landapfel 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2013 Please tell us if this trick works, I also have an Orange CH Blade 3 :) Nope, unfortunately not, even if they write it on their website. So there's actually nothing you can do, they will find all kind of reasons for not having to unlock your phone. So the only way to really unlock the phone is doing a direct unlock with whatever dongle you have lying around. Very sad :( landapfel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Igoritza 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) yeah, thanks for leading me in to the depths of indian internet dude ... as I figured out after 1h search, tool is available only for purchase and it even appears that the Infinity box is cheaper than this tool. real nice share by these Romanians, but only for service shops not for us regular people. The only difference is that box is not required anymore, and we MAY hope that someone is going to piratize this software and once we download it, keep quiet about it. Tool name: Furious Gold QCOM_SMART_TOOL_v1.0.0.8681 price: about 50USD website: dead at the moment (probably some free hosting and whatnot) but should be: www.furiousgold.com Do not search for it, as it is only mentioned in ridiculous indian forums where people butcher english in the worst ways imaginable. there is no link for downloading it, as I have checked the last google page. unlocking procedure: EDIT: QCOM_SMART_TOOL_v1.0.0.8681 is actually an update for the "furious gold" software for unlocking. and these dudes SOMEHOW managed for this piece of software not to be cracked (which is unbelievable cause tool has been around from 2006). so yeah, forget about it.

Signore Oscuro 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2013 sorry dude for my misunderstanding, do you know where I buy code for unlock Zte Blade III with Orange CH? or some alternative method (I hope free) . We wait the unlock method from one of you :) c'mon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zainster 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2013 Hi, Where are you from ? I ask this as I am in the UK and we can buy an unlock code from Virgin Media for £15 (or there about). I don't know about your country. You can always ring up and ask Orange I suppose ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Signore Oscuro 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) So I found this but probably works only with ZTE Blade 1 (not 2 or 3) https://play.google....unlockb03&hl=it "The app "Unlock ZTE Blade" works for ZTE Blade 1 version B03, and the app "Unlock ZTE Blade B04" works for ZTE Blade 1 version B04." ___ is possible that no one works to unlock sim ? so sad :'( Edited May 29, 2013 by Signore Oscuro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daliborhes 4 Report post Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) What will happen if I restore a backup of a custom rom or a stock firmware from another Blade 3 device that has allready been unlocked?

landapfel 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 The problem is that because of law the whole mobile network stuff can't be done by the system itself and there has to be a separate baseband processor to do it for you. And normally you can't flash a new radio because it's locked. Some phones afaik allow you to flash signed radios. Direct Unlock basically hacks your phone and flashes a new radio (without the restriction) afaik. That's why this works and code attempts don't. landapfel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
