I purchased a palm treo 750 on craigslist from an AT & T customer. They provided me with the unlock code, but it must not be correct. I have entered it several times and I have received a message that says: you have tried 6 times, please wait until time out...
How long is this time out, is it permanent?
How can I get around this so that I can use this AT & T phone with my TMobile service?
Thanks,
Kim
If you do a google, there are several places online to purchase unlocking software. It will probably cost you approx $35 us.
I used gsmphonesource.com and had no problems. Make sure you have a sim from another provider though. All you need to do is borrow a friends that might be T-mobile or something similar.
Take a look here

I have seen some UK posts relating to the IQ, but I can't see it on the o2.shop site and when I rang O2 "customer services" they said it had been discontinued 2 weeks ago. He went on to put the phone down on me when I enquired further, leading me to suspect he may have have been being 'creative' with the facts?
Has anyone got one through O2 (I'm guessing you can only get an IQ through O2?) and if so, how much was it?
I got an IQ last month for free with o2 25 at £6pcm on a 18mth contract. AFAIK the IQ is still being sold.
Do you mind me asking how you got it? I don't even seem to be able to get O2 to acknowledge the existence of it, or am I looking in the wrong place (http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/)?
IQ
I have just taken delivery of an IQ.
I like......
Used to have previous incarnations of XDA2 = XDA2s = XDA2i.
Only downside at this stage is it does not sync with Notes!!!
Just need to get it unlocked...
I got it from O2 - been a business customer for some time.
follow this link http://xda.o2.co.uk/existingContact.aspx.
It does specify a business user - however who/what defines a business???
Re notes, I've found SmartphoneNotes from Syncdata to be a good app.
See my notes on the apps I consider essentialhere
There is no way to order the device except through o2 C/S at present.
Also, it is already SIM unlocked. Haven't been able to get it App unlocked yet though, but this apparently is more to do with the AKU 2.0 update than anything else.
Thanks to both of you for your help

You can't buy it from there though....
true.. although click on "Where can I get one" and they'll phone you back to process your order
Anyone know how to unlock the treo 750 yet
looking for same...the earlier thread seems to be dancing around the topic but no clear idea if they figured it out or how to do it
Only way at presnet is to contact vodaphone and pay a fee of 15-20 can't remember the correct fee. I have been waiting for a week so far for my unlock code they said it can be anything from 14 days - 28 days.
Yeah i did that today they said i had to put £20.oo credit on my pay as you go phone and wait, however i wasnt convinced it is going to work as she didnt know what the phone was or anything. Did they say how they would contact you or any other info
I will have to wait for 2 weeks before i can use this damn it
I would advise you to go into a vodaphone store pay the £20 over the counter and then the wait begins. They will ask you for a email address and full postal address, The network unlock comes from another department so they are not generated in store but this way you have someone to go back too.
I have push service on my email so as soon as i get it I am going to unlock the phone I called and tonight and they say it shouldn't be too long.
I asked in store first and they said they couldnt do it as "Computer says no" so i called them up, they took my email address and an alternative number and told me to add £20.00 credit to my pay as you go number so they can take payment, i will wait and see if the payment is taken then chase them, i want the phone for my work tmobile account as i have web n walk
Same here I can wait till I get my unlock code I really like the form factor of the treo to my TyTN. I take it you took the Treo out on pay as you go then? I think the in store price was £400 when I last looked.
Yeah i picked it up for £380.oo in store
How are you guys finding it compared to the TyTN?
Well just a heads up, i emailed this company today and they say they can unlock a Treo 750V so i have sent them my imei no and should have an unlock code in 24-48 hrs it costs £25.00 but its better than waiting 2-3 weeks that vodafone are stating minimum
I will give you an update when i get the code

