Found that somewhere else on the net:
* First boot nyour phone without a sim
* Then type *7465625*638*unlock code#
* Your phone now should respond with a confirmation message.
Could not try myself, however, my i8000 still to arrive.

This code is unique for every device. Are you sure you know unlock code for YOUR i8000?

Is it possible to unlock the device at home (flashing?) Some online shops sell unlock codes for this device so it must be possible to get the code.

Hello:
I'm interested in to unlock OMNIA II flashing or searching code without purchase one.
Please, if anyone have information I agree that we know.
Thanks!!

Some people (for example, Samsung Customer Service Centres employees) may have access to service unlock code generators (or database). But I think nobody will share the code generation algorithm

I think it's impossible, at least yet.

Any unlocker sim tool for Samung Omnia II?

Has anyone used the following service? Any devices, not just Omnia II...
I am just wondering if they are legit....

Unlock your Omnia 2
I don't know where to get the unlock codes, but once you get one, you type the following string into your phone and it will allow you to input your unlock code:
#7465625*638*# - input it just as you see it, then a box will open asking you for your network key - 8 digits unlocking key. If you have the right key, your Omnia 2 will now be network unlocked. Most providers only have a network lock. If you want to see what is locked on your phone, type the following string and it will tell you what is locked on your Omnia 2:
*#7465625# - this will list the five locks and show you what is locked. As for the other locks, I can't tell you much, just google them and see what google tells you.

I want to buy this phone from Bell Canada. Before I buy it, I want to make sure than someone can unlock the phone.
Someone told me that
Go to the registry, HKCU\System\State\PHONE, and wrote down the first 6 digits of the value of the IMSI entry.
1. type *7465625*638*# to set
2. type the first 6 digits of the value of the IMSI entry here.
3. type your new NCK (12345678), then OK
3. type *#7465625# to check your lock (network lock still enabled)
4. type #7465625*638*# and type your NCK (12345678)
Please post here if you are success to unlock

bell canada can do it for you but at 70something dollars. you just call customer service and they get it done in a month.

leungda, i have a bell omnia II, but its not activated. anyways i checked that registry for the IMSI and there is no value. it says not active.

I did what you write, but it's not work...
if you want to try something else...

I also used the method of using IMSI to unlock Omnia 2 but it doesnt work for me though I have already used the same method to unlock Omnia i900 before and it worked well. My omnia i900 was locked to SFR France and now I have Omnia 2 that is also locked to SFR. But this IMSI method worked for me only with Omnia i900 not for Omnia 2.
Still waiting for some one who can give a breakthrough in unlocking Omnia 2.
. . . . please post the method if worked for you to unlock your omnia 2 . . . .

It didn't work on my Omnia 2, moreover, my registry hasn't an IMSI entry.

Was Bell able to provide unlock?
Did they provide one code or 2 codes?

This solutions works on i908, not sure if it works on i8000
You may try it, and let me know if it works or not.

Hi thanks for your help.
i tried using the files and method to unlock my omnia 2 i8000L
and when i enter the MCC/MNC and the 12345678 NCK
i get the message "you entered incorrect password or MCC/MNC".
I am positive i entered the correct values and i tried multiple times. but it didn't work i am on canada Bell network.
So if you have any other trick up your sleeve to help us unlock the phone let me know and i will try it.
thanks

Bell Omnia 2's require 2 unlock codes. They only provide after you've been subscribed for at least 1month and pay $70. There is no other unlock solution for Bell Omnia 2's. All other i8000 users can pay those online places for an unlock code.

Im so confused!

Ok, heres my problem. I have a Verizon XV6900. I am currently on a local CDMA carrier. How can I get my HTC to work on my network, my network excepts outside phones so I know they will do it. Ive read about the Coke unlocker but I am confsued. Does the unlocker make it so you can use the phone on any CDMA network or just so you can put custom ROMs to it? Thank you very much, ive done alot of reading but I just need some clarification. Thanks.

