Hi all,
Anybody who has experience with the turbo sim to unlock the x10?
Since I have no credit card and local services ask at least 40 euro for unlock ,the turbo sim (locally advertised for 10 euro) seems like an option,but will it work?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
i have heard only lil about the turbo sim , but from what i know u can go to some store and find out than seeing online .. coz u cant say whether the turbo sim they offer is proper or not ..until u see it working !!
hope m not wrong
and
helps u a bit ...
thnk if it helps!!!
Well,I decided to take the plunge and ordered the turbosim...Think it's worth a shot,10 bucks ain't that much,and if it isn't working on my x10 I'll sell it again,only after testing in some documented compatible phone of course..
Will post again to share my experience.
You will face hardware issues later with these sims.
The very first problem that you will face is battery life will come down drastically.
Sorry i haven't used the Turbo Sim unlocking to unlock MY Mobile from Network Lock,If you expect the Low cost and get the Unlock service means ,you cannot Unlock it easily and safely,So better get the Unlock code that is best.So you can unlock it secure.You can buy the unlock code from the site Onlinegsmunlock.com and Unlock it from Network Lock.
Hello,
I have a problem with the band/network of the k10000 PRO.
So I want to reinstall the ROM (official of Oukitel).
I have installed the driver MTK for windows, FlashTool v5.1724 (I have tried with older version too).
I have downloaded the Oukitel K10000 PRO official ROM.
When I click on upload I have an error STATUS_SEC_DL_FORBIDDEN (0xC0020003) with DA_PL.bin
and STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003) with MTK AllInOne
I have test with VOL+ pushed but nothing.
Any Idea ?
I am on Windows 7 64 bits.
Thanks
It's good now.
Just NOT check preloder and upload normaly.
But always, I have my network problem (band problem). The phone work only on the 1800 Mhz frequency. Very few time I have network. Only in big city...
I have a crash of com.android.phone when I try to change the band for the MTK processor.
When I type * # * # 4636 # * # * it's work. I can change network but modifications disapear when I come back in the Menu .
If I clic on Phone Information (normal menu to select EURO band) it crash (com.Android.com).
In the youtube videos, this is the menu where they correct the problem.
I think the best way to resolve the problem and know if it's material (physical) or software it's to try the Rom Stock of nougat. But I want to keep the Oukitel ROM.
I know there is one user have exactly the same problem (com.android.phone crash at the the menu).
I have try to disable the automatic time but nothing.
Very disapointed of this new phone.

Yes, I have sent a 5th mail today (in china language).
I have found a lot of video of the problem :

I hope they will sent an update quickly....
I received my Oukitel K10000 Pro yesterday and noticed quite soon that the cellular reception is quite bad. It doesn't want to work inside the house at all. Never had reception issues with my previous (actually still current...) LG Nexus 4. I can make phone calls from the balcony but that's about it. Marginally better reception there?
Also the phone makes weird chirping sound during phone calls ~0.5s in the 2-3kHz range, one chirp every 2 minutes?
During the phone call I noticed that If I moved inside where the reception was bad, I could still hear the other person speaking but I was muted. Not familiar enough with GSM technology to say if that's even possible/reasonable
Made comparison of the received signal strength value and both phones show up at
-87...-97dBm asu ~10
UPDATE:
- I haven't touched the Android image at all so its the stock one.
Hello,
Very strange (for the problem of listen someone else). I think it is just a temporally problem. I had this problem occasionnaly but not since some years....
It is very difficult to find someone who have an k10000 pro who works correctly...
Regards.
hello..i have the same problem in greece too......the phone is really amazing......the only thing is the signal reception....when i am in the city is full....when i go outside is nothing....bands are missing from the software or the antena of the phone is problematic ? i see that this is a problem to many of us in europe....people from france,slovenia,albania,slovakia,finland all have the same problem......oukitel should make an update to the firmware adding new bands and then if still dosent work then it will be the faules antena.....but first we have to se if this is a band missing problem.........its a pitty for this amazing phone ......
UPDATE:
I just got my K10000 Pro back from warranty repair. My retailer contacted Oukitel and they suspected it could be a bad antenna cable (they had some bad batch?). So that's what they changed for me and the issue went away. Really happy for my phone now \o/
Hello,
Who is tour reseller ?
Thanks
I bought my Oukitel from e-ville.
PS.
I'd have added a link but the forum didn't allow.
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
OK thanks. Me on Gearbest. The phone as returned but no news actually.
waiting for new antenna..lets see....
Same issue, opened up the phone. The antenna cable was broken. Sending it back for repair is not an option since it costs way too much. bought from tinydeal lets see how they react to it. Need to find the antenna cable. Could not find it locally.
Made a video when i was opening the phone
If you wanna look at it search for in youtube
Oukitel K10000 pro Signal Issue !! found the problem
Cannot post link i am a new user
Hello,
After 3 weeks in silence, Oukitel send me a message to me with Facebook. It confirm I have a problem of antenna. So now, the problem is known for them.
They want to send me the antenna (free) but I have return the phone to gearbest and I was refunded.
So, it's too late for me.
May be the max or an other brand now...

