Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock this phone?
Dont worry mate..
The moment some one unlocks the first windows phone they would sing it from the top of the houses...

The Mozart I received from Telstra did not come carrier locked. It's my understanding that no WP7 handsets can be locked by the carrier, though this might just be a Telstra thing.

All the UK WP7 handsets are carrier locked, except the HD7 (as the carrier which has it provides SIM free handsets).
I successfully SIM unlocked my Orange HTC Mozart with one of the 3rd party online services within 20 minutes. Search the web.

Maybe its all those anti-competative names Telstra have been hit with over the last few years that has turned them around. Or maybe they just haven't figured it out yet.
Hopefully should be getting one of these phones today, just wanted to know if I had room to move. Cheers guys. I'll let you know how it goes.
Correct, Telstra aren't SIM Locking any phones anymore.
Hey guys thanks for the responses.
We got the first of the phones already and can confirm that they are indeed unlocked.
is there any difference between unlocking the phone from Orange UK and from web based unlocking people?
any idea about cost involved in either case?

searched on google and its there but link does not work

he did unlock mine
the guy's name is secany on this forum
so u can send him a private message
Actually, don't have to PM me to check. You can check your phone can be unlock or not here:
http://www.nckzone.com/htc/index.php
Just type in your 15 digits IMEI and check, if it says Supernew records, then you can phone be unlock by "some" (NOT ALL) online service, I recommend here
http://www.nckzone.com , price is cheaper than other and most important is code comes in <5 mins.
If it says "No HTC tool is available for your IMEI" then you have to wait for about a week or two then try again.
Thanks Secany appearing on the horizon
I checked on the website mentioned secany and message appeared ""No HTC tool is available for your IMEI". But I found on this forum that Mozart can be unlocked. any body got mozart unlocked?
Like I say, some Mozart will give result supernew records, those units can be unlock right now.

Hello I have an HTC Hero on Orange UK and it is locked to Orange. I'm trying to get it to get it unlocked so that I can give it to my brother who is on T Mobile UK.
At first I though it would be as simple as loading a new ROM but after rooting it and installing both Villian and a Taiwanese ROM I still couldn't use the T Mobile SIM.
I am aware that the unlocking codes could be brought from Orange but I was wondering if there was a way of unlocking it with out purchasing the unlocking codes.
I have had a look online and on here for various methods but i couldn't find anything of any use. I am aware that this may not be the first time this has been asked so if you have any solutions please link me or explain...
Finally I am pretty tech able am able to do most things.
cheers
Tim
Short answer: Pay for a code
Long answer: Don't pay orange £20 for a code, go look on eBay for one. Mine cost £6.99.
Also, this does not belong in "Android development"
hey man, there is no other way then buying 6-7 pounds.. so, save your time by stop searching free sim unlock
timothy,
Orange and T-Mobile are now the same company (can't remember who bought who) so your brother should be able to use the hero straight away.
If it doesn't work then Orange should now unlock it to T-Mobile without question, considering that they are one and the same.

Please disregard this misinformed statement!
Orange and T-Mobile merged, neither bought either, and their "parent company" Everything Everywhere (lame name) was created.
They do network share, so customers can opt in to use the masts from the other network, but by no means are they the same network now.
The brands are due to remain seperate, and lets be fair
1) why would they believe that it was going to be on T-Mob, surely if they'd unlock for free without question everyone would just say that
2) they're wanting to make £25 quid out of you, and they will do for as long as its legally possible.
Once again, short answer: buy a code on ebay.
Buy a code off ebay then you have to downgrade your rom to an early modaco one cant remember which one i used , enter the code to unlock it then reflash an up to date rom.
Thats the only way to unlock a orange hero just had to do 3 off emm mate.
thanks for all suggestions i feel i will have to buy the codes cheers anyway

one last thing who do you buy them from on ebay (seller name/link) and is it always for htc hero on orange
Is Modaco 2.9 ROM still the only method to unlock Orange UK? Currently running RCMix and rooted. Better still, how one did recently.
Cheers.
Yes think it was that one mate... it was one of the very early modaco custom roms anyway.
don't worry,use this which give different countries and provider,with unlocking code of reliable cost.
you can use that & unlock mobile mobile to T mobile .
Hey XDA,
I've been doing some searching within the forums and they seem to have different answers and I'm not quite sure which is the way best to go around this. Say If I had a HTC 7 Mozart which was locked to Orange, which would be the best way to get this unlocked so I'm able to use my O2 Sim? Would I also have any restrictions on the device when unlocked and is it also possible to remove any orange content that may be installed on the device.
Regards,

