Orange UK did a double lock, you can buy the unlock code from Orange (20£+10 days)

sir i have code already but i have that problem.
If your phone status still on "unlocking sim" it's probably not the code from Orange but an HTC one (it doesn't work with the Orange firmware).

For anyone else considering it, I called Orange last Friday to unlock my M5000. They charged me £20 which will go on my next bill.
I called last night asking if a letter had been sent yet, and while it was sent Tuesday, it obviously caught up in the Xmas rush. So an operator there just gave me the code over the phone.
Its a simple procedure, just start up the M5000 with a NON-Orange SIM inside, and after the pin unlock (if you have it), a window pops up saying phone is sim locked with an area to type something. You enter the code Orange give you and press OK, then repeat this again, and its done!
The £20 will easily be saved by the ability to put in Foreign SIMs when I go travelling.
Hope this is of help

hi vincexda, is the pin the same for every m5000?
I own a swiss orange m5000 but they don't unloack here for money. do you maybe have uk's orange number - so I can call and try my best?
thanx.
Hi there,
Sorry I've been away for the Xams / New year break.....hence the late reply.
The pin they gave me is apparently linked to the IMEI number, but you can try orange uk on +44 7973 100 150 , I guess its worth a try!
SPV M5000 now unlocked
Hi all,

Orange ROMs lock more than the basic phone functions. I unlocked my Tytn II's SIM (Orange France) and I can now make and receive calls with another provider's SIM card. Several orther functions, however, remain lock because descending lists offer only Orange as a choice. I suppose one has to get rid of the Orange ROM and use either the official HTC one or one of the bette cooked ROM.

Hi,
Yeap i agree, i need to replace the ROM by the the original one or "Dutty's 1.8" i think...It does the same job, but for the simlock?Do i have to enter a code from vodafone? I have tried 0000 or 000000 or 00000000 and none of them are working Have any idea?
You have to get the code..aka buy it from htccode.com

Hi Lugi93,
I have paid already someone from ebay for the unlock code and he has provided me the Network unlock code so i have already unlocked the "network lock" but now the phone is asking me for the "Simlock code" and that is my basic problem.
Let me know,
Cheers,
I
Found the solution
I have found the solution via "wirelessadvisors" on ebay and unlocked my hTC.
Thanks guys anyway for your suggestions.
any answer to this i got the same problem unlocked with code now asking for service provider code tryed 234-33 but no luck any one can help thanks
i just put in my unlock code for my o2 which was accepted, and the next screen i get this.
where do i get this code, the o2 sim works fine in another phone and doesnt ask for a code.
phone was orginally locked on Orange.
I have just bought a HTC HERO that is locked to Orage from a friend yesterday, I trusted him so I didn't bother trying to see if it works on an Orange simcard. Anyways I took it to a phone shop to unlock it and the guy said i should come back the next day to get it. The next day he said he couldn't unlock it.
When I put an Orange simcard it just say "Emergency Call Only" on the top bar but when I put a different simcard it ask for unlock code. So does this mean the phone is blocked or could the unlock guy have messed with something?
Thanks for your response.
First I would confirm if it is actually locked to Orange, when you put and Orange sim in does it ask you for a code (simlock code)? If so put it in and see if you can get registered on the network, if that doesn't work try sims from different networks until you find which network it is locked to.
I have a ht hero originally on orange, unlock codes you can purchase do work on the modaco 2.8 rom.
The emergency service is something i was getting and still do from time to time very annoying. I have found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579606 works.

Thanks for you response. I am sure it locked to Orange because when I try other simcards it ask for unlock code. But when i put Orange it says "No Service"

Go here https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form
Fill in your IMEI number and submit, they will respond to you within 24 hours, but with this bank holiday, it will only be sometime next week. They will send you an email with a 16-digit unlock code.
Be vary careful not to piss about with the unlock code on that screen that appears when you insert another sim card as after 3 failed attempts it locks your phone permanently and then you are screwed. ...like I did. ;-)
Instructions once you have the code is as follows:
- Power on device with a non O2 UK SIM card
- The device shows: "SIM network unlock PIN"
- Enter the unlock code (NCK) for the network lock and press "Unlock"
- Device will pop up a message "Network unlock successful"
If you have already entered a wrong code too many times the phone gets locked permanently. Then again, you are part of the xda community so help is always at hand. You can have your bootloader setpoint-unlocked by a guy here on the forums for 15 quid. Just drop Jinx13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4002805 a pm and scope out his website. I made use of his services and can vouch for him.
http://phoneunlockserver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7-guide-all-xperia-bootloader-unlock-unlock-sim-enable-fastboot/
Hope this helps! ;-)
PS. Even though your sim will then be unlocked to all networks your bootloader will not be, which will limit your future options, so go for it, you know you want to....

thnx for all the replies cheers

Hi, I have the same phone with o2 uk and I just rang them up and told them I needed to unlock my phone as I go to Germany a lot and use a different sim card. The guy said no problem and that a code would be sent within a few days and it was free. The code came the next day in a text message and now the phone is sim free. Hope this helps. Lee
