**** WARNING n00b Question *****
I'm a techy at heart in the network security field but this is the first attempt I've made at (bricking) my phone. I've recently purchased an MDA Compact IV because I love the style and feel but I'm with Orange not t-mobile.
I've added the latest updates from the absolutely marvelous xda-developers site and am very pleased indeed. Will be donating very soon.
Main reason for upgrading is to get rid of the pink display and to unlock the sim so as to use with Orange.
So has anyone been able to unlock the MDA Compact IV? Or is there something I'm missing?
Thank you all for the brilliant site.
My dutch compact IV didn't even have a simlock . So just try another sim-card before you try to unlock the thing, maybe it isn't needed.
i have a MDA and it's not looked...you can use it with any simcard
I wish mine was....
I've tried 3 Orange sim's and still the same thing:
Top left corner SIM Lock
followed by white screen saying
Network is locked, Please input unlock code
I've called t-mobile to ask for the code saying I was traveling to the states they replied "It will be £15 and you have to wait till you've been with us for 1 month"

DrRavel, is yours a UK T-Mobile phone? Mines is certainly locked to TMob!
mine is locked as well in uk
Well whatever you do don't use this useless service...
unlocksearch.com Stupid me didn't read that in fact it doesn't unlock your phone just reports to you how you may go about it, things you already know. Out £2.99 I'm kicking myself now.
Tried another site instantunlockcodes.co.uk and it looked more promising but in the end £4.10 later no joy. At least they said if I could use the service again to unlock one they could unlock..... They already have my money!
Why couldn't they just give you a complete list of which ones they can do?????
I'm tired of walking around with two phones, I will gladly pay to have my MDA Compact IV unlocked, provided it can be done....
pay tmobile £15. thats what i did

this, simply follow the instructions from Olipro
HTML:
FULLY CHARGE YOUR PHONE, CONNECT IT TO ACTIVE SYNC ON THE PC
STEP 1:
Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from folder STEP1, allow the flash and reboot and let it finish all its tasks on first boot
STEP 2:
Run DiamonCustomRUU.exe from folder STEP 2, allow the flash, and reboot and let it finish all its tasks on boot
STEP 3:
Copy DiamUnlock.exe from folder STEP 3 onto the the 4GB storage card of the phone, now goto file explorer in the phone, and run DiamUnlock.exe, it will open up the options to SIM UNLOCK and SECURITY UNLOCK - tick these boxes and press UNLOCK
If all is well it will say UNLOCKED, now reboot your phone with any simcard in, YOUR DIAMOND IS NOW UNLOCKED !
(Older versions of DiamUnlock.exe closed very quickly and you had to try many times to click on the unlock buttons, I have included the fixed version I think that does not close quickly and should be very easy to unlock)

Here is v0.1 of the Wings S730 Sim unlocker.
Steps:
- connect your phone and make sure activesync icon is green
- run the file Simunlocker.bat
- after short time notepad will open and show the unlockcode
- insert a "strange" SIM and enter the unlockcode when prompted
I'm not sure if it works, but it's worth a try. It cannot harm your phone in any way.
I have an original HTC S730... do I have simlock then?
Is there any S730 with simlock? I thought there isnt

No, your T-Mobile Wing (Atlas) is another model.
Drop me a PM and I make you a reasonable offer to SIM unlock your phone.
Too bad, no unlock Jocky . I get an unlockcode from your app, but it doesn't work.
Bagatov; Every HTC (even the newest/first ones) shipped to providers that request simlock (most do, but probably no simlock when buying from 3th party with subscription extention i.e. The Phone House).
Jocky; If you need any beta-testing (I have a whole range of HTC products here (TyTN, S710, S730, Touch, Touch Dual, TyTN II). Also direct contact with HTC) gimme a PM.
Hmm not working here, simlocked S730 from Holland (KPN). Anyone knows what i can do ?
i can get a Wings for sure contact me for experiments
If is possible to unlock HTC S730 from Telenor Mobil network
When I put my sim card in to mobile,unlock code is required.Please advise if it is possible to get this number and how?
I try to use Simunlock-Wings-V0.1 and notepad opens with following
"975
UN_Lock_code=120812"
After all I am not sure weather I have to type 975 first ?When I type the number 120812 the unlocked code is asked again .Have you got any suggestions what to do?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

You're not really in a position to make demands Naniboro!!
He's making something for us (the community) for free(?) and not for you personally. Probably in his spare time too, so if you want something free or soon, go watch the sun come up or the rain falling.
Jocky, take it easy, some people want it all, for free and yesterday.

