dont just be give up mate because they all bought unlock phone even me upgrade from orange but the phone is unlock.. in my opinion you may try to flash full rom might be help but i'm not sure

[Guest martin1234]

thanks for your input cheers

[Guest Reuben (MY)]

if the phone is lock to certain ISP, you'll have to buy unlock code.

will this post of Paul (MVP) helps? if only it's due to wrong regional setting, then it worth a try.

Change Regional Setting

Press the 'dial' key to the left of the optical pad to bring up the dialer

With the onscreen keypad input *#1546792*#

Select 'Preconfiguration'

Enter code *#81230*# and select OK

Select your country, with the default Operator

Accept this, DEVICE WILL HARD RESET (need to wait a while without any response, but it will soon be rebooted)

if everything ok then maybe you can try reflashing new rom.

[Guest martin1234]

you are a diamond just for posting a reply,

i have just bought a code from www.unlocksamsung.co.uk

[Guest martin1234]

[Guest Reuben (MY)]

[Guest martin1234]

Hi,

I got my new branded T-mobile UK omnia yestarday - the omnia is locked.

i took a leap of faith and flashed to HI1. all went smooth, but i can tell you the omnia is still locked, and

i'm also w8ing for the code to unlock it.

so as concluded flashing won't solve the simlock problem.

Good day.

[Guest martin1234]

hi how did you flash it , and is it a better firmware many improvments ? thanks for posting

Hi,

i just followed the instruction on the thread regarding the new rom.

downloaded and installed the samsung modem driver, and followed what was written.

currently i can't compare the two roms, because the old one was installed for a day ( i got the device thursday evening). and also it is still sim locked.

but maybe you can wait with flashing, because soon a newer version should arrive ( HI2, according to secany topic), so maybe you could upgrade directly to that version.

[Guest martin1234]

thanks mate, i have xgh5 on mine, original,still finding my way around the phone, i have come from a nokia 6680, what a good phone,anyway still working out where the satnav is , i can not find it, maybe i have to install it, thanks anyway,still waiting for my code, 29 hrs now

Thanks

Try this one, it work on most samsung phones

Call 112 and during calling press *2767*3855#. After phone restarts type *7465625*638*00000000*00000000#, then #7465625*638*00000000#. Maybe it will work

someone have tryied ?

112 is the international number for the emergency services.

Do not be an idiot and trust this information.

It's not funny. I realise you've probably just copied it and not known any better though.

112 in indeed the international emergency number and *2767*3855# is the factory reset (hard reset) code for the omnia, at least according to posts here refering to other samsung models (and on samsung-omnia.org).

In this post http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-omnia-h...ia-diagnostics/ there are a lot of codes and explantions which I have not tested. But that post confirms that: *#7465625# - (Executes WindowsPersonalize.exe %LOCK_STATUS_INFO) Shows the status of the Network, Service Provider, SIM or Corporation lock.

I've tested it and it works, without the need for the hard reset or dialling 112. Just dial *#7465625#. It also seems that here those settings can be altered - I have not tested for fear of a hard reset.

Check out the link. It has a lot of info.

edit: ok, I've tried the sim lock viewer code, but now I have a question:

sim/usim shows unlocked, as well as service provider and corporate, but network lock is active. What does this mean? Can I use sim cards from other operators? My phone is branded, btw.

Your phone is locked to the Operator's Network you bougth the phone.

You can't use sim from other operators.

[Guest abs_rio]

if you want your omnia unlocked, try www.kingmobilephone.co.uk, i received the code within 24 hours, worked no problem.

ive used him so many times before, hes very reliable and trustworthy.

[Guest Borce Georgiev]
