Default Just wanna unlock....

Hi,
I have a stock TESCO UK locked Wildfire and want to unlock it for using on O2 etc etc.

I'm not fussed about rooting etc, just want to unlock thats all.

I noticed a thread in the development section with stock roms. Could I just plug the phone into the PC and run the top listed froyo RUU? or do they rely on the fact the phone has been rooted beforehand?

Thanks

There is no free way to unlock the network for wildfire ATM, your best bet is to get an unlocking code from a website, I'm not sure which tho as I bought mine already unlocked.

You were not more intelligent, the pound was above the value of the euro, is not being inteligent but is to be realistic. On the other hand, the peseta (the money of Spain) had less value than the euro would be obtained for that reason we join the euro.

The only reason it hasn't come crashing down yet is through contributing countries like us, most countries don't or can't contribute to the euro but only take what is offered. When it does collapse which it will as the contributing countries are starting to question the setup all the countries in the euro will be far worse off than before. We on the other hand will not be worse off apart from the fact of our skint neighbours begging for handouts again and not being able to afford to buy our goods or even create there own to sell to us so yes I believe it was a very intelligent decision not to join a single currency so badly flawed.
