It will sim-lock the phone, however as long as you obtain the unlock code from this program then all should be ok.

I myself will be attempting as soon as my battery level is ok and flashing the .32 radio after unlock.

Will keep you posted.

EDIT: All worked fine. No need to put a different SIM in as the good old Orange SIM lock kicks in. Just follow the instructions (no need to change sim card as it will sim lock anyway) and you'll be fine.

I now have a fully unlocked Orange UK HTC TYTN II. Listening to my old voicemails now on my redundant 3 SIM card lol!!

My thanks goes out to the creator of this. Expect a donation :)

Does it work with the HT S730 as well?

Joy!

I felt brave

I followed the procedure to the letter

I got an unlock code of ........

I panicked

I reset the device

I tried to get the code again

I got an unlock code of ........

I panicked a bit more, and thought that I'd missed something in the procedure

I ripped the battery out

I tried again

I got an unlock code of ........

I started to think that my phone was bricked

I reset once more

I GOT THE CODE!!!

In case any Orange UK users with an un-modified and SIM locked device are wondering if this procedure works, I can confirm that it does and now my TyTN II can happily see my Vodafone SIM that I use in my work phone.

I've flashed my Radio to 1.27.12.32 (as 1.27.12.29 isn't available to download) and it seems to be working OK.

Thank you, jockyw2001. You are a star. :cool:

Many thanks!

Just succesfully unlocked with:

Vista Pro;

T-Mobile UK MDA Vario III;

Radio 1.27.12.11

Couple of suggestions for the instructions (not sure if anyone else had these issues):

- At #7 I had to use the stylus to reset as the power button didn't function;

- At #8, remind Vista users to Windows Mobile Device Centre to deactivate the USB connection rather than right-clicking on the ActiveSync icon;

- At #10, include commentary on possible use of "CustomRUU.exe" in the packed Radio .rar d/l from the link, in place of the "KaiserCustomRUU.exe" included your .rar download.

Oh, and thanks again!

Now off to find a decent dual-sim adapter!

Can't get to Tri-color mode

In section 7 of the process:

7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will (usually after you have entered the usual 4-digit PIN) show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlockcode. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.

I have switched out my sim card to T-mo card with no acct on it.. (also tried the "run Simlock.exe" method). I get the request for the Unlock code, but when I try to soft reset My phone just restarts and comes back to the simlock code request. No bootloader mode.? I have tried several times without luck? Does having the buttons remapped or a non-stock rom make a difference?

Radio is listed as 1.27.12.11 patched version.. Do I need to enter an 8 digit code before soft resetting?

Using XP SP2 Home version.

Whenever I flash radio 1.27.14.09, my device goes black and/or to a fuzzy grey screen. The temporary radio in the instructions boots up just fine. Anyone have any ideas as to what would cause this?

Update: In case this happens to anyone, it's the radio not being compatible with the ROM. I flashed a different radio and all is well.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Nuclearburn:
Do Step 8. run "kaiser-simunlocker.exe". You may have to run the DOS window ---> "CMD.EXE" from the run menu on XP.. you have to navigate to the directory where the unlocker is located.. it should then give you the code so you can enter it in your phone.

already unlocked ?

Hi,

I am a newcomer there. My first name is Emmanuel and I am French.

My main goal is to be able to use my precious thing in China, so I have to SIM-unlock it.

Many thanks to jockyw2001, who has published this unlock procedure, but I had a problem :

I have followed the procedure, and I have gone to the 7th step :

the fact is that I've entered the PIN1 number of my other SIM Card, but then I had no "Simlock" window.

Moreover, I decided to phone someone, and it worked !

Well, what is the explanation ? Is my phone already unlocked ?

Thanks guys !

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jockyw2001:
Either it is already unlocked or you did not insert a SIM of another ('strange') provider.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] manuhard:
u got the point, I used the same provider...

So, I have to find another SIM card
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Teppic24:
I thought that under French law handsets can't be locked to a single provider anyway? Apple have to sell the iPhone unlocked for all networks because of this law, so you may find that your TyTN II is already unlocked.

That is of course if you are actually residing in France as opposed to being French and living in another country.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cubangt:
I have a question about this step or comment in the steps

When prompted (usually immediately after you have entered the usual 4-digit SIM PIN)..

What is the usual 4-digit sim pin?

I purchased the TILT and waiting for it to arrive. I use tmobile as my provider and obvisouly the phone is locked to ATT. So before i start, if i need a pin which i dont have, i want to make sure i have everything.

