hi,
this afternoon, i finally get a network code for my p552.
unfortunately, my operator support (orange) doesn't have a valid procedure to set the unlocking code...
First problem, the length of the code which is 10 in my case and 8 within the procedure...
Then, when i try another simcard from another network, if i set my pincode, nothing happens, except i don't have any network connexion available (which is normal, as my phone is locked on orange network)...i hoped a popup or something would give me access to a form to enter the unlocking code.
I think there is a way to enter the code with a special manufacturer code like *#12345678#unlock_code# (or something like that....)
So, if anybody here has already unlock an Asus mobile phone (not especially the p552), it will be very nice to give me a procedure so i can test it on my phone with my own unlock_code.
Thanks.
edit : in fact, the "enter unlock code" screen does not show up...And i really don't understand why.

To unlock the p552 (orange network) you have to do the following :
1. Power ON your phone with a not allowed sim card (one that didn't come with the phone)
2. Type *#865625#SIMUNLOCK CODE (provided by your operator) - without clicking on the "call button".
3. A popup will appear telling you it's done.
And now, to fully take advantage of your new simcard :
wait some moments
OR switch to plane mode and to phone mode again, type your pincode
...And it works!
bump.
If anybody knows.
Where to you to throw a file?
I don't understand... You want to send me a file?
Do you unlocked your phone or what?
if you read carefully my post, you'll understand that i don't have any instruction from my provider to do it. I've got the unlock code, that's all.

And you can't go to the shop and ask for the instructions?
Because instructions provided by both stores and customer services are erroneous...
Everyone who owns this phone, experience the same problem, and there is no known solution right now as technical services from orange are not qualified enough to solve it and guys from asus support won't help us as orange is the official distributor.
In short, right now, we're screwed.
Bump for justice \o/
See first post to get correct instructions.
thx very much for your help

Who can provide unlock code for Asus p552 locked from orange uk?
Super condensed prologue:
UK T-Mobile HTC Hero bought from ebay
Unlocked via an IMEI generated code (i.e not serial cable method)
Worked fine for 3 months
Sudden onset of 'No Service' and 'sim cannot connect to this network
The battle:
Use CheckMEND to find status of IMEI
It's bloody blacklisted! (Seller is conducting insurance fraud...)
Contact T-mobile - they confirm there are many problems with the IMEI
Contact the seller - no help
Explain to seller I have figured out his full name, address, phone number and that I now know his wife was recently prosecuted for benefit fraud (she is actually the registered seller)
He tells me he will call later
No call - I call him, he says I won't get my money back
The uplifting moment:
I call Tmobile - they have now removed the blacklist
The seller must have informed Tmobile that it wasn't really lost
The crash:
The blacklist seems to have modified the handset so it's locked to Tmobile again.
T-mobile SIMs work.
All other report No Service.
Also, going into the test mode (VOL DOWN + PWR ON) I find that the SIMLOCK status now reports FILE OPEN FAILED!
Quest?:
I will fix this problem....
I've already:
Made a gold card
Flashed Generic latest ROM
Does anyone know how to re-flash the SIMLOCK area - even to default would help?
Would running the CID commands through a serial cable help?
To note: Now rooted with instant root. Will try and flash a recovery image and see what happens.
[METHOD] (source forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4750940&postcount=4 - edited a live download location for Instant Root)
I first followed the instructions on making a goldcard and then flashed the 2.73.405.5 WWE rom fine.
Now make sure you have the cm-hero-recovery.img (content.modaco.net/dropzone/m...covery-1.0.zip) on the root of your sdcard.
Aswell as Instant Root (tecnophone.it/wp-content/uploads/Instant-Root-by-tecnophone.zip) now install Instant Root on the phone.
It should pop up with a notification "instant root was successfully" or along those lines. (If you have a problem installing Instant Root make sure Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources is checked)
Instant root then allows for root access with adb shell using the following 2 commands:
1) adb shell
then
2) su
the icon should change from a $ to #.
Now flash the recovery image with the following command:
1) flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
[/METHOD]
If flashing fails I'll try doing this with serial commands. I've seen a few people about the net with similar issues so hopefully if I am successful!
Just some extra info...
The handset may not be locked back to t-mobile as you cant lock a handset OTA, T-mobile are the only UK network that can actually amend the blacklist for other networks as its owned by T-mobile. When a csa/csr what ever they call them, removes the blacklist it removes it from T-mobile only as the assumption is you should not remove another networks blacklist request. If you are not the original owner of the handset and some CSR has removed they they have made a mistake (you bonus) but if it was not originally blacklisted by t-mobile the other networks will stay dead to it..
Thanks for the reply.
I called o2 who say it is not blacklisted on their system.
Hmmm, I'm not sure where I am left...
It works on T-mobile. but not other network.
It doesn't ask for an unlock code - Is there another lock somewhere?
I have just remembered the name of the system "Dali" if you speak to a team manager and say you have been told you need the blacklist removing from it if its still on..
If its not showing on that then it must be a handset issue..

