is S-off/on important in this?

No, seeing as one person S-ON has done it

Good in that case, was getting curious to why it was doing this....



Great work mate

Thanks a lot... ur saving 35$ for each of in here in this thread

Can I just kiss whoever posted this? You're a star. I know nothing about phones other than how to use them but I followed the instructions and have successfully unlocked my phone.I was so scared I was going to kill it but it worked first time! The s thing was on if that helps but I'm so sorry I forgot to write the other things down. You've saved me 30 pounds which is what my local phone shop wanted to charge me and I'm so happy as I can now get rid of my horrid orange and use giffgaff instead.

Here are the phone settings

bravo pvt1 ship s-on
hboot-0.93.0001

John

Thank You very much! Work like a charm.

I am not sure if this is a daft question or not!
If i unlock my desire this way, does this give me the ability to install any ota updates without the use of a goldcard, rather than having to wait for my network provider to 'doctor' them before i am able to install?

No, this is for SIM unlock

Unlock allows you to use your sim card with another network provider...

in order to install other ROM's or get updates from HTC(which might never come) you need to ROOT and install a custom rom.

Hi.

Does the phone need to be rooted for this to work?

Thanks