This is what I got from "Notepad" after running the program:
"á›ìÿë ê *ã*á *áÔìÿ"
Additional info: I'm using a cooked ROM (OpenTouch by Ttran). Is that why this happens??? Am I supposed to use it with the original ROM???
Wat to do now ????
I got me a Touch Diamond in the rounder shape of the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV. It came in a sealed box from eBay and I've used unlocking software that I also found on eBay. As it turns out, this software seems to originate from this forum.
As far as I've researched it, right after the lock was removed, the phone started sending SMS messages to the number SMS032837 each time it is reset (since I've never used this phone locked it *could* have done this already, but I doubt it). Even if I switch off the GSM radio, and then reset, the phone waits for the radio to come back on and immedately sends a message.
I have no clue to what's the message is about or whoever is the recipiant but that's not the main issue here; it should not do this, period.
ROM: 1.37.110.3
Radio: 1.20.OliNex
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09U
Anyone any idea what is going on?
TIA,
XDArjen
sorry i dont have any idea
try this steps
1-try hard reset
if not work
2- you have an old ROM so
upgrade it to the latest ROM for your country or use cooked ROM if you want
Could a program similar to RemoteTracker be installed on your Diamond ?
That would explain the SMS, as the software detects that you changed the SIM card.
yea sounds like some program like remotetracker, try flashing a new ROM, as i assume it's build into the ROM by the seller, no idea why though.

Hi,
I`ve got MDA Compact IV on T-Mobile UK with original ROM and Radio (I just need to) and I`ve noticed that after every re-boot it sends above mentioned by you text.
Actually, it sends 2 texts: 1st to 32837 (on the on-line bill it`s clasified as
"unbranded" and it`s free of any charge)
2nd to 100203005 (clasified as "SMS text messaging" and it is also free).
I was surprised as well, so started to investigate.
I`ve found that above texts got something to do with W`n Walk service and T-Mobile My Faves and they are like a system messages.
They are NOT using any of the tariff allowances and they are completely free.
I`m sure because I`m checking my bill very carefully every month and it is my 3rd bill since I started using Compact IV.
I think that every HTC Diamond and MDA Compact IV sends those texts when logging into GSM Networks, but not every network provider shows them on their bills. With T-Mobile it shows on My T-Mobile On-Line account, but not on any paper or electronic bill.
There is more info about the case on other forums, just "google" them numbers and you will find it.
So, DON`T PANIC, everything is in order.
P.S.
My handset is unlocked and I was using foreign SIM card with, whilst on holiday and I haven`t noticed any extra charges for above texts, nor any other problem.
Regards.

Hey snark_be,
I'm not sure, it's a brand new T-Mobile that I got in a sealed box. The owner got it as an upgrade but didn't want it. So it came locked to T-Mobile and I had to unlock it since I'm not a T-Mobile customer.
Could T-Mobile be using this tracking method? The seller of the unlocker could have added it, I don't know, he hasn't answered my email (yet).
The SMS goes anytime the device boots, not just after inserting the SIM.
HTC ROM upgrade site rejects my serial number if I want to download a new ROM.

That was the plan, but that seem's a bit of a hornet's nest. Can I assume safely that the T-Mobile is a true HTC Touch Diamond? Will I be able to return to non-brick if something doesn't work? I mean when I install Hard-SPL first (it's installed already by the unlocker, but an older version, like 1.24)?