The coke unlocker is so you can install new/different ROMs on you device. What you really want to do is a full flash to your carrier. Who is your carrier? I might have some good pointers or even a tutorial I can point you too.

I have a local carrier called cellcom, theyre a local CDMA company.

I did a quick search and it seems like there is some sort of cellcom rom or something out there for the Vogue, so if you can find that, you shouldn't have an issue. I couldn't point you in the direction of that though, didn't find a download of any sort, just some random info.

Well that's a new one to me! But any way to flash over to them from Verizon you will need to gather some basic information like:
PRL files
MNC #
SID/NID #
activation number.
To get your web MMS working you will need to know other setting like HDr/ppp username and passwords. server names ports proxys, etc. Those you might need to get from cellcom.
There is alot of info that you can pull from a current handset if you have one and some that you will need to ask them for.
Here is a LINK for a tutorial I wrote for flashing the Vogue to cricket just replace all the cricket info with the cellcom info. If you have a question on the tutorial post it in that thread. I monitor it better then here.

From what ive read I can use an alltlell rom and it would work. Could someone tell me how to go about this so cellcom can activate it because I dont have any codes or anything. Thanks.

You can put an alltel ROM on it but you will still need some of the setting I mentioned above unless they are an alltel MVNO which would technically make them a Verizon MVNO now. But anyway here is a LINK to all the shipped ROMs for the Vogue I would start there with a shipped and then upgrade after you have it activated.
Be sure to unlock with coke unlocker first and follow all the instructions.

Well I previously had a razor that was from US Cellular and that worked fine and was activated perfectly but I read in my research that someone had a US Cellular Vogue and it wouldnt activate with cellcom. Is there a way I can just get the unlock code and then have them activate it without messing with the ROMs?

The easiest way to do it find out the PRL & activation code for the OTASP and see if it will program the PST automatically. If it will OTASP successfully you will have at least talk and text.
and it won't touch the ROM.
Your unlock code for a Verizon device will be 000000. F.Y.I.

Could you explain to me how to do that? Im sorry but im a complete newb.

The PRL file is going to be the hard part, I did a quick search and came up empty handed.
For the OTASP I would say call your carrier and ask for it. Most carriers are like *228, *2, *22804, etc, etc.
If you find out the important info I can tell you how to use it.

This site will give you a little bit of intell on PRL's SIDs MNC's and different info you will need. http://www.roamingzone.com/

Ok, I used the service menu and pulled some info out of my rumor. I have the PPPID, PPP Pass, SID, NID, and PRL. I guess the only thing im missing is the MNC and the OTASP number. Im gonna call cellcom in the morning for the OTASP number but does anyone know where I can find the MNC.

Pulled it from my last posted link
here it is Cellcom MNC 600
Now on your PRL you will need the file if you don't have it post your PRL number here and I'll see if I can help you locate it.

My PRL number is 10010. But I guess cellcom doesnt do over the air activation, I called and asked them, so whats my next step? I really really appreciate all the help your giving me on this. Its nice to find an online community that is actually helpful.

Well so now you will need to manually program it with all your gathered information. To do so you are going to access the PST program by dialing ##778# or ##778snd then it will bring up another window click on edit enter 6 0's. Frfom there find all the info that you will need to replace and replace it. As for a PRL file it is a scarce creature for cellcom. I would recommend asking them if they might be able to refer you to where to get it.

