[Q] Unsimlock help please

Hey everyone, My Motorola DEFY has just broken (the charging connectors in the micro USB port have completely broken, so I have got an old HTC Sensation out.
I've done S-OFF, Root, and installed CM10.1 (The latest build).
The problem is, I can't get any Unsimlock method to work..
I can use my phone without the request for the pin popping up, but otherwise I have no signal or connection.
My network is Giffgaff (UK) which uses O2 signal.
I have no connection to the network at all (for example to send messages or initiate calls/receive calls), never mind data.
I've tried the following:
Method 1 (The date showed up, so I can't unsimlock this way)
Method 2 (This one didn't work because I have 1.27 Hboot)
This method (This sort of works, I can use my phone without having to enter the network unlock pin, but I have no connection to the network).
No network connection image. This is clean CM10.1 install. S58 data has successfully cleared, but my Giffgaff sim doesn't work
Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you.

You'll have to use method 2 BUT first downgrade your firmware to 1.17/18 and then flash the file. As soon as you've done that you just upgrade back to the latest firmware and voila, sim unlocked!

That's what I tried with the 'third' method on my OP.
Install Firmware 1.17 (Firmware 1.17 Universal)
Install nbh file (PG58DIAG.nbh from here)
Install Firmware 3.32 (Firmware 3.32 Universal (Non-TMOUS))
Also tried "Firmware 3.32 unlocked hboot http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mrynwif8cznhhvx"
I've checked the Giffgaff APN settings here and they are correct on my phone too.
Have I done anything wrong? or is there anything more I need to do?
Here's what my BL says at the moment (I've tried 3.33, didn't work :/ )

It may not be an un-sim-lock problem, but a radio problem perhaps?

No carrier registered, T-Mobile HTC Sensation (Rooted)

Just bought a used HTC Sensation, originally the carrier is T-Mobile, my carrier is Bell Mobility.
I put my sim card in, it pulls up that i have unread voicemails, and shows the service bar, however, only emergency calls are allowed.
When i try to dial a number it says "not registered on network". I've tried putting in a few different sim cards, there has been no prompt on entering an unlock code. I have tried factory reset, no luck either. How am I able to unlock the phone if no prompt shows up for code? Will i have to unroot the phone?

No cell service with any ROM after unlocking

Unlocked and S-OFF Verizon Incredible 4G LTE. I unlocked it with Rumrunner's tool, flashed TWRP (from their page), and flash CM10.2. No cell service. I tried a few things like reflashing/updating radios, etc no change. I tried a PacMan ROM. Same result. Tried a Viper ROM. Same result. Then I flash the stock rooted and deodexed ROM and I still have no service. Just sits in roaming.
Here's info from my Bootloader screen:
Currently show this on bootloader:

I don't care what ROM I use at this point. I'll even relock everything and put it back stock. Just want it to work. Help!
EDIT: EDIT: I have since relocked my phone and loaded up the stock RUU 2.17 Verizon ROM, per this walkthrough. Everything went smoothly. My bootloader now says "RELOCKED". Still no cell service. I tried dialing *228, but as soon as I hit call an alert pops up "A Verizon Wireless SIM card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities." Well, still no service.... Dialing *22899 does the same thing.
(ignore my sig)

No network service.

Hey Guys!
Yesterday I flashed the rom "Liberty S4 MAX".
Within the Aroma installation it has an option to flash radio (I believe v1.20) and I said yes as I thought it would work good with that rom.
After playing around a little I found that the rom didn't statisfy my needs and I flashed MagioROM.
MagioROM did statisfy my needs, BUT I noticed that my network wouldn't work when I booted up my phone.
The problem I have now:
Every time my phone boots up I can enter my PIN-Code and the phone will stay on "No Signal" (no network service).
I do have a Wi-Fi signal.
I can , however, get it to work: I open my phone and open the dialer. I type *#*#4636#*#* and it bring me to the "testing" configuration. I can click "Phone Information" and scroll down to the preferred network service. It says WCDMA Preferred which is good. I can click "Turn off radio" and than click on "Turn on radio" enter my PIN-Code again and BOOM! the network works.
The network is, however, not stable and sometimes I have to do this step again a few times while my phone is running.
How do I solve this problem?
I did try to flash a new radio. I flashed every radio in this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
I did try another rom (ViperOneS) but still the same problem.
My Phone:

Thanks in advance!

If you have S-OFF just flash another Radio from a .zip in CWM or TWRP

aint work with noew radio
i've clean up sim card and sim card plug space - for now it is ok
anyway - thanks for advice

Same problem.
I upgraded to hboot 2.16 (my radio was 1.20.50.05.16; I am S-off with a 11111111 CID) and can now no longer connect to my network.
When I did *#*#4636#*#*, I got WCDMA, which was wrong. But I've tried different versions of GSM (which is what I need), and none seem to work. Even on the phone info screen, it keeps saying 'GSM service: Emergency calls only'. Also after I do radio off/radio on, it asks me for my pincode, I enter that, it accepts it, but nothing changes.
I've also flashed another radio (1.35a.32.45.27), but I get the same problem (first it says WCDMA, but even when I change to GSM, it still doesn't work.)
I've ran various RUUs - none of them solve the problem.
And I have of course tried to remove and reinsert the sim-card - but nothing works.
Does anybody have any ideas about what might be wrong?

I'm still stuck with this problem. and would still be grateful for any ideas about what the problem might be and (especially) how to solve it. Oh and to add to the mystery: when I put in my daughter's sim-card, it DOES automatically register without any problems. And I have already tried deleting all APNs and re-enter one based on the instructions given on the website of my provider (KPN), but I still can't get it to work,. There must be some other bizarre thing here...

HTC Sensation 4G "No SIM card - No service"

Hey guys,
I recently flashed CM13 (cm-13.0-20161203 - ivanich) to my HTC Sensation 4G. After a few tweaks to get Opengapps working, the ROM has been running pretty well. However the SIM card isn't being recognized so the phone isn't getting any cell service. Everything is greyed out under the 'Mobile network settings' section and the 'preferred network type' says "Invalid Network Mode (-1). Ignore." This SIM card worked just fine before I flashed CM13; the phone was running the stock ICS version at the time.
The phone itself is a US T-Mobile version of the HTC Sensation 4G but has been unlocked to work currently in the UK (O2 network), I'm hoping this isn't part of the issue. I've had a search through these forums (and googled) but haven't been able to find any solutions. Relevant posts/comments are pretty sparse to begin with for this problem.
Anyone have any advice on how to get the SIM card, and subsequently the network service, working? I've tried reflashing the ROM a few times but to no effect. Stats are given below.
Cheers
