I cannot believe after all this time there is no code generator where you input your IMEI number to get an unlock code for free on the Hero after all this time.
I have a custom rom and need to unlock my phone so I can use it on the "3 Network" but I cannot find any instructions for sim unlocking on a custom rom for T-Mobile. All the guides seem to be Orange related or are quite confusing with counter instructions throughout their respective threads.
Anyone know of a code generator (the sites that sell the codes must be using generators) or know of a reputable place to get the code to work through a custom rom?
I don't want to get a code and then discover that the code won't work on a custom rom on T-Mobile.
Thanks.
T-Mobile G2 Cronos Froyo 1.7.3
You can call your operatior and ask them for the code. Most of the time they will give you one.
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately, they said that they will charge me £15 for a phone which I now have bought off of them because I am at the end of my contract. The gits.
Are there no free code generators?
Have you ever tried Codes to unlock your mobile. Do you know how perfectly codes unlock your mobile. You need to see the comments of many sites which provide free codes. All are negative comments telling the codes generated were wrong and their attempts were over trying them over and over again. So I advice you not to go for any sort of code generators. Majority of Unlock codes(except free codes) got from network providers or other third parties works like Gem. You wont believe i have been unlocking my mobile using codes successfully with this guy WickedUnlock for many years.

Hi people, Ive searched on this but can only find people talking about unlock codes and wondered if it was possible yet to unlock HD2 for free like you can on the HD1?
Ive just purchased a T-Mobile HD2 on ebay that is 2 months old and was wondering if we cant unlcok via free method is it possible to unlock my phone via code as ive noticed various people having problem with T-Mobile 2010 models.
Thnx in advance.
Free sim unlock is not available on HD2 yet.
Free unlock is normally only possible on old or obsolete phones.
For now, your best bet is take your phone to a shop that does unlocking.
I would not trust most online unlock firms for newish model of phone.

Unlock threads talking about codes, are mostly to change from manufacturers ROM.
Thnx for reply but think I will be trying with a company on ebay who do unlocking I explained it was only 2 months old and they said it wont be a problem.
If it is I will try the "Rebel" Sim card which supposedly unlocks ALL htc devices without codes etc. You simply slot it in underneath your sim and it allows you to use it.

just wondering if you tried this and if so, what was the result?
I understand there are two ways to unlock your HTC aria.
One is to buy the unlock codes on some website.
The second, free way is to call AT&T after three months and they will unlock it for free.
However, I have called AT&T twice and they don't have the unlock code available even after giving them my IMEI number. I'm puzzled by this. Is anyone else having the same problem? They said the computer or database don't have the Aria unlock code in the system. What's going on here?
Big brother just tricked you. They are tracking you now. Throw the phone away. Use cash only. Don't use your real name.

AT&T doesn't have to give you the unlock code for the Aria until the exclusivity for that device has expired. Your only choice for now is to unlock it using a third party website.
Get the unlock code through a website like the most of us did, its just $15 or $20 bucks and they send you an email with the code almost instantly..

be sure to search ebay first. i found an unlock code for my backflip for only 2 dollars, the same for a few other phones I've had!
!
You know...I'd be interested to find out how these unlock codes are generated...seems like people are robbing people of their money when they are selling these things...it probably isn't the easiest thing in the world to figure the algorithm out (if that's how they do it) but i can only imagine that once you do figure it out, it's a short process thereafter to generate unlock codes for people based on whatever information they need...

there is software that does this. unfortunately i think they require a USB Dongle to run the s/w and it is expensive.... until the Russians crack it anyway. LOL
anyone suggest a reliable unlocking site?? there are so many scams out there taking money and not producing a usable code.
Most of the unlock website I found are reliable as far as give me money back when they can't get it. ATT and quite a few inexpensive website can't unlock my Aria. Some on top of refund, give me free unlock code for future. I end up found someone said "doing it manually". Took him 3 day and $25 later, he gave me the code.

rooting just gives you the "ultimate-true-genuine" etc rights to modify the phone the way you want it
to unlock the phone it's a different story. You will only need to unlock it if you're traveling outside the US
Or to switch to T-mobile.

