Hello all,
I finally talked AT&T into giving me an unlock code for my Fuze. But they said I needed to put another carriers sim in before it would prompt me for the code.
Is there another way to enter this code?
I would like to do this so I can flash a different radio.
Thanks for all the help.

Nope. Must have a non AT&T Sim, If you go to nextel, or t-mobile, they might sell you one. Besides this is NOT what you do to flash a rom, you need to read the sticky regarding SPL and Security unlocker. All the code does is sim unlock, you need security unlock and spl.
I have been flashing roms to the Fuze as well as to my 8525 for some time. But that post you cite didn't go into depth on how to unlock if and when AT&T gives you the code. It stated the only other way to do it besides an aftermarket unlocker is to get it unlocked by AT&T.
Which is what I thought they gave me. Just no directions or anything on how to do it.
You've been a member here for a year and a half, claim to have flashed Roms to both Fuze and 8525 but don't know about HardSPL or what Security Unlocked is?
Here's the short of it:
At&t provides a SIM Unlock Code so you can put another provider's SIM into your phone. The first time you do this the phone will ask for your unlock code, enter it and you're done.
HardSPL CID Unlocks your device so you can flash cooked Roms or Roms from other providers. It also prevents the SPL from being overwritten so you don't have to worry about unwanted security upgrades.
Security Unlocking is the ultimate, on a Raphael it allows you to flash properly modified BlackStone, Experia & Diamond Radio Roms. It also prevents a Radio Rom from getting locked onto you device.
Now I'm closing this thread as it has served it's prupose and cluttered the search results even further.

okay, being a newbie to the Softbank X01HT, I went through the forums, FAQs, and Wiki as much as I can...
anyway, i checked with imei-check in regards to unlocking my SIM; however, their method unlocks the SIM, as well as SuperCID the device. from what i undertand - SuperCID the device would void the warranty, correct?
this being the case, if i do use imei-check, is there a way to "undo" the SuperCID?
similary, i can also use a process that only unlocks the SIM, ie., pof's free unlocker... however, as ive read, this is NOT compatible with Softbank X01HT models released after December 2006. right?
in this case, are there any other ways to unlock the SIM?
----
on the other hand, all i need is to unlock the SIM (no need for a SuperCID) - if there are people out there who have a better idea in going about this, please teach me...
thanks in advanced...!!!
PS: here is my Softbank X01HT
ROM: 1.33.761.4
ROM Date: 11/10/06
Radio Version: 1.14.00.10
As far as I know once you supercid it can't be reversed. I believe that if you use the hard-spl to flash, supercid isn't required anymore.
Now onto the unlocking the sim. I'm also a little bit confused on the options available. Please one of the gurus here step in and offer an explanation

the way i would understand is that if imei-check.co.uk unlocker is used, there arent any issue or problems. can anyone confirm/verify this?
however, for my needs at least - all i need is for my X01HT to be SIM unlocked. i dont need it to be SuperCID, nor i need to flash any other ROM. and unfortunately, imei-check cannot do this (there are NO options for a SIM unlock-only, or a SIM unlock and SuperCID)...
i hope any of the gurus here can help, or at least confirm this understanding...
old X01HT can perfectly unlocked by V3.
how do you know the date about your X01HT produced?

well, if you look at the System Info tag in Settings you'll see a date... mine is at:
>ROM: 1.33.761.4
>ROM Date: 11/10/06
>Radio Version: 1.14.00.10
Just for clarification:
imei-check temporarily SuperCIDs your device, you lost the SuperCID status when you flash another radio on it.
With the 1.16 patched radio included in my unlocker you also temporarily SuperCID the device, then you have to run the exe file on your Hermes which will let you choose if you just want to SIM-Unlock or both (do the SuperCID sticky forever). If you don't choose the SuperCID option, then the SuperCID status is lost when you flash another radio on it.
I have had reports of people unlocking without problems X01ht devices with v3, but some others reported they can't boot OS after unlocking, and as I can't test it I put the warning, so do it at your own risk.
Anyway, I'm planning to release a new unlocker version soon

thanks for the reply, pof...
on the other hand, what do you mean by "temporarily SuperCIDs..."...? would it mean that the device is still registered to Softbank and at the same time you can flash another ROM?
all i want though is just have my device SIM-free so i dont have to deal with exorhbitant roaming rates when travelling abroad... not much privy with playing with other ROMs, yet; as well as not wanting to void my warranty.

