Hello all,
I'm from Romania and I'm seriously considering buying a Typhoon (here sold as SPV C500) phone. Trouble is, I don't want to use it in the Orange network, so it must be unlocked. So far I was unable to find a free unlocker for this phone. There are some guys that offer unlocking services (for example http://www.imei-check.co.uk/) and they seem to work, as far as I read, but I'm really interested if there is a way to unlock this phone for free.
Thank you for your help,
Bogdan M.
I mailed to T-mobile for unlock my MDA PRO the mailed me a link to visit:
http://www.t-mobile.de/simlock/1,9645,13846-_,00.html
What do you think? :?:
Any chance of you translating it to english?
Nothing to see here
It says essentially: Insert a foreign SIM-card, enter the 8-digit unlock code (which you have to buy from us), soft-reset, and you're ready. However, you get the lock only after 24 months if you got the phone together with a T-Mobile contract.
I phoned T-Mobile today (In the UK) and was told that once I've had the phone 1 month, if I call them, for a small fee (£15) they will issue me the unlock code!
same for me as well. T-Mobile uk will unlock the phone after one month. Although funnily enough they unlocked my MDA III straight away.
I did ask why u had to wait a month, and they said it was just company policy :roll:
i received the code but its a 10 digit code can any one help t-mobile sent me to contract htc and htc said go to t-mobile
unlock?
Anyone found a way to unlock the mda pro already? all i hear is that people are working on it LOL
imei-check.com is also working on it.. but 2 weeks later still no sound.

MDA Pro unlocking
Hi everybody! I received my MDA Pro from Germany today, and it's sim-locked to th German T-mobile. I thought it would work with my local T-mob card, but it doesn't! :evil:
So I need to unlock it somehow. T-mob Ger does it for 100 EUR, which is a bit hefty, but seemded like the only choice so far. I asked the guy I bough the device from to send me the purchase receipt.
Since I'll probably soon void my warranty anyway (i.e. do the rom upgrade), I would prefer any less expensive method. Also, I don't really speak German, so getting the unlcok code from the German T-mob by phone would be a challenge anyway.
Now I read here that T-mob UK is more friendly i terms of unlocking. Do you think they would do my device, or they only do local machines? Do they check the IMEI?
Any help would be appreciated on this. Thanks!
ewhh
i did try the UK tmobile office. But you HAVE to have a tmobile contract in the UK.
So i found a mate in london who had that, he called and tmobile uk said it would take 28 days, also i am sure after they take off the 15 pounds it costs they will say sorry the imei is not from a phone you bought yourself with your tmobile contract.
Holland wont do it because they check imei too.. if it is not a dutch imei code they wont do it.
I am waiting desperately for a solution and would even pay 50 pounds if someone would unlock my tmobile mda pro.
I just hope imei-check comes with a solution before xmass LOL

The thing is, I didn't buy it in a shop, but from a guy in Germany. When he sends me the receipt (as he had promised to), I will find out how it was purchased. Chances are, of course, that it was a prolongation of a contract or something like that... :roll:
If not, I will certainly try to manage the unlocking with T-mob Ger, but without speaking German, this might be difficult.
@dvl:
Thanks for the info, looks like Britain is a dead end too. Rats. Now my only hope is imei-check. I unlocked an MDA III for a guy there once. It was quite simple and quick even with all the id verification business. I guess I wouldn't have to go through with that again. :lol:
Everyone pls keep us posted on possible unlocking methods!

I don't speak german either -... you have to try until you get an english speaker operator (I got it on second attempt). I hope that yours was bought without a contract.
Good luck.
imei-check does it
Update: I saw today that imei-check now offers unlocking for the Universal. However, it's only available as a mail-in sevice, and it's bloody expensive: 50 GBP in the UK, a lot more anywhere else (due to shipping). All this, plus you have to get it to them too... :roll:
This is not really any help for ppl outside the UK, and I read here that you can get an unlocking code there for 15 GBP from the provider, so this is not such great news.
Still, I wanted to let you know. :idea:
I will stick to the 99 EUR official unlocking from T-mob, especially since the guy who sold me the device offered to pay half of it and to get the code from T-mob. Yay!
How to get the unlock code from T-mobile Germany
Any BUSINESS Customer with a GSM Contract of T-Mobile Germany gets the unlock code for any MDA PRO within a couple of hour via e-mail for free.
If you can find a helpful guy who is (in this forum?!?!), he may help you out by asking T-Mobile Germany for the unlock code with your IMEI number.
Good luck

I don't know any business customers at the German T-mob, so I got my code - yesterday - through the guy who originally bought the device (with a contract). He also paid half the unlocking cost!

Hi,
just a questions....after the unlocking via the unlock code from the provider, if the phone will be upgraded or unbranded (for example I would like to leave out the T-Mobile customization and change the phone software with the usual I-Mate JASJAR) maybe can it have some problems with the unlocking code?
I hope that it will not be modified
Thanks for any replies.

