Unlock HTC Desire from Orange

Hi,

Just brought a phone of Ebay. HTC Desire locked on the orange network. Contacted 5 companys, all saying that my IMEI is not on there database and so can't generate an unlock code.

So I bought one off the internet. Didn't work because the phone had a crappy Orange ROM on it so I had to root it and flash a custom ROM just so it would accept the unlock code. Bloody Orange.

Worked though.

Its all academic anyway with the unlock utility.
