can i lock my Excalibur if its been stolen?

Hi is there a way to lock my phone wirelessly via the imei or something like that?
im soooo pissed.

Unfortunately Not
You'd want to inform your carrier immediately, so that they can disable the associated phone from your account.
But even then, if the phone is not sim locked, then they can simply take out your sim, put theirs in, and begin placing calls using their account however.
Hopefully you don't have anything confidential on your phone. My guess though is that they probably just liked the phone. They'll keep the apps that they think are cool, and remove the ones that they don't like. In other words, they're probably more interested in the hardware, rather than your data.

sim unlock for my htc s620

hi,
I live in Cuba and a friend of mine brought me a smart phone( htc s620), but its locked to T-Mobile Network, i made a deep search on the Internet and i know there are pages where i can unlock my phone but i have to pay for it, but here i don´t have a credit card, so i can´t by anything on the internet. So my question is:
Is there some way to sim-unlock my phone without paying anything?
thanks

No, there isn't if you did search as much as you say, if there was a way to unlock it for free , you would have found it. I would suggest to get a visa prepaid card, put some money on it, and then use it to pay for the unlock.

thanks
thak you so much for your information, i was afraid that was the only way to fix my problem, but i´ll have to find a solution, i´ll let you know what i did to solve this situation, someone here told me he could unlock my phone but i would have to pay 80cuc thats a very expensive. Thanks for your help

Can my phone be rooted? ARROWS 201F, FUJITSU

Can anybody tell me if this phone is capable of being unlocked? IF possible, please post a guide? I'm a new user to the forum, so I can't drop you a link. But they have the guide on softbank's English website. I think it's the best phone stupid softbank offers.
Always wanted a rooted phone. Please, help me out with this?
:cyclops:

As for unlocking your phone their are third party sites that can help with that, usually the unlocking process is just a simple code entered after inserting a foreign sim card, which will SIM unlock your phone. As for root you can check this link in XDA fourm

Follow-up request
I got a newer model: 301F.
Listen, this gives me hope, but I'm a total beginner at this stuff. What kind of third-party site helps with that? Could you send me some sample links that might work with my phone? Because it's really my dream to unlock my phone, man, and get sudo access--root it, ideally.
This is really cool. Thanks so much for writing. But I'm really hoping for something a wintard can figure out.
About the thread: it's for the F-X02, right? It's a slightly different model. It's also a different provider. I thought: "Maybe a custom ROM or rooting method needs to be made per each phone?" I'm not sure.
Thanks, again. Please, follow-up.

Your milage may vary, but you can check Ebay for unlock codes (they go for like 2 dollars or something) really cheap, so far i have unlocked 3 phones using this method, which is a sim unlock and works perfectly fine. If they cannot find a sim unlock code for you then they refund you your 2-3 bucks whatever it costs (still cheap) i would suggest you try this with an un-activated (or activated sim card) doesn't make much of a difference. you can literally just walk into any atnt store or (whatever provider you want unlocked) and ask for a empty sim let them know you want to unlock your phone to be on their service and they will be more than happy to just give u one ! By the way the unlock instructions are emailed to you when you order a code, they will ask for the proper IMEI number and what not, all of this is in their directions. Let me know how it goes

Be prepared to get in trouble if the original owner files a report to police for lost phone. It's better you either try to contact back the owner and return it, or report to nearest police station where you found it. If you want to use it for yourself, there are grey methods available, but it will always be risky if the IMEI of the device is reported to police/network provider. So good luck with it

Wow...

Honestly... This says alot about you..
Put yourself in this poor person's place.. these thing cost a lot of cash..
Most of us have our lives in these devices.
Pictures of our Children or Family.. Precious moments..
Bank Accounts... Contacts.. Personal and Professional.
And here you are..... trying to BREAK INTO IT AND ASKING FOR *HELP* here at XDA.
I think.. you should be traced... and turned in to the Authorities..
DO THE RIGHT THING.. MAKE ***EVERY EFFORT*** TO CONTACT THE OWNER AND RETURN THE PHONE.
This Thread Is Just Not Cool Man.

