I was looking for one all over the web. Didn't find any. Dozens of unlock utility available for wizard, hermes, universal and many others but no herald. http://www.imei-check.co.uk/heraldunlock.php can do this, but it's not free, that really sucks

If you have a T-mobile wing, you can buy a unlock code for it on ebay ( cost 34$ ( 4$ cheaper from imei-check and without any knoleged , cable or download software at all )

but it only support T-mobile USA Wing ( HTC Herald speacial made for t-mobile )

After flashing a cooked rom - my herald is bricked. I get the "Vender-ID error" even after CID-unlock.

AHHHH.


SO imei.check - sucks

Hi guys!

1st Thank you very very much for the good work about our PDA.

I am new owner of a beautyfull Herald but it is network locked. I don't want to registare to imeicheck (for obvious reason) and I really hope that you will not forget to cook a special rom to SIM Unlock the Herald PDA.

I will stay tuned for happy news!!!

Unlocking works, it looks like they use the same unlocking code used on other htc device, just preformed from there servers. really efficient! It cost me $40 us dollars though. Am i hearing this doesnt Super CID the phone though.

I currently have an unlocked herald I use with t mobile. BUT .. I know for sure if you're a tmobile consistent customer for several months, you can request an unlock code and they will send it 2 you via email within 24 hours. I did that once, told them I was going over seas and plan to use a pre paid sim card. No questions asked, they sent me the code with instructions to unlock my phone. I believe you can also request an unlock with Cingular as well, but read somewhere they will try to give question you to death, but you'll get one. hope this helps.

I believe this is only for unlocking the SIM, but unlocking the CID is something very different!
