Hello mates, I have very interesting question to all you. Just I get one activation code from MS and attached to my WP7, so after the day I shared the same code to my friend and he also attached on his WP7 successfully.
The Live IDs are different, however it works on my and his device simultenously. How you think, it is possible that his phones any data or mine was shared to each other by system?
Asking reason of such question is that, it seems that when he is installing any software on his phone appears on my WP7. How you think what is happanening? Have you any experience with such situation or not? Just write your suggestions.

hello I have been searching the web for a little while now and find it hard to believe there is NO possible way around carrier unlocking a tmobile hd2. Is the only possible way to get the code from tmobile? even if andriod is used?
just seems wierd maybe someone can explain it to me why its impossible if we control the radio versions, roms, totally different software like andriod ...im just stumped. I dont want to wait to use my phone.
Bumpppppppppppppppppppppppp
The only way to do it is with the unlock code.
As you said, you can either get this from your provider (possibly), or you can google it and use a paid online service. Be wary though, and look for customer reviews before shelling out. There's some dodgy ones.
Good luck
I had the same question i was looking to see if there was a software unlock. Since they said once you HardSPL would do it but people said it didnt work.
HSPL means you can flash any ROM onto the device. It unlocks it in that manner, not in the Network manner. You'll still need a code to do that (as well as a SIM chip from another provider).
Ok i didnt find this searching but please dont kill me if i missed it..I was wondering i Have WP7 running perfect on my hd2 with live services all working but i want to relaod so i can android dula boot option can i use my WP7 activation code again or will i have to call again...Thx in advance
Did it, too. Worked without problems.
I used my activation code for 2 different email addresses. I couldn't change Zune country, so had to make another account. But it all went fine.
you should be good i reflashed the rom about 5 times and activating each time with the same activation code
that shouldnt be a problem
Blimey I have activated WP7 probably 8-10 times now
Well, basically, I contacted MS Chat support through a Hotspot Shield proxy, I'm an UK user and used an US mobile number and fake email address, didn't give out any information other than those two things.
I wasn't asked for a model number, not HTC, HD7 or any thing, no IMEI number, and so on. What I've learned today is a mistake everyone else is making when activating the HD2 is that they are telling MS that they have a HD7. The activation code is universal for all WP7 phones so it wouldn't matter if you said it was an HTC phone or an LG one, it's the same thing.
What's everyone elses view? Should people be more smarter and give a different model number next time rather than making Microsoft suspicious by saying you have a HD7?
Edit: Also, I apologise if there is already a thread on this, if so, close this one and point me in the right direction.
dude waste thread ..
every body know all of these .. that happened is your luck
random question asked .. you may got a beginner ...
Yeah, I didn't say HD7, I just said my windows phone 7 is asking for an activation code and I can't seem to find it.
some times they ask which make .. what model , IMEI etc ...in that case normally every body do disconnect the call ... i did twice
me i dont have that problem my activation code works every time i flash
Thing is, I see _alot_ of people telling MS they have a HD7, why don't they say they have another type of phone rather than get Microsoft suspicious?
I don't think it's people saying that they have an HD7 that makes them suspicious, it's the fact they are asking in the first place....when you buy a windows phone you don't need the code, it's only when you hard reset etc that you have to enter one....so whether or not you say HD7 doesn't really make any difference.....if you're in the uk and they tell you to "contact your regional service center (sic)" you just tell them you already have and they told you since you bought the phone in the US you should contact them.

No luck with that, the agent still insist me to contact my local service centre then disconnected me Maybe cause its 3am in the US the time I contacted them
Going to try this.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Quick question...I read a lot about the code and asking for it as well as that IF too many people use the same code they have a problem. The question is...what is a friend has a HTC 7 Trophy that's already activated and then phones in for a code...if they as for the IMEI number give that phones number. Will they lose their previous code and have to use the new one given or are the free one free to use for another phone. In other words...the live id is someone else's when asking for the code but in-case details are requested a current phones details are given...if all that makes sense
Hi guys,
have an A501 from at&t currently in 3.2 and kernel 2.636.3 (stock) and need to unlock it. The key point is it aint prompt for unlock code when the non accepted sim card is inside. Only the message invalid sim. Have n one ran into this prob would gimme a clue?

