Can some one please tell me how I can unlock my T-Mobile MDA Compact?
The site imei-check.co.uk says that it will
:arrow: Cost £20
:arrow: Take upto 48h
:arrow: AND they require photo ID
So basicaly my driving licence with my address on it.
not something I am willing to send to some unknown people.
I have used the utility I got from the site, to get the unlocking information.
it looks encrypted - does anyone know how to extract the unlocking code from it?
Thanks in advance!
I'd be very wary of giving people my full address, as well as my credit card details... especially when their website uses BLINK tags. Avoid.
Hello!
They are reliable. It´s a seious company! They have alot of happy customers.
Björn
That may be so, but I still do not want to send anybody a scan of my driving licence.
and, I am sure a free solution must exist!
I am quite surprised that no one has posted it. (or am I looking in the wrong places?)

Free soultion would be contacting your vendor (o2, t-mobile, ...), from where you get your phone and ask them after the unlocking code....
Stefan
I got the unit second hand, and anyway the "vendor" in UK charges customers for unlock code.
There are plenty of FREE solutions available, however, they do not seem to work on my model
I'm from Poland, and I can't register @ PayPal... what should I do?
This is why I Like forums
You beg for help, some people say they have the same problem, others advise you to do what you do not want to do, and then the thread dies... without the solution :?
if its a second hand device and you dont have paypal find a friend that has and see if they can help, if you are unwllling to send photo id's they just go to your carrier and wait on them to get back to you with the details..... it doesnt get any simplier than that
I did not by the phone from a person I know personally.
If I were to do so, I would request that hypothetical person to get the unlocking code from T-mobile. Alas, that was not the case, and I am stuck with a phone that I cannot use.
I know that a software solution is available, I have seen it working, the most difficult part of the procedure is over, all that is left, is to decrypt the file produced by HTC PocketPC Phone Edition simlock remote unlocker. (probably with the password “we_took_you_for_the_ride_ha_ha”) and unlocking code gets calculated.
So once again, the software solution IS available.
Why must I search for friends willing to expose their ID’s on my behalf?
I have nothing to hide, in fact, I run a business, and my name can be checked on the http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ but I do not send copies of my documents to people who, as the Chinese gentlemen rightfully points out, use BLINKing text on their webpage
AND whose “business” address is
50 Belmont Street
Kilsyth
Glasgow
G65 9UP
Just see this map
Hi there,
I'm the Director of the IMEI-CHECK (brand of MIGsofT LTD UK --check us with company house too please), and we ask for the ID JUST to check that you are the real OWNER of the paypal account. Buying via paypal, we already have you details (NAME + ADDRESS) and the ID it will JUST confirm IT, THAT'S all.
Also MIGsofT Ltd signed the DATA PROTECTION ACT (please feel free in checking that too) so all your data are safe with us, and the address you posted is the correct one (please feel free to mail us some nice post cards, and if you want to visit our office please make an appointment first!).
We had to introduce this protection to avoid people buying with hijacked accounts, because two weeks ago we caught one of the big scammers/phishers and now police is investigating this and paypal and eBay need (a much to long) time to investigate.
So to protect ourselves we had to install this extra protection.
The seller is not getting any money if was used by hijacked paypal accounts. Even worse we have to pay GBP7 / reversed transaction...
To keep this service online we request something which proves identity of the paypal account holder. So the hijacker (which sold for 15GBP on eBay) will not have a chance anymore. We have to continue until police arrested this guy (full address and name are known)
Also the blinking text is really needed since 99% of customers will not read what not blink (we tried with red and bold and nobody read it so we had to do something)
what about users, that can't register to PayPal?
noone will help me
In the end, I paid £30 to a friend of mine who does unlocking as hobby.
I sent him the file produced by the HTC unlocking application, and he texted me the unlocking code. 8)
I am now a happy owner of a MDA compact; everything works the way I want, except voice dialling. :shock: But that is another issue altogether.
P.S. to the director of the IMEI unlocking company:
The address looks like residential to me…

Hi!
I'm using my Vario II with a hosted exchange server provided by 1und1 and so I'm stuck with the enforced security settings.
Some time ago I read someone managed to disable this but unfortunately I don't find it any more. I tried the search engine but it didn't come up with what I was looking for.
Anybody who can help me?
Thanks!
With the enhanced security, are you not able to get anything working on your PPC? Or do you just not want it there? If it's the latter, I'd really like to know why you wouldn't want security on there.
Hi! Everything works fine. But I use this on a private basis and therefor it is unnecessary for me to use a password. Additionally I use an Anti-Theft-Software which is unlikely to be of any help if the device is password protected.
Apart from that it's just a matter of convenience. I've seen that it's possible and now I would like to try it.
I suppose telling your IT dept that you want to be on the password exception list is out of the question eh?
I'm using a hosted exchange. There is no way of changing the server settings.
Anybody help please?

