I WANT UNLOCK MY O2 XDA EXEC BUT I DONT KNOW HOW?

I WANT UNLOCK MY O2 XDA EXEC BUT I DONT KNOW HOW? I WILL PAY IF SOME ONE CAN UNLOCK MY O2 XDA EXEC. IM LIVE IN USA I DONT HAVE ANY ACCES TO O2 COMPANY IN UK. PLEASE PLEASE I WILL PAY IF SOME ONE CAN UNLOCK MY O2 XDA EXEC OR PROVIDE ME A WEBSITE TO UNLOCK MY XDA.

IT IS UNLOCKED. STOP SHOUTING.

Gosh, I don't understand you buy such an advanced phone and don't even know how to test if a phone is locked or unlocked ???

I don't intend to be rude...
BUT - have u actually received an O2 Exec, THEN tested it with anoother SIM and it proved to be locked;
OR are you just trying to 'pre-empt' such a situation?
As far as I know from reading this site and others, to-date no body has actually received a locked xda-Exec.... so you might be the first!! (ergo my aparent scepticism).
in any case Good Luck

If only congenital stupidity was a capitol crime.
..... I'd probably not be here anyway.

If only snide rhetoric was equally punishable.
Cut the guy some slack. Yes, he should have searched, but just give him a break before going for his throat. Sheesh.

See here in Europe we ridicule, ostracize and mutilate our idiots. It encourages them to stick with Jesus and leave Pocket PC ownership to the digerati. Your lot it seems, elect them. Muahaha.
Don't feel obliged to resort to snide rhetoric.
Although it would be more fun than, say, stealing someone elses country.

Damn , I managed to get Jesus and Bush AND illegal foreign war into that one.
I'll be having a cerebral haemorrhage in the near future, no doubt.

Changing IMEI on HTC Touch

Hi, I'm new to the site, and I wanted to ask if someone could please help me change my HTC Touch IMEI... Most of the solutions I found on google didn't work well, maybe because I'm using a newer SPL? Please help, I'm totaly new to this kind of things...
Thanks in advance

It's illegal in most countries.

I know, but I saw that there are some programs to edit it here, so I think I am allowed to ask...

its illegal like the man said...so no you are not allowed to ask [Mod Edit for Language] Thank you

It's illegal to record someonethat doesn't know it,but you can still buy spycameras... Not that I condone it, but the program isn't illegal.

First of all, I think you should just calm down. I have just kindly asked for a solution and you insult me. What a nice person you are, really... Even if it's not legal I'm sure it's not disallowed to post such things here, or most of the posts/programs I found here using google would have been deleted...

Dnt worry..just reported him
There is a thread some were by the name " Changin IMEI is going to get u a score "...look in that maybe its helpful for u

Quick Mod Note:
Just because something is illegal that doesn't mean you can't ask about it. Granted you probably won't get much legit help with it but asking the question is fair game.
There was a changer written by a member to help those who have "legit" use for such a tool. Of course the thread was allowed to live after much Moderator discussion about it but there were heavy warnings abotu the legality of doing such to your phone. Also note that this was back when the Wizard was king so I doubt it will work for newer devices.

Two Reasons for IMEI Change
1. You have a stolen phone
2. Your a terrorist

Thanks for the help, is the program iWizard? I found it, and well, it just tells me my IMEI is composed by numbers and LETTERS xD
Well, then my question becomes another one: is there a way to downgrade from SPL 2.60 (I think... how do I find it?) to a lower one, just to try if it works?
----------------
@obsydian
No, it's not a stolen phone neither I am a terrorist (what would a terrorist do with a changed IMEI?!? )... It's my father's old phone which he believed it got stolen, so he blocked the IMEI... now that ha has found it again (he left it in our house on the seaside, where I am writing from) he gave it to me because he bought a new one and he doesn't have the bill here, so he can't unlock the IMEI now. I can stil use it as a smartphone and I really like it, but I don't like taking 2 phones with me... so I wanted to fix it, at least temporary (we're going back home in August... -_-"). I don't want to do anything EXTREMELY illegal, just change the IMEI for a few months...