Cheers

I just had a word with a vodaphone sales guy and they said the reason why there is 2-3 weeks wait, They don't want there customers leaving so you have to seee out the contract period. 14 days you can take the phone back and cancle the contract.
Keep me updated as I may be getting a spare treo as a second phone and giving my TyTN to my brother.
Nice find chrissyboy6969
£405 all in all for a treo 750 sim free isn't bad at all.
Will pay $400 to have treo 750 unlocked...currently locked to vodafone...
@sizzlerecords
you owe me 400 $... check here: http://www.imei-check.co.uk/p750unlock.php
cheers, lutz
Googling "Treo 750 unlock" i also found http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/palm-treo-750-unlock-p-1283.html
Can i get 400$ too ?
Any one know of a free solution ? (Can't promise 400$ )
I saw a flash tutorial on unlocking treo 750
at www.fasttutorial.com, I believe it includes all the treo.
I has just unlocked my treo 750v locked to 3G networks with this website :
http://www.dudoanketqua.com/unlock/unlock_treo-750v.php
I bought the unlock instructions ( only 19.99$ ) , provide them my Imei number and they give me a key file ( file *.unl )
I use a data cable and unlock it using a software they provided and this key file within 5 minutes . it worked great now
You can also buy it from ebay
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1...1&mpre=http://search.ebay.com/unlock+treo+750
I'm looking for some one can provide me a English Rom . my treo is in Frence now. If you got it. please send me a PM. Thanks
If you wanna have this key file to reasearch for a free unlocking method for people, contact me and i'll email you. Notes that in the program said thay" each imei have a difference key file ..." so it think it will not works with your phone .
Did you try an other sim instead of looking for unlocking your treo 750?
Anyway, I did and was happy to see an Orange simcard just was working fine!
There's no lock on my Vodafone Treo 750!
I rang vodafone and asked for a unlock code and they gave it to me free of charge! Now fully unlocked to all networks.

Thought you was on O2?
I am, but I have another upgrade on Vodafone waiting for me to use
Then it is just a matter of flashing it and hoping it is not sim locked. If it is then looks like I am going to have to pay a hefty fee on this forum to get it unlocked.
Now get back to your Stella induced slumber
I now have mine in hand.
The good news is that it is Sim Unlocked already. I just popped my O2 Sim in it and it worked straight away.
The bad news is that they have butchered the software. Anyone using it without flashing is going to think it is a pile of rubbish.
I am just waiting for it to charge before I Hardspl it and flash it.
Hi Churchwa,
So....How do you go about flashing the TD Pro?
I've got mine now (with the vodafone skinning) how do I get ride of it (the vodafone skin that is)?
Help please...
All details you need to flash your device and HARDSPL can be found in the wiki, and the rom development section of this forum.
Many thanks. I'll have a gander!
Hardspl worked like a treat.
Then I flashed it with the latest Asian WWE rom. Very very easy
Could you give a quick little tutorial on what needs to be done, this is my first windows mobile phone.
THANKS

Why did you Flash it to an Asian ROM over a UK one?
What are the improvements over the Vodafone ROM
??
A question to those of you who got it on Vodafone UK, have you got a registered business or something? I was going to order mine a bout 2 minutes ago, but its asking if im a sole trader\Ltd Company etc... or did you manage to get it without a connection to a business?
just ring the normal new connections number and ask for a touch pro, they should give you one straight away, thats all i did.
rang Thursday afternoon, was offered 600 mins unlimted txts and unlimited internet for 35 a month and got the phone for 20 pounds, not bad really, got delivered today (fri) about dinner time.
currently flashing it reception seems quite good with voda and they seem really efficient.
My local Vodafone store called to let me know they had the Touch Pro in stock and were willing to sell me one on a £35/month contract with net access but still wanted £100 up front, still a little steep.
I tried my luck calling in to Vodafone sales and was tole that the TP was only on a business contract if that helps.
D.
Thanks for the heads up, my brother in law (who has a business) has got his today and was told by Vodafone he can have a few extra lines, so i was going to get it that way if i cant get it direct, i know someone already stated that its not SIM Locked, but can anyone else confirm this too, although i'll be getting it on contract with VF UK, but i wont acually use that SIM, i'll be using a T-Mobile one and just want to make sure before i comit.
Hiya.. I have a small business and got this via my business contract. but as others have said you can get them on a consumer contract also.
Just Flashed mine with the 1.90 405.1 top get rid of all that Red Vodafone crap
Ordered!
Just thought i'd let everyone know, I've ordered the Touch Pro on Vodafone as a consumer and not business, so as stated by someone else earlier, you can get this without being a business. Not only that, the option i chose was "Best for texter" which, for £35 (including VAT), gives you 600 minutes and unlimited text messages (AUP says 3000 messages a month) and the guy on the phone said he'd give me the unlimited internet package too (500MB limit per month) and has the full HSDPA enabled ie 7.2 MPBS and the best bit of it all.... the phone was free
He said it should be with me Tuesday, so for me Chistmas has come early, just got to hope i can use my T-Mobile SIM without having to unlock it, i'll let you know as soon as i get it.
just to let people know, the phone i got from voda is unlocked, has my orange sim in it now.

Is the full HSDPA enabled mean the little H that changes from H to 3G is that ?
Why does it keep changing, shall i set the H as default?
It only switches to H when you need it, (when streaming data) otherwise it just sits on 3G
Hi there ! Bought one of these phones from ebay.co.uk and wanted to unlock it before it arrives by IMEI. A friend told me that the O2 ones already come sim unlocked... is this true?
Many thanks!!!

