Mate you need to run the 02 update first cos it sounds like it was tied to O2 to begin with..
Do that and then run the tool from install via PC and it will work I promise

Hi guys, i was wondering if there is a known problem with lokiwiz and wm6.1??? i try lokiwiz 03a and get the unlock code successfully, i insert another sim and it asks for unlock code i insert the code given, and then it proceeds to enter service provider code, i then enter the same code given by lokiwiz 03a, it seems like its worked as it passes and goes to today screen, it then searches for service, it then does a "flight mode" sort of thing and it states phone is turned off, then the sim lock comes back up asking for the 2 network and service codes, and if i enter the codes again, it does the same thing??? i've tried multiple times and it gives the same code, i've tried transfering the .cabs manually in lokiwiz03a, and running them, then rebooting and it does the same, i've also tried with various network provider sim cards with no luck... please i cant stand orange, and its a used contract phone, and dont think i can ring them up and they give me free unlock code??? any help guys or girls(If any)???
Oh and i have M600, G4, Latest Radio, with Hard SPL... cheers
Try using WM5 with lokiwiz to see if thats the problem.

You were spot on, i should of realised this. i tried this earlier as a last resort, and it worked, it gave me the same code and i tried it, first time working.... happy non-orange user...lol cheers l3v5y
Hello everyone. I have one Hero100. I have the code for unlock but the phone has failed to unlock. It's locked on orange. When I enter the code , I get no service on the screen. and when I restart it, it asks for the unlock code again. How can I go about this? Its a bit strange.
sounds like orange gave you an incorrect code...
you have put a NON-orange sim in when you try this, yes?
if it fails again, go back to orange and ask for the correct code, as they have the wrong one.
The code is working. When I put the Code I get a successful msg but it wont pick up the network and also when it restarts it asks folr the code again.
The same
I have got the same problem.
I have got that unlock number but after unlocking phone, there is no range at all and info 'no service', but i am able to use 'Sim Toolkit'.
Where is a problem???
hi i'm having the same problem code is gud and it works but after that it says no servic. and when i restart or put any other sim again and turn on the phone it again asks for the code . whats wrong plz
I think not so many people have seen this phone.
I am also having this issue. Simlocked to Orange got my code and put it in and it was successful then it just stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen.
Been using HTC with windows mobile for years but decided to try android. Am I doign something wrong as I cant seem to access any phone fucntionality without putting a sim in then I get this problem we are having.
On a WM device you would still be able to access everything without having a sim in- just using it n PDA mode
, I am having the exact same problem. I have a HTC hero from orange as my contract phone. I have bought the unlock code from from swift unlock (ebay) and entered the code when prompted. The phone says the network is unlocked but the I can't get any network service, and if toggled the flight mode on and off or switched the phone off and on it will ask for the code again. If I put the orange sim in everything is back to normal. I even tried to hard reset the phone and have a fresh start while the unsupported sim is inserted but the same happens again with the addition of a message "unlocking sim". I thought the code was wrong or something, so I got the code again this time from a high street shop and it was the same code. So nothing is wrong with code itself. The guy at the shop told me that he has great problems with unlocking this phone as some seem to accept the code without any problems and others have this no service issue and he doesn't know the reason for it. I am thinking of flashing a new firmware and radio and see what happens, but this will be probably tomorrow. Sorry for my long post, but I wanted you to know that there is nothing wrong with code itself.
Yeah I dont think there is a problem with my code either. Im new to android but have been a winmo user for years, I havent rooted my Hero yet (only got it today) but that was going to be what I try next: root then network unlock.
Let us know what happens when you flash yours.
Possible Solution
When i unlocked my phone i thought the exact same thing, that it hadn't worked - it said no network, something something about my sim, etc. Later on though, I went outside and it was working. Unbelieveable i thought. Turns out when your in an area with no reception (my house) the Hero decides to boldly make sure you know that it's not getting any signal by giving you big scary messages
So once you've entered the unlock code, let it load up the UI fully, turn phone off, and then turn on again and put it somewhere you definately get a recpetion
Anyway this might answer your problems, then again might not.
Thanks for the suggestion but I dont think that is the problem in my case as I do get reception. Although for me once I have put the unlock could it it says success (or whatever) then goes to saying 'unlocking sim' it doesn't atually load up any interface.
Out of intereset where did you (all) your get your unlock code? I got mine from Unlock Now, anyone else got a code from them and can confirm it works?
Hi, I have flashed the new modaco 2.2 rom, and inserted the unsupported sim, but sadly with the same exact result "no service". I then flashed the latest radio from modaco, and repeated the steps but this time after the first time you put your unlock code it will say "no service as usual" but if you try to toggle flight mode on and off the phone will prompt for the code again and then it will greet you with a no sim is inserted or so, so it seems with the new radio the phone doesn't even detect your sim. If I put the orange sim everything is back to normal again even with the new radio.
I have a magician which was sim locked to T-Mobile.
Thanks to the tools offered, I was able to un-lock the phone and use it on O2 for 3 years.
I had a problem with the phone and had to re-install the ROM from the CD supplied by T-mobile. Upon doing so, the phone has locked itself to T-Mobile again and will not accept any other sim cards. I have tried O2, Vodafone and Orange.
The phone itself has now got Windows 6.1 by Cotulla, but as mentioned above, I can only use it on T-Mobile.
I have tried:
Lokiwiz (error message)
xdadev_all_unlock says the following:
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=HTC Magician
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=HTC Magician
xdadev_all_unlock started
device=HTC Magician
could not find security key for device type HTC Magician
xdadev_all_unlock failed
xdaSimlock
xda2unlock-v2.2 (says "found all locks to be already unlocked!"
The device still won't allow me to use any other sim cards. T-Mobile supply a code for £29.00 but it's not guaranteed to work and I've already tried it once. Does anyone know where the code is stored and if it can be removed manually? I have seen other threads stating that it should ask me for a security code if I use a different sim, but my phone does not do this. All it shows on the main screen is the antenna with an exclamation mark. With a T-mobile sim, it gets a full signal. I really want to be able to use this phone with other networks.
I will be very grateful to anyone out there that can help please??
Kind Regards,
Jp
Please, I know someone out there can help me out. Any suggestions or ideas? Help me out please????
Update
I have been trying to get this phone sorted, so I thought, why not go back to the old ROM - WM2003SE. I uploaded this and the phone briefly unlocked. I even made a call to the top up service on O2.
It then lost the network and was searching for it, after which it goes back to the previous state "No Service".
Please help!!!
HELP!!!
Firstly, Merry Xmas to you all.
Once again, I am requesting for someone to advise me on this problem. Please help me out.
Your help will be most appreciated.
Cheers,

