Honorable mention to Slimshady0 - he was second in order of helping me and verified what MDAIIIUser was telling me.
In this message you will find what my problem was and what I did to get my phone unlocked -
First - The Problem - (keep scrolling down to find the solution)
Here is the scenario:
I bought a Siemens SX66 on eBay.
IMEI 353030000772202
Model# PH20B1
CPU: Intel ® PXA263
ROM Version: 1.20.10 WWE
ROM Date: 10/08/04
Radio Version: 1.02.10
Protocol Version: 1337.38
ExtROM Version: 1.20.115 WWE
I live in Kimberly, Idaho, USA 83341 - Cingular is not available in this area but the SX66 is tagged for the cingular network. There is only EdgeWireless - A Member of the AT&T wireless network, but they have a different SOC (system operator code) and SID (system identification number) than AT&T or Cingular.
Problem - because there is no Cingular in this area, the phone will not work. when I put in my SIM from Edge Wireless the phone displays the SIMlock page with the following Error Message - "Network is locked, Please input unlock code"
I was told that the phone is SOC locked (limited by certain System Operator Codes) instead of SIMlocked I don’t know if this is the case, all I know is the error message that I get.
Now for the solution -
The solution for me is made possible by www.imei-check.com
For this week it is only available to members of MoDaCo

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17280
but soon you can go directly to www.imei-check.com and they will be able to help you, or maybe you could contact them now directly through email.
Anyhow, I downloaded their program and followed their instructions with one exception - in instruction #2 they stated
"2. Hold down [CAMERA] and [POWER] button......."
My SX66 doesn't have a camera and so I had to use the Record button (looks like a little audio tape) that I imagine is in the same place (it is on the left hand side with the up and down scroller - there is one button above the scroller and one button bellow the scroller. I used the one above it)
I had to pay their fee (20 Pounds) which was $38.85 USD because of the poor exchange rate ($1 USD = .514897 Pounds Sterling)
But after buying the phone on ebay when it first came out for $700 and not being able to use it for 2 months because of the SIMLock - I felt it was very reasonable.
Make sure you back up all your data before you start the process because when you do this it will erase everything that you previously put in it - It will revert back to its original "Out Of The Box" state.
They say it only takes 5 minutes from the time you submit your IMEI and your file that their program creates and pay for it with PayPal. Well I got
the code in like 10 seconds, but I had an issue with my restore through ActiveSync, it wasn't able to restore everything, but by trying restore 3 more consecutive times I was able to get everything back on the phone with it unlocked. It is so Awesome - I have been waiting to use this phone for 2 months - Thanks to all the people that made this happen. - RED
please feel free to contact me directly if you need help with this - but be patient because it usually takes me a day to reply

I wonder if you tould you share that program with people having the same problem. Which is the name of the program? Thanks.

I would if I could.

I would if I could. - The program only generates a binary file that you have to send back to the company and then they auto reply with your unlock code that is encoded in that binary file - if you think you can hack it I would be happy to send it to you - RED

Re: I would if I could.
I am desperate!!! Does anybody know how to get a free unlock tool for xda III? It´s impossible that people having xda I or II can unlock their device freely, and people having xda III can´t! Thanks!

Hi RED,
I woould be interested in that binary file, I have been playing with the unlocking program disassembling and looking at the parts of source code which were readable, but didn't have the time to go through a hard reset of my device. Would you be kind enough to send it to me?
My email address is [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
Angelos

zouganelis, dou you think you could create a free unlock tool for xda III? thanks.

I am not a software cracker or anything, but I can understand how things really work because of my electronic engineering background. I have good experience in assembly coding so I hope I can make some sense from the visible parts of code + the log file. I will keep you guys updated about this.
Cheers

Heads up

Any news of the unlock software ?

This is a disassembled SimLock.exe file. I think that someone can find how unlock code is calculated from IMEI number, because this exe file is responsible for that.

[request] Adressbook Filter/Highlighter/App to highlight number prefix

Hello xda-forum members,
i am searching for a tool or app which can filter/highlight Names in the Adressbook.
Maybe its better to explain what for i want it.
There are so many numbers of Providers like AT&T, Verizone, Orange, Vodafone, T-Mobile... they all have a special prefix
in Germany
0151, 0160, 0170, 0171, 0175
D1/T-Mobile
0152, 0162, 0172, 0173, 0174
Vodafone, D2
0155, 0157, 0161, 0163, 0164, 0177, 0178
E-Plus, BASE, Simyo
0159, 0176, 0179
O2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I need an App or a plugin for the adressbook to Filter out the numbers from a Provider.
Ideas
1. just Filter it for the beginning numbers and Show Highlighted(other color)
2. an App where you can Select the Provider and then it shows the list of Contacts with this Provider
3. Just add the tag Provider to the adressbook (like the Filter looks for numbers in the beginning)
Maybe this App / Filter already exists, i didn't find it.
So if anyone knows about software like this let me know...
thanks
Edit: i am now at Android ;-) so this Tread can be closed and deleted

