Hi there,
I found the Qtek phone on the nightbus. I could not get it do do anything, the only items displayed is in french and I think it is asking for a password.
Translated the french on google - it says "Enter your password and support on OK". The phone is a Qtek S200.
Is there any way that I could remove this passowod/pin?
I look forward to hear from anyone
Regards
You should turn the phone in to the nearest lost and found or the police so the owner can claim it rather than trying to open it!
Well, if it's the password for the picode of the simcard, just remove the simcard.
If it's the wm5 password thingy just do a hard reset
But I have nothing to doubt your good intentions. And the only reason you want to get passed the password is to find out who the owner is of this phone.
But as someone said above, the best thing to do is to bring it to the closest police station where you found the phone!

Has anyone used this site to unlock their device? I''ve ordered an XDA 2i from the uk and should have it here in Saudi this week, was going to use this site to unlock it. Any comments???
Yes, DareDevil, I used them to unlock my 2i. Great service, as they say only takes couple of minutes. Their support is very good too. Be aware though that you will lose various settings and stuff. I had to hard reset mine after unlocking cos I lost MMS composer and the Phone Pad input. Good news ( imo ) is that o2 Active disappears also
Also if anyone out there can help me with setting up MMS on it again, that would be much appreciated. I've found all the setting but can't seem to enter everything I need. Where do I enter the URL bit? :?
So, anyway DareDevil, yes I highly recommend them.
Sorry to be a pain in the proverbial rear, do you think it will make a difference if I attempt to unlock the device from Saudi Arabia as opposed to uk (which is where the phone will be from)???
Secondly, did you manage to get the phonepad input back once you'd done a hard reset??
Cheers
Leroy
Not a pain at all mate
Wouldn't have thought it would make a difference 'where' you unlock phone. You run a program on your PC/fone which you send the results of back to imei-check people ( via email ) and they send you unlock code. it's as easy as that. In fact if you go to their web site
www.imei-check.co.uk
it tells you what you have to do.
As I said, if you still not sure, ask their support team. They really are very good.
Regarding Phone Pad, yes, after a hard reset it came back. o2 Active never returned, though I'm sure that won't bother you.
The only problem I'm still having is my MMS settings are giving me hell!! :evil:
@shanedean
Maybe you can download the original ROM from the O2 website and run it as you already have your unlock code (and I believe a ROM update does not lock the device again).
No good to me. I've unlocked it and am using my Orange SIM, therefore I need to recreate the settings that I have on my M1000. This is probably a very simple process, but it's driving me mad.
Hi,
I've bought a cingular 8525 in the US expecting to be able to unlock it with the unlock tool Pof released. When I received the device and turn it on to my surprise asks a four digit password. It is a password protected device. How can I get rid of this password in order to proceed with the unlock of the SIM?
If I hard reset it will this allow me to enter my own password? Will hard reset affect any of the features or sofware that came original from factory?
I've writen to the seller asking for this password but have not got any answer yet.
Thanks for any help!

Would that be a PIN from the SIM card?
A factory default Trinity even for those branded ones should have a default password set and enabled.
If its a brand new device, apparently they played around with it in the shop where you bought it.
If its a used device, the guy who sold it was setting a password.
In both cases you should ask the vendor about the password.
As the seller is not replaying to your mail, its possible that its a stolen one. How much did you pay for it?
well, the vendor said the consignant is traying to talk with his tech friends to find out what is this password but I don't know if he will come with a solution. That's why I asked if I hard reset it will cancel the previous password. I don't have any data in the phone yet for it is brand new so I am not afraid of loosing any data. I just need to know if a hard reset will solve the problem or if there is any other way to get rid of the password.
thanks,
Andre
If you don't have any data in the phone then trying a hard reset won't hurt because it'll re-install to factory (or currently installed rom) default settings. I don't know if this will get rid of the pin lock but it's worth trying.
Also, try a different SIM card as ww2250 said. This might be the problem.
Has anyone performed a hard reset and remember if the password was cancelled?

I have the pin for the SIM card I use in my other cel phone. I inserted the SIM card and typed its PIN and it didn't work. I believe it is requesting the device password.

I bought it at ebay express with a vendor with a hi score feedback. I've paid 400 bucks for it. The seller is answering my emails but didn't give me the solution for the problem.
Hard reset it. This will clear it.

Just hard reset the device and you will be able to do what you want with it.
I brought the Cingular 8125 off of Ebay and the cell phone has a password that I can't get pass. I tried several HARD RESETS and it didn't work. I tried to flash the pda/phone but that didn't work. What can I do to get pass the password so that I can flash the phone with upgrade firmware???????
Thanks

I have three words for you:
Call your seller.
Seriously.
If he/she won't give you the password, demand a refund, and report them to eBay management. It probably won't come to that, though, since this was probably just an oversight on the part of the seller. There isn't much else you can do.
There are (probably illegal) programs available on the internet that claim the ability to circumvent or recover such passwords. I would be extremely skeptical about their claims, and their motives, but your desire to hack the phone may overwhelm your restraint.
First of all, this is my first post and I would like to excuse my bad english ^^
Okey, so here's my situation. I bought a phone over the Internet from a private seller who claimed she did'nt know wether the phone was SIM-locked or not. She also claimed that she had used two sorts of SIM cards, with two different operators.
So, I tried with my card. It says (i have in Swedish, so i'll translate as good as I can) "No service". So I went in to Settings -> Network and at the top it says "Current Network: No Service" . I have tried everything in those menues, like choose network manually and such. Everything comes down to the same, No service at the little icon at the top screen.
So, I runned the Unlock-service that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957. I did it step by step and it worked perfectly, except one thing; my problem stands.
So what should I do? Have i missed something? If the phone shows to be stolen, I think it's weird that I even got into the phone. I can use Wi-Fi and such, that works properly. Activesync, no problem at all.
What should I do?! Please, please help me!
Call the police.
Find out from a phone company if the IMEI is blocked.
Not a lot you can do but Call the authorities and get them to deal with it.
If the phone is reported stolen it wont stop the phone working as a PDA, it will just block it's usage as a phone.
Ebay has a link to check stolen phon (before you buy) - http://www.checkmend.com/uk/ - You need the IEMI number use *#06# to get it. The service isnt free, but is recommended by the Met Office.
eventually this helps you:
i've had a trinity in "active service" for about one year,
and i've noticed the following:
everytime i used a sim card which i had never used before
in the trinity, it tooks minutes to get the "no service" away.
after the fist initialisation of the new sim, every further
turning on the device (till i get a service) was much
faster.
so let the phone at least 10min with your sim, if you
would still no service, then you should check your imei.
and: sometimes you have to click on the "services" tab
in the title bar to get to the pin verification. for some
reason sometimes that did'nt come automatically frontwards
for me...
good luck & regards,
markus
i would check via the ebay link, if that comes up ok just reflash the phone with an radio and see if that works. If the imei is ok and the flash with the radio doesn't fix it then you might have a hardware issue.
Problem solved! I tried with yet another operator, and it worked! So the problem is locked. I'm going to the store tomorrow to lock it up. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thank's guys!
why go to a shop to unlock it when you can get it done for free on here

I can't get that thing to work. It says "No service" with my SIM! I have posted in the thread for it but noone answers. Could someone help me?
I bought 2 Qtek S200 in ebay and they're working fine, but, they are PIN-Locked (The phone are locked, not the chip). I must put a password (4 numbers) for tur then on, i contacted the seller and he sayed he don't know the password. Have anyway to turn on/hard reset them?
Very Thanks for your attention,
Daniel.
Make a hardreset.
