Dude, WTF are you talking about, lol!
It's a CDMA phone, it's not locked. No CDMA phones are. If you are talking about the "unlock code" to access the programming menu to enter the IMEI it's based off the ESN so you have to call the carrier to get it. It also come times depends how many times the phone has been programmed but not on this phone.
It's a Verizon phone, what carrier are you trying to activate it under? You are going to have to contact your carrier and see if you can get a tech to add it's ESN to their system and then have a tech install that carriers PRL file.
Hi, thanks for the tips.
So, what I have to do is bring the phone to the new carrier and ask them to add the ESN? Do they will need any unlocking code from Verizon? Please hep me to explain to them. Thank alot for your help
You can't just walk into a store or call their customer support. Hopefully you already have service and just need to do an ESN change. Also I presume the carrier you want is also CDMA correct?
You are going to cautiously ask a tech in a store if they know someone at corporate who can add an ESN to their system and you may have to make it worth his while. Then he is going to have to download that carriers PRL for you. Then he himself can do the ESN change and programming. Based on the ESN he should be able to figure the unlock code for the programming menu or he may have to do it over the air.
Lastly and very important, you are going to have to hard reset and install the ExtROM for your carriers version of that phone. If it's Telus or Sprint we can help you with that.

Thanks 92GTA.
I went to my new carrier Telefonica del Peru:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Priority 2
32385 [D] RM ?? (Peru)
32509 [D] RM ?? (Peru)
32511 [D] RM Telefonica Del Peru - Lima (Peru)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
But they couldn't give me a PRL.
WHAT IS PRL?
Is it a complex file?
Is it just a secuence of numbers?
Is it a special program *.prl?
Where can I find the infamous PRL to transer into the phone an update the old?. Currently appears PRL version 50224.
An the *.prl file appears in blank.
Thanks in advance.

if its a harrier theres no wm5,wm6,wm6.1 nor wm6.5 for these phones sorry, but in the other hand if its a HCT blue angel the gsm variant then yes.
Not using Radio
I have an old Sprint PPC 6600 (PH20A2). It is not activated for service on Sprint. Since I am not using the Radio, will a Blue Angel ROM work for me to give me WM 5 or higher. I'd like to have this device run WM 5 or higher so I can test and use other WM programs before I use them on my Touch Pro.
Verizon XV6600 To MetroPCS ESN issue
I have everything working correctly, simply by loading the PRL and changing some options in the service menu (dialed ##778<talk> code:000000) I can contact MetroPCS, recieve notification of voicemail but I cannot make calls or receive them because the ESN is not is not registered with their company. I contacted them over the phone and spoke with them personally at a local store but they said they couldnt do it for this particular phone. So is there a way to change my ESN or clone the ESN of the phone I currently own and have service for?
FYI:MetroPCS flashes the rom and then clones the ESN numbers, so its perfectly legal in Florida.

+1.
This forum has been vital in helping my in every aspect in getting my 6600 from VZW to Sprint. Now I just need to change the ESN number over to a sprint one so I can use the phone.
Any thoughts? Its just something to use in the interim until a more permanent solution arises.
Help?
i don't really know about the harrier and also i don't really have a clue about cdma networks, we don't have stuff like that in europe, but anyways, i was curious and googled "ESN number" and guess what popped up 3rd in search, a way to change it. at least for normal phones, anyways, here's the link, maybe it can help you:
http://www.ehow.com/how_2051233_change-esn-number.html
and by just looking at the screenshots, it actually might work, since all that is just dependable of a virtual com port, assigned to usb and seems independant from the phone's os, just need the modem drivers.
and maybe this might help you too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=846264&postcount=6
i really don't know whether any of that was helpful, but since i am already here and there are hardly any harrier users around, might anyone want to explain to me, why there even is such a problem? maybe i could help and search things more effectively then, basicly i just know about gsm, and my phone works with any card, and my card works with any phone, my carrier does not know about my imei, my brand, my phone model or my position. they just know my name, birthday and address, they don't even have my bank information or anything.
that is why i don't get all the lockings and restrictions and probably am a poor help right now.

