You're a star Arr Too. Sincere thanks.

Just did the mates phone on the nextgen site got the code loaded an O2 sim but went straight to the normal screen :(

Thinking the phone was already unlocked ( bought 2nd hand ) went to network settings and did a search for networks chose O2 but got a message saying "not allowed on this network".Anyone came across this ?

[Guest Blümchen Blau]

Hi

I have just used the above, put in my imei number and now got an NCK 8 digit code. What do I now do with that (soz!)

Cheers

Few people mentioning here http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-san-francisco/ that the simple unlock method doesnt work for them, is there anyone also for whom the unlock method doesn't work or does it still works?

Sorry to ask and have doubts but I plan to buy this phone and I dont know any other way to unlock if it doesnt work with this method, please reply

Thank you

Which unlocker did you guys use? Do you need a different unlocker depending on which GEN device you have?

Thanks

Any ideas on my post above?

-- Original post --

I got my unlock code from NckCodes, but it looks like this site works FOR FREE!!!!

http://www.nextgenserver.com/calculator/

Put your IMEI in, select ZTE, leave the default model as ZTE BLUEBELT, pop in the not-a-robot code. In the box above the IMEI you'll receive your code. Gave me the same code as Nckcodes sent me.

Some further instructions so you don't have to look elsewhere (and see also Paul's video below):

1. Use the dialler and enter this to see your IMEI: *#06# (don't press Call!).
   
2. Get your unlock code from the site above.
   
3. Double-check you used the correct IMEI number -- it's free to retry!
   
4. Turn off your phone.
   
5. Open the back.
   
6. Remove the battery.
   
7. Remove the (Orange?) SIM card.
   
8. Insert a SIM card from a different operator.
   
9. Replace battery.
   
10. Replace back.
    
11. Turn on phone.
    
12. (If prompted, enter any personal [4-digit?] PIN number that you may have set on the new SIM.)
    
13. Now you should be prompted to enter the 8-digit unlock code ("SIM network unlock PIN"). Do it carefully!
    

This free code calculator is also available at their parent site:

Note: if you have problems with getting a Data connection on your new SIM then you're probably running a ROM that doesn't include the APN settings for your new phone service provider. You can remedy this by adding the correct APN details manually by following the advice in this thread.

Hi I followed your method and the unlock worked perfectly. I am in Spain and have installed my movistar sim card. After unlocking the device I get "error validating phone number" - try again. I cannot get out of this situation and would appreciate any advice on how to. :)

As you have unlocked successfully it is probably worth posting this in a more sensible place (perhaps a thread of its own, or search for the error message and post in one of those threads). Would be helpful if you specified exactly when you get this error message, too.

[Guest ShahinTehShiz]

Does this also work on the newer Gen 2 devices? (Both the arrto.x10 site and the app)

Thanks

[Guest Arr Too]

I don't remember any reports that it doesn't work. Which specific Gen2 device are you worried about? (The Orange SanFran is still a Gen1, running 2.1.)

[Guest hairclips]

Thanks for the great info....used your app and now have my phone unlocked.....soooooooo easy!!

BRILLIANT!

Thanks!
