Can someone unlock my XDA sim for me across the counter. I am more comfortable walking in and out with it instead of sending it through post. Also could not do it myself since was not too familier.
If somone could help me would be really grateful. Please send me an email at [email protected]. I am in UK (obvious)..he he.
unlocking..
Usually it's not the SIM that needs the unlocking, but the phone. If the SIM is locked (when your tried the wrong PIN three times), you need the so-called PUK-code from the cellular provider. No way around this.
Usually when people seek 'unlocking' they want a locked phone (i.e. it will only accept SIMs from one or a small set set of providers) to be set free to accept any SIM.
Let us know where in the UK you are based. Just might be able to help you

thanks

ps has anyone had any luck with obtaining the unlock code outside of t mobile??
Maybe not what you were after zetex but I flashed the 1.48 ROM over my T Mobile HD2 via the goldcard method.
Result unbranded/unlocked HD2 with all the HTC apps reinstated that T Mobile decided to remove i.e you tube, jetcet printer, co pilot trial
hi
updated just had the second one come back to me with a refund

your could be my saving star..... i will have a look into that
i didnt realise by updating the rom using the goldcard method actually unlocked the phone as welll...
is this true, i dont mind flashing it at all... just want it to work on o2
thanks alot
Z
Your best option would seem is to upgrade your ROM to unbranded 1.48 via goldcard?
That's what I have done from O2 ROM. I'm sure it would work for T Mobile.
I just changed my sim and it doesnt unlock my phone it is still tied to O2 sorry
hi,
i may sound stupid, but are you sure that t-mob uk devices has a netlocked?. i only ask because german t-mob devices arent netlocked at all. the only (stupid) thing t-(in)mobile germany does, was to lock the internet connection. so you can dialin only via them, but that could be fixed by simply using the goldcard method to update to a nice brandingfree rom.
regards mad
hi
so by flashing it using an unbranded rom with a goldcard does not unlock it??
really sorry im all new to this??
thanks alot
Z
hi,
maybe we are talking about different things. but for me unlocking means removing the sim/netlock. so that after unlocking, i can use any sim from any provider i like, to make phonecalls etc..
what happens if you put a simcard from a different provider to your hd2? can you use your phone to call someone? if so your phone is not sim/netlocked anyhow.
mad
Hi, I was wondering the same a Madbird, as I bought a Tmobile HD2 a couple of weeks ago, and was very pleased when i realised it didnt have a tmobile badge on, and when i tried my Virgin sim it worked fine. Maybe I just struck lucky!
Use www.your-unlock.com It's what I used for mine and it worked no trouble, just put your other sim in and turn it on and it will ask you for an unlock code, enter the one that site e-mails you.

just got an email from this company and they have failed to get me unlock code....
not looking very good at the moment.... looks good in the box though...

This works for T-Mobile UK
Try unlockdata.co.uk. They generated a code which I was able to enter into my HD2 to allow all networks..

Hey, I got a T-Mobile UK HD2 also. I have also just submitted my code to Your-Unlock.com. Well after seeing your post I would not expect much. Anyway I did a search and found this guy on E-Bay. Thinking of giving him a try. Has some good reviews also. Check it out let me know what you think. This is what the add says "Unlock HTC HD2 Leo T-Mobile O2 3 UK Code = FAST"
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Unlock-HTC-HD...QptZUK_Phones_Software_RL?hash=item1c0e880071
just been to the shops to try unlock but they said none would be available until next 2 weeks.
Anyone with better luck
id be interested to hear from anyomne also as am about to recieve my hd2 from t-mobile on monday - any successful unlock codes, or any successful flashing of the rom to get the hd2 sim unlocked? im assuming i will recieve the phone locked to t-mobile but will update in case it arrives unlocked.
Well I have not found a solution as yet. Tried a guy on ebay but seems he's unable to unlock also. Anyone has any luck unlocking the t-mobile uk hd2 online?
Guys, maybe a bit of stupid question, but...
When I power on the device, without a sim, there's no menu, just a red cross for the emergency calls. And that's all.
Is developers from SE mentally retarded for not providing offline operating mode, or all others mobile brands (htc, nokia, siemens...) are stupid that they allow users using the full capabilities of their gadgets even when there's no SIM inside it?
Thinking that 1GHz of CPU WLAN,GPS,BT etc... is far more than simply a low class mobile handset made just for in/out going calls.
And about the fonts? There's no option changing the size.
Is this really a SE problem and not Android related then? I've not looked into the matter as of now couse i'm on the bus. But i know you can do what you ask on WM phones, so this might be an Android error.

I've noticed this isue for all of SE phones (Not Working Without a SIM!). It's a kind of tradition, or a company policy for SE to lock their phones with a sim card.
Nexus One could be used without a sim, as most of the HTCs even under android. For windows mobile I am sure that it's ok without a sim. It'll take ages for SE developers to rewrite the kernel instructions on WM to lock it for SIM.
Don't use an Android phone without a sim card if you want paid apps appear in the Android market. Otherwise you will only have the option of the free ones.

