I am very impressed with what you guys are doing...a real credit to the world of pda's. I am pleased to say that i have manged to unlock my xda lls, but i have just got a xda exec, and was wondering is there any way to unlock it rather than having to ring o2 to do it???
What makes you think it's locked?
If you read these forums you'll find that all O2 Execs sold so far don't have a SIM lock. Have you tried another SIM in your phone? It should work.
@Rolexx,
welcome. Are you sure your Exec is locked? Which network are you trying to use in which country? My Exec, purchased two weeks ago, is not locked.
Sorry to ask such basic questions
Right about now i feel like the blond that rang up pc support to complain about her computer not working and the first question they asked her was, is it plugged in??? To which she replied "ooops".
I just checked#, and it works. I think it was cos i automatically assumed it didnt. Sorry guys/girls....
lmao
hahaah coool..
strange you ask it without testing though ... i myself would always check first haha
this one was one of the best around here !
thanks for it

Any news yet about locking XDA 11? Many thanks
Please, xda-developers, can you do on it the same as for the xda 1 ????
When my XDA II was bought in London, I was told by O2 , that I'll get my unlock code for 15 £ , and now , they said no !!!!! :twisted: Crazy ... :roll:
If I can't get this code, I'll have to BUY a phone ...
So, HELP ? please ....S.O.S...
I contacted Dixons at Heathrow, where I bought mine and they gave me the number! This was done yesterday! You could try calling there. Obviously they have dealt with this situation a number of times... O2 are a bunch of idiots. I called them at least 5 times only to get a negative answer and without any advice...
Good Luck!
XDA2 Unlocking
Thanks for this!. I also have tried 02 several times but have not been as lucky as others on the Forum - yes, they really are a confused bunch. As I am moving to Spain next week I need to unlock soon to hook up to Vodafone in Spain. WIll try Dixons - fingers crossed...!
Sadly Dixons won't play ball and neither will o2! :-(
Hi all
New to the forum, i dont actually have my SPV yet will be getting it probably next week, just want to find out all i can, but initially i`d like to know how to unlock it.
I will be using my t-mobile PAYG sim after it`s unlocked, also is it worth getting any UL software from eBay? I feel the answer is probably no!
I couldnt find anything specific to the unlocking of the SPV M600, hence the post..
Hope you can help, great forum also!

I took the easy, although not free route of using http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
Cost £20 but did the job perfectly without having to mess around flashing other ROM's onto the device.
Great thanks ...
ill 2nd that option
i tried various routes.. lots of hassles.. eventually gave up and use this method. it was instant. literally 5 minutes was all it took
I have been reading the forum for the last few days in search of a method of unlocking the Artemis (O2 Orbit) so that any network sim card can be used in the phone.
I have seem lots of technical stuff but for a noob like me can everyone get back to basics and post a program to unlock the phone to use any network sim cards!
Please no technical stuff just a sweet little program that I can run that will get the job done
"PIP PIP hurrah, it's christmas time"
There is no program able to do that, yet. The Technical stuff here is all because some smart people are working on it The only funtioning method so far is paying imei-check 20 pound or so, for doing the job. Works fine!

Have a merry christmas!
Cheer but....
What is the point in paying £20 when there technical people will design one for a donation?

Are you kidding here ?
I need the gadget with normal WWE ROM (not with the French one what was originally installed), and I need it working with MY SIMcard today and not tommorow or in one month, or....
This is the point.
Haha, exactly... i buyed the Device T-Mobile locked, so waiting for a few weeks or even months was not an option!!i gladly paid the 20 Pounds, but hopefully for all those who can wait for an unlock solution because they "only" need superCID, the people working on that matter will have a breakthrough soon

AFAIK O2 do not Network lock phones. I've just put my wife's Orange PAYG SIM into my O2 Orbit and it connected quite happily to the Orange network.
Anyone got this with instructions since many websites are selling it!
Can you help me unlock (CID and SIM) my Touch HD?
Thank you for you advice in advance.
unfortunately not yet free,you are going to have to dish out some dosh to line XDA's wallet
I recently bought an Orange Touch HD and am on O2.
Someone is selling unlock codes on eBay for £16 or best offer. I offered £12 and got a counter offer of £14 which I accepted.
All you do is insert a SIM for a network which is locked, and the HD will ask you for an unlock code.
Pop in your 8 digit code (I had to type it in twice) and the device is unlocked. SIMPLE!
I ended up using HTCCODE ,recommended by an xda senior member ,it was a great service and I got the code in less 5mins.I think I paid 16 pounds.
i UNLOCKED MY ORANGE htc touch hd , the day I got the phone last week! got the code from htccodes , paid 18euros which is nearly £18! the pound has really got weak .
put a old contract t-mobile sim in the phones entered the unlock code , twice , you shouldn't enter it more than twice as it could mess up! was unloced quickly and easily .
Now I have installed software on it , al i need is sat nav prog , any1 know which is the best , and works well with the touch hd.

