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??

Ok, I'm just ecstatic b/c I just got my Vario II unlocked! I did have to pay for it but I believe anyone can do it (I'm in the US and it was just horrible when I got the Vario 2 and it was locked to the T-mobile UK when I us T-mobile US and they weren't compatible--but this process worked and should work to unlock it to all GSM networks).
Well here's what I did --I bought the unlock code (38 USD) from www.gsmliberty.com and then downloaded the unlocking program from www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php I followed the instructions for the "imei-check" page with the unlock code from the gsmliberty page (b/c they didn't have the proper unlocking program, but "imei-check" did). So I had to do it a few times, but if you remove your microSD and even the "spacer" it should work. (I tried it once and it didn't work; I reset the device then removed the "plastic microSD spacer" and then it worked--I'm not sure if that was the problem or not--we are just in the beginning stages of this development.)
Ok, so if you do it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE download the USB monitoring programs as it seems the developers are in need of the code you can retrieve from the usb reads. Save the log files and let us know when you get them.
The first usb monitoring program is from http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Products/home/usb-monitor.html and download the trial. The second is from http://www.sourcequest.com/template.jsp;jsessionid=EDF03FE41E63246BF3446E94D94ABE03?PAGE_ID=homeTry and you can download the trial there too.
Please help the developers to figure out why this worked. Everyone's effort is needed!
If you need any other info from me, let me know and I'll do my best to help out with this endeavor.
[It's a bummer b/c I had been monitoring all my USB activity with the USB Monitor and then the SourceQuest one as well, but I kept having to restart and reset my device and thought I wouldn't have any luck, so the last time I did it, I didn't run those programs, and of course that's the time it work--wouldn't you know.]
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but you paid money to this company who appear to be providing codes for IMEI-Check's technology either legitimately, or, more likely, fraudulently. You then ask everyone else to spend money with this same company, and even ask them to help reverse engineer the original technology which IMEI-Check have spent time and money developing?
So, would it be fair to assume you work for GSM Liberty?
EH ? I don't get it ?
Why not just pay the $38 straight to IMEI-check and be done with it ?
Aside from the moral issue - I could understand (or at least see the point ) if the other company were selling codes for a lower price - but to suggest people pay the same amount to a third party company for the same code to use with IMEI check's unlocker is wierd , to say the least !
OR am I missing something ?
I'm not a spy.
I do apologize. I didn't realize that IMEI-check was working for the Vario 2, so when I found out that the gsmliberty unlocking was working I thought I'd tell everybody. (Originally IMEI-check wasn't able to unlock the Vario 2--there was reported problems on the other forums.)
So I looked for another option. And of course after you guys wrote, I see IMEI-check can unlock it, so I didn't mean any harm or immoral action--just development of the unlcoking software for the xda developers.
Cheaper to get the unlock code from t-mobile
does anyone know of a way to unlock the phone with any software from xda developers?

Look here. Was working properly for me.
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.
Hi,
While all of us are patiently waiting for pof to release his updated simunlock tool for the new batches of X01HT. Has anyone of us tried alternative methods?
Below are my findings:
1. http://imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php Does not support white X01HT
2. http://www.jictechnology.co.uk/products/jic_nextgen_server.shtml Not clearly indicated whether it is supported or not.
3. http://www.mobile2mobile.net/unlock/RemoteunlockingHTCPocketPC.htm ???
I have made an interesting observation. There are many ebay sellers selling unlocked white X01HT. So are they so lucky that they could get unpowered white X01HT, unlock it with POF's tool or they have another way to unlock it?
Cheers
i send mail JIC.
mobilemobile.net can't unlock.
Note: Softbank X01HT SPL1.09 and radio 1.14.00.10 are not supported for unlocking.

