Hi there,
A good friend of mine will be celebrating her birthday in a week's time, so a few friends and I bought a SE W880i as a birthday gift for her. It's locked to the Orange network in the UK so I was wondering if anyone here knows how to unlock it (preferably free ones). I did a google search and I cant seem to understand what they're saying. Maybe cause Im used to my Hermes, and a SE suddenly seemed very odd to me. Also, I have read somewhere that this phone cant be unlocked from home; I'll need a special cable. Is it true?
Please help! I know I shouldnt be posting this here as it has nth to do with xda phones, but Im really running out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.

try that ^_^
Hey there. Thanks for your reply. Really appreciated that.
Anyway, found the link earlier on thru google before i post this thread. However, I didnt understand a thing they said. Im quite ok when it comes to Hermes, but with SE, im a total n00b! lol
-What are DB2020 models?
-CID49/51/52?
-DCU-60 cable?
-xs++?
So it is true that I will need an extra cable to unlock it myself? Aww deng. That means I'll have to buy it. Then might as well as pay for it to be unlocked since I'll have to spend anyway.
But, out of curiosity, how did those guys on ebay sell unlocking services for SE phones if it needs to be done with the DCU-60 cable? I think I've heard of some unlocking code or something.
Thanks!
For SE DB2020 DON'T NEED SPECIAL CABLE FOR UNLOCK (only need if you want to flash EROM, EEPROM e.g spanish village for you). The gsmhosting link is too good for you. Use this http://rs300.rapidshare.com/files/85926001/DB2020.rar
Thanks! I'll give it a go later in the day!

Maybe call the person who owns the phone. That's why passwords are there.
well there are alot or unlocks SIM/PUK/CID and more so it depends on what you need and i would find out all the password sruff from whoever you bought it from
You know if I ever lost my Dash or any cell phone that I have I would love for the person that found it to return it to me instead of taking it....people put locks on their device for a reason.....oh well..some people in the world always take things for themselves, that's why people get scammed it seems like all the time.

hahah that made me laugh. i was thinking the same thing.
no,no,i need to know how to unlock it to return it to the original owner tmobile won't probably be able to find out ,because the sticker with all the info is all scratch-up, when i return it he will probably give me a reword like or if its a she, she can give me some head.lol no I am serious

Umm if you are trying to find out who the person is then why the he!! are you trying to use activesync. You can just unlock the phone without connecting it to a PC or MAC and go to settings--> owner information without needing to connect it via activesync.... Furthermore you wouldn't have anything to gain by connecting it to your PC unless what you want to gain is something you DON'T OWN!!!
Here is the back way to unlocking the phone....
WALK your ass to a T-Mobile store and tell the rep "i found this phone. I would like for you guys to find the owner and return it to him" "here is my info, in case the owner wants to get a hold off me."
Thanks that unlock code works all the time.
naw neva mind ya guys are making it all difficult, I have a friend dat owns a cell shop and can unlock the fones for five buck
lmao ok have your friend unlock you the phone you found.

Do us all a favor, and take your lowlife a$$ to some other forum or slimey chat room. No one here wants to help you rip someone off.
No,no, guys... you're getting the guy wrong, he just want to get the phone back to its owner...
Oh! Barney is on tv right now... I gotta go!
Yeah! sure...
Besides from his grammar, i would guess he is 12. Who, at 12, has friends that are at least 16 working at T-Mobile? LMFAO

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

Hi guys
I've had an o2 Ignito for the last year and its given me no trouble whatsoever.
I've tried various roms for it, all with no problems.
All of a sudden, I'm getting no signal at all. o2 confirm the phone has not been blacklisted or anything and my sim card works ok in other phones.
Any ideas?
o2 have said send it back and we'll repair it... I've got a cooked rom on there of course.
I've got a o2 stock rom called: Xda Ignit2_UK_2.10.206.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe Would that be enough to get past they're security checks? Do I need to remove HardSPL 1st? I've searched the site and I can't get my head round doing it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help

Reverting to stock SPL is always the last step.....be sure tot restore stock ROM and radio first.
good luck!
Great stuff mate, thanks for that link. Don't know how I missed that.
It may be, that sticking a new rom on there might fix it. I'll let you know

The stockROM you mention has a radio in it (it's the last part of the description) so when you put this on it you're good to go.
He..everybody in here is/was a noob at some point, so no worries
Worked a treat, o2 were arses getting the phone back to me, but they did
In the end it was the main board that went so that's been replaced. So new EMEI number :|
Is there an easy/cheap/FREE way of unlocking it? I'm thinking of selling it because I've lost the heart with it somewhat.
Thanks again for the invaluable help, gotta love these forums
your most welcome, but can't help you out with the unlock thingy....never had a locked phone
O2 uk dont lock their phones! i have an ignito! they are not sim locked

Sell it, or get an upgrade.. Or just unlock it again. All three are just about as easy as each other. I stumbled upon a complete noob guide to flashing the other day. I think once you have a custom SPL on there you're good to do pretty much anything.
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?

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
I just got a hold of one of these devices from my brother, he has a better phone now so he just gave it to me.
I'm trying to root the device, it used to be onTelus but I have payed the unlock fee.
The problem being that everywhere I look it says that I need a GoldCard, and as far as I can find I can't make one anymore, can someone please help.
I'm willing to do more hex editing to edit more code if need be, I just don't know what to do.
Thank you
