Hoping someone can help
I bought a Sensation XE supposedly not network locked, stupidly didnt check, did the necessary and flashed it with ARHD and set it up and then rushed sending it fro UK to singapore as a gift for my fiancee and her yet again failing junkberry.
The idea was i could set it up properly for email, skype etc etc to save us costs and avoid sms and make it a nice gift customised and with music, pics etc.
She has now tried to use it and discovered its simlocked, this is embarrasing and frustrating and expensive. I rushed getting it out and its the one thing i forgot to check :crying: Id love to stick a boot up the seller said it wasnt network locked.
I cant get it code unlocked because I cant get it back on whatever uk network.
Theres a snowballs chance in hell ill get her using revolutionary.
Theres a slim hope I could get an xtc clip and make and send a goldcard but im not sure how xtc clip works, do i need the phone present to make a goldcard?
Is there anyone here can recommend someone/somewhere reliable who can break/remove a simlock on a uk phone in singapore (presumeably at sim lim).
Please help folks, the only other option otherwise is do another phone and send it out or have the phone sent back, sort it out and resend.

The problem with this is that if method one fails, the user will need to be full s-off And on gingerbread firmware before it will work....
Op, does the phone request an unlock code while she is in singapore? If so you could try a online imei unlock. Buy=code and then get her to input it?

Not sure, just informs wrong network or words to that effect I think. I thought about getting the imei for an unlock but how would I get he phone to prompt for the code?

Not a chance Im afraid, this is someone who just knows how to call and text and occasionally take pics and is completely computer illiterate. Anything technical is not possible.
I guess the only way is to call the phone's company and ask for the unlock code...

Imn afraid I have no idea which company it was on, it was sold to me as unlocked/sim free.
Anyone else, someone must have some local info re singapore
Where did you buy the phone from? If from eBay or Amazon you should try to contact the seller. Or you can try to look up all the carriers that have the sensation in the UK.

Did the phone have any carrier apps/boot animations when you had it? Any sort of information at all?
If you bought an imei unlock online they should send you a code, and every time the phone is booted up with an incorrect sim it should request said code to unlock it.

Currently there is no know method of sim-unlocking the Sensation without an unlock code purchased from a site. Also, this thread should be in the General forum, not here. Please some mod move this

Where did you get the phone from?
You could always just call T-Mobile. They always give me the unlock codes. I ust tell them (ATT also) that I am using the phone overseas, and I need the unlock code to use an international SIM. ATT usually just gives me the code, and T-Mobile emails it within 24 hours. I have yet to be told no by either carrier.

Not that easy : in France, the Sensation is atm SFR exclusive (same as Vodafone)
And they don't have the codes handy for the time being even though they're forced by French laws to give it for free to those who bought the phone with a pre-paid offer !

Vodafone UK already unlocked
I assumed when I got my Sensation from Vodafone that it would need to be unlocked to accomodate my Orange SIM. So I was looking around for an unlocker and was just about to part with cash on one of the sites, when I thought I would pop the Orange SIM in the phone to see what the error message would be.
I was then greeted by the Orange carrier signal and all was working fine!! Glad I didn't pay my £15 I would have been well gutted.
So yeah, I can confirm that the Vodafone ones in the UK are already SIM unlocked. Nice!
Also - off topic - there is no branding on the phone other than a quick logo upon booting up the phone. So all in all a good deal.

Well, As far as I know the phones in Europe don't have simlocks, so I suggest you try it first when your phone arrives and than look if it has one. It could be it's simlockfree at the moment it arrives.

To my knowledge if you buy the phone outright, tmo will provide a code but their cx service is closed so im calling in the morn

Your understanding is incorrect.. ony in certain countries eg belgium the law mandates that the phones cannot be locked to a carrier else most of the countries eg france, put a simlock

Hi all,
Just picked up a sensation and its locked to 3 so need to unlock it to the o2 network. I have never had to use an online locking service before and I would just like some recommendations regarding good genuine services.
Thanks all

At the moment there are none. However if you wait not even a week someone will have figured out how to do it.
Hello there I was searching for the same. Finally decided to go for www.htcimeiunlock.com . It worked perfectly and the unlock code was mailed to me within 15 mind. I did cost me around 20 USD.
I tried all methods. S off, changing to unbranded Ruu, falshing radios. Super CID. Later to find out sim unlock has nothing to do with all of them.
Guess u can wait for Sumone to find out a solution ..it will be here but wait can be too long.
Hope this helped

If you already have an unlock code, what is the help you need? just put the T-Mobile sim card and boot the phone, when prompted to enter the code just do it. That's all.

