Is there a software or any tricks to by-pass the phone lock (password) on the T-Mobile MDA? I'm new at this, if there is a way please show me step by step. thanks in advance.
: Best Regards Babysheep :
Have you tried a hard reset or a new rom?
If you mean the simlock: search for a thread on "lokiwiz", that enables you to remove the simlock from your phone and CID unlock your phone so you can flash another ROM on it. If you are talking about the password, do a hard reset or flash a new ROM on it.
I think I'm getting the same problems as the OP. I also bought a MDA off ebay, that's still locked to T-mobile, but I dont have a T-mobile SIM card. So I can't use the "lokiwiz" program because I can't even access the OS. I also cant get my IMEI number for the same reason. So I can't buy a code online. So I'm stuck. I'm also not in the US so I can't borrow my friend's SIM to unlock it or anything like that. Would flashing the MDA to a new rom stop this? I'll appreciate any help, thanks.

Hi, first off, how do you do a hard reset? and I tired new rom but I am not sure if i did it right or not . I have just read the in t-mobile site to perform a hard reset but due to phone lock, i can not hit start and go into settings.. Please help! I know this is not a sim lock. The phone is asking for a 4 digit phone lock password.. any ideas?
For a hard reset you need to hold the comm-button on the upper left corner of the phone and the camera-button on the right side of the phone while it boots up. the esiest way is to do a soft reset and then hold the two buttons till you get the installation screen on your phone.
I think this thread is a bit confusing, since there are two locks being discussed in here right now.
babysheep is having troubles with the password that is set by the previous owner, that can be solved by the hard reset as said by freezor. His advice is a fine way to hard reset, the T-Mobile way has the same results, but is not possible due to the password. Use freezor's method and you should be ok.
Jugges is having simlock problems. Can you contact the seller to ask for the IMEI code? Alternatively, you can perhaps buy a T-Mobile prepaid SIM, although I am not sure that would work. Perhaps prepaid SIMs are also locked from the phone. Flashing a new ROM will NOT affect the SIMlock, so that is no option for you. Perhaps you better post your problem in the lokiwiz thread, perhaps they can help you better than we can here.
I think I should have read into Lokiwiz deeper. I didnt realize that you can still sync with your computer when there is no SIM installed. This allowed me to install the Lokiwiz cab, and unlock it. So everythings working now. Thanks for the help.
Hard Reset
I am also attempting a hard reset; the problem when I do the soft reset while holding the com and picture buttons, the screen that appears is 3 wide horizontal bands colored red, green, and blue. The only text is IPL 1.08, then a little below that is SPL 1.08. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to the forum. (See! I was nice!)
Telling us that 'something went wrong' isn't really enough for us to go on.
You need to describe exactly what happens to your Ameo when you power it up, so we can give the correct advice. What do you see on the screen?
sorry lol
when i do the hard reset it does the usb boot screen but goes to a gray screen that asks me to format microdrive and then flash it. i think the op system been wipped but i cant get it to the rainbow usb boot screen for active sync to fix it
You can get it into bootloader mode by holding down the comm manager and camera buttons, then soft resetting.
From there you can re-install WM6. If you didn't succeed in unlocking the unit, you'll need to use the T-Mo compatible version of WM6 which you can find here - http://uploaded.to/?id=wbbw2u
T-Mobile MDA USA weird, "fixies" dont work, stuck in "press send to restore"
Hi, sorry for my poor English is not my first language
I have a T-Mobile MDA USA and happened a weird thing, my phone works properly, was CID unloked and sim unloked with TNT_5.0_Wizard_TouchFLO ROM but 3 days ago I put the USB (PC)to charge the battery, lately when I back to pickup my phone I see in the screen of the phone open and close or put an quit windows explorer(mobil) repetitively, i try to close manually tapping in the "X" but explorer continues opening, then I see in the bar where you put the web address the number "3" and "8" was typing continuously, like when you hold pressing the buttons, but nothing was pressing or making pressure to do that, since I cant close the explorer with the "X" I turn off the phone, when I turn on instead to load normally, appears the Align Screen and for some reason will not recognize the Screen Tapping to align the screen, so, I turn off/on again, but in this time shows a black screen with "Press Send to Restore Factory Defaults, Other Key to Quit" in withe letters, it is stuck in there since, before to put this tread I have read this forum and still I am lost, because i do a Soft Reset or Hard Reset #1,#2,#3, I enter into a bootloader mode to re-flash the ROM with CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE ... IPL/SPL 1.01 and when finish to flash, its suppose the phone restart and windows loading but instead that I get again the same black screen with "Press Send to Restore Factory Defaults, Other Key to Quit" in withe letters, ok, maybe with other recently ROM, then I enter into a bootloader mode to re-flash the ROM... AGAIN... but now with ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship... IPL/SPL 2.26 ... and AGAIN I get the same black screen with "Press Send to Restore"... I try to press send key always, but nothing happens, is still stuck there always, I could not get past that, I would really appreciate any help. Thank you so much.
I hate to ask this, at the risk of sounding too obvious, but are you sure that it was CID unlocked properly? I have a Cingular 8125 with IPL/SPL 2.25 and I know it was a hell of an effort to get it CID unlocked, five or six tries before it worked properly and I was able to flash successfully.

