Do I need to buy one, or is there a good chance my local phone unlocking shop will have one of those?

Sorry, can you be clearer? My phone is SIM locked to UK T-Mobile.
ok have you got the nand security off your phone? when u turn your phone off and hold the volume down and power key it will take you to a bootloader saying s-on or s-off which one does it say?
i have revolutionary s-off and custom rooted rom, simlock is still there, how can i remove the simlock?

and also after the s-on part you saw did it say what hboot version it was using?
Again, thanks for the link, I'll have to have a look at it later.

You can't sim unlock the desire s via software. You must use XTC clip. You don't need to buy one, just find a local store with an XTC clip where they charge you a small fee for sim unlock.

Hello
I want sim unlock my sensation, but also want to be stock everything and not rooted. So here comes the question:
If I root my phone, and do the sim unlock. Can I run the RUU, and make my sensation S-ON and STILL keep the sim unlock ?
Thanks

Absolutely yes. Root your phone using Revolutionary, perform the Sim Unlock procedure then run the RUU. Once the RUU has successfully installed follow the Revolutionary instructions to S-On your Hboot.
Thank you, I am gonna do it soon

I've read through most of the forum, and I can't seem to find the answer to this question.
Does turning the ChaCha into S-Off mode make the phone unlocked? That is, able to be used by any carrier?
If not, how do I go about doing that?
After unlocking your phone using xtc-clip, your simlock should disappear and you could use sim cards of every operator... If you mean that?
I used the hboot tool from HTC to change it to S-Off.
I'm just unsure how that relates to the Phone being unlocked for any carrier.
The tool from htcdev doesn't turn it S-OFF unfortunately.
The phone it's still S-ON but the bootloader it's now unlocked and it allows us to flash custom roms.
So it doesn't have anything to do with the simlock
Well, then mine came S-Off, because I confirmed it by a restart holding down the vol down button.
S-Off means I have an all carrier phone, or is there some additional work to do?

The SuperCID (CID=111111) allows you to use any carrier SIM. The SuperCID is automatically set by the XTC clip when S-OFF is set.
Seeing as I don't have the XTC clip, how can I check to see if this is the case on my phone?
Is there a software fix to get the SuperCID if I do not have it?
I do not have the XTC clip, so anything pertaining to that doesn't help. Thanks in advance.
From market download CID Getter and check your CID. IIRC there are a few software hacks that sim unlocks your device (if that is the case).
i just notice that my phone is locked again after using ICS with 3.32 base sometime....
im changing of carrier and i would like to know what is the easiest way to RE-unlock my phone (when i bought it i Used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079) but now i just want to unlock my phone...
can someone help me please?
When you say 'Locked' do you mean in the HBOOT? That's because it over-writes the original HBOOT when the ICS update goes through
Are you still S-OFF? If so, you can still flash CWM/4EXT via HBOOT using a PG58IMG.zip file
With locked I mean I can use only one sim cardx before I could use any some card is want, my phone got sim locked after installing ics and id like to know how to get sim unlocked again, yeah I'm s-off and rooted using insert coin 5.1.6 right now

This is what that page says: it is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty.

So how do you know your phone is SIM locked ? Does it boot up and display a message? such as invalid SIM or anything like that ??
have you tried this method ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
I didnt know sensations came simlocked just thought they came full of bloatware and locked bootloaders lol
Ive been with vodafone for about 3 years now, they have never given me a simlocked phone.

i know, many broken links around here. ask trkaaa before trying the official unlocking from htc, http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ but since u s-off, rooted, super cid'ed, i see no harm there.

well i already try with htcdev.com and still the same :/
anyone has the PG58DIAG file that could share it to me??
i really need to be unlocked x_X
Call t mobile for the unlock code. Phone locked to carrier has nothing to do with H Boot, HTC unlock, s off, etc. If you never SIM unlocked it to begin with you were lucky it worked on other Networks. There's a thread in development section to SIM unlock your phone.

my phone was sim unlocked when i followed the tutorial, when i bought it it was locked to Tmobile, but after and used the tutorial i could use it with any simcard, i inserted a Telcel simcard, but after i upgrade to ICS the phone is locked again to Telcel, i cannot use any other simcard "just telcel ones" and i cannot call to Tmobile because im from mexico and i bought the phone from ebay
This might be a shot in the dark but have you tried flashing your backup before flashing ICS and tried another Network SIM and see if it works? Was the Telcel SIM in it when you flashed? My thinking is if you go back to GB see if the unlock works again and if it does then you should then try flashing back to ICS without a SIM card in it and see if it is then not locked to a Network. Maybe the flashing with SIM in it caused it. Maybe you could contact the dev who came up with the unlock method and ask him to look into ICS compatibility.
I remember a similar thing happening with a Captivate unlock code not working after flashing FROYO before it's official release.
I found this method and the file link is working. I am going to find my old at&t SIM and see if this works.

Hi
I have a Sensation with stock 1.27 hboot
My warranty is for more 1 year.
Not really sure about something:
On juopunutbear official website it says that devices that can go htcdev bootloader unlock (like mine) will not use this no unlocking method.
My question is, can I do this without unlocking my bootloder via htcdev?
Also, if lets say I want to ship my device for warranty repair, can I undo this process? (s-on)
Thanks in advance

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
Just to make sure, It says "If you are unable to get HTCDEV Unlock due to motherboard replacement please follow these instructions. These instructions are NOT for devices that are capable of achieving HTC Dev Unlock but you just don't want to."(from the official site).
I dont have motherboard replacment. Can I still do this method?

Follow all steps carefully.
Start with s off without HTC dev unlocked
If u feel wire trick is hard to do ,then unlock bootloader using HTC dev. . .. this may void your warranty..
It is easy to do wire trick after unlocked bootloader..

I don't recommend using HTCDev if you can get S-OFF. It forwards a unique device identifier so they can deny your warranty if you take it to HTC.

what he mean by clear S-58 data by selecting appropriate options.??
First of all, to use the second method, you need to be s-off to downgrade your firmware to 1.17. After that, you need to put the diag file on your SD card and clear s58 data.
