Friendly Verizon customer? I need your help!! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi,
I have purchased a Verizon Locked Motorola Droid Pro on a famous auction site and had it shipped back to me in the UK.
Unfortunately due to Verizon's crafty intervention I cannot purchase a valid unlock code online. The code must be supplied to an active Verizon account holder.
I am hoping that there might be a friendly Verizon customer that might be able to assist?? I am happy to make a suitable payee pall donation....
Please get in touch if you think you could help?? I can supply the (clean) I M E I number which should be all the info required.
Thanks in advance all you helpful people!!

for unlock the MDA pro

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!

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.

This is the phone number to unlock the MDA PRO
0049 (0) 180 5 3301602 from Italia

All in one SIM unlock tool for now does not work with Universal
Yes, do not function with universal.

HTC Desire FCC Id - ordering from usa

hello all,
I am in US and I am planning to order htc desire from uk website. Some one told me that while shipping any handset to US, FCC id of the device needs to be
provided to the courier company. I searched in google for fcc id but no use. I would really appreciate if any one provide me the id.
Thanks in advance
Two things you might want to look at filings under Bravo. I think that was one of the orignal code names. Also I donot think a version from Europe will give you 3G in the states. I know it will not on AT&T.
sorry i forgot to mention i will be using it on Asian 3g networks.

There probably isn't one - since the Desire is not designed for the US market, I doubt that it has been sent to the FCC for certification.
Note that the Verizon Droid Eris was previously codenamed the Desire, and that was passed by the FCC so searching for the Desire will almost certainly give you the FCC id for the wrong device.
Regards,
Dave
if it does, it may appear as the PB99200, the nexus is the PB99100
although i am not sure that it has FCC clearance as it is not intended for sale in the US.

For the purposes of shipping to the US, if the carrier requires the FCC number (which just seems unlikely to me if you're buying from the UK), I'd be inclined to just put down the Nexus FCC ID as RHedgehog has quoted here.
It does seem a rather pointless requirement though if you are importing a single unit for personal use and not to resell. After all, I've never been stopped by US customs when I fly into the US for bringing in my personal phones which also don't have FCC certification.
Regard,
Dave

[Q] Unlocking MDA Compact V (T-mobile UK)

Hi all,
I've spent hours trawling through this forum and the internet in general, trying to see if there's a way to (sim) unlock my MDA Compact V that's currently locked to T-Mobile UK. I've now come to the point where I'm thinking I'm going to need to extend my short arms into my deep pockets and pay for the service I'm quite happy to do this, but would someone be kind enough to recommend the best way to go about this? Google brings up so many, "Pay us xxx, give us the IMEI and we'll send you the code" - do these work? Can they be trusted?
As I say, I'm happy to pay for the service but would like to guarantee that I'll only need to pay the once...
Appreciate all who read this and anyone that can help

Touch Pro 2 - Is it possible to unlock this phone?

Hi there, I have had my touch pro 2 for around 2 years now and have always loved the phone and bought it on contract from vodafone in the UK and live in England - Leeds and was just wondering if I could unlock this phone either for free or by paying? I dont mind paying if thats what I need to do but free would be nice also.
If I can do it for free can you possibly tell me how?
And if not, then can you give me a legitimate website where I can purchase an unlock code from for a cheap price?
Thanks in advance.
you can just search this site for " hard-spl" for RHODIUM or TOUCH PRO 2..
Also do a search for "task 29"
are you talking about sim unlocking and witch version phone do you have
You should also check Oli's thread you may be able to find what u need there
i also have a vodafone uk tp2 and to my pleasant surprise found it to be already unlocked when i tried an o2 sim.have you tried another sim card.