It is definately no longer blacklisted - meaning it's handset.
So this could be coincidental timing? I have a copy of the CheckMEND report saying it had been blacklisted.
Are we sure that T-mob cannot do something OTA?
Is there any way to restore the simlock data to default - I.e. relock it so I can re-enter my unlock code?
Im not sure about re locking it tbh, good luck!!

Is there anyone who can help my poor HTC Hero!
instead of using the gold card way to get the recover image use http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/ if you havent already got it on, then put generic rom on and re try,, just an idea its how i flashed mine with new roms, never used a gold card

I've got the patched recovery image on now - using gold card.
Could you do me a favour and do the following and post results for comparison:
Turn phone on holding VOL DOWN + POWER
Then goto Fastboot
Then press CALL to do the SIMLOCK test
I get:
--
FAT32 Init Ok
Open File Fail
---
Your result may really help guide my research&testing here!
I also just thought - would one of those Rebel Sim Cards get round this?!
I have just ordered an unlock code on ebay to help you test as mine is t-mobile uk also,
Fat32 Init OK
Open File Fail
Reboot device?
is what i got!!

Could any people who are unlocked please post a response?!

If the phone is locked when you put another sim with another nck code it will auto appear, have you tried another rom like mrbang;s?
Some details from an Dutch Retail unlocked phone.
So never had an simlock:

FAT32 Init OK
Open File Fail
Reboot device?
<MENU> Reset Device

all roms i used are stock updates, bought 8 days ago

I have a Hero (G2) which was on T-Mobile but was unlocked with a code from eBay.
Just tried the simlock test and get the same result as everyone else...
Code:
Fast32 Init OK
Open File Fail
Reboot device?
I'm using a custom ROM but is based on a stock one.
I have an unlocked phone and I also get the same output regarding simlock.
(not rooted, stock rom)
HI all, first of all thanks to everyone because the posts on this website have been helpful to a new HTC Desire owner!
Unfortunately I have come across a problem that most people experience when replacing the ROM on their Orange Desires.
I created a gold card fine.
I downloaded and installed this file: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.exe which I felt was almost too easy as my Desire rebooted and worked straight away with a non Orange-branded ROM which I loved.
Then a prompt to download an over-the-air upgrade came up which I accepted.
After the install and reboot my phone was locked which I expected.
I went to HTCSimUnlock as I wanted the phone unlocked anyway and entered my IMEI etc and they refunded and replied to say code not found.
I sent the same code to an eBay company - exactly the same thing, I sent it to another eBay company - code not found.
I thought maybe I'd stupidly typed the IMEI wrong but I triple checked it and it was 100% correct.
I am now a bit worried about what to do to fix this and would be extremely greatful if someone could give me a hand sorting it out.
Thanks in advance,
RandomOtter
Have you spoke to orange and asked them to unlock the phone (i think it costs £20)? They should be able to unlock it, if they cant i suggest you complain to them as any other network will say speak to your phone provider.
Hi there, thanks for your suggestion. I just called Orange who said it will take 15 days for it to come through as they need to send the request to the phone manufacturer! I can't really wait 15 days as my other contract is set to cancel in just under a week so I will not be able to make or receive calls on either number.
Are there any other suggestions?
Is there any reason those unlock companies would not have been able to find my code?
You need to root it and downgrade your radio...
Edit: I'll explain in a bit more detail. Radio_32.30.00.28U _4.05.00.11 is the baseband (radio) you will see in the about phone menu on your phone. On Orange handsets if you upgrade away from this baseband, it sim locks the phone.
So instead of paying for an unlock code, all you need to do is follow the guide to root the handset then download and install the radio listed in the development section.

