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.

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.