this isn't the iphone you know, it doesn't need unlocking before you can install programs on it
i also used htc codes. excellent service via msn, answered me at 730 in the morning and had my phone unlocked within ten minutes!
I used http://www.unlock-now.com/, as I did before with my Elf, and have always had exceptional service. Entirely recommended.

IMEI number problem...
Hi, sorry to reopen an old thread but i didn't think adding yet another unlock thread would be any better!
I'm just out of contract with Orange UK and will be moving to O2, well actually GiffGaff now since i've just discovered it but that's beside the point!
Anyway, obviously i need to unlock my phone first, however, i see this is done by using your IMEI and buying a code but I'm not sure which IMEI is the right one.
I've had the phone repaired 2/3 times and each time i've had a letter saying the IMEI has changed but when i dial *#06# i get one number, but the most recent number listed after it's repair doesn't match, neither do any of the old ones including the one behind the battery and on my original box.
I don't want to brick the phone by using the wrong one!
I even had trouble when i phoned HTC ages ago for one of the repairs, none of the IMEIs were recognised or something.
Any advice?
Hi, so i eventually noticed i was being a bit stupid and my IMEI after *#06# IS the same as the one behind the battery, but with 01 added at the end!
So i ordered an unlock code from an ebay seller and was told;
"Unfortunately we have not been able to calculate the code for your imei as your phone has the latest security and can not be unlocked using this service. we have sent you a mutual agreement not to carry out transaction. Please agree to it and we will issue full refund. If you still wish to Unlock your phone please have a look at this Item number: 110559753460"
The other item is just a more expensive unlock for newer devices i think, no response yet on whether they can get me a code at all if i were to buy the other item.
So, OK, maybe i should have used the unlock site mentioned somewhere on here but i tried to save some cash, sue me
Anyway, is the seller just talking cr*p or could the repairs and IMEI changes have caused my phone to have different security or something?!
I know i've not contributed to the forum a lot or anything but i'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
thanks vijay555, just done the same, well worth £15.00
Hi
has anyone used a rebel sim yet - im trying mine on a streak (o2) obviously, with a vodafone card. All it does is flash up the dell logo and then reboot....are there different types of rebel sim also.....the chip on mine is to one side whereas all of the videos that ive seen show it as being in the middle so have i got the right one??
thanks to anyone that chips in...
on rebelsim's site they have a specific section for the dell streak, or if you have a generic or older rebel sim they have a programmer dongle to change the mode of the rebel sim chip

streak unlock code.....doesnt exist yet im pretty sure. o2 are refusing the hand them out for 1 year
Apparently he's filled out the form and been told itll take 10 days...i do have another come-back - im off on hols in 6 weeks to florida - so if i cant then ill pick one up there sim free....

I think you have the wrong rebel sim buddy, the only i have has the little black chip at the top in the centre....
Cant see how it would stop your device from booting up though unless it is short circuiting the bootprocess somehow?
well, as i said earlier (or in another post) they were un helpful, pretty abrupt and theres no where on their site that i can find to get a swap out/returns address. (unless any one can find the link).
Its not so bad anyway as the guy that i bought it from told me that he bought it outright and has applied to o2 for an unlock code and has chased it up and has been assured that he should have one anytime soon....fingers crossed.
I hope he gets one because he will be the first.....

dont bother with paypal they turned me down flat
why isnt possible unlock with program or other method?
Well, not out of the woods yet....the guy i bought it from had a mail back from o2 this morning. They basically said that theyre not prepared to unlock it (even though he bought it outright) for 3 months from the purchase date, so, technically ive got to wait until the start of september. He's obviously complaining and im trying to ask a favour of our o2 sales rep ( we use a corporate blackberry server, phones and dongles through them at my workplace ) - he's put the request in but said "have to see what comes back..."
Fingers still crossed....at its worst ill have to wait 6 weeks for a code...but i cant see what the hassle is as he bought it outright in the first place.