yes was CID unlocked properly, I do it with lokiwiz02b like 3 moths ago and I use Wizard Service Tool to see was really unlocked, I could flash any ROM since was unlocked I could use crosbow,faria, Molski even TNT.20273_Professional ROM's but I prefer use TNT_5.0_Wizard_TouchFLO because I feel my phone works more stable and speedy... searching in treads I see Im not the only one with the same problem (stuck in a black screen with the legend " Press Send to restore factory default, other keys to quit" in white letters) but in that treads no one get answer how fix this problem or how get out of the black screen.
like I say before I could put my phone in bootloader mode and re.flash the ROM wherever I want to try running ROMUpdateUtility and always I reach 100% then, when its suppose the phone restart and you will see the windows logo or T-mobile, don't happen that, instead I see the famous black screen with white legend, so the legend says me "press send"... I press send, or any key and nothing happens... I read in other treads when you press send the phone formating but this is not the case, just don't do nothing,.... realy I need some help here
thanks
Hey!
I have the same problem as described above. I've been using CR96 Touch HD WM 6.1 with soft SPL unlock for couple of months with no problems until tonight when I noticed that my phone is hanged. I did a soft reset, but the phone gets stucked at "press send to restore factory default, other keys to quit" screen. At that none of the buttons work, soft resetting just puts it back to this screen, the same goes for taking the battery out. There have been no software or registry changes within weeks - just using basic phone functions. Is there any way how to fix this or what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance
I Have an orange branded touch dual, its unmodified in any way, i installed the spb mobile shell version 2.1 to the fone memory, i was playin arround with the tabs on the home screen trying to put my orange options in one of the tabs, i was given a warning that it wasnt compatible wiv this software but i acciently selected ok!!
now when i boot my fone up it boots to the home screen n then freezes the screen or the buttons wont work so im unable to navigate to the hard reset option, i tried to connect to active synk to flash a new rom but it connect 4 a second then disconnects

Hello XDA, recently bought myself a leo. I turn the phone on it displays the loading screen etc, then the inital HTC Sense screen, it then immediatley goes to a page saying "Network is locked, please input unlock code"
Now i've tried to code on my sim, no dice, i've reset the phone to factory and tried it, no luck. I phoned virgin and they said its a faulty device and i should exchange it.. Now being my birthday and im inpaitent i don't wanna wait for them to change it.. is there a way i can flash the ROM or something? Doesn't in need HSPL installed?
Any help would be appricated.
My HD2 on Virgin came totally unlocked (can use any SIM) with standard HTC ROM.
Does sound like yours has a problem.
hmm, weird so theres no way to get around it?
