Hi
I purchased an Omnia 7 from ebay today which is locked to T-Mobile. I want to know that from where can I get it unlocked and for how much. I would like to use it on O2.
Thanks

There hardly is any branding. A startup-picture and some web favourites inside the browser that you can delete, maybe a provider-specific app. No hardware branding at all.
But if you mean the SIM lock to one provider than that's what is discussed in this thread.

I know the difference between a software/hardware branding and a sim unlock. I was specially talking about the provider specific startup picture. Everything else is easy removable Any way to remove that one ?

Oh, okay...no sorry, I don't have any idea how to get rid of this picture.
After all, you won't see it very often

Has anyone tested this? I tried but software doesn't load properly.
Or is it illegal? I have no idea as i've never done anykind of unlocking/modding before.
That was hardware based tool. You need a SPT Box (which cost arround 200EUR).
Paid unlock details removed - refer to the forum rules please.
I am in a similar situation with a phone locked to Three (in the UK).
I have tried SPT but it won't load with a "Smart card resource manager is not running" error.
The link in the second post no longer goes to anywhere.
To anyone who has the phone unlocked: how did you get it done?
Yes, the link in first post is down :-/
it would be nice if somebody can post this unlocking method.
New link here:

HELP!
I just bought OMNIA 7 at Three store in UK, but noone in London knows how to unlock it... ;-(
I tried links posted in earlier posts but they're all dead.
Can anyone help me please?
I have unlocked mine via this Ebay seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-Samsung-Focus-i917-Omnia7-Galaxy-Tab-by-CODE_W0QQitemZ140482107888QQihZ004QQcategoryZ42428QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ht_1960wt_881. Ordered late Friday evening, got code following morning.

Has any one tried flashing the samsung omnia 7 with device image available.
Please share your experience.
Oh no.... I also bought an Omnia 7 with 3 Austria lock. Can someone plz tell me how I can can unlock it. It s important i have the phone now but I can´t phone or sms with it, that sucks... Is that Ebay Link only for T-Mobile and At&T ? But in the description is sayed that it s for all european carriers ? So can i unlock my 3 Austria phone with this Ebay Link ? Are t-Mobile an AT&T only Examples ?
Thx for your help
I think you will be OK. Reading some of the feedback it would appear that 3 ,Orange and T-Mobile phones can all be unlocked.Why not send him a message and ask him specifically about 3 Austria.
I used this bay seller and i got the code back the same day and it worked fine.
My only problem now is that i can't get the internet to work? Calling and messaging is fine. I understand that MMS doesnt work but i cant open an explorer page or anything. I tried some different APN setting but still no luck.
Does anyone have any tips?
I unlocked my phone from t-mobile EU and trying to use UK Vodafone.
Thanks!
I found my own solution! If anyone else need them, the APN settings for Vodafone are..
APN: internet
Username: Web
Password: Web
Hey,
I just got a short question. I read some threads but couldn't find the correct answer.
I am not able to get an activation code here in my region. No way, nor email, nor chat, nor phone... if it works they ask for imei!
So reading through some threads and using google I found WP7 Desktop Marketplace. Now i'm downloading all the application from the desktop marketplace and install them to my phone.
So my question, are there the same apps than in the marketplace on the phone? Whats the difference?
So in this case i wouldn't need an activation code because I can install apps from the desktop market?
thank you
EDIT: in fact the major question is, if both are the same? Or why everybody aks for an actionvation code if they could also do it this way?
Hello friends!
I was prepared to drop a couple of D's get me a unlocked, sim-free Omnia 7 when I came across a little tidbit in some obscure forum; Marketplace is not available for all regions in the world!
Can someone confirm this please? I live in the Middle East - Dubai, to be more precise; and while the phone touches all the important bases, I am a little reluctant spending such a huge amount if it will be crippled.
Is there anyway to bypass or rectify the this problem - like selecting a different region or jailbreaking (chevron) it?
Thanks for all your help

Its ok, since it would be best to get hooked up in a marketplace full of updated apps and new submissions. get the omnia7, set up a US based live account, set you pc's system locale to US (for zune and music artist background to work) and then setup your brand new Omnia7!
If you don't want these changes, you might not be able to maximize WP7 and might not enjoy it.
Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for the reply!
Just to make sure I got it right; set up a new Windows Live Account - US based. Change the Location to US in the Control Panel.
... Do I need to change... say the time zone selected also???
All this before I install Zune, correct?
Anything else I should know?
I am guessing I can add my actual Gmail and Hotmail accounts later on in the phone? Sorry, This will be my first Windows Phone 7 phone, so I am a little leery about everything.
Does Zune installation require mandatory credit card details at any step? You know, for age verification or some such? (To date, I have never installed Zune in my PC so I am a somewhat iffy on things). Will that cause problems with my Location?
Lastly, I have to ask about is it worth it to root/jailbreak your WP7 phone? I mean what "awesome" feature does it unlock for you. I will be buying a phone without warranty anyway, so I there is some benefit it then I guess I can use the Chevron method before updating it...
Any more thought on this matter is quite welcome. I guess am a little nervous on spending so much money for this phone without any return option, so I want to make sure that everything will work out alright.

Hello friends,
I have read something about Bing Scout, i wanted to use this feature in Mexico, however, it seems its still not functional on there, still and when my DVP is in English US in region+language, it only work in US territory,
I remember that the first time i updated to Mango, it gave me results, was working, i never give enough importance because i didnt know at all this, but now would be cool to use it on there...
Does anybody know if there are other parameters to activate or change, moreover, language to US or UK ?
Thanks
Hey.
Just installed the DFT Freedom Rom and it works like a dream and I finally got my phone to look like I want it to look like .
But Now I'm missing the podcasts(marketplace). Whats up with that?
Sorry about starting a new thread, but the dumb XDA limitations limit me from asking in the actual thread.
Is it possible that it is my country? My account is in finland, I live in switzerland and I believe the marketplace was set to USA earlier(I dont have an USA account), dont ask me how.
Whats the easiest way to Change your marketplace settings?
