universal SIM UNLOCK (plz i need an answer)

hello guyz, i have been asking this question since a while here but got no answer.
has anybody in this forum ever tried the services of IMEI ceck for unlocking the UNIVERSAL, they are the only guyz in the market claiming to have the MAGIC STICK that unlocks those complicated phones, anyway i was just wondering and would love to know if anybody here has tried unlocking his UNiversal throught them.
the reason of my question is, can this be logical, that they are the only genuises on earth getting to unlock the UNI
and thanks alot

Try searching the forums, it is what the search button is for. :wink:
In answer to your question, there are people who have used them, but there is an unlocker on the way.
Also, what model universal is it? Some vendors supply the unlock code for around £20 > £30

lol thanks bro, but i know about this Provider solution, the thing is i have a MDA PRO, and ive got him through the internet, T mobile told me that they dont have its IMEI in thier database, and based upon no UNLCOK code what i find **** is that i have no idea whas wrong with my MDA PRO and its IMEI is not reported stolen, so im sure its not an illegal deal or something, my only hope is an UNLOCK TOOL nothing else

It could be from T-Moblie is a different country, andas such the counry that you are in would not have record of another countri's imei.

I have an MDA Pro from T-Mobile UK, I am in the UK. According to them my IMEI is not in their database either, so they can not unlock the phone to work with my tmobile sim.
I am beginning to think they are a bunch of idiots

is it actually lock the o2 version of the universal dosent seam to be locked

You guys with Tmobile phones not being in the database, have you considered buying a pay as you go SIM and registering it with the IMEI. You can often get such SIMs for free anyway.
Not sure if it will help though!

well thanks for the answers.
but ive gone even further than what you will think, i made a T-mobile subscription in order to be able to use my universal. and i tried calling em to get the unlock code, but they said they dont have it and my IMEI is not in thier database, its bull**** i mean i got the devcie new not a second hand or used or anything, and it got all its DUtch user manuals and CDs so it cant just be from another country, its a dutch phone from the dutch T-mobile, but yet they dont have my IMEI this is way toooo wiered, i dont know where did my device come from lolll. and one thing im sure of, its not stolen

SOS
Dear All,
Is it possible to unlock the SIM on universal
Is tit possible to change the language on the phone from french to English
Can you please guide me on how to do the above as I dont speak french
Is it possible to save the current settings on the phone if the above fails
as the operator sayzs that the warrantz on the phone is void if the language is changed or the SIM is unlocked
My current configuration
operatpor 7.113.5.132
Rom version 1.13.51 FRE
Rom Date 22-09-2005
Radio 1.03.00
Protocol Version 42.36.P8
Ext rom 1.13.132 FRE

abellah30, 3 posts asking same thing? and one question has been asnswered in this thread....
Currently it is NOT possible to unlock the universal without sending to imei check or getting the code from the operator.

If you bought the phone with a subscription, phone up T-Mobile and tell them to send you a new phone. They told me that is what they [T-Mobile UK] would have to do as they didn't have the IMEI details

The unlock codes are only n the database after a while
also some phones are never in the database and they need to contact the manufacturer

cannot register on selected network...

HTC HD2, cannot register on selected network

Hi all, maybe someone has an answer here. Tried other threads, but some are slightly different then mine. I've bought this phone second-handed. Had it unlocked but it wong register on 3mobile network. The phone was a T-mobile, and its sim-card works fine. The 3mobile sim-card work fine in my xperia x10. Thinking about being branded, i debranded the phone, but still no luck. Still giving me the exclamation marc by the antenna with an "X" beside it.
So what i want (need) if no one has an answer for this is: Can i go back to the T-Mobile brand again? Again, i read some threads, but they are a bit confusing for a newby as me! Sorry!!
If i can do so, how it has to be done, so i can send to T-mobile or HTC itself so they can have a look..
Thank you very much for your help!

Same problem... have you figured it out?
thanks
dennis

any updates on this? same problem here.
tried hard reset, soft reset, reinstalled new ROM, flashed back to TMOUS stock rom... no go.
if i do a manual search for networks, HD2 finds them, but can't register.
phone connection is ON.
band set to Auto.

There is a thread similar to this on this forum about a month ago. They found out that that the phone was registered as stolen and the ieme was blocked. There is nothing that you can do about it.

has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?

My gf just started having this problem today. She's had the phone for almost 3-4 months now, so I don't understand if someone mixed up IMEI's or what?
The phone won't register onto T-mobile... this sux! and its not even stolen...

did you call t-mobile? Call 877-453-1304 and tell the automated moron "PDA" and it will transfer you to smartphone tech support.

Hi,
Same problem here, bought the mobile on eBay from Portugal , was working for weeks, since this morning can't register in Sweden anymore..Sim works fine in my old phone and HD2 finds networks etc just can't register..
How i can check is it stolen?
regards

Problem
Same here, search finds 3 and O2 networks, but can't register these two different cards... Anyone solved this problem?

[Q] my HTC wildfire has been Bricked

hi all
it seems my phone has been bricked, i can use any other providers simcards at all to make and receive calls, i have the limited connection icon coming up and the reception bars with an X on it.
is there any way i can unbrick my phone please?

