How?
Please, xda-developers, please, we need to unlock our XDA II ; 'til that I just can use it as a PDA
Thank's a lot, guys, if you have time ...
o2 charged me £15 for the unlock code...got it within 48 hours
Hi,
What number at O2 did you call to unlock the phone and what excuse did you you use?
Thanks,
K
just plain customer services from my handset ..and just asked for it to be unlocked..i just said that i wanted to use a foreign sim card when abroad
xda 2 Unlock code, i have one
I have an unlock code for XDA 2, please e-mail me and I can send it to someone to see if it works. Completeley free as I don't know if it will work. :?
Unlock codes will be unique to each Xda II IMEI.
So, I very much doubt your code will work in any Xda.
I'd imagine the Xda II will be much harder to unlock than Xda I
Xda 2 Unlock
You are more than welcome to try if you wish.
No master code? Ah well, such is life.
XDA II unlock

Can you also use other UK SIMs, e.g., Vodaphone?
Could you also send the telephone number you called?
Many thanks
Unlock codes
O2 customer services are so inconsistent keep phoning everyone. I phoned three times first time I was told it could not be done, second time the woman said she would put the request in for me and it would cost me £15.00 and that she would phone me back. As she didn't phone back I phoned the next day to complain and got passed to a supervisor who told me that O2 were no longer issuing codes for the XDA II as they wanted it to be for O2 only and that this had come from the board of directors!! He add though, that if I paid my contract out which he said would be £400.00 plus the £15.00 they would consider it. I am on pay as you go so I could not do this and wouldn't anyway. I accepted this and thought I would wait for the developers here to sort it out, within 5 minutes of me putting the phone down the lady I spoke to the day before from O2 rang back and said " I have the code I requested yesterday would you like it?" Naturally I said yes, She then gave it to me asked me if she could help me with anything else, which I replied no, and she put the phone down. The best part about this is that she forgot to charge me £15.00 for the code, She hasn't taken it from my C/Card or my payg balance, BONUS!!!!! 8)
So everyone, Just Keep trying O2 Customer Services on 08702410202 and press Zero until you go through to a Human Being.
unlockin the xda 2 drama's!!
Im so sad!
jus been on phone to o2 so many times today but they jus wont unlock it!
even after saying that its against offtel regs they said its their own make so they dont hav to unlock it....
so if any1 knos of a independant shop who will help or of any1 who has a code - plz help me!!
thanks
You won't believe this!!
My Brother got an XDA II which he gave to me to get unlocked, I had no luck with normal O2 customer services. However, his contract is a corporate contract, So I used his details and after hanging around on the phone for about an hour I went through to a personal Corporate advisor who will now be e-mailing me the code in two or three days. It was so easy!!!! no questions asked. They said they would charge the acount, which is fine by me!!
The moral to this story is - if you know anyone who has a corperate acount with O2, ask them very nicely if you can use their details.
You will need - The mobile number, The company name, The company address, the O2 contact person (if possible, if not just say you don't know), The name of your mate and the IMEI number also the e-mail address of your mate with company.
Good Luck and keep trying!!
Maybe at some point we can provide some help
No promises, but we do not have locked devices ourselves. So if you could go to http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4095 with your locked device and send me some info...
Thanks,
Thanks a lot xda-devs , we are crossing fingers !!!
I went to the thread to see if I can help, but it appears to be chinese to me ... I have not Linux, but if I can help in any way, let me know by PM... :wink:
any news yet...
hi..noob here...
this seems a hot topic... are we any nearer to unlocking the XDAII...
must be someone, somewhere...
hopefully...

Hi,
I've worked on unlocking software before.. Is there any info on exactly how the locking in this phone works? I was quite surprised to see AT commands can do it. Have they left some high level unlocking commands or are you accessing the flash/eeprom through those commands?
If the former i guess there is a checksum or some kinda signing algo? or is it even eaiser than that hehe
If the later, i guess you need to map the rom and eeprom before you can do it.
And erm.. couldnt we just upload the rom from a iMate Phone Edition (from Carrier Devices), which is the unlocked version of the XDA II (O2 rebadged it for their network)
Toxic.
Hmm having thought about that, the rom probably checks weather a lock is present. The only way that would work is if the iMate doesnt bother with any lock checks at all, rather than just comes unlocked.
Thats probably unlikey :-(

You just have to insert a different SIM card (not O2) and the xda2 wiill ask for the code ...
Happy you are !!! can you tell us how you have proceed to get the code, please ?
Hi all,
I've spent the last 3 weeks searching through everything so as not to waste anyones time with a simple question but to no avail.
I've been given an XDA II from a family member as they have upgraded to the Exec and I have been using it as a PDA only. Well I see that Orange have some good deals on the go and so decide to use it as a phone/Internet enabled PDA.
I've unlocked it (many times now) got 2003SE on it and have put the correct MMS and GPRS settings in (The ones from Shadamehr). I've checked with Orange and GPRS is enabled on my account with them (PAYG at the mo) but for some reason the same thing that was happening when I first got it pops up
"Cannot connect
There is no modem at the above number..."
So best my small mind can figure is that somehow the 'phone part' of the PDA isn't working. I've tried other sims in it and they don't work either (o2 and Three - but I think Three is funny anyways). Is there something wrong with the actual phone bit?
It's a legit XDA with the M1000 ROM upgrade from the orange site which has made it 2003SE
Does anyone have any knowledge about how I can get my PDA to be a phone? It was once before (but with O2)
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

No modem at above number
Thanks for the link, but believe me I've tried this. I retried it to be sure just now.
"No modem at above number" is what I get after the XDA II tries to connect.
I have no phone reception whatsoever, no internet and no SMS.
My XDA II just works as a PDA with no communication possiblities apart from USB cradle.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

If there's no phone reception, and no GPRS, how do you expect to connect to one?
Not to be mean or anything, but aren't your hopes of connecting a little farfetched if all the systems you're trying to use are down?

