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.

My O2 XDA Exec also is unlocked from the factory, tested with Orange & Vodafone SIM Cards successfully

Can anyone tell me how i can unlock a UK Xda IIs please?
I got mine unlocked by O2 directly. i bought mine sim free in Ireland from o2 ireland and asked for an unlocking code. 2 weeks later, about 17 different phone calls and a visit to the shop to get them to prove to o2 that it was actually my phone, and i got an unlocking code. There are other ways of doing it too, but they cost money....
Go Here, its a good choice...
There is now a free unlock tool! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=135772

Unlock the XDA EXEC
Hello!
The ONLY way now to unlock this phone is the imei-check.com, BUT there is a bloody hell 50GBP fee (+ postage) AND you have to send your phone to them. I would say: ONLY if you are virtually on your knees to get a solution. I really hope someone will post a link to a tool which will be able to do that. This site is great, they will come out with it soon. Am I right guys? :lol:
May I ask you a question too? I just ordered my XDA EXEC, but thought it is definately unlocked. I have seen many posts in this forum, where all the owners declared their EXEC unlocked, but since your post, I am a bit nervous about mine. Where and when did you buy your handset? Has anyone any idea about which ones are locked by the O2?

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 plan to buy a orbit
but i need to work it on mmy t-omob account
isi t already unlcoked
if not what do i need to do so??

I bought an orbit on Tuesday, and I'm using my Orange Sim in it until my number gets ported, so my handset is unlocked.
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
I have an orbit from an o2 shop. I also have my Orange sim in it untill my number gets ported. Therefore - I'd say they're unlocked!
My experience is that all O2 phones have been network-unlocked. Certainly the last 6 I have had were.

I would like to differ.. The XDA2i I had was locked to O2. I bought a XDA Exec in July. That is unlocked out of the box.. Seeing the discussion on the thread, it seems that O2 have adapted a strategy of leaving their phones unlocked for some reason..
Mine was open on all networks as I am using my T-mobile sim in it!
Playing around with a spare Virgin Mobile simcard with O2 sourced phones:
Orbit unlocked
XDA2i locked
Exec unlocked
Mini S unlocked
iPaq 6915 unlocked
Nokia 6280 unlocked
Motorola Razr unlocked
Well I've put a Virgin SIM in mine straight out of the box from O2 and it works so it's definitely unlocked. The only problem is that it says T-Mobile on the screen for network - odd!
^^They all do that sir
IME unless the phone is Virgin branded it will display T-Mobile (who Virgin lease their virtual network from).