really? what would be the new stuff that youd be adding in?
I am an owner of a BEFORE DEC. model X01HT and sim unlock&SuperCID by pof's v2a unlocker.
Since April is coming, I have to update the rom to use the net according SB. I wonder if the sim-unlock will remain after I update. i hope so sadly.
I, TOO, don't mind the SuperCID.
Anyway, thank pof ad waiting for the new unlocker.
ps: if i use another sim card other than SB, I can use WIFI or BT only about two minites continiously. then it will be disconnected automatically. Anyone else has same experience? I use SB_USIM to avoid the annoying popup.
I submit this post via my X01HT.

Does the info need updating, or do I need to do something different...
v3a [03-04-2007] - New RUU will make sure HardSPL-1.40 is installed before flashing the radio
Now the unlocking process is faster & safer

Q: After finishing the process it still asks for unlock code, what should I do?
A: Make sure you have radio version 1.16 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe on your phone and select unlock option. If entering any unlock code fails, please repeat the unlocking process again (you did something wrong the first time).

My Radio is 1.38.00.01.. will using this downgrade it to 1.16??, or do I need to pu 1.16 on before using this tool...??
Ot, once it is unlocked, can I simply stick a new radio on it???
Do I alsoneed to have the working orange sim in their.. as if I put the t-mobile sim in, it is just asking for the simlock code...
As ther eis always a chance of bricking your phone, I just want to be sure everything is ok, before I do it..!! I have the offical wm6 rom installed.
Thanks
Anyone...???
So no one has used this to unlock a phone that has HardSPL-2.10, or a later Radio....??? or reflashed their phone after unlocking...???
Once unlocked, does it remain unlocked for good???
PATIENCE....let us answer when we can!!
Your SPL will end up being downgraded to 1.40.olipro......but thats not a problem as you can just flash HardSPL 2.10.olipro again.
Your Radio WILL be downgraded to 1.16 as this is a hacked radio image which allows the SIM/CID to be unlocked.
You really should update the radio once the device is unlocked since there are BIG improvments with the new ones.
ANY SIM card will work in the device once the device is unlocked....the sim pin pad pops up when the SIM card requires the sim pin code. Obviously if you know the pin you can turn this off in phone settings.
Soory for my impatience.. Ive been biting at the bit all day, after my contract ended and waiting over 2 weeks to sort a new deal out... I was so eager to get my handset up and running...!!!
Thanks for your information... I was unsure whether you could simply re-apply the radio and spl after the unlock....
Maybe this info could be added to the sticky.. after reading through the 50 odd pages, there were many such requests, with no answers....
So as I understand, downlograding to the hacked radio simply facilitates the unlocking, rather than providing the unlock, so flashing back up after, and replacing the hacked radio with a genuine one does not reverse the unlock...
Seriously though, this could do with being on the appropriate thread about SIM/Cid unlocking....!!
Discovering this site about a month ago, and what developers and contributors have done has breathed new life into what was already a great little device...
THANK YOU!!
RAPH110 radio can not unlock
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
plz help me for unlock error thanks
I'm assuming by your post that you are able to flash custom ROM's to your device as you have HardSPL applied. I'll also assume that you have SIM Unlocked your device so that you can use any SIM card in your device. I'll also assume that you had a look at the Wiki and various threads at the top of this forum.
Until you get the Security Unlock applied to your device, you will be restricted as far as what radio you can flash to your device. You will need to obtain the Security Unlock from the Olinex (Olipro & cmonex) web site ... http://raphael.htc-unlocks.com.

