Who know what is the cheapest way to unlock a mda pro?
This topic has been mentioned many times before, a forum search would probably have given you the answer
Unlock code from T-Mobile ~£15>
Send to IMEI Check - £50
Wait for the Devs to get an unlocker here - Free
ok, but how can I get the code from t-mobile for 15 Ł?
try searching the forum, i have said it once.....
Call them.
somebody alse?
Why don't you contact T-Mobile directly ? You can mail them or call them. You haven't got any other alternative.
Ah Yes there is another one as heliosfa said : Wait for the Devs to get an unlocker here - Free
why do people not read replies when it is something that they do not like?
Currently, apart from methods mentioned above, there is no way to unlock the universal[/u]
more unlock info
i was wondering, if anyone here has gotten the unlock code from T-mobile, does it take exactly 28 days or is it usually a week or something?
I just took my device to a local shop here in tampa, the guys said he will call me back in like 2-3 hours with the unlock code, i pay him $90 dollars when i get the code and if it works.
He said some really interesting stuff about a guy in Ukraine who unlocks the phones.
Can anyone here also explain how the unlock process works? and if anyone is working on the unlock, what is the current stage it is on, i really don't want to pay the $90, so if i can wait a week, i will, i really need a phone. Thanks to all.

Is it possible to do so? I want to use it on Cingular. If not then what do you guys suggest for unlocking? I am thinking gsm liberty is good unless you guys know any place that is cheaper.
-Thanks
I'm 99% sure that you can unlock it and use it on Cingular.
Yea, that i know. My question is is there a free way to unlock it like the hermes series or do i have to shell out $38?

I bought my unlock code on eBay for 28$ from dtdtwireless and it worked fine if you want to check him out.
if the phone is a tmobile phone, they'll unlock it for u for free.
Alright so they are all pretty standard on prices. 30-40 dollars. Ont the t-mobile thing, what would they ask if I called in? Keep in mind i dont have a t-mobile service. Or I can get a friend to do it but I want to train him on what to say first. You have any experience on calling them and asking for a unlock code?
ya i called in myself and did it, you gotta give them the imei number, and then they send it out, and then u'll recieve an unlock code within a few weeks ( i actually called in after like 2 weeks and they gave it to me over the phone, and then i recieved the email like 10 days later)
however i am a tmobile customer, but i'm pretty sure that you can give the phone to any tmobile customer and they can do it for u, as long as the phone is a tmobile phone. good luck
so you can 30-40$ and get it unlocked right away or wait like 2 weeks and do it for free

I haven't bothered with the stuff on www.imei-check.com. I'm with T-Mobile USA, so I just called the customer care line and simply asked for my SIM unlock code. They gave it up for FREE. I don't know how BT works, but you could attempt to speak with one of their customer service reps.

Basically, it makes it possible for you to use other GSM carriers with your Dash. For instance, you can use an AT&T SIM card in your Dash and have their service should you choose to leave T-Mobile.
It benefits you if you decided to leave T-Mo for some reason or if you decided to go overseas and didn't want to be charged outlandish prices for coverage.
EDIT: To actually enter the code, you'll need to change your SIM card out for another from a different carrier. Once you do this, your phone will prompt you to enter the code.

hi mate, i have the bt s620 also, and have just unlocked 2 of mine with no probs, admittedly i paid for the unlock i think it was about 9 quid.
and worked both times perfectly.
its an ebay seller.
i dont want to break any rules by posting the link but if you want to PM me i will gladly give you his details, i got both unlock links from him within a couple of hours too.
u can try t-mobile.. and tell them..
ok deleted link cause i paid for it and it was a report on how to do it promptly got my money back after threatening to come round lol
All I can say, Try it out for yourself and post the result. If it works out, I hope it does then leave some feedback for others. Oh by the way, that's pretty darn cheap so give it a shot, you don't got too much to lose
Just to know....
Here in Brazil we can't receive unlock code, from our carries, unless we stay in that carrier for at least 1yr (18 months in some cases) or pays somethink like 2 times the real cost of the phone (and receive a pre-paid sim card). Even if you stays in it for this time, carries try to charge for this code (US$ 150 in some carries).
That's because we, here in Brasil, search for free sim unlock!
Then I ask: no way for free unlock, right ?
Thanks and sorry for my english...
occurs in Peru as in brazil, you have q 2 years minimum contract, to complete the same not unlock the phone you have to keep using the same carrier. why we need to unlock the phone, thanks
If you want to use a differen't carrier's SIM, the phone needs to be unlocked. AT&T does it for free if you're subscribed to their services, T-Mobile you have to be a member for 6 months. How to unlock, ask your carrier when you get the unlock code. With most it's simple, you insert a differen't carrier's sim card, hit "Unlock" when it shows invalid sim, and enter the code. Simple as that.
help
I went to the unlock site, paid my money, got the files, loaded everything, and now the phone just says searching. Nothing else. If I put the original Vodafone sim in, it works, but with 02 it just says searching.
Any ideas,
Vic

