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:
any news yet...
hi..noob here...
this seems a hot topic... are we any nearer to unlocking the XDAII...
must be someone, somewhere...
hopefully...

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 :-(

Can remove simlock from HTC Kovsky - Xperia - and from any other HTC devices.
This service is not free.
You will get unlock code in 5 minutes to 72 hours.
It will costs 50$ = 34EUR = 27GBP by donation to xda-developers.com - http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php
Please send me a Private Message for details.
P.S. you do not need to reflash, disassembly, hard reset your device!

Hi,

*Whistle*
Yeah, C'mon get it tupisdin
Unlocked my Xperia for 18 euros.

Yes we all know there is another site called HTCCODE which also unlocks by code.
I left the first post mentioning htccode, but removed the others.
Now stop spamming the above mentioned site, we know it already!
But feel free to open another thread to discuss HTC code.
hey OP, does this sim unlock also security unlock? I'm already sim unlocked from the factory, all i need is a security unlock...

No. All this services provide unlock code only and it does NOT reset/read security code
Anyway all services listed here are little bit expensive. You better try my friend from www.fastgsm.com. It's cheapest and it is directly from source - not a reseller
Unlock code not supported by provider
Hey all

I think it gets unlocked if you install the Unofficial/Official firmware updates such as the latest one I9000XWJM2.
it would be great,but are you sure ?im kinda newbie at this ...im afraid not to break it.
It wont unlock it I thing, just change the settings

I am not 100% sure, however, I am sure that you won't breat your mobile if you follow the correct steps, it's worth a try.
ok..i'll wait for new replies if no viable solution appears i will go to a gsm service.
I cannot test it, but flashing Generic Firmwares may unlock your phone. You could first root the device, do a backup with ROM Manager/ClockworkMod then flash the JM2 Firmware and see if it's unlocked.
If not, restore the backup with ROM Manager and unroot your device.
I don't think is a big deal and better then going to a "gsm service"
Good Luck.
I think that your first action should be to contact your service provider, Orange, and ask if they will provide an unlocking code. Most providers will provide an unlock code for about £15 or £20, although some insist that you have had the phone for a specified time.
I'm pretty sure flashing a generic firmware will not unlock the phone. I would definitely try orange first, though when my dad got a phone unlocked in the past they made him wait 3 months first and charged him £15.
you can obtain an unlock code there http://cellunlocker.net/
its 25$ i am sure orange will cash much more for this...
tried all solutions..soft related...i called orange too and they didn't gave me the code in the end i went to a service and unlocked it there (50$) kinda pricey for a unlock code but i had no remaining solutions,thanks for your replies guys
Cheers
It's too late for you, but someone in another forum reported that his simlock went away after flashing JP3 on his phone.
Orange do SIM-unlock handsets, but they require that you're at least 3 months into your contract with a new handset before they will do so.
They charge £20 for the privilege, which is applied to your bill. If you have a pre-paid handset, you need to have this amount as credit on your bill before they'll order the code.
It can take some time - a couple of weeks - for them to send the code to you. I think this varies by handset.
In my experience with HTC handsets, so this is obviously may differ for Samsung, flashing a new ROM will NOT SIM-unlock your device.
I had a new HTC Desire from Orange and was going abroad immediately on a business trip. They refused to SIM-unlock it for me, so I found someone on eBay offering unlock codes, and for the princely sum of US$9, had an unlocked phone that I was able to use with a local SIM card within 5 hours.
(Side note: Orange lied and screwed me over the contractual terms, so I cancelled the contract on them and returned the handset, switched to Vodafone, and now have the SGS!)
A friend of mine has an x10 by vodafone. He recently bought it from their store. He also bought a unlockcode by vodafone (legal). So good, so far!
BUT - when he entered another simcard in the phone to start the unlockprocedure - he put in the pincode instead of the unlockcode. (he is not that technical). After 5 times of trying the phone is now locked for unlocking. One says the phone has now to be unlocked by software meyhod and can not be unlocked by code anymore.
Softwaremethod is not available. Can someone give me any advise how to handle to get the option back to put in the unlockcode again?!
flashing? anything else?
Take it back to the store and get them to do it, if they can't use a simple unlock code then I can't see them being any good with a software method.
sounds like its been accidentally locked you need a PUK key to unlock it ....(if its not stolen..not saying it is!) then the service provider should supply this PUK override code to allow you to change it to a more easiky remembered code

It sucks to see people having problems with unlocking their phones...but wait! here's you're lucky day Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731240&page=4 and go to post #38 and you'll find the answer. I was one of them who got the phone for a week, tried almost all of the online remote unlocking services and didn't work, bought the manufacturer's code and entered it too many times that the phone counter-blocked itself. Anyway...long story short, I was able to unlock my phone with HTCCode.com. I don't have anything to do with their website, but they were the only place that could unlock my phone, and trust me I had three other buddies from this forum that had the same problem but unlocked the phone with them. If you have any problems, pm and I'll try to help. You should read the thread I sent you first and you'll understand, but if you can't wait, click on the link on post #38 and talk to HTCCode directly. They are friendly and very helpful. Good luck buddy, give me feedback too

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the keypad to enter the service info and then check (sim lock) (network) , if there is a "X" mark in the square box on the left then it is locked. The number to the extreme right indicates the number of tries left.
Post results here, preferably with a screenshot.

Your phone has a netlock. Contact the seller of the phone
Unfortunately the phone is Network locked, and there are two possibilities to unlock it:
1. Ask the UK operator, it should be for free if the phone has been under contract but has been payed fully
2. Buy the unlock code, it doesn't come cheap, I've been reading on this community about and many have recommended this htccode.com

I already buyed the code from same store where the phone was buyed, but its not accepting it...
My other option is to send it back to the store, but i don`t wana wait 1-2 mounths for the phone to come back...
If i change the rom it is posible to work or even to accept the code?
Don't keep entering the number because you have only 5 tries, after that it cannot be recovered. No changing the Rom will not do anything.
I'm very sorry but I don't see any other possibility.
I remember one time I sim unlocked a galaxy note 2 of At&t without a code, if you want to take a look on that solution I will leave you the link, maybe you can replicate the same on Xperia Z.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...317-att-samsung-galaxy-note-2-on-jelly-bean-4
The counter is already down to 0. It won't accept any code. I'm sorry to say that but there's not much you can do about it
