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…

Hallo
I want to unlock my mda compact
Has anyone experience with that issue.
On Internet I found these sites, which offer a simlock remove service by
generating a code.
What I am interested in, are this trustworthy services, because the payment of most of them is with credit card, and some of them wants to sent them a photographic id (like driver license, ..)

Or does anyone know a method to unlock mda compact (magician) for free ?
thanks
Peter
Most people have been using: http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
Thanks
Have anyone else expierence with one of the services ?
Perhaps everyone could post its experience on simlock remove services.
Perhaps with infos on
How long did you wait until you got the code ?
How complicated ?
What about payment.
Do you know any other service
I used this site http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
My phone arrived today, locked to T-Mobile.
I used http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ and within a few minutes I had the unlock code and it worked first time. Perfect.
Hallo
I tried this service imei-check too some weeks ago
I went to paypal sent them my money by credit card.
After one hour I got a mail to sent them a photoid
At that moment there was nothing on imei-check homepage like today, no red blinking info to sent them a copy of your driver license.
I don't like to sent such a document, because I don't know what they do with that and perhaps they also get the credit card info from paypal.
After some mails, imei-check told me they need this info because of frauds, that useed faked paypal account. I asked for other payment options.
Finally they chanceled the paypal and I got my money back.
Have you had to sent them such a photo id.
You wrote you got it in few minutes
What you have done to get this so fast.
At the homepage they wrote it coult last 48h
Thanks for your reply
Peter
I made payment, scanned in a copy of my passport and emailed it to them. Within 1 min I had a mail back with my details.
I also used the imei-check service. I was pretty drunk,
and had troubles to make a decent pic of any document.
I payed with paypal, and minutes later I had the software,
and unlocked my MDA Compact... They had my money, I had my
MDA unlocked, so that must be enough I think. Great service...

i haven't looked, but i think with the magician, the locking mechanism works the same way is it did for the xda2, just a different at%security string.
some one needs to have a look at the radio rom, and figure it out.

I had to wait one day but I got the code
I actually told them in my email that I wanted to use Windows Phone 7 on HD2 and if it was ok with them to send me a key. I didnt want to lie and would have stayed on Android if it didnt work.
A day later I got a key.
result
Just tested and wait...
MS must give us quickly, because Android is really perfect on HD2 now
If Microsoft wanted they could've stopped giving out codes. But I'm pretty sure Microsoft is more than happy to have Windows Phone 7 gain a considerable amount of Userbase!
For them, at this stage its all about increasing the Userbase than trying to stop people form using WP7.

Hi,
I lived in Thailand and I've tried various method call or live chat. Some how MS detected that I'm in Thailand and refused to send me the activation key.
They've told me to call MS in Thailand, so I did and it was a maze to finally get through and at the end they dont have a key generator for the activation and advice me to go to the shop that I bought the phone and get it through there...
I dont think i can do that since I have a HD2 running WM7..
I've been trying frustratingly to get one and I have no hope in this Country..
could someone shed some light and PM me a spare activation key?
Thank you in advance
I could help you out.
Just give me the info MS asks for and I'll get you a key from the US.
In a PM of course

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.
greetz, pronor

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.
