Why does everyone make things difficult????

Hello,

I am new to this site and only really registered as i have an 'OLD' HTC Touch HD which I would like to actually have the pleasure of unlocking (as odd as that may sound to all).

It seems very strange to me that every thread I read suggests I either write something important or help someone with their problem (with which im sure there are many experienced phone folk that can do that more succesfully than me!), or pay for the pleasure of someone else supplying me with the code.

I know that mention of the dreaded rubbish and poorly built, bad OS blah blah blah iPhone will annoy some, but since I bought my iPhone long ago there has always been this jailbreak community that have helped people remove the shackles of the iOS, and then remove the SIM-lock so that they can use any SIM-card within it and all for the huge price of zero/free/nada.

Why is it that the 'Apple' user community are helpful in this requirement, but it seems to me that the people that harp on about i-Phones being rubbish and Android or Windows is better seem to be quite 'tight' when it comes to information regarding releasing phones from the constraints of corporations which are also only wanting our money.

By the way, I am not totally bothered by this as I currently live in Bangkok and there are many places I could go to have the phone SIM-unlocked.

The point is I want to do it :), and I find it frustrating that people have the knowledge but wont let others know unless its for a price.

Please let me know if I have missed something and this info is readily available, and please dont say the obvious 'go back to iPhone' un-educated answer I half expect.

I say again, its an old HTC I would like to liberate as I used to use it a lot in the UK....but now im in Bangkok! I could get it done for really cheap at the MBK centre or somewhere but just felt like doing it myself with the right software. I like doing things like that!!

I have found places where you can install Android on it etc etc, thats good stuff and I will be looking at that once its SIM-unlocked.

Sorry for the long post

word to the mother.........hehehe

Thanks for your response!

Loads of pirated copies of Windows out there by the way....free too! Isnt the SIM-unlock slightly illegal as you mentioned, as is pirate software?? Its all just software, some you can use more than just for one thing the once....and cheaper than 20EUR.

However, my point was that after so many years of a phone being released I would have thought it would be easier to find the necessary software to actually work out the relevant code for the particular phone needing an unlock code. I appreciate what you say about a 'one code for all' but surely this is just down to software and its ability to 'fool' the hardware. Possibly, just possibly this type of thing gets passed from manufacturer to user, as I believe the manufacturer could get past these restrictions? In this case surely someone is just holding back on 'old' information and just 'leeching' money from unsuspecting untechnical minds. I am not a software developer but the point about the iPhone was just that the community that works out the software to unrestrict it, asks for nothing! (my iPhone is actually officially unlocked - and as far as im aware Apple sell phones unlocked for use with any carrier now)

As I said in my previous post I can get this done here in Bangkok for next to nothing (150baht/3GBP), but I just wanted to do it myself. Which brings me to my next question....why, if what you say is true do phone stalls (not shops) have the ability to unlock any phone? I mean I went into the MBK centre and asked "can you SIM-unlock this phone" he had a look and said "Yes no problem (chais, mai pen rai)" Did he and all the other stalls get it from someone here, or is there a generic unlock solution that you and others are unaware of?

Unfortunately I dont speak much Thai, so could not go into the where and hows with him.

I am just throwing this up in the air, just because thats the type of guy I am :) I think just to save time and maybe to stop any debate about it...I will just get it unlocked here by one of the many mobile phone stall owners (Im pretty sure they are not software developers).

Thanks for your time but I now think that there are some that just dont like to share information.....down with the New World Order! lol

Ohh and just to finish, I am more than happy to help 'anyone' that requires my help! I am just not in the phone unlocking game, but have a phone that needs un-locking. Need any help in acoustics? I would be more than happy to help!

Help Unlocking HTC Touch HD

Hello,

I know you are only helping people who helps others and have a lot of post but the truth is that I use the forum a lot to update my HTC Desire HD Rom but as I don't have problems with it I never use the forum, and I don't know how to help either.

Nevertheless I would like to know if you could help me unlocking my mothers HTC Touch HD since she changed operator but doesn't want to change phone.

Thank you for your time,

Waiting for an answer,

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
OK, calm down and stop the fighting.

@hbstun, there are is no free unlocker. And definatly no free version of this unlocker. Coming in here and asking for one, when the first post clearly states not and then insulting the creator of most of the unlockers / Hard SPLs on this site is not on.

Please drop it now.

Trying to troll to get the lion out of his cage, will either leave you behind without a hand or a free vacation to boot camp.

And we won't feel sorry if the Lion bites of your head since you have been warned.

I know at least 5 mods have taken a subscription to this thread in the last hour, no more.

I can't speak for the complete moderation team but i can say that i understand where OliPro is coming from, and he only dishes out when it is deserved.

Therefore the warning about the Lion.

If you find anyone that knows more about Unlocking, SPL's and WinCe in general then Cmonex and OliPro together, we will give you one free swear word to post.

(Don't take this as a challenge it's fun talk with a serious edge to try and use metaphores as to the why's)

MOD BREAK

MOD BREAK:

I am sick and tired of the whining every time a unlocker is released!