That's not true, they are locked to O2 network. Fill in a form here: https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form and wait. It took them one day to supply me with an unlock code.
Thank you very much. Already received it and, as you told, it's locked. I'm not living in UK and bought the phone on ebay to use overseas. The link you provided it's for 02 contract customers, no? Do you know any reliable unlock code provider? Cheers
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Well, most likely the person who sold you the phone is an O2 contract customer. You could ask that person to request an unlock code for you as it would be free of charge. Another option is to get O2 Pay & Go sim card and doing it yourself. See this: http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI...ef(User):str(Mobile),CASE=ref(unlockmymobile) which might be tricky if you're not in the UK I don't know of any reliable unlock sites, but they usually charge a fortune for this.
This thread describes the situation I was in, in case anyone stumbles on it later.
I tried via the O2 online chat to get the phone unlocked. They said that I could not unlock it because they could only supply an unlock code if the phone had been used for 12 months on O2 and their records showed that this particular phone had only been used for three months. So, it looked like I would have to get a UK O2 SIM and use it for nine months. That is not easy if you live in Australia. However there is a site called Travelgear that sells O2 SIMs and lets you charge them up with 20 pounds of credit. So, I did that, and installed the SIM with a view to seeing out the 9 months, perhaps sending a text every so often and topping up each month. After installing the SIM I received a text from O2 saying I had 100MB of data to use. In trying to work out the status of the phone account I pressed an O2 shortcut on the front screen which opened up an app which when I pressed on the "My O2" button, opened up the web browser, which would not let me log into any information. Then, I thought I would ask O2 again to unlock via their online support form. Unsurprisingly, they responded that they could not but surprisingly, they said that the reason was that I did not have the necessary 15 pounds of credit. I queried that because I thought I should have 20 pounds. Ha ha! While it is 100MB, it is 6 pounds per MB if you are roaming in Australia! The brief attempt to check my account status had wiped out my credit. Gosh how I laughed.
Anyway, in parallel with all of this I tried an unlocking site called gsmliberty. They said they would need to go to a "second level database" at an additional charge and I said no thanks I will have a refund, which they promptly gave without fuss. Then I tried CellUnlockerPro. First time, they said the servers were down, which I thought was just an excuse for not being able to get the unlock code as gsmliberty had not been able to, so I asked for a refund and they too gave it to me promptly. About a week later CellUnlockerPro emailed to say the server was up so I thought nothing to be lost and gave it a shot. I put in the wrong IMEI but again CellUnlockerPro gave me a refund because I spotted the mistake early. I tried again and lo! they gave me an unlock code which worked.
So, moral of this sad story seems to be that if you are in Australia, do not waste money trying to get the free unlock out of O2, just spend the 30 USD that CellUnlockerPro charges.
Ok so here is my problem. hope people here can help me or suggest me a solution asap.
I live in India. I was on a trip to United States and i bought Moto X first gen from Atnt store near dallas, TX. As i was not a US citizen i could only get Go phone service rather then their regular ones. So i paid full price for phone and used it with Atnt network there for a month. a month later i was back to India and will be here for next year or so. i contacted Motorola customer service to unlock my phone as i had paid full price on which i got a reply that i should contact Atnt and not them, they cannot help. so i contacted Atnt. they said to wait 6 months for applying for unlock. so after six months ( i bought the phone in march 2014) i try to request unlock through there site and it says not in their database. so i contact customer service to which they tell me as my phone number was not active for 4-5 months now so it has been deactivated and passed on to different customer. so phone number linked to my device is no more which is why it does not show in database and will not till i go there and buy new number to link my device to and request again. which is highly unlikely as i have a work here which i cannot leave and even if i just decide to make a trip for my phone it will cost me 3 times the phone's cost (full price i mean) nor i have someone there in States to send my phone to so they can go through the process not to forget sending phone there and other transport cost etc etc. so no official way, Atnt left me hanging.
next step as usually people do i go to unlock site. i used site called unlockunit.com to which i paid around 25 USD and waited for 2 weeks. they provided me with pins 2 from atnt in 3 days and 2 from motorola in 14 days. none worked. they said they will refund me and has been 3 months now still nothing. they say issue in their financial department. that i will have to be patient. so you see i lost faith in this type of sites too. not willing to try others unless i know i will get my phone unlock or my money back.
so what i want to know is, is there any way i can get my phone unlock. if so how?! can i root my device and get it unlock?! any other method. please do let me know. cause i do not want my 450 USD go to waste seeing it as just a phone which i cannot use as phone but just to play games on.
and sorry if i am a noob for asking this and if this is a wrong place as well. i am a noob.
please do help if you can. thank you.
