Hi Guys,
I get the "phone is ignoring us" when I try to unlock the phone that I bought SIM free from Phones4US. I have tried everything including resetting the phone. I did see on the Chevron blog though that someone did get theirs unlocked today.
Any ideas? Do I need to get a retail Nokia ROM and have it installed first??
Just unlocked mine today without problems. Got it sim free from Amazon.de

Thanks, it seems you have the very latest firmware update. I had talked with Nokia because my MMS was not working and there was no "network set up" available in Marketplace. She said I could not avail of this until I had the new firmware and she said that it was being rolled out now. So far I have not received this. Maybe when I do get it I will be able to unlock then. If not I hope Heathcliffe will come up with a new retail ROM for all of us

Thought that's what you mean't. I did it and it mad eno difference. Phone still ignoring the request by Chevron. What to do?
Did you try opening the Developer Registration tool and see if you get the "Unable to connect to phone" error?
If so try with a different USB cable, reboot your computer and phone and try again.
If that doesn't work, go on the AppHub forum and ask there.
If you are still unable to get it to work, Rafael Riviera(one of the guys behind Chevron WP7) have stated they will refund anyone with this issue.

If you got Chevron running, it's allready on your system since it's a part of the WP7.1 SDK, it's under the Windows Phone developer tools folder in your start menu:

Guys,
Just to let you know I finally got my Lumia unlocked. I had the W.I.N.C.O. mini SDK series on my PC and had been using it but it seems that it is it that would not allow the unlock. I uninstalled it and installed the full MSFT version and had no problems.
Ok, question:
When you talk about unlocking, you mean that to eliminate the lock that the carrier has on the phone and that forces me to use exclusively that carrier?

No.
This is developer unlocking which allows sideloading of homebrew apps.
You want a sim unlock (GSM) which would allow you to use sim cards from other carriers rather than being locked into one.
Check ##782# in the dialer and it will tell you if it's definitely sim locked or not.
See this thread and this link.
NO WAY! 65e for unlocking movistar's lumia!
Apparently I CAN unlock it since it gives me 10 chances to introduce the code, but surfing on different webs, 2 already refused to accept my order for a lumia's unlocking code

Hello guys,
This is my first post in this great looking forum & Happy New Year 2011
I have a Sony Ericsson X10a phone from Canada's wireless provider Rogers. and I've tried unlocking it by buying a code from one of the unlocking sites out there, (am I allowed to say the sites' name?!) but it didn't work! They told me I had to check the attempts and whatnot, so they refused to give me my money back.
I followed this tutorial (below) but it didn't work out for me. and I have a feeling that Rogers locked this phone so damn good it can't be unlocked.

Okay guys.
Here is new X10flash for Firmware 2.1 Version (old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment).
Windows 7/Vista Users should diasable UAC!!
Download Flasher: (Update 14.11.2010) GUI VERSION!!!

You will see that there is a new Folder "firmware" the firmware files must be inside this folder!

You have to wipe your USERDATA !! This is important, otherwise you will enter Bootloops etc.
Also be sure SEUS is NOT running! (But at least it should have detected your phone once)
THIS FIRMWARE IS ONLY FOR X10 NOT FOR MINI (PRO) or X8 !
But the flashtool should be capable of flashing all Xperia Series now!
If someone decrypts the Rom you can try it

If you have more ROMS, just drop me a PN and i will add them to this post!

The Rogers logo is now gone after what I believe was flashed (and/or rooted) but the sim card is still locked.
Any chance I can format, update/upgrade, and "sim" unlock my phone?
Thanks for any help!

Hi.
You've debranded your phone, but simlocking is different, and there is no free way at the moment, so you'll need to have a browse of the numerous unlock threads to see which services people have used and decide for yourself.
And if you've been ripped off post the name of the company so others can avoid them.

So debranding the phone won't unlock it and you say "there's no free way atm."
and what do you mean by services?
Do you mean unlocking sites and/or paid programs?
The site is cellunlocker.net but I don't know if the code would've worked if I had enough attempts, but I still doubt that the code sent to me is genuine!
any chance of formatting the phone so I can have 5 or 10 new attempts?!
Thanks for your reply.

