Hello!
This is my first post on this forum, so I would like to greet everyone first!!!
Now, here's something about unlocking Magician ... AFAIK impossible up to date (is someone working on this yet?). But I have discovered a possible way how to do it and I'm interested if it is possible:
I came across an information, that the unlock code consists of 8 digits. So, there are 100 million possible combinations of the code. And one way of unlocking qtek devices is connecting to the wireless modem and entering following command: AT%HTCLOCK=0,code,1
So, I guess it is possible to write an application, that would automatically enter codes from 00000000 to 99999999 via AT commands. And because this application would enter codes without user interface (=a box that pops up on the screen when a false SIM card is entered), I guess Magician won't lock itself after receiving several false codes. So, all we have to do is to wait for the right code to be entered!!!! :idea:
What do you think about it? It could be a job, that takes days, but the reward would be amazing - an unlocked fone without loosing the warranty!! :shock: 8)
greets!
i am not familiar on how the unlock code is entered.
but i do think the unlock code has a distinct tie to the imei. maybe a formula of some sort. if someone had about 10 imei codes and the corresponding unlock code, you could try to solve it with a matrix equasion.
but i have no idea at all of this, so it could be just bullcrap
btw let say we can input about (i am being very positive) 2 codes a sec. tha would mean you have to be running it continiously for 570 days, even if you could do 10 a sec it would take months, only when you have about 100 inputs a sec it could be reasonable. (if your code is 99999999)
570 days??? :shock: :shock: :shock:
and I hoped it could be done in one night! :roll: so I guess we still have to wait for clever ppl to develop a working unlock solution.....
btw. I found two codes with corresponding IMEI's on german forum. Maybe it helps someone...
IMEI:354819000715529 -- Unlock Code:19056320
IMEI:354819000715180 -- Unlock Code:84212434

greetz!
is there a way to overwrite the imei of the mda compact???????
errrr ... small glitch ... I believe the actually Magician locks up forgood after three incorrect codes ...
When i boot up the phone, it shows the please input your pin code thing..but then continues booting anyways? It used to allow me to put my pin code in first? Whats going on, and how do i fix it so it allows me to put in the pin before it boots?!
Same problem here.
Me too.
The quick and dirty fix I found is to remove the PIN request and set a phone lock code instead. The phone will always wait for the lock code on startup. The good thing with this is it locks the phone without regards to what SIM card you use. (You can call you SP and request a SIM card disable, right, but not a phone lock)
You can set a timeout for the lock. Additionally, whenever you connect the phone to a new computer it will lock the phone. Good anti-theft mechanism, but I'm sure it's easy to remove if you really want to.
I think it's a generic problem on this phone. I just push the call button again to get the PIN dialog up once more.
sad to hear this is a common problem as it poses a security threat..unless you take other measures. but inputting 2 passwords is quite annoying..ill just wait i guess... does anyone else have problems also that when on 3G the phone appears switched off if someone were to call and it doesnt connect properly?
Hi All

I just purchased HTC Cingular 8525 and was told that it was unlocked. Well it is unlocked to the sim card that it arrived to me with, but when I put my sim card (from different carrier) in it, it asked for the pass code. Being an idiot to all of this, I started trying to put the number in that would unlock my old phone.
After a lot of searching, I found that I only have so many tries to unlock and then it is bricked. Okay, my screen says "you have tried 5 times, please wait until timeout". Does that mean that I have bricked it? I paid for someone to give me the code but the screen still says the above. There is a box for entering the code and the curser is flashing and it will allow me to input the number, but when I press enter nothing changes.
Is it bricked or just still locked? What can I do to fix this? Please help an idiot before I pull any more of my hair out on this.
Thanks,
Dona
Not bricked at all. Just locked, you will need the PUK code to unlock it probably.
Contact your carrier (Orange, O2 etc) and ask them for your PUK code

You will have to call your carrier. Be carefull because if you enter the wrong code to many times, you'll fry the sim card. So, if you cant get the puk code from the carrier, you'll have to replace the sim.
Just so ya know, the PUK code is relative to the sim card security. It just means what it's been asking for is YOUR pin code that you would at some time have applied to your sim card to secure it from prying eyes. Any phone you put your sim card in should ask for it each time the phone is turned on.
The other code that is a possibility here is if the previous owner of the HTC entered a security code to prevent other sim cards being used in their phone. It may be worth contacting the person you got the phone off and asking them for the PHONE security code they would have set.
I must say that it seems unusual for a second hand phone to be sold with an old sim still in it. The sim card is the previous owners personal account so any info left on it might also be available for you to access. I'd certainly not sell a phone without making sure the old personal data had been removed (including the sim, even if it was no longer activated).
my 8525 needed an eight digit number my code number was four digits So four 0's in front of it did the trick

Help me please...
I couldn't find the answer to this problem on this forum, but found it elsewhere.
Therefore I figured I'd repost it here.
The problem I had was the phone got PUCK code locked. I think it rebooted while in my pocket, so my pocket inserted a faulty pin code 3 times (I was on a bicycle...)
My operator gave me the PUCK code on their web site, but there wasn't an obvious place to type it in.
Here is how to solve it:
Press the button to make an emergency call, and then type in:
**05*<PUK Code>*<enter a new pin>*<confirm the new pin>#
For me, it didn't matter that the new pin was the same as the old one. That unlocked the phone and all was well again.