try this one it works for me!!!
I have got HTC P3050 (TELUS) I have got a procedure to unlock SPRINT TOUCH but anyone can tll me that it will work for TELUS TOUCH i want to use it in India it may be any network
here is the procedure:
I did this for my Sprint Touch. I am still using it in the USA but my phone has been modified to support other carriers with no problem.
The steps are simple:
Here is what you need to do:
1. Download GetSPC(attached below)
2. Unzip to desktop
3. Turn off phone and remove battery.
4. Write down your HEX ESN
5. Power your device back on
6. Connect via ActiveSync or WMDC
7. Copy entire folder to main memory on device.
8. Run GetSPC.exe
9. In the top box type in your HEX ESN(make sure caps is on)
10. Click generate or whatever the button is named
11. The resulting number should be a 6 digit number, your MSL, write it down.
12. Search for, download and install Qualcomm's QPST tool.(not freeware)
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY DANGEROUS SO MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.
13. Run QPST Configuration(run as admin if Vista)
14. From the Dialpad, dial ##3424#(##diag#)
15. Connect device to computer via USB(this will install drivers)
16. In QPST Configuration, click ports.
17. Continue to add ports until the QPST Configuration detects your phone
18. Under active phones it should display your phone.
19. Click Start Clients/Service Programming
20. Select phone and click ok.
DO NOT LEAVE FIRST TAB, THE SETTINGS TAB. THIS IS THE ONLY TAB WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE ANY SETTINGS
21. Under the settings tab, click Read from phone.
22. Input your MSL you got from GetSPC earlier.
23. Under codes where it says Service Programming, change this to 000000
24. Click Write to Phone
25. Wait 1 minute
26. Close Qualcomm QPST one window at a time.
27. Disconnect the USB cable from your device
28. Perform Soft reset once
29. Test new MSL(##000000#)
30. If new code does not go through, hard reset.
31. Depending on what device you have, follow the necessary steps to unlock your phone so you can flash a new ROM to it.
32. Install OEM ROM from carrier of choice or build your own custom ROM using the new carrier's information.
33. Follow instructions to flash new OS to device.
34. Call service provider and do some sweet talking to get them to activate the phone on their network. You may need to do some serious sweet talking because Sprint ESNs are not in Verizon's database and vice versa. This goes for all CDMA carriers.
Good luck.
just get the PRL & MDN FROM YOUR NEW CARRIER AND CHANGE IT USING QUALCOMM
IF U GOT CONFUSION JUST REPLY ME
ALSO I DONT OFTEN VISIT COMP.. SO JUST WAIT 4 MY REPLY I WILL DEFINETELY REPLY YOU
GOOD LUCK
ALSO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Try using ##778# with no snd. Then you should have the new window pop up.

if u dont get a prl just try to connect any of phones running on cellcomm and then read PRL from that phone using QUALCOMM
also if u want to start it to cellcomm then just go there and fill up the forms and tell them to enter your ESN on their network now just install TELUS WM 6.1 ROM and then dial *228 it will automatically download all the PRL,MDN and change all other information
then flash any ROMS you like i basically like NFS FAN V17 ROM
ALSO U SHOULD PROBABLY DIAL ##778# IT WILL OPEN EPST TOOL THEN U WILL NOT HEAR THE RECORDING!!!!!
IF ANY PBL REPLY ME !!!!!!!
WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR

HTC HD2 T-Mobile UK problems

Hi, searched high and low on here. Does anyone have an idea of what serial number would be of an unlocked HTcHD2 from what HTC call Europe 1? I am useless at ROM/tech stuff. HTC won't let me upgrade my ROM as my phone is Tmobile locked. My biggest problem with this is that Tmobile will not release any updated ROMs because it would unlock the Youtube app in HD2. Why? God only knows. I just want my phone to work as HTC intended and get value for money both with technical support and features. If anyone can help would appreciate greatly.

After you've done the above you also need to remove the proxy server; which T-mob settings put in by default.
( Comm Manager -> Menu -> Connections. Under T-Mobile, Set up proxy server. Uncheck "This network uses e Proxy Server..." )

goto t-mobile directly..its what i did unlock straight from them the best and the safest way of a guaranteed code, but you will have to be with them for more than a month to get the code this is with HD2..

T-Mobile charges £15 pounds to give you a unlock code.
If you now a friend who works for T-Mobile than you can ask him and see if he can give you the unlock code

why are people telling the OP to unlock the phone? thats not the issue or part of what they wanted to do

If he wants it how HTC intended it then unlocking it is part of it
But if the OP is on T-Mobile then it's not an issue, just HSPL it and away you go!!

