Samsung i780 SIM CID unlock?

Hello,
Is there any software around to SIM and CID unlock this amazing phone?
thanks,
Joao Oliveira!!

Hi Joao
I'm expecting my i780 to arrive end of this week and am also looking for a SIM unlock- unfortunately it doesn't seem like there is one around - even finding a website where you pay to unlock is difficult!
However, someone on Modaco unlocked his Orange i780 using a pay website:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/264705/I780-Locked-GPS/page/40/
Alternatively, perhaps flashing the ROM will work? Must admit that I'm not going to try this method yet as posted on the thread....
How much is your network charging for the unlock?

Hello,
Thank for you response.
Any news on unlocking this device? have you tried flashing a new rom? did it work? to be honest i am very scared of flashing a new rom on a locked device, i dont want to brick it.
My network charges me 130euros for unlocking the device. Not too much since i paid very little for it but still ...
Thanks.
Joao Oliveira.

Hi - yes in the end I paid £19 to get it sim unlocked on the day that I got the phone as at the time there was only a test pda rom I think.
Anyway, my sim worked fine once I unlocked the phone but I couldn't get the GPS to work. I think the italian splitted radio rom was available after that so I tried flashing that - it didn't help the GPS, and in the end I had to flash the pda as well (the MSHC3 rom).
Now everything is working thanks to the guys here.
EUR130 is a lot of money to pay to get your phone unlocked....

SimUnlock instructions for ASUS p552 :)

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.
edit (06/07/2009)
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

[QUEST] To save a ex-blacklisted Hero

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!!

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)

[Q] HTC Phone 8s Unlocking Procedure from box

So, i've received right now my new HTC 8S from Telecom Italia Mobile in substitution of my old jailbreaked iPhone 4.
So i want to obtain its best from this hardaware, is my first time i've a Windows Phone 8 Terminal and i want every root right and attribute to installa whatever i want.
What is the correct procedure to do this ?
It's sim operator locked, so i've followed the link cellunlocker.net and i use my IMEI to unlock the phone. I'ts works.
After that I've downloaded this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094384 <-- I dont know if that is a modifie rom, that allow to run alternative store or homebrew software, there is no tescription, but, i've tried to flash my phone whit this, but it return an error, somhting like an error with CID. What's wrong ?
I know, i'm a noob, and my procedure it's uncorrect, but, were i can find a guide with the correct flux diagram to obtain best by my phone hardawre ?
Tankyou for fast reply.

Hi, I'm not sure if you've already managed to unlock your phone but here's what I did to unlock my two HTC 8S' locked to Telstra (Australia).
It took me a little bit to find out if the online unlocker sites were legitimate. The first one I tried which was legit but didn't have a code for my 8S was HTCSimUnlock.com. They offer a full refund (which I'm still waiting for) if the code doesn't work or if one is not available in their system.
I then tried cellunlocker.net, again they offered a full refund if it didn't work so I gave it a go. Success! Within 10 minutes of my order I received an email with the 8 digit unlock code which I entered and could then use my Vodafone SIM.
The part that sucks is that the first 8S died after trying to install an update. I got it replaced and was had to pay for another unlock code. Anyway. I'm happy to say it can be done.
I'm in the process of uploading a video of me unlocking the 8S but if you have a look on Youtube for unlocking HTC phones, the process is the same.
Simply the process is:
1. Order an unlock code using the IEMI on the phone or box.
2. Put in SIM from a carrier you want to use.
3. Power it on, it will prompt you enter the unlock code.
4. Enter the unlock code.
5. That's it enjoy!
Good luck!

he want's to flash his phone not unlock it ( he already did that). I would like to know that also how to root my htc 8s

Not possible...yet :/

I want to unlock Samsung note 2 .Is it possible ?

I want to unlock Samsung note 2 .Is it possible ?

Hi.
Did a quick search through google and offcourse there are several that claim to send an unlock code for a fee. With a previous phone I made a so called 'gold card'. That is a special made micro sd card that providers use to unlock with your emei code injected and when inserted it will unlock your phone. Providers use an application for this. This was with my Htc Desire HD that I had before my Note 2. Not sure if it still works the same these days. For my previous phone I was lucky and found the right tools to do this. I think it requires a lot of internet searching to scramble the right unlock code for free.
Seems that it works different now...
Watched some youtube video's and they pull up a 'secret menu' for provider settings. In the comments it seems that the dial pad code to enter this menu is different with the branding of the phone and when the code works the menu settings are also different with the version of android.
So you can try to find a secret menu code that works on your phone. If a guide is for a specific android version you probably also have to downgrade to a different stock version through odin. I saw a lot of complaints in the comments that a tutorial is not working for everybody. Try to find a tutorial that matches your phone or try to make your phone as it is in the tutorial. Watch several tutorials and follow the steps that work. Try to make it fool proof for yourself so you don't brick your phone.
Sorry, I don't have a definit answer for you.
Good luck.

What is the exact model # of the Note 2. You can find the model # in download mode.
