Unlocking XDA 11 - ANy news yet?

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! :-(

Magician unlock NOW AVAILABLE!

It's real, it's here and i've tested it!
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=201169
Not bad for £20 IMHO (£44 if you sign up to MoDaCo Plus to get the early unlock and the MoDaCo Plus benefits!)

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?

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.

when you pay anything is possible

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

Sorry for being so short. But heliosfa is right. We shoot first look and then post.
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.

HTC HD2 on o2 - locked!

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
I purchased the unlock code for my Touch HD (was locked on Orange) from blackstone.unlock-now.com

Did you ask o2 for it?
also can you name and shame the company you have just paid money to (and amount paid)

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

may well be right ! can't remember that far back !
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!

mine is a T8585 as I have an o2 one.
also - can anyone with an o2 one find the screen allignment option? looks like o2 have basterdised the os a bit too much.

It's under settings>advanced>display but pointless as you don't have a stylus.

I do not have an advanced top level menu under settings!?

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.
Freaky LOL

im thinking of buying htc hd2 from o2 for 400£ should it come unlock or unbranded?

Unlock x10

I am searching for a method to unlock the x10 but i can cat the right method.
For the unbrand method ( by flash another firmware ) i cant find the dutch rom.
At the other program i must by credits over a paypall acount but i dont have paypall and the unlock must be done as soon as possible.
So what is the best and the fastest way to unlock the x10i branded from HI in holland?
( sorry for my bad english but as you can see i am from holland )

You can unbrand it.
Unbranded dutch rom can be found here
But you should know that unbranding your device doesn't unlock it. So you still won't be able to use non-Hi/KPN sim-cards.
If you do want to unlock you can buy the unlock code from Hi, but that'll cost you €68,- i believe.

I used unlocking.com and paid £19.99 and got my unlock code in approx 24hrs and it worked fine...

I thought unbranding remove the simlock
I cannot contact HI about it becouse i dont have a HI number. I chance the x10 fore my vivaz pro and not the numbers.
The only way to unlock the x10 is to order a unlock code and wait for a couple of days?

After a week waiting for unlocking.com to get my unlock code, I got nervous and went to htccode.com for it. Surprisingly, this guy did it in 10 minutes, so I really recommend the service in there. A bit pricey (40$), but definitely worth it. Nice support, and really fast. Comparing it to a week of waiting and asking to support service what the hell was going on, it's definitely worth the price.
Regards!

I am trying to get unlock code for my new X10a (Rogers). I tried from ebay and again yesterday from http://www.cellunlocker.net/. Both took about a day each and sent message saying there is no unlock code for my IMEI. Do newer Roger phones take time to get unlock code? I am now worried. The phone is brand new and I opened it. It's clearly Rogers branded.

I was able to unlock my Rogers phone for $15 or so. I did it a month ago, so the fix is out there.

From which place?

My xperia x10 was locked to orange. I did a lot of research and like so many ppl i placed an order at unlocking com. After waiting for 8-10 days, they replied that the code couldnt be found. Out of options i tried htccode To be true i was a bit afraid by reading lot of bad stuff about htccode. But in the end it worked pretty well. During the whole process i was in touch with the support rep and effectively it took only 5-10 mins to complete the process. I know the price is a bit high 40USD but in my opinion it is worth spending.
PS: The views expressed in this post are of author's only. I am not advertising htccode neither do i have any affiliation with them.
Cheers!

I am not willing to spend over $10 . Anway, the Locked Rogers X10a I have right now is in Black and I really don't like it as much as I like my white X10i. So, ordered an unlocked White X10a this time and will sell my black X10a if I can't get it unlocked in a week or so. If I can get it to unlock I might just use it and give the white X10a to my wife.