List of different provider store names

Everyone knows this url:
catalog.zune.net /v3.2/ en-US/apps?clientType=WinMobile%207.0&store=<storename>
But I haven't found a complete list of store names yet, so I wanted to start one. Help is appreciated!
TMODE - T-Mobile Germany
Samsung - Manufacturer store
HTC - Manufacturer store
LGE - LG Electronics Manufacturer store
Dell - Dell Manufacturer store
ATT - US AT&T
TMOUS - T-Mobile US
Starhub - Starhub Singapore
O2ODE - O² Germany
I would be especially interested in the store name of SingTel...

Maybe someone knows the store name for "Orange UK"?

"ATT" for US AT&T
"TMOUS" for T-Mobile US

Does someone know the name for Telstra? I'd like to have a look at Whereis Navigator...

Download the garmin xap from the US store, it contains resources for the Whereis app and may be useful to you (unless you want to use the xap to navigate of course)

Telus

What is the purpose of this? I have sprint if you tell me how find it Ill try to post

Singtel and M1 Singapore.

does someone knows the register key to change the provider? I can't find it anywhere on the forum..

What about NOKIA?

HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator

Be carful with changing the MobileOperator. Doing it too often, it will invalidate DRM store (and ANY marketplace application will stop working).
There is a topic about this on xda.

[Req]Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm guide

As the title said I have a galaxy watch 46mm. IT hasR800xxu1dsl1 software with 4.0.0.7 tizen.
Are there any guides on how to make galaxy pay work on this one?
Found some tutorials but don't really know what firmware I need to use, or how to use via netOdin, so I would appreciate a little guide on how to change the firmware, and what firmware to use on my watch to make it work with galaxy pay.
Thanks all!

From what I read I need only the csc file for usa to allow me install samsung pay, but can't find it anywhere...
Update: Switched firmware to R800xxu1dtg1 still samsung pay is not working

Updated to this

When installing samsung pay apk watch plugin

With this version is the same

Actually, it is not because of Samsung rather then your bank credit card issuer.
So, you CAN NOT use SamsungPay because your country (Romania if I am correct) is not on the Samsung billing list of supported countries.
There are only very limited countries supported by SamsungPay...Even if you change CSC code, it will not work because your credit cards issued in your country are not recognized inside app. I tried here in Croatia myself, changing multiple CSC codes, but no success ,therefore, we need to wait from Samsung and our Banks to add our countries on their credit card billing supporting list.
So far, actual full country list with supported SamsungPay countries until now is here
https://www.samsung.com/ch/samsung-pay/support_en/

I also went through all this process and ended up succesfuly. I also live in Croatia where SPay is not officially supported nor we have supported bank cards.
Since I'm using Curve card (UK card) I had to switch my watch to BTU (UK) CSC. I said "I had" because Curve has limited SPay only to UK region**. This was long time ago and I can't help much because process was quite complex and I don't want to mess somebody's watch. I managed to downgrade GW46 to tizen 4.0 and change CSC, and then update it to newer BTU firmware.
I saved links I used so here they are, hope they help:

Since I have changed CSC, I also got SPay option in Wear app (right next to Bixby option) so I could proceed with adding a card to my watch
** I think later Curve has enabled SPay for other regions where SPay is supported because I managed to add this UK card to my canadian Note 9 (XAC). Teoretically, you could use other CSCs on your watch in order to add Curve card - NOT tested, cannot confirm 100%!
You have to have CARD supported by SPay + CSC REGION where SPay is officialy supported. If any of these two parameters are missing, process will fail. No need for VPNs, location spoofing etc.

[Question] Redmi note 8. Unable to get UK Immigration: ID Check

Hello everyone,
I am seeking assistance for a friend who recently moved from India to the UK. He brought his Redmi Note 8 device with him from India and created a new Google account upon arrival in the UK. As part of his immigration process, he needs to use an app, but the Google Play Store is indicating that the app is incompatible with his device.
Despite running Android 12, the app still does not work, leading me to believe that there may be a block in place due to the phone being purchased in India. I am unsure of the specific details of what my friend needs to do with the app, but I am hoping that someone might have the most recent version of the app that they could share. It would be great if the version could be from a Redmi Note 8 device, as I have tried to share the base APK from my device, but it crashes when used.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
