Hi, Ive searched everywhere for a way to remove the simlock on the 7 pro other than using a code, when i flashed my touch pro handsets it was also possible to remove the simlock via software and cable in a similar way to flashing and did so with ease.
I broke my 7 pro and now have a new one on its way (will be here tomorrow) but its on the O2 network and i want to use it on T-Mobile.
I can have the simlock removed for a fee by a local shop but would prefer to do it myself via software as this phone has cost me enough already!!
Any help on this would be gratefully recieved.
Steve.

Hi
Please can anyone help?
I am new to this so you might have to be a little patient with me. I have an Orange SPV M600 (UK) that I assume I will need to unlock as I am moving to Spain very soon, am I right in saying that it has to be unlocked before I can use a Spanish SIM card in it or will it work anyway? Or unlocking my phone will only allow me to use other network SIM cards within the uk? Does this make sense?
I have flashed the phone with the Dopod Rom update great all the Orange stuff has vanished and I am ready to go…..
So here goes. I have tried to unlock my phone any way as it will not do any harm
I have tried the older version and the latest version of Lokiwiz03 but it still does not want to unlock it.
I have tried numerous downloads but I keep coming up against PROPHETv2Unlock I don’t wish to pay out for this code if too this doesn’t work!
Any Ideas on how I can simply type my IME number into a smart but of software that can generate a little bit of code and drop it into something like the Prophet thing and hey presto its unlocked
Can any one point me please into the right direction PLEASE???
I am going bald!
Nick
Well, since you have flashed it with a Dopod ROM, chances is that it may have been unlocked anyway. Get yourself a (say) T-mobile SIM PAYG card, that cost like 2 pounds over the net, which will get to your home within days. Try that on the phone to make sure that it is unlock.
What is the message that tells you that your phone is not unlocked?
Thanks will give it a go!
Hi all. I'm new to all this after sacking my iphone in favour of the wonderful Desire a couple of weeks ago. I bought the phone on an O2 (UK) pay and go contract and have put my old iphone sim in which works fine. I am keen to get the 2.2 update so paid to unlock my phone having read that unlocked phones can get it now. However, my phone appears to be unlocked as I can use my wife's 3 sim in there but I still can't get the update yet. How do I do this? Do I need to put in a sim from a provider that has released the update already or is there another way round this? Any help would be appreciated as I am learning my way round what appears to be a great OS and phone, even though I appear to have wasted cash unlocking it!
Thanks, in advance.
Note to self-read the forums..!
I've seen how to do it via the Gold card method but would appreciate advice as to which ROM to use...I'm assuming as I'm branded to O2 the O2 specific one is correct? 124865?
I can't post links yet unfortunately.
Hi all
I bought an HTC HD2 new, boxed, gleaming and unused from eBay. Locked to T-Mobile, it took you guys to help get it unlocked so I could use it with my O2 sim. I tried to upgrade the ROM but found that the version I used - 1.72.110.4 - was in fact back to the T-Mobile bunch of stuff you chaps and lasses had tried so hard to get me away from.
I have found the latest O2 version - 1.72.206.3 - which I have copied to my microSD but each time I attempt to install it on the phone I get an error message saying that its not a valid phone file (sob!).
I can no longer access the internet through my roaming bolt on as the thing is tied up to T-Mobiles programming and until I can bully the phone into accepting the new O2 ROM software I am, proverbally, stuffed.
Can anyone suggest a course of action I might follow to get my poor HD2 back on track? (if the course involves alcohol then I've love you all the more for it).
Any assistance you guys n gals might be able to lend would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest regards

Hi,
As the title suggests I lost my HTC mozart in the London tube two weeks back.
Though the microsoft live site boasted of features like find , erase and lock you phone I think it is only possible if you switch on the phone with the same sim.
(I dont think any thief nowadays is stupid enough to do that they would just chuck out the sim and use the phone)
I had informed Orange UK (Where I have contract for the phone but alas with no insurance) and they have informed me that the phone has been black listed and cannot be used anywhere.
I had a few queries and it would be really great if any of you would be able to help.
1) If the imei is black likst can it be used anywhere else (Like in India, Pakistan and all where the black listed numbers might not be shared)
2) Can some one change the imei of the Mozart and use it
3) Is there any way to track my phone based on its imei number
Thanks a lot for your help.
(I would now be using my old Nokia E71 till nokia comes up with some amazing Mango handsets)
Cheers

Find My Phone is based on your Windows Live ID and relies on a data connection. So as long as the phone has those two things, and the thief did not hard reset the phone, you should have most functionality.
i think phones's location should be on and your live id must have been configured.
Hello there!
As this phone doesn't really have its own dedicated area in the forum , i just felt this is the right place to ask for help.
I own this device which was bought on contract from orange romania , and unfortunately it is sim locked.
I have contacted htc regarding this issue and they checked my IMEI but they said that my phone doesn't appear to be locked nor branded by any carrier. In other words , this phone has got a lock on it , but it wasn't htc that put it there, but orange romania.
Do you know any way to unlock it? I would go into a service store but it's hard to find somebody that is capable of unlocking my phone, i have already tried 3 stores in my area and all of them returned a negative result.
I live in italy so i can't go back to orange and ask them to unlock my phone. Even so, if you're still on contract , they charge you 100€ to unlock your device, which is absolutely insane , my phone costs NEW , UNLOCKED 130 € on ebay.
Therefore , any thoughts? I'm willing to test some stuff if you have any idea. Of course , i wouldn't want to brick my phone as i really doubt i can find someone to unbrick it around here, but anyway , i'm open to new ideas.
Thanks in advance!
