read abt HardSPL in the ROM section?? will it unlock my phone??
Hi. There are loads of sites selling unlocking codes, but be carefull, most are scams. I spent ages researching this and found these guys.
http://jade.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Touch-3G/
You will need a paypal account. They say they email you, but didnt, however on their tracking system i found my code waiting for me. Worked a treat. Now i'm on the 3 network.

thanks for the reply..
but, ain't there a free alternative... like in this forum many guys have unlocked their jade themselves...
15 quid shouldnt break the bank..
hi,
I've a HTC 3G T3232 & want to unlock it.
I've the unlock code with me but unable to unlock it myself manually.
Do I require specific software to unlock the phone or can it be done without it?
When I put a O2 SIM in it (its locked to Orange) - it does'nt seem to detect it and shows a "No SIM" message.
The phone works fine with a Orange SIM, though.
..pls help !! I'm

oh man, If you read it properly it clearly says IT WONT UNLOCK YOU PHONES TO OTHER NETWORKS, so it means NO sim free unlocking.
You need to buy unlocking code and do it urself.
bought it long back... thanx to olinex
on Ebay unlock code cost £5.35
if anyone know, please tell me how many attempts allowed does the x10 have to unlock the phone? can the x10 be blocked due to the use of limited attempts for entering nck code? does the x10 have an unlock counter? and how to know if the attempts are already over ?
please someone help
On other mobiles the limit is like 10 times... after which the unit needs to be serviced in-order to be reactivate for normal uses.
Unfortunately I received the wrong unlock code and I was stupid (well, I thought I had 10 tries) and now my X10 is blocked
It was already blocked after 5 wrong tries.
So is there anything I can do except going to the operator who locked the phone? I don't know if there's an unlock counter and if there is any way to reset it?
Have you tried doing a seus repair?
no, I'm not really familiar with SEUS... is there any danger? can I loose my warranty?
UPDATE: I just did the SEUS, but it's still blocked any other ideas?
what is the message that you have when you enetres wrong code .. how did you know that the x10 is alrready blocked?
because im already in the same situation as you, i think i have entered the code more than 5 times but i dont know if its blocked because the window where i should put the code is always here and i can put again a new code ..
so are things with you are same.?
Do u still have this little window for puttin code, or dou receive a special message that tell you that u have used all your attempts?
well, the exact message won't help you, because it's german
but it says something like "sim locked. contact operator"
and the first 5 times it just said "wrong sim-unlock code" or something like that...
And yes, I can still and always put in a code, but the response is always the same.
Furthermore, I think you can see in the service menu under the option "sim lock" how many attempts you have, but I'm not sure about that...
and I know that it is locked, because I already got the right unlock code (directly from the operator who locked my xperia, so I'm pretty sure it's not wrong) and it is still not working...
So is there anything left I can do, especially when having the right unlock code or do I have to bring my xperia to the operator and pay a lot of money (I suppose)?
ohhh ..same as me sim locked please contact operator... what should we do now????
please anyone help us .. with cable or toolbox solution?
is there any cable solution?can the flash reset the counter? or can we input the right code by cable .??? please someone help
well, I've tried a lot, looked around a lot but the xperia seems to be smarter than all the other (older) phones... I've found no way to reset the counter
I re-installed the xperia using SEUS, I debranded the phone, I used different SIMs, I tried solutions which worked with other phones (for example enter the unlock code and wait with the phone switched on for the counter to reset itself) but nothing helped.
The last thing I am trying now is to take out the battery for 24 hours or more, but I'm not really expecting that this will help...
Well, it's a pity, but I think the only way left is to bring the xperia to the operator, cause I don't want to loose my warranty by modifying the phone's software in any way
the problem is that i imported my phone from france and i cant use it in my country until i unlock it ...and also there is no orange operator here in tunisia ....
Well, that sucks... I can't use my phone at the moment either cause I am using another operator. But I will take the phone to the operator who locked it next week, unless someone here will be my hero and offer me another solution
And one more thing: I debranded the phone... in case I bring it to the operator, should I rebrand it? And if so, how can I do that? Thanks!
yeah it should be branded to the operator firmware
Finally mine is unlocked ))
Have you found any solution for your X10, doudeche?
yeah i already unlocked it yesterday, i gave it to a genious that unlocked to me by cable he sad that the solution is not available for public but i dont know how he unlocked my phone anyway my phone is working like a charm....but i think that i will buy htc desire and sell the x10.
and u how did u do to unlock yours?
I brought it to the operator who locked the phone in the first place and they did that
A friend of mine has an x10 by vodafone. He recently bought it from their store. He also bought a unlockcode by vodafone (legal). So good, so far!
BUT - when he entered another simcard in the phone to start the unlockprocedure - he put in the pincode instead of the unlockcode. (he is not that technical). After 5 times of trying the phone is now locked for unlocking. One says the phone has now to be unlocked by software meyhod and can not be unlocked by code anymore.
Softwaremethod is not available. Can someone give me any advise how to handle to get the option back to put in the unlockcode again?!
flashing? anything else?
Take it back to the store and get them to do it, if they can't use a simple unlock code then I can't see them being any good with a software method.
sounds like its been accidentally locked you need a PUK key to unlock it ....(if its not stolen..not saying it is!) then the service provider should supply this PUK override code to allow you to change it to a more easiky remembered code