Your not being mean, believe me after a month of searching through here and SPV developers anything that wuld resolve this issue would be appreciated.
Why would the phone element of my XDA just stop working? I can only imagine some sort of Hardware fault but I'm a thorough bunny and would like to make sure of this. A diagnostic app or some way of reading the phone element like a device driver would be handy.
So in brief, why has my phone part of my XDA II stopped working and how do I switch it back on again (if this is at all possible)?
Thank you for your replies thusfar Cynagen, I shall start to ask these questions in the Himalaya forum also now since it seems model specific and not network related.
Any and all further assistance is much appreciated.

hi all, im new to the site and to my wizard (got it last month). I bought it from a friend of mine who hasnt paid his bill in a while....well, i stuck my prepaid sim in it and... well to my amazment i got full blown internet for free (using it to make this post)... not to mention use it as a (albiet slow) modem for my pc......hmm.
so, found this website, overclocked my wizard (thanks to omapclock/plus) among other stuff and then looked for a post about this but found old stuff from 2004 so I was just wondering if this was common knowledge or am i the first person with a p/p wizard.
ps. i love this phone
kiss my @$$ razr
are you sure, you are not connected to WLAN?
I have a Wizzard (k-Jam) on Prepaid and I do not get free internet, that has nothing to do with the phone, its purely to do with your network provider, and good luck finding cheap, let alone free, gprs in australia
I got my T-mobile MDA sometimes last year... cancelled my t-mobile contract n got a prepaid SIMcard(T-mobile)... hadn't put a penny(re-fill) since Oct. 2006 n data works just fine(EDGE), i was surprised... I really feel sorry for T-Mobile, only if they knew :-D. I connect my Pc too using my Wizard (Internet Share)... can't remember last time i used WIFI coz all the hotspot connections are locked/secured where i live, had to go for walk to get the unlocked ones :-D.... Oh and there was a time i could send text too on my phone when my prepaid SIMcard was out of funds, i had to resend texts 6 times though blah blah blah... Anyway, i feel really sorry for those people with Data plan on their phone ... (T-Mobile Data plan $29.99)Ouchhh. And i hear some other wireless networks charge more, so sad.
First to post i think
i posted this on Jan 5, i also tought that i was the first to notice but someone in Howardforums posted this in there. i think i posted this first and then two other people too and welcome to the forums but i posted this in the general forums not in the wizard forums
U might be the first one to posted it... but other people have figured it out way long before u posted it... :-D. Personally i've been using the free internet since Oct. last year.
wow!!! can someone PM me the details on how to get the free internet. I reside in canada as well.
Frankly, i find this very hard to believe, but still i think it's caused by the bad management of the network.
This happened to me few months ago :
Me: Hello, i would like to activate the 12MB/month data plan
Provider: Of course, please tell me what phone you're using
Me: (After half an hour trying to explain that i don't have a Nokia)It's a PDA, manufactered by HTC.
Provider: Let me check....music for 30sec-1min...I checked and it seems that your device is not compatible with our services.
Me: Ha ? That is not possible, please tell me the settings (apn and such) so i can connect to the internet.
Provider: What nokia model you said you have ?
Me:(already tearing my hear) What devices you know that they are compatible ?
Provider: SonyErricsson...nokia....so on
Me: Well, i have a...ehm..Sony.(one that she said it's working...yeah it was a she)
Provider: Ok, i will send you the settings on mail.
Bottom line :
All the darn settings i waited over an hour for were these :
apn=internet
i wouldn't overclock over 260 btw. but if no problems good for you. some have messed up there phone that way. all white screen, lines, reboots. gl

please help
Your phone is blocked by the operator. Whoever sold you had it on contract and has either stopped paying the bill or has reported the phone lost or stolen. Orange sims will work for a very short time when they are first put into the hermes until the network picks up it is blocked. If you want proof just put the orange sim in a phone that works fine and make a couple of calls and then take it out and put it in the hermes and power it up and you will get a signal and it will work for a while then it will switch off again.
I would contact ebay and report him and if you paid by paypal i would contact them too. Well unless he stated that the phone was blocked already, in which case you havent got a leg to stand on.
If you are in the uk you can check if the imei is blocked by dialing this number, just follow the prompts and enter the imei when it asks, the number is 07956125820. Its a tmobile number for checking imei's out
When i bought this phone was difrent rom i change it for oragne now. i will make a movie whats problems i got with phone and i will put links on youtube in here i think u know what you doing. so if u got time help me.
Don't change anything.... Reread scousemartin's post, he already told you whats wrong. If you play around with it you aren't gonna get anywhere and its just gonna be a headache if you bought it off ebay. As its been modified by you, the seller will say YOU caused the problem so its NOT HIS/HER fault and you will be out of pocket with a useless phone.....
Hey i tryied to call this number but i got signal but no boady anwser. I will go to oragne or carphonewarehouse.
that number works, try calling it on a phone that isnt the one thats blocked
going to orange or the car phone warehouse wont be of any use as they are going to say exactly what i have told you, you have been ripped off by somebody on ebay. Why dont you just contact ebay and tell them they have sold you a phone thats been blocked in fact if it was me, i would post there ebay username all over the net
