Tmobile's Own Unlock Code Not Working on Mda Pro?!

hey guys, in a bit of a pickle here so would appreciate some advice.
Last week i called tmobile, and requested an unlock code for my mda and today ive finally recieved a letter with instructions to unlock.
I've followed them religiously, and yes the imei on the letter does match my own, so let's see :
1. Turn phone on with non tmobile sim (done with vodafone)
2. Phone will state network locked , enter the code : ********** which is a match for your imei
3. The phone will acknowledge the simlock is removed and then reboot your phone and it will be unlocked.
The problem is, that instead of lettting me enter the code right away , i get : You've tried 5 times - wait til timeout! and yet i dont recall ever trying more than once! :?: :?:
So i wait til the timeout (this was my 4th shot) and entered the code to find there isnt enough room in the character box to enter all digits of the code, i can only enter around 11 of the 14 of them.
So foolishly i thought meh, entered the entire code despite realising it wouldnt take the last 3 digits and then another shot wasted so now ive got You've Tried 5 times, and the timeout is like 10 minutes
I cannot afford to keep getting this wrong, and do not understand why this is not working. Anybody out there got any ideas:
This is the code (DONT TRY IT ON YOUR OWN MDA WITH FALSE HOPE, IT's IMEI GENERATED) i was just wondering if anyone could see why it wont take the full code:
0050486*** the last three stars dont fit into the simlock app box!
Really am desperate guys. On the bottom of the letter it mentions in smallprint (do not attempt to un simlock this phone more than three times) but as i havent, and yet it somehow clocks three attempts, it's not my fault!
Any help is much appreciated via post, PM or IM

Hey guys i'm new at this... But the topic here is the same as my problem. I've recently just got a SoftBank X01HT Jp Did the following as instructed -Downgrade-radio-ROM. All went well, after a few mistakes. But when i placed a sim it showed Simlock and mine shows you've tried 25 times. how long would that take? Is there another way? I tried waiting for 24 hours & still nothing. =(
Please help...

T-Mobile UK Unlock

Hi, anyone go the code yet, as I just got mine, a 9 digit code which does not work. The Ameo appears to only want 8 digits, so I tried the last 8 as the first digit appears a little different to the others, none work.
The number TM give in the letter for problems is out of order, and a patronising women on 150 is about as much use as tits on a frog.
Any one able to post (or PM) me the code you got so I can compare and see if any combo of mine will work.
Also, anyone know how many attempts are allowed, I am up to 3 so far and the TM letter says you should only make 3....

As far as I'm aware, unlock codes for any phone are linkd to your IMEI so will be no generic code that will unlock your phone.
Persevere through 150, speak to supervisors, team leaders, managers scream, shout etc.
Try and get them now whle they can still help, you can get your arse they're not gonna help if you lock out the phone by using more attempts than they tell you to.

Sure, I understand that they are specific, just want to know if other people got 8 digit or 9 digit.
Am doing the other stuff, am am awaiting a call back from the directors office now.

I got a code with 8 digits.

Still waiting...
Hi,
I'm still waiting for my code. Can anyone tell me how long they waited for their T-Mobile UK unlock code?
When it comes I'll let you know how it works......
Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the comments, I phoned the head office number given on www.saynoto0870.com and was put through to the Directors office.
A nice lady said "oh, the unlock team sit right next to me" let me call you back.
She did so a few mins later and we discovered that the code I was given had an extra digit in the middle and once we knew this I waited for the device to come back and ask for the code, and all was well.
So we at least know you can have 4 attempts without a problem.
Oh, the code came by post in a T-Mobile envelope and took about 3 weeks.

it took 15 mins
3 minutes to get through the machine
2 minutes for me to tell her my hd7 is asking for a code
2 minute for her to generate the code
8 minutes for her to tell methe code and for me to enter it in my phone.

I called and got a code but it is not working? I get an error saying activation code not valid, but am 100% sure I got the key correct as I had the person on the phone repeat several times while I wrote it down.
The Microsoft rep. told me up front that if it doesn't work it's a technical issue with the phone and sounded suprised when I told her "it worked" (had no signal).
"About phone" says HD7, Any ideas? Should I assume the key is wrong or is the authenication on the phone when I'm connecting not validating me as a genuine device?

have you edited your "hd7"s registry?

if you had, and i quote "no signal" theres another issue at hand. You need to be on wifi or have celuar data service enabled.

You have the do the registry edits to change your model into a hd7... there are tutorials all over the forum about it.