It sucks to see people having problems with unlocking their phones...but wait! here's you're lucky day Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731240&page=4 and go to post #38 and you'll find the answer. I was one of them who got the phone for a week, tried almost all of the online remote unlocking services and didn't work, bought the manufacturer's code and entered it too many times that the phone counter-blocked itself. Anyway...long story short, I was able to unlock my phone with HTCCode.com. I don't have anything to do with their website, but they were the only place that could unlock my phone, and trust me I had three other buddies from this forum that had the same problem but unlocked the phone with them. If you have any problems, pm and I'll try to help. You should read the thread I sent you first and you'll understand, but if you can't wait, click on the link on post #38 and talk to HTCCode directly. They are friendly and very helpful. Good luck buddy, give me feedback too
Hello Guys!
Let me introduce shortly myself:
My Names Christian and the last Years i used very satisfied Symbian.
From my Carrier i got gifted an Sony X8 wich i wanted to try out. I liked Android then so much that I'm reading here on the forum now very interessted for two weeks. So my decicion was clear: I need an HD2, because there I can also have Android
I bought yesterday one used with a Sim Lock for 3 Hutchinson, Austria.
At first i was surprised that most of the code unlocker sites can't unlock this model. And then, when i put my tele.ring Sim Card in, i was more suprised. The HD2 says that the unlock code had entered 3 times and I need now to wait for the timeout...
Now i know why the seller also gave a Rebel Sim II with the HTC....
This Rebel Sim is now working proberly with my HD2 and my telering Sim but I dont like this, because it's not a clean solution...
So is there still a way to unlock my HD2 in a code /software / hardware matter?
I've been searching the forum yesterday for 3 hours, but I didn't get a solution for my problem... When I have not seen it, I'm sorry for anoying you guys.
This forum is great, you are doing perfect jobs
Are you sure that you have Sim lock exactly? it's seems that you have an operator lock.
Ok, sorry that i was so inaccurate, for sure it's a lock to the carrier 3 in austria
same problem here. did you find a site with unlock codes for 3 AT?
only one i found is http://www.foneszone.co.uk but there are no trustable reviews
i have the same problem, anything new? Has anyone managed to unlock a phone from 3 at

Unlocking flipside by software
Has anybody figured out how to unlock moto flipside ... none of the codes work. Help guys !!!
hi... I've been trying to get my flipside mb508 unlocked... but no luck yet... I've tried many ebay vendors and other websites... all of them say that the code was not found. Somebody please find a way to unlock it by software
I have mine unlocked since I live in Canada and had no issues unlocking it.
here is the guy on ebay I purchased my unlock code from
http://myworld.ebay.ca/ageo111/&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754
yes call att and demand they give you the unlock code ive gotten unlock cokes for my last 4 phones directly from att free of charge all you need to do is ask and give them the ime number and request instructions for entering it.
unlocking via codes is the safe way to unlock your mobile..
Ok so I signed up on this forum just to post this solution:
If you feel like dealing with ATT: you can call them and request a network unlock (its FREE) but DON'T under any circumstance tell them you have an att account! If you tell them that, they will make you jump through hoops to unlock your phone. If you bought multiple phones, just call one person, unlock one phone, and call back to get a different person to unlock the other phone. Don't call one person and tell them you have two phones, because then they will ask you for both IEMI #'s from you, write them down in your notes, so when you call back you won't beable to receive the unlock code (they say only one unlock code is free per person). So if you have multiple phones, call them to unlock one phone, hang up, call back unlock the next phone.
If you don't like dealing with ATT:
I bought two of these phones(mb508) spent $17.99 each and unlocked them both from gsmliberty.com. It was a link some dude was advertising in the forums, I clicked it, it went straight to my phone (it had a picture of it) and I called the 1-800 number to see if I could actually talk to a human being, and I could, so I tried it and it actually worked for both of them. It was a network unlock for T-mobile.
and no I have no ties with gsmliberty, just letting everyone else know whose bought the same phones.
