Can you unlock mda Vario G4? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi, I have spent all day trying to unlock my mda, i have followed two methods one one to install lokiwiz and open this with my phone on active sync connected to pc, it opens then says your simlock code is your code type it in with a diff sim?
I have then put my new sim in the phone and it is asking for an unlock code 8 digits long?
I then tried another method of using Enablerapi.cab which open on your phone and this seemed to be going great, used lockiwiz on pc and the it told me to type in U for unlock, after following this method it still asks for the code!!!
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!! IVE WASTED ALL SUNDAY ON THIS!

read the '[READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards' sticky in the wizard forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. CID Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
follow the instructions exactly

Hi and thanks for your reply, wish i found that guide yesterday!
I am following it exactly but only got as far as the downgrade rom, it came up unable to update your pda with this software, please get up to date software? (not exact words).
Sorry but I am not PC minded at all, but can follow instructions so confident with your help i will get there in the end.
Thanks again

PS
Just checked the IPL etc and it is a G4 phone???????? does that mean it can not be unlocked, had the 2.21 with lots of 000000's.
Thanks

firstly my i'm sorry to hear you have a g4
secondly, i'm not sure about the details (get busy with google) but you CAN flash other roms it just takes more effort. I think that you need to flash roms which do not include a ipl & spl
check out post #230 in this thread (i use this rom btw)

good luck

Unlocking Cingular 8125, provided space isn't large enough for unlock code

I am using lokiwiz unlocking software and procedure on my Cingular 8125 with 2.25 firmware. The problem is that my unlock code is "SIMLock Code" but when I try to enter that into my phone when prompted for an unlock code, the provided space isn't large enough. All I can enter is "SIMLock ". What am I doing wrong?
Get the latest version of lokiwiz - HTC Wizard Unlocker. I think its version 0.2b. from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474. it will unlock for you. Read the instructions carefully and know what you are doing.
It will all be done and is really simple if you ask me
on the screen, look for SIMlockCode, and it the NUMBERS that you enter.
I just unlocked mine about an hour ago, so i know it works
again its the nubers listed NEXT to simlockcode halfway down the screen

How to Unlock Artemis ONLY via mtty and bootloader mode having Unlock Infos

The big question is:
Is there any chance to unlock my Artemis under these conditions?
1. Access to Artemis only via Mtty to Bootloader mode possible
2. Today a got the right Unlock Information for my MDA.
Here my sad story:
Step 1:
After upgrade my T-Mobile MDA COmpact III from vm5 to HTC_P3300_GER_3.13.407.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R
for two day everything works fine. At this point my Artemis was locked (T-Mobile).
Step 2:
After one soft reset yesterday, Artemis cannot start any more. Boot-process stops on second Image (Windows-Mobile)
and don't go further.
Step 3:
First good news is: I can start my Artemis in to bootloader mode and connect my self with Artemis via mtty tool.
Step 4:
Second good news is: I got my unlock information for MDA, and received it from D-T-Mobile today.
What I need is one step-by-step description, how to proceed in this case, assumed, there is hope for me.
Dear community, I’m very frustrates. I need my PDA, need your help
and your my only hope.
MDa Artemis community, I count on you.
Thx a lot
Jacque

Your mobile is locked. SPL for unlocked is 1.11.0000. Did you try to run USPL while in bootloader?
freco: waste of time, before flashing USPL it must be in Async. USPL uses to "flash itself" some kind of fake bootloader. To enter this fake bootldr some files must be copied to device thru pdocwrite, in bootloader they cant.
pdocwrite

LT15i Locked bootloader help please

Hi all,
I have read many threads on this page, and developers pages, however, it seems quite difficult to unlock this O2 LT15i so I can install ICS.
I have tired and failed.
Is there anyone that might be able to spend a little time talking me through the steps to do so.
I just wish this phone was unlocked as if it was, it appears simpler.
PLEASE can anyone help, or suggest a step by step guide. (for novices like me) that really want the phone working well, but arent 100% clued up on all the softwares.
I understand the process of installing ICS to phones, as I have done so with my HTC HD2 (workked very well in under an hour). but this LT15i is something else!!!
Please help.
(sorry if this has been posted before, but I have honestly tried howevver, the guides I used have missing links, or trojans in the downloads
Kind regards
P
forgot to mention Bootloader unlock allowed says NO.
Whats my first step?
I follow all the other guides and they all have yes as the answer....

