Athena Parts - Where Can I Get Them?

Another post has prompted me with this one....
My Athena has a sizeable scratch on the screen. It also is a bit scuffed. Yes I know it's my fault and I'm not blaming anyone but me - I just take it everywhere!
Now I can take phones to bits as well as the next man - I'm ok with a solder and I'm stable with a screwdriver: In fact I love it!
But let's say I want to change my screen, case or (god forbid) I manage to burn out my phone - does anyone know where I could get all the parts I'd need from?
Maybe the answer to this is more obvious than I think, but google certainly doesn't help!
Also If anyone has a knackered Ameo I can buy to take apart and toy with PM me.

have tried ordering from HTC?

Yes but I didn't really get anywhere with them.
I just got a number for an official repair centre....not sure they want to sell their parts to oiks like me!

Tried them but they only list a toolkit under their parts and i can't ring them as they're based in the u.s.!

Possible source for HTC Advantage parts...
You might want to try these folks:
http://www.cnn.cn/shop/
They don't have the Advantage listed but they may still be able to get parts.

dial this number first then when promted dial in your US number (ONLY USE THIS FROM A LANDLINE)
0844 861 78 78
Total cost to you for calls the US is 1P per minute
There is no account to setup or anything you just get charged 1p per min on your landline phone bill
I use it all the time
Dont forget, the US is between 5~8 hours behind us

Sim Unlock - Please explain like i'm a 3 y.o.

I've trawled through the forums to get a definitive answer, but to no avail. I'm on Orange UK with the Kaiser, and I intend to move to Ireland next week (semi-permanent), and no company in Ireland is offering a decent phone.
I want to unlock my Kaiser, so I can use another company's sim. I am aware of imei-check, and I'm comfortable shelling out for a paid solution.
My questions are these:
1. will sim unlocking the phone be permanent,
2. is there any circumstance where it would be necessary ever to repeat the procedure?
3. Will the code generated by imei-check be a constant, that I could use again if necessary (same phone obviously)
4. What's the estimated lead time for a free solution?
Plaudits for the definitive answers!

1.sim unlock is permanent
2.should only need to do it once
3.1 code for 1 handset
4.there probebley will be a free sim unlocker available soon but your best bet is to just ring orange and ask for a subisdy pin they will probebly charge you but it will defo work and not void your warenty as it is the network that has provided you with it

TY
Thanks for that. If there's a free unlocker by Sunday, then happy days. If not, I'll give imei-ckeck some hard earned. Life's a ***** lol.
As I promised, Plaudits to you for the answers, Yakleback

don't think that there will be something until sunday, cause the only known to me unlocker-project ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355345 ) hasn't been started.
regarding posts at this board, imei-check works good with no problems,
otherwise you can call you net-operator and ask for a free unlock-code cause you leave the country for longer time and want to use a local sim in your phone. just use the search-function, some people does so with ATT and get a free code, perhaps it works

in the uk t-mobile charge £15 vodafone charge £20 and i know O2 charge but dont know how much so i asume orange would charge as well but probebly wont be more than £20

a free one doesn't appear to be on the verge from anyone here...it'll either just show up with a surprise, or announced and a lead time for deployment, which means sunday ain't looking good

Sunday...
Yeah, I was being facetious about Sunday. Looks like imei-check will be getting some cash tonight then...

Calling T-Mobile for G1 Unlock

Hey there guys. Please don't be angry for making another ****ty "how to unlock G1" thread. I wanted to post in the recent one, but i guess it got closed.
Well here is my question. I'm about to trade my TyTn II for G1. The problem is that the G1 is bought in Austria(T-Mobile) and i live in Slovenia. If i'm gonna call T-Mobile what should i say? My english isn't all that great, but i think i can handle it. The only problem is, if they are gonna speak German...
Lets say, they speak english. What should i say? I don't think you just say:" hey could you give me the code to unlock my G1?"
Maybe i'm a little annoying, but if there is anyone who is willing to help, i will be very grateful.

Think the policy is a lil different in other countries other than the US. We would normally say we are going out of the country so we need to unlock it to use an alternate sim. But in the UK they charge a fee unless you have been a customer for over a certain amount of time. I know its alot longer than the 90 days we have.

So there is no way to unlock it?
Edit: This is legit right? http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
Cause if there isn't other way i'll just pay those 19€. That isn't so expensive.

My advice is buy one off eBay. Reasoning being, any website like that can make all the fake testimonies they want, and you could get screwed very easily. If you go to ebay you can choose a seller with good feedback who is clearly legit. I think I got mine from GSMcredits or something...