Or since i have a t-mobile sim i shouldnt have to worry when i get to that point?

Hi,

I tried to unlock my Tilt but when i get to the updating in step 1, it gave me "ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR". Does anybody else have this problem or have a solution to this?

Hey guys...

I have a bit of a strange problem.

In the step 1, I do everything that was supposed to be done but when I start KaiserCustoum RUU and go trough all of the steps and when that process popup shows with percentage my sync shuts itself off after which I receive ERROR [262] Update Error and have to start all over again. I tried at least 20 times and read the whole tread but it doesn't seem like anyone had the same problem.

Does anyone know the solution?

Thank you...

It seems like a great tool. Hopefully I would get it working too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Teppic24:
"ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR" means that Hard-SPL is not installed.

After going back and reading the instructions, it does look as if it is saying that to install HardSPL you power on holding the camera button.

This is incorrect. This is how you check that it is installed. If you power on with the camera button held and you do NOT see "SPL-1.0 OliPof", then you need to install HardSPL to your phone. See the HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 thread for details on how to do this.

Maybe the instruction needs to be amended to say:

1. Make sure you installed HardSPL as follows: power off and then press power on while keeping camera pressed, this will enter the so called bootloader mode and you see a tri-color screen (Red, Green, Blue). You should see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" on the second line in the top left corner. If you do not see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" then you need to install HardSPL to your device. You can exit the tri-color screen by means of a "soft reset": press the reset button with the stylus.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] hepek24:
Thank you for your help.

I got it passed that point but now on the second step when I try to run kaiser-simunlocker from step 2. nothing happens. No unlock code shows up, or anything else for that matter. I tried like 20 times but nothing.

What do you suggest I should do?

Hello,

I am looking at buying a locked Tytn II off Ebay and want to put my existing sim card from a different provider in. Do I need the original sim card from the locked provider to unlock? As I don't think it comes with any sim card at all. Or can I unlock it just using the "strange" sim card at all?

I ran thru all the steps and finally got my TILT to unlock.. BUT i did have to try a few different thing, like running the SPL on the phone instead of launching it from my pc.. when i would launch it from the pc the phone would acknowledge and i would click ok to continue and it would white screen.. i dont recall all the steps i followed as i booked marked everything at home lastnight.. but after that i was able to get the unlock code and the phone is working now with tmobile sim..

As for the "STRANGE" sim card. I think as long as you are not trying to use a ATT sim during that step you should be fine...

I thought i was going to brick my phone, but i read thru all the threads and was able to get it all worked out..

=========================

6. Power off your Kaiser and insert a 'strange' SIM, i.e. a SIM from another provider than the one your phone is locked to.

7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will (usually after you have entered the usual 4-digit PIN) show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlockcode. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.

8a. right-click activeync icon and uncheck "Allow USB connections" from Connection Settings

8b. On your PC go into the "step2" directory and run "kaiser-simunlocker.exe". If all went well you will see the unlockcode on your monitor and your Kaiser is being restarted automatically.

8c. right-click activeync icon and check "Allow USB connections" from Connection Settings

===============

these steps if followed work fine...

Now i just need to load a cooked rom to get rid of all the ATT software and also still trying to figure out the connection settings to get my internet working.

If it's a UK phone the only small problem you'll have is step 10, in that you can't re-flash back the original Radio (1.27.12.29) as it's not available to download from waht I can see. However you can use 1.27.12.32 instead. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=349375 for Radio versions.

This is similar to my question, do you need a sim card from the provider its locked to, to be able to unlock it? I don't actually have a kaiser, looking at getting one of ebay so not sure if it can connect to active sync without a sim card in it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xconradx:
You don't need a SIM inserted to connect to ActiveSync. You get a screen telling you you can make emergency calls only, and you click 'cancel' and you get into the phone.

Hello.

I performed the operation the other night with an Orange locked phone. I never used a 4 Digit pin. I think this maybe a security code that you input and write to the card for your own security reasons. So if you have never done it, i guess you have no 4 Digit pin. I didn't.

1. I removed my Sim card with MY phone # on it.

2. I inserted the sim card that came with the phone (an Orange Sim Card) - my wifes sim card that came with the phone upgrade. Different Phone #. (From post above it looks as though you may not even need a Sim Card installed, but someone may correct me on that.)

3. Have a Vista machine, so had to do the driver upgrade replace thing :mad: found on page 4 or 5 of this thread.

4. Peformed operation found in this thread - viola! It worked!
