I unlocked my XDAIIs this morning via this service, it went as smoothly as a knife through butter.
Give it a go it's only £20, and will save you all the endless phonecalls with your provider.

Guys, I am trying this on an MDA3 form T-Mobile UK and can not even get into the serial boot screen :-(
Any tips what order to hold down the buttons?
Kev
Great news!
When will this tool be available to us (people who not a member PLUS of MODACO)? How is the guarantee?
Thank you anyway for a light at the end of tunel!
umm... isnt it ugly to charge for it?
the unlock for xda1/2 was for free, now your trying to make money off unlocking the phone - like the providers?

Trying what?
it works great
I unlocked my t-mobile mda compact T-mobile netherlands it costs you 44 pounds but its worth it
Great work imei-check.co.uk :lol:
to get in the boot screen press cam button + powerbutton then press the reset button with stylus
Wait a couple more days while imei-check finalise their website and they will officially have have it available for everyone! It will cost £20, £44 is a bit much for a couple of days!!
Send an e-mail
I sent an e-mail today to imei-check.co.uk, and hope to hear from them soon.
Unlocked
YES Finally my phone is unlocked!!!
Thanx to imei-check.co.uk
and Tom
Just unlocked mine, site is live now http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
£20 and now I don't have to carry that bloody brick in my pocket anymore!
Jamie
unlocking worked really fast (with credit card)
a little bit expensive but better than paying EUR 100.- to t-mobile austria
rsd
I Got It Unlocked ( At last!!)
Currently there is 2 services for unlocking of the XDA iis one is unlockthatmobile.com for£40 and the other is imei-check.co.uk for £20 so it is worth what you pay as it is done in 5 minutes.

Unlock
i don't understand the above post, are you saying there is a free unlock now for the MDA PRO?
There is NO free unlock, but there is an unlock if you pay.
If you can wait, the guys here will get something done at some point in the near future

So be sure, there will be a tool to unlock soon. 8)
waiting
Waiting is not a good thing for now, i sold my MDAIII already, so i am using a motorola V180 in the mean time, i really want my MDA PRO to work as soon as possible, so i think i will go the 15 pounds route and wait for tmobile UK, damn!!!
still waiting waiting waiting :roll:
Either you pay or you wait. I must wait, as in Austria it is not cheap to unlock (100 Euro! :shock: )
Pay up
I could not wait anylonger, so i paid T-mobile UK, it was to take 28 days but it took 3 days, unfortunately, my MDA PRO's screen broke, so i sent it back, the day i sent it back, the Unlock code arrived. RATS!!!!
You already paid for unlocking. So if they exchange your PDA they must either supply it unlocked or give you new code free.
Unlock
Yeah, they already sent in a request for another unlock code for the new one they are sending to me, for free.
MDA pro
Hi there,
Since you will be getting a code to UNLOCK your T-mobile MDA pro can you share it ...or advise how to unlock MDA PRO
Thanks
fatosb, the unlock code is device-dependant. One unlock code will work on 1 device only.
Also, have people not searched the forums?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40389&highlight=universal+unlocking+thread
since this is my first device (MDA) i need to know more on this and i was searching all the times through the forums but could not find anything on Unlocking .
So i think there is no help on this issue yet.
anyway thanks man. ( hoping for someone to find the way to unlock)

Use unlock code to unlock your T-mobile MDA pro. Get the code from the site Theunlockarena.com ,by providing country, network provider and IMEI number. Unlock it yourself using unlocking instructions.
hei friends i have for you the unlock code for the spv-m5000 that was bought from ebay or even not from ebay from anywhere you got it and you just wish to unlock it for SIM free worlwide
send me the IMEI and the serial number to private message ill check it and come back to you.
if i can do the job you will be asked to paypal me 40 gbp for the job.
your money will be fully refunded in case i cant get the code for some reson
and that a promise
in any case try me and see i am real.
*yawns* if you can't beat them....
Friends,
I too have an amazing remarkable and extraordinary unlocking tool/key/widget for your universal... ohhh yes I do!!
I found it in my dreams on ebay one night and now I'm hoping some poor un-knowing fool will stupidly part with their hard-earned readies, never to see them again!!
Such a dicksplat I am, that I never checked the ongoing thread about unlocking and the previous attempts from other dicksplashes to try this old chestnut on with the good folk of xda-dev... and truly wish to get my paypal account nice and fat with ill-gotten funds!
so come on... pm me see if im real... or I might just be full of bulls droppings... what do YOU reckon?!!
phil - lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or you could just paypal me £10, I won't send you a code but i'll buy nice things with it.