Thanks for the reply.
In the root guide it says "for bootloader version..." how do I find out my bootloader version?
Aplogies, I started up with the back button pressed and found out it is version 0.80.
How can I make a gold card if the device isn't actually booting up fully? I just get:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

I also was looking for it ....
Greetings;
As far as i know there is 2 ways to unlock it.
1) (Paid) Get a online service (Ebay for Example); nearby store or your service provider to do it.
2) Search Google for a Software called "QCOM" (I don't remember the exact name)
I've downloaded several versions; tried hard to get this software working; but with no luck.
Also; seems like unbranding this device won't work.
this QCOM or OMAP is a cracked software of furious box, i have this box, but without OMAP software activated. who have this box with activated pack of this soft, can unlock this phone.
br
So what you mean is that it is necessary to have the "box" and to activate the software Right?
Well, after reading this post i've done another attempt.
The instructions don't mention anything about the pack; or activation.
Only:
"ACER S100 Liquid/LiquidE E310 Liquid Mini UNLOCKING GUIDE
NOTE: HOW TO INSTALL DRIVERS AND UNLOCK
1. PRESS VOLUME DOWN + CAMERA AND INSERT USB CABLE FOR S100
2. FOR E310 CONNECT PHONE IN NORMAL MODE
3. DOWNLOAD AcerLiquidDrivers.zip / Driver_E310.rar FROM SUPPORT AND INSTALL
4. START AMDO AND PRESS UNLOCK "
After opening AMDO; i get a message saying: "there are no card readers".
I guess that's the reason it doesn't work
br
yes furious box with activated pack 5 http://www.furiousgold.com/ me i have this box with only pack1, 2, and 3. not the 5.
Well, it's quite expensive to unlock my device only.
It's not that i need it atm, i was trying more to know how to do it.
I guess the best option is to take the device to Service Provider or a Store which does such service.
Thanks;
BR
of course, you can't buy the box to unlock your phonr only, i have this box and many boxes cause it's my job
i can unlock this phone, send me pm if interested
thanks for the info
Also looking for way to unlock an E310 locked by French Telco SFR (on RedBySfr),
I updated fimware to latest ACER release, and rooted it, then what ?
Dear XDA community
I recently bought a LG G4 from an online retailer. According to their website they said it was a UK model, which according to the back of the phone beneath the battery it is: LGH815. But then after booting the phone the ROM being used was: LGH815T. Then I typed in the IMEI number and found out it was a: Verizon US model??
Basically I am having trouble identifying my model. The phone apparently came unlocked and rooted, but the person who sent it must have done something wrong because when I flashed a TWRP recovery image to the phone it comes up saying: secure boot error code: 1002.
The good thing is, is that I can boot into the device and still operate it as per usual. But what I want to do is bring the recovery back to normal. I was searching around and apparently there are some KDZ files that can be used just to flash the recovery? Is this correct? If so could you assist me in what I have to do to fix my issue which is: secure boot error 1002.
I would really appreciate any help regarding the matter. :crying:
Tried posting photos, but forum would not let me, all they showed was the model numbers.

Use LGUP-NEW ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 ) to install/flash ... the appropriate stock KDZ for your specific model once you ascertain it (LGUP - NEW may recognize your model and you can use that info to find the right KDZ). You will have to re-root the phone if you still wish to have root.
If you do root, suggest you might want to check out steadfasterX's [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all locked G4 devices at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
It has been tested on locked devices AND unlocked devices. Version 3 Beta 4 and 5 seem very stable and the links are available in the later posts on the site. It works like a charm and has been tested on a quite a number of devices now.
Addendum: I'm wondering if the online retailer may have meant it was carrier unlocked (i.e., so you could use other service provider's sim cards), not bootloader unlocked? That could account for the secure boot error getting TWRP to load.
