Hello,
I bought a one x+ on year ago but had to send it to HTC for repair.
They had to do a boardswap, but put a simlock on my device.
I live in belgium but my device was o2 branded, i never had a simlock when i bought it.
Apparently the shop were i bought my device imported the device from UK.
Now HTC put a simlock on my device because they saw it was an o2 device.
Is their a working method to remove it ?
I dont mind to pay for it but i need it unlocked.
I already bought some unlock codes online but always get a refund because my new imei is not in the database...
Hope someone can help me...
Kind regards,
eth2
You will likely just have to just wait until the imei gets in the databases.
I am not aware of any other method of sim unlocking it right now. sorry.

Hiya,
I've has organised myself a new XDA 2, does anyone know if these can be unlocked to any network like the original XDA?
Regards,
Chris
Now that the XDA II is to sale, I hope it will be possible very soon to unlock it :wink: , a friend will bought one for me in UK , and I need to have it simfree ...to use it, unless that, it will be a PPC Phone Edition, with no phone ! :roll:

Unlocking from O2
Hi,
What number at O2 did you call to unlock the phone and what excuse did you you use?
Thanks,
K
no excuse...just asked for the unlocking code..and they charged me £15
Hi, do you have the number? I checked in 3 shops and they claimed no unlocking options for 12 months... :?
Unlocking
Called O2 and they said they would unlock it... however they didnt give me an unlocking code... they said they will take care of things for me.
Can they do it from their side? I thought I was suppose to enter some code to unlock the device or at least thats what I have done in the past with an Ericsson phone I had...
Can someone help? dont want them charging me for nothing...
K
Number is
08702 410 202
Option 0
they need to give u a code which you need to enter once u put a non o2 sim card in the xda2
Or run SimLock.exe (hidden file in Windows directory)
Out of interest, what was your unlock code?
No luck... O2 wont unlock because its a new contract... Didnt like their attitude might take the phone back tomorrow...
Mine is a new contract & "Darren" in Warrington definately said to me that they would unlock on payment of £15 and my whole year's contract in advance. He checked with his manager & that was confirmed.
Ring 'em back. They are being totally inconsistent.
my xda is on a three month old contract and they gave me the unlock code without any fuss
Every 1 in O2 sing a different song!
When I bought my XDA 1 I paid O2 £15 to unlatch it so I could use it on any network. So when I upgraded (over the phone with O2) to the XDA2 I told them I wanted that unlatched too.
No problem, they said, just call customer services when it arrives.
After being given many different stories by O2 they finally gave me the unlatching code.
The problem is that when I entered it the phone rejected it every time although O2 checked the IMEI number several times.
Finally they tell me that they have an arrangement with HTC (The manufacturers) not to allow the unlatching of the XDA2 to any network other than O2!!!
It would have been nice if O2 staff had been advised of that and not told me there would be no problem and then given me a code that doesn't work!!
I have sold my XDA 1 and bought accessories for the XDA 2 so I am now out of pocket and fully intend writing to O2 claiming I have been mis-sold. That is, unless anyone out there knows how to unlock the phone so the unlatching code works ??
I shall persevere with hassling O2 until I get it unlocked though I cannot see how any of you out there have managed this when O2 staff have so adamantly informed me that they simply cannot and will not be unlocking the XDA2 for any but O2 network until next year!! :x :x
it may be that the staff who i spoke to were not aware of this policy and just treated like any other handset...i am not even using my o2 sim card but using it on t-mobile and vodaphone.
i have read all the responses on this page and the sim lock exe has been metioned but what does this programe do i would love to know
Please, xda-developers , can you find a way to desimlock XDA II ???
I was suppose to receive my unlock code , paying 15£ to O2 , and 650 £ full price with no contract ; IMEI and bill have been sent by O2 store to the Central stuff, but now, they said , no more unlock !!!
So that means, as I leave in France, that I can use my XDA II only like normal PPC and not PPC Phone , and that I will have to buy a phone !!! :evil:
Simlock.exe is the program that runs when you have a SIM inserted that is not belonging to O2 - asks you for the unlock code.
Alternatively can be run as standalone exe for the same purpose.
rustek/tenzin
They cannot legally NOT allow you to unlock the phone if you request it. It is against OFTEL regulations in this country. If they persist, just mention that to them, further non-cooperation, ring OFTEL and get them to intervene - the "watchdog" is there for our benefit.
Hi, I've just bought an XDA 2 off contract, SIM FREE. However even though it's not locked to a network when you put a non-O2 sim card in it asks for an unlock code.
Does anybody know the unlock code to make it SIM FREE, or is it specific to each device???
Which means it is locked to a network, namely O2, the only way to get the unlock at the moment is from O2.

