Ok so I couldn't find an appropriate thread to put this in, so I got it to the closest spot I could find in the sony ericsson thread. I got a Sony Ericsson Walkman w580i from my sister and it is locked. Its an at&t phone and I just need to put a SIM card in there, but it says "unlock code" and gives the option to enter a code. This is unlikely, but is there a "universal" code for these type of things? Or does anybody know anything about these phones- is there a cable to sync it with a PC and go from there? Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

This is not the proper forum to ask this question. You need a SIM-unlock. Search google and you will probably find enough websites that can do this for you. A paid service ofcourse.
gsmhosting.com Nothing more. And use search button

Hi guys, I need some help !
First of all, I'm Software developer, where I'm working to make an automation for production in my company...
I need some software to read the IMEI and if is possible another informations from HTC phones....but the more important information is read the IMEI numbers, to store in our data-base to control the production !
If any know how to do / where have some software... let-me know !
Thanks in Advance.
Rodrigo.
Everyone here would love to help you out if you are able to start SIM Unlocking our phones.... so whatever we can help you out with, let us know.
I am not aware of any software that does what you're looking for, but I suggest you look up people in the Kaiser forum who have managed to SIM Unlock their phones in here as well as other phone forums have managed the same.
They may be able to give you the best guidance.
i dont know about software but *#06# tells it to you. tmobile has you do that to give it to them when you ask to unlock your phone. also if anyone needs unlock codes to help with the algorithms i have mine still, but will not post the ieme.
We should organize and find a way to Sim unlock these phones ...
I wonder what we would need ... if we can all get together, but one and send it to Pof or olipro or something... and get them to unlock it... or if we can dump the software off of it for them to look at.. any one have any ideas?
Hey
Just bought a HTC touch, locked to Orange network, and would love to unlock it for O2
I have looked at this Thread CLICK HERE
However user 'pof' is saying I need to unlock my touch in 'RAPI, which means nothing to me.
And looked at this Thread CLICK HERE which mentions nothing about RAPI or any other extra files I required
Any help would be great
(sorry if similar threads exist)

whatwhat101, you've found the good link but you are not reading !!! Rishi says to install first Cert_Spcs.cab and then EnableRapi.cab, these 2 progs are attached along with the Unlock at the bottom as attachments.
Good luck...

HTC touch pin problem
Hi Guys,
I bought a HTC touch. I got an unlock code through a software in this forum. My problem is that when I put a foreign sim card, it is asking me for some pin number. I am not really sure what that pin number is as I never set one.
Can you help me reset it to some default number.
What is the defualt number for HTC touch. I should try that too.
Cheers

If you unlock it then kiss goodbye to any warranty from Orange. And if you **** up the unlock you will have an expensive little useless object of art.
Mine is on Orange and I think orange is great but now I have changed my white case to black my warranty has gone but I am still not tempted to unlock it, too risky for me.
Hi guys i am very new on this subject and i just need some info about unlocking my wildfire.
I read quite a few post but i didn't found something step by step and finally to work.
So basically i just need to unlock my phone from the network(vodafone)so i can use it in other networks.
So what is the best solution:
1.Gold card
2.Unrevoked
3.ROM FLASHING GUIDE FOR NOOBs(if it works).
Thanks and sorry for opening a new thread even if so much information can be found on this site.
A quick walkthrough would be much apreciated for a solution.
Well I have done all the steps you pointed out and I'm still locked to t-mobile so I guess gold card, root and flash is not enough to unlock it but only to debrand your phone.

You cannot unlock a phone with the code from the provider or unlocker

I typo'd there I meant without. =P
Thanks for your feedback it seems i don't have other choice but this. Except HTCsimUnlock you now other trusty sites so i can get a sim code .
I tried htcsimunlock.com but they said they couldn't unlock it for 20$ what I have paid already,so I should pay them another 20$ and then they maybe can unlock it...I sayd no, they refunded my money. So it wasn't such a good experience for me.
Well as far as i know a lot of ppl are facing problems getting codes from htccodes.com and htcsimunlock.com just for everyone's info..
SIM UNLOCK IS NOT DEBRANDING, ROOTING, GOLDCARD.. Its an entirely different thing so do not confuse these things..and one should use Sim Unlocker / Code generator for the same which is not yet available for wildfire ..
I got one from mobileunlocked.co.uk it wasn't cheap at £23.50 but I couldn't find anyone else who could do it. 3 or 4 dites said they could but I ended up getting refunded
Mine was locked to 3 and I needed Vodafone
If your phone is new, ie manufactured after the month of May, it will cost you more and many sites do not have access to this latest database.
How can you tell the manufacture date? a sticker on the phone?
Any chance of a free unlock code?