You will need to contact @THE-laser to fix that for you. One price for both unlock sim and bootloader.

Wow..... That was a mistake. But however, you should lock your bootloader back, Another thing you can try, BEFORE you search for a way to lock your bootloader is making sure your phone is actually "Unlocked" Sometimes you run a risk when you unlock your bootloader that your phone "Re-Locks" Witch sucks, and is another complete pain in the butt battle. But its the price you pay for not paying complete attention to whats going on. Go through them steps and get back to me.
saying tyvocc
And how to relock it ? can i have a tuto or something ?
i tryed with setools it says : nothing to restore
I have x10i and i have done the bootloader unlock with flashtool, but no matter what sim i put in they can all find networks... but none will allow access to networks no matter what sim. Im from SA and i every time i reboot im asked to insert sim... already have... and on boot please insert simcard and restart. Might i add that i put my wifes vodacom sim in and no luck... i put one of those red voda sims in which is blocked then on boot it is recognised but the sim stops the boot requiring a puk number cause the sim is blocked. But my point is that the sim is noticeably recognised and wont boot the phone further unless puk code inserted. But even so i want the phone open to all networks. I have messed round with s1tool but when it tells me hold control then choose firmware im lost... cause i push control and nada happens. I see there is generic for za and sa and there is a voda sa branded one when i use flashtool to run that. I have used all the sa versions i can see or am aware of... could i be missing something... im using generic world firmware version 2.1 update 1, Kernel 2.6.29, Baseband 2.1.54 and build number 2.1.A.0.435... so what to do?

How to re-lock a bootloader !!!!!!!
Same problem with me
To re-lock the bootloader you are going to have to download the latest flashtool and use the restore option. In some cases this has helped some people get their network back but in others not.
I am one of the unfortunate ones. I also have an x10i which i have recently aquired from a friend but after upgrading to 2.3.3 it has somehow lost its ability to read any sim card i put in it. There is absolutely no network lock on it at all and i see grey signal bars as if network is there but it never ever registers a sim card and permently stays on emergency calls only.
My phone i do believe was on a contract from t-mobile in germany but if i type *#*#7378423#*#* in to the keypad it quite clearly states that their is no locks on it at all.
I am quite clearly baffled as to why this is happening on an unlocked phone, and if anybody who reads this can help please send me a message
