If you do that, i would check if the radio-version matches, else you could have problems with wifi oder gsm

At the moment I have:
Android 2.3.3 on O2
Software Number: 1.19.206.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-g8db500e
Baseband Version: 47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17
got a stock rom which is:
Software Number: 1.13.401.1
Baseband Version: 47.14.35.3030_7.47.35.17
So radio does seem to be the same.. I am using the downgrade method..
when I boot with volume down and power button, it loads the PH60IMG.zip (blue bar) and then goes to the checks PH60IMG.zip (golden bar) and then it turns back to the bootloader start screen and nothing happens..
please share you experiences, Im sure Im going somewhere wrong..
please advise guys..

Unlocking is possible by using an unlock code. I purchased the code, and now use a t-mobile sim.

Chacha unlock by code
You Can Purchase The Code Here Now: CHACHA UNLOCK SITE

That is the site I used. I had my code in 10 minutes.

Is SIM lock = S-ON?
I think they are two separate locks.
SIM lock for not use another Network, and S-ON is not change Android software, Am I right?
@rangercaptain
Is your mobile originally S-ON or S-OFF?

SIM lock != S-ON (not equals)
And yes, those are two different locks. It does not matter if you have a S-ON/S-OFF phone, you can still unlock it via special network codes that cost money which do not require a S-OFF phone.
If you don't want to pay, you must S-OFF your phone and perform some hacks to unlock SIM.

How can i do some hacks? Can you explain me more please?
Thanks.

Hello,
I may be wrong, but since the ChaCha has no eMMC chip, the only remaining protection is left in HTC's kernel. So with temproot one could load a kernel driver to disable this protection, and then proceed to reflash the recovery.

Hi Alex,
Would it be possible to post where there are instructions to perform these hacks to SIM unlock the device?
Thankfully HTCDev have released the Unlock for S-Off.
Kind regards,

Since when? HTCDev released the unlocking bootloader patch and not the S-OFF. Normally S-OFF will set your CID to SuperCID, which is 111111; this means that your device is worldwide and restrictions are lifted.

Ahh man, I understood the unlocked bootloader was to S-OFF the device.
My appologies.

Look i found web site with free sim unlock key generator for mostly all HTC devices http://simlockcalculators.com/htc-free-unlock-codes-calculator/
Its looks like its really working and its tottaly free by looking comments but i never tested it myself because i got sensation already sim lock free but im about to buy a ChaCha with provider lock, só as its tottaly free,i undestand you need to complete a survey to get the program, if sdome 1 get dnload link of his app please share, would be great, or reshare gate on some g s, as im using ne right now, cant do a survey.
Cheers

[Q] How can i get unlock network code?

Hi!
I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace and following a little tutorial in youtube i get the unlock code for network...
Here i leave the link to the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLANiBftec
This tutorial it's no mine.
Now, i bought an Xperia Miro (Mesona) and i need to unlock the network too.
Somebody know how can i get this code from this device with ADB or something like that?
Sorry for the video language, im from mexico and i speak spanish.

You cant unlock Xperias for free as the sim lock certificate is locked away in the bootloader. You can pay for an unlock code fron many websites

I don't understand, there are some ROMs which have Unlocked Bootloader... So, why is this not possible ?

The problem is that my cellphone have the bootloader locked, in the service menu says: "Bootloader Unlock: NO" and i read about it, but "ST23a" doesn't have any way to unlock bootloader.
If I insert a different SIM, phone requests a network unlock code. I found a program to calculate the code but unfortunately is in a host where you have to fill a survey to download the file.
I don't know if that program works but it's impossible download it without register your cellphone number in a "phone club".
I know that there are some pages where i can pay to unlock my phone, but all are so expensive.
If you know a page where i can get the code without pay more than 30 euros, please let me know.

[Q] T-Mobile's Z3 debranding for sim unlock.

Hi everyone. I bought a T-Mobile's Z3 used by another guy. He shipped it from the U.S but i'm not there. The thing is: He bought a SIM unlock code but T-Mobile won't let me introduce it because they only let you unlock the phone through their app. The question: If I debrand the phone by flashing the global/international firmware would it let me introduce the code? . I hope you can help me.

I don't think you can just cross flash, at least that is my experience with other devices as well. Also no way to bypass the SIM lock as there is no boot-loader unlock or r oot for the TMO Z3.
As far as I know its an over the air unlock and there is no option to even enter a code... when the app did not work for me I called TMO and they unlocked it within an hour, as I am a current customer.

Oh well!. So the only hope is to wait for some root method. Thanks for your answer :good:

Root and bootloader unlock have no effect on sim unlock. They are completely different things

It depends by phone/carrier implementation I guess, for my Sprint LG G2 you could bypass the simblock using a method that requires root. In the HTC M8, boot loader unlock with Super CID could achieve SIM unlock as well.
You probably are correct with Z3 though.

Im in the same boat, bought a used z3 and tried to unlock using device unlock app on phone, Failed. I bought an unlock code but there is no menu to input unlock code. If we flash global generic firmware, will unlock code pop up?

Has anyone tried this and been successful? I attempted it this morning but got errors and flash aborted.
Edit
Guys keep trying the unlock app. I almost gave up and tried it one more time after a factory reset. Went through the setup menus. No Sim card, WiFi through my old Xperia z, turned on my location. Opened the unlock app and applied for permanent unlock and BOOM.... Unlocked.
Don't know if any of what I did made a difference but try it if you want.
Best of luck to you all.

Unlock on tmobile?

Can someone explain whether process I go through on tmobile to unlock the bootloader? With the oneplus 8, I had to have 3 months paid off first and from there I could get the unlock code. Is it the same with note?
Thanks

I would also like to know that.
Hopefully someone can enlighten us on that

That was years ago particular with one plus, they don't have a say anymore with these phones.
You have to pay to get it unofficially unlocked.
Search the forums, I don't know if we're allowed to post pay for unlock link even if theyre on xda.
Also, if your phone is still sim locked and you unlock the bootloader, it will remain sim locked. Only T-Mobile can sim unlock it and if you do sim unlock after you unlock your bootloader, it will relock your bootloader and it's stuck as locked forever.
So I'd sim unlock your phone before paying to bootloader unlocking it.

Thanks coilbio,
That was helpful and appreciated.!

can you please clarify what do u mean by unlock?
If you need to unlock ur phone(network unlock) so that it can be used on any network then u can contact Tmobile to unlock your phone. You can contact Tforce on twitter to get ur phone unlocked. I was able to do that thro them.

Hi mindseye0803,
By unlock, I meant bootloader unlock,. My bad for not being specific on that.
Thanks for asking and hopefully, for help

Hi, yes unlock but unlock the bootloader. How can I unlock the sim ?
because even though i changed and i read that changing to a global version was not going to unlock the sim.
in the same way now my oneplus 9 tmobile. It is in global version but with the network locked problem.

Specifically:
Unlock your SIM. Some options here
Finding a sympathetic rep to unlock your device. I used the I'm a developer and need the device unlocked for work purposes and took 2 agents before I got mine unlocked.
Finding an awesome XDAer who has the capability to do it, such as https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ng-service-oneplus-samsung-google-lg.4231597/ (never used this service, just an example but he seems active and still unlocking)
Paying a (trusted) 3rd party service. I never used them, YMMV
