Being an idiot ive remove the cid and update my orange firmware to htc origernal the software is so much better then orange but being a idiot i only red a few thread before doing it now when i put my orange sim card into which worked before it says its sim locked enter code.
i only want to use it on orange so dont really need an full unlock.
any suggestions of how to resolve this problem.
im most greatful for any help.
ive also tried following instructions to reset it to the carriers defaults the flash was sucessful but still asks for sim lock code.
will unlocking the phone solve the problem?
mate just full unlock the whole handset and all your troubles will go away - why would you want to not unlock it????? suggest you read the threads surrounding sms / mms / gprs on Orange as you will need to load the various cab files. When you have done that you phone will be like new
Enjoy.

i have double checked the unlocking section and from what i read the the tool provided is not working to unlock the kaiser. i would appreciate a link or advise on what i need to use to unlock a new att tilt/kaiser? it would seem the tool is available, i just haven't found it.

I have used the unlocking program available here to unlock my Spv M2000 on Orange. It said it was successful then asked for unlock code which i entered as 00000000. It then asks for the service provider unlock code, i have tried the following to no avail: "00000000" "0000" "1111" and leaving the space blank. Can any one help?
I have the exact same problem.
Please help
Exactly same problem here on M2000 on Orange UK.
They've sent it to technical who are no help, am I best to just upload the ROM files to one of these services and just pay for it to be unlocked?????/
Please advise ASAP as I urgently need the PDA!
I don't think a rom update will reset the lock code
Sorted it .... v1.6 of the xda unlock software solves this problem.
I got the same problem on orange m2000. I have tried v1.6 as well but it was still not working. any helps? Cheers!
I did run it three or four times and it said it had failed - but hadn't - when I put the SIM back in it was fine.
Did u mean u have done the unlock without put in a sim card?
Yes,
It had locked itself, so I took the SIM card out so I could get into the file manager and use it just as a pda....
loaded v1.6 across using ActiveSync and ran it 3 times.
Job done!
Thanks mavk,
That way works great. Just got my job done a few minutes ago. Cheers man!
No worries
Anyone know of a way to debrand the Tmobile Dash to get all of thier splash screens off of it?
Flash with the ROM posted in this thread. There are pluses and minuses to both. I like the S620 ROM myself. The only thing I miss is the ability to hold a key down to get the corosponding symbol. I don't miss the T-mobile garbage
how well does the rom work. is that the only issue is that you cant hold the keys down to get the other characters??
As long as you are WM literate enough to change the mms/gprs settings to work with your provider. Everything works great
are you refering to the post with this rom?
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Test.exe
making sure I am on the right track.
i would like to know how to do this also without turning my unlocked cingular dash into a brick.

Just follow the direction to the tea. Other than that there are never any promises. But more people successfully flash their ROM then don't

before i get started, what do i need to change speficially to work it with cingular?
is there a way to revert back if it doesnt go well?
I've done this myself with my Dash as I have changed from T-mobile to Cingular.
Make sure that you are CID unlocked. Do not confuse SIM unlocking with CID unlocking. If you need help determining if you are CID unlocked I've got one question, did you pay to get CID unlocked? If yes then you know what you are doing but if no then you are not CID unlocked and it will not flash. Getting a SIM unlock code from T-mobile allows you to use other carriers but you still cannot flash the phone with just a SIM unlock.
Flashing the phone is simple, plug it in, let active sync run and then double click the Rom file you've downloaded and follow the instructions. In a few minutes your phone will restart and all of the T-mobile stuff is gone and you are off to a fresh start.
As for settings, you will need to change GPRS and MMS settings like others said. The info you need can be obtained from hofo or cingular's website, it's pretty straight forward.

how do i go about CID Unlocking it?
I have an o2 cosmo in german. I know it is unlocked because I can use my cingular sim card. If I try to flash a new ROM without knowing if it is CID unlocked, would it brick my phone? or would it just not let me do it?. I have changed ROM's before on different HTC's phones but it seems like there is not a lot of reseach on the excalibur.
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 €

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

hi,
this afternoon, i finally get a network code for my p552.
unfortunately, my operator support (orange) doesn't have a valid procedure to set the unlocking code...
First problem, the length of the code which is 10 in my case and 8 within the procedure...
Then, when i try another simcard from another network, if i set my pincode, nothing happens, except i don't have any network connexion available (which is normal, as my phone is locked on orange network)...i hoped a popup or something would give me access to a form to enter the unlocking code.
I think there is a way to enter the code with a special manufacturer code like *#12345678#unlock_code# (or something like that....)
So, if anybody here has already unlock an Asus mobile phone (not especially the p552), it will be very nice to give me a procedure so i can test it on my phone with my own unlock_code.
Thanks.
edit : in fact, the "enter unlock code" screen does not show up...And i really don't understand why.
edit (06/07/2009)
To unlock the p552 (orange network) you have to do the following :
1. Power ON your phone with a not allowed sim card (one that didn't come with the phone)
2. Type *#865625#SIMUNLOCK CODE (provided by your operator) - without clicking on the "call button".
3. A popup will appear telling you it's done.
And now, to fully take advantage of your new simcard :
wait some moments
OR switch to plane mode and to phone mode again, type your pincode
...And it works!
bump.
If anybody knows.
Where to you to throw a file?
I don't understand... You want to send me a file?
Do you unlocked your phone or what?
if you read carefully my post, you'll understand that i don't have any instruction from my provider to do it. I've got the unlock code, that's all.

And you can't go to the shop and ask for the instructions?
Because instructions provided by both stores and customer services are erroneous...
Everyone who owns this phone, experience the same problem, and there is no known solution right now as technical services from orange are not qualified enough to solve it and guys from asus support won't help us as orange is the official distributor.
In short, right now, we're screwed.
Bump for justice \o/
See first post to get correct instructions.
thx very much for your help

Who can provide unlock code for Asus p552 locked from orange uk?
Hi every one, my phone model is HTC Hermes 8525 locked to Att. Now it is in original box with Windows Mobile 5. I want to unlock it first. I have read articles on this BBS and aware that if I want to do future Rom flashing things I might need both SIM and CID unlocked. At same time I found several unlock code provider on Ebay.com. Now the questions come up.
1) Is Unlock code got via Ebay only for SIM unlock, or it is for both?
2) Is there any risk for such kind of unlock code for my phone? What's the worst outcome for using unlocker software downloaded here?
3) If I don't unlock my CID, can I still upgrade my phone with WM6? What specific ROM of WM6 shall I use?
4) Any other suggestion is welcomed, Ad's also.
Thanks a head

Hi and welcome to xda-developers forum!
1) I think this "unlock code" will provide you an ability to disable/re-enable SIM Lock/Operator Lock, not CID Lock (as it's platform specific and required to flash unofficial ROMs)
2) The worst is device will become brick. But it could occur only if you download and flash wrong ROM.
3) No, if it's unofficial. If HTC provided a WM6 update to Hermes (I don't remember), it could be flashed.
Good luck
