How?
Please, xda-developers, please, we need to unlock our XDA II ; 'til that I just can use it as a PDA
Thank's a lot, guys, if you have time ...
o2 charged me £15 for the unlock code...got it within 48 hours
Hi,
What number at O2 did you call to unlock the phone and what excuse did you you use?
Thanks,
K
just plain customer services from my handset ..and just asked for it to be unlocked..i just said that i wanted to use a foreign sim card when abroad
xda 2 Unlock code, i have one
I have an unlock code for XDA 2, please e-mail me and I can send it to someone to see if it works. Completeley free as I don't know if it will work. :?
Unlock codes will be unique to each Xda II IMEI.
So, I very much doubt your code will work in any Xda.
I'd imagine the Xda II will be much harder to unlock than Xda I
Xda 2 Unlock
You are more than welcome to try if you wish.
No master code? Ah well, such is life.
XDA II unlock

Can you also use other UK SIMs, e.g., Vodaphone?
Could you also send the telephone number you called?
Many thanks
Unlock codes
O2 customer services are so inconsistent keep phoning everyone. I phoned three times first time I was told it could not be done, second time the woman said she would put the request in for me and it would cost me £15.00 and that she would phone me back. As she didn't phone back I phoned the next day to complain and got passed to a supervisor who told me that O2 were no longer issuing codes for the XDA II as they wanted it to be for O2 only and that this had come from the board of directors!! He add though, that if I paid my contract out which he said would be £400.00 plus the £15.00 they would consider it. I am on pay as you go so I could not do this and wouldn't anyway. I accepted this and thought I would wait for the developers here to sort it out, within 5 minutes of me putting the phone down the lady I spoke to the day before from O2 rang back and said " I have the code I requested yesterday would you like it?" Naturally I said yes, She then gave it to me asked me if she could help me with anything else, which I replied no, and she put the phone down. The best part about this is that she forgot to charge me £15.00 for the code, She hasn't taken it from my C/Card or my payg balance, BONUS!!!!! 8)
So everyone, Just Keep trying O2 Customer Services on 08702410202 and press Zero until you go through to a Human Being.
unlockin the xda 2 drama's!!
Im so sad!
jus been on phone to o2 so many times today but they jus wont unlock it!
even after saying that its against offtel regs they said its their own make so they dont hav to unlock it....
so if any1 knos of a independant shop who will help or of any1 who has a code - plz help me!!
thanks
You won't believe this!!
My Brother got an XDA II which he gave to me to get unlocked, I had no luck with normal O2 customer services. However, his contract is a corporate contract, So I used his details and after hanging around on the phone for about an hour I went through to a personal Corporate advisor who will now be e-mailing me the code in two or three days. It was so easy!!!! no questions asked. They said they would charge the acount, which is fine by me!!
The moral to this story is - if you know anyone who has a corperate acount with O2, ask them very nicely if you can use their details.
You will need - The mobile number, The company name, The company address, the O2 contact person (if possible, if not just say you don't know), The name of your mate and the IMEI number also the e-mail address of your mate with company.
Good Luck and keep trying!!
Maybe at some point we can provide some help
No promises, but we do not have locked devices ourselves. So if you could go to http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4095 with your locked device and send me some info...
Thanks,
Thanks a lot xda-devs , we are crossing fingers !!!
I went to the thread to see if I can help, but it appears to be chinese to me ... I have not Linux, but if I can help in any way, let me know by PM... :wink:

Hi,
I've worked on unlocking software before.. Is there any info on exactly how the locking in this phone works? I was quite surprised to see AT commands can do it. Have they left some high level unlocking commands or are you accessing the flash/eeprom through those commands?
If the former i guess there is a checksum or some kinda signing algo? or is it even eaiser than that hehe
If the later, i guess you need to map the rom and eeprom before you can do it.
And erm.. couldnt we just upload the rom from a iMate Phone Edition (from Carrier Devices), which is the unlocked version of the XDA II (O2 rebadged it for their network)
Toxic.
Hmm having thought about that, the rom probably checks weather a lock is present. The only way that would work is if the iMate doesnt bother with any lock checks at all, rather than just comes unlocked.
Thats probably unlikey :-(

