Can someone unlock my XDA sim for me across the counter. I am more comfortable walking in and out with it instead of sending it through post. Also could not do it myself since was not too familier.
If somone could help me would be really grateful. Please send me an email at [email protected]. I am in UK (obvious)..he he.
unlocking..
Usually it's not the SIM that needs the unlocking, but the phone. If the SIM is locked (when your tried the wrong PIN three times), you need the so-called PUK-code from the cellular provider. No way around this.
Usually when people seek 'unlocking' they want a locked phone (i.e. it will only accept SIMs from one or a small set set of providers) to be set free to accept any SIM.
Let us know where in the UK you are based. Just might be able to help you

I upgrade from T-Mobile that works with our network
to O2 last Version that dose not work
How?
Please, xda-developers, please, we need to unlock our XDA II ; 'til that I just can use it as a PDA
Thank's a lot, guys, if you have time ...
o2 charged me £15 for the unlock code...got it within 48 hours
Hi,
What number at O2 did you call to unlock the phone and what excuse did you you use?
Thanks,
K
just plain customer services from my handset ..and just asked for it to be unlocked..i just said that i wanted to use a foreign sim card when abroad
xda 2 Unlock code, i have one
I have an unlock code for XDA 2, please e-mail me and I can send it to someone to see if it works. Completeley free as I don't know if it will work. :?
Unlock codes will be unique to each Xda II IMEI.
So, I very much doubt your code will work in any Xda.
I'd imagine the Xda II will be much harder to unlock than Xda I
Xda 2 Unlock
You are more than welcome to try if you wish.
No master code? Ah well, such is life.
XDA II unlock

Can you also use other UK SIMs, e.g., Vodaphone?
Could you also send the telephone number you called?
Many thanks
Unlock codes
O2 customer services are so inconsistent keep phoning everyone. I phoned three times first time I was told it could not be done, second time the woman said she would put the request in for me and it would cost me £15.00 and that she would phone me back. As she didn't phone back I phoned the next day to complain and got passed to a supervisor who told me that O2 were no longer issuing codes for the XDA II as they wanted it to be for O2 only and that this had come from the board of directors!! He add though, that if I paid my contract out which he said would be £400.00 plus the £15.00 they would consider it. I am on pay as you go so I could not do this and wouldn't anyway. I accepted this and thought I would wait for the developers here to sort it out, within 5 minutes of me putting the phone down the lady I spoke to the day before from O2 rang back and said " I have the code I requested yesterday would you like it?" Naturally I said yes, She then gave it to me asked me if she could help me with anything else, which I replied no, and she put the phone down. The best part about this is that she forgot to charge me £15.00 for the code, She hasn't taken it from my C/Card or my payg balance, BONUS!!!!! 8)
So everyone, Just Keep trying O2 Customer Services on 08702410202 and press Zero until you go through to a Human Being.
unlockin the xda 2 drama's!!
Im so sad!
jus been on phone to o2 so many times today but they jus wont unlock it!
even after saying that its against offtel regs they said its their own make so they dont hav to unlock it....
so if any1 knos of a independant shop who will help or of any1 who has a code - plz help me!!
thanks
You won't believe this!!
My Brother got an XDA II which he gave to me to get unlocked, I had no luck with normal O2 customer services. However, his contract is a corporate contract, So I used his details and after hanging around on the phone for about an hour I went through to a personal Corporate advisor who will now be e-mailing me the code in two or three days. It was so easy!!!! no questions asked. They said they would charge the acount, which is fine by me!!
The moral to this story is - if you know anyone who has a corperate acount with O2, ask them very nicely if you can use their details.
You will need - The mobile number, The company name, The company address, the O2 contact person (if possible, if not just say you don't know), The name of your mate and the IMEI number also the e-mail address of your mate with company.
Good Luck and keep trying!!
Maybe at some point we can provide some help
No promises, but we do not have locked devices ourselves. So if you could go to http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4095 with your locked device and send me some info...
Thanks,
Thanks a lot xda-devs , we are crossing fingers !!!
I went to the thread to see if I can help, but it appears to be chinese to me ... I have not Linux, but if I can help in any way, let me know by PM... :wink:
any news yet...
hi..noob here...

must be someone, somewhere...
hopefully...