Hello,
Unfortunately, the ATT 501 only has 3g when under an ATT network. There is no "unlock code" available, as they are generated by ATT based on the specific tablet's IME code. You will find this information on the Sim/Sd card cover along with serial number. Basically, they run the IME code in their generator, and it spits out the unlock code.
The bad thing, is that you have to deal with ATT Support several times, before they will give the unlock code.It's the only way to get it.
You can try Acer support, however, I believe they will eventually send you to ATT support. But you can start there.
Lately, ATT states the first time you e-mail them, that as of August 20, they no longer provided the unlock code. This is not true.
You have to e-mail them, several times. Always include your serial number and the IME code on that cover I told you about. Don't let them win.
But remember, always be nice to them, explain the situation, and I believe eventually they will give you the unlock code. Just remember, be nice and include the information with every e-mail. And if that doesn't work, ask them to "escalate" the issue to a higher person. This procedure has worked several times in the past, and may take a month. Just be calm about it.
Good luck to you.

Hey Guys,
Moscow Desire - I read your other post about unlocking a501 couple months ago, it just took me a while before I got myself to write ACER an email. I pretty much anticipated the game of back and forth communication to unfold as you described, however at the beginning of this month I got the response that: "As of 8/21/12, AT&T will not be supplying the unlock codes for the A501 tablets. Therefore we will no longer be able to process your request." I just wrote them a second email to see how it will play out, as you mentioned earlier, persistence is probably the key here. On the other hand I figured that I’d start the process with AT&T since it's a slow one!!!
So, the question to anyone reading, do you guys have a direct customer support email to AT&T??? (one that actually works or one through/from which you communicated with AT&T)
Any additional info from anyone with experience or further down in the process is welcomed.
I'll keep an update on how things are progressing.
Thanks!
Hi, I own a Samsung S7, International version ( SM-G930F ). Wanted to unlock it to use it with other companies, and did some research in order to be able to unlock it manually (I used to unlock all phones by my own, this one is harder that usual).
Well, this might be a new phone and a solution may not be present here yet, but I know that some programs allow you to read the SIM unlock codes from the phone z3x allows you to do that, Octopus and ChimeraTool too, among others.
So... it really may be possible to do this manually.. rooting the phone, of course..
I know that the S4 allows you to do this quite simply:
just opening a terminal and typing:
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 [enter]
to get the UN_Lock_code, and then performing some calculation using the IMEI number and the UN_Lock_code, followed by some further really simple ordering algorithm, you can find the full algorithm here.
That being said, if we could get the UN_Lock_code from the S7, the algorithm may even be the same.
The bad news is that /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 doesnt even exist on the S7 file system, so obviouly they somehow improved the security on this phone, but the tools mentioned above are able to get this unlock codes anyway, so it surely exists a way to read them from the phone in some other way.
If you are a developer working on any of these tools, or have the knowledge to investigate this on your own, please give me your feedback ! People here on xda and all over the world will appreciate a solution:
Doing this manually obviously requires some skills to root the phone in the first place, maybe install the terminal or use ADB, so the unlocking business wont be affected at all.. and it avoids trouble with unlocking companies that give wrong codes and dont refund.
So I only see advantages in this. Thanks a lot to the developers that give this issue a try, I maid my own little research and I think that getting the UN_Lock_code or SIM unlock codes is really possible in the S7 Exynos.
Good luck, and any feedback will be greatly appreciated !
In the UK once you've had your phone for 6 months the carrier has to give you the unlock code IIRC
I'm with o2 and the o2 app has a setting to unlock the phone with a warning that you must still honour the remainder of your contract

Yep I know that some carriers are able to get the codes from the manufacturer, samsung in this case, and even have their own DB of unlock codes for each of their IMEI numbers, this codes are then compared to the ones in the phone, if the code matches any of the codes in the phone, then it unlocks, else counter is incremented.
This thread is about getting the unlock codes from the phone, as some applications do, such as z3x, Octopus, ChimeraTool.
The question is: If this tools are able to get the codes inmediately from the phone, which file are they accessing inside the phone, and which further steps are they performing
The reasoning behind all this is that if all of these tools can do it in some seconds, then we can do it.
I'm actually looking for some explanation, similar to the S4 thread linked above. Or failing that, where can we investigate further to finally get this information.
Thanks a lot !
EDIT: Maybe this is not the best section, but this discussion is related to Samsung S7 EEPROM and filesystem layout, reverse-engineering and investigation.
