Default Simlock problems - i guess

Hello,

i use an htc hd2 with "HD2_NDT_MIUI_GINGER_2.3.7_DEVELOPMENT_V46.0_MAGLD R" and i love it, now i changed my contract Vodafone DE to Telekom DE ... my new contract dont work on the hd2, i gues there is an Simlock on the HD2 ?! Is it possible to get the card running ?

The Support means i need a Telekom Handy for it - but REALY !?

My Vodafone Card runs perfect -.-

I read in some other Threat that die Simlock get unlocked with changing to Android ... but not my !?

No kind of flashing will ever unlock the simlock.
Only two ways to unlock sim on hd2,, get a code from the original network operator, or buy a code online.
you must enter the code using winmo 6.5, otherwise the code wont work.

Okay, but is it sure that it is an Simlock ?
How can i test it ?
I read some other threats that i need to insert an other code after the PIN when its Simlocked ?!
I dont need to do this atm with the Vodafone D2 DE Card.
Or is my case the typical Simlock problem ?


okay, as much i read as much questions i got - CID-Lock >_<
Is it possible that it is CID-Locked ?

OMFG this get a long night -.-

simlock, Cid (carrier ID) lock, network lock,, allmost the same thing,,, if a phone is cid locked, it can only flash roms from that carrier (easily bypassed by hspl) but it also means its locked to that carriers network, (not bypassed by hspl)and only way to unlock that is get a code from the original carrier or buy a code.
Once it is unlocked, it will still (and always will) be Cid locked to voda roms.(again not a problem, since hspl bypasses it)
Assuming its from voda, you should ask them first,,, however if you no longer have a contract with them they probably will say no,, also they can take a while to give you the code. 28 days for many operators,,, took o2 UK six months to unlock mine in 2010!!

Save yourself.hours of fruitless searching and spend the 15€ and buy a code online. Lots of threads here about various sites selling codes.

That thread is about flashing a different phone, and I promise you there's no flashing that will unlock the hd2.
Just cos one phone can be unlocked by flashing means nothing. I once had a phone that was unlocked by putting the sim only half way in and typing a certain code,, doesn't work on any other phone.

To enter the code you must flash back to winmo, and when you boot with the sim in it will ask for the code.
