Maybe common sense, but why don't you contact the seller (the person/organisation where you bought your diamond) ??
He could probably tell you that....
That would be the best solution for you.....

i send him 2 emails ...............still waiting
however thanks for your reply.............
does the sim unlock sofware work on vista? please

It might help if you identify exactly which sim unlock software you speak of... Me, I don't know. I don't use Vista - nor sim unlock software for that matter...

Do a hard Reset its gonna do the job
and format the INF

i received the password now , but the phone is acting strange........
first it was saying that i entered the wrong password now it just does nothing when i press unlock please help................
as hard reset unfortunately i am finding it quite difficult instead it is performing a soft reset........................
even though ipress vol.up+enter+reset......................

I'd second that.....otherwise everybody is able to erase a password from a phone that simple....just get a phone,erase it with hard reset and that's all.....It shouldn't be THAT simple??
Correct me if i'm wrong....
Neways....good luck with your phone....if it's not gonna work, you just have to send it back I think and claim your money back.....

If hard reset doesn't work, flashing a new ROM certainly would. And try CT Version 6.2 HD ROM by the way. It is very good.

thanks folk for all your help the problem was solved finally , after a hard reset and purchasing the sim/cid unlock software from olipro creations...................
however for myself i found hard reset very difficult to achieve so that with some help (someone pressed the reset button for me ) during the proccedure the hard reset was successful..............................
previously i had the p3450 touch where h/ reset was simpler....................

Locked IMEI

Sorry if this question has been asked before... but is there any way of changing the phones IMEI so one can use it even if the phone has been locked out?
Thanks in advance!
???? by changing the insides of the phone???? It's like a MAC address on a network card, it's there to identify that phone and only that phone. It's pretty much the phones social security number.. I'm sure there is a way to clone the IMEI from another phone but I also doubt any one here will help you do something like that.
prove me wrong..
First, be aware that changing the IMEI of a phone is illegal in every known country.
Second, understand that most users here will assume that you either purchased a stolen phone or stole the phone yourself so you will get little to no sympathy here.
Third, if you are going to say that your from Turkey and don't want to pay the import tarrif to be able to register your phone with the local providers then understand that tax evasion is also a crime so again little sympathy here.
I make no assumptions, simply state the obvious warnings for you.
Also, currently there is no utility to change the IMEI on a Kaiser.
Double and triple what he said above. IMEI change = theft, generally speaking. In the unlikely event that this isn't the case here, please understand that your loss is for the greater good...

Missunderstanding!
I think you missunderstood me, and I am not saying that that is my fault!
Ok, here is the thing!
My friend purchased a tytn II becouse he wanted to have one just like mine, only thing is that somehow he got his locked! So now when he boots up his phone it asks for a password that he does not know, and someone told us that the IMEI is locked and it should be replaced!
That replacing IMEI=theft is to me something completly new!
Sorry for that!
I am not good on how to unlock phones, even tho I do know my way about computers, and I think that this is a very good phone indeed!
I also have a HTC Advantage (X7500)!
Is the phone asking for an unlock code? This has nothing to do with the IMEI. Is the TyTn II unbranded? Or is it from a specific carrier like Orange?
If the phone is from a carrier that is different from the SIM your friend is using, then all you need to do is check out the thread on this forum regarding performing a SIM unlock on the device.
Should he try putting his sim in the phone to see if it's a sim lock?
See now that you've given more info you might get somewhere.
This could be a few things.
If the device is SIM locked then you need to simply insert a SIM from the original carrier and it will continue to the OS.
If your friend applied a password to Windows Mobile then you should be able to do a hard reset by following this:
With the phone off, press & hold the two buttons above "Internet Explorer" & "Messaging" buttons (they are the tiny top ones between the two phone keys & the D-Pad)
Now turn the phone on. Release the two buttons when you see the white screen with the following text:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
Now press the Green Phone Key.
When done it will prompt you to press Send again to restart the phone.
At this point you will be like it was when you first opened the box!