Dear All Friends
I Have Hera110 Locked To Tmobile Usa And Ineed To Unlock It So Please Any One Can Help Me .
And Cani User Hermes Software To Unlock It .
Call T-Mobile after you've had the Wing for more than 30 days, tell them you are going out of the country and would like to use an international SIM. They should give you the unlock code free of charge.
...
But you would have found this answer if you had used the SEARCH function.
thanks for your answer but iam out side usa and this phone for customer
and iam unlock shop .so if there is any email of tmobile which i can send theme imei and send me code without personal information send it to me .
buy unlock code from ebay for about 35 usd, be careful if price is too low its fake.
Hey there.
I have just won a HTC Trophy on a seminar. Despite the system's limitations, the phone is great, super-fast, great screen, good sound quality...
There is only one thing that is keeping me from using it.
It is locked and works only with vodafone (Portugal) sim cards, and with other carriers sim cards it asks for a unlock code.
Is there any way to get this code? Any website (I'm willing to pay if it is a reasonable price). Vodafone PT says they will unlock it for 99€, which I think is too much.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards from Portugal,
CarlosRodrigues
Hi,
Try contact with Microsoft, they will give you the code, i brougth mine in Spain because in th time was inexistent here in Portugal and it brings the code to unlock.
Regards
Hi.
Thanks for your response.
What contact did you use?
[Cumprimentos]
Regards

can you share it with me?
i just bought a trophy from ebay but it's locked on SFR.
I searching for unlock solution (do it yoursefl of online if resonneable price)
help
Help I can not set the message center. Message center number is not saved
I'd say find a reputable unlock service online to avoid the hassle of carriers and Microsoft giving you a run around.
O2 doing free unlock for contact customers, I put the request through the normal form rather than having to email them so it speeds thing up a lot.
https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form
Lunch time today I got an email through with the unlock code, nothing about charges and no charges placed on my account.
Steve
When I try this form weird at the 3rd page, the headline changing from Unlock your phone to Custumer service asking me what is my question, then I send it but nothing happens, just starts the custumer service form again. I tried 3 times
just in case are you talking about dell streak unlock?

Go here https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset%20Unlocking%20Form
Fill in your IMEI number and submit, they will respond to you within 24 hours, but with this bank holiday, it will only be sometime next week. They will send you an email with a 16-digit unlock code.
Be vary careful not to piss about with the unlock code on that screen that appears when you insert another sim card as after 3 failed attempts it locks your phone permanently and then you are screwed. ...like I did. ;-)
Instructions once you have the code is as follows:
- Power on device with a non O2 UK SIM card
- The device shows: "SIM network unlock PIN"
- Enter the unlock code (NCK) for the network lock and press "Unlock"
- Device will pop up a message "Network unlock successful"
If you have already entered a wrong code too many times the phone gets locked permanently. Then again, you are part of the xda community so help is always at hand. You can have your bootloader setpoint-unlocked by a guy here on the forums for 15 quid. Just drop Jinx13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4002805 a pm and scope out his website. I made use of his services and can vouch for him.
http://phoneunlockserver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/7-guide-all-xperia-bootloader-unlock-unlock-sim-enable-fastboot/
Hope this helps! ;-)
PS. Even though your sim will then be unlocked to all networks your bootloader will not be, which will limit your future options, so go for it, you know you want to....
Contact fellow XDA users Jinx13 or alejandarismo

Hi, I have the same phone with o2 uk and I just rang them up and told them I needed to unlock my phone as I go to Germany a lot and use a different sim card. The guy said no problem and that a code would be sent within a few days and it was free. The code came the next day in a text message and now the phone is sim free. Hope this helps. Lee