I met the same problem. I sent email to O2 Data support and explain situation. They asked me copy of the receipt, model number and IMEI of the unit. And at least i've got code. So, you must proof that you bought unit off contract.
can you tell me the email address you sent it to?
thanks

The same as in User Guide [email protected]
O2 have unlocked my xda2,
I provided them with imei only and they were very helpful, if only they could start to make their xda's unlocked in future so that we dont all have this trouble.
o2 are impossible!!
i think i need a miracle to get a unlatching code any time soon!
any miracle workers out there contact me plzzz!!
thanking u in advance
Well, I'm also waiting for a miracle, after several hours on the phone with no results....and from France , it's a lot of money....for nothing !!!
i bought the XDA2 @ expansys (ok it s more expensive) but i get the unlock code included in the package on a paper sheet as well and it worked perfectly on French and belgian networks
Hi ! Cyberbob, after an ultimate call to O2 , i'll probably do like you and sell my xda2 locked as a simple pda ....
But don't believe it's more expensive on Expansys (LOL !) , I have paid 1030 euros to the guy who bought the xda2 for me in Uk , plus around 8 hours of phone calls to UK from france....so I think , Expansys price is not so bad , and your xda2 is sim free ! :wink:
the price for exclusivity of having the first XDA2 in France
i guess it will be to bad to sell it as a simple PDA i hope you ll find a better solution

I have 3 Athena but they seems to have sim lock any assitance on this one?
Please help can it be unlocked Via T-mobile website?
Thank alot this very important for me
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you need to contact them and request it, you might need to pay as well
I assume that having 3 means you bought them elsewhere than on contract?
Or do you have 3 contracts?
You also said Athena, not Ameo. I thought the Athena was unlocked already?
Can you clarify the situation a little please?

nope said Ameo and it is T-Mobile locked yet bought from ebay i am in Russia need them for local use
so anyway i can unlock it i am willing to pay..

i think you also needs to be the original owner of Ameo inorder to unlock it. I have bough a T-mobile MDA PRO from ebay before as well, and the only way to unlock it officially is to get the owner to call them and get the code for me.
I had a z2 from which I unlocked via o2 for free ( excellent service ) but my phone became faulty so sent it off to Sony for repair. Sony sent me a replacement phone which was o2 branded and o2 locked. I asked o2 for the unlock code but have been told the imei isn't on the database.
So I want to try buying an unlock code but wanted someone who's bought one successfully to recommend someone to me.
Anyone help ?
Thanks Si

Unlocked both my z1 and z2 from this ebayer. It will take a few days but it'll definitely work. Read the description first.
At £15 yes it's a lot but cheapest I could find and with eBay you could always refund if something goes wrong.
As for Sony repair service I need to send mine in too maybe you could take a look at my thread and help me out too.

Thanks for the link , found that myself earlier so might give that a go if o2, Sony or HTCCODE ( I've bought a code from them for £18 already last Tuesday ) don't come through

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I am in the same situation.
I have a z2 which I bought from vodafone, without a sim. I got it unlocked back in January no problem via an ebay seller.
Recently, I had to send my z2 back to sony for repair due to a charging problem, which was fixed (by replacing the board).
Great, but they also sent it back locked to vodafone, with different IMEI.
Vodafone will not unlock it even though I'm willing to pay.
Several ebay sellers have failed, saying things like "server problems" and "not found in database"
I'm really stuck, I'm on my 5th ebay unlocker now but not very optimistic about it.
The phone is not barred, it's only showing a network lock with tries available in the service info screen, as expected.
Does anyone know of a service that will work? I've had my z2 back for 3 weeks now and cannot use it
How can I unlock the phone?
I don't want to pay for a company to send me a code.
I notice there are no ROMs available anywhere for this phone, i'm only asking as I got this as an upgrade phone but I bought a HTC One M8 last year when in my contract, its on EE but I want to give the 610 to my dad who is on Virgin and i'm 99% sure this phone will be locked to EE.
Thanks

usually network operators can give you the PUK code for free, check the EE website or call their customer service
