Me newbie, HELLLLP please.
Got xda1, need unlock to use T-mobile sim, used xdaunlock but still locked.
Flashed ROM, now got xda-developers ROM (COOL!) but still being asked
for GID code when I put T-mobile sim in, and now, even worse, I get the same request for GID code, with an O2 sim card in.
Should I re-install the xda-developers ROM, but this time with my T-mobile
sim card in? Or is there something else I should do?
I'm beginning to wish I'd just bought an O2 pay as you go sim in the first place.
Might I need to change the GSM band from 900/1800 to ?
ROM version ......... 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date.............. 15/05/03
Radio version ....... 4.20.00
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
i've a TSM500 (spanish version of XDA2 from movistar carrier). I try to unlock it following the faq but when i run the program i got the following messages:
------------------
Communication port opened
waiting for radio bootloader
reading first block...
reading second block...
the phone seems unlocked already!
-----------------
(see attached)
but the phone is locked, because when i try to use it with another sim card (vodafone for ex.) a popup asking me for the code is shown
some ideas?
thanks in advance
I have exactly the same problem
Orange sim card is requesting code??????????
Please help!
Isn't this the sim code and nothing to do with unlocking fault of your phone? For example the standar 0000 code???
i ve ot a same problem

Jubey, what was that again?
Hi
I had the same problem
here is what i did
go here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963]
down load this xda2unlock.exe
put the downloaded file on you phone and run from there there is no need to go into bootloader mode
and that was it my orange card that was locked was now ok
I am on Rom 1.60.00 wwe which is dated 12/03/03 this might make a difference

UNLOCKING WORKED - Thanks - And I love you all!
The Unblock program for the xda2, posted above really works. I love you guys for making this available to all.
Cant Unlock
Hi
I have a new XDA II - with :
Rom = 1.60.00WWE
Radio = 1.10.00
ExtROM = 1.60.50
I cant :shock: unlock it. If I try the older Bootloader method it says that it is unlocked already. If I try the newer version it says that it succeds but the phone app automatically starts and says the the SIM card is invalid.
Some questions:
Should the Blocked Sim be in the phone at the time?
Should Flight mode be on or off when you start?
Would having a very old Vodaphone Sim card make a difference?
Thanks in advance

This is not what a locked phone does. A locked phone pops up a box for you to enter the unlocking code.

Not sure as I never had a locked phone myself. I will test this.

It should be off the phone should be on.

Yes, I don't think 5 volt cards are supported. Try a SIM that is known to work in the XDA. To make sure you are solving the real problem.
Unlocking XDA II
Thanks for the response.
I have tried a Virgin (T-Mobile) card and it works fine
I have ordered a new Vodaphone SIM - My card dated back to 1998 - It was originally a Credit Card Sized one, with no pop out - so I cut it out!
XDAII is great though - we use Messenger a lot here for contacting clients, I was sitting in the sun today, replying to custards and their problems - if anyone out there hasnt got one and is thinking of it - get it now!!

please upload the file again for me. the link above not working, thank you:angel:
Hi all,
I currently have T-Mobile (US) as my provider, and have just switched to Cingular this weekend. I have the T-Mobile MDA and want to know if it is possible to use my phone on Cingular's network. What do I need to do to unlock the phone and sim successfully to work on Cingular's network? Do I need to put Cingulars ROM on my phone to make it work? I've already tried loading their ROM on the phone, putting in their sim card but it doesn't work, I get an error telling me that the network isn't unlocked and asks me to put in the correct code to unlock the network.
Any thoughts/ideas/help?
Thanks I really appreciate any help!