Getting Hero MSL? (Sprint)

So I went chatting with a support person today, and got this response..
AgentJamie M
I do apologize however the lock code is not provided until device is no longer on a term subscription that is under a current contract.
Has anybody else run into this problem? I'm sure with the Hero not out very long, nobody here has paid the stupid thing off completely, or completed a two year agreement.
Is there any other way to get the MSL? The adb info or whatever command doesn't return the MSL. I'm using DamageControl 2.1

call cs and ask for it ...if that operator wont give it to you call back and ask again one of them will give it to you i got mine on first call

Just a heads up.. You might be able to do this for a short while..
They won't even give MSL's to agent's over the phone anymore, and soon the MSL is going to be gone, most phones are going to OTA activations and phasing out giving programming information...
Shoot me a PM and I can help you out.....

PM Me- ill get it to you. (employee)

I called and asked for mine just yesterday. I told her that I needed it to change a setting on my phone and she gave it to me right away.
I would take 702DROID's advice and keep trying. You'll get it from one of them.

Just called, got the same answer, asked for somebody higher up, got the same exact answer right away before I even asked. Called back, asked for somebody higher up again, got the same answer.
Not my lucky day, I'll call tomorrow I guess.

************************************************** ********
This is a modified guide I wrote for the samsung instinct that will walk you through how to get your MSL code and what to do with it.
DISCLAIMER, I am ###NOT### responsible for any damage you do to your phone or your phone network with this information
************************************************** ********
---- How to access programming and service menus---
*NOTE* only do this from an official build from sprint, anything with a modified dialer might not work *NOTE*
*NOTE* only confirmed to work with official 1.5 or roms based off of official 1.5 ie fresh 1.1 *NOTE*
On your phone go to the dialer, then dail in any one of these codes below and after the last # you should get the menu or it will ask for "current code" aka your MSL #
##data# (##3282#)
##debug#(##33284#)
##diag#(##3424#)
##svn#(##786#)
##prl#(##775#)
##prev#(##7738#)
##akey#(##2539#)
##vocoder# (##8626337#)
-------How to get your MSL code---------------
1) download required 3rd party app
download demo version of CDMA WORKSHOP from
http://www.cdma-ware.com
**not required to get MSL** download qpst version 2.7b323 (advanced program for making changes to radio programming)
http://rs714.rapidshare.com/files/297770360/qpst.zip
2) install the HTC HERO DIAG drivers
http://rs79.rapidshare.com/files/293529424/HTC_Hero_DIAG_Drivers.zip
3)connect your phone via usb cable
4)dial ##diag# (##3424#) on your phone for diag menu, when prompted direct windows to diag drivers listed above
5)run CDMA WORKSHOP, settings at main screen on the right are as follows
com settings (AT mode)
---------------
Port (com#) <--- click port and it should say "HTC DIAG COM PORT"
Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting
com settings (DM mode)
---------------
Baud rate (115200) <--- use this setting
6) you should now be able to hit <connect> if it was successful you'll see in status bar <connected to com#>
7) now click <read> after a moment all your info will come up on left panel, phone # etc
8) click on security tab change the right panel setting and look for the following block
SPC/User Lock
----------------
Defualt (nv_read) <--- use this setting
9)now click read if done sucessfully you'll see the block below this option flash red and give you a number
10)note the 6 digit number under <SPC/USER LOCK> the one that flashed red, ****this is your MSL number***
***** just an additional warning***** you can REALLY and I mean REALLY screw up your phone if you change one of the settings in those menus if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing. This isn't for the faint of heart or the random tinkerer.... just be warned

good because I was just about to ask you to give it to me too lol, probably along with everyone else reading this thread

I would strongly encourage everyone not to **** with **** in there though.... an RUU will not recover if you change the wrong thing.... and will require sprint to get involved (if the tech you are talking to is smart enough to fix it)

Problem is, I need the Eris numbers. I had to use ##788+call to get to the menu to edit the SIC.

Im pretty sure QPST is proprietary and also considered Warez since its not readily available. I would take it down if I were you...

