My friend bought me a tmobile dash from america.I hevw to run the phone on a greek network but it doesnt working.It says the sim is valid?What do i have to do to make it work?
get it sim unlocked for one.
Read this thread
Is this the only way?I mean i have a qtek8310 and i sim unlocked it with the SPV-Services.Can i do the same with the Dash?I dont have a windows xp system at the time and the progrmam doesnt run..Thats why im asking!
Did anyone tested it?
Anyway if this is the only way unlocking the phone whats the price jockyw2001 asking?
If your phone had it working with an American provider, he can call the provider for the unlock code.
If it was straight from a store........find a computer with XP and go thru Jocky.
Not sure how much he asks for.
Can't you ask any off them Ellines to unlock it for you out there?
He changed the provider he doesnt have anymore T-mobile so we cant ask for a code anymore...
Before i ment that SPV-services doesnt run on vista.You must run it on XP system to test it if it can unlock the phone the same way as qtek8310 did.
Oi "Ellines" want a lot of money to do it!Some big mobile phone stores in Greece think that we are stupid...
They want something like 60euros witch is about 80dollars sometimes to make just a sim unlock and i dont trust them!I prefer to do it my way!
Lot of money dont you thing..?

Ok here’s my question,
I would like to have my PHONE password to be prompt on booting,
and not the SimCard asking the pincode
but to secure my data (& phonebill)
i would like to know if its possible
like back in the days on my NOKIA :s (yah I know)
I could select the option, on phone swapping the simcard the phone would ask for the puk code
so the card wouldn’t b usable without pin on another phone
(id rather not lose my phone but u never know right?)
Is there a way?
thx a lot,
Kartboy
From what i remember (had a 3210 and a (oh yes baby) 7110) the option was for the phone to ask for a security code when a different sim was put in it yer?
There was a security setting which if set to the highest would promt for this code whenevr the phone was powered up aswell.
The sim code option is what i use at the moment on my TyTN as i have always locked my sim card, but afaik there isnt an option for when a different sim/usim card is inserted.
yah the 7110 was a funny one .. matrix style .. had 2 of em since my first on crashed on a wall on a bad night lol
yah those are the settings i mean,
u think that if i did that setting on the nokia b4 it will still remain on the sim?
No the sim card wouldnt retain that sort of info, when you setup sim lock it retains THAT setting but not phone specific ones, there isnt much security-wise as standard in WM5-6. Perhaps look for a 3rd party solution to this??? Or if you are feeling adventurous develop your own!? (in the xda-devs spirit!)

Hell yes the 7110 was a GREAT phone
I was considering this option,
since i got some clients who prefer using blackberry (i dun get why)
with the reason that,
if u fail 5times ur code @ boot the device getz erased,
which is pretty good for privacy i think,
i mean if i lose my phone
i can lock my sim with the provider easily but u dun need to activate the sim to b able to check all the info on the phone, which scarez me more
ow by the way the radio 38 any good?

Seems ok yer, My 3G and GSM are both still very good (most improvment was from 1.27, the radios since have all been very good). My main reason for upgrading to 1.38.00.10 was that the GPS chip is a dead end, so i figured having a radio that isnt capable of turning it on will remove that headache if it goes wrong, and also my previous radio (1.35.00.11) was a trinity radio and the new one is a hermes radio, better all round
lol I am a retard,
clicked the wrong filename.. installed the 35.00.11 instead of the 38.00.11
will keep the forum updated bout it...
thx man
Hi I Need Your Help To Unlock My Phone T-mobile Dash
Had you done some basic research you would have found that there is no "free" solution out there.
You can use iemi-check for $38, or there is a member here (whose name is slipping my mind -- I appologize) who does it for cheaper.
If you have tmobile for more than 90 days, just call tech support and ask them for the unlock code (for free).
yea...the only free way is just call them. they emailed my code 2 days later. just make sure you acount is all paid up and you have maintained service (with no missed payments) for over 90 days as stated above

What type of lock are you referring to? The guys above are referring to a SIM unlock, but there are two other types as well...
CID unlock- Is required to operate software/operating systems of other carriers on your device; this can be costly through imei-check, but you can get around this by using CID bypass software such as JumpSPL or Haret.exe (it'll bypass the CID lock and allow you to install whatever ROM you desire)
Application unlock- Is required to operate unsigned 3rd party application software on your device; software such as SDA app unlock or SurrealNetworksApplicationUnlock works great

