hey guys,
Finally got my HTC Nike Neon400 today!
Will the methods in the stickied hardSPL thread work for unlocking my device?
Do I need to have my device unlocked to tether via bluetooth to a laptop?
And does anyone have a tethering guide that i can follow that will work with my device?
Thanks in advance!
ok got tethering working with PDANet
the 35 bucks for the app is well worth it imo.
But my phone is still locked, im not sure what bell disables, i still don't know how to unlock it and im afraid to use the stickied guide because i dont know if it will work for a Neon400.
Bell does not use sim cards, so my phone does not have a simcard if that makes any difference.
Advice desperatly needed.
currently i have a htc touch pro thats on telus in canada
and was wondering if i can upgrade to different modded roms
Absolutely, I am running Juggalo Pro
do i need to unlock my phone first? or just run the rom upgrade file
You need to unlock the phone with Hard SPL. I am writing a tutorial ATM that should be of help. Should have it up tonight.
Hi guys,
Done a search, and as far as I can see, I'm going to have to pay 17 Euros to unlock my Hero. Since the recent root access breakthrough, is there an easy way to SIM unlock the Hero that may save me 17 Euros?
Cheers,
BS...
Seriously, not even one reply?
Is it possible to unlock a Magic after it's been rooted?
Cheers,
BS...
lol. be patient as the Hero forums are very small and not too much people is available to respond your questions.
I believe if you do a google search you can find cheaper solutions, however it wont happen for free. I for one had it shipped to me Factory unlocked from HTC.
if you really need sim unlock pay the money its not that much, but if your willing to wait, im sure it will come soon enough.
The phone came out within the last month, it takes a while for people to figure out things like that.
Flash the phone ?
What if you flash the phone with the hero stock rom, shouldn't that clear all sim locks etc? I flashed my phone with the factory rom to start anew, and you don't need to worry about locale(localization settings), as they seem to autosetup during the flash.
Anybody know if it works ?

Your phone will still be unlocked. If its not, remember the code and type it in again.
-- Edit -- Sorry, I completely read the question wrong, I thought you asked... "If the phone is unlocked and I flash a rom, will it lock the phone again".. God knows where I got that from

No - the SIM lock is a quite separate thing. Flashing a ROM from an unlocked Hero on a locked device will not unlock it.

Hi
This is my first post and I hope it will be helpful to anyone interested in unlocking their HTC Hero on the Orange UK network.
Goto:
HTC Hero - ROM upgrade for HTC Hero (Orange)
and download the ROM:
ROM Version:2.73.61.66 for Orange. Then you can miss out all the the MODACO rubbish, because this ROM allows you to use the code without hindrance (TESTED), Install it onto your phone, then goto:
HTC Hero Unlock Code | Unlocking.com
and purchase a SIM UNLOCK CODE (£11.99 at the moment, 50%OFF) and follow instructions to unlock your phone.
The main reason I have posted this is that "Unlocking.com" will issue you with the unlock code within 5 minutes they say between 6-12 minutes.
IT WORKS and they're one of the cheapest around. I have used them and they are really FAST and the code WORKS...
Thanks
i can comfirm i have done this and it worked for me on uk orange network.
Correct. The 2.73.61.66 update now allows all unlock codes to work as designed.
i did try and put a link to rom here but because i am a new user i am not permitted to post outside links SORRY
this is so easy also dont forget you need htc sync installed on your pc you can download it from htc too.
I think this will make a good sticky but also put in title uk orange
Anyone got a free way to unlock the phone for any sim yet? Something like a code generator or software update?
Didn't work for me

I went onto unlocking.com, and paid the £12 or however much it was.
They emailed me back in about 2 days and advised me they couldn't get a code, so they went to my network (Orange UK) and came back saying they were unable to get a code.
Went to my local unlocking place and they said there isn't a way to unlock Android phones as of yet (not without being all technical and downloading all these thingymajiggs to hack your phone and whatnot).
So I'm not too sure how I would go about getting a code to unlock my phone.
You could try following this suggestion on modaco.
The only caveat is that /some/ orange firmwares are buggy & won't accept any unlock code, however if you've rooted your phone & are running a custom rom such as MCR 3.2, you shouldn't have any problems.
Hi all new to this forum.
But i've had my htc hero for a month now , and being trying to get it unlocked ever since.
Finally today i found out that if you have the latest ROM Version 2.73.61.66
then your phone can be unlocked, apparently htc and orange put some bug in the orange htc hero's that did'nt allow unlocking , but with the new rom version this now allows unlock.
This is for orange , don't no about other networks.
Also you must have been using the phone on orange for at least 3 months .
Which means i have to wait another 2 months ,DOH, but at least ther is light at the end of the tunnel. Hope this helps.

Sorry Free Unlock is not possible to get for the latest Phones,So You need to pay for this Phone to remove Network Lock,you can get the Unlock code from here Theunlockarena.com also and Unlock it....

A quicker way - if you don't want to wait - would be to go to a website like www dot mobifreedom dot net (they charge £12.50) and get it unlocked. I got mine unlocked after T-Mobile refused to do it for me. I swore to never get back on TMobile again
Hello, I just ordered a HD2 that is locked to Tmobile, so I believe it is the 1024Leo. My main question is, Do I need to find someone with a Tmobile Sim to be able to install Hardspl or can I just hook it up to USB and run the program?
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this question, it just seemed correct.
Thank you,
-James
no you dont need a sim in to run hspl.
You know hspl wont unlock the network lock though, right?
There is no hack/unlocker for the hd2. You will need to buy a code or get one off t mo.
Hi Guys,
Sorry If this has been asked before.
I am thinking of debranding my Orange lumia 800.
Do I need to sim unlock the phone first or at all or once its debranded will my sim work? I ask because after debranding my HTC Desire I had to sim unlock before the phone would work properly.
Also are there any decent guides to follow I found one here that seems ok.
http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Le...okia-Lumia-800-Giffgaffers-guide/td-p/2891451
Any thing I should be aware of with the Orange version of the device before I dive in?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
From what i know debranding or reflashing using NCS will not remove Simlock from your phone.
The link you provided is okay to follow but as i remember there are simpler way to debrand/reflash your phone.
Orange variant should be same as other variant, so it fine to debrand.
