I've unlocked a Touch Dual for free, but that was only ONE.
I need one or two more devices to try the "solution".
If anybody feels like trying, just send a private message and I'll send you the instructions.
(The steps are very easy)
EDIT: Sorry, guys, this doesn't work.
I'll need you to go to jocky's thread:

YES, this also unlocks the SIM! (Yaaayyy!!! .. ??)
I use this!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395945
I need to use the search button first then...
B.t.w. thanks to the VERY talented jockyw2001...
But for people that couldn't unlock it with jockyw2001's software should pm me...
For example: KPN Touch Dual's shouldn't be able to get unlocked with that software.
Maybe I can help you.
You can also try this:
- Take out the memory card.
- Put your working sim card in your device and put your device on.
- Check to see that you have a network signal.
- Take your working sim card out of the device and put in a sim card which doesn't work on your device WITH PIN ENABLED
- Turn on your phone --> BUT DON'T ENTER THE PIN CODE.
- Now download http://www.imei-check.co.uk/NIKIv2Unlock.zip and open the software.
- Check if your device is unlocked.
(Normally the NIKIv2Unlock.zip gives you a file which you need to send to imei-check to get your device unlocked for 18 GBP, but this way it should be unlocked for free)
I had a *.unl in the same folder, but if I'm not mistaken, the software doesn't check if it's there.)

why didn't you ask cingular when you called them??
i suppose if you insert a sim card from another company, a device will ask you for an unlock code.
Unlock Procedure
On devices I've used in the past:
Insert non-Cingular SIM into the device
Turn on device
Enter code when asked for it
Use unlocked device
If you don't have a non-Cingular SIM you wish to use you'll gain nothing from unlocking the device.

I travel a lot internationally for work...does this mean you have to enter this code with each sim card?.
I know on my samsung t809...there are a unique sequence of buttons you enter to get into the maintance screen...this will unlock permanently.
can anybody help me i just brought and tmobile htc hd2 and its not unlocked i have att service. does anyone know of a place where i caN GET FREE CODES????????????????? thanx in advance
no, sorry. Pay websites, or t mobile. No unlocker for the hd2 (that we know about)
But you can get it for $10.70 from this guy on ebay ....
I did not even need mine unlocked yet , but for $10.70 , just had to do it, got my unlock code in about 15 minutes , and it worked fine ...
Btw you can use file explorer or whatever, browse to /windows , and run simlock.exe and unlock your phone even if you do not have a foreign sim card ...

I've used him several times in the past and never had any problems. Even on a Saturday he got me an unlock code within an hour. During the week - 10-15 minutes.
Do you have a friend with TMobile? Have him/her put their sim in your HD2 and then have them call TMobile from the phone requesting to unlock the phone.
Let them tell TMobile that they are planning on going out of the country and want to be able to use various providers. Tmobile will provide the unlock code to a current tmobile user.

What exactly do you mean by this? I have a TMOUS HD2 coming and will need to unlock it from Tmobile. Are you saying this is all that will have to be done to unlock it?
Thanks, I've done a ton of searching and there are not concise answers to this that I have found.

Dont get excited, , what it means is that rather than have to put a different sim into the phone to automatically bring up the unlock code wizard so you can enter the code, you can start the wizard manually and enter the code, thus you can unlock it whilst you still only have the tmo sim to work with.
Ah, thanks. I figured it wasn't what it sounded like.
So, "the guy from eBay" seems to be the place to go for a quick and successful unlock code? The price is right anyway.
Thanks
Yea. seems to get pretty good feedback. I got mine from O2, took them 6months, lol, but hey, it was free, and i didnt actually need it unlocked.
Hi to all!
I am about to give my Samsung Galaxy S II to samsung service shop. I have unlocked it, and now I would like to have it back locked.
Is it actually possible?
I've found the description how to re-lock SGS, but that doesnt work on SGS 2.
So, any suggestions?

Thank you for the recommendation! That has really worked, my phone is locked now!
But...
I changed HEX 0x00 to 0x01, it is locked, but for which network? I tried to insert its "original" sim, it thinks, that its another network and asks me to enter unlock code.
Well, the unlock code I have is suitable. But how to lock it for a particular MNC?
I've tried really lots of service codes. No luck.
The only one from SIMLOCK-on-off combinations that works is #7465625*27*# (enables CP lock).
Is it somehow possible to put the MNC code for the network, for wich the phone should be unlocked, via PC (nv_data etc.)?
Are there any other codes/ways to lock the SGS 2?

You cannot just reverse it like that, it would require more to be done, if anyone is interested I can add the info for locking too, but I think tururum will be sorted by my last PM to him
The problem solved! I must thank Odia for helping me. That is his method.
I renamed /efs/imei/keystr to /efs/imei/keystr.OLD and after that I had got no problems with entering re-lock key (the same as for I9000).
The phone was kindly accepted by service shop and succesfully repaired.

