I have searched Internet and this forum but not find any information regarding unlocking and flashing a Swedish 3 branded TyTn.
Does someone have information about this?
Does it have the 1.09 bootloader or something that prevent unlocking/unbranding?

Most probably not, if you bought it a while ago... bootloader 1.09 is very new, but even if it has it, this doesn't mean you can't unlock/unbrand it
I must decide what to buy... 1.Unlocked,Unbranded & Expensive or
2.A 3 Branded Simlocked Less Expensive HTC TyTn.
So I want to know if somone has succeded to fix their swedish 3 branded TyTn.
The Swedish 3 branded TyTn was delayed and has been aviable to buy for the latest 2 weeks...
Do like I did, buy a Orange SPV M3100 from ebay.co.uk for like £250, which is less than 3500 kr. It looks a lot better too

Bootloader 1.06 on mine. It's new so I don't feel any need to unlock it. I'm waiting to see if 3 comes with a newer rom, since you can't watch streaming video or listen to streaming audio on the 3 portal with the current version. I have contacted customer service and am waiting for a reply.

I have 3 Athena but they seems to have sim lock any assitance on this one?

you need to contact them and request it, you might need to pay as well
I assume that having 3 means you bought them elsewhere than on contract?
Or do you have 3 contracts?
You also said Athena, not Ameo. I thought the Athena was unlocked already?
Can you clarify the situation a little please?

i think you also needs to be the original owner of Ameo inorder to unlock it. I have bough a T-mobile MDA PRO from ebay before as well, and the only way to unlock it officially is to get the owner to call them and get the code for me.
hi all is there any hardware difference between ameo and u 1000.
coz i heard that theres a micro drive issue in the ameo
No, originally people had issues with some of the Microdrives in the U1000, but that has all been sorted now. I think it was software related, but there is no difference in hardware between the two devices.

it's a easy decision for you, if you only want the silver one, go for Ameo, since it's cheaper (on ebay maybe) or just sign up a contract with T-mobile, now some thing you will need to know, All three machine (HTC Advantage, T-mobile Ameo, DOPOD U1000) has Microdrive issue, it's to do with their ROM, you are more likely to find it on Advantage compare to DOPOD U1000 OR Ameo, Actually, DOPOD U1000 is even less likely to happen compare to Ameo due to it's recent ROM update.
If you are not T-mobile customer and will be using other sim card, then you need to consider the sum unlock issue, you can get it done by paying some money.
If you are new to PDA and don't know what CID lock is, and you would want to update your ROM frequently, then t-mobile might not be such a good chose, they don't provide that must support on upgrade and currently there are no promise on WM6 update too.
So really, you should ask yourself these question, are you going to use it with other sim card other then T-mobile (other country)? will you want to upgrade to latest ROM (wm6) without breaking the warranty?
Good luck with your decision, after all, you are about to purchase a wonderful device.
Thanks wu
i am going to use another sim and its unlocked and without warranty
i think pof or asukal or gurus like u might find out how 2 unlock cid
i will go for ameo then
thanks a lot buddy
I've just upgrade hero from 3 UK, can i buy the unlocking code to unlock it just like the orange one?
Thank you
I purchase the code from http://www.unlock-htc.com ,but get refund from them, anyone know where to buy the unlocking code? thanks
This thread>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560105
may have some solutions for you. The 3 branded symbians were a little difficult for unlockers but most of them found ways to unlock, so I am sure your Hero can also be unlocked.
If you must have an unlocked Hero, you can have mine , I will swap with yours. Running Modaco 2.8 with latest radio etc.
I would like to try to unlock it myself, because it's not mine, i'm just helping my friend outside of UK
anyone tried http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
or http://www.simunlock-htchero.com/buy.html
a lot of people say they got code from the website, but i don't know if it will work on 3 branded hero, thank you

In your first post you stated about your upgrade and in the post above you wrote about helping a friend which is great. Why didnt he or you help him make correct decision to buy a unlocked GSM? Because 3 branded may not be any good until unlocked. Having said that it may work in other "3 home" networks.
Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock this phone?
Dont worry mate..
The moment some one unlocks the first windows phone they would sing it from the top of the houses...
There is no way you would miss that
The Mozart I received from Telstra did not come carrier locked. It's my understanding that no WP7 handsets can be locked by the carrier, though this might just be a Telstra thing.

