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
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!!

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.

Ditto
My O2 XDA Exec also is unlocked from the factory, tested with Orange & Vodafone SIM Cards successfully
Dear All,
I have SPV M5000 from Orange. Now I'm living in Bulgaria, but my deveice is locked to Orange.
Please help me, how to unlock this model?
Best Regards,
I. Tchernev
i'm also interested
So far, there is no way of unlocking it, other than paying £50 ($88 ) and sending it to IMEI Check
I believe that some people are currently working on an unlocker here, but so far, it would seem they have been unsucessful.
I ask orange for my m5000 unlock code, they have post the code to me after 1 week, the cost is £20 charge to my company phone bill.
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.
Can someone tell my if it's posible to unlock the Qtek 9000. my e-mail is [email protected] . Bicouse im going crazy over here, trying to find a simlock software.

Are you sure it is a QTEK 9000? They arent supposed to be locked to any operator?
What's going on here?

I have a Qtek 9000 locked to Vodafone UK and I would appreciate all help I can get to unlock it.. Here is some data of my phone.
ROM version: 1.13.62 WWE
ROM date: 09/29/05
Radio version: 1.04.10
Protocol version: 43.37P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.189 WWE
If it is locked to Vodafone, then it should be the V1640 not a Qtek 9000.
Have you tried asking VodafoneUK for the Network Unlock Code (NUC) ?

It is a Qteq 9000 I have all papaers and the original box. And I have tried to get an unlock code but all they say when I sent my IMEI number was that I have to wait for 12 Months to get the unlock code.
Since I bought the phone on Ebay I have problems to get any help. Even though the advertisement said it was Unlocked and when I got it I tried with my phonecard that is Telenor (Norway) then it just want me to type in the simlock code.
I never thought VOdafone would be selling QTEK 9000's
At any rate you have to wait 12 months starting from when? As you bought the phone from Ebay and not directly from Vodafone, how does vodafone know when the 12 month ends?
Also, i heard that it is 12 months if you wanna get the code for free. Can you pay a certain amount to get it now?

I have to apologize to you.. I just got the box and it says vodafone 1640 :shock: Have I been swindled since the add said it was a Qtek 9000 and it looks the same?
Yes, you probably have been "swindled". The QTEK 9000 is never locked as it didn't come from a phone operator. So is the Imate Jasjar never locked.
You essentially go a Universal thru Vodafone which is definitely locked by Vodafone.
I believe the V1640 is supposed to be silver, right? The QTEK is all black like the O2 except the keyboard light is red as in the O2 it is blue. The jasjar is 2 tone, black and grey

Yes it is silvere colored, but is it possible to unlock it with some software?
When I put in the Vodafone card that came with the phone all windows program and my navigator works fine, but I want to use my own phone card.
if you put NO sim card, it will work except the phone part.
Now aside from paying for the NUC by asking it from Vodafone, or waitig the 12 months, there are some people you are offering these services BUT, yes, BUT you have to physically send them the phone.
There are people here who are working on a unlock tool for the universal but that may be ready in about 3 months or could take until end of the year.

So you say that if I take contact with Vodafone UK and give them some money, they will send me a code to unlock my phone?
I have been in contact with Vodafone Sweden and they told me that I had to wait for 12 Months, I gave them my IMEI number and the only answer I got was that in 12 Months they could me with a code.
Let me explain a little.
I bought my QTEK 9000 for €900 because it is not locked.
Now VODAFONE locks their device and sells it a lot cheaper (less than 600€) because you can only use the phone on their network so your phone use subsidizes the cost of the phone.
After 1 year, you can ask for the unlock code FREE OF CHARGE.
Now to get the unlock code before the 12 months, you have to PAY because vofafone will not be able to subsidize the discounted price.
Normally just ask them how much to get the unlock code now. I believe it can run from somewhere between 40€ to sometimes even more than 100€ but i am sure you will still be ahead of what i paid for, right?

Well I just paid 365 GBP for my phone.. So it's not that bad if I have to pay some fee to Vodafone. I will take contact with them in the morning.
Thanks for all help.
No problem, happy to help....
