[Q] SIM Unlock HTC Desire S - HTC Desire S

Hi, so I bought an HTC Desire S and it's locked to Orange UK. I S-OFFed and tried sieempi's method but it's still network locked. Is there any generator or tweak like the HTC Desire/Sensation to get the code? It's urgent as this is my new personal smartphone.
Thanks in advance

Urgent? No it's not. On Christmas day nothing is really urgent.
You can either ask your current network provider for the unlock code (may have to pay them) or get hold of an XTC-Clip (Buy, rent, shop ...) and definitely have to pay.
There is no software method for network unlock on the Desire S.

There's a xtc-clip page on xda with members that have access to them
This Christmas I've decided to put a mistletoe in my back pocket....so all the people I dont like can kiss my ass.

But there must be a unlock code somewhere in those mmcblk blocks, like on the One S, Desire (bravo) and the Sensation, why wouldn't there by any on the Desire S? HTC must have hidden it somewhere... Any guess?

Here's a guess: this phone is out for almost a couple of years now, and if the way to unlock it was so simple that a noob could guess it - I guess it would have been unlockable by now.
You can, of course, read and learn how SIM unlock is done on the other "sister" phones (G2/DZ/DHD/MT4G), and what's preventing DS from having the same treatment, and what's needed to make it work. But something tells me that you won't do that.

As glhturbo had pointed out in another thread, cellunlock.net does it for $20/phone but with this code crackb50 you get 50% off. Worked great for my T-Mobile Sensation. Enjoy! =)
Get a friend who is a customer of the sensations native carrier to make a sim unlock request.

Unlock ChaCha

My ChaCha is AT&T career locked, how I can unlock that?
http://www.modaco.com/topic/343788-sim-unlock-htc-chacha/
Take a look here
I'm not thinking about paying someone to unlock that. I just found that the phone I'm using is not ChaCha, it's HTC - Status
It's the same phone.

HTC ChaCha on Three (UK), Are all roms S-ON??

Hello, I have a HTC ChaCha and was wondering that there are some people who have S-OFF or use an XTC-Clip to root their handsets.
But unfortunately I was unaware of this 'S-ON' and I purchased a phone on contract for 24 months and now when it's time for ROMS - I'm stuck.
So, my question is are all editions of the HTC ChaCha on Three UK 'S-ON' or is there a way that I can grab an 'S-OFF' by swapping my phone.

Most all phones that leave the HTC factory are S-ON. You would have to be extremely, extremely lucky to get an S-OFF handset off the production line, in fact it'd be damn near impossible.
You can't get S-OFF by flashing another ROM.
I'm not sure if the rEVOlutionary software tool supports the ChaCha, you may have to find yourself a Clip (or someone nearby who could loan it to you) to gain S-OFF.
Good luck!

How to unlock Desire S

Hi,how can I unlock my Desire S ..... I find lot of tutorials how to unlock Desire but nothing for desire S.....
??
Be more specific on the subject!
You want S-OFF, ROOT or UNLock bootloader?
Answer!
Official S-OFF is NOT possible EVER, I think!
Unofficial S-OFF is available... use 2nd pinned topic in this forum!
ROOT is possible after you S-OFF your phone and/or Unlock your bootloader officialy!
Unlock is comming officialy, DS is not on the list yet, but it will be eventually...
With official Unlock you get S-ON STILL but with bootloader unlocked which gives you right to root your phone!
So S-OFF and unlocked bootloader arent the same things? Then what is the relationship between them.
If by "unlock" you mean your phone is sim locked, then you going to have to use that same trick you used to obtain your phone, money.

Basically you need to pay the provider you obtained your phone from, to unlock your phone. It's NOT something you can do for free.
I just unlocked my desire s with a code from unlockfusion on eBay. I can recommend him if you're looking to buy a code.
The only way to SIM unlock Desire S is to pay...either for a code from various sites, to the operator or through XTC clip. Pick the one that suits you most. But note that if you unlock it via third party (site or XTC clip) your warranty is void
I try to bay code from 3 or 4 sites... and they send me same code, but when i type code its say wrong code,and phone is still locked...
sorry on bad english ...
Are you, by some chance, on Telenor Serbia? If yes, you can not unlock your phone via any unlock code bought online, because Telenor locks its phones on its own - not via HTC like most of provider.
Only way to unlock phone is to wait until the contract ends and then get code from Telenor for free or find service with XTC clip (but beware, this voids your warranty).
I used Revolutionary to S-Off. I allowed Revolutionary to install Clockwordmod as recovery. I then used One Click to root. Finally I flashed Virtuous ROM Affinity and it works very well. Just wished I had done it earlier. The ROM has Sense 3.5 and it very smooth.

This has nothing to do with the topic in this thread. Here it is discussed about SIM unloking, that is using the phone with a SIM from another carrier

[Q] HTC One SV SIMLOCK status

Hi guys,
My dad just bought a HTC One SV phone from Vodafone Spain and he's planning to go back home with it, but he's (me as well) uncertain whether the phone is sim locked or not.
Is there any code that will say whether the phone is locked or not? For instance, I have Sony Xperia S and when I dial *#*#7378423#*#* and it tells me if the phone's locked.
Is there something similar for HTC? Putting a different SIM card in the phone is out of the question. I'm just interested in the code that might give him the information.
Thank you in advance!
Hi.
Since the SV can now be S-OFF, I guess it could be done... Maybe have a look at the One S forums to find a similar method. It worked the same way for all the "One something" phones to change the CID, for example.