Bootloader & SIM Unlocking:
PLEASE NOTE: The ONLY WAY to Sim Unlock your Phone is to PAY for it, so do some Googling and read which services have been recommended in the past.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
If you're Phone was manufactured AFTER a certain date, 12W11 (look under your battery for a similar number) then the Testpoint method no longer works, and People who have had Phones returned from a Service Centre are reporting that they can no longer unlock via the Testpoint method either.
- Know Your Android Bootloader - What it is and Why it Matters
There are three ways to Unlock yours, the Standard/Official method (For SimFree/Un-Branded Phones) which is explained HERE, (PLEASE NOTE! - You loose DRM when using the official method but not with the TestPoint) but if your Phone came from a Carrier then chances are (99%) you won't be able to use that method. There is a simple method of checking if you can or not which you'll find HERE.
Standard Unlocking:
Then there is the TestPoint method...
TestPoint Unlocking:
Two members - Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 offer a Remote Service which isn't free, but cheaper than anywhere else on the net, and when you take in to account you will also SIM Unlock and retain DRM using the Remote method it's worth it.

Hey buddy, you don't need to unlock your boot loader before you install a custom ROM or upgrade your phone to a custom firmware, all you need is to get rooted and download the ful ROM, then with the help of flashtool, your done. Am currently running a custom ROM (viper xperia) which is blazingly fast and lovely UI with my Lt15i locked bootloader.

[HELP] Unlock Bootloader: NO/ Rooting Problems SE Xperia Arc (LT15i)

Hi,
First off sorry for any reposts is didnt know what else to do after reading forum posts for hours and hours.
So heres the Crack. I'm tring to flash CM 9 onto my SE Xperia Arc (LT15i) and so far here is what i have done.
dialed *#*#7378423#*#* and found my phone is BOOTLOCKER ENABLED=NO
Asked o2 for a Sim Unlock Code
Entered that unlock code sucssesfuly
re dialed the num in point one to find that is sill says no
tried putting into fastboot anyway (as suggested by users in another post)
I'm other things i did where email and ring o2 both gave me no help and email sony mobile and recive no reply after now a week and a half
does anyone have any tips on turning the boot loader to say yes as that is my only hurdle to rooting this phone, i believe it is possible as i read a page on the sony forums sayinf a spansih comanpy called movistar was offering it for there customers however i then though one last ditch attempt with o2 on there forums where the customer service lady flatout refuses knowlage of a bootloader.
in summery a) sorry for rambling a little b) is it even possible by any means to change the UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: NO to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: YES. and if so how?? c) sorry again if this is a duplicate post i didnt know what else to do at this stage.
If the SIM unlock was successful you should be able to unlock your bootloader. Just follow the steps here:

Actually no. Just removing the SIM-lock does not enable fastboot (and does not change Bootloader Unlock Allowed, it still stays on No).
The only way to unlock bootloader is by using test point method, if your phone is manufactured before 12W11 (11th week of 2012). You can check it under the battery. If your phone is manufactured after 12W11, then you can not unlock your bootloader and can only use stock-based ROMs.
There is no known solution to this at the moment and due to lack of interest by developers, it is highly unlikely someone will work on it.
It seems like i found the solution.
you have to pay £10 via paypal on phoneunlockserver(dot)com
and he will log on to you computer via himatchi and you put your tweezers on the test point (for the arc its under the sim card) and then plug into the usb and he flashes a kernal or something.
i havn't tried this out yet but if anyone has please let me know how it went

This is called the test point method. It only works on phones manufactured before 12W11.

oh okay thats wallright then mines an 11W18
No need to remove SIM-lock, just find the guide to unlock bootloader via test point method using S1Tool. Follow the guide and it should work.
You can do it pretty much by yourself, no need to pay, if I remember correctly.