Yes, I've tried that several times before, but the phone never uses a specific port when connecting via USB or blue tooth. It never shows up/is recognized on QPST even when connected to the cradle, and or in Bootloader mode. It seems that, unfortunately, in order for QPST to connect to the phone, the phone needs to be in DM (daig mode) which doesnt seem to exist because the code ##diag+talk or ##diag# nor any supplied before manages to set the phone in said mode. I've spent countless hours searching the net looking for an answer and so far nothing has come up. Which is why I decided to post here. My last and most recent discovery has been dmrouter.exe but so far I havent been able to try it. If it works I'll post it as a solution here. If it does not then I think I'm going to sell my phone and buy a blackberry...
Sorry guys, but no luck. The most i managed to do was dump the ROM to the SD card and play with the data. I'll have to look deeper into it to determine how to change the ESN since its quite a bit of data.
here is a link to the instructions if you're interested in giving it a try yourselves:

how can i change IMEI in Gigabyte G-smart i ?
does unlocking mean changing IMEI ?
however i need changing IMEI of the pda !
the phone OS is "Microsoft Window Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition(AKU2)"
and complete description is here :
http://www.gsmarena.com/gigabyte_g_smart_i-1759.php
and one question more : is changing IMEI depended on the brand of the pda or it is depended on OS version for PDAs or ... ?
Thanks all for helps ...
it is dependent on the phone the model and the way of storing the IMEI, I dont think there is much info on IMEI changing on this site (and indeed the entire internet) because of the legality of it.
IMEI "repair" is a better way to put it... but its still probably illegal in your country. Use the search function on this site to see the methods used on HTC PDA's and also look around the net for something specific to your PDA. Chances are no other tools for other pda's will work.
Cheers.
Buncey.
Unlocking means that your phone can use any sim card from any gsm company.
It hasn't nothing to do with imei.

u can unlock the device so you can use any other network simcard in your device, however, it is very illegal to change any IMEI of a handset . the only reason really that anyone would want to do this is if a handsert is stolen and someone tries to change the imei before the block signal is sent to that device.
joey jojo ,
It's not only the reason !!!
There are many people having problems with registering their IMEI in Service provider maybe for sudden draft law, so they can't use their device in network if they buy it from another country !
in which case the draft laws mean that it's ilegal
:S
I have not asked if it is illegal or legal , i just wanted to know if it is possible or no , so you can answer to the first question if you know , otherwise please ....

Probably no one will tell you here because, as I understand it, changing the IMEI is illegal.
If the phone works, why change it. If the IMEI is blocked then the phone is probably stolen... Just return it and buy your own.

Most software registration codes are tied to the "Name" under Settings... Owner Information... Identification... or possibly the "Device ID" under Settings.. System... About... -- not to the IMEI.
I'd check these first before you cause yourself too much heartburn...

I'm betting this guy flashed one of the weird WM6 builds that changed the device id's on a few phones. We saw a lot of problems with TomTom, SlingPlayer, and some other apps because of this.
If the user above flashes back to WM5, or to the absolute latest WM6 builds, it will go back to the 'old' hardware id.
But yeah; I've never seen any software tied to the IMEI. Sometimes I wish it was (I'd be happy if it would tie to the IMSI, personally)...

sounds to me that the CID unlocking might not have been done properly
let's just say that the ROM/bootloader in question isn't the problem ... YOU SHOULDN'T encounter the "invalid vendor ID" message whatsoever ... because that's what CID unlocking does !!!
As far as I know there is no way to CID unlock the HTC S620 yet. However IMEI check have a work around to get the t-mobile WM6 Rom on there. The instructions are on the forum somewhere but I can't seem to see them right now.

