Guest gitf@ce Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks again for your efforts Tilal :) I must admit you were getting me excited there. I can't face the thought of phoning Orange to ask (again) what has happened to my £10 credit, when I made no calls, sent no text and only used wifi!?!? I'm going to box my Skate up and shove it up into the attic until my 3x months is up... then I will be FREE :P (after they have extracted twenty quid from me of course :angry:). Just in case someone wants to take up the lead, posting your progress would be very helpful I'm sure. GF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 What would a new sim locked OMC sell for on ebay...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris_67 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just registered to say thank you Tilal! Since I do not live in France, my SFR-Locked Staraddict will act as a good ZTE-Pod-Touch until I get an unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I will post everything I learnt later today. Also I was very close so someone should be able to unlock it fairly soon. The other reason why I can't try to unlock is that I've been banned by my parents. So if you don't have this problem it should be a fairly simple task. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DB006 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think things will get better when someone uploads a rom from one of the new unlocked ZTE Skates tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gitf@ce Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think things will get better when someone uploads a rom from one of the new unlocked ZTE Skates tbh Hasn't that already happened? I thought someone on here tried that but it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hasn't that already happened? I thought someone on here tried that but it doesn't work. What he means is a fully factory unlocked and debranded Skate. BTW if anyone wants any info about what I've learnt about the unlock just PM me.

Guest tillaz Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 a least you tried, it will happen eventually im sure of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I don't think it will be happening here in forum.... there is money to be made unlocking, so maybe a small army of hackers are racing to get it on the internet for 10 or 20 quid a go...

Guest tillaz Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) I don't think it will be happening here in forum.... there is money to be made unlocking, so maybe a small army of hackers are racing to get it on the internet for 10 or 20 quid a go... thats wot i mean it will be unlockable at some point.... for a fee or not it will happen just takes time. personaly i would be happy paying £10 donation or fee just to be rid of orange for good Edited September 16, 2011 by tillaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest c4lvin79 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi This is my first post on the forum, I've bought an OMC but haven't had to wait 3 months to get it unlocked. I called Orange last week and they've already sent the unlock code. Just thought I'd let you know it's worth just calling up to ask. Now to try installing a new ROM...

Orange asked me the same thing, i've been on Orange since 2001, how long have you been on Orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4lvin79 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Orange asked me the same thing, i've been on Orange since 2001, how long have you been on Orange? 2-3 years and i've only put an additional £10 credit on since purchase.

Guest wrtease Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 so have you actually got the code ?and does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Navie Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 2-3 years and i've only put an additional £10 credit on since purchase. I only ask because I think Orange give the unlock code to those who have been on Orange for a longtime, I have been on Orange with the same number since 2001.

Guest dadashi Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 no unlock news...? What happened to the momentum we had here, everybody lost interest or something...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gitf@ce Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) no unlock news...? What happened to the momentum we had here, everybody lost interest or something...? Only tilal6991 appeared to be doing anything and he got banned by his parents. I don't think we will see much happen here, but as unrandosam has speculated: "If anyone unlocks this I think it will be : Furious Team (~20€) DC Unlocker team (~20€ (if they are before furious) or 10€) (in that order). Its possible it can already be done using a riff box. (Supports the blade already)." So maybe an outside source with a pecuniary interest IS our best bet.

Guest wrtease Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 well their was supposed to be details posted of how things went about the unlock but never appeared.so yes its all quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest den169 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Just my opinion but i think there might have been a lot of bs being talked by certain members.And probably didn't know what they were doing in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