Okey, I told my friend to try a hard reset but he asked me what will happend to all his contacts?
Is there a way to back up the contacts before doing a hard reset?
Thanks in advance!
search for pim backup
If he can't get into the phone then the answer is no.
FWIW, if he did lock himself out of the OS then a hard reset is his only option. Currently he can't sync or anything because the OS is locked.

To bypass the password, you need to hard reset the phone.
Press and hold the two soft keys while doing a soft reset. This will erase all your data, which is a consequence of someone else trying to bypass your password , they won't find anything.
If you pin-locked your sim, you get three tries to input the right pin. If you fail three times, the sim locks and you need to get the PUK code from your provider , but be careful, if you input the PUK code wrong ten times, the sim is permently locked and you wil have to purchase a new sim.
Hi,
I am really glad that somebody try help me, but try read my post .... password in phone, no hard reset, no synchr., it has nothing with SIM card or PIN, PUK code.
It is passw for phone, SIM card is OK I use it in second phone.
Anybody can help me, please.
You can't get pass the password on the phone unless you know what it is. This is to prevent access from third parties if your phone is stolen.
As mentioned above. What you need to do is a hard reset. This will however WIPE ALL YOUR DATA but it will also remove the password.
You have mentioned it won't sync. This is a feature of the password but that also means that when you do do your hard reset, by putting it back into the computer you can restore most if not all of your phone book entries.
Otherwise keep guessing!

you've tried to hardreset your device..??
yeah, htc doesn't react to hard reset,soft and bootloader
almost same story
I have a very similar problem .
The only difference is that my phone is a mda vario IV (t-mobile)
and my download was a different one .
If I turn it on it shows the t-mobile screen and turns off immediately .
Hard reset doens't work since it doesn't react to the soft reset button .
It would be really really awesome if anyone had an idea to solve this/these problem/s

You might have bricked your phone......Try getting into bootloader mode, if ya can do that much you might be able to load one of the custom ROMS or at least the right one
Yes , bricking seems to be the only explanation for this behaviour.
Why on earth did you try to unlock your phone yourself?!
If i have a problem , i go to a service center nearby and pay a fee of almost 10E to unlock my phone.They know what to do , even gine me waranty.
You are not the only brave person i see trying to unlock a headset by himself.A friend holds the record for bricking headsets. In 2 months he bricked not less then 12 headsets because he was to stubborn to take them to a service center.
Some things are best not to be dealt with. I personally am afraid to flash a W6.5 ROM on my headset , because i might end up bricking it.
I remember there used to be many threads related/similar to your problem.
Have you guys tried to search for that issue?
Just an example:

Forgot PIN password for HTC ONE HELP PLEASE

Hello everyone,
I really hope you guys can help me with this problem. Lets start with, I have the international version of the HTC ONE 801e, and today I don't know why but I just set up a random PIN password for the lock screen and I cannot remember it at all :crying: I've tried unlocking it like 100 times I AM NOT KIDDING. I've contacted HTC and they told me that I have to reset my phone to Factory Settings but I really don't want to do that. My carrier is AT&T, I thought about contacting them or going to the store but I wanted to ask you guys first. My phone is not ROOTED it is completely stock everything. I really really really hope you can help me. And if my only option is to reset my phone to factory settings, can you tell me how to access my folders before doing that. Because I have some photos and whatsapp chat backups that I really don't want to lose.
Any help would be appreciated, Thank you,

Enter a random PIN a few times and when it asks you if you've forgotten your PIN say yes and unlock it with your Google account credentials. Then you can set a new PIN and there will be no need to reset your phone.

Thanks for the opinion but that didn't work. I've read tons of threads and the "Google Reset Method" only works if you forget your Pattern lock code. I had to reset it anyway T.T
Hey MrGrey44 was your problem solved without formatting your device? I am also facing same problem on my tab. Here is link to my thread, pls help me out.