Hello, I need that information too. Please share with me. I would like to network lock again my phone that I can use my warranty. Please help.

Hello All,
I have the Xperia X10 (SO-01B) from NTT Docomo, Japan.
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version: 2.0.52
Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCHost#1
Build #: 2.0.1.B.0.19
I have an unlock code but can't seem to figure out how to enter it into the phone.
When I put in either a T-Mobile or AT&T sim card, the sim card pic at the top of the phone has an "x" in it. I've watched the youtube video about unlocking and I don't get the screen to enter the code.
I've been reading a lot through XDA-developers and other sites and I'm getting conflicting info. Some say I need to flash a new ROM; some say I don't need to.
I'm not real confident flashing a ROM on this phone. Did it with my Treo years ago but I had a better handle on that phone...not so much with this Droid.
One last thing, where I'm staying only has an eMac for my use.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
If I remember correctly, all you had to do was pop in a different sim card (like a T-Mobile or AT&T) and restart your phone. The X10 would then prompt you to enter some sort of unlock code like a sim pin or something like that. With my once AT&T locked X10, any code I would enter wouldn't work. I suggest you fork over the $50 clams or so for a USB Data Cable unlock. It's a program that you pay for and download that gets you one unlock credit that unlocks
your X10. That's what I did and it worked beautifully. Just follow the directions, connect your phone to your comp, the flash tool will do its thing and it should successfully unlock your X10. Hope this helps.

Yep, popped in the different sim card and restarted the phone. But I was never prompted to enter an unlock code. The phone goes right to my welcome screen and shows an "x" over the sim card.
Does the USB data cable unlock require a PC or will it work on a MAC?

Try pressing this combo from the lock screen when you got your SIM that works with the phone in.
Home>Back>Back>Home>Back>Home>Home>Back
That will get you in to the Service Menu. Then go in to the Service Info and press The SIM lock menu.
That gives you a screen that looks like the one i attached.
If your number next to "Network" says 0 you can't unlock it with a code.
Your screen will most likely have [ X ] when it's locked.

Believe you have to unbrand the phone there are other threads that talk about this.
BTW where did you get your code.
For Softbank , NTT Docomo etc.. you must get onto a stock rom ie an unbranded one for the phone to prompt you to enter the code.
If not you must do it using the USB cable method.
The unlock screen has been disabled on softbank and docomo firmwares.
I have the same problem~
Hi guys,

for using any operator simcard :
1. you need unlock jetstream from htcdev.com
2. then root device, for this google it (e.g. how to root jetstream)
3. use any simcard you want !
wait u will see WIFI not working sad!!!
4. for fixing WIFI problem install wifix application (just work on rooted devices)
now u can use simcard and wifi both
I think the peyman_021 meant "How do I perform a SIM unlock?" and not "How do I unlock my bootloader?". In order to perform a SIM unlock (henceforth carrier unlock) on your Jetstream you will need to determine your IMEI and then use a carrier unlocking site.
Find out your IMEI:
On any device with a dialer you can call *#06#. This preferable because it is consistent across all operating systems (i.e. Android, iOS, Blackberry OS, Windows Mobile). Alternatively, you can navigate menus -- usually starting with Settings->About. This number (it does not feature letters) is essentially your cellular radio serial number.
Use Carrier Unlocking Site
There are many sites out there so find something or someone to guide you towards the best ones. As with most things price is often the determining factor.
You will need an online payment mechanism such as a credit card. They can cost as little as $10 USD and as much as $30 USD -- in my experience. They will ask you to enter your IMEI and sometimes your device make/model -- though the latter is redundant.
Once you submit your IMEI and payment then you will need to wait for an unlock code. It can takes minutes, hours and maybe even days for the site to reply -- typically via email. The unlock code is short and entirely numeric.
In order to enter the unlock screen you will have to trigger the enter lock screen dialog. On the Jetstream this is done by inserting a SIM card that is not from the original carrier. Most devices require you to power off to insert a different SIM, but the Jetstream can hot swap. Enter the unlock code and you are done.
Note that on the Jetstream you need to have a lock screen enabled to trigger the enter unlock code dialog. Perplexingly, it is the actual lock screen that triggers the enter unlock code dialog.
You should note that carrier unlocking is permanent, but since it is an improvement that is a good thing.
hi, where to get the wifi fix application? thanks so much in advance.

I don't know what peyman_021 means here, but a clue is that he mentions needing a rooted device. This probably means changes to the /system partition.
Users of the kernel made by DooMLoRD require an updated wifi module. That is the closest thing I can think of to a "wifi fix application".
If you can post a screen capture of your problem then we may have more information to help you with. Download a screen capture app or simply take a picture of your screen and post it here.
You also might want to consider 1) unlocking your bootloader then 2) installing a custom recovery then 3) installing the custom kernel by DooMLoRD. I suspect this will give you a better performing kernel and working wifi.
