universal SIM UNLOCK (plz i need an answer)

hello guyz, i have been asking this question since a while here but got no answer.
has anybody in this forum ever tried the services of IMEI ceck for unlocking the UNIVERSAL, they are the only guyz in the market claiming to have the MAGIC STICK that unlocks those complicated phones, anyway i was just wondering and would love to know if anybody here has tried unlocking his UNiversal throught them.
the reason of my question is, can this be logical, that they are the only genuises on earth getting to unlock the UNI
and thanks alot

Try searching the forums, it is what the search button is for. :wink:
In answer to your question, there are people who have used them, but there is an unlocker on the way.
Also, what model universal is it? Some vendors supply the unlock code for around £20 > £30

lol thanks bro, but i know about this Provider solution, the thing is i have a MDA PRO, and ive got him through the internet, T mobile told me that they dont have its IMEI in thier database, and based upon no UNLCOK code what i find **** is that i have no idea whas wrong with my MDA PRO and its IMEI is not reported stolen, so im sure its not an illegal deal or something, my only hope is an UNLOCK TOOL nothing else

It could be from T-Moblie is a different country, andas such the counry that you are in would not have record of another countri's imei.

I have an MDA Pro from T-Mobile UK, I am in the UK. According to them my IMEI is not in their database either, so they can not unlock the phone to work with my tmobile sim.
I am beginning to think they are a bunch of idiots

is it actually lock the o2 version of the universal dosent seam to be locked

You guys with Tmobile phones not being in the database, have you considered buying a pay as you go SIM and registering it with the IMEI. You can often get such SIMs for free anyway.
Not sure if it will help though!

well thanks for the answers.
but ive gone even further than what you will think, i made a T-mobile subscription in order to be able to use my universal. and i tried calling em to get the unlock code, but they said they dont have it and my IMEI is not in thier database, its bull**** i mean i got the devcie new not a second hand or used or anything, and it got all its DUtch user manuals and CDs so it cant just be from another country, its a dutch phone from the dutch T-mobile, but yet they dont have my IMEI this is way toooo wiered, i dont know where did my device come from lolll. and one thing im sure of, its not stolen

SOS
Dear All,
Is it possible to unlock the SIM on universal
Is tit possible to change the language on the phone from french to English
Can you please guide me on how to do the above as I dont speak french
Is it possible to save the current settings on the phone if the above fails
as the operator sayzs that the warrantz on the phone is void if the language is changed or the SIM is unlocked
My current configuration
operatpor 7.113.5.132
Rom version 1.13.51 FRE
Rom Date 22-09-2005
Radio 1.03.00
Protocol Version 42.36.P8
Ext rom 1.13.132 FRE

abellah30, 3 posts asking same thing? and one question has been asnswered in this thread....
Currently it is NOT possible to unlock the universal without sending to imei check or getting the code from the operator.

If you bought the phone with a subscription, phone up T-Mobile and tell them to send you a new phone. They told me that is what they [T-Mobile UK] would have to do as they didn't have the IMEI details

The unlock codes are only n the database after a while
also some phones are never in the database and they need to contact the manufacturer

THANK YOU

Searh And Read First
First i would advice not to post your im because we dont need it to tell you info on unlocking
Second try to search the the forums but if you dont know what to search for or are lazy to search then her is the guide:
READ FIRST AND AFTER THAT READ AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING YOUR SELF INTO. NO ONE WILL BE RESPONSOBLE IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE
For G3 wizards only
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
but if you have A G4 wizard (a G4 PDA will report an IPL and SPL similar to 2.21.0001 and a G3 PDA will report something similar to 2.21 (notice the G3 doesn't have the trailing .0001) Search around the "Wizard upgrading etc." forum
And a good advice is to search and read the forums and the forum rules (i hope you did read them)

easy way
l called Tmobile cs and told them I was going abro ad to Europe & I ordered/have an European payperMinute SiM...(use another carrier siM For now.example:Boost Mobile,Vodafone, orange, At&t / cingular. Walmart pay go tmobile etc...) easy way!!!They will ask you for a Valid email address & wizard 200 imei #(make sure You get it by going into settings on phone, Sometimes box & sticker in Phone not correct)...2-48 hours later I received a code in my email and wrote down. When you Power off phone switch Sims...when you power on device...white screen will load and display "please enter unlock Code"(not verbatim) More than likely the code will work 99%. CAUTION!!! YOU HAVE 5 CHANCES TO CORRECTLY ENTER CODE (my phone sticker & box ImeI sticker were different From phone settings imei so double Check imei before giVing to tMobile CS...3rd time was charm) phone will Unlock & search for network ! 2 months using at&t pay go between Unlocked sda & mda devices.

That only unlocks the sim...to make any mods, you need to sim/cid unlock...search xda for Lokiwiz, then read the directions carefully. Lokiwiz is actually MUCH easier than calling Tmo and waiting. There is a thread here called "unlocking for dummies" or something like that. Again, use search.

