Hello all, i've had a quick look around and couldn't find anything on here , i was wondering if it was possible to unlock your phone to work with another carrier / network without purchasing a code / taking it to an unlock shop / market stall.
im currently on Orange in the UK and am migrating to Sweden with my fiance and will need to use it there, i was wondering if there was any other way before i depart with my cash

Hello all
Is it possible tu unlock xperia x10 mini at home somehow for free rooting it or whatever? (other than pay stupid amounts of money for having the IMEI code unlock)
I've just unlocked mine via www.liberaporimei.eu, €22 - worked perfectly
I don't think there is a reliable way of doing it yourself. If you really need to unlock the phone (ie plan on using a phone that is worth several 00 Euros on a different network), I think this is your route.
& as ever, given the cost of the phone, it's not an outlandish amount to pay.
Will it unlock Vodafone Spain network locked phones? I have seen some on eBay that might be interesting, now I just need to convince Spanish people that they can send outside of Spain, which is not an easy task .

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,

Thanks, so that would make it usable with my O2 sim then. Does anyone have the prices for that? As It seems I can't get the price unless I have the IMEI code.

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.

Hi, I bought my Gear S in the states while I was visiting for 2 months. I wanted a Gear S to play with before I brought it back to Switzerland. T-mobile would only sell it to me if it was activated with T-mobile. I paid for the activation as he told me I could unlock it when I got back here. I had all kinds of trouble getting an unlock code from them. They told me that all I had to do was put in the new SIM and enter the code (8 digits) which I did (although the input space said..."lock code"). It still doesn't recognize the swisscom network. Did I just lock it again to T-mobile? Questions:
- How do I get back to the beginning where I can enter the unlock code again?.
- Is there a back door portal that can get me back there? there usually is..... I have tried a factory reset...doesn't work.
- is the US version locked in to the US only frequency? Doesn't seem so....
Does anyone know how to unlock the device? I hope I won't need one watch for Europe, One for the USA and one for Australia. IF so...Samsung really missed the boat.....
Many thanks for any help
Hey all.
So my s6 edge is currently locked to EE UK and I'm a giffgaff member.
It will take ages for ee to give me a code and I have to fork out to unlock my phone.
The thing is my phone is rooted and I was wondering now that it is rooted would it be possible to find my network unlocking code via some sort of app that will calculate it or whether I can unlock it some other way right now so I can use my new baby it makes me sad having it and not being able to use it now
If not I don't have much choice il just take it to the shop tomorrow but I'm hoping that won't be needed and that the code is stored somewhere or can be calculated
