Unlocking MDA III

I Ordered MDAIII from T-Mobile , I didnt get yet but can some one help me with unlocking this phone . Is it posible to unlock this phone to use other GSM Networks. Will unlocking of extended ROM do the trick which I found in some other topic in this forum .
10x in advanced

Should come unlocked but it will be in German.

I got the MDAIII on T-Mobile in the UK and had to pay £15 for them to give me an unlock code.

AAARGGHHHH! - Unlocking T-Mobile (UK) MDA III Sim
Bought this device earlier this month. Can anyone help provide the unlocking sequence cause T-Mobile certainly can't! They say they can provide the unlocking code (eventually) but not the sequence, and to get it I have to contact the device manufacturer! I`m travelling to the USA in 1 weeks time and want to use a T-Mobile USA SIM card whilst there. :x

What do you mean by sequence.
T-Mobile gave me an unlock code - I put my O2 SIM card into the MDAIII and it asked for the unlock code - I entered it. It is now unlocked and works with my O2 SIM

Hmmm, never having unlocked a SIM card before I am going by T-Mobile's advice that there is a specific sequence of key stroke entries that need to be followed before I get to the screen that asks for the code. From what you say it might be no more difficult than taking out the UK SIM card, replacing it with the USA SIM card, a screen appears asking for the unlock code which I enter, and hey presto - job done!
Have I read this right? Is this all you do?

Yes, you are right. It is as simple as that.

MDAIII unlock code availability
Who or where at T-Mobile UK can a SIM unlock code be purchased for 15 pounds? I just got my MDAIII from the Oxford Street retail store but need to use it in areas overseas without T-Mobile service.
Thanks...

I telephoned CS and they gave me the unlock code

italian Rom for xda III
Has anyone an italian rom for XDA III?
Thank you

O2 XDA2s lock
I got my xda2s a week ago and when i called O2 they told me that there is no way i can unlock my phone before the 12month contract ends!
That is really annoying,but they told me its part of my contract agreement!(which i haven't seen mentioned anywhere...)
I need to use it in another network over the christmas, so if there is any other way i can get this unlock code you are talking about, or any software that takes away the lock PLEASE share it.
I really appreciate it.
George

It may be worth ring O2 again. It seems to me that it's the luck of the draw whether you get someone in customer services who
a. gives you the unlock code immediately
b. charges you for an unlock code and unlocks it immediately
c. tells you it can't be done until the end of the first 12 months of your contract.

T Mobile Unlocking
I recieved my MDA III Yesterday :lol:
I phoned T mobile straight away on 150 (from the handset) they were very helpful and told me they are happy to unlock it :lol: :lol:
but I had to have the contract for 1 month
only 30 days to go :wink:

georkal woudl you please tell me exactly-
Which customer service number you have called?
How can you tell them to unlock the phone? (I hv Voda Sim? I go overseas?)
Thanks a lot indeed

I'm glad you got it sorted georkal.
It's always been like this with O2, I wonder what there 'official' policy is supposed to be? Everyone who calls them seems to get a different answer.

o2 - no help at all!
Hi there,
I have tried O2 a number of times, and each time I come across the same problem - if you aren't an 02 customer, then no unblock for you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get this thing unblocked?
Tony

Phone your own provider. I'm on T-Mobile and had to pay £15 to get it unlocked.

I spoke to O2 Cust Service 202 many times......
(1)bring it to shop they will unlock for ya
(2)impossible
(3)not until 12 months later

Keep calling - 02 will give the unlock eventually.
I just told them that I was travelling to the US and wanted to connect to a different network while I was there. My unlock code is in the post right now - can't wait!

Can anyone unlock the MDA Pro?

Pls help, need to unlock my MDA Pro.

nobody seems to have come up with a solution yet, im awaiting the same too
For the meantime, as I cannot afford to wait since I need a phone, you can call Tmobile customer services and ask them for an MDA Pro Unlock code, which they will provide for £15, you just need to tell them your IMEI.

