Unlock Palm Treo Pro / 850

I would like to unlock my Palm Treo Pro
I have seen that Cheetah/750 extended ROM unlocking tool works all right for Palm Treo Pro:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419354&page=13
I understand that using Cheetah/750 extended ROM unlocking tool changes the default radio from the Palm Treo Pro, is that correct?
Does anyone know an specific tool or way to unlock Palm Treo Pro.
Tx in advance!

Im confused... where did you get yours? I bought mine from dell, it is 'unlocked' as is correct?

Unlocked for being non carrier specific yes...

Mine certainly was unlocked... not sure what you are trying to do.

What I am trying to do is to SIM unlock my Palm Treo Pro from Service Provider Vodafone Spain to use it with a SIM from another carrier.
Tx in advance

Yes, you can use Cheetah unlocking kit, but im sure you'll end with a expensive piece of dead-technology

Cheetah/750 extended ROM unlocking tool is not the same with Cheeetah SIM/CID unlocker

You are correct, I would like to know is if Olipro's "Cheetah Hard-SPL and SIM Unlocker" would work on my Palm Treo Pro or not.

The Treo Pro is already unlocked out of the box.
No need to unlock it again.
You should have no problem using it on ANY GSM carrier you please (just make sure the frequencies are supported).
You just pop in the sim card.
Good Luck!

you didn't take care of the WHOLE phrase

I LOVE how this is a double post from the Palm Treo pro upgrading etc. section. I also, posted a few comments putting down this very topic. For one, the FREAKIN phone is already unlocked. And two, you are only out to make a buck! If anyone wants to how how to unlock a "locked" phone, message me and I will run you through it for FREE!

As I said earlier in some countries the phone comes operator / carrier locked.
My Vodafone Spain lock is now removed but anyway tx for your lock removal offer, maybe next time.

You were told in the other thread that the Vodafone supplied TP's are SIM locked. So why all the shouting 3 days later? If you're so clever, how about sharing your easy, free, method to all Voda EU users?

If anyone has any news on how to unlock the devide it would be greatly appreciared.
And, yes vodafone spain pro's are locked

Can you tell me how to do

Treo Pro / 850
I currently have my service through Sprint and I will like to unlock the phone so as to use one of the prepaid service that will allow me on their network.
Any recommendation?

All the Palm Treo pro in the U.K, Ireland and most of the other european countries they come as a factory unlocked, they will only have the operator's logo on start up but will accept any other Sim card, I had experience with 4 phones so far and they all accepted another Sim card straitaway, so don't believe what the operator says.

Question on unlocked Streak

Dear All,
I am planning to get a Streak (UK version) unlocked
i would like to know what is the major difference between a locked and an unlocked version?
i just know that a locked version doesnt not support other networks (e.g. O2 Streak doesnt allow Vodafone and etc sim cards to work)
other than this, are there any other main differences?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
i am currently in Hong Kong, there is a Streak offer (O2 unlocked version) and i would like to get it this week or so...
i am just afraid that the "3G/Data/HSPA" etc will not work... so i would like to know the locked/unlocked differences
i hope everyone could help me out and welcome me to the Dell Streak family
thanks all

basically no.
that is the major difference.
unlocked: use on any network
sim only from o2/cpw locked to o2
unlocked: minus any bloatware that o2 may put on their version.

thanks for the reply, but let me get this straight...
so the unlocked version which i will be getting, i will be able to use ANY SIM card and use the 3G/Data/HSPA provided too, right?
just to confirm myself, thanks

Thanks for answering my question too - I want to use the Dell Streak satnav in Spain with a local SIM (unless O2 offers a sweet deal on roaming rates with its Telefonica parent?? But I rather doubt it).

no guarantees on 3g unless hong kong uses the same 3g band.

How can I tell if my device is Sim Free

How can I tell if my device is Sim Free?
I bought it in the UK and when I put my sim in it (not a UK one) it worked.
Does it being simfree affect installing ROMS?
Thanks

That sounds sim free to me and you can put on any number of roms both stock and custom and it will always remain sim free.

If you put a none-UK sim into a UK phone and it works, then your phone is SIM Free.
Your phone being SIM free does not effect installing ROMS at all
You're good to go.

X+ AT&T SIM in a T-Mobile Nexus 4

I have to replace my AT&T One X+ today and am looking to get a Nexus 4 on my way home from T-Mobile, will my SIM just plug in and work? Or will I have to do anything else?

It most likely will but you may have to enter T-Mobile's APN in settings if it doesn't show up.

If your Sim is a standard size SIM then you will h ave to cut it down to a MICRO sim to fit into the Nexus 4. if its already a micro sim then you wont have a problem other than just using the tmobile APN settings.

NO. T-Mobile Nexus 4's are NOT factory unlocked. You have to buy it from Google if you're an AT&T user, and it does take micro SIMs.
Edit - OOPS. Sorry all.

Did you have to do anything special for it to work?

Got my nexus from trouble, put my sim in, and was on my way.

I believe, cause i experienced it by myself unfortunately ! I bought it, believing to people here in this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38939958#post38939958
that's factory "unlocked", but when i inserted my european micro-sim card in USA T-mobile Nexus 4 it woludn't accept, even some people wrote that for them worked USA T-mobile Nexus 4 in Europe, with european sim card!
I hope someone will have some good advice, to solve sim unlock for USA T-mobile Nexus 4.
Tnx!
****update
it was problem with micro-sim card and pin issue, tried with another sim card, and no problems, it's unlocked, and fixed gsm signal very fast with working micro-sim card here in Europe !
Apologize for wrong info!
