UNLOCKING UNIVERSAL

[giovanni140671]

Hello
My Question is if you can down grade the universal to WM2003SE
if you can do that you can use the unlock code we got on this forum
and if it is unlocked up grade to magneto (windows2005)
has anny one done this[/b]

Wouldnt make any difference as the Lock is held in the Radio Rom I beleive.

There also is no wm2003se for universal, it was designed as a 2005 device from start to end.

Nice idea, but I think making a working Unlock tool for the standard universal is a better idea.

im travelling a lot between germany and uk, and therefore want to use my o2 plan simcard as well as my german eplus simcard.

The shop assistant in the o2 shop told me that i CAN use non-O2 simcards in the universal (o2 xda exec) without any problem. Could I also use a Orange PAYG simcard?

How much was it to officially unlock the phone?

thanks

Ive not received mine yet, but its possible they dont lock it. Unlikely though.

Can anyone with an Exec confirm if its provider locked?

[Dingo]

Mine was unlocked on delivery. Also if you search these forums everyone else is reporting theres where not locked.

Can confirm that my Exec wasn't locked, tried both a Vodafone SIM and an Orange PayGo SIM with no problem.

theres no point downgrading to wm2k3....you'll only run into more problems...

wm2k3 is built to share ram for both ram and rom.....so, that means, your 43meg partition would have to be divided....and thats just too bad! So, i guess, you just need to stick with wm5 for the time being....and hope for a good rom update to come by!

Best,
San

I asked the woman at O2 this morning if it's locked and she said it would be... I'll let you know when I get it on Monday.