I have a locked inspire. I would I waste money to buy a unlocked one. I want to unlock the one I currently own.
Hahahahaa..... this is my 999th post which I was saving - and the hell with my carpal tunnel, this is priceless!
Dude, you have a locked htc inspire.
Previous member suggested to buy an unlock CODE from ebay.
You can:
1- buy the code
2- use the hack kit (which I don't recommend since you misunderstood a one line sentence) - besides, it is not guaranteed it will unlock it for t-mobile.
3- get someone you know to help you.
4- get an at&t sim card.
You do know that using the inspire on t-mobile will only give you up to 2G speeds on their network, right?

Hey everyone,
A friend from canada just gave me his old p925g phone that is locked on rogers and I've been looking online but there doesn't seem to be a free way to sim unlock this phone. Many people seem to have had some success unlocking this phone through some websites by paying and I was wondering if you guys could share which website you used?
There are many websites just by googling this, but I've never used this kind of service and I'm quite sure many websites are scams so I was hoping someone here could confirm a successful unlock with the name of the service used.
Thanks!

There was a cheaper service but couldn't find.
@arsen4oo
Thanks for the link, cheaper then $1.99?? this price is already good for me!
Have you personally used this? How did it go? you bought this and then they sent you a letter to your home with the unlock code?
I'll look for the link and post it, I already tried a Site and it took no more than 5mins to receive the code via email.

I still have one more question, I saw this on the website: "You will also need a sim card from the network that are currently mobile phone is working. Sim card will be needed when you will entering unlock code to Your phone."
Did you use it to unlock? I'm in France and I don't have the sim card. My friend cancelled his plan at rogers and now lives in japan so there's no way to get the sim card.
Well what it means is that you need a sim that actually works when inserting the code. I used the sim that worked typed the code then my phone was ready to accept any sim card.

You don't need Rogers sim card to unlock Rogers phone when inserting the code. You're supposed to use non-Rogers sim to get that locked screen to insert the code. And I don't think you need a working sim to unlock, as long as not a Rogers sim. I used one my old overseas sim from asia trip to unlocked my rogers phone

On the old 1.44.0007 it was a simple process with Revolutionary, but I can't seem to find anything similar for the new hboot

I really thought you found a solution for me or a thread I over looked lol.
Those methods work for the old hboot 1.44.0007, not the new 13
Besides that, one of them relies on revolutionary which I can't do, and the other doesn't work period. The sensation guide I follow says strings not found. I got a replacement slide on the new hboot and I need to unlock to run on AT&T. I'm without a phone right now
You can always pay for a sim unlock code, or give to someone who has t mobile for a day, have them call and get a code for free, then give it back to you the next day. Once the code is in there it will be perminent

Paying is not an option, especially if it can be had for free.
Every time I've done this through a friend, the phone didn't have to be actively in use or associated with the account. I asked my friend who is on contract to request a code for me, and she tells me it's a $35 charge to unlock. WTF? Sim unlocks from carriers are always free as long as you have a contract or bought the phone from them directly.
Am I missing something here???
Everytime I've had to do this through tmo it has been free, but the sim had to be in the phone when I called. And I'm always on a no contract contract and have been for the better part of 13years (I don't like paying more to get a free phone)

I can see T-mobile charging for an unlock. A lot of times it depends on who you're dealing with at T-mobile. Some people are nice and will do what you ask, while others will just shut you down.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but I say have your friend try once more. And maybe do what someone else suggested and have the sim in the phone when she calls (so she'd take her sim from her T-mobile phone and put it in your phone), assuming your friend is willing to do that. Then again, whenever I swap my sims around I always put them in another phone on the same plan; maybe T-mobile wouldn't like it if the sim was in a phone not on the persons plan... not sure.
Good luck.
