I mailed to T-mobile for unlock my MDA PRO the mailed me a link to visit:
http://www.t-mobile.de/simlock/1,9645,13846-_,00.html
What do you think? :?:
Any chance of you translating it to english?
Nothing to see here
It says essentially: Insert a foreign SIM-card, enter the 8-digit unlock code (which you have to buy from us), soft-reset, and you're ready. However, you get the lock only after 24 months if you got the phone together with a T-Mobile contract.
I phoned T-Mobile today (In the UK) and was told that once I've had the phone 1 month, if I call them, for a small fee (£15) they will issue me the unlock code!
same for me as well. T-Mobile uk will unlock the phone after one month. Although funnily enough they unlocked my MDA III straight away.
I did ask why u had to wait a month, and they said it was just company policy :roll:
i received the code but its a 10 digit code can any one help t-mobile sent me to contract htc and htc said go to t-mobile
unlock?
Anyone found a way to unlock the mda pro already? all i hear is that people are working on it LOL
imei-check.com is also working on it.. but 2 weeks later still no sound.

MDA Pro unlocking
Hi everybody! I received my MDA Pro from Germany today, and it's sim-locked to th German T-mobile. I thought it would work with my local T-mob card, but it doesn't! :evil:
So I need to unlock it somehow. T-mob Ger does it for 100 EUR, which is a bit hefty, but seemded like the only choice so far. I asked the guy I bough the device from to send me the purchase receipt.
Since I'll probably soon void my warranty anyway (i.e. do the rom upgrade), I would prefer any less expensive method. Also, I don't really speak German, so getting the unlcok code from the German T-mob by phone would be a challenge anyway.
Now I read here that T-mob UK is more friendly i terms of unlocking. Do you think they would do my device, or they only do local machines? Do they check the IMEI?
Any help would be appreciated on this. Thanks!
ewhh
i did try the UK tmobile office. But you HAVE to have a tmobile contract in the UK.
So i found a mate in london who had that, he called and tmobile uk said it would take 28 days, also i am sure after they take off the 15 pounds it costs they will say sorry the imei is not from a phone you bought yourself with your tmobile contract.
Holland wont do it because they check imei too.. if it is not a dutch imei code they wont do it.
I am waiting desperately for a solution and would even pay 50 pounds if someone would unlock my tmobile mda pro.
I just hope imei-check comes with a solution before xmass LOL

The thing is, I didn't buy it in a shop, but from a guy in Germany. When he sends me the receipt (as he had promised to), I will find out how it was purchased. Chances are, of course, that it was a prolongation of a contract or something like that... :roll:
If not, I will certainly try to manage the unlocking with T-mob Ger, but without speaking German, this might be difficult.
@dvl:
Thanks for the info, looks like Britain is a dead end too. Rats. Now my only hope is imei-check. I unlocked an MDA III for a guy there once. It was quite simple and quick even with all the id verification business. I guess I wouldn't have to go through with that again. :lol:
Everyone pls keep us posted on possible unlocking methods!

I don't speak german either -... you have to try until you get an english speaker operator (I got it on second attempt). I hope that yours was bought without a contract.
Good luck.
imei-check does it
Update: I saw today that imei-check now offers unlocking for the Universal. However, it's only available as a mail-in sevice, and it's bloody expensive: 50 GBP in the UK, a lot more anywhere else (due to shipping). All this, plus you have to get it to them too... :roll:
This is not really any help for ppl outside the UK, and I read here that you can get an unlocking code there for 15 GBP from the provider, so this is not such great news.
Still, I wanted to let you know. :idea:
I will stick to the 99 EUR official unlocking from T-mob, especially since the guy who sold me the device offered to pay half of it and to get the code from T-mob. Yay!
How to get the unlock code from T-mobile Germany
Any BUSINESS Customer with a GSM Contract of T-Mobile Germany gets the unlock code for any MDA PRO within a couple of hour via e-mail for free.
If you can find a helpful guy who is (in this forum?!?!), he may help you out by asking T-Mobile Germany for the unlock code with your IMEI number.
Good luck

I don't know any business customers at the German T-mob, so I got my code - yesterday - through the guy who originally bought the device (with a contract). He also paid half the unlocking cost!

Hi,
just a questions....after the unlocking via the unlock code from the provider, if the phone will be upgraded or unbranded (for example I would like to leave out the T-Mobile customization and change the phone software with the usual I-Mate JASJAR) maybe can it have some problems with the unlocking code?
I hope that it will not be modified
Thanks for any replies.

