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,
I am a long time user but first time poster on this forum. I have had many WM phones and am currently fighting my newly purchased TG01.
I have an unlock code from Vitamise but no matter what I try I can not get the phone to bring up the simunlock screen.
I have tried the original tosh / orange rom and several custom roms. The tosh / orange rom does nothing just shows "searching..." and all the custom roms I have tried tell me they have a problem loading "simunlockp.exe" when I insert my O2 sim. My have an Orange sim which works fine so it isn't a radio problem.
Is there anyway to manually call the simunlock mode? Or am I totally missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help, I have silently solved so many problems with info from this site and this is the first time I am at a loss.

First of all:
as far as I know you can unlock tg01 on original/stock(toshiba) ROMs only!
Yeah I read about that.
It had the original orange / tosh rom when I got it and to be totally sure I reflashed it with the rom from the tosh website. Still no luck, no unlock screen, just "searching..." and "Sim Blocked" displaying on the orange home screen.
i have the exact same problem anyone got a solution PLEASE ! even tried flashing back to the stock rom and says invalid wont flash it ? (from toshiba website)

You have to use SDDL+ to flash the orginal rom back to the phone
Yeah I had that problem too, the file you need is in this forum just search for it.
I am on the original rom but still no luck.
I took the phone into an orange shop today, they had a look and declared it was "weird" that it wasn't showing the unlock screen, I then spent ten minutes on hold to customer services who also decided it was weird and told me the "technical team" will call me back in the next couple of days.
Is there anyway to call the unlock screen manually, or unlock the phone with a code from the dialler like when you use *#06# to display the IMEI?

Ok, I have heard stuff about limited functionality and possible damage to your phone when using these things... is that true?
this might be a little off topic but i heard that if you type 3 ulock codes wrong you can not unlock you device
if is not true please provide a link because i didn't find one

Right, went to a phone unlocking shop today and the guy basically told me he has never successfully unlocked an Orange TG01.
He also told me he had to stop selling rebel sims as he had way too many complaints from his customers about them not working, he had a some left though and agreed to sell me one real cheap as long as I promise not to return it
I got one for a quid and can confirm it doesn't work, I get all functions but can't receive incoming calls or texts.
Basically I am giving up and will sell this locked phone to buy an unlocked one.
Thanks to everyone one this forum for all the help and discussion though, just seems the Orange TG01 is impossible to unlock....
You can also try app from this thread Maybe you will be the most lucky person here

You don't need to spend such an amount of money(30eur): vitamise do the job for 10gbp~11eur, quick&accurate.
P.S.Yes, it is true.
For safety: (on stock toshiba ROM) put a sim not supported by your tg01 and if asks for unlock code everything should be ok for a future unlock by code.
Use vitamise service with no fear, he has best recommendations...
I have unlocked Orange TG01. Vitamise sent me unlock code and everything was OK. I can recommend him. In the beginning I had no idea how to use the unlock code but he told me to try hard reset with locked sim inside. I did it and then I was asked for unlock code...

Not sure what you're talking about, but ROM flashing has nothing to do with sim unlocking. If you're not using an official sim for the carrier your phone came from, you have to buy an unlock pin online or try to get one from the carrier.
hmm
I removed the number from my post ... seems like i cant remove it from the replied one .
I bought from AT&T and came to india ...... Now it is keeping on asking for the unlock pin
i was desperate .,., any idea , where i can get an unlock pin is helpful
any software ?

One thing you can do is buy an unlock code, like check eBay, I highly doubt you'll be capable of getting software to do it

Fastboot oem unlock does NOT sim-unlock the phone!!!! It unlocks the bootloader!!! *facepalm*

oh, that is great. how long did ATT take to give you the unlock code? What did ATT ask, apart from IMEI? ATT mobile number needed?? I don't have ATT mobile number....
ducati - same situation for me as well .. i dont have ATT SIM .,., but the phone is locked for SIM
What should i tell ATT ?
Any ideas ?
Can any one tell me, what all i need to talk to ATT for getting this pin ?
Any news, guys?
I also have Atrix from AT&T and its locked with my sim.
How can I get the unlock code? send them an email?
Thanks.

