then you can check the counter [0 or 5].
If it says 0 then you cannot enter codes.
And STOP giving your IMEI on public sites!

Thanks. but, now im trying to install custom rom to my mobile.
Thanks again for infor
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888227is not ROM but tutorial on making new one. I'm using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 and it's very good. First you have to check if your Baseband Version is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 (Settings→Phone info (I don't remember how it exactly is in English). If not, you must use FlashTool to change it. Next, you have to root your device, install ClockWorkMod (xRecovery) and flash your new ROM.
I'm not sure if it will remove SIM Lock although it's worth of trying. Ask if you have any questions.
Sorry about my english if I wrote sth wrong

BIG thanks for Big Help. I'll try it and post here about my result. Thanks a lot guys again .
Good night. (3:25 AM here )
99% sure roms don't remove sim locks :<
Flashing a ROM has nothing to do with your SIM Lock. So no flashing will magically unlock your device. You need to get the proper unlock code, or have someone with a unlock dongle to do it.

Sure if you got more tries to use with correct unlock code you still can do that.
Else you can get it unlocked via dongle.
You can try and PM the guy in this thread:

Hello,
I've just been offered a good deal on this phone.
It's locked to orange and I'm with 3. How easy/expensive would it be to have it unlocked?
Thank you.
I tried searching but just got bootloader unlock info, and I'm not sure if it's the same thing.
Also is it a good phone?
Not many places,sell it and buy unlocked one ebay.or tesco but £20 to unlock from tesco and takes them 2 weeks to unlock

Ok thanks, so it isn't possible to unlock it myself via rooting etc?
The phone is costing me £104 delivered.
Cheers.
Ok so I've now bought this phone.
I've found a guy on ebay that can unlock it for £30 and takes around 1 week to get my code.
I just wanted to check there wasn't a cheaper/faster option before I clicked 'buy it now'?
Thank you.
Have you tried flashing a custom rom?
There is a very good version of CM on XDA now, with CM 7.2 (FX108).
I was told flashing a custom rom wouldn't make it sim free?
Is this not the case?
Thanks.

I now want to root and install custom firmware. Will doing this automatically debrand the phone (remove all the Orange crap!)?
Or should I debrand it before rooting?
Thanks.

ok, as far as i know you can remove the SIM lock by entering a network/SIM unlock code. You can usually get one from your provider. You have to pay them of course... :crying:
I know that german T-Mobile phones can be unlocked that way, not sure if its the same in Austria...
Removing the SIM lock does not affect the status of your bootloader! If its locked it will stay locked.

I have been looking for a topic about it in T-Mobile website and I didn't find nothing good.
In the meanwhile I found this service:

Do you know it? I would like to know if it's reliable or not.

Hi everyone,
I have purchased a HTC Desire X from Orange Romania 2 months ago and now I moved out of the country, so I need to use it with a different sim card. The phone is locked on Orange and they're asking for 100E to get it unlocked, which they won't get Anyway, the point is that they change the factory unlock codes, so getting the unlock code from the IMEI is not an option. Has anyone managed to sim-unlock a desire X without using the unlock code? If yes, could it share the steps? I would be very grateful, thanks in advance!

I don't mind rooting, flashing, etc. the phone. I can do that myself as a CS guy, but I just need some directions.

There is no way to sim unlock with root or flashing on the Desire X. There are many people who will do it for you for like 15 bucks

And there is nobody that knows what they're using for unlocking?
Due to S-On there is no free option available atm. But you can go to http://www.sim-unlock.at/, there you'll only have to pay 25 € for unlocking, plus it's reported as working for a few times already on this phone.
Thanks, but as I said at the beginning, Orange changes the unlock code so I don't think it will work.
