Impossible to unlock XDA

---

Hi,

i've a TSM500 (spanish version of XDA2 from movistar carrier). I try to unlock it following the faq but when i run the program i got the following messages:

------------------

Communication port opened
waiting for radio bootloader
reading first block...
reading second block...

the phone seems unlocked already!

-----------------

(see attached)

but the phone is locked, because when i try to use it with another sim card (vodafone for ex.) a popup asking me for the code is shown

some ideas?

thanks in advance

I have exactly the same problem

Orange sim card is requesting code??????????

Please help!

Isn't this the sim code and nothing to do with unlocking fault of your phone? For example the standar 0000 code???

i ve ot a same problem

Hi

I had the same problem
here is what i did

go here [http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6963]

down load this xda2unlock.exe

put the downloaded file on you phone and run from there there is no need to go into bootloader mode

and that was it my orange card that was locked was now ok

I am on Rom 1.60.00 wwe which is dated 12/03/03 this might make a difference

The Unblock program for the xda2, posted above really works. I love you guys for making this available to all.

Cant Unlock

---

Hi

I have a new XDA II - with :
Rom = 1.60.00WWE
Radio = 1.10.00
ExtROM = 1.60.50

I cant :shock: unlock it. If I try the older Bootloader method it says that it is unlocked already. If I try the newer version it says that it succeds but the phone app automatically starts and says the the SIM card is invalid.

Some questions:

Should the Blocked Sim be in the phone at the time?
Should Flight mode be on or off when you start?
Would having a very old Vodaphone Sim card make a difference?

Thanks in advance

This is not what a locked phone does. A locked phone pops up a box for you to enter the unlocking code.

Not sure as I never had a locked phone myself. I will test this.

It should be off the phone should be on.

Yes, I don't think 5 volt cards are supported. Try a SIM that is known to work in the XDA. To make sure you are solving the real problem.

Unlocking XDA II

Thanks for the response.

I have tried a Virgin (T-Mobile) card and it works fine

I have ordered a new Vodaphone SIM - My card dated back to 1998 - It was originally a Credit Card Sized one, with no pop out - so I cut it out!

XDAII is great though - we use Messenger a lot here for contacting clients, I was sitting in the sun today, replying to custards and their problems - if anyone out there hasnt got one and is thinking of it - get it now!!
