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.

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'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!

Hi all,
I finally purchased the Telus Hero GSM Quad Band from Canada and its on its way to India thru FedEx. Bought the Hero without contract for 599$. Does this mean it is unlocked?
Since I have bought it now, what is my next job?
1. Unlock it by purchasing a unlock code.
2. Once unlocked, can I use it as it is? or it is mandatory to upgrade or downgrade the ROM?
3. Will post some more query when it comes to my mind.
Note: Did a search and it seems all threads were stopped answering from last November. So, started a new thread.
Expecting replies, since I do not want to keep Hero in hand as a dummy piece without knowing wat to do.
T i A
you will have to unlock it... then it will work when you pop a registered sim card in..(if the bands are correct) but im guessing you checked that already
Thnx for replying..now I am sure I have to unlock. but which website? Have waded in here and most vote goes to http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
should I get one from them?
What about my second query? Is it mandatory to downgrade/upgrade my ROM?
oh sorry forgot about that... im honestly not sure about which site to use to unlock sorry, id go with one that i know people have gotn there money back from though...
and no it is not mandatory to do anything except unlock to use your phone, only install a rom if you want to
thnx a bunch m8..I am relieved now. I also believe that most ppl here who have unlocked their hero has used the link I have posted. Some have got their money refunded too if it doesnt work. Waiting for my package to arrive to knw the IMEI and start unlocking. Fingers crossed.
Guys, if you trust some other site who provides unlock codes, please suggest.
T i A
As for websites to unlock, I did some searching back in November when I got my Telus Hero. I ended up using http://www.unlock-hero.com/, as it seemed to be the most popular at the time. I had no problems with them and had my unlock code within 20 minutes. It's also well priced.
thnx for the sugg m8..need more and finally need to decide on one.
Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock this phone?
Dont worry mate..

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?

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

one last thing who do you buy them from on ebay (seller name/link) and is it always for htc hero on orange
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 .