Ok..I used GSM Liberty to unlock the HTCs620. It is definitely SIM unlocked as I can use any SIM I want to. I have seen the IMEI-check work-around & am hesitant to try it because the work-around includes changing part of the ROM code to read IMEI-Check. Not sure how that would work with a GSM Liberty unlocked phone. Does it matter? Anyone know for sure? Anybody else used GSM Liberty to unlock their phone?

I have the HTC S621 (Rogers Canada ) ... which is the same machine as S620/Dash/Dopod C720W ...etc
They are the same beast ... just market brand in different part of the world.
It came originally locked with Rogers carrier ..etc ... then I went to the above link and paid for the CID/SIM unlocking service .. plus I went on to do the AppZ unlocking myself ... Now I can upgrade/downgrade as I wish ... no problems whatsoever.
...except for the bugs of each indivual OS .. LOL
Non-branded meaning the phone having HTC's logo instead of the carrier's branded logo
mine is also non-branded.

All I can think of is that imei-check have updated their software and now it is a real CID unlock. When I first flashed the WM6 imei check sent those hex editing instructions in an email (your first link) and that worked for me. So people should probably ensure they unlock with IMEI checks latest version and try that second link with the instructions if your phone really is super cid. If you still get invalid vendor then give the first link a try.

I've figured it out. The instructions you are suggesting involve downgrading the bootloader from 1.19 to 1.11. Where as the instructions that imei supplied don't require the downgrade but do involve the hex editing.
I just tried UnicornKaz's suggested technique on a Rodgers HTC-S620 and they worked fine, so that way seems easier to me. It seems when you flash to WM6 it updates the bootlooader to a newer one again which doesnt show the red text on black background at startup.
don't forget to use it again when you do the downgrading to WM5
makes for easier/error free ... to run it everytime !
and keep in mind that after each ROM upgrade/downgrade ... your phone needs to be "app unlocked" again
do you even need to pay imei-check? Perhaps it works withthat boot loader without even needing a cid unlock!!

Hi - i have a uk vodafone tattoo (no contract) which i would like to unlock, meaning that i can use a sim from a different country - i understand this means overcoming the net/CID lock?! - apologies but i'm very new to this so not sure if i'm using the right terminology but basically i would like to use my tattoo with a different sim from a different country.
vodafone have given me a code based on my imei but it didn't work - i double checked with them but apparently it's the correct code.
so, what i have done then is - i gained root access and flashed the modaco tattoo custom rom.
the vodafone branding is gone but the network is still unlocked.
is there a way to get it unlocked? would i flash a different rom? can anyone help? i don't have much knowledge and i'm quite new to this.
also i did search the forum and didn't get the answer i needed but if there is a post that explains it - please direct me instead.
many thanks for your help!
a
anyone who can help??
I can only advise to GOOGLE it. Not being sarcastic by any means.....just trying to help
believe it or not i did ask google (not trying to be sarcastic either). and as mentioned i already have a code that vodafone provided via htc, which doesn't work, so i posted here as i thought there might be someone in this forum to help.
if there is anyone with helpful advise - it's much appreciated.

Ok then....have you called Orange to request the right code? have you followed the proper protocols for unlocking that phone?
I think you were given the wrong code by Orange.
hm. it's vodafone (not organge) - and yes i requested the code. and double checked with them - they said it's the right code. although i agree it apparently is not - after flashing it allowed me 3 new attempts and i have now entered it 4 times so clearly it must be incorrect.
the option is to send it to vodafone but given it's now rooted and flashed i'd rather figure out a way myself to remove the CID/Netlock - but looks like there is no straight way forward..
Welcome to forums
I would check on ebay or try contact olipro member to buy an unlock code
Don't get in trouble!
Somtimes it is easier spending 15 Eruros and 30 minutes than trying magic.
Just one advice. The process erase the data, so remember to do a NAND BackUp before.
I did it before changing from Vodafone to Simyo.
Now i have got a free Tattoo and also changed the ROM.
If you need a code for this phone.
Please do pm me.
