Hi, I just wanted some help regarding unlocking my Lumia. I am a bit confused at the moment, is an interop unlock possible or not? It is currently chevron unlocked with chevron labs which I paid $9 for but a lot of the stuff I want to do can't be done without an interop unlock.
The phone was bought on contract, t-mobile UK but it was bought from a special cashback website and the phone is unlocked and has no branding that I can notice, no splash screen etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Your phone is chevron unlocked, not interop unlocked. At the moment the Chevron Labs* and AppHub unlocks are the only unlocks possible for the Lumia. (Apart from sim unlock which is possible but for now will cost you a lot of money.)
To see why it cannot be interop unlocked, digg trough the following threads:
- [GUIDE] INTEROP-UNLOCK for MANGO - No 0x81030120 (Samsung/LG/HTC 1st gen)
- The WindowBreak Project
You may also want to search for my last messages as i have explained a couple of times now why it's not possible.
* Chevron Labs unlock are sold out for the moment, but since you already got a token that's not a problem here.
Unfortunately interop-unlock is not yet possible for the Lumia 800 or any other 2nd Gen device if I am not mistaken. The Chevron unlock only allows 10 max of sideloaded apps and can't edit the registry.
Ok, well guess I'll have to stick to the chevron unlock for now. Is there any indication of when an interop unlock will be available or at least a registry editor?
Its too hard to wait
Isnt it ??
i hope someone achieve interop unlock soon
Lets hope so, loving WP but just a few things i'd like to change. Accent colour, navigation letters on the app list.

Anyone have any ideas on how to unlock this phone?

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?

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.
Anyone knows of a good way to SIM unlock the Nokia 710 for free via an exploit or program?
It's literally too new, nowhere will be able to unlock it yet. Cellunlocker.net are due to have codes for the 710 within a couple weeks, but I reckon it will take even longer than this.

Dude, it won't take long, seriously. I'm going to email cellunlocker.net again tomorrow to see if there's any progress.

I think they (cellunlocker) can unlock it on some networks right now anyways, it's only the more stubborn ones (O2 UK) that are a bit more tricky and take longer. If you're in the states then check with them now as they might be able to do it.
I tried cellunlocker and they couldn't do my 710 on Vodafone, so gave me a refund.
Currently waiting on Vodafone to get an unlock code for me (it was the same price with them anyway). Apparently Vodafone just put the request in with Nokia themselves so should be more successful.
Vodafone issue N95 unlocking tutorial for Lumia 710 - FAIL!
OK! I unbelievably got my Lumia 710 unlock code from Vodafone with 8 hours (yes! I said 8 hours). GREAT!!
...until you try to put the code in the phone. The code issued uses an old Symbian style code starting with #pw+, however it is impossible to enter the pw+ symbols using the WP7 dialpad. And just make sure it is more difficult than ever they link to an N95 unlocking tutorial.
Tried:
entering the code with the dial pad - no joy
creating a contact with the unlock code as part of their details - no joy
only entering the numerical parts of the code - no joy
No luck with these so I sent Vodafone email request to sort it out so I will keep you posted as to what's happening. That said, I'm not convinced they'll come back with anything as this seems to have been going on since December looking at some of the Nokia forums.
I tried putting in another network's SIM to trigger the 8 digit pin unlock prompt but strangely nothing happened. So either the Lumia 710 was shipped unlocked (again something I'd heard on the forums and a wasted £20) or the BT SIM card I used is accepted by the Vodafone networks as BT is an MVNO piggy-backing Vodafone.
I suspect the unlock codes issued are incorrect so trying to uses another more featured dialpad from the WP7 marketplace to enter the code would probably be pointless.
I suppose it's a question of sittingg this one out until WP7 - Vodafone - Nokia sort this out and start issuing 8 digit unlock codes.

AFAIK, you can check the unlock-state on the 800 via ##782#. You can try this on your phone as well.

That code doesn't work.
You have to hit call after entering it, then this (or similar) should appear:
I would appreciate help if anyone can I have jail broken the device the wp7 root tools is appearing but my sim is locked after jail breaking; however before it was working fine.

According to my experience,Paid unlocking service is the best and secure way to unlock your Nokia lumia 710 .If you want unlock code visit Simpleunlocking.com They will ask your mobile model no,country,network provider.After that they will send your unlock code via e-mail and you can get free unlock instructions from

I am guessing you are a little new to Windows Phone right? Rooting is only done on Android devices.
Now to answer your question ...there are three levels of unlocking standards for WP. -I will post a link from the WP thread explaining these level of unlocks entirely when I am not busy.
http://forums.wpcentral.com/titan/189096.htm
A short a sweet version is (1) The Developer Unlock (2) The Interop Unlock (3) The God Mode Unlock -Full Unlock
As of right now, the Titan, Titan 2, - and any second gen HTC WP device is only able to do the developer unlock at the moment. -Developer unlocks can only side load apps. In order for us to have a custom ROM we must have an unlocked bootloader. -Which is also not currently available for our phones just yet.
Alrighty then, now you have a little understanding of what we can/can't do just yet. Tune in and be patient and we might get something soon.