you are lucky to be able to get a refund, i checked with the shipment from my country it is almost half the price of the phone. My money is at waste. If anyone looking for a phone with antenna issue and can bear the shipping costs i will gladly mail them.
For send it to Asia (From France), it cost 36 euros. Paypal as refunded me 30 (the max). So it cost at the final, 6 euros for me.
If you paid with paypal, you can ask them 30 euros for the shippement.
Regards.
Same problem here too.
Hello guys,
I live in the Netherlands now and my folks came to visit.
While they were here, they bought an S9+ (SM-965F) for themselves on Belsimpel (on the store) and took it to Brazil.
We asked the guy if the phone was completely unlocked and he said yes, but...
When we were unboxing the phone, it said: "European SIM Only."
We then tried inserting two SIM Cards at the same time, one from Italy (TIM Italia) and another one from Brazil (VIVO Brazil).
In Brazil, we never get asked for PIN/PUK, so when it booted up, we entered the default Italian PIN (0000).
It said it was wrong, so I tried again a couple of times and it did not work at all.
I thought it was weird, but I could call him on the Italian number and that was all I cared for the moment.
Fast forward a few days, they went back to Brazil and..... VIVO does not work.
My father went to a VIVO store and they could not solve it.
He went to a Samsung store, nothing...
He even went to ANATEL (Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications) to see if the IMEI was blocked somehow, it wasn't.
Please help us to get it working with VIVO!
well... solved!
I got him an european SIM card and made a call over 10 minutes to him, that region-unlocked the phone, according to Samsung.
So Sammie are still doing the 5 minutes of calls with a particular SIM before itll work overseas... Well that sucks..
Yea I've heard this regards the Indian version, you've got to use an Indian sim before any other works
It's designed to keep companies from importing large numbers of gray market phones to resell, while still making it possible for individuals to buy a phone in one market and use in another.

Quick question... Did you buy a Dutch sim card (prepaid), send it to him in Brazil and then made a 10 minute phone call to this Dutch sim card in Brazil? And that solved the problem? I bought the same phone also from Belsimpel and have the same problem now in Colombia, even though I made two 5 min calls using a KPN sim card before leaving the Netherlands. But so basically I can borrow a European sim card from someone here , put it in my phone and have someone call me from Europe? Thanks for confirming. Best.

