XDA EXEC - Unlock

Hi
can someone advise how to unlock XDA-EXEC on O2???? 8)
thx

XDA EXEC - Unlock!!!! Hahaha
Just start smiling get the new sim card from the other network, put it in your XDA Ex and enjoy the phone.
This is the JOY of it. THE PHONE WAS NEVER LOCKED. Unless if o2 decided to change and lock it after some of us got the phone.
I repeat NOT LOCKED AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unlock
thx 8) :lol:

E. Gold- Using the phone on o2????????
Since you want to unlock the phone, do you intend to continue using o2 or not?
Your XDA Exe could perform even better but gettting rid of the o2 interface.
To do this do a hard reset. When phone starts chose the corporate intall and password is 0506.
You will have to reinstall other programs that you installed yourself.
Hope this helps

not **completely** true. The ones from online shop tend to be unlocked, but the ones from retail have been coming locked now.

do you have proof? or have you encountered it personally? experiences of friend's or friend's friend do not count.

tried my voda sim in their display one, it was locked.

Methods to SIM Unlock

METHOD 1: I purchased an unlock code that wroked first try....
COST $22
I would like to share my experience for those who do not want to get scammed.
IT WILL TAKE 24 hrs AT LEAST with these guys so don't set your pants on fire waiting !!! I have used this site for all my phones.
Send an email [email protected]. Send IMEI and carrier details, country of carrier.
Then use code to unlock. If you need help entering code please post back.
METHOD 2: I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS. BUT There is another method to unlock the phone using a USB hack. This has worked for most people who tried it. It involves running software on your computer to replace the unlock code location via USB with zeros. This method is covered here in more details:

The ebay method seems to work for now. it can run from $15 -$17.

Nope. Unlocked is when you can use it on a carrier other than At&t. With the skyrocket you have to buy an unlock code. Bloatware is removed in custom roms.

Welcome !
They are different things. Unlocking is SIM card unlocking that then allows you to use your phone on any GSM network.
Removing bloatware requires "rooting". You get access to system files etc. allowing you to modify the software on there.
This a good starting point for Skyrocket to modify software:

If you're using the ASOP lock screen you swipe the padlock towards the Right. If you're using a TW lock screen just swipe anywhere on the screen

Please be more specific as to what unlock you are talking about. If you are just unlocking the Android system then a swipe left or right should do it.
If you are referring to hardware unlock then we need more information. Are you on ATT going to T-Mobile? Then you would need the unlock codes if I remember right.

ATT doesn't unlock skyrockets, they tell everyone I know with skyrockets, that its an exclusive phone so they don't have codes... I had to pay to get my unlock code http://www.cellunlocker.net/ is the place most people get theres unlocked, mine cost $28 to unlock

im guessing your talking about a network unlock, i easily got my phone unlocked from purchasing an unlock code off of ebay, it cost me like $7 and i got the code in 10minutes!
once you get the code all you need to do is insert and invalid sim card boot up your phone, once your phone rejects the sim it will ask for an unlock code, enter your unlock code and boom your unlocked!

For the ebay method, does that code have to be re entered whenever I flash my phone to a new rom? Or is it a permanent hardware unlock?

You have to be on the contract for 3 months, then they will allow you.

Well thats interesting...
Use chainfire or galaxsim unlock. They require root.

Yes, what you need to do is enter the SIM card unlock code that your carrier should have provided you with when you bought the SIM card - if they didn't give you one you'll need to ask them for it.
This is a security feature of the SIM card, and is not the same a network lock, which is coded into the phone's firmware and prevents it from being used on other networks.

I bought the galaxy s2 "unlocked".
But after experimenting with android i noticed that the phone was someday locked to a network and it was unlocked ( using an application ) and sold as "unlocked".
When i installed the new jellybean firmware, in which the installation contains the modem tar file, automatically arranged the nv data file to locked as it was the first time.
Now I have unlocked the phone using the galaxy s unlock application and moved to cm10 again
Thanks

The older version of Galaxsim Unlock worked for me.

The carrier is often not a great help and they sometimes charge a fee for unlock code. Plus the waiting time is frustrating.
I contacted support where i bought my phone and they provided no help.
It seems my phone was originally locked to O2 telefonica even though I bought it "unlocked" online. I suspect a lot of the grey imports have this problem as they temporarily unlock it and then sell it as unlocked. If you need help unlocking it again they're not interested...
I will stick to only Google branded/play store from here on, then I wont need to flash (or wait until the phone is obsolete) before finally getting an update via Samsung.
my phone GT-I9100 on XXLPQ and CF-root

Jumping on the end of this thread.
I have a i9100m (bell - canada) and I have the CM10 nightly on it now. Since then I decided to unlock the phone -seeing as there were so many apps that I could do it with.
Not one has succeeded - Every app I have tried, except the one that you have to pay for from the store.. ANYONE know how much btw??
We still have the Bell account - upgraded the phone on the account to a Siii - and they still want $75 to unlock the Sii - thieves!!!
Looking for a suggestion - nothing on the phone is needed yet.. so .. should I downgrade it.. unlock with something in a different rom.. then back to Cm10? or is the galaxsim pretty cheap.. will work on 4.1.2 and I go with that?

I used the galaxy_s unlock found in play store to unlock mine. Also installed the xxlpq ics firmware using odin before unlocking the phone.
Tried other apps such as galaxy unlock but lead to no success.

[Q] Can I return my Galaxy s3?

Hi all, First post on here hope everyone is nice. So I rooted my s3 played around with wickeds rom and liked it alot! Then I saw Synergy came up with the multi window rom so I flashed that! Everything worked great except wifi was not turning on. I saw someone say you need to unlock bootloader and reflash. So...
I used ez unlock to unlock bootloader
I pressed reboot into recovery
AND.... Bricked.. I think.
Can this be fixed? Most people who brick their phones by flashing to a wrong rom but not in my case. The phone wont turn on and wont go into download mode.
WHAT CAN I DO? can i call samsung and tell them that the screen stopped working or something? Its a 2 week old phone!
PLEASE HELP!!!!

U can search for hardbrick solution, i think there is a way to reflash bootloader. If not take it to samsung, maybe they won't see what u did.

I've returned a phone that was bricked back to a retailer no problem. Going through a carrier might be different.

Look for JTAG repair if you are absolutely sure you cannot get into download mode.

I will take it to tmobile today and post back what happens. Thanks guys

I've also flashed that ROM. You must flash Ktoonsez kernel in order to fix the WiFi problem.