For you and all people here knows: In Brazil (and in Peru, as ****man said) we don't have AT&T!!!!!!
And our carries don't give us the unlock code, unless we pay much for that. Even if we stayed with 1 or 2 year contract!!!!!!!
And that's why we need a free unlock method!!!!!!!
So don't say to us to get unlock code from our carries, they don't give it to us.
The I ask again: somewere, somehow, exists any free unlock method ?

You seem a little upset. I've been looking for a free method and I haven't found one. You can either try to pay 40 bux or stick with whatcha got. What can you do about it?
Hi everyone,
I'll have to admit, the way people seem to keep coming up with tweaks and way-outs, you guys are definitely a bunch of geniuses! I am new to this forum, and after going through a few posts, have been inspired enough to go for a Tmo upgrade to the HTC touch Pro2, but I am not sure if I would like to keep using Tmo service, hence asking you all here if you guys know a way how to unlock this phone to be used with other service providers?
Thanks!
Wouldn't flashing a new ROM able to get rid of the lock? Is that possible?
No don't think anyone has figured out how to SIM unlock yet. Atleast if they have I haven't seen a tool be released for it yet. In due time I'm sure there will be though.
usually tmo customer service will give you one unlock code every 90 days, even on just-released phones. but this time, they simply said they don't have it for the tp2. called twice, no go, rude cs rep on top of that. don't know if they flagged me for some reason, or if they are just not giving it out. everybody, call 611 and ask for it, see if anyone succeeds.
Thanks atlaswing,
will try my luck with the Tmo CS, but this can only be for the interim for ~90 days as you said, until one of the gurus here finds out the ultimate divine path to a sweet SIM unlocked TP2 on Tmo!
doing a google search for unlock code tmobile touch pro 2
shows a good number of hits for companies claiming to be able
to unlock it..of course for a fee...
I just spoke with TMo about a sim unlock for my pro2. They said I would received the unlock code and instructions within 7 days...
requested today, advise i will get it via email in 48 hours.
Unfortunately, T-mobile told me I had to be a customer for at least 90 days before I could get the unlock codes from them
I got the phone with a new activation. I was even previously a t-mobile customer many years ago.
search on ebay. it's under 13.00 and I got the code in about 1/2 hour. Works like a charm even on my Telus Pro2
Touch Pro2 Unlock
I have contacted T Mobile for Unlock Code. They replied saying request is placed with manufacturer and I need to wait for 7 days.