Thanks for the advice! That really helped me. I went to search over Ebay and found some interesting offers. And they are actually cheaper then the site i gave you link before!
Anyway, i think this is 100% legit, since this seller is very popular.

Calling T-Mobile only works if you are a current customer. If you aren't (and I assume that is the case) then find someone who is to call for you.

As long as they give you the correct code it will work on any G1, so you should be fine. That seller looks legit, due to the high rating too.

Thanks for the answer! I'm getting my G1 on Monday then!

Yay. I got my white G1 today and i bought a code of ebay from the guy mentioned few posts above. Payed 10€ and got the code within 15min. Phone is now unlocked and i can't be more satisfied! G1 is awesome

Sweet, I had to unlock mine the first week cuz tmobile gets bad service here. The first site you posted is where I got my code, so they are legit. And don't worry about rooting and flashing roms because it wont mess up your unlocked status.

Cool. Thanks for the info!

Just thought I'd add that I've (just) used the guy mentioned above (ebay profile link) to have my UK G1 unlocked and it worked just fine.
The code came within 10 minutes, tested and works OK.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 unlock

Can anyone recommend somewhere to unlock the X8 without having to take out a bank loan please?
Everywhere I have found so far costs a lot of money!
Any help appreciated! Thanks.

If you can root it you can unlock too I think try to search in X10 forums not ahve big differences from x10 mini pro

Not every site does the X8 though even if they do the X10\mini. Maybe it's because it's a newer phone? $40 to unlock a phone is too much!

bitye are you sure you can unlock it if you root the system? my wild guess is that the network lock trigger must be somewhere within the system, or at least the system can access it, therefore it pops up. does anyone know where this file can be found and how to edit it?
i've been searching the hell out of forums and never found any info relating to that. please share

I had my X8 unlocked by http://www.htccode.com/, was unlocked within 10 mins of payment

what network was your phone locked to?
did they send you software to unlock your phone with or did you send imei and they sent you an unlock code to enter

my phone was origionally locked to o2 - UK

did they send you software to unlock your phone with or did you send imei and they sent you an unlock code to enter?

basically they send you the software for the phone, but they do remote session you for a min, was a bit dubious at first but all was good

i tried that through someone else but didnt work and said remote dongle server not working, were you given credits to unlock? if so do you know how many you had/used to unlock?

they dealt with the unlock remotely, I just sat and waited till it was completed

well its worth a go for the price.

but i do advise u wait till online supports online, it cost me $40.00 USD initially see here http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3160

were they online today when you did it then?
it isnt working for me but then i only paid 20$ because thats the link i had, do u reckon i need to pay another 20$ to have a total of 30 credits?

they were online the night i done it, sorry i should have said that sooner, erm i'd suggest messaging them regaurding that, i'm sure you would be able to get it unlocked with the additional $20 :\

anyone know what the hours are for the live support on htc code?

For anyone in the UK
$40.00 USD = £25.1969 GBP at time of posting...

£25.82 through paypal to be more precise.

Hehe I have no idea get it unlocked in the end?

yeah should have it unlocked tomorrow, they sent me all the remote software stuff and all the login details, i'll report back tomorrow.

That's weird because I ordered from, after trying several other companies, and they refunded me straight away saying that the code is not available.

Dear Simon,
We are pleased to inform you that the unlock service for your:-
HTC One (IMEI: xxxxxxx........)
LOCKED TO THE NETWORK: 3, United Kingdom
which you purchased from the website we operate at:-
MOBILEUNLOCKS.CO.UK
at: 24th Apr 2013 19:48
is now ready for collection.
Please now read the rest of this email very carefully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We expect to unlock your handset in the next few moments.
Once we have successfully unlocked your handset, we would really
appreciate it if you could simply tell us that it worked so that
we can keep our records up to date and measure our success......
like I say it worked for me, it might have been £16.99 but mine is working now

That's odd. I'm not doubting you it's just odd that isn't working for me. I'll try again. Thanks!
EDIT; Just placed a second order, let's see what happens.

Three actually have their own unlock services with their devices. Costs £15.32
Three.co.uk/unlock

So after about 10 orders, 10 refunds, 3 or 4 different services i kinda gave up for now. It seems that my particular handset is 'too new' and it's not listed on the databases.

Got it today bought it on gumtree. No idea how old but must be recent.

Thanks! Going try that.

So just yesterday I managed to get the phone unlocked. It seems that will take at least a month from the date of purchase until the code gets released.
