    Hi,

    What's the hitch? Everybody else charges for this. You do it for free?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,750 ✭✭✭sxt


    I have nothing to do with this website but you can pay me to use the service if that makes you feel better:P

    I'm guessing this company has released this software for free as it is a pretty good way for advertising themselves?

    I unlocked my phone using this software so it helped me.Hope it works for others.

    anyone know if it is possible to unlock a k800i for free??


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,234 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    that sites a gift, just unlocked one in 60 seconds, couldn't have been easier...thanks;)

    Hey I tried that site to unlock a w910i but it doesn't work.

    It stops at the please connect your phone and press 2-5 part. I pressed 2-5 but nothing seems to happen, could it be because I don't have the drivers installed on my computer?


    Or is the w910 which the site says can be unlocked with this unlocker, different from the w901i?

    first of all start up the program, then log into the site in the program, turn off your phone..
    have the usb cable plugged into the phone, hold the 2 and 5 button (don't let them go until it's fully unlocked, you will see success written on the screen)
    then plug the phone into the computer, hit unlock, the program will detect the phone and start the unlock process (keep the button held the whole time)

    Did all those steps, just to confirm my phone is a w910i. It still; hasnt worked.


    When i press 2-5 it just says "phoone functions unavailable during mass storage session


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,234 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    you have to turn off your phone before pluggin it in to the computer and when you plug it in make sure you have the 2 and 5 button held all the time..

    you shouldn't see anything on the screen as the phone should look off..

    your not doing something right...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 232 ✭✭nikolaitr


    Did exactly what you said,

    selects w910, clicked unlock, held 2-5, plugged phone in, phone was off and screen was blank....nothing else happened

    hold 2 and 5, plug in phone, wait until the software recognises it, then hit unlock...
    if the phone isn't being picked up by the software you need to install the driver, follow this below...
    when you plug in the phone (when it's powered on) did a windows box appear, windows need to locate driver software, you should hit let windows find the software automatically, do this with the phone on, then try the unlock process again once the driver is installed..

    I dont have the windows drivers for the phone loaded up because my computer is 98 and the drivers are xp, is that the problem then?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,265 ✭✭✭MiCr0


    almost certainly


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,234 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    yea sounds like the problem, i'm using vista ultimate, works a treat..


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    because my computer is 98

    Wow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭cojomo2


    take it this wont work for the k530i? Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,212 ✭✭✭✭Tom Dunne


    This is certainly worthy of inclusion in the sticky.

    I'll have Random work on it over the weekend. :D

    Edit: Unlocking Sticky updated with a link to this thread.

    Hi Guys

    Hopefully someone can help me with this program i'm trying to unlock a C905 and a W705 both supported by this program

    I've installed all software supplied with the phone and all are working in the normal ways(data transfer/mass storage etc.) but when i try to unlock it never detects any devices.

    I've downloaded the program and registered and when i get to plug in the phone holding 2+5 i get an information baloon saying "software download" but when the installation wizard searches the disc it says it cant find the software.

    Any ideas

    Thanks

    Exactly the same is happening for me! I have a W890i Anyone?


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,234 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    read what I said earlier in the thread, if you following the instruction to the letter it will work. every phone i've tried to unlock has worked...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 219 ✭✭dbar


    The issue appears to be the driver, the automatic windows installer wont work, it cant find the driver, (with the cd installer in) even though the pc suite works fine.

    the phone has to be on when you first plug in the phone but it has to be off when you want to unlock, if the screen lights up or displays a message your doing something wrong


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,523 ✭✭✭✭Nerin


    Freakin sweet! I'll be trying this later! When its unlocked does that mean i can have the full phone features unlocked(not blocked by meteor) or will i need to install new firmware?

    Still no Joy, it picks up the phone no problem while its on, as soon as I turn it off I get a hardware error message.
    Ah well, off to the unlockers!

    Did the drivers install? :confused:

    That was my intial problem when I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I forgot to install the drivers. I spent ages pulling my hair :p

    It is as easy and quick as drunkmonkey has explained but maybe their is an issue with whatever computers you are running? On the installing drivers link below it shows different methods for manually installing drivers if the drivers do not automatically install? , or else maybe just use a different computer

    And also youtube is good if you want to see a person unlocking a phone using their usb cable. Here are some youtube links here ,there maybe better ones but these are the first that I found ,in the second part you would press 2 and 5 together instead of c .

    eh I think I know where your going wrong, your turning off the phone when it's plugged in and then holding the buttons..
    Plug out the phone and trurn it off, then keep the buttons held and plug it in again, they phone should not turn on but the software should pick it up, then hit unlock, presto, phone unlocked...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭Paulegend

  • Registered Users Posts: 28,234 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    not if you follow the instructions for the unlock, if you don't know follow the instructions exactly anything could happen...

    hi drunkmonkey

    maybe you could shed some light for me

    i'm pretty sure all drivers are installed when i plug in the phone using 2/5 the program picks it up then when i press unlock it turns the phone on and prepares for mass storage

    or if i press unlock 1st the plug in holding 2/5 again it finds phone and attempts unlock it gets as far as "Sending loader..." then next line is failed. It's a w705

    Any ideas
