I have a himalayas xda2...have hopefully unlocked it with software can i check without a new card?I have not decided which pay as u go card to get yet?
Which would be the best to go with?
Go to one of your friends and borrow a sim card of an different provider than yours.
If the phone works -> unlocked. If you have to enter a SID-Code or anything else than the Sim digit -> locked....
You just hve a problem if no one of your friends have an other mobile provider. But in this case i wouldn´t choose any other provider for myself.....

It could be a problem with the SIM unrelated to unlocking.
Does the SIM work in another phone? Does the SIM that came with the XDA2 still work? Have you tried another hard reset?
i tryed different SIM cards! the sim cards working fine! The original card not working anymore! I flashed the 1.6.0 in it now and the same radio stack seems not working fine! Can we rewrite the GSM settings again (maybe corupted)?

So you also re-flashed it with a different ROM? I suspect that the problems are more related to this than due to the unlocking. The unlocking uses the official interface and no unorthodox methods are used to unlock it. I've had no reports from anyone that the phone did not work afterwards or even that the unlock code did not work. It is important to consider all aspects that could have influence else you might be hunting for the wrong solution.
Don't know what is realy rong with it. I locke it back (AT%HTCLOCK...) and now radio at least saying Searching (with same firmware). Do u have a full gsm backup (tunning as well?) maybe is something messed there.
I use ICQ or MSN or Yahoo messager can u please PM with ur details saw we can chat live?
Thank's
Try to change the band

Radio does not work after unlock
Got the unlock code from Cingular. The code was accepted. Entered T-Mobile SIM but then phone will not make or receive calls. Even after putting original Cingular SIM it will not work.
Inserted another Cingular SIM and attempted call. It starts working. However, if I put T-Mobile SIM it would go back to same state.
Any help would be appreciated.
It is MDA 3 from Siemens for Cingular with Radio version 1.02.10
Hello,
I am contacting you because I have a problem with my phone TG01.
In fact, I had the intelligence (French irony) to put a code into the phone to prevent change sim card, for example if I were to lose it.
However, I recently changed mobile operator and SIM card accordingly. The phone is unlocked, I'm doing the procedure with Orange at the time. However, I do not remember the code I put in place to prevent change sim card.
If you have an idea to make my phone work again, she is welcome
I said that I have tried new ROM and also I reinstalled the original ROM ... Nothing changes ...

If you changed the PIN from default i.e. 1234 or something similar, then all you can do is go to one of the websites where you can pay and get this unlocked.
However, one thing to try before that is - call the operator whose SIM you used first. That operator help you unlock that SIM LOCK and then you can re-insert the new SIM. It might also be helpful if you try and ask your new operator if they can help (highly unlikely!)
Hello all
I recently got a great deal for a Vibrant (150$ contract free, looking brand new ).
I live in Europe and I already own a Galaxy S, so I thought "hacking" the Vibrand would be a piece of cake... well it wasn't Finally after reading a ton of stuff here on the forums I managed to beat it using Odin.
After finally getting root the first thing I did was to download Galaxy S unlocker from the Market so I could use it with a local SIM card... and it failed. The app couldn't find any codes? and neither the root or non-root method worked.
The Vibrant recognizes that there's a SIM card, and even asks me for a PIN on boot... then nothing happens. When I try to make a call, "Data network not available" is displayed.
The network here is GSM 900/1800.
I'm currently on the deodexed KB5 2.2 ROM flashed via CWM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hmm...I believe there was another method to unlocking it other than the Galaxy S unlocker program you have. It will require root which you have.
Search around the Vibrant forums, I think it was from at least a few months back.

Yes, I found it but I'm not sure wheter it's a lock issue (it said "no codes found") or I have to flash an European modem or something. I'll try it anyway and report any results.
No luck
All the methods work for 2.1 and I'm on Froyo KB5.
Plus it's not really an unlock code issue..
It's rather... the SIM card doing nothing.
- Is it insearted?
Yes
- Does the phone recognize there's a SIM card?
Yes
- If you have a PIN, does it ask for it on boot?
Yes
- Well what's wrong then?
I can't do anything else with the SIM... not even join a network
Did you per any chance lock your SIM card with a PIN code?
Cause if you did, it is asking for the code that you locked it with. . .
Try another, UNLOCKED SIM card just to be sure that's not the issue.
The phone SHOULD ask you for an unlock code only. A pin code request (unless you are reading the unlock code as a pin code) means the SIM card is locked.
The card was unlocked, I put the PIN on purpose later, just to see if it'd recognize that
Then what is the issue? Without the PIN, it recognizes the SIM and loads up fine but doesn't get on any network?
Yes!
And that way it's just a VERY overpowered iPod touch. Would be nice if I could actually make phone calls from it, but if not - whatever.
I remember anything above 2.1 theres an issue with the SGS unlocker on the market. I had to use a different method, and I don't remember where I received the instructions from, but I did find this for you on youtube. Please do watch the whole video as the person has the same problem, but runs you through the steps to unlocking by using a different method.

gosh... no dice.
The phone never asks me for any unlock code, just stuck on "Searching"
Try a different modem. If not then try a different rom..may be?
Why not just odin back to stock,reroot, and try to unlock it before flashing a rom

Hello,
It is my first post, I just bought my htc 7 mozart.
I want to unlock it, so i could use my polish carrier sim card (carrier name Play).
I have sim-unlock code that i got after giving my imei number.
My question is when do i write this sim-unlock code?
Many quides on net say that i should insert my sim card (not orange uk but polish play) and after switching on the phone will be displayed area for entering this code.
When i turn device on i get information that there is no sim or it is invalid and i have 2 options :
1 click 'emergency call' (in this area) i cant type my unlock code.
2 click 'close' and device continues booting and after few sec i get main wp7 screen.
So i'm not asked for my unlock code.
Where in this phone is place to type sim unlock code?
I've seen some people here unlocked their htc mozarts with code, could someone write please how it can be done?
I say once again it's locked on orange uk.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks in advance guys.
Will debranding/flashing help?
There must be an option to unlock it via code...
When i use my polish card or no card at all in mainscreen of wp7 i see a cell 'no sim' i click it and again emergency calls only.
Where to type this sim-unlock code?
When I unlocked my Orange UK phone, it asked for a pin when I inserted my O2 sim card. This was when I entered the unlock code and after that it's been fine.
I don't see why an overseas SIM would be different, but one way round this would be to buy a UK PAYG sim from eBay or similar, then use that to unlock, then use your sim after that?
IT'S DONE
I was inserting sim card wrong way, when i had put it properly i was asked for unlock code.
I have my mango beta on it, i have to test many applications now
if someone have any questions about how to update to mango pls write ill try help.
Hello,
I'm new in WP7, I just got an HTC 7 Mozart, locked to Swiss Orange. So I wonder if is possible to unlock for free, or is there any specific tool for that. Any help would be appreciated.
WELL I KNOW I DID A HUGE MISTAKE AND I M AN IDIOT AND I HAD TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST

and now i ve lost my signal
when i look for network operator it give me all of them. but it cant connect to my netork operator .sim toolkit is still working
it look like he dont recognize my sim card . WHAT SHOULD I DO

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