Network issues after entered unlock code
Hi folks,
I wanted to unlock my Mozart (branded on Orange France) by code purchased in one of these website from US.
The unlocking code was given, I enter it when asking and then no network service. crossed ring on the left high corner.
I made a hard and a soft reset
I install HTC sync connexion application on market place and configure it but still the same troubles: The handy search for a network but keep on No service.
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for your help.

How / Where / Who can Unlock the SGII from networks like O2 etc in UK ?
O2 will unlock after 12 months otherwise you have to wait until unlocking is worked out after the phone has been launched .

I work for o2 and as long as it is a contract phone and not pay as you go, you can unlock it anytime by either completing the online form (google o2 'unlockmyiphone') or by calling customer services and requesting them to fill out the form for you. It can take up to 14days for you to receive the code.
Failing that, there are numerous IMEI unlocking websites online who will send the code within 24hours for a small fee.

I am presuming that it will not need unlocking to use a Giffgaff network sim as its part of O2 .
Three O2 shops today no stock and no idea if they will receive stock for launch 1st may .

You could use a Rebel Simcard. It's not the best solution but it definately does the job. I used one on my Dell Streak when they were exclusive to O2.
I take it you're getting it as an upgrade direct from O2?
If not open a contract with O2 through Phones4U and you'll get an unlocked device

It is £399 with O2 but will probably be locked
I also asked a popular online unlocking firm what the chances are of unlocking this handset and this was their reply:
This should be no problem at all. That's because there's one main database for all European Samsung Android handsets. We have unlocked the Samsung Galaxy S from all 6 main UK networks.

I have no previous contract, so just buy o2 payg £399 & unlock £15? (Total=£414)
Why would anyone pay £499 unlocked ?

Because at this stage, nobody is really sure that the 'unlock £15' part of the process will indeed work You could end up with a phone that will not currently work on the sim you may have ( I do understand you have no contract, so if you are happy with O2 payg, fill yer boots).

My Vodafone HD2 came unlocked - that wasn't the problem. The killer was that because it was a Vodafone phone, it could only take updates from Vodafone, and their updates came months after the unbranded ones. Once the Devs got HSPL all sorted out then it wasn't so much of a problem, but that didn't happen overnight.
So be aware - it's not just the network locking that's an issue when you buy a phone from a network.

This was the same with the first batch of O2 HD2's only accepting O2 specific updates which they changed after the second batch went out as were getting too many complaints. Hopefully they've learned from this and will allow standard manufacturer updates from the start. This wasn't due to particular messing around it was due to the serial numbers being registered with the manufacturer as not being generic therefore updates were refused by them. I doubt Samsung are quite as good as HTC with the regular updates but always good to know you can update when it's available.

Here's a response I received from a query I made of an eBay seller in relation to unlocking the SGS2...
"This is GUARANTEE TO WORK because this code is directly from Samsung and it is permanent. After you unlocked it, you can do software update or anything you like and it will still be unlocked."
Sounds promising...
It does but would like to know for sure before buying.

you say it can take 14 days for the code to arrive...is that normal or is it usually quicker?
Successful unlock?
Did anyone hear about any successful SGS2 unlock?
I also read in some places that when you buy PNG from O2 it is SIM free. This was the case when I bought an iPhone 4 when it came out. It was SIM free out of the box.
just either get CPW to price match which they are supposedly doing at £399, or waith two weeks as they are goint to that price soon.
This is very stupid from me but as with the SGS, would it be possible to retrieve the bml3.bak file and unlock?
I'm just assuming samsung is using the same method of hiding the Network Control Key.. maybe they're lazy..