Not like those ejits at orange...
v. expensive
Orange charges around £20 i think to give u the unlock code... and you charge £40... wouldnt it be better to go through orange and do it legitamately.

HEY MATE IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMTHING THEN WHY DONT YOU GO AND BUY FROM EBAY AT 0.99 GBP THE SOFTWARE AND SEE YOU GET NOTHING .
FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND ALL WHO READ THIS XDA EXEC AND JASJAR COMES FULLY UNLOCKED FROM FACTORY IN ASIA.
THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE LOCKED ARE THE T-MOBILE THE ORANGE AND THE VODA .
NOW LETS SEE YOU MAN UNLOCK IT WITH THAT SOFTWARE AND BY THE WAY READIN IS ITEM DESCRPTION ON EBAY HE CAN ONLY UNLOCK THE SXA EXEC NOW READ THE FEEDBACK HERE AND TELL ME WHO IS RIPPING OFF ME OR YOU OR MAYBE HIM OR MAYBE YOU ARE HIM !!!
GD LUCK TO EVERYONE .
Yep he is right ... the O2 XDA is already unlocked so that ebay guy is ripping people off.. unless it works on the mda too. (which I doubt)
-jc
MOTIN, iYOUR 40£ IS DOUBLE THE PRICE OF WHAT ORANGE, O2 and TMOBILE CHARGE FOR GIVING THE UNLOCK CODE. THATS STILL A RIP OFF! I ADVISE PEOPLE TO RING ORANGE, UNLOCK IT THAT WAY, MUCH CHEAPER
1. ebay guy solotion does not work at all on any unit so be aware
2. orange t-mobile will do it maybe cheeper but only if you leave in uk and have an orange or t-mobile account.
gd luck
so you think 200% the original unlocking price is justified just because you can unlock phones that are not from uk?
if you can do it cheeper you are welcome to offer your service
but just talking and doing nothing is not a big deal
so go spend your weekend doing things for you or others
but not agianst others.

I think if people will pay it, and he offeres a money back guarantee, which he does, then its entirely down to the persons choice...
I tried all other avenues, orange refused to unlock my phone, saying I had to live in the UK, and the previous owner was under contract blah blah blah...
As I only paid £300 quid for a brand new boxed SPV M5000, yes I believe the cost was completely justified...
If you dont wanna pay it, stop *****ing, as there are people out here who are very grateful...
hello and sorry if i'm posting on the wrong place.
I have the opportunity to buy an locked MDA T-mobile compact V from a friend's friend ... but i dont have to much time because he has already another buyer.
can you guys help me?!
i would like to know at the current time:
it is possible to unlock the phone to use with any company?
it is possible to debrand it? or at least put it a lot like an original HTC?
what isn't possible to undo on this mda compact 5 (appart from the covers... theres no problem for me)
any help would be very apreciated.
Regards and thanks
help nobody?
thanks anyway
Check out the section on unlocking in the rom development section
Peace
yes there are MUCH unlocking possibilitys in the internet
just use google lol xD
MDA Compact 5 unlock
but theyre at 15-20€ about...
well but im rly suprised that your MDA compact 5 is locked
i got one too, buyed from t-mobile (with a contract ofc) it was unlocked since the beginning...
also i knw 4 friends of me- they all buyed a MDA 5 with a contract at t-mobile- ofc their device were also unlocked from the beginning...
so im just wonder ... but well- 15-20€ for unlocking a device shouldnt hurt that much
about the branding-Software:
of cause its possible to remove it- sure
and thats free ^^
debrand -> HSPL
unlock -> HSPL, SIM, Security unlock
all in the topaz rom upgrading section.
Just a question on topic.... Is it risky to buy a MDA V? I mean... That cell is not directly bought by the owner, it's just given from t-mobile within a telephone contract.
Can "owners" sell it? Is this legal? Do they have the property of the cell they are selling? Do they have the right to sell it? Can the MDA V be banned if it turns out that it has been sold?
sure owners can sell a MDA V
its just a phone
same as HTC TD2
just abit "modified" by t-mobile
ofc its legal to sell the phone - if u buyed it in a legal way
No it cant be banned , why should it?
if u buyed the MDA with a contract- and ur selling your MDA (and useing another phone with that contract instead of that MDA) -
T-Mobiles doesnt rly care about it, as long as u paying your contract-Bills ;P
but why should u sell your MDA? its best phone every anyways