Hi!
I landed him my old italian sim card.
We spoke for about 30 minutes in that call, so I am not sure for how long you should be on the call, but it worked!
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. As it turned out my phone was not region locked as I had made 12 minutes worth of calls while in the Netherlands, using a local sim card. There might have been an easier solution for you though: I was told by Samsung that they have region unlock codes for such cases. You would simply have to request such code from Samsung in the country where you bought the phone.
My problem was different and had to do with the message "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK". Unfortunately, neither Samsung nor my Colombian provider could help me. I kept being referred from one to the other. My Colombian sim card would work on other phones so that was not the issue. My phone would not accept any Colombian sim card and it seems it had to do with the registration of phone itself in Colombia. In the end the only solution to unblock my phone was to use an online unblocking service. This worked perfectly. My phone was unblocked and I was then able to register my phone in Colombia without any problems. Shame this has to be so complicated but I am glad to be able to use my phone now.
My phone was bought in the UAE and Samsung Pay app etc doesnt work now that I am based in the UK. Samsung next to useless. Can i resolve this by getting a UAE sim (god knows how i'll do that) and then get someone from within the UAE to call me for say 20 minutes?
Does anyone know that if we do a factory reset then do we need to do this 5 minutes call again?

Wich unlocking services you used? I have the same problem, I live in Argentina
...
I wrote to about 10 of them, some did not reply, some did not come over as trustworthy and some said they could not unlock dual sim phones. In the end I used UnlockBoot. You can chat with them via their site or write to them via. I cannot post links but you will find them after a quick Google search. It cost a bit more than some others (USD 49) but they did it via TeamViewer and it was well worth it. Just a tip: once you get the code I had a long delay when entering each digit: enter a digit, wait, listen for the click, then enter the next. Best of luck!

I will send a quick DM to you! thanks in advice
It did solve it for me, yes.
All I needed to do is call my father while he had an European SIM on his phone for 30m.

Sorry for being a pain in the ass. But, He put the sim and.. connected to Roaming for receiving your call? Or not? And so, I can pay you for you to call me? I can give you paypal or anyway you want. I just want this phone to work </3

You are not being a pain in the ass, mate.
You do not need roaming for this as roaming is just for data.
You just need to have enough credits to receive a 30-minute phone call.
I imagine you can get away with a lot less than 30, but we did 30 to make sure we would not have to start over.
Good luck!

There is no need for payments.
All you have to do is receive a call in that number for a number of minutes.
My guess is that 20 minutes would work, but I have done it with 30.
I would talk for 30 minutes with someone on the phone just to make sure it works.
Now... for the call to work, you need to have credits in the UK SIM Card because, even if you are RECEIVING a phone call, you will spend credits because you are receiving a call outside of the country of origin of the SIM card.
If you use your Argentinian SIM card in Europe, you will pay per minute to receive calls too... its just how it works.
So make sure you got around 25-30 pounds (i know, kinda expensive but it is worth it) on the SIM's account and then someone have to call that number.
I would use VoIP to make the call, since it the number is in the UK.
After that, you can shut down the phone and put the Argentinian SIM in.
My father could not believe we cracked this problem after the call.. it is an amazing feeling to finally being able to use your phone like a normal phone.
Good luck, man!
Let me know how it goes!
I'm not sure if it would help somebody. I was also facing this problem with region lock.
I bought a Samsung M30s 128GB (SM-M307F/DS) in India and used just the Wifi while in India. Then I went to Dubai and put in a local SIM card from du.ae and it clearly said region locked. I was not able to call.
After I went back home to Germany, I was leaving the phone switched on without a SIM card inside for a few days and then inserted my local T-Mobile contract SIM and it just works. Was doing several calls yesterday and today without issues. I found it weird because I never removed the region lock.
Maybe it can help someone try something.
Hello, I'm new here so sorry for question if something like that is already answered somewhere.
I bought used Huawei P20 lite, in package got the original box, phone, bill, warranty , headphones and charger. All seems right until i tryed to turn it on. It is locked on the google account that is used by first owner. I tryed to conntact him but no success in that.
Now what to do? Should I go to the service with bill and warranty to unlock it or there is some tutorial or something to unlock it from home.
Thank you in advance and greetings from Croatia.