Some European countries (like Turkey) require you to pay import tax on phones purchased out of country before they can be activated. Basically instead of operating on a blacklist to block stolen phones your phone must be whitelisted to work. It gets whitelisted when sales tax (or import tax) is paid.
If you don't have an acceptable receipt (basically up to customs if they'll accept eBay/Paypal print-outs) then you can never get the device whitelisted as you can't pay the tax.
So is it completely legal? No.
Is it an understandable situation? Yes.
One of those gray areas where XDA-Devs thrives. No trying to steal but need to bend the rules a bit.

Sorry to bump, still looking for someone to help me downgrade it...

I'm in the same boat, though I need to change the IMEI on my Kaiser. iWizard doesn't even detect my phone.

Kyphur,
you said it right man..I am from Turkey, live in US.. I have a ATT tilt..when I went there in March I registered my phone..but only every two years I can register one phone..so it means I gotta use this tilt over there for 2 years..but i change my phone every 6 months..so this is a grey area..it is a f'ed up rule we have there in Turkey...

Warning HTCCODE website, forum user FerrariPassion

**UPDATE , I DID GET THE CODE HOWEVER I WOULD TAKE TIME TO READ THIS THREAD BEFORE USING THESE GUYS**
These are the guys that claim on their website....
Unlock any HTC phone locked to any network worldwide instantly!
# Full money back guarantee if we fail at our end.
A word of warning on these guys , they take your money and then when they cannot provide a code your phone they make a few excuses and then stop responding to PM's or emails , the user on this forum is ferraripassion and the website is htccode.com they also use totalgsm software. Here is another site they operate under http://www.simunlock-htchero.com/buy.html
My phone is locked to the three network in the UK and the IMEI number is not in their database.
I am sure when everything runs smoothly they are fine , however the judge of a good company is when something goes wrong !!
They are based in Banaglore according to whois , might pay them a visit as I am over there next week
Anyway would be great if you could make this a sticky so that other people at least deal with these guys with their eyes open.
I will update this thread if they either refund my money or if they provide the unlock code both are promises that they made on the website.
Mark

I fully agree that they are not very hot on communication, but I don't think they're fraudulent. I got my code from them a while ago, but it did take a week or so and communication was very poor.
Regards.
Dave

Well i am at two weeks and waiting ....
Mark

and let me just say this, I emailed another site THIS MORNING asking for unlock with this phone, and guess what !!! its the same people. See below for what they say when i ask if they can unlock phone, they dont realise its the same person... inbetween time they have ignored my emails and PM's about the original purchase.
Can you unlock this phone HTC Hero , locked to Three UK
IMEI number below.

Hi
Yes, you have to purchase the code on www.htccode.com

www.totalgsm.org

i've had the same experience, code not in their database. Please wait 3-4 days and PM Ferrari person again. So i did, but no reply.

did you ever get an unlock solution ?

not as of yet, i bought the code a week ago thursday

i used htccode, the client generated the unlock key almost instantly. I found that it didnt work in the end and got a refund. But i found out my Orange UK Hero had the new ROM which used orange's own unlock algorithm. All i did was downgrade it and flash it with MoDaCo's custom rom and the key worked fine.

Hi
Your code has been sent.

code recieved and works

Another one here !!!
I'm in the same position, no code, no money.....
I don't know what happened, but is very sad to me to waste my money for nothing....
Greetings

i got the code late last night and it works for htc on THREE , seems this thread hurried them along.
Mark

tried to get my code earlier but said my IMEI wasn't recognised. Emailled ferrari passion off here and sent the crap through they need via that gsm server.
I will add however it is an incredibly poor show that they take money for a service they don't even know for certain they can give i.e whether or not they can unlock your phone, and can only clarify this once they have your money.
I'm sure the word "fraud" fits in there somewhere...from wiki "In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain ..."

