I havent posted here in a while.. I have contributed alot, so don't flame me for this quesiton.. I haven't been up to speed here in a while.. So if possible can someone point me in the direction of unlocking the Pantech Duo.. yes I have used SEARCH so don't go there.
Thanks
If you mean sim unlock there are some websites that offer their service.
If you mean app unlock just search for SDA unlock.
SDA same as Pantech? I don't know smartphones.. lol... just PPC's.
Well... you could try SDA unlock.
I'll look into it.. since it's APP unlocking, it's not possible to brick correct? ..
The program only change some settings on the registry. The worst that could happen is you doing a hard-reset
that's what I was thinking.. I figured since the Pantech isn't an HTC phone, that that was the reason a SIM unlocking application had not yet been developed.. I think I might try debugging some things see if I can't come up with one.

i am getting an 8125 next week from somebody who was a cingular customer. he got the factory unlock code from a cingular rep (but he cant unlock it cuz he doesnt have a different carriers sim card). is there any difference if i use that to unlock it or if i use the lokiwiz program i keep reading about??
also, as you can probly tell im new to pda's. to load the window mobile 6 would i have to unlock the CID (which im not even sure what it is)? what are the benefits for using wm6 and is it fully functional on the 8125 (ive read a few posts from ppl that say they have problems). i also saw a thread for making an i-phone skin...is it possible to have both wm6 and this iphone skin? also, can anyone explian what this aku2 rom is?
sorry to make this post, but there are so many threads about the stuff i am inquiring about and hundreds of pages and its just too long to go thru. if anybody can help me out that would be appreciated...thanks a bunch!!!
Other than to say you need to read some of the sticky's in the WM6 forum, as well as the Wiki's - here's a few hints:
If you have a G3 - get it CID unlocked. If it's a G4, you can leave it locked and still flash WM6 just fine - if you use shelltool.
WM6 is mostly cool factor, with a few new features. How many people can say they're running WM6? Bleeding edge, baby, but it ain't without some pain.
iPhone skin - yes, and good luck. I tried it, and it was a slow pig - it looked alot like the iPhone, but not worth the bling. Try driving your car with a painted tarp on it. yeah, right. Can barely open the doors.
As for aku2, no idea. Hit search and check it out.
You got lots of reading ahead of you. I spent 10 hours reading before my first attempt at flashing - and I'm a fast reader.
yea im doing a lotta reading....where is the link to the wm6? i cant seem to find it!
check my sig for all unlocking problems...once you do that worry about WM6..Just check out a section and read up on the roms

Don't learn by flashing. Learn by reading. $400 is a lot of jack to waste trying to learn by experience.