Because I've read numerous threads on it over the last 6 months of being a member here. Loads of people have successfully unlocked their phones, the problem is however they've all had to pay. As for the Cellunlocker, some HERE have said it worked for them, so not sure why it didn't for you, and you'll find other suggestions HERE

You can contact Lancez from this thread. See post#10 and the links are in his signature. I unlocked my two X10's through him.
Hi I unlocked my x10 from Rogers few months ago, but for that I had to pay $25 to a shop in my area and had it unlocked try checking stores who can unlock it.. depends on where you live in Canada

Well, his codes are manufacturer codes not carrier ones. If you check other sites the price is between $35-$40 for the Xperia X10. I have tried many sites with no success. But Lancez has provided me with the correct codes within 10 days and they worked from the first attempt. You can also read the review about his service from other members who used it on the same thread I gave you earlier. I have unlocked two X10a's through him with no problem.
http://www.mobileincanada.com
$20 from here for Rogers x10a (That's what I am and what I got unlocked)
Confirmed worked. Got my code within 2 days.
If you don't know, you need to put in a sim card that ISNT rogers in order for it to ask you to input your unlock code. Perhaps your code actually does work but you didn't put it in the right place? It took me a while to figure this out

I did put another (non Rogers) sim card and I typed the code in the right place because there are no other places for it. and still it didn't work!

Half an hour ago I received an update notification. In Zune it just says HTC Update without any change log. I installed it, everything went fine, but can't see any changes so far. My Titan is unlocked, from UK.
Does anyone know what's in this update?
The other HTC phones is getting Internet Sharing and performance updates. So I guess it is only performance updates for the Titan and Radar.
In my opinion its faster.
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Clicking "more info" leads to Microsoft's site, which says "If you have questions about what's included in a phone manufacturer update, contact your phone manufacturer. " So I went to HTC's website, which has help pages for every phone they make except the Titan. Interestingly, when the phone is being updated, Windows refers to it as "Eternity" instead of Titan. This is what changed in the About page: (I underlined the parts that changed.)
Firmware revision number old: 1600.2200.10806.401
Firmware revision number new: 1600.2200.10902.401
Bootloader version old: 1.8.160015.3(132000)
Bootloader version new: 1.9.160015.3(132193)
Is this the 1.09 ROM?

I am the same as you.
This is mine.
I dont know wether its my phone but i have flashed both this rom (1.09.401.02 Radio 16.23.02.09_A_16.24.00.23U) and done the official update, and what i consider to be a serious bug is present in this firmware, whenever you have headphones in and make a call , the volume changes to full volume, preceded by a noticable noise just before the change to full volume.
I already downgraded to the previous firmware and will undo the zune update now.
Can someone please confirm if the issue is local to my phone, or as i suspect a firmware issue.
---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------
I can confirm, that at least in my case the original rom which came with the phone does not have the issue. Too dangerous to get my eardrums blasted whilst riding a motorbike.

i want to unlock the sim of my phone, details are as [email protected]
AU ISAI LG V31 (JAPAN) android smartphone..
Hardware and software info are as below
MODEL NO: LGV31
HARDWARE VER: REV.1.1
IMEI NO: 354470061761208
ANDROID VER: 4.4.2
BASEBAND VER: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00044-M8974AAAAANPZM-2
KERNEL VER: 3.4.0
BUILD NO: KVT49L.LGV3110f
SOFTWARE VER: LGV3110f..
my relative from japan has purchased lg g2 previously which was sim locked. so he bought a unlock code for couple of dollars and unlocked it.
.
to do that, you need to find a hidden menu in which u will be able to insetr the unlocking codes(may be by pressing #* and*number combinations)
.
*but in. au isai lg v31. we can not find that hidden menu in which he code is to be fed. i have searched and came to know*that hey have remove that part in an firmware update.
.
so one solution is that we downgrade the firmware and buy code and insert it. or we root it. (i dont know, whether rooting solve problem or not and i also havent found perfect solution to do that)
.
*or we might check on internet that which is the latest update available for au isai lg v31 and check is there that hidden*menu present in that firmware or not
Calling out for help!
I have this model and it happened the same. On firmware versions below LGV3110f the network is unlocked and you can access the hidden menu. When trying to go through the unlocking process com.lge.hiddenpersomenu all 5 options show "Your phone is not personalized." I've read in many threads that this means the network is unlocked, however I still see the "Phone is SIM Network Subset locked" message when I put my SIM card (Optus in Australia). So this means that the lock is done by software. I am currently running LGV3120h firmware with Android 5.0.2.
Does anyone know if there is a compatible CyanogenMod build we could use? I am trying to flash the d855 international version and see if I'm lucky.
Any help would be appreciated!!

