Unlocking non-htc phone, the SE W880i

Hi there,
A good friend of mine will be celebrating her birthday in a week's time, so a few friends and I bought a SE W880i as a birthday gift for her. It's locked to the Orange network in the UK so I was wondering if anyone here knows how to unlock it (preferably free ones). I did a google search and I cant seem to understand what they're saying. Maybe cause Im used to my Hermes, and a SE suddenly seemed very odd to me. Also, I have read somewhere that this phone cant be unlocked from home; I'll need a special cable. Is it true?
Please help! I know I shouldnt be posting this here as it has nth to do with xda phones, but Im really running out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.

try that ^_^
Hey there. Thanks for your reply. Really appreciated that.
Anyway, found the link earlier on thru google before i post this thread. However, I didnt understand a thing they said. Im quite ok when it comes to Hermes, but with SE, im a total n00b! lol
-What are DB2020 models?
-CID49/51/52?
-DCU-60 cable?
-xs++?
So it is true that I will need an extra cable to unlock it myself? Aww deng. That means I'll have to buy it. Then might as well as pay for it to be unlocked since I'll have to spend anyway.
But, out of curiosity, how did those guys on ebay sell unlocking services for SE phones if it needs to be done with the DCU-60 cable? I think I've heard of some unlocking code or something.
Thanks!
For SE DB2020 DON'T NEED SPECIAL CABLE FOR UNLOCK (only need if you want to flash EROM, EEPROM e.g spanish village for you). The gsmhosting link is too good for you. Use this http://rs300.rapidshare.com/files/85926001/DB2020.rar
Thanks! I'll give it a go later in the day!

Total loss of signal Ignito

Hi guys
I've had an o2 Ignito for the last year and its given me no trouble whatsoever.
I've tried various roms for it, all with no problems.
All of a sudden, I'm getting no signal at all. o2 confirm the phone has not been blacklisted or anything and my sim card works ok in other phones.
Any ideas?
o2 have said send it back and we'll repair it... I've got a cooked rom on there of course.
I've got a o2 stock rom called: Xda Ignit2_UK_2.10.206.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe Would that be enough to get past they're security checks? Do I need to remove HardSPL 1st? I've searched the site and I can't get my head round doing it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help
I'm using: [WWE] Windows Revolution Manila 2.1 Edition 1.1A (23017)

Reverting to stock SPL is always the last step.....be sure tot restore stock ROM and radio first.
good luck!
Great stuff mate, thanks for that link. Don't know how I missed that.
It may be, that sticking a new rom on there might fix it. I'll let you know
glad i could help out, this one is even more clear:

The stockROM you mention has a radio in it (it's the last part of the description) so when you put this on it you're good to go.
He..everybody in here is/was a noob at some point, so no worries
Worked a treat, o2 were arses getting the phone back to me, but they did
In the end it was the main board that went so that's been replaced. So new EMEI number :|
Is there an easy/cheap/FREE way of unlocking it? I'm thinking of selling it because I've lost the heart with it somewhat.
Thanks again for the invaluable help, gotta love these forums
your most welcome, but can't help you out with the unlock thingy....never had a locked phone
O2 uk dont lock their phones! i have an ignito! they are not sim locked

Sell it, or get an upgrade.. Or just unlock it again. All three are just about as easy as each other. I stumbled upon a complete noob guide to flashing the other day. I think once you have a custom SPL on there you're good to do pretty much anything.

calm down mate....
I just checked on the htc website (www.htc.com) and at the bottom of the page there is a contact section where you can get contact details for all htc locations (or use an email option). Not so hard.