You can't use it with the cingular sim card beause you don't need it!
You have to borrow a sim card other than your carrier's sim card to apply the code. Once applied, the sim portion of your cell is unlocked for life if you have the right code.
Lockwiz will CID unlock your phone as well. Once successfull with this portion, you can install any ROM or Custom ROM....designed for your TYPE of device.
You are currently running an AKU2 ROM.
Based on your line of questioning, you have a WHOLE lot of reading to do. You sound like you're on your way to be stuck in bootloader mode.
Do your reading 1st, collect all your tools and all you need can be found by you doing the research in the threads. All the answers to your questions are in the WIKI....it's your friend.
This was a freebee....if you're not willing to go thru the hundreds of threads, as you stated to get the answer....use the search tool or stay with your factory ROM.
Remember: This is a Developer's Forum, not a USER's Forum
This thread you created was a waste!
no pain ... no gain....
imho it starts to look like a 3th rang helpdesk here
Hi guys,
I've just received my T mobile branded Kaiser. It's called the Vario 3.
As i am not looking to use the device with tmobile. Is it possible to debrand this device? If so, please explain how. My assumtption is that i'll need to upload a generic rom to the device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please read the forum first, before you post a question...
Especially the sticky threads...
To be short:
We know it's called the Vario 3 / Vario III
...
You can probably unbrand the outside by rubbing some sugar against the logo's (I don't take any responsability for this, but it's known to be working on a T-Mobile MDA Vario I).
Th 'inside' is also known as the ROM an can't be unbranded yet...
Just wait untill we are able to CID-unlock it, so you can flash the ROM with an unbranded one...
For now you can hard-reset (format) it and jst after the screen alignment when it's counting down for customization soft-reset it by pushing your stylus up the little hole in the bottom of your device...
Good luck...
Oh, and...
Welcome to the Kaiser forum
Hi,
Sorry for not reading the sticky stuff, i'm just not that familiar with the technical terms for these devices so i thought me asking 'again' novice-style may be cool. Thanks for your help on this mate.
No problem...
I started out this way too, so...
I can tell you it's really worth it to dive in to this forum...
You can learn a lot if you check the threads once in a while...
Be carefull with advanced adjustments to your device, especially when you haven't got the right ROM for backup...
On the other hand, don't be scared to try out some stuff, because it's very hard to brick a device...
BTW:
Bricking means you screw up youre device so terribly (beyond repair) that it's turned in to a brick / expensive paperweight...
Just tried putting in my vodaphone sim into the Vario 3 and it says SIM LOCK code needed....Any advice where to get one from apart from t mobile?
Sorry...
I guess you'll have to wait...
pof is working on a CID-unlocker and probalby on a way to SIM-unlock it too...
I heard it's a difficult procedure, because the way it's simlocked is 'new'...
Maybe you can try www.imei-check.co.uk...
It's a paid service...
Decide for yourself if you're willing to pay, or have the patience to wait for a free solution...
I'm definatley sticking with the last one...
Ok, I been searching for a long time for answers " how to unlock a sidekick's? " I know that is only exclusive for T-mobile but at least the calling and texting will be usable except the dangeon internet features on it I think I found that this site is one of the best interms of unlocking software changing radio for PDA base cellphones. If you guys rock on the PDA cellphone unlocking I think you can make one for sidekicks to. I wish someone will do this for sidekick users since there is no one right now that came out a solution for this unlocking for all sidekick's. thank you and I really wish that someone will someday can unlock the sidekick's.
First I would like to apologize if this question has been asked before but I didn't really come across an answer for this . I am a noob at this but I'm trying learn as I go so if some could just give a quick yes or no that would be awesome.
I recently bought an unlocked at&t tilt/kaiser from ebay to use with my t-mobile sim. The phone came with windowss mobile 6.1 htc rom on it but I noticed alot of problems with it such as camera recorder not working and not being able to recieve MMS messages. From this site I learned that HTC America has an offical windows 6.1 rom update for the tilt.
If I upgraded the Rom from tthe site lock the phone back up?
No, it wont. Whatever you do, you'll never relock the phone unless you actually download an application to relock it; basically, it'll stay unlocked forever.
Thanks!! I really appreciate the help.
You're welcome Just a quick suggestion; if you read the wiki,hopefully it'll address most of your questions. If it's not there, search the threads and the answer should be there, if not, then make a thread

No you don't need the code. Download Android SDK and install it. There's a thread to teach you the basics.
i've got the SDK... im really sorry, but i've been using iOS for the last few years, so im not really good at this... can someone please give me a step by step on this...??? i just wanna use my sim in this phone... please help...
will someone please help me...
Look man, they already gave you a solution, PAY FOR THE UNLOCK CODE or CALL T-MOBILE to see if they can give you the unlock code.
It doesn't matter what phone you have if you need a SIM unlock you will need to get it from somewhere because as someone else already stated, at this time there is no way to SIM unlocking the phone with the software that is available to us.
Other members here have you running around because you can not unlock this phone by just changing a ROM, not here and not on this phone.
Don't confuse the spoonfed blackra1n unlock and jailbreak software with something for android.
If you payed over $300 for the phone, you should be able to pay an additional $20 for an unlock code, or if you dont like that, learn the HTC method to unlock the phone.
?
that wasnt helpful... that was just random... everyone here has helped in thier own way n has helped me learn... thanks for nutthin'... anyone willing to help is always welcome... as i said, im new at this, but i wanna learn... if ur not willing to help, just dont do anything... no one likes a know-it-all who actually doesnt know anything... i know it can be simunlocked, just dont know the specifics... please guys, if anyone has done it, lemme know how...
My friend,
I was in your situation 2 weeks ago. I was in USA in a business trip, bought a Sensation from Amazon. The seller said in the advertisement that the phone is Unlocked. But when I returned to my country.. GUESS WHAT .. It was Locked to T-Mobile and the Seller cheated me .. So I stayed 1 month trying everything with no luck.
I called the T-Mobile customer service more than 5 times and finally they told me that they will not do anything as I'm not a T-Mobile customer.
So finally after one month of reading and searching I decided to buy the unlock code .. and honestly it was the easiest solution. I did a very good research among the websites that gave that service and I chose (HTCimeiUnlock.com).
It costs 25$ and takes only 15 minutes to send the unlock code ..
My advice to you is to buy the code and rest your self from suffer .. It will talk a long time before a tool appears that performing this function.
Hope that benefits you.
Regards,
Mohamed

thanks

there isn't a solution to do it yet! yes we have root access. But even the devs for the hardware unlock solutions haven't released it for this device! XTC Clip supports it but not an unlock
damn i wanna get this done soon...
