Hi,
I've had my Tytn 2 for 18 months now and my contract with Orange has just finished. Actually that's a little lie, I broke the first one and had it replaced.
The one I have has Windows Mobile 6.1, and now that my contract has finished I need to SIM unlock it.
I've been reading the stickys and looking around and as far as I can tell, I need to downgrade to windows mobile 6.0 before I do this, is that correct?
Then once I've done that (read: figured out how to do that =P) I follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583
Sorry for the newbie post, I just wanted to confirm that this is all correct before I brick my phone =/.
Thanks for any help.
if your contract is done, contact the company you got it from and they will give you the unlock code for free...
You would be better off following the steps here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
That way you can sim unlock and CID unlock your phone, and will be able to use any sim and any rom.

Hi to all

Explain unlocked. The device is not SIM-locked, and the Extended ROM is not locked, just hidden. And there have a been a number of posts regarding access to the Extended ROM, including on PocketPC Dubai and my blog.

Since there aren't any SIM locked devices on the market yet, I don;t think anyone has busted it yet. If you are going to stay on as a T-Mobile customer you should be able to ask them for an unlock code, so you can use it abroad. Provided that it is locked as they have been in the past.

I have an MDA Pro from t-mobile on contract. I have spoken to t-mobile and they will unlock the phone after the contract is 1 month old. for a small fee I think. they unlocked my MDA 3 for £20.
if you want to buy the MDA vario from the netherlands, u must know it is in dutch, and locked. i have one now
Unlocking (SIM-lock) the MDA Vario T-mobile (Wizard)
The MDA Vario by T-Mobile is SIM locked (for 2 years). I would love to have a program to unlock it. I tried the xdadv_all_unlock tool, but off course that didn't work.. If anyone knows how to remove the SIM lock, give me a shout!

Wait no longer I've just unlocked my T-Mobile Vario by using :-
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php
It's worked great and I can now use my Orange SIM with no problems.
@leewilko: how much did they charge you?
£20 (20 ukp)
Hi, I have the XDA Mini S (a.k.a. HTC Wizard) from O2 Germany. I want to install an english version. I'm worried that if I unlock the device (I guess this is needed in order to install a new OS) I'll lose the old one. Is there a way to back everything up before upgrading so that I can restore it if I don't want to lose my warranty?

Wizard SIM Unlock Tool works right for my M3000 Orange France, now my Wizard is unlock
Thank you very much buzzdev
holy crap it works!!!
it is machinegod who has involved this
so big thanks yo him........
Buzz did also research!
but main question is now who brings us an MDA PRO unlocker...:!!!
OK, OK, so let me get this straight - this crack does what - cracks the bootlader like the tool from imei-check.co.uk or it gets round the country check when trying to install a new OS?
hi all.
Is the Tytn ii a hermes phone? Would like to know as i'm thinking of trying the HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a program to unlock it. Its currently on Orange and I need to put T-mobile sim card in for a while.
Any advice appreciated.
Don't do that, the TyTN II is the next generation, I don't think it will work.
With all these Kaiser-named threads, it should be pretty obvious it is a Kaiser, not Hermes. Add to that the fact that the forums are separated by model - aka Hermes, Kaiser, etc etc...and here you are, posting in the Kaiser forum.
Can you say DUH!?
OK, that was a little mean, but you newbies need to read more.
Read the Wiki. It will give you all the info you need.

Are you saying that there is free unlock available then?
UPDATE: This method involves flashing a patched radio from a different device. Would not advise as this will probably either fail or brick device.
Did you actually test the device for sim unlock before you sent it back?

we will see soon, because i didnt have a sim card at the time, but it said "successful" in that box that pops up...so i guess it must work...i get my tilt next week.
I must be thick as I have read more posts on this than I have had hot dinners and tried various utilities all to no avail although thankfully my Wizard still seems to work.
My O2 XDA-Mini s is about 2 years old and of course locked to O2 although the device come up as SIM Unlocked but CID Locked.
IPL - 2.21.0001
SPL - 2.21.0001
I am now on the Three network and would just like to get back to using the phone I love rather than the freebie I have now, so I am assuming I need to get CID Unlocked?
Having bothered to get to that stage I would want to scrap the O2 software and upgrade to a better ROM.
Sorry for being so stupid on this, I am hoping someone in the know can take the time to reply.
Thanks in advance
There's no need to post in every thread,you already posted in the G4 forum,wait for someone to replay.
Anyhow,check your other post,this has been answered ,to upgrade to wm6, you got to do it with SoftSPL or HardSPL as its a G4 device,but if you want to SIM unlock,use the lokiwiz03 tool to generate the SIM unlocking code.

Won't work on Three as it's not 3G. Should be unlocked though - most XDA mini s are.

Thanks, disappointed but that may be the answer, I will try a Vodaphone card in it tomorrow and that should answer the question.
any way for sim unlock a t-mobile wing?
Just call T-Mobile and tell them you'll be traveling overseas and you need to Unlock your phone. They will get the numbers of your phone from you and then they'll send you the Unlock code for free.
I paid $10.00 for this information. My gift to you.
i have one

Some 1 pls give a tool to unlock Wing
Anyone have IMEI to unlock code generator for wing?
Looks like alot of people lookign for 1.
How those sites which charges $ generates the unlock code it? There must be a generator.
This is a thread about the herald / wing . you posted something that is not very useful !!!!!!! no instructions available on MANY of the HTC devices including the wing / herald / tytn / vario II.
Every American service provider will unlock 1 phone a month on your account. Why do you want to try programs for other phones?
He's right I called tmobile and told them I was going to England for 2 months and they gave my unlock code.

This is correct. Thread closed. Just call your provider and tell them you are going overseas.
dont know if this is the right place but i cant seem to unlock my vario III i was looking for a bit of advice with this please
cheers
What method are you using? Some people just call their carrier and ask for the unlock.
i used a video on youtube but its not working too well
i sesarched for unlocking mda vario 3 and its like 3rd or 4th down the list i would post the link but i cant...
thing is i kinda want it now as ive broken the screen on my iphone and i hate using the old samsung phone that i am just now so i wanna use the vario till i get the iphone fixed
There should be a method in the Kaiser Wiki, or again you can call your carrier and ask for the code.
Sim or Cid unlock ? Just follow the tutorial and it will do both.
