unlock multiple defys?

ive read all the posts and i have one question, i have 2 moto defy's on the US t-mobile network, i am under the 40 day limit so i cannot get the unlock code from them, i need both phones unlocked but i do not want to pay more than once. is there a program out there where i can get more than unlock code for one single price and thats not going to cost me a fortune or charge me more than once?:confused:

where is unlock screen

Hello!

I've got a UK vodafone defy. I till don't order unlock code. Before it I'd like to try to get the unlock screen.

I was insert a T-mobile SIM, but I can't get the unlock screen.

I was try this too:

....

2. Press and hold the asterisk (*) key until an entry box is displayed.

3. Type *, #, 3, 2, # and press “OK”

4. Enter your Motorola unlock code and press “OK.”

....

I only see the "wrong sim card" and the welcome the motoblur screen

with emergency dial chance,

and with menu press I get only the dialer. dialing the *#32# here, nothing happened.

thanks for help..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
You wont be able to get to lockscreen with a wrong Sim-card , a locked phone is modded to not work at all with the wrong SIM,you're better off with no SIM at all,that way you might get to lockscreen but not without.

Just order a code hehe.

I ordered mine from swiftunlocks.net,And they said ill get the code by Tuesday...yes i could've went to a phone mall and unlock it but i feel safer this way...meh who knows what they can do to your phone while they have it (Takes them 5-10 mins to unlock,but they ask you to leave it to them for more than 2 hours).

Goodluck and take care.

Be very wary of using the ebay sellar unlock_fusion. He works for swiftunlocks.

He sent me the wrong code for my defy and then called me a thief when it didn't work even though i had video proof, he threatened me, and reported my IMEI as being stolen...

I just called up t-mobile UK and they ended up doing it for me for £15.

do not give refunds. i have been badgering them for weeks to give me my money back AFTER they offered it to me. since then daily emails and facebook messages (which they delete ) and i am now trying to warn others .

they may be fast in giving you a code and im finding more often than not it is a wrong one to start with and THEN they offer you upgrade or refund. if you choose refund they forget all about you. its seems to me after reading a lot more into these peope that they offer the cheap $9 unlock code, send the wrong one .offer the upgrade once they have you.

Hi.. Yeah sure.. You can unlock your Motorola DEFY either by using codes or by using cables. But using unlock code is a simple way to unlock your mobile. If you use software means, there is a chance to lose any data on your mobile. So unlock code is better for unlock your mobile. If you wish to get code means get it from Simpleunlocking.com by provide your correct IMEI number, country and network carrier..

Yes its possible. The phone reports more than those four steps so you can just have it show four bars full for 5 and 6 too, or any other combo you'd like.

thanks ill try it....dont mean to bug anyone but is there any steps that can be given?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
Certainly, inside of any theme .zip is a file called framework-res.apk. You can rename the .apk to .zip and open it in any compression tool, such as 7zip or WinRAR. If you would like, you can decompress and unpack this to a folder for ease of use. There are tons of guides on XDA that will help you with this, I would suggest taking a look at some of the guides made by Dreamsforgotten as they are incredibly detailed, and you can find links to them by looking at the sticky wiki thread. Once you get inside of the framework-res.apk, you will see a folder called "res" and inside of that, another folder called "drawable-hdpi". This is the heart of the framework, and the majority of the images that you see on your phone are contained within. The status bar signal icons are named something like "stat_sys_signal..." etc. Just open em up and edit them to your liking, or grab some images from somewhere else to replace them. Hope this helps, feel free to pm me if you need any more help!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
Yup no problem. There are multiple different sets of signal bars, on for roaming, 1x etc. Your best bet would be to replace them all, unless you can discern which is which. Look for this in the name "_r_", and if they have this then those are for roaming icons. All others should just be the normal signal.

not sure if it will work on the gtab but i know that i used to do it on my droid and my motorola q with my laptop using pdanet since pdanet has a bluetooth dun feature.
[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
The issue is that the PDAnet software is using the telephone as the modem and desktop software on the PC (client software) to connect to the telephone as a modem. We would want to use the Gtab as the desktop with client software to connect to either a telephone as a modem or even to a PC and use the PC's network connection. That doesn't exist today AFAIK except perhaps for the Archos tablet (and again not sure that is working well for them). I am sure with newer tablets coming, some software will soon emerge with a client function that will allow you to connect the Gtab to your Android telephone or Blackberry or even iPhone. There isn't a way today (AFAIK) to use your PC desktop's network connection with the GTab with a USB link (again the software I have been able to find assumes you want to use the desktop connected to the telephone's network connection and not the other way around).

Once this is available it will be sweet (especially if I can connect to my Blackberry; wired or wireless).

I was unable to boot to recovery, and I now have the phone connected to my computer via USB and I got it into what appears to be download mode (there's a yellow triangle with a droid shoveling dirt) and I'm stuck.

That said we did find out that using a virtual machine on a mac doesn't work, it has something to do with how the computer recognizes the device, and there is another thread here somewhere in which someone else ran into the same problem.
