the phone has all it's unloking attempts used (damn carrier)
what service do you recommend me to unlock it?
also if I unlock it, will I be able to use any sim and anytime? I mean putting back my original sim to the phone will it work or do i have to unlock it again?

once unlocked it will not relock itself.. no worries.. as far as unlocking solutions I mused mobile in canada but I think you should e-mail them with the IMEI and see if they have a unlock code for it. what carrier was it locked to? that would help narrow it down

Yes! i unlocked my X10 with them cuz I couldn't unlock it anywhere else. Trust me, I've tried all of the online remote unlocking services. HTCCode has the cable unlocking method, for $40, it's not cheap but it's really worthed. I recommended it to a lot of my buddies here in the forum and all of it worked. I've been using my X10 for about 3 months without any problem now hope this helps.

A quick question

Hi I owned a t mobile g2 touch when I had it I rooted it using the goldcard method, I have now given it to a friend who is on the o2 network he took it into a local phone shop who said they would sim unlock it, 2 days passed and now they say they cant do it as it has custom firmware :-( what do I need to do for him to be able to use it?

As far as I know sim unlock has nothing to do with Custom rom or any other rom..
You could try http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/
I used them to unlock my HTC HD7 and were preety quick with the code.. might have to pay via paypal though

sim unlock

hi guys i hope you can help me
is there anyway to unlock x10i locked orange for free because there is no paypal in algeria
the laser post in his website a tool for unlocking for free but i dont undertand how to use it
maxrfon talk about sim unlock and bootloader and now evrything deleted

not sure how to unlock it for free, from my signature link I unlocked it

If you Google around there might be a way to get it done.. but you might have to just call up orange and get them to do it. You won't need to use paypal, but you will probably have to pay.

How about x10 mini, x10 big i bought unlocked, and I have mini to. Can I to unlock with this method ?

Can anybody help me unlock my x10i ? Need it unlocked ASAP

SETool is a hardware based tool, you need a SETool box to be able to use setool software
cost about 120 dlls
http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/...ackaged,with,10pcs,cables,,8514.php?prod=8514
Im not sell it, just comment about it for users info.
BTW free X10 unlocking ends today, and now unlock will cost 4 logs (3dlls/log so about 12 dlls for unlock)

You need the Setool box to get the software running.
It is about 150 USD.

Chip Unlock
is it possible to unlock using one of those chips you place under your sim card? or only possible through code unlock?!

are you talking about the rebel sim card?
I don't think it supports sony ericsson xperia phones.

Yes, it's absolutely free. You only needs register on forum, then press yellow button "Получить Unlock code" on bottom (from left side) any forum topic and enter in open window your phone model, carrier and IMEI.

Thanks, let me try it. I will let you know.

Well I recently sent my IMEI for another but I received nothing, I had to write to some of the moderator so that he sent me the code.
I have unlocked two bravos now, today I received the code for the other bravo I bought!

Easiest way to get your Sim unlock code
Your Sim unlock or subsidy code is made from the IMEI number on your phone. The most relyable codes come from the carrier that the phone belongs to. E.G. I took me 10 mins to get my subsidy code from AT&T, That includes my waiting and hold times. If they won't give it to you just tell them your going overseas for awhile and they'll be more willing to give it to you. If you found this helpful there's a thanks buttion below. Give it a push!

i just got mine unlocked from the russain forum, they work real fast , its awesome

hmmmmmmmmmmm

I tried the russain forum and I couldn't even get past the registration part. The Google Translator just came up with an error after error. I was getting so frustrated I just gave up for now.
To alexey_tolstyh : Did you get my PM I sent you?

My g/f called AT&T today and told them she bought the phone from someone that had an account with AT&T and that she needed an unlock code for it. The Rep. asked her for the IMEI number and then gave her the unlock code after about a minute. The call lasted about 7 minutes. Wow what a surprise.

If anyone needs a bravo unlocked just pm or email me. I have an account on the Russia forum and my google works. [email protected] i'll get you your code as soon as i get it.

I too experienced problems unlocking my I337M device (not AT&T, it's the Canadian version, hence the "M" in device model). After trying the keypad menu method and failing, I tried sending my IMEI number into a website to generate a key, but apparently the Samsung servers were experiencing a global delay and they refunded me after two days. (This delay was confirmed from multiple sources.) I then tried a tethered method using an application offered by an unlocking website. It cost $15 (compare at $35 for the IMEI method) and it worked instantly! This was after two days' worth of trying other methods. I won't give you the exact link, but if you google "fastgsm", it should come up. Make sure it's the tethered method. Good luck.

thanx!

The FASTGSM website says:- Warning
Check your phone’s software version by going to Settings > About device. If Baseband version ends with MI1 or later (e.g. MJ1), your phone is not supported for USB unlocking. Use a different unlock method or downgrade your phone’s firmware.
And iam on mf3. So i think it should work!( f comes before i)

I used the FastGSM tethered method, and it worked on my MF3 stock rooted rom. Granted, I do not have MF3 bootloaders, but it otherwise seemed to work. The instructions included inside the program have you dial *#0808#, but other instructions (like the ones on their website) have to go and install a bunch of crap to your phone and dial some other number, but I found the *#0808# will get you straight to the options you need to switch your phone over to DM mode. Also don't forget to switch it back to MTP + ADB (or MTP-only if you don't want ADB debugging on).
EDIT: also make sure you have a completely unfiltered network connection. I tried it on my work's "guest" wireless that has far fewer restrictions, but it blocks something within FastGSM's app that reaches out to their servers right before performing the unlock. It's a safety to avoid them handing out a bunch of free unlocks.
Also! I forgot that I didn't have a 100% success. It didn't unlock the phone by itself, but it did at least provide me the network unlock code. I manually entered this on my phone and it worked the first time. Don't try entering the code multiple times if it doesn't work the first time! Save a copy of the log it makes, but don't post it here (includes IMEI).

I have tried using their usb method and it didnt work and they give me full refund.
I tried free method many many many times with original firmware and the lastest and it failed everytime. I even got the unlock code from att and it also didnt work. I was able to get my phone replaced because of the unlock code didnt unlock the phone. They gave me hard time but i was able to get replacement.
The replacement had the latest firmware, so i didnt try the free method or usb unlock, i just got the code from att and it worked. The free unlock method def. does something that prevents the phone from being unlocked.

From what I've seen on xda it appears that if you have mf3 firmware the sim unlock does not work. It's just an observation and I may be wrong.

This is exactly how I have unlocked all of my devices on AT&T. I just chat with international support, tell them I am going out of country and would like to use my phone there. They ask for the IMEI and within a minute give me an unlock code. Never had anyone say no, and never had issues. Unlocked S2, S3, S4, Atrix. All phones except S3 purchased on contract and still no problems.
Idk why anyone would pay $35 for something that is so easy and free and the unlock code is guaranteed to work.