Hi all!
My friend was bought a Lumia 800 for Christmas, but its locked to Orange and he does not have an Orange sim.
I have had a look on a few sites stating they can unlock it, but 2 have failed to do so so far!
And having to wait a week+ each time to see if its worked is just getting on my tits!
Anyone know of a place I can get an actual working unlock code
Cheers

Check ##782# in the dialer and it will tell you if it's definitely sim locked or not.
Get him to contact Orange and request them to unlock it. Maybe say you're going on holiday somewhere for a month...
This site could unlock it.
As it is early days it is expensive to unlock it due to certain technical restrictions. See this thread for an explanation and more discussion on sim unlocking.
Will check if its locked in a min, but im pretty sure it is.
Will try orange if the current unlocker i have orderd from does not deliver the code today!
I have tried UnlockLiberty.com and currently trying unlockitnow.com!
I expect it to be expensive to be honest but as long as we can actually get it unlocked in the first place would be a start
Cheers matey
Bought mine from the pcw and tried your # thing. When I dialled the # code it says its already unlocked

Orange can unlock it as long as you know the original mobile number that it came with. It will take upto 30 days and cost £20.42p. So if you can get it done elsewhere it'll be quicker and cheaper.

It's a small circuit board that sits between the SIM and the phone, they generally cost a couple of quid, and somehow do work.

Worth a shot anyway! haha
the reason no one is getting unlock codes from the suppliers mentioned for lumia on orange or tmobile uk is because the lumia is actually locked to a new hybrid orange/tmobile mcc+mnc network.
phones locked to this network are not locked to tmobile or orange, they are actually locked to both networks, try both sims and you will see for yourself, that the phone will take sims from both networks, but not any other.
T-Mobile and Orange UK have merged recently.
They have started locking newer NOKIA handsets to a new MERGED network MNC+MCC
NEW T-Mobile / Orange UK Merge Lock uses MNC+MCC = 2343300190233141
Older Standard Orange UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343300000000000
Older Standard T-Mobile UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343000000000000

Known models with hybrid lock
Nokia Lumia 700 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia Lumia 710 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia Lumia 800 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
Nokia E7-00 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile
*
What About Other Nokia Models?
There will be more models released soon that will require this service too.*
Remember these are newer Nokia handsets, you wont need it for older models.
*
How to Check if Other Nokia is Locked To This New Network.
There are 2 ways to check orange and tmobile nokia handsets. to see if they are truly locked to the new orange/t-mobile uk network or are actually locked to the standard Orange UK or standard T-Mobile UK networks
*
Method 1.
Try both a t-mobile sim and an orange sim in the nokia phone
if the phone accepts BOTH SIMS = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network
if only the orange sim works = locked to Orange UK network
if only the t-mobile sim works = locked to T-Mobile UK network
*
Method 2.
Read phone info using usb cable and this software
(software requires nokia pc suite installed first for drivers, full video guide @ the bottom of this page: http://www.imeicodes.co.uk/instruction/nokia.php)
If it displays config key 2343300190233141 = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network*
If it displays config key 2343300000000000 = locked to Orange UK network
If it displays config key 2343000000000000 = locked to T-Mobile UK network
Which begs the question, are there actually any solutions yet? If we can't get unlock codes off Orange nor T-Mobile, as the 800 is locked to both, who do we get the codes off?
Ive tried sim-unlock.net and unlockdata.co.uk with no success. anyone else have other places to order from?
fonefun, thanks for the update on the carrier situation.
Does this mean that the database is only accessable by T-Mobile and Orange at the minute or do unlocking sites have access to the algorithm/codes too?

