Guest PaulOBrien Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Predictably the G300 is SIM locked. I'll have a look at unlock options... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Disappointing... But expected I suppose. Huawei phones thus far have been cheaply and easily unlocked Let's hope this is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matchstick Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 DC-Unlockers seem to have quite a bit of experience with unlocking Huawei phones so I wouldn't be surprised to see a solution from them very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hecatae Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 here's a suggestion: Download and install dc-unlocker Download and install PSAS Put in different network SIM into the modem, turn it on and connect to to the PC via USB Run DC Unlocker as Administrator, then scan and make sure you can see the device. It will say locked at the bottom next to SIM status. Run PSAS v1.15 as Administrator In PSAS click Hardware Forensics tab, choose "Use Mobile ports" You will be taken to the Setup tab. Set Serial Com Port to COM# - \Device\QCUSB_COM#_1 and Baud rate to 115200 (decrease it to 9600 if PSAS crashes) Now go to PSAS DIAG tab, press the Send button and make sure that text is returned in the white box below. Change Save Memory To File to Read EFS, change Max Page to 5000 and click Alternate Method Click lets go. Save the file to the desktop, and once PSAS is done open it in Notepad.[/code] I have no issue in hunting through the above file produced, if someone wants to follow these steps, to see if we can grab the unlock code via the diagnostics port.

Guest caballeropl Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Somebody here said that they got an unlock code from vodafone over the phone free of charge. Anyone can confirm this? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/huawei-ascend-g300-exclusively-friday-vodafone-for-100-1191391?page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is fairly likely it will say EFS read not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trueno2k Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) only one way to find out... it's either that or QPST Is anyone gonna try one of these tools to see if the methods used for the ZTE devices works with this device?... I haven't got a G300 yet, but very well tempt me if there is a method of unlocking without paying Vodaphone or any other unlocking services (just like Frankish, I'm a cheapskate :P)... I'm guessing we're gonnahave to wait for Huawei to release the original stock rom to help this method work properly?!... Look forward to seeing some progress in the next month or so :D Edited April 16, 2012 by trueno2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roundajr2579 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Hi All. I purchased my new Huawei Ascend G300 only yesterday and applied for a unlock code as I am on the 3 network. I received my unlock code this morning via email and now I have an unlocked handset. The code cost me around £16 from the address below. No messing - it just works. http://unlockphonenetwork.com/ Some others are reporting getting working unlock codes from Ebay too?