Before even beginning to whine, read the opening post again.

1) are you a contributing member? -> contact the author for the free unlocker.

2) you are a new member, or haven't been contributing to the community? Buy the unlocker!

Time and effort invested in unlocking all the devices is tremendous.

You have a subsidized device which you want to have unlocked, even when paying the unlock fee, you still paid way less than the original unsubsidized device!

So don't whine if you aren't a contributing member and have to pay!

further begging and whining will be deleted without notification!

Repeaters and offensive ones will be banned.

Hi,

I used the SIM unlocker and the phone is working great..

I just had a query. (May sound real stupid to you)

Why are you taking the IMEI number when we are getting the unlocker.

Is there anything like you are giving specific .exe files according to the IMEI

Would be great if any one could answer
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
IMEI is needed to perform unlocking, don't worry we are not using it for any other purposes.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybrnook:
Hey guys, just purchased, but im having a problem. My touch HD is brand new and im trying to use this software right off the bat, but im having a problem with step1. When I see the.cab for hard SPL load on my phone for the install, it fails saying I dont have enough memory to install it. But I know there is enough memory because its brand new. Im synced with WM 6.1 etc... And can sync contacts and everything fine, but the unlocker program stops at step 1. ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybrnook:
Ok, well I followed the tutorial to manually flash SPL 1.56 which was successful. But now when I try the unlocker (Step 2. RADIO), I am stuck at "your device is in flight mode or you need to purchase the IMEI......" When its "Communicating with device". I have purchased 1 hour ago, and my phone is not in flight mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybrnook:
Oli?? Anybody? Bueller?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Olipro:
tell me, did you get the IMEI off the box or off the device?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybrnook:
Thank you olipro and olinex team for the email response. All is well now :) Step 2 and 3 ran no problem now.

If anyone wondered what the probem was, it was an ip conflict from my end when purchasing the software. A security check from the Oli team. Software ran flawless.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shamreez:
I am definite that you guys wont be using it for any other purpose...

Was just curious why it was needed

(If it is not too complicated could you explain please)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybrnook:
From what I can gather and just experienced, the unlocker software perhaps connects to a database to verify your IMEI. My problem was I received the software via a link Olinex sent after I paid with paypal. But since my paypal was from another country, there was a flag thrown up. So even though I had the software, it would NOT run on my phone. I got to step 2 after manually flashing 1.56 SPL, and was greeted with a "phone is in flight mode, or you have not paid for IMEI etc..." So, what I gather is when you go to unlock your phone in step 2, the software pings OLI's database of "paid for IMEI's" to verify that you are unlocking a phone IMEI that has been paid for. Because in theory you could just use the software he sent and unlock as many phones as you wanted. So after we resolved my paypal situation, he then released my IMEI for unlocking. Also, he could be gathering the IMEI's for algorythms. It's for protection I believe. Then again, I could be way off.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shamreez:
That looks like a possibility...

I hope Olipro or someone could confirm it...

unlock simlock

Hi, I live in Poland, I do not have a PayPal account, my brother lives in London and I sent him my IMEI, it has paid Google Checkout 10.50 Pound and got the e-mail with instructions and a link to download the application, then the brother was sent to me This e-mail and I downloaded the applications. I connected the device to the computer, I did step 1, with step 2 is the problem. Window pops up "your device is in flight mode or you need to purchase the IMEI"

NETFramework I have installed 3.5, I use XP and I have not turned on "airplane mode". Activ Sync conected.

I do not know what to do. I wrote an email to Olipro, now waiting for a response but fear that he did not reply because I do not write the account of my brother, who paid for an application, sorry for my English, I try to write well, please help I hope to be able to remove the simlock

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cybrnook:
Its fine, im sure Olipro is still at work. Seems like you will have to get your brother to write an email to Oli (Since the IP that bought the software is different than the one using it), so he can verify that he knows what is going on. Once Oli confirms that everything is ok, he should respond and release your IMEI for unlocking. He's only "super" human, so it might take a little while to respond.

Hi

First, I best apologise if this post full of basic and stupid questions, but this is all new to me (as is the phone) so I'd really appreciate it if someone could spare me the time to offer a helpful answer or point me in the right direction.

Ok, I got a Touch Hd on an Orange contract and want to update it to the latest ROM (my current ROM is 1.19.61.1 WWE), so after reading the wiki I assume I need to pay for a CID unlock from Olipro, is this right?

Is unlocking/adding new ROM a simple(ish) procedure? I was left a little puddled after reading the wiki the first couple of times, so I'm cautious about doing anything that turn my phone into a cold piece of useless plastic.

Lastly, say I get the unlock to work and change the ROM and everything works fine and then I drop it, meaning I have to send it to Orange for repair/replacement (its insured), will I have a problem because I've messed with the phone?

Again, sorry if this post seems retarded, I tried looking around the site and wiki, but I couldn't find any firm answers. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.

Cheers