I really don't like asking this because I know someone will end up bricking their phone from this post but I am curious.
what usefulness does this have?

Or you could have pm'ed me when I asked, as I was looking at the system to get your MSL...
I'm off work now...
PM me your esn and phone number and I will send it to you first thing in the morning at 10cst when I get to work..

I used the MSL number to change the amount of time it took for my hero to ring when a phone call came in... as some people have reported there is major lag between the time someone heres rings when calling you to when the hero actually rings itself...
i like most others called and told them i needed to change the setting (can't remember what it was) and they gave me both MSLs for my 2 heros...
Unless something changed from a week ago, it should just be a matter of asking the right person, but telling them you have a reason for it, not just asking for the MSL...
here is the link to a post that allowed me to make the change, but more importantly get the info...

The easiest way I've found to get the MSL is to do an online ESN swap.
Take your old phone (or any Sprint phone that's not currently activated) - it doesn't even matter if it turns on.
Sign onto your Sprint account and start the process to "Active a new phone".
Enter your other phone's ESN... follow the links....
Wait a few minutes (maybe 10) and go back in and swap back to your Hero.
Through the process, they give you the MSL and the one-time lock code.

any sprint store employee will give it to you if you walk in, no ones ever asked me and ive never been told i cannot give this info.

how do you shorten the amount of times it rings? id love to do that. also, what other things can you do with the msl#?

Or if you call in, make some bogus reason like your phone keeps freezing, ask them to walk you through an RTN, they will have you enter ##(yourmsl)#, tell them thanks and that it seems to be working better and your done.

How to SIM unlock HD2 w/o foreign SIM card ?

I have T-Mobile US HD2. Called T-Mobile and got unlock code for SIM card. It requires to insert foreign SIM card during procedure.
I do not have foreign SIM card now, but I DO want to unlock it BEFORE I go overseas, because sometimes T-Mobile gives wrong unlock code.
Is there any way to SIM unlock HD2 w/o actually having non T-Mobile SIM card ?

don't think there is, not without the phone tech hardware.
do you not have a friend with a different network sim you can borrow?
EDIT - i was wrong, see post 5

ahh unlucky. guess its time to shell out for a cheap PAYG sim on a diff network perhaps....
maybe you could take it into a phone shop? see if they have test sims they'd let you put in for a minute?

Actually, it's easy. Just navigate to the Windows directory through File Explorer, scroll down and launch the SIMLock application. Pops up with the same screen you get if you boot the phone with a non-T-Mo SIM inside. Surprised more people haven't found that.

wow. duh.
(as in, I feel pretty dumb right now lol)
And thanks for that on behalf of the several TP2 users who had been looking for that solution as well, I just passed this on to them. Much appreciated!!

So now that the phone is unlocked can I flash it with custom roms with out having to unlock it again or do I need to unlock every time?

Flashing custom ROMs won't affect the sim-unlock.
However, sim-unlocking your phone doesn't make it possible to flash custom ROMs, that's a completely different process

This worked great for me. I requested the unlock code from Tmobile and recieved an email the next day. I browsed to the SIMlock app and entered the code and then I got a message saying the "unlock code accepted".
I requested another unlock code from Tmobile at the same time as this one but 11 days later I still have nothing but an email saying they requested it from HTC. Weird that one was 1 day and the other takes this long.
Thanks for your help on this!

WOW ! Indeed. Never thought about it myself Thanks. Although I was able to find foreign SIM this time, but it is not my last Windows phone to unlock.

Who did you email to get it unlocked? I need to do the same.

Well....its been 5days since I requested the unlock code from T-Mobile, still waiting to receive it.

You need to Fax your receipt to TMOUS and then they will email you the unlock code.
There is no email support for TMO

I didn't email I just called t-mobile customer service

Does anybody know if it will unlock while in WP7 and/or Android, or do I have to flash back to WM6.5?

Here is a sim unlock for the Galaxy S2 from Chainfire I would like to know if we could get this to work on the HD2 check out link
