o2 cant unlock the bootloader as its sim locked. you will need to have a look here:

or try a local unlocking shop.

Hi,
i've a TSM500 (spanish version of XDA2 from movistar carrier). I try to unlock it following the faq but when i run the program i got the following messages:
------------------
Communication port opened
waiting for radio bootloader
reading first block...
reading second block...
the phone seems unlocked already!
-----------------
(see attached)
but the phone is locked, because when i try to use it with another sim card (vodafone for ex.) a popup asking me for the code is shown
some ideas?
thanks in advance
I have exactly the same problem
Orange sim card is requesting code??????????
Please help!
Isn't this the sim code and nothing to do with unlocking fault of your phone? For example the standar 0000 code???
i ve ot a same problem

when could we unlock ours xda2 movistar¿
****ing again !

Jubey, what was that again?
Hi
I had the same problem
here is what i did
go here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963]
down load this xda2unlock.exe
put the downloaded file on you phone and run from there there is no need to go into bootloader mode
and that was it my orange card that was locked was now ok
I am on Rom 1.60.00 wwe which is dated 12/03/03 this might make a difference

UNLOCKING WORKED - Thanks - And I love you all!
The Unblock program for the xda2, posted above really works. I love you guys for making this available to all.
Cant Unlock
Hi
I have a new XDA II - with :
Rom = 1.60.00WWE
Radio = 1.10.00
ExtROM = 1.60.50
I cant :shock: unlock it. If I try the older Bootloader method it says that it is unlocked already. If I try the newer version it says that it succeds but the phone app automatically starts and says the the SIM card is invalid.
Some questions:
Should the Blocked Sim be in the phone at the time?
Should Flight mode be on or off when you start?
Would having a very old Vodaphone Sim card make a difference?
Thanks in advance
JB

This is not what a locked phone does. A locked phone pops up a box for you to enter the unlocking code.

Not sure as I never had a locked phone myself. I will test this.

It should be off the phone should be on.

Yes, I don't think 5 volt cards are supported. Try a SIM that is known to work in the XDA. To make sure you are solving the real problem.
Unlocking XDA II
Thanks for the response.
I have tried a Virgin (T-Mobile) card and it works fine
I have ordered a new Vodaphone SIM - My card dated back to 1998 - It was originally a Credit Card Sized one, with no pop out - so I cut it out!
XDAII is great though - we use Messenger a lot here for contacting clients, I was sitting in the sun today, replying to custards and their problems - if anyone out there hasnt got one and is thinking of it - get it now!!

please upload the file again for me. the link above not working, thank you:angel:

First I would contact your cell phone provider, Rogers, and tell them you are leaving the country and would like to have your phones sim unlocked. If they are decent and you have been current on your payments they should give you the code. When you get the code insert the Vodafone sim and when it asks for sim unlock code enter in the code they give you, and then if everything works. BAM you will be sim unlocked. The bootloader will still be locked, that is something completely different then the sim lock.

Rogers don't want to give the code because i use the phone with Chat-r (subdivision of rogers).
Like I'm new in androids phones i want to understand how many different issues i have (like if i unlock the boot loader is gone a be a simlock free also?, etc) Is any free software to give the simlock code?
thanks

thanks

He will unlock your bootloader and your sim at the same time for $24US. It's worth it. Rogers, if they even give you the code, will charge you like $50 AND make you wait 2-3 months.
Jinx13 will have it done in under 30 minutes if things go smoothly.
