I bought a phone off ebay. When I tried to unlock it it said that the phone was restricted. Is there any way of unlocking it now. I heard you can do it via a cable of some sort

what type of phone? how many times did you try to unlock it? what did you use?

you can unlock phones via cable

It is a Nokia 6101. I used Nokiafreeunlock.com. Tried once and it told me it was restricted. I can only assume that the person who owned it before me had tried unlocking it before I got it. Do you know of anywhere that can do it by cable. Im in Dundalk

afaik it says restricted when its locked. it says something else when you've used up your tries. i could be wrong though. pm wolfman. he can unlock a 6101

Quiet easily, just need IMEI

I'm trying to unlock my wife's Siemens C45, which is locked to Orange at the moment. From what I'd found out so far, I needed a data cable, so I bought one on eBay, which arrived this morning.:) But seeing other posts, I wonder whether it's the correct one

The 9-pin D-type connector for the PC end of things says 'Siemens for/pour/fur RS-232' and the phone end says 'N6' on the side and has all 12 pins present. Is this the correct cable?

I've downloaded some free software which says it can unlock the phone with a cable, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the phone - or at least it says it's waiting for the phone to be powered on, then after ten seconds or so it says 'phone is not powered on':( I;ve tried both leaving the phone off, and powering it on during this 10 second wait, but it seems to make no difference. The software is from modifications.net.

Anybody got any ideas they can offer? Or anybody know other (hopefully free) software which will definitely work?

It could be the O2 SIM is picking up O2's 3G network, but as this hasn't been launched yet wont allow you to make calls?

There should be an option to use GSM only, try that

Codes only from network operator, otherwise you need special unlocking clip

copacetic

hi, not very experienced with phones but used messing with changing firmware on mp3s, messing with computers etc. a few questions:)

1) sure this is being asked a lot but how exactly do you unblock motorola v3 to switch to vodafone (pink!)? previous post mentioned unblocking chip is the only way, how does one go about obtaining such a thing and does it involve opening up the phone/soldering anything like that?

2) what kind of leads needed to unblock? usb that came with phone? or where can you buy whats needed, vaguely remember years ago reading about Mr Calculator off grafton selling them?

3) person in vodafone shop told my girlf that if you unblock a phone you can lose features, eg camera, can these be restored by flashing the phone? or is this just company waffle to discourage people from unblocking. I've read on another post flashing can actually release more features e.g. video recording on v3, why do networks restrict such features? just being fvckers?

4) any major dangers with unblocking and flashing phones, assuming you take your time and do it properly, apart from just losing messages and pictures etc.

5)whats the legal story, assuming theres no problems as we can talk about it on boards, so i guess its not illegal or in violation of contract or anythng to unblock phones. Is there no onus on your network to unblock your phone on request after a certain amount of time or after a certain amount of credit has been spent?

6) if flashing and unblocking is succesful would there be any problems getting the required settings from new network to make mms etc work?

Appreciate any help (in case you didn't notice total noob)

Thanks

1 - Cost approx €250, some phones require opening and connecting a lead to a test point

2 - Leads come with clip

3 - Dont believe that to be true! In fact flashing with generic firmware normally removes restrictions placed by the operator

4 - No, not with proper equipment

5 - Unlocking (i.e. removing SIM restriction) is legal, unblocking (changing IMEI) is not legal in most countries

6 - No, most operators or sites like Nokia, Sony, Motorola will send the settings to you phone

To unlock V3 quickly your best bet is to find someone with a clip and get them to do it, if you live in Wicklow or Dublin I can do it for you

Incorrect codes wont block the phone, i.e. you can still use it, however it means it can only be unlocked via cable.

If you send me the IMEI I will send you codes that work, however if too many incorrect codes are entered you will need to get it professionally unlocked