Tom, they show up on my bill, so I have to pay for them. And my provider logs them as International calls.
I don't have the luxury of sitting idle because it make the device useless as a phone. I will peruse the forum about this matter but I was already planning upgrading the ROM as I find the device very unresponsive.
have a look in the rom section here and install a new one

Just flash the latest HardSPL, 1.93 I think, and then head over to the Diamond Wiki and download/flash the newest WWE ROM you find (1.94 I think).
Hello peeps, i finally received my G1 today... Happy!
Two things i would like to know i do have a t-mobile sim here but i dont get t-mobile service in Australia so i will need to unlock it.
What would be the best way of going about this... could you point me in the best direction for the cheapest and safest Australian Unlock codes , other thing is somewhere i read its possible to skip the gmail bit and activate it later also someone said to me it was possible to start the wireless connection to enter those gmail details so i dont need a sim with data....
So main question is with a t-mobile sim here is it possible to access the phone without having it unlocked and without t-mobile service?
The other thing is i have heard going around is that dev images have unlock strings would this allow me to use a Australian sim to enter the details at the start without having to pay for unlock??
Call t-mobile to get the phone unlocked, they are quite relaxed with the unlock codes, secongany dev based rom something like cyan' s rom will allow you to skip the g-mail reg when you boot up and connect via wi-fi, even hero roms have that option
I tried messaging t-mobile but they said i needed proof of perches because i don't have a t-mobile account

As far as unlocking goes...? This is how to do it after you get the code.
http://www.blogsdna.com/2357/how-to-unlock-t-mobile-g1-phone.htm
or
Try Unlock-tmobileg1.com which charges $23.99 USD.
Search unlock g1 in the forum search bar to pull up some old threads about unlocking your phone, pretty sure that you would find a similar problem to your's there than I could give you I have t-mobile in the us, I am sure I have seen posts like your's solved in some old threads
Ok I understand that these programs do it;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_SIMUnlock
So I was gonna use OliNex's HTC Diamond Unlocker as its cheaper,
So I just put in my IMEI and pay and it sends me some software through e-mail right...
I was just wondering what the process is with this software, is it very easy to use? Like just sync the device and then run the program and then wait for it to complete or is it more complicated?
My phone is locked on T-Mobile and I'm wanting it on Orange as I have a few months left on my contract.
Any help would be appreciated, think Im gonna try and give it a go tonight as I cant right to play with the phone!
Just to let you's know I did it now and it worked fine...
Its just an exe file that you run and it has three processes that are all easy to follow onscreen!
Even a newby like me did it
ive search all threads but found nothing
my phone is network locked, dont work with my sim card.
the cell phone imei has no restrictions. i dont have a t mobile sim card to make a account.
when i try the t mobile app to try unlock, says : this devices is not eligible for unlock. for device unlock elegibility details, please go online or contact customer care (server error : error code 255)
ive search this error code but again, found nothing.
the device dont recognize on my computer, tried reinstall lg drivers several times. Coz i trought if i could change the rom, i could make it work (with comes with other problem, in lg site of kdz there is only t mobile roms for download, my model is LM-V405TA, i dont know if other model will work with no problem). who sold me, told me the phone become locked after a update software he made (the phone worked beforeo, a long time ago, i saw it), so maybe if i downgrade to oreo, even t mobile, maybe works, dont know. or if as mentined above, any other model kdz to flash could work, but as i said, the phone dont recognize on computer, eiter download mode or normal mode
and by my search, my phone cannot be rooted (someone mentined some "soldering stuff", what i wont do).
so my question is: there is really no other way to fix this ? i really have to pay almost 100$ to this sites that send a unlock code?
thanks from all my heart for who could give me some directions.
i can now use lgup and flash kdz. i did flash t mobile oreo but still locked network. Im almost sure if i flash the right kdz (clean with no carrier), i will solve this problem. But i cant find in the whole web for my model.
Yah, seems like im really and totally f.up. If this forum cant help, nothing can. Ive found some guy who fix this but too expensive, i cant afford. But thanks for who at least did read this thread.

They asked 450 reais i my country (smthing about like almost 100 dollars). They said If my phone was spring, they could not unlock in anyway. Ive made a call to TMobile costumer support. They said in my case, th only way to unlock with them in tradicional way is If the previous owner pay his debits, but the account is closed. So im my case, the only thing i can do (im note sure, i really trust in this fórum but this time i had no help for at least directions or someone to Tell me How this works and what to do or not or what can or not can be done) is make a PayPal account and pay 70 dollars to some well know site do this job (my fear is If threre is any chance for them( when i say "them" i reffer to TMobile) to lock again after some time). But i guess we both are alone on this. So what i know and can share with you (im not sure but its what Ive heard), srints cannot be unlocked.
