Guest thechosenone Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Reli good for newbie like me who feel not very comforable to give out the imei online. Thanks a lot!
Guest Stooby Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Ar Too - I've just come back after a Christmas break and found your unlocking app. TYVM. Too late to wish you a Merry Christmas, so Happy New Year instead!
Guest leemann Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Thank you very much for this. A very nice and generous gift! Thanks again.
Guest bagge Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Awesome, thanks, even though I already unlocked my device way back when, work like this is always highly appreciated by everyone I'm sure. :( Happy holidays to you too.
Guest Thermostat9 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 HELP!! I tried this and it boots to the unlock screen then when swiped open it says 'The USIM is unsuitable in this terminal. Please insert usable USIM' And then offers an 'Emergency call only' button. So I change the SIM back and the original (not Orange) SIM and it does the same. I'm really stuck..... :(
Guest Arr Too Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 So I change the SIM back and the original (not Orange) SIM and it does the same. Possibly it's just the SIM not being quite seated properly -- there have been many reports that the hardware in this area is not very robust. Check first that the SIM is round the right way, and then check all the connections are clean and the SIM is not wonky. Some people have even reported using some layers of tape to pad out the SIM and make it connect better.
Guest harmohn Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Awesome work Arr Too - great for those who are yet to unlock :(

Check first that the SIM is round the right way, and then check all the connections are clean and the SIM is not wonky. Some people have even reported using some layers of tape to pad out the SIM and make it connect better. Sadly not that. After several attempts with different SIMs, I tried a restore from the backup of the Japanese Jellyfish install I had made the other day. No difference. Did a restore from the back up I made of my original install before doing any flashing. No joy. Running out of options I tried a flash of the basic Orange ROM install zip and with the Orange SIM in it worked. Changed to my Virgin SIM and it asked for an unlock code. Then I did a restore of my Japanese Jellyfish install and it was back to the settings I had the other day. All I did was try the 'Reset attempts and lock' to see if it prompted me for the unlock code when I changed SIM - but it froze me out of my phone. I'll not do it again for now! Actually I'm just 5 days into owning an Android phone and am learning lots - but it does remind me of the mess I used to make in the early days with DOS and a 286. :( (Although I was younger then and cared less)
Guest Arr Too Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I tried a restore from the backup of the Japanese Jellyfish install I had made the other day. Ah... that ROM has some issues with saying USIM stuff a lot -- the Phone.apk has been hacked to prevent some/all of it. Using a stock ROM is probably your best bet for doing an unlock (unless you happen to have the right Japanese SIM card on you!). And using anything bar a ROM based on the Japanese Froyo ought to work for retrying the lock.
Guest john kat Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 old git newbie here saying thank you i used the nextgen server thingy myself, oh joy but 2 of my old git mates have gone and bought one of these phones so this will sort them out
Guest The Alpha Gamer Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 I joined just to get this and it worked like a charm, thanks mate!
Guest Ficus Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 just used your app to unlock my new SF, it worked flawlessy. thanks a lot!
Guest Dave L Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Arr Too I havent even charged up my SF yet, just got it 1 hour ago and well pleased Thank you :unsure: B)

Guest ololizoz Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 So with this you can "relock" your phone again?
Guest Arr Too Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 You can at least make the phone think it is Network Locked again. I'm not sure what goes in the depths of the unlocking process, but to a normal user it will appear to still be locked (and you'll have five attempts to get the PIN right to "unlock" it again).
Guest ololizoz Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) You can at least make the phone think it is Network Locked again. I'm not sure what goes in the depths of the unlocking process, but to a normal user it will appear to still be locked (and you'll have five attempts to get the PIN right to "unlock" it again). So if I need to send it in for repair I can use this to "relock" it again so the service centre wont notice that I unlocked it? Edited January 4, 2011 by ololizoz
Guest Arr Too Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 the service centre wont notice that I unlocked it? Yes, unless they have network data on the unlocking. But the re-prompting may be enough to confuse them. :unsure:
Guest rudey Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 massive thnx m8ty and happy new year
Guest dmartins Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Just wanna say tks!! Excelent job.
Guest harrold Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I would also like to say thanks, I am with Optus and I have a prepaid. When I recharge the phone with $80 they will unlock for free. Now I don't have to spend $80 for a recharge. Thanks Harry
Guest brunosferos Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks Arr Too. Just got my SF and used your app to unlock it. All went without a hitch.