JIC can't unlock yet.
Is there other unlocker?
I am still trying to find one, No luck!
Possible unlock with JIC nextgen server?
I have purchased a credit to test with the above provider. In so far. they are the only one that says can unlock any version.
http://www.nextgenserver.com/
I would assume their tech support is knowledgeable about their product as they have told me multiple times it will work.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts, the unlock client will hang at "negotiating with server....." the tech helped to diagnose and claimed that they are too many hops and long latency between my isp and theirs. As such, it will never work.
I still believe is their ability to unlock new rom after April 2007. Is there anyone in the UK whom would like to try it out? I don't think there should be any more hop/latency excuse for UK customers.
Cheers
I can get codes to do unlock. PM for details.
edit: plz wait until I receive confirmation that the code works before requesting any. Keep the board clean and do not post here.
Is it $50 why?

blackhicks ordered a code from me. he will keep this thread updated when he gets his code.
and pof got a freebie that unlocked one of his.
im also waiting for the code
and may pof will succed in upgrading the radio rom
If your phone is asking for a code, do not try to enter code unless you KNOW its the code. Too many attempts and the phone may not be unlockable by code and you will have to wait for another software unlocker like pof's v3a (v4a?).
The Wait is over
Guys,
It's done! Kevin's code worked flawlessly...
I know it's not free, but I waited 3 months for it. It's worth every cent and at least now I can use my phone like a phone
Well there are limitations like no radio upgrades, radio boot loader cannot be changed ...but other than that, no issue with phone function.
I did ran into some problem initially as I could not "trigger" the ask for unlock code screen. I tried doing the [email protected] command with no avail partly due to bootloader version. Eventually I gave up and tried flashing it to the Docomo rom. Upon power up, the unlock screen came out, punched in the magic number and the phone came to life...
A word about Kevin, he is a 5 Stars seller, for a moment, I thought he came from a city that never sleeps... Great seller!!
Cheers
I am waiting your code ....

yeah, it works great. i ran into some initial problems too, but np then.
A very recommended seller, fast and generous. I'll collect more phone to you
Thanks Kev
yeah, have you ever sleep
Just to let everyone know. I only have a couple of codes left and it will be first come first serve until they are gone.
I don't know if I will be getting more codes right now, but I might in a few weeks (I am kind of broke right now).
When I run out of codes, I will post here and tell where you can get the codes after mine run out.
This is not my business; I was just trying to help out a few people. The person I get the codes from is the same attitude, so he can be trusted as well! Good luck everyone!
Thanks to everyone,
Kevin
I have new x01ht with radio 1.14.01.10 , can not unlock SIM
Unlock Code for Post April Hermes/8525
Hi,

Please email me your price and method of payment to [email protected]. I'm new at this so please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but after using this unlock code... will I still be able to upgrade to WM6?

I'm using a Rebel Sim II in my Orange locked Hero, and it's working perfectly. I also flashed it with a Generic firmware, instead of the orange one.
@dobbs2010
well i was looking for a more software oriented solution. rebel SIMs are kinds flimsy and i tend to lose them
i was reading about a CID-unlock but that requires a fair bit of tinkering in the workshop and although i am not averse to the whole idea i would rather rty something simpleer if i have the choice. i heard the t-mobile one isnt locked and can be unlocked with a code.

The T-Mobile Hero does not seem to have the problem with respect to getting an unlock code. However, I'd imagine we'll be seeing quite a few T-Mobile Hero's turning up on Ebay with the T-Mobile 2.73 update already installed, which means you won't be able to root the device or flash a custom ROM (yet!), so I'd be very careful before getting a TMo Hero right now.

@foxmeister
so i am assuming the 2.73.xxx android update is responsible for patching holes in code that allowed sim unlocks in the earlier heros. would that be true?
so is there any way i can unlock a new hero on 2.73.xx now? anyone?
No, the issues with the un-rootable 2.73 ROMs and Orange SIM unlocks are completely separate. There were problems unlocking Orange codes prior to the latest update.
As I understand it, you have two options at present.
1. Contact Orange and ask for the unlock code, as they seem to be the only people able to supply it.
2. Use a Rebel SIM.
Regards,
Dave
@foxmeister
i was afraid you would say that. We can safely say that i cannot ask orange for the codes. and the rebel SIM i would have to explore more. Is there maybe a way to SIM unlock these babies in the near future? is someone working on it? I am a recent iPhone convert so I am used to having this warm feeling inside that someone somewhere is always working on a jailbreak
There must be a way!!!
There probably is - it just isn't known yet!

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.
