Hiya,
I've has organised myself a new XDA 2, does anyone know if these can be unlocked to any network like the original XDA?
Regards,
Chris
Now that the XDA II is to sale, I hope it will be possible very soon to unlock it :wink: , a friend will bought one for me in UK , and I need to have it simfree ...to use it, unless that, it will be a PPC Phone Edition, with no phone ! :roll:
Unlocking
I am also very keen to to Unlock mine - I have checked throughout the net and no one seems to have acheived it yet? Can any one else assist?

Unlocking from O2
Hi,
What number at O2 did you call to unlock the phone and what excuse did you you use?
Thanks,
K
no excuse...just asked for the unlocking code..and they charged me £15
Hi, do you have the number? I checked in 3 shops and they claimed no unlocking options for 12 months... :?
Unlocking
Called O2 and they said they would unlock it... however they didnt give me an unlocking code... they said they will take care of things for me.
Can they do it from their side? I thought I was suppose to enter some code to unlock the device or at least thats what I have done in the past with an Ericsson phone I had...
Can someone help? dont want them charging me for nothing...
K
Number is
08702 410 202
Option 0
they need to give u a code which you need to enter once u put a non o2 sim card in the xda2
Or run SimLock.exe (hidden file in Windows directory)
Out of interest, what was your unlock code?
No luck... O2 wont unlock because its a new contract... Didnt like their attitude might take the phone back tomorrow...
Mine is a new contract & "Darren" in Warrington definately said to me that they would unlock on payment of £15 and my whole year's contract in advance. He checked with his manager & that was confirmed.
Ring 'em back. They are being totally inconsistent.
my xda is on a three month old contract and they gave me the unlock code without any fuss
Every 1 in O2 sing a different song!
When I bought my XDA 1 I paid O2 £15 to unlatch it so I could use it on any network. So when I upgraded (over the phone with O2) to the XDA2 I told them I wanted that unlatched too.
No problem, they said, just call customer services when it arrives.
After being given many different stories by O2 they finally gave me the unlatching code.
The problem is that when I entered it the phone rejected it every time although O2 checked the IMEI number several times.
Finally they tell me that they have an arrangement with HTC (The manufacturers) not to allow the unlatching of the XDA2 to any network other than O2!!!
It would have been nice if O2 staff had been advised of that and not told me there would be no problem and then given me a code that doesn't work!!
I have sold my XDA 1 and bought accessories for the XDA 2 so I am now out of pocket and fully intend writing to O2 claiming I have been mis-sold. That is, unless anyone out there knows how to unlock the phone so the unlatching code works ??
I shall persevere with hassling O2 until I get it unlocked though I cannot see how any of you out there have managed this when O2 staff have so adamantly informed me that they simply cannot and will not be unlocking the XDA2 for any but O2 network until next year!! :x :x
it may be that the staff who i spoke to were not aware of this policy and just treated like any other handset...i am not even using my o2 sim card but using it on t-mobile and vodaphone.
i have read all the responses on this page and the sim lock exe has been metioned but what does this programe do i would love to know
Please, xda-developers , can you find a way to desimlock XDA II ???
I was suppose to receive my unlock code , paying 15£ to O2 , and 650 £ full price with no contract ; IMEI and bill have been sent by O2 store to the Central stuff, but now, they said , no more unlock !!!
So that means, as I leave in France, that I can use my XDA II only like normal PPC and not PPC Phone , and that I will have to buy a phone !!! :evil:
Simlock.exe is the program that runs when you have a SIM inserted that is not belonging to O2 - asks you for the unlock code.
Alternatively can be run as standalone exe for the same purpose.

They cannot legally NOT allow you to unlock the phone if you request it. It is against OFTEL regulations in this country. If they persist, just mention that to them, further non-cooperation, ring OFTEL and get them to intervene - the "watchdog" is there for our benefit.
I have searched Internet and this forum but not find any information regarding unlocking and flashing a Swedish 3 branded TyTn.
Does someone have information about this?
Does it have the 1.09 bootloader or something that prevent unlocking/unbranding?