Because you pay 50% for unlock MDA PRO ?
You can make for all?
Gianluca
Who has MDA-Pro can apparently ask T-mobile to unlock the phone for free / for 25 Pounds.
I-mate - unlock Jasjars.
as for Orange no idea yet.
And O2 - Can't / Wont / Dont wanna.
any one knows who can unlock execs? even a shop that actullay takes money!!
search
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31595
and try searching in the forum for the device it's called universal and it's upgrading it forum had many posts about the subject
Hi,
I am not sure how useful this will be to you, but my XDA Exec was already unlocked when I bought it (Direct from O2).
Mine was purchased in the UK, I don't know if it will be the same for those bought elsewhere?
Are you sure that yours is actually locked to O2? It might be the case that it is not locked at all. Have you tried inserting a sim from another network to see what happens?
Best of Luck.
P
Ditto
My O2 XDA Exec also is unlocked from the factory, tested with Orange & Vodafone SIM Cards successfully
I got this from ebay that is advertised to unlock XDA EXEC and M5000. However I have not got the device to test it. Any want to try it, then here it is:
Please, give me some feedbacks, if you was sucessful, thanks.
Have a look here... It doesn't look very promising! If you bought it off ebay, get a refund from the scumbag who sold it to you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40585&highlight=
I bought this software from a different guy. The reason that I buy it, because I have read his buyer feedbacks and some feedbacks did say it works. Anyway, it's only 99p, why not have a try.
Why do you need a software to SIM unlock the XDA Exec? I've got two of them and none is SIM locked. I use one with an O2 SIM and another one with a Vodafone SIM.
Why do you buy it if you don't have the device?
Unlock Software Ebay
Hi,
I bought the same software and I can safely say it doesn't work on the SPV M5000. The people who have bought the software and have left Positive feedback are those with the XDA EXEC. Little do they know that O2 phone are already unlocked (Money Wasted!).
The software is off the WIKI website and is free, the lad on ebay is just out to make a quick buck.
At the moment the only way to Unlock the SPV M5000 is to ring orange and ask them to unlock it at a cost of £20. But it takes about 2 weeks to get the code. Got mine today and now it's unlocked running a ghost dual sim with Orange and O2 sim cards.
Enjoy all!

I am interesting to buy an O2 Exec from Ebay UK.Some of the devices are listed with O2 simlock and some others are listed as unlocked.I'm located in athens,Greece so the phone will be working under greek mobile carriers.I would like to know if i will buy a phone with O2 simlock if i will be able to unlock it(easy and free) and use my greek carrier's sim.
Sorry for my poor english
Kind regards from Athens
I can't fully answer your question, but I received my XDA Exec last Friday from O2 and it came already unlocked (I'm using an Orange SIM in it).
Can anyone else confirm theirs came unlocked?
I believe O2 charge around £20 to unlock their devices.
But will i be able to unlock the phone from Greece?
Sorry, I don't know, you'd have to ask O2.
But what I was trying to say is I don't think ANY XDA Exec comes locked and was hoping a few more people might be able to confirm.
That's what i also knew but then i saw this in ebay and now im confused. I need to be 100% sure that the phone must be unlocked or easily(and free if possible) unlocked.
Thanks for answering anyway.
I haven't heard of an XDA Exec that is locked yet to be honest. Also, i'd be a bit wary of buying off E-Bay. If the seller decides to change carriers you could theoretically be left with a dead phone if the contract isn't paid up.
The offers on there are tempting but I phoned 02 to get mine and they've given me 800 free minutes a month on a 12 month contract. I realise in Greece this is of no use to you but I mentioned it just in case and UK residents are looking at them.
Hi.
I got HTC 10 from my friend from Ireland. She bought in 3(three) store. But I have bill pay in different carrier. How I can get unlock code or how to remove simlock?
Please help
I'd also like to know about this
I'd also like to know about this
Three Ireland are a pain in the ass to unlock from officially as they insist if the phone was bought on PAYG that the accountee tops up by €140 after they have bought the phone before they unlock ...
They will not unlock for anyone other than the accountee ..
So you will have to use an eBay seller who will circumvent it but it will cost you around €20-25 euro.
Just search for HTC 3 Ireland unlock in eBay.
