[Q] Unlock Motorola Flipout

I've got a Motorola Flipout locked to Orange UK. I tried everything to get it unlocked but without success. I tried several unlock code services but their codes all didn't work. Then I bought a X-SIM IV unlock sim-card which is placed between the sim-card and the phone. The phone then didn't ask for an unlock code but I could not register anymore into the network.
Is there any other solution to unlock the phone? Maybe there is a software solution like for the Samsung Galaxy S?

I searched around some for you, and all I found was sites where you'd have to pay about $10 to get a code... not sure if there is any other way right now
I've tried two companies who've both given me the same unlock codes which don't work!! not good! Will report back if I find a solution.

Glad you posted this, I'm thinking about getting the flipout from orange uk but I want to use my t mobile sim. What have orange said about an unlock code for it?
Orange wants you to be a customer for at least 3 month to get an unlock code from them (see help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/474187).

Wow. 3 months is a long wait. I might have to consider buying a sim free handset.
The unlock code companies on the internet usually get a new database on a regular basis (not sure how regular) to accommodate new handsets it could be worth emailing them to see when a working code may be available.
any luck on finding a service to unlock this phone yet
every site i find seems dodgy

i need to get this unlocked just bought one from orange they gave me £30 discount as i am a payandgo customer already £149,99 with the topup all in.
Ive tried two methods
1) requesting codes (two of) from World-unlock.net
2) taking it to a shop in Coventry (UK)
Neither have worked
Still looking around
has anyone tried direct motorola codes?
Has anyone tried this one yet http://www.foneszone.co.uk/unlock_form/Motorola/Flipout.php

Yes, foneszone.co.uk was the first I tried but the code they sent didn't work.

Snap they just sent me a email saying that they couldnt even find the code so getting a refund. orange are useless they wanted me to wait three months before i can unlock even thogh i have been a loyail customer for many years and the sales person was a stuborn .anker. oh well the search goes on for a working unlock.
Just seen this on ebay gonna give it a try got nothing to loose £2.99
MOD EDIT: Ebay Links
UPDATE this could be the unlocking code we have been looking for still waiting for code but it looks promising and it is a new item on ebay for the flipout they know there is a demand for this phone to be unlocked its cheap enough i will report back as to if it works as soon as i recieve the unlock code.

I actually got an ismart sim and carefully filed the chip down to slip into the sim slot but still too big to fit inthere
Can you kindly PM me the ebay link as I cannot follow it from your posting.
Many thanks
firsy sorry mods for posting ebay link should of known better and second it doesnt work motorola dont have the updated codes yet they will let me know when they do and i will let people know here so at the moment there is no way to unlock still.
spotted this unlock solution on the bay Item number: 230552565930

unlock wildfire for free ?

hi guys
iv just bought a wildfire and it locked for 3 mobile UK
can i unlock it for free ??
by the way i am not in the UK any more and i need ti unlock it as fast as passable
thnx
1-) Root the phone by unrevoked. Just go to their site, http://unrevoked.com. Just do a search on the forums for more info.
2-) create a goldcard. you can do it manually. Search for the manual way as there are many posts on that.
3-) Download a wwe rom for your wildfire.Link to wwe rom http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz...189_signed.exe.
4-) Turn off your phone. Power your phone while holding volume down and power button. This will get you to the bootloader. Pick fast usb and start the RUU on your computer and let it install the new rom on your phone.
Hope this works for you.
I think he meant network unlock, not rooting/flashing.
Hi,
I too have a new HTC wildfire network locked to Vodafone UK. I need to use another service provider sim in this phone. Can someone help me unlocking this? I know vodafone can unlock this for 20 pounds, but can this be done without spending so much?
Thanks
Goldcard + Official RUU = Unlocked/Unbranded wildfire?
Hi there,guys! I tried to unlock my phone with advice put above, step by step...but my phone is still locked....
Anyone has succed?
Debranding is NOT the same as unlocking.
So, guys, as i see, there is no way to unlock wildfire, just by flashing it. I'm right?
Maybe there is some flash to comletly remove the locking state?! (network lock)
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Best regards.
There is not any free way to unlock Wildfire. You have to get an unlocking code and put it into your phone.
Contact your carrier as they may offer free or cheap unlocking

i just got a 3 branded wildfire, i take it the only to unlock it is via imei number unlock code?
is there any free way of doing it and if not is there any cheap relible place to get it unlocked?
cheapest i found is £20.99
thanks
i just found a local guy who unlocked it for me for about 35$
not cheap but at least it works
thanks
is it possible to do it free? if not anyonw knows a cheaper alternative?
i,m based in UK
the cheapest i have found:
http://www.htcsimunlock.com/htc-sim-unlock.html
15 dollars
so , there actually isn't any way to get the code for free?? i've heard that some guy unlocked his ZTE Racer for free in like five minutes... why should this be any harder... bloody code! i've spent last two days searching the web for it... and i couldn't find the free one...
P.S. I'm from Serbia, so i can't use PayPal, and stuff like that... not any time soon...
but in stores, here in Belgrade, they want 30-35 euros, for a freakin' unlock code! it's nuts!

