What I don't understand:
When trying to start the gsm function of the xda with a "foreign" sim-card it tells me to enter the Access-Code in order to unlock the phone.
In this case there must exist a certain defined code which lets you unlock everey xda.
I am asking myself if there has probably already been a clever person trying to get this code somehow. Or am I totally wrong and it is necessary even for O2 to connect the device to some sepcial equipment.
From my understanding every single phone/pda etc has its own unique unlock code, abit like a PUK code.
It is made up using digits from the phone number, SIM IMEI and the Device IMEI number, only the service provide i.e. Orange, O2, Vodafone will have the sequence for this.
Just use the XDA Unlock tool listed on the XDA Developers site.
Hope this helps
Mike
Unlocking
...or just try that with a serial cable connected to your XDA and have a terminal program (eg. Hyperterminal) running on your PC:
... some of these things are pretty easy
once you know the trick. For instance, if you just put the XDA
in bootloader mode and enter "dualser", followed by
"AT%UREG?3FE00C,4", you will see the SID unlock code. More news
about all the things we've learned will be available soon on our
GSM research page...

Write down this SID-Code and use it when you insert a foreign SIM-Card.
Greetings, Kaputter
I have a wallaby with the XDA special edition ROM, and I'm using it with the Telefonica operator in Chile.
I just made the connections settings for the internet settings as the Telefonica company told me:
Cellular Line (GPRS)
APN: web.tmovil.cl
and in the dialing locations tab, under dialing patterns I set up the phone number to be dialed: *99***1# in the "For International calls, dial". (this is the only place where I can set the dialing number)
the user is "web" an password "web"
I believe all is ok, but when I try to make a connection, the phone shows the following message:
Phone:
UNKNOWN APPLICATION ..... Is this message ok?
and after that, it shows a Trouble Connecting message:
"The answering modem has disconnected. Verify the phone number and then try again. To change your... "
Any help?
Thanks a lot
i got that message when i didnt select the GPRS line...but you've done that :?
I'm thinking tha may be the radio version. My device have the 6.18.0 version.
Any ideas????
Unknown Application solved
Finally I solved the problem changing the ROM version in my XDA.
I installed the A.30.09 ENG T-mobile version, with the same settings for Telefonica in Chile and every thing connected OK.
Dear friends of XDA-developers, what do you think about this?
I has to be something with the different systems between Europe and America???
I thought that that was impossible to cross network settings accross other carriers ie o2 over orange internet too but igotta thinking theoretics again an thought back to basics an realized a description change "ityhere" an there "an sum proppa details umite jus be able to piggy back it altho as previously stated iaint rooted an am unable atmo indespite phone comp sayin iusd 170gb data last month neityeedless say my endless searches for knowledge wud continue aslong as i new there is always a way for me to help others or improve possible security loops
Hello,
Here's some concrete work from the IMEI update project.
Please use the attached file and report your findings here.
Instructions:
1. Extract the ZIP
2. Run the file iWizard
3. Make sure ActiveSync is running and your phone is connected via USB
4. Make sure Windows Mobile has finished booting
5. Click "Next" in iWizard, let it work (shouldn't take more than 10 seconds)
Let us know:
1. If iWizard worked:
a. The model of your phone
b. The IMEI # and checksum codes if you like (you can PM for your security)
2. If iWizard failed:
a. How it failed
b. Any error messages, or screenshots of failure
c. The model of your phone
The goals of this alpha release are as follows:
1. To determine which HTC phone models work with our method
2. To determine the algorithm of the IMEI checksum codes so we can update
Thanks for your interest!
Don't get too excited - this alpha release does NOT change your IMEI yet. That is coming soon, as soon as we know which phone models the above method works on and is reliable with!
Note: The iWizard works great on my i-mate k-jam.
I tried this a minute ago.
My qtek 9100 is connected to my pc, can synchronise with active synch but I received the error message I attached.
I have spv m500, its synchronized with my pc, but I recive the same error as canstb said...
sorry for my first quick reply.
I was thinking that my qtek9100 was cid unlocked apparently it was not. I used the tool lokiwiz v2b to unlock it and ran your program again.
and here is the result.
Thanks, please keep the results coming in! We'll figure what the checksum alg. is and then fix your phones :lol:
Guys, I think you should PM Sinan rather then publically posting your IMEIs.
As we all know, cloning and changing IMEIs may be illegal in your jurisdiction; additionally, publically posting your IMEI is liable to end up with it being cloned by thieves not from this board etc. Not wise, so be careful, and please stay legal.
V
thanks for your warning.
sinan, I am deleting my attachment to my previous message. if you need the info again, just ask for it.
can anyone tell how to download lokiwiz, and how can i find out if my Magician iz CID locked or not?
and is there any tool for unlocking SPV m500 (magician)?
thnx
Yes, can you please PM it? Also, did the tool accurately detect your real IMEI?
Everyone, please PM your IMEI and checksums for security...or if you're not comfortable with that, please just say if the tool correctly detected your IMEI on your phone model, and report the phone model.
aWizard/Lokiwiz can be used to CID unlock phones, available here on this forum as well...pretty easy to find and use them, they're free tools as well.
You may need to downgrade your ROM first...
i used lokiwiz to unlock my device, now some other message appears, here is the pic... and the program doesent stop, it tries to find imei, but it seems like it will never stop...
Is this on Vista? Please see if it works on a regular XP box...if not, thanks for letting us know, be sure to try with the next alpha.
no its not vista, its just a theme for xp.
so you think there might be a solution for my device to?
Was the unlock successful with the CID unlock tool?
I think you may need to downgrade your ROM and CID unlock your tool first.
According to what I've read in another discussions, this tool would work only on devices that store IMEI on DOC chips
These are - nearly all smartphones produced by HTC, and communicators like HTC Wizard and Prophet. The tool would never work on HTC Himalaya, BlueAngel, Universal, etc.
You can easily determine would the tool work on your device or not. Just take the ROM update tool, extract it with WinRAR. If it has the file "radio_.nbf" - the tool would not work at all.
The tool should not be called "HTC IMEI Restore Wizard" as it does not support all HTC devices. It should be renamed to something like "HTC IMEI-on-DOC Editor tool".

