Unlock MDA Compact - From T-mobile to O2
Thanks
Marc
mate i used that to unlock and mine runs all but orange now
form t mobile to o2 i went
Which software did you use
and what O2 Rom did you use?
Sorry to be a pain
i dont know much but its no problem mate.
i didnt swop the ROM etc,i just wanted to be able to use any card in it.
so i ran unlocker (read it and go slow cos it can ,mess up)
if ya rush it then it tries to load while your pda is still booting up it can then asks for a code but get stuck on that screen but , a reinstall covers that.
i dont now owt about roms dude
but that unlocker did allow other sims in a t mobile phone
sorry i dont know more,hopefully someone can offer some more info
good luck mate
Thank you very much
will try that and see if it works
i have been told that the O2 roms are better than the T-mobile Roms, so i was wanting rid of anything t-mobile...
Thanks alot again
Marc
For the moment the TMO1.13wwe has the best specs. To ditch the unwanted 'extra' features, you need to hard-reset your device & just after the init procedure ends (after the 'tap screen to begin using your device' message & you get the default windows wallpaper) soft-reset before the customization pop-up shows. Now the ext-rom isn't executed & you have plain 2K3.
Now it's up to you what you install from the ext-rom ;-)

Hello All,
I'm a newbie here and am currently using a GSM Treo 600, but have a GSM 8125 on the way. As a message board veteran (cigars, poker, etc...) I tried my due dilligence and have been reading and searching topics for the past day. It's simply too much info (a good thing) and the relevant topics that I find have so many posts with updates that I have a hard time keeping stuff straight.
I'm looking for direction on what type of things to upgrade and what must have programs I should add to the 8125. I realize that this type of post probably appears much too often but I have truly been overwhelmed with all the information that is here. For example, I've seen many posts regarding flashing the ROM but I was unable figure out what the latest ROM version is (created by Summiter) and I'm also unsure of all the benefits of flashing the ROM.
Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I just got mine 1 week ago and this is what I did to make it run nice. I say that because after one day of use on the original cingular rom it was already acting up.
Go to these links in the forums and do as they say. Summiter and these guys have done us a great service with all their work. All this is free too.
Go here first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
down load the lokiwiz version 0.2b and use it as the directions specify. You may as well SuperCID unlock the device if you want to upgrade the rom in the next step or it won't work. Remember to SuperCID after you take the first step.
From there go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48587
Read though it to about page 3 or 4 and find the link to the ftp site. Download the program and run it following the directions.
Don't panic when it hits 98% and freezes. That is standard. It will finish up eventually and reboot the 8125.
My 8125 runs perfect and I love the tiki theme. Summiter is great at helping and many of the other users really help also. Also, if you can't hook up to your Microsoft Exchange Server with Activesync when your 8125 is connected through the usb port, disable the proxy server in your internet settings.
Have fun. This is easy to do - I am a novice and had no problems.
THANK YOU Addicus! I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction.
wow me too. im a noob and just got my 8125 and noticed its acting up abit. i'll try all this later on. hopefully i wont have any trouble doing all this stuff. thank you.
Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!
Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.
Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU
Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.
Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.
It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.

Hi there,
I found few websites that offer an unlock code, but I just wanted to check it with you guys which service is the most reliable.
My Desire HD is on its way to me, but it will be locked to T-Mobile UK and I will need it unlocked.
Any recommendations? Or perhaps there is a DIY, free way to unlock it?
Thanks
Yep, there is a free way to unlock it. Over in the Dev section there is a tool to Root, S-OFF, Unlocked CID & SimUnlock all in one.
If you dont want to do all that and just unlock the SIM, I have personally used http://www.unlock-now.com/ for my HTC Hero. I had no problems, and I got a code in 15 minutes.
I've just checked and they support the DHD, just make sure you use your Paypal account, "just in case" there are any problems, atleast you'd get your money back.

