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.

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

and when i turn it to automatic select network it says

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

Unlocked bootloader but now I can't unlock SIM?

So I used to DesignGears method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 to successfully unlock my bootloader so I could install a custom ROM (CleanROM). Now I'm trying to unlock my SIM but after putting in my IMEI into CellUnlocker.net I got an e-mail saying that the first database returned a negative for my IMEI. Did unlocking the bootloader change my IMEI to something that would prevent me from unlocking my SIM and not change it back? Did I need to do them in a different order? Just concerned because I'm traveling out of the country tomorrow and need to get my SIM unlocked prior to leaving.

1. *#06# check your imei match your box
2. use the imei on your box to check on with cellunlocker.net
if those two doesn't match then...it changed your imei...else
if you can't get a unlock code with the imei on your box...it's some other issue lol...two people in general section had the same problem..

So don't have the box with me (it's at home) and I've removed the sticker so I'll have to check later. Do you know if the IMEI is changed during the bootloader unlocking process? If it did, can I use the IMEI on the box for cellunlocker.net even if that doesn't match one in my phone? I'm guessing the unlock code was hard coded to the original IMEI so even if my IMEI has changed, the unlock code that cellunlocker.net would provide should still work?

The unlock process doesn't change IMEI.

The process of supercid may tho

It hasn't so far. Well the unlock without htc dev method does but you're supposed to change it back after.

Well I used the process that included HTC Dev. I first used Spoof-CID.bat to get the token that I then input on the HTC Dev site. They sent me my unlock_code.bin. If this doesn't change my IMEI, then why wouldn't it be working through cellunlocker? I really need this unlocked before tomorrow morning.

Until you match the IMEI reported by the phone with what's on the Box, we can't know how to assist you.

It would make sense for that partition to contain your imei as well.
You're going to have to find a method to write back the backup on your sd card
The method you used made a backup of the partition before it changed it

Another user posted on here that he tried unlocking the SIM through several different online services. They all reported that the IMEI was too new, and he would need to wait until the IMEI database was updated. Might be your issue as well.
I agree you need to just check your IMEI with what is on the box. The numbers and bar codes on the sticker are also on the hBoot screen, so you can check that also. Don't think that will change if you screw with the IMEI.

Nevermind

I believe everything was wiped from my SD Card when I formatted everything prior to installing CleanROM. Now I'm really worried that this is a big issue, but as gunnyman said, I guess I need to just wait and see what my box says my IMEI is.
What I don't understand is even if my IMEI changed, wouldn't my unlock code already have been hard coded based upon my original IMEI, so if I used that (assuming it's different) in cellunlocker, I would think my phone would accept the unlock code? Does changing the IMEI in the phone change the unlock code as well?

Depends if your imei is also hard coded elsewhere

Well if it helps at all, the IMEI shown in HBOOT with the barcodes matches the *#06# number. Don't know if that's recoded. Guess I sit nervously until I get home to see if it matches that box. Not sure whether I hope it's the same or different, because if it's the same there is no explanation for why I can't get my unlock code!
Appreciate all the help and I'll chime back in once I check it with the box.

True. I guess what I meant to say is there is no fix for me by tomorrow if that's the case.

I am having an similar issue with my One X. I probably should have tried to sim unlock it before messing with the phone but its too late now.
What I mean by messing with: Unlocked bootloader, flashed kernel and installed new rom. After doing that I went to cellularunlocker.net for a code. They gave me a code with didn't work (ultimately got a refund). The very next day I got a friend who has AT&T to get the code. Turns out its the SAME UNLOCK CODE that the website gave me. Now I'm at my wits end.
Can someone please help me. I need this working before I go on vacation in a few days...

I have tried the sim unlock tried thread and also ordered unlock online and gotten the same code... Everytime I enter the code i get "incorrect password" ...
I am going spare because this is a gift and I cannot seem to unlock at all... any way to unlock this phone? whats causing this to happen
I read that others have this problem too...

Need to be on stock Rom I think

i unlocked mine when i was on the 3uk rom but r u putting in another sim card first so then it asks you to input the unlock code?

hey,
what is it good for?

I had this problem and solved it. I discovered that the only way you can unlock your phone is that you must be on stock rom, otherwise it will not work. Get the RUU for Bell Mobility, unlock your phone, then you can put back on LeeDroid. I made a thread about this a few months ago and it has helped other people.

so i finally put the phone ack to the bell stock ruu..... but as before no luck :S... the password just keeps saying incorrect

No the phone is unrooted and running isc 4.0.3 but the question is how to enter the unlock code without the phone asking

How many different carrier sims have you tried? Some carriers use the same carrier code and as such there sim will not prompt you for the code. Like in the UK giffgaff and tesco mobile run on the o2 network. And as such do not require the sim unlock to run on an o2 locked phone. Try as many as you can find from different carriers. And if that fails, and it still doesn't give you the prompt, you can s-off the device, and then follow the sim unlock guide by viper (I believe) and do it for free