Most probably not, if you bought it a while ago... bootloader 1.09 is very new, but even if it has it, this doesn't mean you can't unlock/unbrand it
I must decide what to buy... 1.Unlocked,Unbranded & Expensive or
2.A 3 Branded Simlocked Less Expensive HTC TyTn.
So I want to know if somone has succeded to fix their swedish 3 branded TyTn.
The Swedish 3 branded TyTn was delayed and has been aviable to buy for the latest 2 weeks...
Do like I did, buy a Orange SPV M3100 from ebay.co.uk for like £250, which is less than 3500 kr. It looks a lot better too

Bootloader 1.06 on mine. It's new so I don't feel any need to unlock it. I'm waiting to see if 3 comes with a newer rom, since you can't watch streaming video or listen to streaming audio on the 3 portal with the current version. I have contacted customer service and am waiting for a reply.
Hi,
can anybody help me with unlocking my T-mobile mda 2.
It is about 2-3 years old.
Lokowiz didn´t work.
I tried it several times.
Thank´s a lot.
Greetings

Did you read the Wiki? There's a nice link to a thread about unlocking the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=944869
Maybe if you post in that thread, people who are focused on that topic might lend a hand.
Unlock MDA
liquidsilver thank´s for the link.
I tried it out and it worked out perfectly.
Thank´s a lot.
Greetings
it works!
After trying several links, this is the one that finally worked for me for the pm200 (compact 2 from T-Mobile UK). Nice, easy, simple and foolproof. It did not delete any files either.
Thank you very much!
Bought refurbished MDA Compact II on Ebay a few weeks ago, loaded with Windows Mobile 6.1. Took some searching here, but liquidsilver's link did the job - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=944869 The unlock code generated worked perfectly with Vodafone sim. Linkowiz is the man!
I've just upgrade hero from 3 UK, can i buy the unlocking code to unlock it just like the orange one?
Thank you
I purchase the code from http://www.unlock-htc.com ,but get refund from them, anyone know where to buy the unlocking code? thanks

may have some solutions for you. The 3 branded symbians were a little difficult for unlockers but most of them found ways to unlock, so I am sure your Hero can also be unlocked.
If you must have an unlocked Hero, you can have mine , I will swap with yours. Running Modaco 2.8 with latest radio etc.
I would like to try to unlock it myself, because it's not mine, i'm just helping my friend outside of UK
anyone tried http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
or http://www.simunlock-htchero.com/buy.html
a lot of people say they got code from the website, but i don't know if it will work on 3 branded hero, thank you

In your first post you stated about your upgrade and in the post above you wrote about helping a friend which is great. Why didnt he or you help him make correct decision to buy a unlocked GSM? Because 3 branded may not be any good until unlocked. Having said that it may work in other "3 home" networks.
Hello,
first i want to apologize for bad English.
So, i have htc legend that can see just Celcom sim.
And i want to put in it an Orange - IL Sim Card.
When i tried to do that, it asked for code that i don't have.
I want to do Sim Free to my HTC LEGEND, without going to the service center.
Bottom line:
So any one have any software or really good site that could unlock my HTC Legend?
Thank you
I've a similar question.
Had unlocked the booloader at HTC Dev of the to Legend from Virgin carrier, CA. This device cames SIM locked. My brother never noticed.
I know it's a little odd asking help on this, but I don't think he should pay, even US$ 9,99 for a computer generated code, to use as he wants a device he bought, payed and is using it (and paying carrier bills) for more than a year.
Sincerally, I want help to prevents puting one cent on this, and get rid of this unlock network sim code.
Regards,
BTW - Samsung guys did the trick, there's an app at Google Play for unlocking it, it's free, legal and, in my thoughts, honest!
I just tried Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock (it took like three hours) and no dice.
Could you be more specific?
Your post seems a little odd; you start by saying you have this question too, and then give half an answer, implying you have the whole answer. What gives?
Ha, I can't believe it!
I just googled 'sim unlock' and spied a link to the network it's locked to (which I only knew because the old SIM was included), and it led to this page: http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=3CA/Page/3CAStatic&cid=1236150837988
It was free! Sweet!
Wow, nice. I paid $15 CAD for mine, but with no regrets. One of the greatest investments I've ever made on this phone and it was completely worth it.

I got the phone off my cousin; I guess she got her new phone on a plan under the same account.
Pretty sweet of the telco to have a page for SIM unlocking that's potentially free, though
I am not sure but i think in custom roms there are no sim lock. Correct me if I am wrong.

You're wrong. Custom ROMs don't SIM unlock the device.
