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 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.
rustek/tenzin
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.
Anyone know how I can unlock my SIM on my G4 8125?
hi friend you need lockwiz v3.0 i dont remember as well witch version is but also is for charmer and prophet
enjoy it
Where can I find this? And is it possible to brick a device trying to SIM unlock?
its a joke you will find here in the xda forum or the wiki also this program only reads the sim code unlock no faluire or brick device if you intent a cid unlock with a g3 unlocker you had a 10-35% of brick your phone
My CID is already unlocked on My G4 8125.... Had to pay 30 something bucks to do it though.. now I just wanna unlock the SIM... I found Lokiwiz here on the forums.. and I'm gunna attempt it as soon as someone comes over my house with a non-cingular phone with a sim card.. lol
30!?!?!?! ghehe ohw srry that's pretty ****** up when you can do it easy lie yourself
If Cingular is your carrier and you have been their customer for a while you can call them up and request a SIM unlock code. They are obligated to give you one.
you had all reason if you re a cingular custumer yo can speak with they to get the sim code in fact the cid unlock in a g4 cost 30 bucks - 20 euros for a g3 is free
I called Cingular.. and they gave me a SIM unlock code, but they said there was some other code I forget what they called it that they could only give me if I met certain criteria, like contract is up, purchased phone at full retail or are travelling out of the country for an extended period of time...
Where do I input the code they gave me? Just incase what they were referring to was something totally different then unlocking the SIM
You'll have to find a non-cingular SIM card and put it in your phone. When you turn it back on, it'll ask for the unlock code.
Im gunna have to get one of my buddies over here so I can try it.. lol
As mentioned earlier, find someone with a T-Mobile SIM card. Thats the easiest way to test. They (Att/Cingular) should have provided you with unlocking instructions.
btw after all how u do the sim unlock ???
Can I use a T-Mobile sim card in a 3125 (star trek)? I have a nokia phone with T-Mobile but it's pretty crappy. I have a nice star trek phone that I kept from my last job because it was actually two broken star trek phones that I combined working parts (screen) to make it work. Well I would like to use this phone with my T-Mobile sim card but I do not know the unlock code.
I see there is a page called imei-check I think that will supposidly send me files to unlock it, but only after paying them $40.25 USD. The exchange rates to the UK currency are more than 2:1 right now, so I'd rather find a program to do it for free. I used to use AT&T 8525 and Siemens SX66's and it was a piece of cake to unlock them. All it was was an executable file copied to the device and then ran under the device. Why is the 3125 so hard that no one has been able to figure out how to unlock this device? I would of thought an 8525 would be harder to figure out as it's more complicated and more powerful. Google searches yield everything for CID unlocking and Application unlocking, which is not a problem as I'm running WM 6.1 firmware on this device.
So is SIM unlocking really that difficult? Why is this one of the few devices that I am struggling to find SIM unlocking programs? Is it just not a popular device? Any route I can go? Thanks for your help.
You can SIM unlock your device for a money. There is no free service.

Ok actually I called AT&T and they gave me the unlock code after knowing the original phone number and IMEI number.
Hello everyone..i know this has probably been answered but i cannot seem to find it...I have a friend that has gotten a G4 8125 that has a cingular sim card...she wants to make it so that it can go to Tmoble...but tmoble says that the "phone" has to be unlocked..i Looked into the lockiwiz program but it says you need the other sim card..tmoble wont give them a new sim card..so how do i unlock the "phone" so that they can bring it to tmobile. If i do the Hard SPL without flashing the rom and keep it...will it seem to be unlocked when they bring it to them
As far as I have been able to discern, the only way to SIM unlock a G4 Wizard is to go here:
http://imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
It will cost you 20 British Pounds that you can pay by paypal.

If you're an AT&T customer, just call them and tell them you're planning on traveling, and want to use foreign pay-as-you-go SIMs while abroad. They'll talk you through the SIM unlock on the phone.
Otherwise, you are right, you will need a different SIM to use Lokiwiz. You could buy a cheap pay-as-you-go card from TMobile, I believe. Just use the minutes up, or sell the card on Craigslist when you're done with your SIM-unlock.
Do not do HardSPL for this, it has nothing to do with your issue. That's only for flashing the ROM, not for unlocking the SIM.
Hello
In the last 10 minutes i unlocked a Cingular 8125 G4 with Lokiwiz03a. Lokiwiz03 give you an unlock code to your phone. You only need a NO Cingular sim card but i think you can got from a friend or another one.
Good luck.

Hi people, Ive searched on this but can only find people talking about unlock codes and wondered if it was possible yet to unlock HD2 for free like you can on the HD1?
Ive just purchased a T-Mobile HD2 on ebay that is 2 months old and was wondering if we cant unlcok via free method is it possible to unlock my phone via code as ive noticed various people having problem with T-Mobile 2010 models.
Thnx in advance.
Free sim unlock is not available on HD2 yet.
Free unlock is normally only possible on old or obsolete phones.
For now, your best bet is take your phone to a shop that does unlocking.
I would not trust most online unlock firms for newish model of phone.

Unlock threads talking about codes, are mostly to change from manufacturers ROM.
Thnx for reply but think I will be trying with a company on ebay who do unlocking I explained it was only 2 months old and they said it wont be a problem.
If it is I will try the "Rebel" Sim card which supposedly unlocks ALL htc devices without codes etc. You simply slot it in underneath your sim and it allows you to use it.