I have found something about the problem:
android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/using-adp1-without-sim-card.html
Maybe it is usefull and for SE X10i.
May I ask some one to test it, 'cause I still can not install phone drivers.
Get the phone unlocked and you will be able to use it offline. When I got my Rogers branded one, it was doing the exact thing which really sucked cause Im not with Rogers. So once I unlocked it, you can use it offline.
There's an app on the market called "wosim" which allows you to use the phone without a SIM. I know this works because my friend downloaded and used it. I was like, what app is this? and he showed me..
Unlock and or debrand it and it will work fine without a sim. Mine does
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
If I debrand or reflash the guarantee falls out.
Unfortunately i'm unable even to start the phone because it is operator locked and I don't have the proper sim. It is a client phone and he insist on its guarantee. And I understand him, most of the hi-tech gadgets - especially expensive ones - are complete crap and replicas in my country.
I saw that wosim require root access.
Is it possible to make a firmware backup?
And how to distinct X10a from X10i? I mean is it written somewhere in the phone or model info, inside the service menu?
wosim doesn't require root access...
how to install wosim? As I see the only way is from gmarket. But I don't have a wifi router around me and the X10i could not connect to ad-hoc networks so I can reroute my network traffic to the phone.
Can not insert a SIM card - the phone rejects it.
May I ask if someone could post wosim for me?
This:
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/using-adp1-without-sim-card.html
doesn't work on X10i.
When trying sqlite3, it brings error sqlite3: Not Found
and when trying to copy settings.db it brings Permission denied. Which leads me to thinking that su is not working properly on my phone
Set it up in flight mode...

Flight mode does not provide no good if there's no sim inside, or not the correct one. Just brings me to Emergency Call.
Hi,
Really sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum.
I own a HD7 locked to O2 and my wife has an Omnia 7. I love the looks feel and screen of the Omnia 7 so I bought one that is locked to Orange. I need to get it unlocked so I can use my O2 sim in it. I have tried a few of the usual folks advertising for £19.99 etc. but they all say they can't unlock the Omnia 7/Orange combination, so I'm stumped.
Is there anywhere I can go or anything I can download to unlock this lovely little phone please?
I would try asking Orange themselves, worth a shot, u may even get it for free.
Sorted
Sorted, SRS Tools and £12.50 did the trick It would be nice to remove the Orange branding from the ROM tho :O

Where's the best, cheapest and legitimate place to unlock my Orange Uk Omnia 7?
UPDATE: Just googled SRS Tools and now unlocked my phone.
Whats this SRS Tools you speak of?
I need to unlock my T-Mobile UK omnia 7
Here you go: unlocksamsungonline dot eu/unlocksamsung/I8700
You have the option of two ways, the first is via a USB cable which is £12.50 and is almost instant. Or you can request an unlock code for £16 which can take 2-3 days.
I'm just about to unlock my T-Mobile Omnia 7, so I'll let you know how it goes. Just waiting for my phone to charge.
Just let you know that it worked flawlessly (via cable method). Make sure you read the instructions they give you very carefully.
Also, it will ask once it has unlocked whether you would like the device re-setting. I said yes.
Once you are up and running with your new sim, don't forget to setup your APN, plus download the Network Profile app from Samsung on the Marketplace so you can set the MMS settings. When I opened the profile app it had my O2 settings there already so just clicked on it. MMS is working perfectly.
I have bought a new Tmobile G2 with Google from ebay and got it unlocked . However, this phone does is not able to connect to any Service in India..including Vodafone Mumbai, which is on 900 mhz. Here are the HTC Phone details: Model: Tmobile G2 with Google; Network and Country : TMobile USA; When I click on Search for Networks, I get an error message: "Error while searching for networks". When I click on Select automatically, it gives error "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later".
According to HTC support, this phone should work in India also as it is Quad band. Contacted T-Mobile support too but they were not of much help and asked me to get it to theie service centre.
Would appreciate any help to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.
Not an expert but what if you put a apn setup for the data on it and try search again?

Did you unlock using Gfree (root)?
There was an issue with when you unlocked your G2 using an unlock code you got no service, just go root it and it will also unlock your phone (network) and your issue will be resolved.
I was in the same boat as you except when the was no fix for a couple of weeks! Hope this helps.
Oh yea that could be it I rooted that way and have my phone unlocked but I have T-Mobile in the USA i did it that way to kill to birds with one stone lol. try that and do what the other poster did and let up know if that works for you ill look around to see if there was anyone sled with this problem.

Yeah, it's a known issue that unlock codes are hit-or-miss with this phone. When they work, it's as easy as any other phone. When they don't work, the phone stops connecting to any network (including the original one it was on). Most of the unlock companies didn't acknowledge this when the phone first came out either (not sure if that has changed now). I had one dealer adamantly tell me his codes were all working until I had him actually try it himself and it messed up his phone...
As stated earlier though, using gfree to get subsidy unlock will fix the issue. Just follow the guide in the Wiki.
I got the unlock code from T-Mobile and did not get any error message while unlocking the phone.

Hi
none off us got an error when unlocking using a T-Mobile ore second source unlock code.
The phones says successfule, reboots but some of us ended up with a corrupted sim-lock data in the partition 7.
That was the reason why we went for radio S-OFF - to be able to remove the corrupted sim-lock data.
The result of this work is gfree. See the XDA-wiki for the G2/DZ/vision on how to use gfree. This will repair your phone.
Have fun - Guhl