Ni kod babe nema dzabe , if 30€ is too much for you (obviously it is) then go for 16$ on htcsimunlock web site. If PayPal doesn't work for you you have alternative ways of payment there: CREDIT CARD online now, CREDIT CARD by FAX, CREDIT CARD by PHONE, CHECK/CHEQUE with Proforma Invoice.
There is no public open way of doing unlock for free for HTC Widfire so far and you have two choices: keep it locked on current provider or pay for unlocking.
There is a free method for the Desire. Im saying there problably is a way to do it but noone has found it yet.
This is for desire but works for wildfire too

[Q] SIM Unlocking HD2 T-Mobile

Just a thread, does anyone know where I can get a HD2 unlock for free. As I'm sure there is none that exists, does anyone where I can get the unlock code for sub par $5. I tried looking everywhere and the cheapest I could find was $10
Thanks and post if you guys know
Free=No.
Under 5USD=No.
Seriously, spend 10 bucks. Like 8.99 on eBay is about the cheapest you are gonna find.

Just contact T-Mobile and tell them you need an unlock code cause you want to switch carriers but still use your HD2. Or heck tell them you bought it online and want to use it with another carrier. You can even tell them you are going over seas or out of ths country. Just tell them something I mean it is a device you paid for and you have the right to use what carrier you want you just have to get a unlock code from T-Mobile. And yes it is free from them.
You can get the codes from T-mobile who will give it free if you have a contract with them now. you can also get it from SuperUnlockCodes who give the codes very quickly. You need to place an order for these codes. Once the codes are available it will be sent to you along with the instruction. Following the instructions will help you unlock your mobile.

[Q] htc hero custom rom and unlock help?

hi all, ive been lurking this site for ages, and thought this would be a good place to start my first thread.
basically, i bought a second hand htc hero that is locked to 3 UK. its running android 2.1update1. basically, i would like it unlocked and a bonus would be to put another rom on there. i dont see why i should pay £20 odd to get it unlocked if i can do it free.
any advice/tutorials on how to do it? bearing in mind its 3 UK? i didnt know if different unlocks work on different networks on this phone. im a noob with android, i have this and my hd7 (which i love, just wish it werent so restricted lol)
any help would be great, i know this device is getting on a bit but i still think its a great phone and would love to be able to use on o2 uk and tesco uk.
thanks a bunch!

I've exhausted my research capabilities, including going to some 'less-desireable' websites known for their subversive abilities. I downloaded software capable of unlocking phones (probably 5 or 6 different ones), plus ADK Software to see if could could root through the sys files of the phone as if I was in regedit of my PC. Nothing, nada, zip, nathan, zero. I am going to give it to my friend with a VZW account and let them hook it up to her account. Then she can get the sim unlock from VZW and give the DP back to me.
I emailed these guys on ebay and other sites selling unlock codes for the DP but they can't gaurantee anything and no refund without video proof of their code not working. Too much of a hassle. I also found some codes (96853318 or 21289318) that they sold to someone, but they didn't work for me. Maybe they will for you.
I bought a T-Mobile Sim and a AT&T sim because they both operate on different frequencies and I want to make sure I have 3G if I use this phone at all. Tonight, I am going to root/rom my new AT&T Fusion with CM7.2 and use this until I get the DP back from my friend.
Other than that, I am going to apply for a NYS Pistol Permit. Just in case this DP cant be used as a phone, I can use it for target practice. Lmao.
Any luck on your end - please let me know. I have 2 DP's so if you figure something out, I still have another to play with.

Verizon has unlock codes for these devices that were manufactured in a certain time period that are not available on the Motorola server. That is why some are working and some are not. The unlockers all retrieve there codes from the same database so you will get the same results from any company our there,.
There allegedly is a person in China who figured out how to unlock these units at a certain point last year but the source and method was never revealed. Being that these units have dropped so much in price and availability they may not want to devote there time by sharing there solution with us although i'm sure a lot of us will make it worth there while..
The Atrix had a similar issue which was solved by flashing the radio a few times. I was hoping that there would have been a way to have this done on the D2G or DP as well.
The D2G and DP will both work on AT&T's 3G network while operating on EDGE 2G for TMO.
I like the old fashion method of placing the unit under my rear tire and putting the car in reverse. It's more cost effective and will save you bullets!