All the UK WP7 handsets are carrier locked, except the HD7 (as the carrier which has it provides SIM free handsets).
I successfully SIM unlocked my Orange HTC Mozart with one of the 3rd party online services within 20 minutes. Search the web.

Maybe its all those anti-competative names Telstra have been hit with over the last few years that has turned them around. Or maybe they just haven't figured it out yet.
Hopefully should be getting one of these phones today, just wanted to know if I had room to move. Cheers guys. I'll let you know how it goes.
Correct, Telstra aren't SIM Locking any phones anymore.
Hey guys thanks for the responses.
We got the first of the phones already and can confirm that they are indeed unlocked.
is there any difference between unlocking the phone from Orange UK and from web based unlocking people?
any idea about cost involved in either case?

cant seem to find the post
searched on google and its there but link does not work
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=unlock+your+htc+mozart
he did unlock mine
the guy's name is secany on this forum
so u can send him a private message
Actually, don't have to PM me to check. You can check your phone can be unlock or not here:
http://www.nckzone.com/htc/index.php
Just type in your 15 digits IMEI and check, if it says Supernew records, then you can phone be unlock by "some" (NOT ALL) online service, I recommend here
http://www.nckzone.com , price is cheaper than other and most important is code comes in <5 mins.
If it says "No HTC tool is available for your IMEI" then you have to wait for about a week or two then try again.
Thanks Secany appearing on the horizon
I checked on the website mentioned secany and message appeared ""No HTC tool is available for your IMEI". But I found on this forum that Mozart can be unlocked. any body got mozart unlocked?
Like I say, some Mozart will give result supernew records, those units can be unlock right now.
Hello I have an HTC Hero on Orange UK and it is locked to Orange. I'm trying to get it to get it unlocked so that I can give it to my brother who is on T Mobile UK.
At first I though it would be as simple as loading a new ROM but after rooting it and installing both Villian and a Taiwanese ROM I still couldn't use the T Mobile SIM.
I am aware that the unlocking codes could be brought from Orange but I was wondering if there was a way of unlocking it with out purchasing the unlocking codes.
I have had a look online and on here for various methods but i couldn't find anything of any use. I am aware that this may not be the first time this has been asked so if you have any solutions please link me or explain...
Finally I am pretty tech able am able to do most things.
cheers
Tim
Short answer: Pay for a code
Long answer: Don't pay orange £20 for a code, go look on eBay for one. Mine cost £6.99.
Also, this does not belong in "Android development"
hey man, there is no other way then buying 6-7 pounds.. so, save your time by stop searching free sim unlock
timothy,
Orange and T-Mobile are now the same company (can't remember who bought who) so your brother should be able to use the hero straight away.
If it doesn't work then Orange should now unlock it to T-Mobile without question, considering that they are one and the same.

Please disregard this misinformed statement!
Orange and T-Mobile merged, neither bought either, and their "parent company" Everything Everywhere (lame name) was created.
They do network share, so customers can opt in to use the masts from the other network, but by no means are they the same network now.
The brands are due to remain seperate, and lets be fair
1) why would they believe that it was going to be on T-Mob, surely if they'd unlock for free without question everyone would just say that
2) they're wanting to make £25 quid out of you, and they will do for as long as its legally possible.
Once again, short answer: buy a code on ebay.
Buy a code off ebay then you have to downgrade your rom to an early modaco one cant remember which one i used , enter the code to unlock it then reflash an up to date rom.
Thats the only way to unlock a orange hero just had to do 3 off emm mate.
thanks for all suggestions i feel i will have to buy the codes cheers anyway

Is Modaco 2.9 ROM still the only method to unlock Orange UK? Currently running RCMix and rooted. Better still, how one did recently.
Cheers.
Yes think it was that one mate... it was one of the very early modaco custom roms anyway.
don't worry,use this which give different countries and provider,with unlocking code of reliable cost.
you can use that & unlock mobile mobile to T mobile .