Try the solution posted in the link below. I haven't tried it but I think it might help...
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...blem-cannot-turn-off-password-lock-fixed.html
Thanks for your answer. I tried it but unfortunately this does not do the trick... :-(
Hi! If you just want to turn off the security check when you turn your phone on. You can go to SETTINGS->(the symbol with the key don't know what its called on english rom) and set the time to 24 hours. Now all you have to do is turn your phone on once within 24 hours...and you will never see the security keypad again. I hope that is of any help to you...
Brevi
Thanks for the tip. It's already set to 24h. The reason I want to disable this is not just me being to lazy to key in the 4 numbers but to allow my anti-theft-software to work properly. But when the SIM is changed a softreset is performed and the Password is required before the thief's SIM can be activated and an alert SMS can be sent.
That's my problem.
I have called them twice today, did chat three times and even e-mailed them. 4 times i have been told they are out of the activation codes, and the last time i got asked for the imei......this is becoming a huge headache, are the apps and the xbox live functionality really that worth it? or should i admit defeat and go back to droid? Any one else haveing similar issues? or is anyone willing to pass along there code because they just dropped in to check it out than flashed back to something else?
Make up another email and name. They can check your chat history so making up more stories wont help. With a new name and email start a chat. Make up some BS like you use a throat mic and they customer service on the phone didn't understand you. It doesn't matter what name or number you give them Im more than sure their codes are pretty universal on devices of the same type. If no success make up another email and name and try again. I got it on my 3rd try via chat.
so i went back in armed and ready, new name, new email, and hopes for a code
Caleb: Welcome to Microsoft Customer Service Chat, Josh.
Caleb: I understand that you need an activation code for Windows Phone 7. Is this correct?
Josh: yes sir
Caleb: Thank you for the confirmation.
Caleb: My apologies but our tool to generate the activation code is undergoing system update. Kindly contact this number: 877-438-9863. Business hours are 9:00 am to 1:00am Eastern Time. (6:00am to 10:00pm Pacific Time). They are the team that can assist you in activation code
back at square one............
Just wait it out. N if they say to call make up some BS. Say you got some issue with your voice or speaking. If not then try the email route.
he told me to call, i said i had a horrible stuttor and tried to call them already but got frustraited with them not being able to understand me lol. I did send an email so we will see what tommorow brings. Thanks
I took two attempts for me to get a code from them.
They will give you a code - just wait it out.
You can still configure your handset to sync your contacts, email and calendar with windows live whilst your waiting to activate?
If you set-up an outlook exchange account and use the following server address:
server: m.hotmail.com
Domain: leave clear
Username: web
Password: web
I found it wont let you complete the set-up without entering something for the domain. I entered a couple of random characters so you can finish the set-up, then once the account was complete I went back into the email settings and deleted the random characters.
got an reply in email this morning, was excited thought i finally got it! and sure enough all they say is i hear you need to activate, call our office at blah blah blah
im done with WP7, not worth all these attempts to get this ID anymore, going back to droid after i get off work.
LOL .. Before you give up .. one last chance :
Here is my story : I called them when the method was just found, I got an activation code . Tried it but it didn't work, I thought I got it wrong so I called and got another Key. It didn't work either So I hard-resetted WP7 and tried the sec code and it worked .. So now I have the first key which I'm not sure whether I got it correctly or not but you can try it and PM me if it worked :
D7YJ4-TKXX2-PRRRM-M7X3G-XXXXX
I PM'ed you the red X's : )
Hello kawasaki, can you pm the red xxxx, i already try many ways with no luck
thank you
hey guys,
the chat that you guys mentioned, where can i find it? Can somebody be so kind and post me the link?
I went on Microsoft website and man, that thing's a maze. It just circles me around the website over and over and over...
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
They don't seem to be giving out the codes as much now.... good luck and let us know if it works.

Sure you could all use the same key, and then have all the devices using that key be banned by Microsoft. It is as simple as that.
ah right, lol was just a thought. I think ill just try an guess my key lol! at the rate ms is taking to reply to my emails ill have ill have guessed it hehe
failed...they asked for my IMEI..and i gave it to them..and they said i have a HD2...they don't support it..told me to get a genuine phone..LOL! oh well....