Today got mail from T Mobile with UNLOCK CODE. Before spending any $ for unlocking I suggest to give a try contacting T Mobile.
Hi all,
I've got a brand new T-Mobile desire (picked up a few days ago), but i'm having problems getting it unlocked I've tried mobileunlocked.co.uk (with their supernew search) as well as htcsimunlock, but neither could find the code (but have refunded).
Is there any other option? Or is the phone just too new to have the code on a DB yet?
Thanks
Why not ask t-mobile for an unlock, they charge 15£ and can definately get you can unlock code ? though it might take a bit longer
Unfortunately i'm not with t-mobile, I bought the phone off someone who got it on an upgrade
Email me the IMEI no, let me check it for you.
Thanks ferrari, but I've already tried (and got refunded ) HTCCode.com, they couldnt find it
they are suppose to update the code database in the next 2 weeks....
mind if i ask you what is the first 8 digits of your imeI?
Mh, they are really SIMlocked? Can't imagine that...
The unlock codes for HTC Desire locked to T-mobile is available in the database now. You can get the codes from Prounlocking which takes minimum 5 hours to be delivered.
Jesus christ guys, why pay when you can just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726
I got ahold of a used t-mobile z2 force. Considering I'm still using a 2012 phone, this will be quite an upgrade for me. I tried the t-mobile app to carrier unlock but no luck. From reading here, it seems there are two options.
#1 - Get new a prepaid sim, activiate, then add $100 credit, wait a few days, then try the app again, eventually it will work.
#2 - Get/Borrow a used sim (doesn't matter if prepaid), put it in the phone, wait a few days, then try the app again, eventually it will work.
Am I right?
If so, any suggestions where to find a used sim? I tried ebay and they're all new and unactivated. Or maybe someone here did option 1 and doesn't need their sim anymore, PM me.
I looked into option #1 myself but at $3/month for voice/text only, it's not real useful to me as I use hangouts/voice for voice & text, all I really need is data. And with the prepaid unlimited I'd use up my $100 in two months, kinda a waste imo.
What error message did you receive? There are two kinds; the device is not eligible for an unlock or the device is unknown.
Unlock Failed: This mobile device is not eligible for unlock. For device Unlock eligibility details, please go online or contact Customer Care.
That error means the device is recognized by the server and can be unlocked when it is eligible. Since you’re not the original owner you won’t have any way of knowing when it will be eligible. The phone could still be on a payment plan or the original buyer could have defaulted.
If you need it unlocked quickly your best bet maybe finding a third party unlock service that can flag your IMEI as unlock eligible with the unlock server.
I'm more concerned about cheaply than quickly.
My understanding tho is that it is not under any contract. But even so my understanding is that the app won't unlock unless there's a SIM card in there too from an existing customer... but this is just based on searches, I'm still unsure.
I believe the phone has to be used for at least 45 days on a T-Mobile account to be considered for unlock.
If I had family or friend on t-mobile I'd ask them to use this phone a while. But I don't unfortunately, that would be the easiest.
I had my unactivated new in box T-Mobile z2 force that i got from a trade unlocked in a week after getting prepaid and putting 100 on it. That was the fastest and easiest way not knowing ppl who use tmo. Just wait a few days then call tech support and get them to escalate the unlock...say it's work related...after that restart and it will be unlocked.
I want cheapest, not fastest or easiest. $100 for unlock sounds crazy. Don't suppose you still have that sim card?
I don't know if my Sim would even help. I think with prepaid they go by imei so you might even have to add that $ to it. I think the Sim is just the door bell button.
oh... yeah I better figure that out. If they require prepaid sim to have added $100 since first used on that particular imei, then a used sim doesn't help.
So seems like 3 options.
1 - fork out the $100 to t-mobile,
2 - borrow a non prepaid t-mobile sim (loan my phone to someone) for possibly up to 45 days before able to unlock
3 - find and pay an unlock service
I wonder what these unlock services do that I can't.
Anyone have the link to the apk?

They have a contact with someone at T-Mobile that can flag your IMEI as unlock eligible with the unlock server.

The app is preinstalled on supported phones only. If your phone does not have the app then it uses a different method to Sim unlock.
I tried 3 different eBay seller and none could provide me with a code.
Well I just paid $60 to try cellunlocker.net; hopefully it works. An advertisement posted 5 days ago says it will...

still waiting... their eta aint so great as I passed the 1-5 business days. But I'm still hopeful cuz their online chat told me should be by next tuesday, although they didn't answer support email and I was on phone hold 10 mins beofre hanging up (since online chat replied while I was waiting on hold).

Have you heard anything in the meantime? I got an email (after I posted here last) saying it was ready, but it still won't unlock. Called them and the guy said sorry they'll re-do it, something about the wrong server. So back to waiting... losing confidence but still hopeful...
If it isn't too much trouble, keep me updated (in this thread) as to what happens for you, or if you end up asking for refund, etc....
Codes don't work on T-Mobile phones once the unlock app is on the device. Hopefully there isn't a balance on the device which would prevent it from being unlocked. For all the phones I use the app for, cuz I have T-Mobile and have gone through a quite a few devices, once it's paid off usually the app automatically works long as it was active service for 40 days prior.
Before the app I knew you could have someone with T-Mobile use this phone for a few days until it registers on the network and then you can request an unlock code and have it escalated.
I really want to lose patience