it is easy to determ which models work, just buy all the HTC devices and try yourself and you will know. I am doing same thing, since i don't want risc affect any of the users phones.
chunky charly
Rascal you sound like a baby. We should try to help each other, not put each other down. And remember business is business! You couldnt have thought that you would be the only person that could provide a imei repare tool forever!!
Maybe now you will drop the price of your dongle or even better, make the program work without the dongle!!
Hopefully the release of mimar's tool will drive you to produce better things.
AFAIK the Wizard has a radio rom file, doesn't it? I've used the tool on my Wizard just fine.
Raskal, tale the suggestions of our good friends here - update your obsolete sales mechanism, get rid of the pkey dongle, that will probably be the only way for you to remain competitive.
Great work MimarSinan
thanks for share and not change a my device imei ..
my device : HTC Magician
device name: MDA Compact
Your device is CID unlocked, right?

The spv M500 is a Windows Mobile 2003SE device. As far as I am aware this tool is for Windows Mobile 5 devices.
Urgent matter. I bought a huawei P10 lite from another person, I performed a hard reset and when I finished I can't get any signal on my device. It reads no service or emergency calls only. I tried everything on the net but nothing. The code *#*#4636#*#* doesn't work. The code that does work is *#*#6130#*#* but it's not very helpful. Can anyone help me to turn the radio on. Which code are for this process. Please send me solutions because it's urgent because I can't use my device.
Most likely, the phone is Locked to some mobile carrier.
Unfortunately there is no free way to unlock it!!!
About 3 weeks ago I had the same problems with P8Lite.
Paid solution:
- Go to https://www.dc-unlocker.com/buy and buy 3 credits (3 Euro) and create new account
- After a successful payment on your email you will receive Username and Password (check the Spam folder)
- Download HCU Client - https://hcu-client.com/download/
- Login with your Username and Password
- Put your P10Lite in the Manufacture mode
- Type this: *#*#2846579#*#*
- Go to ProjectMenu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings -> Manufacture mode
- Then connect the phone to PC via USB cable
- Press Read Phone Info
- Go to tap Unlock and press Direct SIM Unlock
- Finally, on the right side you should see Unlock done and the phone will turn off
- Turn on your phone and it will be unlocked.
Tested and works on P8 Lite, HCU cliend support P10 Lite and you can unlock it.
I think that it isn't locked because I tried with 3 different sim cards each in different mobile network.
I am still waiting for solutions. Thank you.
Some problem with IMEI or OEMinfo maybe ?.. try flash new FW
Still the same problem. Does anyone knows the shortcut to engineer mode? The new code because I found on the net some old codes but they didn't work.
There is no engeneering mode in P10 lite.
But as I said, I'm almost sure that phone is locked. Ask the previous owner what SIM card (mobile carrier / country) was used.
There is one other menu that is ProjectMenu
Insert you SIM card and check you SIM Lock status:
*#*#2846579#*#*
ProjectMenu -> Network Information Query -> SIM Lock Info
If you get "SIMLOCK_DEACTIVATE" then all it's okay and your phone isn't locked. But that means you probably have other big problems!
Can your phone has physically malfunction? Sim slots problem?
Also why you didn't test the phone before buying it?
Have you thought about mobile repair service?
Still the same problem
I installed a new software using update option and I get signal for five minutes but I wasn't able to use it because it didn't connect to network, then the no service and emergency calls only appear, oscillating between sim cards. The sim cards used are in different mobile service.
If I install Oreo the problem could disappear?
If so can anyone send me the link that I can download and install using update.app method?
If not could you suggest me a different solution.
Now shows that it's charging but the percentage of the battery drops.
Could be the same software problem?
HELLO~Nice to meet all of you！
This is the first time I've been here.
Now my mobile phone can't connect to the network. The reason for his reason may be because I used the wrong brush before. Now my mobile phone displays the prompt imei status:ng under *#0011#. When inserting the SIM card, he Will prompt that it is not registered on the network, now in the Downloading mode is VOiD: 1, the system is U1, I suspect that my phone EFS file is damaged, I hope someone can help me, give me your EFS backup file and tell me your version of the system or if you feel that it is not the problem, you can tell me other solutions!
thank you very much！