they do not offer any explanation to the delays which is the annoying bit.
In the end I did get my code so they can do it when pushed .... I just think they fail to communicate when things do not go to plan.
In my case it was three weeks of it will be tomorrow or no replies ... I post this thread and raise a pay-pal dispute and it is solved within one day.
At least this thread will let people see what kind of service they offer and then they can make their own mind if they want to spend the money.
Mark

Yes i hear you mate, well we'll see, at the end of the day its £14 so i was prepared to take the risk. I'm also a pain in the arse when it comes to getting ripped off so i'm sure i'll get somewhere. It clearly says on their website that they can unlock htc heroes on orange, they take £14 off me then say they can't....hmmm

Like I have said before. Phones are being manufactured everyday and Orange etc.. rolls them out in batches.
It is impossible to update the database everyday with so many IMEI's.
So this happens monthly or once in 2 weeks.
@mark
I did tell you that I will email you once the code has been obtained and that has been done.
Now the main database has been updated with 2 million records, so there should be no problem with the automated system.
@crazy email me your IMEI no, will have a look.
And am 100% no one else would have got you the code this fast. You can still try with other providers who are on the net, you will get a response saying code not in database and you will be offered a refund and not a code.

Your totally missing the point here mate, it says on your website "Unlock any HTC phone locked to any network worldwide instantly!". Not in two weeks or when you can be bothered to find the code.
What your doing is like royal mail advertising next day special delivery and then saying well we'll deliver it when we get round to it, can't guarantee when though.
Your are clearly advertising a service you cannot provide or am i missing some smallprint here?
I emailed you my IMEI as soon as the software failed to generate my code? However I shall "instantly" do it again.

@ crazy
The mistake is at your end.
You have not read the instructions.
The code has been generated , but you have not clicked on get using the software.
http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9

@ Fradulentpassion
Yes it does work now your right, however from the information i sent you last night when i tried you will know exactly what i did? Seems funny how a quick rant on here has got results! You still fail to aknowledge the short fallings in your service though which is the issue here?
Thanks anyway. For all those people wondering, code received, orange htc hero now unlocked. Result

Potential Bootloader Unlock for Non-Dev Edition

****OK FIRST OFF BY NO MEANS IS THIS METHOD A BRUTE FORCE METHOD OR A HACK OF SORTS****
***THIS METHOD INVOLVES PURCHASING A SERVICE AND PROVIDING YOUR DEVICES IMEI NUMBER****
***I, NOR ANYONE ELSE, IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU USE THIS AND SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK***
***IF SUCCESSFUL, YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOIDED, BUT HEY YOUR HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER RIGHT?***
**SEE HERE FOR TWRP AND ROOT INT HIS THREAD INFO ONCE YOU ARE UNLOCKED**
UPDATE: See this post on pg 30 for TWRP and ROOT INSTALL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51155272&postcount=294
Ok so as some know there has been a somewhat confirmed and discovered way to unlock the bootloader on carrier purchased Moto X/Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini Devices. I will explain in brief detail what is needed to do. Please understand that I will be providing no links, just a brief explanation of what you can do to attempt this. There are 2 methods.
1 - doing it directly yourself and purchasing the service. (website)
2 - using the service through a 3rd Party (eBay)
The service I found is on a website if you have not heard about it, PM someone here willing to help. Now in order to use the site you need to sign up etc etc and its not in English. Here is where your good ol friend Goggle Translate comes into play.
Now for Method 1
Sign up on the website. The website is called taobao.com. you will need to use chrome and google translate to navigate through the site. you will need to set up and account and payment info etc etc.
Search for a seller selling the unlock codes (Price will no be in USD). Search for xt1080 unlock or something like that. There are many purchase options. Just amke sure it is for your device and read the listing.
Purchase using the sites standard payment method (similar to paypal here) or through credit card elligble for purchases in the country of origin.
*Provide IMEI to seller and receive unlock code.
Usually within 24-48 hours you have an unlock code.
*NOTE - If you do not feel comfortable providing this, then i suggest you stop right away. Always know what you are doing and the risks involved.
Method 2
Certain sellers on eBay will provide a service to do all the purchasing for you and all you need to do it pay the small auction price, and then paypal or transfer them the funds for the sale. They will purchase for you etc etc. You will need to search for taobao on eBay and find a seller. Once this is done then you can work with the seller, provide the link to the item you want and go from there. Please be aware of what you are doing. IN this method you now give your IMEI to not only the person giving the unlock code, but also a person through eBay.
**AGAIN PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING**
I myself went ahead with method 1 and was successful (see images). Some people have had success and will contest to it. As with any boot loader unlock, please know your warranty is now void and neither XDA, its members, or anyone else including myself is responsible for what you do.
Please use this thread to talk about success or failure using this process if you do. Do not post links to anything or anything that would be frowned upon through XDA. If you want to you can always PM people for more details about things. Not saying everyone bombard me with PM's. I will answer but i also have a normal life and don't want people upset if i don't respond.
Please also note that unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device clean. This includes storage.
If you want more detailed instructions - Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/verizon-moto-maker-bootloader-unlock-t2680651
Good Luck
UPDATE: IMAGES ATTACHED, I HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED. Sorry for the blurry cam pics, only had a work iPod touch that i could snap quick pictures with