Last sentence not quite correct; a clarification. You don't need to unlock if you travel outside the US. The Aria works just fine in other countries; you will incur additional costs as a result because you are roaming on foreign networks but AT&T has plans you can buy ahead of time and terminate when you get back home. Now the clarification part: if you do have an unlocked phone you can use a SIM card from other providers in other countries (which you will have to purchase or borrow from someone that lives there). Unlocking simply allows you to use another SIM cards, fore example, like Tmobile (a GSM network) in the US. If you don't unlock, your are limited to AT&T SIM cards. Unlocking is really not necessary unless you want to run on different networks in the US and outside the US.
Don't worry i will help you...You can get the Unlock code better from Online site,Basically network provider ask you to wait to get the code from them,they will give the code,it's available in Data base,So if you need Code immediately means you can get the unlock code from here www.Superunlockcodes.com and get the free unlocking instructions from here Mobileunlockguide.com and unlock it step by step.

I travel quite a lot through Europe and since AT&T's roaming charges are quite high, I had to unlock my Aria so that I can use local GSM carriers over there. I used www.cellunlocker.net last year. Their "regular" service for $4.99 was not able to produce the code for my Aria and they gave me a refund. I then purchased their "advanced" service for $19.99 and had the unlock code in 3 hours.
One more note about the benefit of unlocking: Once your phone is unlocked, it stays unlocked. So you need to purchase and use the unlock code only once.
it's a maybe
i think you gain s-off you can unlock it ..

I've been searching and seen that AT&T didn't provide unlock codes for new phones, but must give them after 10 month from launch. Since it's about the time frame for the Aria, I was wondering if anyone tried to get the code from AT&T.
Do you have to be an AT&T customer? if I'm buying a used phone can I ask for the code also?
thx
Here are the official "rules" for unlock codes: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=55002&cv=820#fbid=0yQi8JC0xlj
Even if they won't give you the unlock code, you can get them relatively cheaply online so you've always got options.
thanks that I was looking for.
Still don't get from this if they will give the code to a non-customer, but I guess I'll just to call and ask them.
I've been google around for sake of knowledge and benefit, how does these unlocking sites provides unlock codes based on IMEI of devices?
most importantly do they have an inside man or there is actually a way to calculate things based on the carrier and IMEI provider which gets this number?
Thanks
i already unlocked my jetstream using one of these sites and paid them, my question was just how they make it, buying them from network provider seems fishy, i think they have other ways of generating them because they ask first if doable or not like they are testing something on the IMEI #
My guess would be that they pay the same type of people who crack software and create software keygens. The difference being they probably need to brick a few phones in the process.
Hi, I've been researching and I found out that apparently you cannot sim unlock a desire 310 by installing a different rom.
People recommended using a sim unlock service (like you pay for a code to unlock it), and they said that some of these services are sketchy/dodgy..
Can anyone personally recommend a good website to get a code from?
Or even a better way to do this?
(It's locked to Vodafone if that makes a difference)
Thanks
You could try sim-unlock.net , i tried to get an unlock code for the same device but unfortunately they coulnd't find one as my phone hasn't been locked by htc but by orange romania. I got refunded though so i'd say it's pretty much a safe website. Give it a try, the price isn't high either!

hi there, I also have a vodafone locked 310 here and need to unlock it... did you ever sort yours? Also have you come across any good resources for custom roms/root/modding etc ? thanks :angel:
You have to know if the vodafone carrier of the country you bought your phone from locks the device with a different lock code other than the one provided by htc. For example i bought the desire 310 from Orange Romania, and only after i bought it i found out that both orange and vodafone romania change the factory lock code with a code of their own. In this particular case, i haven't had any luck unlocking the phone with any site that provides codes for a small fee. I also contacted htc and they said my device (according to the imei) does not appear to be branded nor locked by any carrier. I had to send the phone back to romania and have it serviced with special tools and apps to get it lock-free. You could still try some online service. If it's a pro website, they will refund your money if no code is found or the code they provide doesn't work. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to unlock it in a service center.