Nope! That's a separate sort of unlocking I'm afraid. You might need unlock codes to carrier unlock.
So, what options for dev unlock titan 2?

To Dev unlock...for free...you have to be a student, otherwise if not a student you have to pay 99$ to dev unlock your phone.

$99 is not just unlock your phone. You get to publish apps you wrote and unlock up to 5 phones.

Also may I add that $99 is not one-off. It is $99 per year.
The bottom line is if you are not going to publish apps, there is no reason to spend that $99/yr. Dev unlock only gives you ability to side load apps. That's about it.
Too bad, there are several apps that I would like to be able to side-load. But that is not worth $99 annually.
Thanks

if I buy a Titan II from the US, can i use it in India and flash a current/latest custom ROMs?
From my experience with a Titan 2 there is no way to install a custom ROM or even a Stock ROM, They were only ever released for AT&T and although you can unlock them for use on other carriers you will be stuck with AT&T setings and not be able to use MMS,
At least that was what I found out earlier in the Year when I purchased one from USA,
Best of luck.
Not completely accurate -
there is one stock ROM around for the Titan II - I haven't tried it, but there you are - no one has reported back after flashing it to say if it is useful....
If you carrier unlock a Titan II and take it somewhere else it will depend if the carrier you use has the same frequencies as AT&T, and also whether the HTC connections app can help you out. The app is designed to facilitate use of HTC phones on other carriers by trying to set up the connection specs for you. I don't know how effective it is, I'm on AT&T.....
So there you go....

You are correct! Thanks to the HTC Titan II, I made absolutely sure that when I bought another device it was the Titan I, not the Titan II despite it's better camera and LTE. I'm eyeballing one of the Windows Phone 8 models but I'm saying to myself if Microsoft and carriers have perfected making the Titan II bootloader unlockable then what will the future bring. Windows Phone 7 should have been what Windows Phone 8 is and I'm hoping with the formal release of Windows Phone 7.8 in early 2013 there will be more substance to the release than just the customized tile display; I mean for Christ's sake if that is all there is to it then release it to Windows Phone 7 devices. That said, I'm hoping what is released will allow us to run programs like Skype in background.
Hi
i would like to unlock my Nokia Lumia 800.
What is the best method i should use now please ?
I gone onto chevron blog but it seems they stopped to sell tokens..
I you guys have a free method i'm of course open to any offer!
thx for help
There is this unlock method called "Search". By using this method you'll come across the diffrent levels of unlocks.
Dev. unlocks
Interop. unlocks
Root unlocks
Full unlocks
Developer unlocks can be achieved by buying an App Hub Account. If you're a Student on a School that is registered in Microsofts DreamSpark Programm you can get a Student unlock for free.
I appologies if the question doesnt belong here but i really thourougly searched before posting and i couldnt find clear answer.
Im a owner of lumia 800 unfortunatly sim locked to orange austria and bootloader locked.
Before offtopic answers i already tried talking to orange and that is not going to happen and also i couldnt find one single online service for imei unlock all of them dont support orange austria.
So my question is do you know anyone successfully unlocked lumia and what software, hardware or flashing box has used? and to you know any hardware flashing box that supports closed bootloader lumias for sim unlocking? i understand bootloader unlocking is not possible right now but a local service shop told me to leave the phone for 2 days to put it on some hardware box to calculate the key for 2 days?! and then they will unlock it but i really didnt believed them seemed littel strange never heard of that kinda unlocking. have you?
unlock
Your out of luck looking for a software solution for unlocking your lumia as your bootloader is locked, that means no access to the nand which is crucial to the unlock process.
only way you will be able to unlock it is by calling orange again, now dont quote me but i think there is a EU Law saying that after a certain time period a operator cant with held the unlock but i am not totaly sure maybe some reaseaching and telling orange the score might help
rob:good:
In the EU it's a by nation thing with different laws, in Austria there is a legal obligation to unlock the mobile phone (lucky!) but T-Mobile charges €150 for the pleasure (or €50 for out of contract phones) of unlocking an iPhone for instance.

ill try that in fact i contacted them again and they offered me unlock for 110eu. and the problem with that i think its a bit 2 much and the second one they want me to go to austria in a orange shop to show them the reciept (that i dont have it right now) and the account password that i dont have it and practictly stupid to pay airline tickets and travel to there and pay 110 eu and even that its imposible again couse theyll mail me code weeks later only in austrian adress so the only option it seems to continue to seek online service or wait some progres in the bootloader unlocking. Personaly i think it can be done but i really dont blame the developers its still a small owners community and nokia codding its not as liberal as the android manufacturers. But still i like the phone its like a piece of functional jewel
