Hi All,
Just a quick question. Has anyone with sim free Nokia (CW, P4U etc) received the 7440 update, yet?
It looks like only the branded handset's got it.

My one is sim free.....NOT YET
Mine is from phones4u sim-free, and its still got no update from 7720.
Same here. Sim-free, no update.

Same here.
Brandend h3g italy, no upgrade
Bought mine on PAYG (not sure if it's SIM FREE as I don't have another Micro SIM to try) from Three, no update yet
Unbranded bought in The Netherlands. No update yet.
Same as WizardX. However this thread would be a lot more informative if only the updated handsets were posted.

T-mobile UK had update on 17th though not used outlook or voicemail so a little wasted on me

Hi,
Sim free with french orange network and no update for now
Got mine direct from Nokia via Developer program and no update for 7740 also the 'Nokia Marletplace" doesn't show up in the marketplace for me.
For me the Nokia Marketplace doesn't show up either. Has anybody seen that on his device?

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.

Ok, so everywhere i have tried so far have failed me!
All said "sorry, not on the database, cant unlock"
One offered to send me an unlocking sim?
God knows what they is, never heard of it before!
Also tried to phone orange, but don't know the original number it came with, and they told me i would need to be on orange for at least 3 months before they will allow me to unlock... which is a freaking ball ache!
ARGH!
Need this damn thing unlocked lol

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.

May have to give one of these a try...
The Lumia 800 uses a slim sim similar to the iPhone 4's dont they?...
Yes, a micro SIM.
hmmmm, cant seem to find any for Micro Sim's other than the iPhone ones!
Not sure if they will work with other phones...

Well i have orderd a GEVEY TURBO SIM adapter to see if it will also work in our Nokia.
They do say for all versions of iPhone, but i cant see why it wont work in the Nokia...
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...
I'm seriously considering getting a RAZR as my next phone. I just have one nagging doubt..
Only the O2 network is carrying the device 'officially' in the UK. I'm an Orange customer, and contracts are available for the RAZR through Carphone Warehouse, Phones4u and various online retailers on the Orange nework. However, given that the phone isn't officially offered by Orange, will it receive software updates OTA, or will I have to start rooting and installing ROMs manually?
Probably a noob question, but I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS so, even with the ton of research I've done, android is kinda new to me.
Most likely you will get the updates.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
Bought mine sim-free in the UK and received the first OTA update as soon as I switched on. OTA isn't limited by provider.
Thanks, that's all I needed to know
Check out Tesco mobile - I got mine on a t-mobile contract there and the handset is SIM free with no operator guff on.
I popped my Vodafone SIM in (wife gets the t-mobile SIM) as soon as I got it and I was good to go.
Have received a couple of OTA updates since mid-Dec.

I didnt check but I was in Taipei and Indonesia last week and the 920 worked fantastic; using an ATT sim and roaming on the other networks.
I bought my 920 full price but when I tried to unlock it ATT said it was a six month exclusive and they would not unlock until that time.

No, because AT&T 920s will be sim locked to AT&T for the next 6 months. But, you can roam internationally just fine, on your AT&T plan.

I currently have a Lumia 710 (Orange UK) which I use with Virgin UK. However, I have just made the plunge to buy a Lumia 620 which comes locked on o2 UK.
Is there a way to unlock the Lumia 620 like there is the 710/800? i.e. flash a bootloader and install a custom ROM?
or should I resort to changing contracts to o2/Tesco/GiffGaff?
Thank you all for any help/advice you can give me! :highfive:

They show up for me today. Only I don't know which one to pick, there are hundreds of variants. Any ideas for the most generic one valid on UK networks?
Hi,
No any way to unlock Lumia 610 now...
About firmware - pick one that matches to your phone's Product Code.
BTW, if you want to change the boot-loader to OSBL QUALCOMM - use ATF Flasher
it can change boot-loaders via TP. =)

Thats great. I'll take a look later today. Might flash a generic firmware to get rid of the o2 Branding.
so is it possible to sim unlock this device? i bought one but i havent opened it yet in case i cant unlock it.
I picked up the Lumia 620 on the O2 deal to play around with and requested an unlock code which O2 have sent me so can use other SIM's now and tested it with an Orange SIM.
It didn't cost me anything to get it unlocked as I am an iPhone pay monthly customer already.
The problem now is the branding. I downloaded the Nokia Care Suite and flashed the generic firmware which put it to stock but it mentioned something about the product code not being specified however it all worked fine but unsure how it would effect updates in the future.
The product code is 059R788 which looking at the firmware matches the O2 branded one so will future updates still have to wait for O2 if they are based on product codes?
For now I flashed it back to the O2 firmware using the Nokia Care Suite as there are not any updates available to check.
Cheers!

Are you able to advise how you got O2 to unlock your PAYG Lumia 620 as I asked over chat last night and they wouldn't have any of it...even though I told the I (well my wife) has an O2 iPhone contract...!?!? Their policy is based on the phone being owned for 12-months or more before being unlocked, not the PAYG SIM or Pay Monthly contract...
I threatened them with leaving and referenced the fact Vodafone would do it at any time on PAGY for £20...!!!
They've told me to ring support on 4445 directly to discuss...
Any thoughts?
Judging by the comments above, the 620 cannot yet be unlocked via firmware?

Since the device is still EE branded: yes. You have to wait for EE to release an update to get OTA Updates.
You can, as far as I know, flash an unbranded ROM to your device using Nokia Care Suite, however.

Hey Bawfar, just to let you know, I was/am in exactly the same position. I bought outright my LUMIA 920 last year in the UK and moved less than 1 week later to Cyprus. I unlocked my device at that time from unlockfrog and it cost me £50. I have since used a CYTA sim card and its been fine and have received updates when they have been released by EE. If you need to ask anything else let me know and I'll do what I can to help you out.