we have tested around 12 imeis before we put the service live. so yes you will start to see this service on other codes site as our resellers catchup to speed on this very new service.
the service is online already for single code buyers for the tmobile/orange hybrid network locked nokia handsets on the imeicodes website mentioned earlier in this thread. they take about a week to process at the moment. look for the "Special T-Mobile UK / Orange UK Nokia Unlock Codes" service on the prices page
Hi Fonefun,
Got a Lumia 800 from e-bay not sure if Orange or the hybrid network.
I can't seem to get the Nokia BB5 usb utility to read the phone config key. I tried the 2.5 version too.
The lumia doesn't use the nokia suite but Zune. I installed both with no success. I tried on both a Win7 and Win XP machine. The phone is recognised in Zune but not the utility.
Any advice would be welcome.
Jon
all lumia on orange or tmobile are hybrid
you wont be able to read the lock area using that software, because the lumia is different and cant be read by anything at the moment.
we read an e7-00 ok though with it, this is how we discovered the hybrid. after trying 2 sims in the e7-00 we confirmed this was the case.
so we got the lumias and tried orange and tmobile sims in them, and yes both worked, but any other sim did not, so we sumarised that the lumias are also locked to the hybrid network, we got the new hybrid codes for them and unlocked them, we tried on 800 lumia, our sources tell us all lumia are the same lock types for tmobile and orange also.
we put the link on for the code reading software to enable people to check newish handsets too because we simply dont have the handsets to try ourselves, so there may be more...
Hey guys in the UK
So I brought the Lumia 920 from Phones4U, and I'm testing out which one will give me an unlock code...
But here's the thing: People have stated the EE lock is closest to T-Mobile UK, as the Lumia 920 supports the Virgin Mobile SIM too!
Here's the questions:
1. Has anyone here been lucky enough to get it unlocked from EE?
2. What sites have been used?
I have tried:
cellunlocker - Tried on Orange, may try again for T-Mobile
cellphoneunlocker - Tried on Orange, now trying on T-Mobile
fonezone - Tried on Orange and no luck, apparently no code for T-Mobile on that site
Good luck in getting EE to unlock.... Been trying for over a week.
They keep saying to me, as i didn't buy the phone from them, you have to get the code from p4u.. P4u say get it from EE... Ive even contacted Nokia they say EE should unlock it.
There is one site i found on here but its £40

Yeah I've had no luck with p4u either. My main thing is that I think the carrier lock affects the NFC options for registering a card as I have not been able to get about bank cards on the NFC to associate in wallet
I was looking forward to that feature.

I've heard some success stories from them though. Any way we can know what batch numbers they have in their database? (my box doesnt have a batch number on the sticker, maybe some alternative method?)
Has anyone tried http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/lumia/index.htm ?
I am seriously thinking of buying a cable + box to unlock it, but I have NO IDEA where to begin.. Can someone guide me?

Hey guys in the UK
So I brought the Lumia 920 from Phones4U, and I'm testing out which one will give me an unlock code...
But here's the thing: People have stated the EE lock is closest to T-Mobile UK, as the Lumia 920 supports the Virgin Mobile SIM too!
Here's the questions:
1. Has anyone here been lucky enough to get it unlocked from EE?
2. What sites have been used?
I have tried:
cellunlocker - Tried on Orange, may try again for T-Mobile
cellphoneunlocker - Tried on Orange, now trying on T-Mobile
fonezone - Tried on Orange and no luck, apparently no code for T-Mobile on that site

I haven't used them for Nokia but contact fonefunshop, they have always helped me in the past!
UPDATE. according to their website they can unlock Lumia 920 locked to EE for £30! I have used them several times in the past and their communication and service is A+!
I visited a couple of those high-street unlocking guys, and they said they could do it for 25 GBP and 40GBP respectively.. Anyone had luck with them? I don't know if I trust them or not..

Your order reference number is: **********
Unlock Code Unavailable
We have refunded your order in full. Please allow 3-4 working days to see cleared funds in your account.
Why?
Unfortunately the unlock code for your IMEI number:*********************************** is not available.
This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you entered the IMEI incorrectly upon ordering.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the mention! Gone and proceeded with the order
I ordered mine yesterday, now checking the order page several times a day. I hope they can get it unlocked, otherwise I will have to travel with two phones...
UnlockFrog
Just spoken to UnlockFrog who said :
"First batch of handsets are still processing with our supplier for this new service.
We will have the results towards the end of next week. The service is brand new specifically for EE handsets"
They've added me to their mailing list to let me know if they can unlock it. I'm using a white unlocked 920 ATM but I really want a yellow one, all of which are locked to EE in the UK.
Wait for a month and demand EE give you the unlock code free. They are obliged to if you are on a contract phone. I am waiting for a month and will be claiming my unlock code from EE. already tried and they said a month. O2 give you the code immediately or email yo you within a week. There is really no need to use those sites unless you buy pay as you go. If you are buying buying pay as you go why would you buy a network locked phone?
Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_342 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
so better not buying the phone from ee or p4u?
saw the grey one in the advert in town and thought i might go with it:/
want it unlocked so.
didnt find a proper offer in UK or Germany so far