That's the point... if you don't pay the bills then what? Should the buyer keep worrying?
There are plenty of MDA V sold on ebay...

may uve get my answer wrong; i mean:
If YOU make a Provider contract with a MDA device
and youre selling your MDA phone- then u still have to pay the contract (simCard useage) monthly to your provider (for example t-mobile)
and t-mobile doesnt care if ure selling your device- as long as the normal contract bills get paid.
u knw- contract bills- a contract in germany at t-mobile for example is a plan for about 24 Months.
a contract contains normally a discount of the MDA phone (for example ur paying only 50€ for the phone) but then youve got a mobilephone simcard with the usage of the providernetworkings- and paying monthly bills; depends on the kind of contract...
------------------
if you mean: Only to buy the phone from t-mobile without any contract (to buy it for the free normal price (atm 399€)) then ofc its another story- cause u only buy a free Phone- and dont make any contract... .
and in that case- of cause you dont have to pay any bills- and of cause t-mobile whouldnt care if ur selling the phone either.
cause its yours anyways... . (thats why you buyed it for 399€ lol)
----------
anyways-> in both cases, the person who buys the phone from YOU (for example on ebay or your friend) , doesnt have to worry anything.
its all okay for him... .
Nope, I meant... What does happen (to the buyer and pda) if the seller sell a MDA V, got with a contract with T-mobile, and after the sale he stops paying the bills before the exipiration of the contract?
I got my MDA V as an upgrade. There is nothing to stop me selling the phone on and continuing to use my old phone. The only thing T-Mobile do, should I stop paying the bill is stop the sim card, the phone will continue to work as they dont block them.
I have HSPL'd my MDA V and its currently running the TESS V2.F rom, but when I power on the phone I still get a T-Mobile startup screen before the TESS rom loads.
So you can HSPL the phone, flash a rom and sim unlock it, but from what I can work out you will still have a T-Mobile boot screen and obviously the T-Mobile branding on front of the phone.
o2 have supplied me the handset locked to the network even though I purchased it out of contract outright.
I know there is no hardspl out there yet but anyone unlocked their HD2 yet?
o2 need to fill out a form and send it to HTC which could take 28 days

yes yes anyone can google but half of these sites are dodgy. Why do you think I posted here.
i ordered an unlock code from the web said 5 to 30 mins, that was 5 hours ago !! im still waiting........ i will let you know if and when it comes through.
first handset i think o2 have locked.
is there no such thing as an imei unlock code generator ?? how do all these websites do it ??
if anyone can unlock my HD2 quicker i will pay for it !
Second in the google results is leo.unlock-now.com

Yes i did ask O2 for it they said it would be upto 28 days... and would cost me 15.00 pounds.
i paid 17.99 on MOBILEUNLOCKED.COM for a 5-30 mins service which i thought was worth the extra few pounds.
digging around a bit there are a few websites this guy runs (the contact info in it is the same) and the e-mails come from mobileunlocked.com
If they clearly sold you a phone without simlock, they must provide a device without simlock, it is as simple as that. If they are not willing to change it fast, I would give it back and get it somewhere else.
If they are customer friendly, they usually do have ways and solutions. A Samsung phone I had was unlocked in a service center within 10 minutes, my Xperia took the same way. I actually never "buy" phones through contractual down payments...
will let you guys know how I get on with leo.unlock-now.com

What get gets me is that people quote a few minutes to unlock but then they do not getting back to you.
If i had an e-mail saying sorry it will be 24 - 48 hours then, at least i would know. (sorry to moan !)
i've used leo.unlock-now.com as well, but put in the HD2 first rather than the HD2 T8585 (Which is the O2 one). Haven't heard back yet, but have sent an email to state what I did wrong. I'll let you know too!

Anyone heard from their respective websites yet? I really doubt that a website will be able to unlock it over the insternet in "a few hours" when a phone provider has to send the information off to htc to get it done.
I have had bad experiences in the past trying to unlock sonys and nokias (not mine) and wouldnt use one again. Im sure there are very reliable sites out there but the ones I used which I researched before using just took my money then kept it for 2 days before saying that my phone couldnt be unlocked.
