Hi,
I bought an o2 XDA graphite in the U.K and want to use it in the Netherlands with other network. I need to unlock the phone.
I ran a few searches on this forum and couldn't really get a clear understanding of the process.
Is there a specific software to unlock this model? do I need to burn a new firmware?
If you could point me to the right thread it would be great.
Thanks a lot

Seems XDA II can be "unblock", how about IIs?
Thanks everyone!
PS: I can't see MDA III from T-Mobile UK on its website, or in shop few days ago, is it really released in UK? If it is unlockable for 15pounds I am happy to pay for it, but I like the black colour of IIs more.
Thanks again!
Hi all, newbie to the forum here.
I too like the black casing of the XDA IIs as opposed to the MDA III, PDA2k, etc. and would like to know if it's possible to unlock this phone.
I'd also like to know if, once unlocked, it's possible to put a different ROM on the device, like the imate PDA2k ROM or the UK MDA III ROM.
In reading through the forum, it seems that there's not much information about the XDA IIs yet, but any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

However, I am not sure as to how to use the cab file in this forum. Anybody has tried this before or willing to try this?
Let me know if this works on IIs.

There are 2 files being offered in the linked thread, one is for unlocking xda 2. the other is for unlocking extended rom on xda2s, as far as I can see these files are useless for unlocking the to other service providers.
Where are you "Itsme" ? We need your help to unlock the Blueangel
Who has MDA-Pro can apparently ask T-mobile to unlock the phone for free / for 25 Pounds.
I-mate - unlock Jasjars.

Hi,
I am not sure how useful this will be to you, but my XDA Exec was already unlocked when I bought it (Direct from O2).
Mine was purchased in the UK, I don't know if it will be the same for those bought elsewhere?
Are you sure that yours is actually locked to O2? It might be the case that it is not locked at all. Have you tried inserting a sim from another network to see what happens?
Best of Luck.

My O2 XDA Exec also is unlocked from the factory, tested with Orange & Vodafone SIM Cards successfully
Hi everyone,
I'm new to all this and being a female I'm just confused with what I need to do!
I have an XDA IIi that I got from O2 in the uk a year ago and now I live in NZ and need to have it unlocked so that I can use an NZ sim card in it. O2 uk want to charge me for it so can I get it unlocked for free? :roll:
I so how, (and in plain english too as I'm not very good at all this technical stuff!)
Thanks for all you help
Cheryl :wink:
Use the search link at the top of the page. It's been mentioned many many times before.
Or if you prefer the old manual way look in the Alpine section.
Now here's a strange thing! I have recently downloaded and upgraded my O2 XDA's firmware with the latest version from O2, filename Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162 (this was released circa mid-April 2006).
Whilst I was having a search both on this and other forums for unlocking software for the same model, I came across a link back to O2. Imagine my suprise when I found that the file was no longer available and had been replaced with a previous release!!!!
Well, the phone has been fairly reliable, needing perhaps just one reboot or less per day and it has been having very extensive use. I wondered why O2 would pull this release? Then I thought, hang-on, found a T-Mobile SIM and installed it.
Guess what??!!! (you've guessed, you've spoilt my news....)
The phone is unlocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I don't know of course was whether the XDA Exec phone was unlocked to start with, but certainly my previous XDA IIi WAS locked by O2.
Can anyone else confirm on their non-upgraded or upgraded device please?
Regards
David
As I understand it the o2 Execs sold in the UK are not locked. The T-Mobile and Orange variants ARE locked (worse luck - I have the T-Mo MDA Pro).
Yours will never have been locked.
Cheers,
Phil
What Unlock Code?
mmm, I think I'll sit down and have a nice mug of Ovaltine.
Yep, quite correct, it appears that o2 XDA Execs are supplied unlocked. Also the latest firmware IS still available, but there is an old link which only points to the older firmware.
Here's the new stuff:-