Anyone up for purchasing it? I'd do it, but I'm unable to, as I live in the USA. I'll even reimburse someone if they purchase it and provide me with proof that they did.
Who knows? This might actually work. Or does anyone have any feedback regarding it?
I would try it, but I am not in UK
I am very confident that this is just the unlock all tool stolen from here. Or even worse, it could be NOTHING since O2 don't lock their devices and it only mentions O2 stuff...
Gut feeling: It's a con.
That's very much possible.. but at the same time, there is a slight chance that the program is legit. The seller has another auction up for the software, if anyone is willing to try it. If you do try it, let us know if it works!

note; I have tried this unlocking in my spv m5000 from orange and no luck, I think is just trying to make few quid from eBay and see if any of this unlocking tools work for anyone!!
Hello,
i've got a problem with my t-mobile dash/mail and it isn't even here know
At first I've to say that i'm a schoolboy from germany so my english isn't perfect yet
Yesterday i bought an mda mail (the german version of the dash) for 80€ on ebay. It's brand new, so I'm quiete happy und lucky.
Thats the good thing. The bad is: It's nelocked on T-mobile. The main reason for which i bought the mda mail is that i wan't to go on the internet and use msn pocket. In Germany, t-mobile doesn't offer any good conditions but e-plus does. That's why I want to use an eplus Simcard.
Can you guys give me any clues to unlock my mda mail? I already read some topics on this board but i've already found some threads but i think most of the tipps aren't usefull for my german mda mail.
Of course i would prefer a free solution but i don't think that that is realistic. I just don't want to pay 100€ to t-mobile
So pleaseee help me

how about i trade you my unlocked t-mobile dash
i really like the look of the full black housing of the t-mobile mda.
can you give me a link ot the phone you purchased on ebay. i cant find them anywhere.
the only threads ive seen about unlocking are around here. i belive they should be useful even if its an german mda mail but hey my offer is till up for a trade
Well, normaly i would trade my mda mail on you but you life in america and i in germany. We would have to pay taxes and so on.
But this is how you can get an total black mda:
1) visit ebay.de
2) type in mda mail
3) switch to "smartphones" at the left side
4) Check the offers and write some friendly email. Please also mention why yout want to buy the mda (because many people from other countries betray on german ebay)
Wait a few weaks.
back to topic:
So there is no free solution? Can anybody calculate the key (except for tmobile)? How much is the unlock usually?
generally its about 30-50USD...so whatever that comes out to be in Germany Im not sure, but it IS worth the money to get it done, it will cost alot of course to get it up and running, but it increases the re-sell value of the phone tremendously, so when you upgrade to a new phone in a couple o' years, you can sell it as "unlocked" and get anywhere from 20-30% more for it just because of that!
'a couple of years' good joke I use to change my phones all two months
Do i get an unlockcode or do i have to unlock my phone with a software?
most of the times you just get a code, but in VERY rare occasions they will give you a program...which if that is the case, you MUST upload it to the forum here....share the love my man!!! No but seriously, if it does come with a program, you really should hold onto it and upload it somehwere, it would make MANY phone users VERY happy!
all right... Does someone on this board sells codes? I think 50$ are a lot for a few numbers
yup, you need to PM a member called "jwocky2001" he sells unlock codes for 25USD a piece ussually
sure the name is "jwockey2001"? Can't find him with the search engine...

thanks for the info on searching for the phone.
the main reason why i want that one is that it is full black. seems like a dumb reason but i like the way it looks.
maybe ill just look there for a black housing.
gah, sorry, its-jockyw2001...had it backwards heh
Hello guys i just purchased from ebay a p6500 from orange UK. Does anybody know if it is locked in orange network and if so how will i unlock it? (i havent received it yet propably tommorow) also why there is not any p6500 section in our forum since the device is already out in the market? sorry for my bad english.
Anybody???? Help!!!
Nobody knows something?
Dont know whether yours will be locked or not but probably is.
As for the seperate discussion forum there have been a number of requests but I guess as this is targetted more at vertical markets than consumers the guys aren't too bothered.
I agree with you my friend but i think xda developers site since the begining is supporting all htc devices in the market and its quite strange why the p6500 hasnt a thread in this site. I bought this phone even thought i have a touch cruise and i want it for every day usage and not for my work. I hope a thread will be made soon and i will be very happy to help by dumping my rom to the missing polaris and kaiser drivers project.
Well sim unlock maby imposiblle.........cid unlock anybody know how to get rid of the orange brand and put the original htc rom? Im willing to donate to anybody that helps me!!!€
I've also got a sim-locked orange UK P6500 that I would like to use on other networks. Help would be greatly appreciated.