In my experience -- people who don't specify what type of unlock are generally looking for SIM unlocking. But you are correct -- never assume anything
u know its sad they keep saying there is no free way to unlock the imei ok maybe im asking the wrong question how do the pay sites do it . maybe its not free but i am sure its cheaper and say say its not free well what are they doing who are they paying i guess the question is how are they getting the code
hi giuys like the header says i would like to sim lock my phone... what i mean is that i want my phone to work only with my sim... i've tried to search on the forum for it but with no results... can you help me???
thanks in advance
hi. first of all, if your phone is sim locked, it not gonna work only with your sim but with every sim card of your network ( vodafone in your case); secondly i've never heard about something or somehow to sim-lock again a phone!!! ask Olinex, may be he knows!!! good luck
i didn't mean the general sim-lock like the branded phones have i mean maybe a lite app that runs when you start the phone and blocks you from using the phone if there is no sim or it isn'tt the sim you've previously registered...
aahhh okayyyy, you mean something like the nokia's phone locking if the sim is changed! i've understood now! i was looking for it me too but i've never found a bit! we'll stay in touch, if i find something intresting i'll tell you ciao

I got what you need but it is shareware [you have to pay for it].
It is for Wm 5 but i think that it will support higher too.
Did you search on google?
Here is the link: [click].
I searched for the "cra**ed" version but all links are dead or fake.
hi thanks for the reply guys
if you can use password protection why bother such thing!!!
okay, password may be broken by software, but same thing for any kind of security also.
anyway, a program can be written such as:
small memory residence program which will check the sim nr. in every few min.
if not matched, will enter into Airport Mode + screen lock
keep checking every few min.
if it matched the nr. stored before (encrypted) will unlock airport mode+screen
or the program will only trigger at the stratup or sim change
hey, new to the site and new to the wildfire and im already having a few problems.
i just bought mines off my uncle, who always used it on o2-ire without any problems. he never used any uk simcard because he thought the fone was locked.
i tried my simcard and it says "your simcard does not allow connect to this network" or "error while searching for network". as it wouldnt find a network i figured it was locked, so i went and bought an unlock code.
problem is, i cant find where to put it. i turn the fone on with a simcard (ive tried a few on different networks), and it never asks me for the code, yet it still cant find a network.
ive tried my girlfriends mothers o2-ireland and that still works.
just wondering why it works for o2-ireland and not on my o2-uk or vodafone-uk and doesnt ask for the network unlock code.
sorry if this seems jumbled and rambeling, im just trying to explain everything.
thanks in advance for any help.
Get a different carrier similar card. Not the ones you have been using. Put it in and boot the phone, it should come up with a screen telling you to input the code to unlock. Some Sims just don't give you the screen
Try a 3 sim if you can.
sent from my android powered beast!
crap, everyone i know is o2. ill ask about, ill see if someone has a different sim network, i think my girlfriends sister is vodafone-ireland, i could try that and see. thanks for the fast reply, ill give it a shot
Hello,
I've bought an unlcoked Galaxy Nexus about 6 months ago, and everything worked perfectly.. until now.
Recently, I've had problems regarding the SIM Unlock PIN.
When I turn on my device, it requires a code.
I can choose to ignore that message and use my phone in any other way but using mobile network (can't text or call).
From what I understand, my phone has been locked to a specific network and I need to get the code to unlock it.
But I have no idea which network my phone is locked to..
Is there any way to find out?
Also, this has happend before, and I, who don't know what to do with it, took it to a guy who fixed it for me (He changed the Android version and did whatever he did.. I have no idea.)
Last night my phone ran out of battery, and today when I charged and opened it, it was locked again.
I don't know what caused it.
Is there any way to remove it permanently?
If not, can anyone help me remove it temporarily without paying too much money to websites I don't trust (Which require to know the network my phone is locked to, by the way...)?
My friend said that when the Android version changes, so does the code.
My currently Android version is 4.1.1 and I can choose to update it. Would it help?
Thank you, to whoever is willing to try and help me.
Is your phone have a GSM sim card??
Yes, I do.
Help anyone..?
