Hi,
Can some one help me n tell that is it possible to unlock XDA MINI S ?
READ THE OTHER POSTS before opening your pie-hole and you would see that this question has been asked and answered before. If you can't follow these simple instructions get lost and go to ebay so you can buy the same unlock tool for money that is available on this forum for free
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796&start=0
But I thought it wasn't locked in the first place?

OK,
As you may have read in other posts, I, like many other people, have bricked my 02 XDA by trying to update the ROM. It appears there are very few XDA's / Artemis machines that will update successfully if still CID locked.
There is NO O2 ROM available
Once bricked, there are no "free" solutions
I sent my O2 XDA to IMEI CHECK and they reflashed the XDA with a new ROM (choose one from this site) - (O2 ROMs are not available). As soon as they had a working XDA, they emailed me to PayPal the fee and the XDA arrived the following day in the post - working perfectly.
All I can say is :-
I was an idiot to try and update a CID locked XDA
IMEI-CHECK are great and fixed my error for £47
If you have bricked your PDA, the only sure way of fixing it, at the moment, is to use IMEI CHECK
If you want your PDA CID unlocked, the only way of doing this, at the moment, is to use IMEI CHECK
Thank you IMEI CHECK (I have no connection, other than a very satisfied customer)
Best regards to all XDA / Artemis users
Jeff
Cheers
Cheers for that fella,
If only this were a sticky and I read this potential sticky two days ago - i'd not have bricked my XDA like the impatient, impetuous fool that I am.
Never mind o2 can sort it out.
Cheers,
Ste.
Yep, I wish it had been a sticky as well . . . . but you get to learn about life through all these little setbacks. At least there is a get-out and I have a working XDA again! It could have been far worse.

I'm assuming that now that IMEI-CHECK have done the business on your XDA that you can now re flash it to your hearts content?
Also, why is a compatible ROM image not available to reload the XDA anyway? is it just because in our case O2 haven't needed to release one yet or what?
I might just pay the £47 and get this one sorted so I can play with it afterwards, I would have to pay them about half that to get id CID unlocked anyway so it's not all bad.
I've looked at thier site and it tells you nothing - how did you contact them - have you a name and or number?
Ste.
oops
Sorry, must have got the web addess wrong, checked it again and found all the details ok.

Uhmm, you are in the wrong section of the forum. There is a link in my signature. Follow it and you will get what you are looking for. There is also another link for coffee if you would like to buy me some after you are happy with your unlocked device

how do i flash to android (sprint mp6900 sp).. want to remove windows..
I searched and see some people are having the same problem as I do.
My problem, I can not get my ATT galaxy S4 SGH-I337 to unlock. I tried the free method. I bought code, two places, got the same code. But no luck on unlocking this bad boy. Anyone figured out how to unlock it yet? What can I do?
you mean SIM unlock, yes? cell un locker.net worked for me, as did free method. i was going overseas, tried free method which worked with t-mob in USA, but wanted the code just to be safe.
You could use the search function and read the threads that are just like yours: "how do I unlock when free version fails" type thing.
Yes it takes a few minutes to review the first few pages of the general and QA forums, or to use the search function, but I promise you that others have already posted solutions that worked for them.

unable to unlock galaxy s4 i337 ATT
Thanks for all the replies. As I have said, I tried the free ways of unlocking and the buying the code way to unlocking. But still no luck. I can not get it to sim unlock. Anyone having this problem?
Did you try fastgsm.com 15 dollar cable (usb power cord) unlock..worked like a charm for me when I was in the same boat your in

I'm the same boat here bought the code (2 places same code), code will not unlock, now I'm on CM10, but I can not find anywhere that ROM version makes a difference to unlocking did not with teh Atrix and S3 I unlocked. Still kind of stuck, Maybe is it is the F3 modem or something else, really just do not know or understand why I'm encountering issues since other than this thread everyone seems to be having no issues.
Thanks,
ERIC

It works, you missed a step somewhere, try once again. It is the US version you have correct?
Need held unlocking sgh-i337m Telus version
I am new at this. First post ever.
Followed the instructions here to free unlock my phone
Went through the steps twice and did not unlock my device.
So I thought I did something wrong so I went to try one last time. However this time the phone won't allow me past the 1st step.
I enter: *#0011#
Then menu back
Then menu input 1
And at this point the phones restarts. It won't allow me to the full service menu.
Can someone help me please.
The phone is brand new and at one point the was a Samsung update the was downloaded and installed. Don't know if this download changed the system and access to service menu
For some people it fails doing the free method even though they followed it correctly and jt messes up something internally that prevents even the official code from working. The only work around to unlocking it at this stage is via a service called FastGSM from what I've read.

fastgsm cable does not work if your baseband version ends in anything later than ME1. Mine is MF3 and I did not understand this until after I bought the software for USB cable unlock from fastgsm. I have not found any method that will work for me so far.
This is old, but I just want to say that usb cable unlocking worked for me where others failed
Not this one
I spent hours searching forms, for me too non of the free methods worked, until I combined some of them and made a thred, this will work, I just did it myself
I just posted to xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48174440#post48174440

Hello all,
I have a Verizon branded M8 AND have recently switched to TMob. The M8 is running 4.4.4 and is unfortunately still S-on and locked. Am I just stuck with a useless $600 phone until the Sunshine several developers come up with a way? Is that the only outfit with the capability of rooting this phone right now? Thanks in advance to anyone with any info.

Did you try calling verizon to get the unlock code?
If you have been with them for long, they will probably give it to you for free or maybe charge a fee but well you can use your phone then.
If they are unwilling to give you the unlock code then just say that you are gifting it to someone special or donating it. Just come up with a good humane reason and surely they will help.
They will also show you the procedure to unlock it.
Also as far as my knowledge goes, it is not possible to remove your phone carrier's lock using custom firmware.

I did try calling Verizon but i am trying to unlock the bootloader not the Sim. ... does that change your answer or should i try again?
See the htc forums on xda too.
Sim lock cannot be removed by flashing or installing custom firmwares. There is a separate procedure to unlock htc phones and their bootloaders.
I am familiar with htc sensation unlocking but don't know if it is the same for M8.
Will update you when I reach a full fledged computer with the relevant links.
You can also search the xda forums.

I am quite familiar with the htc bootloader and the unlock process. The process includes going to the htc Dev site and getting an unlock token that you then flash to the device using fastboot command. The problem is that verizon seems to be the only carrier who has somehow not allowed this. When you put your a string in on the dev site it comes back with a message saying "your carrier doesnt support" somethin like that neway.... i am wondering though if there is a way to do something at a more physical hardware layer. I mean it is jus a qualcomm chip at the end of the day... if i were to crack it open physically would i be able to access a non populated jumper that would completely erase the eeprom??

It could help. Just searched xda for you. It does not require you to get unlock token from Htc.
Disclaimer: I have not tried any of the above. You do it at your own risk.

Dear xda community,
I guess all of you go nuts if the same question comes up again, again and again.
So please dont bann me if I come up with a question about unlocking the motorola bootloader. I promise, i read all about it and i know that currently where is no known way to unlock or root a device with firmware 183.45.15.
Nevertheless, i was digging through the whole web an found something new about the bootloader, but, as i am not a developer, it's hard for me the get a conclusion about what i found. So i want to ask all of you if this could be usefull to get rid of the brain sucking bootloader problem.
As im new to XDA i am not allowed to post links so please search for
bits please bootloader blogspot
Best regards
André