Hi,
I've worked on unlocking software before.. Is there any info on exactly how the locking in this phone works? I was quite surprised to see AT commands can do it. Have they left some high level unlocking commands or are you accessing the flash/eeprom through those commands?
If the former i guess there is a checksum or some kinda signing algo? or is it even eaiser than that hehe
If the later, i guess you need to map the rom and eeprom before you can do it.
And erm.. couldnt we just upload the rom from a iMate Phone Edition (from Carrier Devices), which is the unlocked version of the XDA II (O2 rebadged it for their network)
Toxic.
Hmm having thought about that, the rom probably checks weather a lock is present. The only way that would work is if the iMate doesnt bother with any lock checks at all, rather than just comes unlocked.
Thats probably unlikey :-(

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Unfortunately, as fas as I know, the tracking apps that you are talking about (Crimson Lock is one of them) needs to be installed in the device prior to this happening. S2U2 is no protection unless the guy cannot slide his finger through the screen. Simply report it to the authorities and call your provider to report the device as lost (and if you have the ESN, give it to them, so that they can block it (black-list it).
Sorry that I cannot give you better solutions to this, but without the tracking software pre-installed... there isn't much you can do
All tracking software has to be installed before you lose the phone.
If the phone is on, the police and your provider probably COULD trace it to find the person. But they are unlikely to spend that much time and effort over a stolen phone.
As the guy above me said, call your provider and get your phone blacklisted. They'll cut off access to your account so he can't rack up a big phone bill.
thanks guys!!

Glad to hear that you got it back.
CrimsonLock seems like a pretty good software. It isn't free, but it looks pretty complete, feature-wise.
Is there anybody that would be able to call T-Mobile to get me the Unlock Code for my Samsung Vibrant, if I give them my IMEI.
I had my phone unlocked and for some reason it randomly locked up again.
I would call T-mobile myself, but I am not with them and I live in Canada.
If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
T-Mobile gives former eligible customers free unlock codes.

Unfotunately I don't think it will work. The phone has to have been registered on the users account, meaning the user must have put their sim in the phone before, or there has to be proof that exact phone with the IMEI was purchased from T-Mobile by the account holder.
But luckily for you, if you were a T-mobile customer in the past, and you did in fact use that Vibrant on their network, they will provide you the unlock code again.
For your reference
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51885.xml
"T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible former customers, provided that T-Mobile has such code or can obtain it from the manufacturer. "
Who knows though, might work, if you are willing to find someone to try it for you.
Yeah i am pretty sure the person who had the phone before wad with t mobile, so it should be fine. I just need someone who is with t mobile to call in for me since i am not with tmobile.
There was an app in the app store that'll give you the unlock code. That's how I unlocked mine. Check the market as it was a free app.

You don't need to even bother with that. Use this thread to fix the unlock. This will make it more permanent. Hopefully. It worked for me on two different devices. Cheers!
Thanks for the responses..
Yeah I unlocked my phone myself a month ago and for some reason It became locked again randomly. Dont know why... I just dont want to go through all that work again, and have it happen again... If I get the Sim Unlock code then it wont be a problem, and I can just put in the # again. When I originally tried to get the number through the SGS Unlocker it just gave me 8 zeros, so that method dident work.
The computer that I am using does not have all the drivers and crap and it is not my computer so I do not want to load everything on it.
If anyone with T-Mobile dosent mind calling for me that would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is you can't use the sim unlock code once you have gone through this process that they would send you. If you went through that process, then the code is whatever you set. If you don't remember what that number is, then you will have to do it all over again.
It is not that i do.not remember. I put in eight zeros in. But some everything was reset and it is locked again. I tried the eight zeros and it sosent work. I think i used a different nethod. I did not use the batch files. I used adb and edited the nv data. I am pretty sure if i were to get the sim unlock from t.mobile it will work. I dident choose 0000000 as a sim code it just told me to enter that in the instructions.

The problem is that number replaced the old msl. So you have no choice.
What do you mean Msl?
Msl = master subsidy lock aka unlock code
So i purchased a sprint s4 off somebody of craigslist. I asked if the imei was clean and they said yes. They seem like an honest person so i didnt bother to check the imei until i was on the way home. Turns out the fing **** was lying and no i am stuck with this phone. So i found this post on how someone with a similar situation got it to work on domestic carriers that are GSM. I tryed it and it was working flawlessly i was very happy. So i took out the sim card i was using to test and put it back in my normal phone LG G2 and the next day when i put the sim in the S4 again it stopped working. I did not change anything and it is just not working. I will link the post i followed hopfully someone could help me out.
