Have you inserted a a different sim card other than the tmobile sim card. Try inserting a sim card from AT&T from one of your friends that will make the phone not recognized the sim and ask you for the unlock code. Good Luck.

Either that or use the File Explorer on your phone to navigate to the \Windows folder, then once there, scroll down and run the program called "simlock.exe" and input the code to unlock your phone.

Tried the sim unlock. It took the code not sure if its unlocked or not. I ran down to wal mart and picked up a tracfone but that sim will not register. I guess I wasted 10 bucks.

you have to put in a sim card from another carrier, if the phone is locked, you will get the sim lock screen where you can input the code, if it is unlocked then you won't even see the sim lock screen.

It probably didn't register the tracfone sim because it isn't activated

It's the current thought that the HD2 doesn't support pre-paid SIMs from any carrier other than T-Mobile for whatever reason...SIM unlocked or not. Try an ATT SIM if you can and see what it does. If the SIMlock.exe program took the unlock code and didn't throw an error, then you are more than likely SIM unlocked.

Yes it did do that. A message box came up that it took the unlock code so I guess its OK.

Thanks,

BTW I tried to run the sim unlock program again and it would not run so I guess thats a good sign. What do you think?

Correct, if your device is succesfully unlocked, the simlock.exe program will cease to run.