Htc wildfire great phone rooted and with psfreeedom great stuff but still locked.
I read some post on the samsung galaxyS and they have a aplication for android and works like this :
Step 1, Get the code:
Install the app below. When you run the app, it will search for the unlock and unfreeze codes on your phone.
After it aquires the codes, they will be saved to your sd card in a text file. You can also write them down or email them to yourself with the email button.
Step 2, Enter code:
Power down the phone
Put in a SIM card from another carrier
Power up the phone When it boots up enter the unlock code when asked
Very simple i really hope that someone can help us with something like this for wildfire.

What application? Below?
Those steps were only a example of how the application works ,the orginal thread you can find here:
h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
the app is exclusively for Samsung. Tried it on the wildfire but nothing. will search more deep for a free unlock solution
I am not sure it work, this app specialy for samsung ...
At htcsimunlock.com it states:
MPORTANT – Please read prior to purchasing any codes.
You must first check to see if your phone accepts an unlock code. To do this simply insert a different network sim card into your mobile phone and see if the unlock code screen is displayed. If a screen where you must enter the unlock code is not displayd, or if you don't have this option in your phone menu, please do NOT purchase an unlock code. If you still go ahead and order then we will provide you with the unlock code but you will NOT be able to enter it and you will NOT be eligible for a refund.

My phone doesn't even give me the option to enter the unlock code. Any ideas?
I have been trying to get a handset network unlocked that I bought last week. None of the online services I have tried have been able to provide a code and have therefore refunded me.
Any suggestions?

hello, long time i dont came to this site but here i am again for some help if possible "hope im not breaking any of the foruns rule".
The thing is, i saw someone on the forum talk about Cellphoneunlocker website to unlock the phone, so i went there and paid for the service... they sent me those spam mails to check the imei and such and that S/N thing but since i couldnt type what they asked (To find the KBH (S/N) just press : >*<<*<* (right arrow, star, left arrow, left arrow, star, left arrow, star), so i removed the battery and there it was.
Sent it but im already waiting for 2 weeks, i even tried to contact via online chat but was online on that window for (lol) 9 hours and still nothing, typed on the testimonials thing and they didnt even posted my comment "and no i wasnt using any rude words but i wanted "
Anyway i wanted to know if theres any other website TRUSTABLE for that matter, and if i get a unlock code from that website... does my phone bricks after an update or thats just for bootlock ?
thx
regards.
BUMP! ---->Xperia NEO <----, locked to the network TMN from Portugal, also looking for some safe place to unlock the phone. Please, PLEASE, help :S
Got the unlock code after like a week or so after i posted here... but man, they take ages atleast for xperia play.
Guess you can trust them, but you will have to wait for it like ages, try to contact them first by email or live chat.
Hello, like several people on this forum, i got the Galaxy Grand Prime S920L variant (Straight Talk/Tracfone).
As you know, only the stock kernel and stock recovery have been posted so far.
I'm willing to donate a little to someone able to provide the files & steps to unlock this device so that it accepts Sim from other companies. So if anyone can help or point me towards the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. :highfive:
Just a thought....If your on Straight Talk, call the toll free number (you will NOT have to talk to any real person doing this) transfer your SIM card to the T-Mobile or AT&T card variant and then you should have an Unlocked SM-S920L. Let me know if this helps.
That won't work.
Thanks for the suggestion fellas. I need proper unlocking though because i need to be able to use a mexican company sim (such as Telcel or Movistar). So if any developer out there is reading, im still willing to donate a little to anyone who can help me unlock this phone. Cheers!
you cant simply just unlock the sim card with a nsap of your fingers, and honestly, straight talkj is pretty strict about it... you ll have to look at the unlocking policy located on the bottom of their website..
must have phone on service for 12 months or more
must not been filed as lost or stolen
etc
etc
etc
whatever it says...
I know we cant just unlock with a finger snap, that's why we are here on XDADevelopers. We also know about their terms & conditions, but again, thats why im requesting the useful help of of XDADevelopers, thank you.
i doubt there would be a way to bypass the carriers systems to unlock the sim card..... it think you would have to hack their databases and allow an unlock on your #
ACTUALLY, there is a way to unlock the device that doesn't go anywhere near hacking a corporate database and is truly closer to a finger snap. It requires the use of dialer codes, service program menu editing and the MSL/SPC code. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the specific steps, which is why I'm searching this forum today. I hope the writer of this post has found a solution and I apologize profusely for not being able to relay more information. I just had to stop the influx of ignorance in this thread. FYI folks: people come here for answers and information, not for your erroneous assumptions. K?