That's not bricked. It won't even turn on if its bricked. Is mobile networks turned on? Has the apn list been wiped/corrupted?
I'm no expert @ this stuff but it sounds fixable. Try flashing the ruu again?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

hi
i can see all the networks, i think i need an IMEI repair as it looks it has been blocked because the simards work perfectly on other phones.
is there anyway i can fix this please?

I'm @ work n have rubbish signal so can't provide links, search the forum, there's sure to be something. I would seriously try reflash the ruu tho. What Rom r u using?

no worries, i def dont think its the forum, i think the phone has been blocked by network, so the only way i think is IMEI repair but i could be wrong and its using the latest rom.
i,m searching for a way to change the imei number, if you know someone or someway of doing this it will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

IMO the IMEI cannot be change. If the phone is really blocked by your provider, ask there for unlocking. Maybe there is a stolen phone with nearly the same IMEI, and the did a mistake by entering the code ?
Otherwise return the phone back to shop.

its very strong possability thats the case, if its that difficult then no probs guys, i just though there is a way to do it?

Nope.
Not possible.

So, erm, you have a stolen wildfire which has been simblocked and you want to know how to change the IMEI? Naughty!

all i wanted is to have a working phone, and help to get it to work not crap and abuse, for those users with less kind words all i have to say you let this site down.

[Q] Need advise URGENTLY!!!

Hello everyone,
Well, here I am again... Seems like the last question is too long or maybe too hard so, no one reply or give me some idea...
This one is easier... After over a month that my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 can't use as a phone... I decided to call Samsung Service today and the Samsung engineer there told me that... because the phone that I have is the outside country phone so, when the operator knows that I use the phone that is not paid tax to import they cut off my signal that's why I can't use this S4 phone as a PHONE!!!
The Samsung engineer advise me that I need to change the board which will cost me about 6500 bahts and because my phone is not in warranty I have to pay another 1000 bahts for service, which means I have to pay about 243 US. Dollars for them...well let's say 245 US.Dollars...in case the currency change tomorrow...
The status of the phone is all unlock... Since the very first day that I bought the phone it can make call and connect 3G, can connect WiFi...can do anything this S4 phone supposed to do for me until the efs corrupted and imei and serial numbers changed... after I fix all the problem the phone works fine except can't make any call... said not registered on network...
So, my friends... please, advise... Do I really need to change the board(for 245 US.Dollars) to make the phone becomes a PHONE again or...there is another solution for this...(Maybe I should buy new phone...that's not Samsung...)
Is it true that...when your operator knows that you use the phone that's not for your country they will block your signal...?(I use prepaid phone...) I asked my operator they said it's the phone's problem...well the Samsung guy said it's the phone's problem also and the only way to fix it is to change the board...(Seriously???... :crying
I've ever use the phone that I bought from outside country before... It works fine... maybe because it never had imei problem...
Please, I need your opinion... tomorrow I'll go see the Samsung guy... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Angel S.

Sounds like a bogus story to me, bought my I9505 in Germany yesterday and use it without problems in the Netherlands. Connected to the T-Mobile network (data and speech). Maybe your phone (Imei) is listed as stolen and blocked from the networks.

Imei is clean...

So, turn it in for repair or request a new device. Should be covered by warranty, so no issue if you`re legit. Don`t go asking here how to change the Imei number or i`am going to report you to a moderator.

Do you understand English...?

I think I make myself clear enough... I posted in here 3 threads. All questions about how to fix my phone's problem. In those threads I told everyone that my phone has no warranty with Samsung... That's why I need some advise from people here...
This thread... is about... DO I REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE BOARD? FOR FIXING MY PHONE'S PROBLEM...(CAN'T MAKE ANY CALL...) NOT HOW TO CHANGE IMEI...!!!!!
Can't you see?... DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH???...
I need your opinion... if you think there's no way I can fix the phone back to normal to make it can call in or out...then I will go to Samsung and said I give up... Just change the board no matter what it cost...
So what do you want from me huh???... Just read the thread carefully before point your finger at me... I REALLY HATE THAT!!!

If you haven`t backed up your EFS folder and so cannot restore it then yes a new board is the only way to get it to work again. Here is a link about EFS http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...2dkJLSsPmgeBTBMgifxyhGA&bvm=bv.49641647,d.ZWU. There are many more links on Google.

Thank you...

Ok...thanks for the link... and sorry for my temper... you have no idea how much stress I have, it's been over a month now that all I can do is searching through internet read thousands of threads and comments and here I am...only few steps to the goal...but I can't reach it...
So, please let me explain a little bit more of my situation...
The phone works... I can connect to internet. Use social app like whatsapp, line, facebook, twitter and many more... but can't make any call... the imei is also fine... when I dial *#06# it shows up my original imei... the serial number is fine...when I check the phone's status it shows the original S/N, The baseband is also shows in phone's status too... the signal bar is full most of the time...
So, the only thing is not fine is... I can't make any call...(even the signal is full...) that's all... when I dial number and make call it said "Not registered on network" I have the efs backup now. The good one...so, thank you for the link...actually I've ever tried that before but I guess it doesn't hurt to do it again...
Tomorrow I'll meet Samsung technician... to see what he can do...
Best regards,
Angel S.