Search the forums for "Unlock Wizard". You should come up with many hits, mostly around a program called lockowiz. It will SIM and CID unlock your phone.
Hello Guys,
This question may be a little noob for everyone here but I really need to understand couple(or 3) of things here:
1. What basically is a SIM lock? is it software lock or some kind of hardware(registers) lock ?
2. If I get a new (brand new) phone from Rogers canada .. say HTC S621 and I flash it with one of the custom ROMs like NRG's or Kavanas... will it also remove my SIM lock...?
Actually the reason I am asking these questions is ....
I already have a HTC S621 which I SIM unlocked from some site for 30 some dollars about a year back. I was with Rogers rom at that time.
Now I upgraded to NRG remade rom .. so is my phone still SIM unlocked.... ?
if somebody could answer these questions.. I would really appreciate...
If you paid $30 for it, it is most likely a Sim unlock, which allows you to use others sim cards. CID unlock is a free app that is floating around here somewhere, and it is just a software unlock that allows you to put others Roms on your phone. For example, mine is a tmobile dash that is still sim locked to tmobile, but I have ahd Rogers, HTC, and multiple kitchen roms on it without any problems. Sim unlock would allow me to use an AT&T or other type of carriers sim card in it as well, but I dont need that.
Your phone will still be Sim unlocked if it has been unlocked in the past.
Does this answer your questions?
My Mistake
Hey god speed...
pardon my mistake .. i just made a fool out of myself....
Please replace CID with sim lock... I wrote the question keeping in mind Sim lock but I dont know y on the earth I kept on writing CID...
Sorry for wrong question... I will edit that...
My basic question is
1. Does flashing a ROM on a SIM Locked phone breaks the SIM LOCK? and
2. If My phone is with Rogers , I got it Sim Unlocked by paying 30 bucks.. and then reflashed to NRG Rom.. is it still locked or unlocked..
Thanks again....
flashing a new rom does not break the sim lock (or unlock in your case). Your good to go
Thanks go speed.....
I appreciate
no problem, just trying to give back where I can. Enjoy 6.1, its a whole new world!
Hi there.
I have a problem with sim unlocking my phone. T-Mobile already gave me my unlock code.
I entered it once, and it told me wrong code. I don't know if I typed the wrong code or if they sent me one. I swear i only did it once.
Anyway, my problem right now is that when I insert a new sim card, it does not prompt me for an unlock code.
My sim card is unaccessible plus I don't have any signal.
I already have done a hard reset twice, and still not prompt.
Can anyone help me how to make the phone prompt for the sim unlock code?
did u buy it off someone?
Nope. My service provider, T-Mobile gave it to me.
I also have flashed to the phone to the latest ROM here. Still no go...

You need to flash to a 6.0 or 6.1 rom so you can get the sim unlock message. If you flashed a 6.5 rom this will not happen.
This is something that is on the sticky. On that note, thread closed.
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my Xperia Arc that I cannot find the answer on the forums.
My ARC is originally from MOVISTAR Spain and, after unlocking has been working great with VODAFONE Portugal.
Now I´m changing to TMN and that´s where the problems started. I´ve keept the same number (91) and therefore I went trough a "Portability" process to TMN. Last Friday the process was completed and my VODAFONE SIM card was disconnected.
TMN delivered me a SIM card to exchange. As soon as I did it the phone recognizes the SIM card, I put the PIN number and apparently all is OK.
But, there´s no network signal, and I cant make or receive phone calls or SMS. Everytime I try to call it says "Out of service area". This SIM card works normaly on my wifes LG Optimus Black.
My phone works at 100% with VODAFONE SIM cards and doesn´t work with TMN SIM cards. Despite it´s unlocked I´ve unlocked again the bootloader via Wontanserver. No sucess!
Strange thing though... I have 3G internet signal and I can navigate the web. Cant make phone calls or send SMS!!! Please Help!!!
Thanks in advance guys for any contribute.

When you say you unlocked it do you mean unlocked the bootloader or you also sim unlocked?

Try the simcard in a other phone

Already did! The TMN SIM card works on another phone, not in mine!
On my phone works VODAFONE SIM cards (tried various) and the TMN SIM only works for 3G internet connection, not phone calls or SMS...
HELP
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've read somewhere that this was fixed in another case by putting an unlock code.
Do you know if this can solve my problem? If so, where/how can I get this "unlock code"?
Thanks again.
wontanserver server removes both sim and bootloadel lock, there`s no question there. now, since you have an unlocked bootloader, why don`t you try and flash kernel again ? or try and flash the stock rom, maybe you have some MOVISTAR crap and somehow block your calls, though i doubt that ...

Thanks for your reply. I've already reinstaled the ICS latest update trough PC companion, which "cleaned" my data. And... no luck there.
Does this process equals flashing kernel or stock rom? If so, I can always flash a diferent rom or kernel, do you recomend that?
Thanks for your help m8. I'm really in a jam...
except from vodafone sim cards, is there another sim that work ? are you positive you`ve made the right steps when you unlocked you`re bootloader ? try other sim, except form vodafone or TMN, make sure you don`t have some kind of network lock.

Yes, all sim cards work great with TMN sim cards as exceptions. I've tried old and new TMN sim cards. No luck! 3G signal for internet but no service for calls or SMS.
I´ve ordered a CHECKMEND report to see if my IMEI could be blocked/blacklisted by TMN and it came out with 0 problems!
Have tried ti change baseband, kernel and ROM, unlocked via WONTAN and... nothing! Now I'm back to stock ICS and stuck with the same issue... :crying:
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Do you resolve this issue? Mine is happening excatly the same thing. Nothing seems to work @Gsantoz
