Locked O2 xda IIs

Hi
a quick question. I just bought one of these xdas from ebay. However when I got it the phone appears to be locked. When I insert a sim it saya 'network is lock please insert unlock code'. I am not sure what the problem is but am worried have been sold a stolen phone that has been barred.
The seller is not being helpful and I really would like to just keep the phone. My question is- if it has been barred is there a way to unbar it? I know it is possible to unlock xda phones by flashing new roms & changing the radio etc as i have followed the instructions on here before, but just wondering if anyone could offer any technical advice on my problem. It will be a lot of hassle to get a refund as seller is not at all responsive so any help would be appreciated please.

watch the wiki !
thear is a unlocker.
just put it on the device and start it.

Thanks- will clarify
Hi thanks for the quick response! I will go read the wiki now. I guess I should phrase my question better though- what i mean is, if the phone has been barred/ blocked on the network etc will unlocking it with the unlocking tool be of any use? Thanks in advance.

the unlocking tool will remmove all network lock from ur phone.so ur phone can access any network.

No. If the IMEI has been blocked on your providers network, the only one who can get it working is said provider.
However, your description of the problem is a sim locked phone. Once you run the unlocker, you should be fine.

Unlocking problem

Hi,
I've recently purchased a at&t tilt off of ebay the guy promised me the unlock code after numerous emails he finally gave one, tried it twice and told him it didn't work so he gave me another one tried it twice still didn't work finally he said that he's going to get the true code from at&t he gave it to me but that one didn't work so now I've tried 5 times.....did i permanently locked the phone? is there still a chance of unlocking this phone?
Please help
Thanks

u need to follow the steps in the link that elypsar posted.

If those steps I have followed them but not it leaves me since 3 attempts of unfreezing have put and single it lets make calls of emergency as desdues can be the solution to do several hard spl and cid unlock if káiser it does not respond thanks

@bananascom: If you mean that your SIM card got locked due to 3 wrong PINs then it's not the Kaiser at fault, you need to unblock the SIM with the PUK code you have received with it or call your operator.
If it's not that then try to write some better English as I don't thing anyone understood the problem...

Good the one is not sim is to káiser that is blocked since the 3 attempts were those of the code of the operator who could do The one of the language is that I am of Spain and I use a translator to write I feel thanks for your aid

Okay if you had done reading first hand you wouldn't be in this problem right now ... but alas many of us, including me, don't bother reading until the hammer falls on our heads. Take this as a lesson and read before you do anything to your device in the future.
As far as phone being locked ... there are two types: sim and than keylock. If sim than you need the puk code just as you have been told before. If you forgot keylock code than you need to hard reset the device as i don't know of any other way of reteriving that info.

No is el sim is el operator de la Kaiser at&t thanks

ook, dont know what that means, but I have contacted a member that speaks spanish and I hope he will drop by and solve your problem in spanish(maybe).

Your SIM Is locked. CALL your service provide to get them to unlock THE SIM, then use this to unlock the rest of your phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
Done.

Still locked
Now i've installed a hardspl read somewhere it's supposed to prevent your kaiser from being bricked and did the kaiser customruu but now i'm trying to sim unlock the tilt but every time i open the kaiserunlocker.exe it give me an application error and when i try to use the kaiserunlocker2.exe it restarts the computer..... what I'm i doing wrong? or is there a version i should look out for?

I got my G1 now what?

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

[Q] Official operator unlock code not working - ideas?

Last year, I got an HTC Incredible S and absolutely love the phone. The only thing I did not like was the capacity, so I got a 32GB card instead. I do not know if there is a special procedure to follow when you change the SD card, so I just copied everything from one card to the other. Of course, some programs did not find the data, so that data had to get loaded again.
The phone was locked to an operator in Norway - Telenor, but as I used a SIM from an operator that used their network, I did not need to switch. This year I needed to go back to Brazil and wanted to make sure I could use my phone with my TIM number here. So I called Telenor when it was getting close and got the unlock code. I then tried to unlock it after changing to a SIM from a different network in Norway. But it did not work.
After trying a third SIM card, it seemed to work, so I thought it was ok and the phone had never actually been locked. How wrong was I...
After arriving in Brazil last week and picking up my SIM from TIM Brazil, I found out that the lock is very much in place. And the code I got is not working.
If I was in Norway still, I could send it to Telenor for free and they would fix it, but I am not. So what can I do to unlock it?
The full model as displayed by the phone:
HTC Incredible S S710e
The instructions for unlocking never mentioned anything about keeping the original SD card, but can that be the reason for it not working?
After I changed to the new SD card, the cold boot of the phone is extremely long, but most of the day-to-day operations is ok.
Any suggestions to what I can do to remove the operator lock? I have noticed that there is an official site from HTC where you can unlock some things of the Incredible S. Will that do the job?
I really need to be able to use my phone here. I hope someone out there have an idea what to do.

No the unlock procedure at HTCDEv.com is to unlock the bootloader so you can root and customize your phone. Unfortunately, rooting your phone will not help ou SIM unlock your phone.
You need to SIM unlock your phone which the unlock code should have done. Also the SiM unlock code has nothing to do with your SD card.
You need to contact Telenor and tell them that the unlock code does not work. Or you can try one of the paid services that provide unlock codes for a fee.

If you're not getting replies it's because nobody that has seen this yet knows how to help (me included).
In my case it was quite simple as the companies over here are forced to give the unlock codes, all I did was put a SIM from a company other than what I had (as said on the instructions) and then bring the unlock menu and enter the code.
Don't know if using a different SIM before unlocking is necessary because of the model itself or just the company I was using, it wouldn't hurt trying that way so put another sim first and then bring the unlock panel.

Thank you very much for the reply. I have tryed two other sim cards. both givethe same result now isthere a way to check if the phone is ulocked not buy puting in an new sim? Also the phone has never had a fido sim in it could this cause problems?

The easiest way to check is using a non accepted sim card and getting network. I don't think never have used a fido sim is the issue.
I just want to be sure you're doing the steps right,
1.- Insert a non accepted sim and start the phone, when the phone has loaded you should see the message "locked network/sim" (don't know exactly what it says in english)
2.- Dial the sequence 2945#*990# or 2945#*999# and then input the unlock code, you should get a message saying the request to unlock the phone was successful (again, or something like that) and then the phone will restart
3.- Once it loads again, you should see the name of the network provider and have signal.
Now try again, and tell exactly where it's going different for you to see if someone can help you, if not there's always the option to unlock by software.

Thank you but i get an error when i send the unlock code says networking error of.somthing also is softweare unlocking easy to do?