The phone itself should be unlocked, no need to input any codes just insert the SIM card and reboot the phone. Don't do any more OTA updates or your phone will be locked by software again!

In settings go to about phone then software info.
Bootloader u1,2,3 can be rooted. U4 and 5 can't.
thanks for the info.

No unfortunately theres not and the dev who was working on a patch for U4,5... root has moved on. Only way is to buy a exynos model or ask a retailer to look at bootloader versions before buying to ensure U1,2,3

thanks pal
Forgive my stupidity. I can see how to get the info, but exactly which one is the boot loader version? Seeing as there as nothing that specifically says bootloader, I’m confused. The only “U” I see is in multiple reference to the N950U1. Is that the BL version? As in I have version 1? Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get an answer on where on that screen the bootloader ver is? I may just as stupid but there is very few places there is a U. On my screen I have a U_8, U_S but nothing with U# ????

Nope, not a peep. Must be some sort of National secret.
Look at baseband version in software information under phone info in settings.
Bootloader (BL) version is 5th digit from right:
In my case baseband is N950U1UES5CRG9, so my BL version is 5.
N950USQS5CRK1 is bootloader version 5, right?
Yes

I still don't follow. Exactly where in the software info section do I find the bootloader version number?

Hello, My baseband version is N950FXXS8DSK1. So my bootloader version is 8?. I thought there are five versions. How it can be 8?

There was an update July 1st or so. But yea..........I accidentally updated not paying attention. Still haven't been able to determine if the new safestrap method of rooting will work with bootloader V8 on the N950U variant. Certainly hope so!!!!
There's more than 5. I'm on 7 now: N950USQS7DTE5
I just received a replacement STF-AL10 honor9 and have been looking at the paid services for unlocking the bootloader. Both FunkyHuawei and dc-unlocker state that the bootloader unlocking service is not available. I was never clear what they did to get the unlock code except that there was a website or database that you have to access. I'm wondering if that site has been shutdown. Regardless, are there any paid services that are still functioning?
Thanks.

It seems to be paused or really slowed down everywhere for now/good?
What security patchs date and which build number your device you got back has?

Easy way, wait for third party seller to reopen the service.
Hard way, open device, use testpoint, use paying software DC-Phoenix with STF BoardSoftware and Do Not erase or flashover your oeminfo.
Then read bootloader's code in BoardSoftware firmware.
Then unlock and update.
It's too bad to open a brand new device... Thks huawei for not providing BL code.
It's told huawei India and or Russia may give it to you...

That's fine. It seems right now that none of the paid services are working. I don't know what they do behind the scene, but it seems like the database/web page they use is inaccessible right now.

I checked FunkyHuawei and their bootloader unlocking service is down. Same with Global-unlocking and dc-unlocker. Ministry of Solutions said I would have to downgrade to Nougat before I could unlock (which I don't fully understand why). Are there any other paid services that are working?
Thanks.

They have an interesting message on their web site:
WE ARE TESTING THE HUAWEI BOOTLOADER CODES NOW: AFTER TEST RESULTS ORDERS WILL BE PROCEED
Sounds like they're having issues retrieving the unlock codes.
Looks like the bootloader unlock service offered by FunkyHuawei might be back up:
https://funkyshop.club/unlockcodes
This is a new page that I haven't seen before and it's significantly more expensive ($127 USD). I've sent an email to their support to see what the actual status is.

127 USD... Not worth, it would be worth on something expensive like the Huawei Mate line... For this price you are better off selling the h9 and getting something developer friendly. If you insist on using custom ROMs just stay away from Huawei/Honor.