Actually i was going to call mc today or yesterday but after playing with the w7 os i wasnt pleased ANDROID pwns w7 so no need to call them or anything have fun while i enjoy with the best os on my HD2

Just called Microsoft to get an activation key and was able to get one without any trouble.
An interesting thing happened while I was speaking with the rep. He was able to tell I was using an HTC phone by my phone number....which he requested a number of times while he figured out what to do. It didn't seem to hinder the process at all on his end though.

There was a very serious article about the activation of HD2's running WP7 on pocketnow. They wrote that MS can detect that your phone isn't a real WP7 handset and that it's a crime to do it and all. I unflashed WP7 for that very reason. Would hate to be in some sh*t from MS!

i`m HD2 WP7 user in CHINA
can you help me get a Activition Code?
PM me please

nope...i called them bout the activation code FROM my HD2 with WP7...plus with the registry tweaks your HD2 isn't an HD2 anymore its an HD7 and on their computer they are receiving a call from an HD7 for all they know...and plus the rep I talked to knew what my problem was right when I said WP7, I'm implying she knew I was using an HD7.
Also if I sign into my t-mobile account, it will say my phone is an HD7

[Q] Sim LOCK!!

i just got the phone yesterday HTC HD2 and i got the unlock code for it so i can use at&t but when i tried to put the code it already said
you have tried 14 times, please wait until timeout...
do any of you guys know any solution..or anyway to put it in timeout
i know i searched the forum but no answer to it yet
please help if you can
thanks in advance

anybody? is there anyway to override this

you only get so many tries at entering a code. I dont know the exact number, i think it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, i think its usually around 7 times, then you have to wait (an hour maybe, perhaps longer) then you get some more goes, but if you get it wrong again it locks out for longer/permanently, unless you take it to a shop that can directly access it with a cable, and it will allow some more tries.
When i first read about this, on a different phone, about two years ago, it was 7 tries at entering through keypad, wait an hour, then 7 more tries then locked, plus 10 tries through the cable, then it was completely locked.
If you have any kind of receipt, you probably wanna kick up a fuss with the seller.

same problem
i've tried 19 times
i'm waiting 33 h now and it is impossible insert any code

Lgsimunlock.com use with extreme caution

I bought a LS997 (Sprint) v20 that was supposed to be unlocked, it was not. I saw on these forums people posting SIM unlock success with LGSIMUNLOCK.COM so I figured it was worth a try since 13 dollars wasn't much. After 13 hours they sent me an email saying my model was "super encrypted" version of the phone and they would need an additional 13 from me in order to bribe the carrier, I guess. I obliged and provided the extra money. About 18 hours into the order they sent me an 8 digit code and an apk to download that was labeled Network Unlock. I followed their instructions to a T at least 20 times with no luck and emailed back saying nothing was changing. They assured me they have a 100% success rate and that it must be my fault for having a custom ROM, which I don't by any means because it was an OTA update for one, and for two my second screen still worked... So I was unhappy after a few emails back and forth they decided they would send in for a new Unlock Code, while in the mean time k started doing research to find out that Sprints codes usually consist of 6 letters and not 8 nor do they require random unlock .apks. At that point I started trouble shooting the apk they sent me, I uninstalled and reinstalled about a few times and tried 00000000 on the network, and the app reacted exactly the same way saying my device was "Permanently Unlocked", interesting.... So then I took the phone off of wifi with no network attachment and tried a 0000 four digit random unlock code and the app still acted like it was connecting the network which was impossible since I had no connection and STILL tried to get me to believe that my phone had been permenantley unlocked. At this point I'm ready to call this website a scam and it's been a week since I returned the phone and requested a full refund and they are still telling me to remain patient that when Sprint is done updating their network or website they well return a working code for me that I don't even need anymore. Do not use this website unless you have 15-30 dollars you are ready to part with for no reason..

Gentlemens, keep in mind, lgsimunlock - scammers!
for $ 13 undertook to unlock the H-830 (unlock app) with clean imei-esn, as a result, after an "unsuccessful attempt",
on the demand for a refund of money, it is written that they sent the request to the operator. Already passed more than 35 days! the result is a loss of money.
Be careful.

lgsimunlock.com fraudulent website
Same situation, Be patient! Don't order, just will get 8 digit number that works only with their "app" to get a permanent unlock. However after you restart the phone it is still locked. The only way is to open a dispute on PayPal and nearly 50% of success that you will get your money back.
