Hi All,
Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
I bought an XDA IIs on the UK O2 network a few days ago.
I am trying to unlock it so that I can use it in India with an Airtel SIM, for both normal tel calls and GPRS data needs.
I bought an unlocking package, but unfortunately the company's support is not available.
It suggested that I first put it into bootloader mode, before installing some software. I followed the instruction of pressing on/off + action button + reset, but it did not go into the bootloader mode. Any ideas?
I then tried to install the XDA II unlock software, but that falled too.
Can anyone help me?
Have you tried asking O2 for an unlock code, they gave me one for my XDA when I had one.
Let us know how you get on as I might need to unlock my IIs at some point
I recently bought a Incredible 2 for use overseas and wanted to confirm some things/had some questions:
1: According to the seller the phone has never been used/activated (Verizon seems to confirm this). As I do not want to activate it on Verizon, can I just buy an unlock code to unlock the SIM, bypass the activation screen and use the code? So far, googling doesn't seem to be telling me otherwise, but I wanted to check.
2: I was looking around on the threads on how to update without being on Verizon's network and just wanted to make sure I would be able to do so as well with an unactivated phone. (The activation screen isn't going to pop up and interfere with the process or anything?)
2b: It looks like there's two methods of updating with the official updates: through a PC if it's an exe or through the phone itself it it's a zip. Would I need anything else installed on the PC if I go with that method or is it just a matter of connect the phone (does it need to be in mass storage mode?) and run the exe? And which one would be easier for someone who has never done this before?
Thanks!
Hi, and firstly, thanks to any and all who offer their knowledge to assist my conundrum.
I recently purchased a Bell Canada version of the SG Note 2 (i317), I am on Telus so I attempted to Unlock the phone. I looked online and found people were having success unlocking these phones for free using the *#197327640# method, (whereby you go into the service mode, turn off the PERSHO_256 and then INITIALLIZ).
I tried this method and the phone then seemed to work with my telus sim, but only for voice, not data. When I put in a Bell SIM from a friend, both voice and data worked fine - which tells me its not a hardware (radio) issue. I also tried using another friends Telus SIM and had the same results as mine - which tells me it's not a SIM error. Also, all the settings in the mobile network area appeared to be correctly set up.
So, my next step was to try and reflash the phone to the stock Bell ROM and then just buy an Unlock code. I downloaded the stock ROM (2 different ones actually) and used Odin 3.07 to reload the ROM. I've tried it several times now, with both Bell ROMs and each time it says it's been successful, but the phone remains in the same, partially unlocked state.
It seems as though by using the PERSHO_256 method I have permanently, PARTIALLY unlocked the phone. I can't seem to re-lock it by installing the stock Bell ROM, and since it's unlocked, I can't get the foreign SIM error to come up to enable me to put in my purchased unlock code.
If anyone has any insights, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

did you check and/or setup the apn? it may be just the apn is not set correctly or you have to manually input hte apn
sounds like just APN needs setting...
APN?
How would I check/setup the APN? Is this to allow me to do a full reflash to a stock ROM or to access data with the phone in it's current state?
left ownsho
So I went into ACCES POINT NAMES and checked the sp.telus.net box, no change. Did a restart. No change Any ideas?
Wooooo Hooooo!!!
So, it's working now!!! I dug a little deeper and found the correct APN settings for TELUS. NOW IT F*@^&#*&@ING WORKS!
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!!!
Hi there
My DHD was originally locked on Orange UK.
I managed to Unlock (S ON) my HTC desire HD through it's Dev as the Ace kit has stopped working. I also installed a custom ROM (AOSPX 4.0.4) by flashing the boot image to the sd card.
I've changed the SIM to 3G and restarted the phone and wrote the unlocking code – network unlocked successfully.
Everything works fine (Wi-Fi) except the mobile network. (Error when searching for mobile network) Tried #*#*4636#*#* by switching off radio and when switching back on again it will ask me for the network unlocking code.
Also, when you restart the phone and on logging it will ask for the network unlocking code again and on every restart.
I've searched all over but did not find anything useful that relates to my problem. From what I read it could be the radio that needs flashing. Is there anyone out there that had this problem and how it can be resolved.
Any advice or link with relevant discussion will be highly appreciated.
Thank a million!
Hey guys I'm new here and found this site. Wondering if you guys can help me.
I recently bought ROG phone 6 on ebay (AI2201) i got 4g connection and after few minutes my internet went dark. I check the firmware WW_phone-32.2810.2206.95-0
I also unlock it using the tool from the asus web and still have issues. If anyone of you can help me out I would really appreciate it.
First of all I would try a Factory reset (backup data before it).
Second, why did you unlocked the bootloader? For the connection fix? I'd suggest to flash last raw update, but it will lock your bootloader.