Hi, i`ve bought an unlock code for 5 euro. And i recieved it. But the problem is i dont know how to enter it. When you put a foreign sim card to locked phone it asks for code i think. But photon does not ask any codes. How can i enter the unlock code i bought? Was that just a waste of money?
Please HEEEELP!!!

yes that was a waste of money. the phone is already UNLOCKED for international usage but it is locked for any other sim carrier in the USA. outside of usa you can use it freely.
But i wanted to get rid of the registering process on startup

start up process is common with all android devices.
one time process as long yu do not factory reset.
Next time donate 5euro to some dev so that we have some goodies.
I have a factory locked S3, but my provider gives out the unlocking code for free. I put in a sim from another provider, got asked for the code, entered it and it worked.
I then rooted the phone.
However, after a few days I wanted to remove root and reflashed stock firmware with Odin. I searched out the proper file here at xda and flashed it. I then got an error about messaging stopped everytime I booted and searched some more. The solution was to flash with Odin again, but check upgrade bootloader. After that the phone works fine and everything is in place like it was new.
But, my phone has been locked again and my code does not work anymore. I have called my provider (leaving out the root and flashingpart) and they say that if the unlock is not working I must send it to them so they can unlock it.
So I have these questions:
1. Having done what I have done, will TriangleAway + reflashing stock with Odin remove every trace of my "tampering"?
2. What can they do to the phone that I cannot do myself with som advice from xda?
3. How many attempts are there of entering the unlock code? It still asks for a code. I do not get any message about too many tries. But I have must have punched the code more than three times...
I have read that people get their IMEI changed when reflashing, but mine is still original. I can not understand why the operator lock has come back.
Please help!
1) I believe so yes (not sure, I'm new to this forum just what I've read)
2) They can block the IMEI if the phone was lost/stolen
3) I am not sure with Samsung/Android phones but when I was unlocking my mums Nokia C3 it only allowed me to enter a code three times before displaying an error message.
It is not stolen or lost. I have bought it from my operator myself. I talked to them today and there is no block on this phone. It does work with my operators sim, but no other sims.
My question was that they can do to unlock ut that I cannot do myself?

Everything, they are your carrier.
None of us can generate unlock codes for the phone, they can get the unlock codes and make sure it's 100% unlocked

That's not an unlock code though it's just temporary. A factory unlock is permanent (or so it should be)

I spoke to my carrier and they said that there was only one valid code for my IMEI, and that does not work anymore. It did work once, but after reflashing the firmware with Odin, the lock came back and now the code does not work.
Perhaps they just replace the phone with a swap unit? Therefore I ask again, will TriangleAway and reflashing stock remove all traces of rooting/tampering? If not I will get the phone back and be forced to pay for the service as well.
+1 for this problem.
I unlocked mine with the voodoo unlocker and was fine for a couple of months. Flashed a newer version of cm10 and was asked to enter Sim unlock code. This time I got the pin from my carrier but with that number it says Sim unlock unsuccessful.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know of a solution?
At the moment I just have a fancy mp3 player/camera :silly:
Voodoo sim doesn't work properly with then latest firmwarea but theres a new app 'Galaxsim-unlock' that I can recommend. Your'llshare find it over in the themes and apps section

You can try to use Valhalla ( Voodoo has disappeared from the Play Store ) :
http://donmacsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012_06_01_archive.html?m=1
I've managed to get mine back to unlocked.
I was on cm10 and then when flashing a newer version the lock came back. I was originally using voodoo sim unlock but that wouldnt work this time so rang my carrier and got an official code which would not work either.
Flashed back to stock using odin making sure to use the network branded ROM i was originally on and not just a stock ROM, then enter the code the carrier gave me and this time it worked!
Guessing you must be running a stock carrier branded ROM for the code to register properly and unlock.
Hope this works for anyone else!

I'd try (re)flashing a radio or a different version.

It's not officially unlocked. Talk to an AT&T representative online & tell him that you're locked. He'll ask your IMEI & give you the unlock code. (for free). Then your set will be re unlocked again.

The phone will also prevent SIM unlocks after too many unsuccessful attempts. You may have went over your limit. Try getting a new code from AT&T. Maybe the code you have is a one-time use only code?

Same thing with my Razr D1 (XT918), I had bought unlocked from a big store here in Brazil. I performed a hard reset (factory reset), and after that, the sim slot 2 does not recognize any SIM card. I remade the reset procedure but it is the same message: "SIM locked ME. Slot SIM you are about to use is locked. Do you want to unlock? Enter (8-16 digits) to unlock."
Apparently, after the reset, the cellphone set a lock in the slot, which can be checked manually by the way:
Settings> Security> Set up SIM card lock
PS: The other slot (1) usually works with any SIM card.
If a had the slot unlock code, I think I could solve the problem, but in some brazilian foruns, I found that its a problem with these cellphone models (D1 and D3). After the factory reset the slot is locked. Motorola replied in costumer service that is working in a solution, but a need my second slot...
Somebody can help?