As tempting as this is, I'll likely not opt for it. This phone is not a lifelong device, which, coincidentally, also temps me to, and not to do it. Naw, too risky.
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.

My concern is what will be done with all these imei numbers that are collected. It's not like they can't be stolen by company employees before the phone is ever bought... I think the big question would be what is the WORST that could happen by providing your imei if you can prove you legally purchased the device

I did option 2 yesterday. Just waiting on the codes now. I will update once I get the file and have the BL unlocked.

Yea thats the big risk. the other thing to think about to is that at any given time any employee has access to all the IMEI stickers on the boxes. all it takes is 1 person to screw around and thats that. im willing to take the risk for right now. if it works YAY...if not then well i'll get a refund and then probably dump the phone for a new one when something else comes out.

And this thread is the reason this method will not last very long.
People don't seem to understand, talking and making threads about such things in the open cuts down the time things like this are available.

Cmon, IMEI is not a secret code you can use to get full access to your phone or something else. It is written on the label of the box of very droid. This way any janitor in Verizon store has an access to the vital information. Seriously? You can generate all droids IMEI on your own, rules are known:

One would make a lot more money selling individual unlocks. 60+ sales would cover that. And think of other phones that use this method too. And likely not an exploit that can be released. But maybe a method that should be kept quiet

Stop just please stop this nonsense. No one is hiding anything what this guy is doing has nothing to do with the bounty. And no one on XDA is hiding anything stop trolling. Either participate or don't but stop with stupid conspiracy theories. I'm tired of all the haters if you don't feel comfortable then don't do it. Were all big boys here and can make up our own minds.

All you ones needing can communicate everything one needs to know, just with PM's only..maybe post results in a simple yes or no, success or not in the thread..if anyone has a question for another..then just click on that ones ID and communicate that way..never giving a clue here..but it certainly is to late for not "spilling the beans" but as of out of respect for that ones request..make the thread unclear to what is happening..or delete it..

I have used the unlock code from the seller. It 100% works. I did refresh my phone which I didn't want to happen. Bad news is he informed me that he is getting out of selling the unlock codes and asked that I not share is information. I will respect his wishes. IDK if there are other people willing to sell the codes.

Why isn't there a free way to get the bootloader unlock code?

Hi, as many of you know, Huawei doesn't provide their users with bootloader unlock codes for some stupid reason. The thing is, many other third party services have popped up claiming to be able to give you a personalized unlock code. They are all paid, and they seem sketchy, but apparently they do work. My question is, if somebody that's completely not associated with Huawei in any way can get these codes, why can't the community develop a program to do it for free? I mean, it's not to be cheap, but these people are charging for a code that belongs to us, the users. I don't want to pay for a code out of principle, the technology is there because there's multiple services that can achieve it, then why can't we do it?

I don't know the exact reason but I assume the creating such an application is hard work. Maybe that's why all of them are paid.
Usually, a software that can be cloned easily is already free.
