a friend of mine found an i-mate sp3i. he tried to put his seem card in (tmobile) but it appears to be unlocked. i heard this phone hasnt been picked up by a provider here in the states. is it possible to unlock this phone????
Hello there ,
i have a question and if somebody can help me i would really be thankfull.
I want to buy tytn or any version of it on ebay and most of them are locked without a sim card.
My question is can i unlock this phone without the orange or o2 simcard if it locked to that provider.
Thank you
*omg* nobody answered well i guess i will find one unlocked then
Hi everyone,
i am new to Hermes site, i used to have wizard and knew how to unlock or flush any rom to that phone.
Tomorrow i am getting cingular 8525 which i am planning to use in T-mobile here in US. the phone I am getting is going to be refurbished phone. At&T is replacing the phone purchased back in February of this year.
I know I have to unlock it before I use it with t-mobile. I have read two ways of unlocking it one way is using HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.zip file but at the same time I read about this way "SIM-Unlock SoftBank X01ht post April (white versions) with radio 1.14.01.10".
since the phone will be refurbished phone, should I treat it as new out of bax when unlocking it? which way should I chose to unlock?
I only have T-mobile sim card, do you think i will need at&t sim card to unlock this phone?
after the unlock I am planning to upgrade it to wm6 and I saw many good roms here: Official HTC rom, Black Magic, Black Satin...which one of these would you guys recommend me to use?
Thank you in advance.

so many views no reply?
can any one give suggestions?
Use the HTC Hermes SIM_CID_Unlock v3a. Worked like a charm for me. It will CID and SIM unlock so you can install whatever rom and use whatever carrier you wanted. You don't need an ATT sim to unlock it either...just follow the step by step instructions that come with the unlocker.
I used the Hacked Radio Version way to unlock mine
worked exactly as it said
and then i SuperCID mine...or you could just use OliPRO
Hello,
Is there any software around to SIM and CID unlock this amazing phone?
thanks,
Joao Oliveira!!
Hi Joao
I'm expecting my i780 to arrive end of this week and am also looking for a SIM unlock- unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is one around - even finding a website where you pay to unlock is difficult!
However, someone on Modaco unlocked his Orange i780 using a pay website:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/264705/I780-Locked-GPS/page/40/
Alternatively, perhaps flashing the ROM will work? Must admit that I'm not going to try this method yet as posted on the thread....
How much is your network charging for the unlock?

Hello,
Thank for you response.
Any news on unlocking this device? have you tried flashing a new rom? did it work? to be honest i am very scared of flashing a new rom on a locked device, i dont want to brick it.
My network charges me 130euros for unlocking the device. Not too much since i paid very little for it but still ...
Thanks.
Joao Oliveira.
Hi - yes in the end I paid £19 to get it sim unlocked on the day that I got the phone as at the time there was only a test pda rom I think.
Anyway, my sim worked fine once I unlocked the phone but I couldn't get the GPS to work. I think the italian splitted radio rom was available after that so I tried flashing that - it didn't help the GPS, and in the end I had to flash the pda as well (the MSHC3 rom).
Now everything is working thanks to the guys here.
EUR130 is a lot of money to pay to get your phone unlocked....
I unsimlock my device i780 orange Fr with this website : http://www.unlock-samsung.net for 12,90 €

1. Insert an unauthorized sim card
2. Enter the pin code
3. you should have a notification "Network Locked"
4. press Ok or Hide
5. a lock must appear at the top of the screen
6. click on the lock
7. the keyboard pops up, enter the 8-digit unlock code
Have fun

Hello!
I bought the phone in UK with O2.
Some time ago, I tried to use sim-unlock which was in another trend here. They returned my money to me, coz they could not unlock it. Please, write a "step-by-step for donkey" instruction.
Nevermind
Sorry