Thankssssssssssssss

No easy roads to be found at xda
And yes, as stated...RTFM's!!! The wiki's and stickies are there for a purpose. We at xda are not responsible for anything you attempt, and therefore it really is the best to learn anything and everything you can about your device before trying any modifications. READ READ READ, be dilligent and don't take the easy way out or you are likely to turn thAt expensive phone into a pretty designer paperweight!

SIM Unlock

Hello all. I got a TMobile Wing from US (I'm from South America), but it's SIM Unlocked.
Anyone knows where can I get a "unlock code key generator" where I can input my IMEI and it gives me my SIM Unlock Code!???
I'm not willing to pay U$ 35!!!!!!!!!, because the phone already cost me a fortune here.

After reading the WIKI, I saw that at this point there's no way (except paying to some obscure website) to unlock the wing.
My points are:
1) How hard can It be to unlock it, because:
1) the website can do that, and I'm pretty sure they're not using the official way.
2) I only need SIM unlock. When I use my SIM card, it asks for an unlock code. I'm assuming that the unlock code is a function of my IMEI number.
If there are code generators for other HTC models, how different the algorithm can be? And, of course, the guys from that website most probably have broke it.
3) I used to crack 68k code long time ago on my Commodore Amiga. Is there any emulator or something? A debugger like softice? Who's working on the unlock code generator? Can I help?

I've been going thru the herald forums for months now, and I have yet to hear of anyone being able to bypass SIM lock on the herald ...
I'm sure if you could figure out how to unlock, it would be much appreciated by the whole community.

i second that.... hope you find a way man... because ive been itching to get my wing working... 35 dollars for a code? that would be too much... some say they can get it from t-mobile for free, you just have to contact them... the problem with our situation (yes i bought mine from ebay also), we do not have a contract with them. i tried it already and they were not willing to help unless i am the subscriber myself asking for the unlocking. i tried contacting the person i bought my phone from but i got no answer.

I was Olipro's tester for his hard-spl, and after it was done, my O2 terra was sim unlocked.
I have no idea how it happened, though

root your phone,install custom ROM and that's it! ...enjoy

Same problem. Where i can found a custom rom with french language please. And the procedure for unlock for any network is just by flash a custom rom?

As said, all you have to do is flash a custom rom on your phone.

I did that, MULTIPLE TIMES, but no success. Sim Lock window is present every time i insert the sim card

you see a window where you need to insert a code generated with the IMEI?
and i bought an unlock code and that was it.

I did that also. But when i insert the key, it responds with "Network unlocking unsuccessful". Could be that it is the wrong key?

[Q] region locked? sim locked?

Hey guys!
first i would like to say thank you.
i'm following this forums for a long time. I may not have anything to contribute, but i do read and learn here a lot. keep it up, you rock!
Secondly, i would like to ask for a little help, i tried to look for an answer here but i get a little confused - can't understand which problem i have:
i'm from Israel, and 2 weeks ago, i was at the US. I bought a brand new S5 from Best-Buy, and i specifically asked for an unlocked one - for use OUTSIDE the US.
and it has a verizon sim card inside (new i guess), and verizon logo on the back and as a splash screen.
when i got back to Israel, i inserted a local sim card and unfortunately - it doesn't work.
* i do get signal of my local carrier, but no cellular data can be used (wifi works fine)
* i get an error at the notifications center - that the sim card is unsupported
* i do not get the "enter unlock code" message
* at the settings-> more networks-> mobile networks ->global data roaming access menu, i get something about roaming outside the US (which might give a hint about the unlock state of the phone i think)
would be very glad to have your help, guys!
thanks a lot!
Tomer.
**** edit: i got the cellular data working (updated APN), but still have the: "Phone Activation: The SIM card is from an unknown source" message...)

Welcome to the forum.
Samsung region locks phones to discourage buying a phone for use in a different part of the world. Your phone is also intended for use with the US carrier Verizon, hence the setup message about not having activated a Verizon account.
Less soluble is your apparent intent to use this phone in Israel. You've apparently bought a 900V model which is not well suited to the frequency bands there. Samsung sells the 900F model in Israel. You would have done well with something like a US 900T, if not a 900F but the 900V model that you bought is intended for Verizon's CDMA network, not the GSM system in the middle east.
As a result you probably will have no coverage whatsoever in the 4G or LTE bands. Also, the Verizon model is one of the few that has a locked bootloader which will prevent you from using custom kernels or a conventional custom recovery.
A simple search of the forum will tell you how to resolve the Verizon error message and your other questions. Or look in my post history as I have answered these questions at length in previous threads.
It's a good habit to search the forum for an answer before posting. There is a wealth of information in existing threads and you could have easily found immediate answers to all of your questions. And remove the need for us to answer the same questions over and over. These are questions that have been asked and answered dozens of times.