Wow u r asking the community to help you steal someone's phone.The owner can easily track you.Simply return it by contacting the owner or go to a police station and submit the phone over there and if you are going to keep it get ready to get into big trouble

Try calling 911 or 100 and then ask them you found this phone on lying road and tell them to unlock it. Then the phone will be sucessfully unlocked. Please dont switch off that phone else owner will be able to track it if phone is switched off. Good luck

Return it to the police or directly call the owner, get yourself a probable award or good wishes!!

Wtf
Guys I do want to return it but the problem is sim card is not there and mobile not opening why u guys Makin me thief, I just wanted to get into it so I cud find the contacts of the seller and return it to him....I was in a trip, I was like 500km far from where am I now. If I even return it the local police station I am not sure if they are going to give it back to the real owner. Or might be possible police they sell it back to someone, I don't trust those money seeking policemen... I was asking a solution for it. Dammit my title was I found a phone in the road, not I want to steal someone's phone. Don't judge before knowing anything. If I wanted to scam the phone I cud have come up with another story like I bought a phone from a guy and it's locked but i didn't.

Thanks man

Hey thanks bro for your reply, but I want to return it , I am going to try it, if not worked then I will report it to the police station from where I found it, and will say them of they find the owner of it then they can contact me.. as I am far now I am not able to give it to the police station so it's the best possible way for me.

No sim is there bro

Well I am sorry man if I hurt you but your title was somewhat misleading, it felt more like you found a phone and can't get into it and somehow if you can break in then the thing would be yours to keep. Most of us got the same meaning from your heading. Anyways I am sorry again if I was rude and too quick to judge you.As for the phone it is locked and you can't get into it even if u hard reset the phone miui won't allow you to get in until you sign in with the same mi id.You are not going to go to police station as you are not in the area where you found it and I understand that.Now to me the solutions include using the IMEI no to find the owner.Second if the bootloader is unlocked flash a custom ROM which will allow you to get into the device but will wipe every contact information from phone though you can still access the owner's files which may help you to track him.And thirdly if u fail to do the above two things keep it connected to internet through WiFi or mobile data which may help the owner to track the phone.If u fail in all these I think it is better to give it to a police station as you will be safe in every aspect and you will not get into any potential mess.And if u have made your mind not to contact police then the phone is yours to keep

Try contacting the police as soon as possible cuz if you're found it's not going to be your intentions but the fact you owned the device without taking to the police which will be seen.

Try posting on MIUI forum. Let them know IMEI number, and probably they can let know which user ID/phone number it is tagged to. Once you get the phone number, maybe you can call it up?
You have done a great job so far, keep up the good work

Removing the Screen swipe lock on a non-rooted, developer mode disabled phone.

I have a phone given to me by my mother's friend who's son died in a drowning accident. She wants to get the images off of his phone (internal memory), but the phone is swipe pass locked, and he never enabled debugger mode, nor rooted it.
Is there a way to remove the screen lock? I do have his email and password, but I don't think that's enough, based on what I've tried.
Thanks

firstly, id like to offer my 100% sincere condolences. I just lost my mom a little over a year and a half ago and one of my favorite aunts just 2 weeks ago. So please believe me when i say im sorry for your loss.
There is a way to do this, but its very much on the outside of what XDA can advise on as it would open pandoras box for thieves.
Your best bet is to call google with the email address and password, inform them of his passing along with showing them where the obit is online and ask for access.
Im not sure what the death clause exactly reads, but you might have to have the executor or executrix of his estate request this. I work in health insurance and we have to abide by HIPAA, but i dont know what crazyness google will make you go thru
good luck man. I had a similar thing trying to get pics off of a mac for a friend who's sister passed away. It was a total b**ch to get done, but i got it done (Linux to the rescue)

Great, thank you so much for the advice. It's too bad I can't do it myself, but you've saved me a lot of hassle trying to do something I can't. I'll let her know.
