[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bebbo:
The "Unlocked" simply refers to the phone being either locked to a single provider (E.g. TMobile etc) or able to accept SIM cards from any telecoms provider. If you put a different telecom providers SIM card in your phone it either works or displays a locked message with a request to put an unlock code in.

A great number of supplied Blue Angels (And other XDA type devices) are being shipped locked to the provider who supplies it. For people who are travelling abroad and use foreign SIM cards or people who simply want to swap SIM card for a different provider are stopped from doing so.

This I feel is a very annoying situation as most providers lock you into a 1 year contract if the phone is subsidised and then refuse to provide an unlock code for that year. This is unacceptable and is simply a money generating exercise in these situations (Providers will tell you it is to stop people purchasing the phone and then disappearing with it without paying but they can block the IMEI number of the phone to stop this anyway!)

Hopefully that answers your question and allowed me to have a little rant!

MDA III Updates/Unlocked

As regards the post quering my device being unlocked - T-Mobile UK will unlock one of its devices for £15 after 1 month's use. They did not make me wait for 12 months (the term of my contract). I happily paid this, as it is a relatively modest amount, compared to buying out the contract :shock:. They are one of the cellcos in the UK who will do this.

On the updates thread I will keep everyone updated. My contact as much as admitted that they view this site as a helpful way of getting the updates to end users. So unofficial Kudos, as always, to xda-developers :D

My contact at T-Mobile has gone silent on me. Despite voice mails and emails requesting an update on a) what is in and b) release date of an update. Never a good sign :?

Can all T-Mobile customers start bugging them with me as this is the only way to raise the priority of this issue.

We still do not have WMP10 or an updated radio stack (you cannnot use BB connect with anything other than 1.0). Although with the no sound problem on certain ROMs perhaps we should be thankful!

The above instructions did not work for me. Everything passed but no su binary was installed on the phone, so no root access. CWM installed fine though. Anyway the instructions in the other thread in the development forum worked perfectly. My model is GT-I9195. Just posting this here so other folks looking for root instructions are aware.

If it looks flush and if it's charging and there doesn't seem to do any damage to the actual phone I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi,

I need some help. I scrued my Omnia 7 touchscreen with the LEO ADVANCED app.

I juste need to set one value to get it working again :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch]

"PDD"="CotullaTouch.dll"

My question is : how can i edit registry without using my phone screen.

I can : unlock screen, use voice recognisation to launch any installed app, remotely install app (i'm prelly sure)

3 solutions are coming up to my mind:

1 Find a desktop app that allows to edit plugged phone's registry

2 Remotely control my phone ( with a computer, use mouse to change the values with WP7 root tool)

3 (less imaginable) créate an Xap that changes this specific value. I will still be able to install it remotely and to launch it with the voice recognisation.

Can only think of thoses two solution. Its the only solutions i found
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elpinta25:
You have the ability to edit the registry from your PC, you will need to follow these steps:

1 - Download and install the registry editor for the PC:

http://www.torchsoft.com/en/download.html

2 - Connect your Windows Phone to the PC.

3 - Start the Zune software and synchronized with the device.

4 - boot registry editor

5 - Then we click on "File / Connect to a portable device Cams"

6 - Usually the device is already connected to the registry editor

7 - Once you have synced the device with the editor, please edit the required record :o