Thanks a lot for a clear answer
I'll try the "free" way first, otherwise I will go to the site you provided.
Although when you said about money back I'm not sure about this. I bought something once from one of the worldwide websites and something went wrong and when I wanted to get my money back, PP said that they don't support "other" websites than eBay. But it may have changed now.
Thanks for your help anyway I will definitely go for it.
No problem at all.
I can confirm that if you log in to your PayPal account then pay, you should still be covered. I previously tried to buy a unlock code for my Hero from >> www.htccode.com <<, I did not recieve my code and submitted a PayPal dispute. After 21 days or so I got my money back.
I wouldn't recommend that site to anyone, others may have used it and had success. Strangely Google Chrome now flags the site "Malware Detected".
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S which can be easily unlocked by code. A friend want to buy a HTC Desire HD, so we want to know about the unlock as well.
I was looking at the Tool Radio S-Off. I want to know if it's the same as unlocking by code, or I will lost my SimUnlock by restoring the Desire HD?
The tool in the Dev section is very different from a code you would normally buy.
If you or your friend is comfortable and experienced in using the SDK, adb & fastboot then you should have no problems in using this tool.
Make sure you read & re-read any steps before you perform them. I almost bricked my wife's SGS! - Fortunately her's did not have a faulty download/recovery.
I almost broke my SGS many time and I have a faulty device without R&D. Luckily, it can be fixed but I always check its avaibility before every flash.
My friend know nothing about IT in general, that's why I want to know there is a tool which can generate the code like the case of SGS (as I understand, the code is available in the phone itself for the SGS, but it may not be the case for the Desire HD).
I don't know how this tool works, whether it retrieves a stored code or not.
If you've read though the guides and its something you'd want to try both for the experience and an unlocked DHD then I'd be happy to help should you get stuck.

Will I loose unlock when Android will be updated to future firmwares?
No, once you have SimUnlocked your DHD that is it. It will not locked again.

So is this guide good for the first-time-android-user? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444
What's missing in this guide for noobs? Things like, at which point should I connect my DHD to the computer? Does all these apps work under win7 64-bit? Or do I have to install any additional software etc etc?

Hello, like several people on this forum, i got the Galaxy Grand Prime S920L variant (Straight Talk/Tracfone).
As you know, only the stock kernel and stock recovery have been posted so far.
I'm willing to donate a little to someone able to provide the files & steps to unlock this device so that it accepts Sim from other companies. So if anyone can help or point me towards the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. :highfive:
Just a thought....If your on Straight Talk, call the toll free number (you will NOT have to talk to any real person doing this) transfer your SIM card to the T-Mobile or AT&T card variant and then you should have an Unlocked SM-S920L. Let me know if this helps.
That won't work.
Thanks for the suggestion fellas. I need proper unlocking though because i need to be able to use a mexican company sim (such as Telcel or Movistar). So if any developer out there is reading, im still willing to donate a little to anyone who can help me unlock this phone. Cheers!
you cant simply just unlock the sim card with a nsap of your fingers, and honestly, straight talkj is pretty strict about it... you ll have to look at the unlocking policy located on the bottom of their website..
must have phone on service for 12 months or more
must not been filed as lost or stolen
etc
etc
etc
whatever it says...
I know we cant just unlock with a finger snap, that's why we are here on XDADevelopers. We also know about their terms & conditions, but again, thats why im requesting the useful help of of XDADevelopers, thank you.
i doubt there would be a way to bypass the carriers systems to unlock the sim card..... it think you would have to hack their databases and allow an unlock on your #
ACTUALLY, there is a way to unlock the device that doesn't go anywhere near hacking a corporate database and is truly closer to a finger snap. It requires the use of dialer codes, service program menu editing and the MSL/SPC code. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the specific steps, which is why I'm searching this forum today. I hope the writer of this post has found a solution and I apologize profusely for not being able to relay more information. I just had to stop the influx of ignorance in this thread. FYI folks: people come here for answers and information, not for your erroneous assumptions. K?