Not sure if I missed something. What is your country?
I called M$-Support of Germany on Monday this week and they gave me a key while we were on the phone. No question about IMEI but the manufactorer of my phone. I said HTC and there were no further questions.
In parallel I've sent an email to M$-International support last weekend. I received another key just a couple of minutes ago

Ha ha ha.I think so.
hi guys, i wouldn't post this if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
i've tried requesting the activation key using the microsoft chat service without success. i think i must have gone through 6 representatives who have all either asked me to contact microsoft singapore or require an imei number from me before they are willing to entertain me. i have also tried contacting microsoft singapore, and they requested that i scan a receipt as proof of purchase.
it's been pretty frustrating that i haven't been able to get one for about 4 days and so i humbly request help from you kind forumers out there. if anybody could help me get a key i would be eternally grateful!
thank you in advance

Did you try the email route?
Btw 4 days is nothing. Some have been hunting an activation code for much longer.
My question is why don't you just try and give them your imei number? worse comes to worse they'll just tell you that your phone is a hd7... i mean just try don't be scare.
Try the UK

Seriously, I still dont get why people have problems with getting an activation code. I got my first one on the first try. Then when my sd card got messed up and I did a hard reset, I realised I didnt save the activation key. So I called them again and got another one, just like that. (Being in the US mighta helped though)

They're starting to catch on and ask for valid wp7 imei's or proof of purchases most of the time now, even for us in the US. I just got a second code yesterday and I had to give a HD7 imei to get it. When I called for my first code the day the port was released, I had no problem and it was easy... didn't need imei.
DO YOU WANT AN ACTIVATION CODE? OR DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A CALL FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?
Post here if you tried the follow at least 3X!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579
I know how annoying it is when you call MS a lot for a code, wasting all your money cause the local cal-center "can not help you with that problem". i also saw people that manage to easily get 3 codes, without wasting money. i also saw some people, like me, that did not manage to get a code but really tried it...
So.... What about 1 topic where people can help each other?!?!
IF YOU WANT A CODE:
Please ask nicely in your post for an code. ALSO EXPLAIN WHY U CAN'T GET ONE YOURSELF!!! if you got one, be gratefull, thank him, maybe buy him a beer
IF YOU WANT TO HELP SOMEBODY, so he can also enjoy WP7, just as much as you do...
Please call your MS-central and obtain a key (just as you probably did before). Then reply on the request-post: say you got a code.
PM the user with that code.
CONTINUE YOUR DAY WITH THE FEELING THAT YOU REALLY HELPED SOMEONE!!
Okay i will be first...
I am from the Netherlands and my local MS/HTC call-center won't give me a code cause they want to verify my HD7 IMEI, wich i don't have of course...
i called the UK number A LOT, 1 time somebody said he will mail it to me, but i never got a code. other times people said they can't give that code, BLA BLA BLA... all this calling to the UK has cost me over 10 euros...
Would somebody like to help me? and call for me?
it would REALLY be appreciated!
Thanks already!
man i had managed to obtain 2 codes long time back ,......lost one of them ... wil try to search .. i cant promise but will intensly and if i find it will give it to you ..for sure ..also PM me i have a good idea for you ..
same situation for me, was asked for IMEI. so i'm stucked i would be very grateful for some help!!
Yeahhhhhh!!! I finally got one! I will try it again tomorrow for adam

Hi at all,
I am not facing the problem, coz I got my code one year ago without any problems from Germany. What I am wondering is, it seems that ppl at microsoft pick up their ears as soon someone tells them he has a HD7, since they started asking for the IMEI.
Well I am quite sure that one can use his activation code on any WP7 device, as it is stated that you can use one code on 5 devices. So why not just tell them. "hi there I need an activation code for my Nokia Lumia 800" ?
Just an idea, maybe it helps.

Exactly :/ Tried to get one and failed :/ First they were asking a lot about phone, second time they wanted me to call them so I left :/ Next time I was angry and just told them that I need activation key because I want to buy some apps it didnt work also I hope someone with better luck or "skill" can send me one Big thanks!
Hi, just a heads up:
Some of you are posting "please help" and posting your email. That's completely useless, since to get the code, more details are needed (don't make them public now or it will be dangerous). In addition, some of you post a Gmail: you need Hotmail to get the code Live ID.
Instead of posting "I've been trying for a year, please help", try the new methods (really, a year and nothing? ), and if none of them works (some should), look for someone who can do it for you. So don't sit back, move if you are really interested.
I can do it or try, I've done it before for me and another user, but I will never contact you to help you . I will help you if you contact me, though. You are the one with interest for it, not me.