Lucky you!!
Just to help you understand how lucky you are:i own a sequel of qtek universal called QTEK v1640 by Vodaphone's partner network in France, SFR.
The phone is simlocked and if you want it unlocked you have either to wait until you possess the pda for 6 months and get teh code delivered to you free of charge, or shell out 114 euros and get the phone theoretically unlocked at once with an imei unlockung code.
That's what is said to happen, except when SFR tells you that the phone you are willing to unlock is not in their suppliers list, that their supplier asks you three times in arow for the imei to check it against his list; and still doesn't find your phones imei; Except also when witha phone branded to their networks name, sfr tells you that the phone wasn't supplied in apcking displaying all sfr trademarks, with a graphic interface chosen and locked by them, with stickers in the batterycompartment showing sfr and finally the sfr product id for this phone.
Now you see how badly i need a unlock tool for my Qtek9000 sequel .
Please focus on this tools as i need badly to unlock this phone at once.
Just to show you how lucky you are;

Get Creative
I think you should all be aware that very few operators actually currently possess IMEI unlock codes for the HTC Universal in their databases and will in most cases have to ask the factory in Taiwan for the code. All I can say is get creative....use the customer service number of an operator in another country and see if you can get your phone unlocked....I had mine unlocked for free within 24 hours. :wink:

yo yo still waiting to unlock my mda pro
because i want to use my vodafone
and in the meanwile i just wait
cause there must be someone to make a upgrade
haahah nice tune maybe 8) :lol:

is it possoble to unlock my orange spv m5000 by calling (and paying 100 $) T-Mobile?

All I can say is get creative....use the customer service number of an operator in another country and see if you can get your phone unlocked....I had mine unlocked for free within 24 hours.

Hi fslunatic,
can you tell us which operator and country we should try and especially what to tell the customer service. I guess somebody with Orange subscription will have problems to contact i.e O2. :?:
Thanks for your feedback.

yes I unlocked mine
Called T-mobile. Assistant did not know what I was aking. Asked a supervisor and then went thtough process from her training manual.
COst GBP 15 quid. and unlock code was recieved through the post.
No hassle

Hi MCT,
If you have an Orange phone then call Orange...if it's Vodafone than Vodafone. Some work cross-country some don't. Just tried to help someone here unlock with Vodafone but no joy. I have had succes with T-Mobile....cross-border. Sometimes it also depends on how helpful the person on the other end is. The best punchline to give them is to make sure they understand that they have nothing to lose by giving you the unlock code....that without the code you cannot even select their network to make sure they get revenue from your call.
Good luck!

Can the UK BT HTC S620 be unlocked?

I need to unlock a UK HTC S620, its locked to the BT netowr here in the UK
Thanks for the help

Unlock for applications you mean? I.e to run a custom ROM. Or unlock it from the network so you can use it with another mobile provider?
You can certainly unlock it for applications. Unlocking it from BT may be more difficult.

You mean operator. First check it is actually locked as it might not be. Then either use this http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ or search the forum for the guy who was generating unlock codes for free a while back.

I think this is the tread you need - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789

i rang bt, spoke with tech help and was told that they would only unlock phone for the contract holder not the person who has bought one from a bt customer on ebay and wants to unlock it. has anyone found a way round this?

Just check ebay item no. 290441137764
cheers,Dare

JockyW, has just sim unlocked an eBay UK BT S620 today for me, very fast and reasonable service, see his thread.
I tried to get BT to do it, at first they told me I needed the original phone number, so I got that from the seller, then they said the original account holder had to apply, so I gave up and paid JockyW, he checks that he can do the unlock before asking for payment and gives instructions.
Don't upgrade to WM6.5 before doing the unlock.

You need to get that from your phone provider, or you can buy your unlock code off of ebay.

As each code is linked to an IMEI, you will have to go to a reseller, or to your provider, to get your code. I got mine for free at freeg1unlockcodes.com, but there are many places on the web that will do it for you at a price.

Xperia SX SO-05D (MT28) Docomo Unlock

Hello to all,
I bought in japan a beautiful SX Sony Xperia SO-05D (model TM28), just saw I'm loving it
on some forums before buying it said that I could use it with sim Italian, but not having a microsim below I could not test it in the store at the time of the problem is that it is obviously locked to the operator NTT-Docomo, it asks me to boot the SIM network unlock PIN ...:crying:
I tried looking at some posts here and a lot of damage as a solution to check on the Omnius site, the problem is that there is not listed on my model (which is quite recent: it is released in September), I sent him an email to see if is there any software release x my model, but I have not replied ...
Instead some web site told me to try between 3/4 weeks. then with about € 30 send me the code if available (we will have to trust ...?)
can anyone help me? maybe there is some common software unlock for sony mobiles...?
1000 Thanks to all!!
ale
P.S. I tried to check if it was hardlocked, next to the voice network does not give me the number of times missing and it says "Network unlimited" would mean that I can make as many attempts I want...?

Dear Member......
after waiting 7days time, i unlocked customer phone today in gsmfather.com...........
the phone was network unlimited, before entering code......

I have the same problem, Does anyone know if it's possible to unlock i for free, or have any recommended sites that can get you an unlock code?