Atrix network locked"phone is subsidy locked"or"network unlock request unsuccessful"
Hi, I have atrix, borught in last year and got reaplced with at&t in feb2012..It was under the at&t policy so got replaced with refub atrix in feb 2012.
I was travelling abroad in may2012 (india) so I asked the unlock code. they provided me the code.. But unforchunately I enter wrong code 10 to 20 times (i know I am stupid here)... So contacted to at&t cust care.. they said you have correct code... now it has not working with at&t sim also...
so could you guys please tell me the solution to unlock sim so I can use in India???
My atrix is 4.5.91 with baseband 1.77.36
I rooted, unlock bootloader, and factory reset few times already...
Even now it was asking "sim network" unlock code but it wasnt successfull...it give me message "phone is subsidy locked"or"network unlock request unsuccessful"
Is it possible to use custom rom or new update 4.5.141 or any international baseband to use in India or atlead accept unlock code so I can use it...
THanks
PS I am not expert in phone roots or customs etc..but I am above average (with instr I can format or updates roms)
all i can say is that i have read in the forum that if u change ur radio then even valid unlock code wont work. so my suggestion it to get back to stock every thing (as much as possible) and try the unlock code again.
try using fruitcake to get back to stock and best of luck with that

I have changed my radio many times and unlocked without any issues a few weeks back after getting the code from AT&T. I fail to see how a change in radio will prevent SIM/network unlock when AT&T themselves update the radio through their OTA upgrades. Even after unlock you can still continue to OTA with AT&T, have your radio updated through the OTA, (with a stock phone and locked bootloader of course), and not have problems. Without researching what you say further, I can only assume that changing the radio from AT&T to an international variant might cause problems. Do you have a link to where you read this?
Also, when you have used all attempts to network unlock, (10 tries I believe), you are hard locked.
I attempted to move on stock 4.5.91 and tried to unlock but still not able to
"phone is subsidy locked contact your network provider"
Is there way out from here

Guys - I have a HTC Titan ATT locked phone. I am trying to use it with TMobil - have the unlock code from ebay, but every time it boots, it asks for code that is a great nuisance. I have HSPL but stuck on radio 16. So none of the custom roms work for me that require radio 17.
Can anyone please point me to a ROM that is fully unlocked and uses Radio 16?
Thanks

You need to insert the T-Mobile sim card into the phone; it will then ask for the subsidy unlock code, you punch it in and you will never have to punch that code in again; you're done! If your device is HSPL you are one lucky, lucky individual. I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, the next (logical) step is to flash a custom ROM; as you see below on my signature I use Eburon 2.1. If you opt to flash a custom ROM, it's cake! As you see below I use Eburon 2.1; the required radio is 17. I flashed the ROM first and restarted the phone once again in bootloader mode and flashed the radio; once you've done both...you're good to go. If you're dead set on radio 16 you're going to have to look around for a ROM that uses it; the Dynamic and Eburon are incompatible with radio 17 as you may already know. I don't know if there are radio 16 custom/stock ROMs available here. I do my level best to stay clear of official stock ROMs, I actually lost the HSPL on my phone and it took an act of God to get it back.
Not so straight with ATT Titan
You may know this already - HTC Titan devices are having trouble with the SPL / HSPL - it seems I have HSPL on my phone but it is not letting me use any custom rom that requires radio 17. I am stuck on radio 16.
Perhaps I need a fully unlocked rom that corresponds to radio 16.
Thanks

You're right. Yesterday I sent to lund123 my 7.8 (0409 only) rom based on 2.05 OEM and radio 16. He flashed it but his phone is carrier-locked. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141488

SIM Lock has nothing common with sianto or anything else.
Carrier lock is placed (like IMEI) in the first 256 kb region of flash data. You can not flash anything that will make some magic work. SIM unlock code should be obtained from carrier or bought online (but it must be generated with unique IMEI number of the phone)
Just to keep things in perspective - I have the 3rd party unlock code, it unlocks the phone, but fogets about it on a reboot. So it is not that I do not have an unlock code, I do.
So now I have installed a full unlocked ROM with Radio 16 from andrew, and I still continue to remain locked to ATT - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

What does 3rd party unlock mean? I'm not trying to be an ass about this but is your phone subsidy unlocked or not?
3rd Party = ebay provided unlock code, and not directly from the carrier (in my mind).
