hey,

i'm back from holiday and my droid pro finally arrived yesterday in excelent condition with the verizon vodafone sim inside. the seller told me that the pre owner unlocked it for use on outside the usa directly with a verizon code. the phone has a clear asn.

so i passed the activation screen and put my sim card inside. but it still asks me for the unlock code. is it because maybe the pre owner has done the factory settings reset?

do you know if when i factory reset the phone that i have to unlock it again with the code? because i don't have it.

best regards
[Droid Pro General] vivid22:
No, the factory reset does not affect the unlock, neither should a new ROM.

Remember, the phone can only be unlocked when using a foreign SIM card if its in the US, so the chance of people actually doing it over there is very slim...

If ur seller is with Verizon, ask him to call up Verizon and tell them that he needs the unlock code for the Droid Pro- otherwise u will give him negative feedback. I do hope he won't need the actual device when he calls them..
[Droid Pro General] freerider20010:
then i think he was lying that the phone had been unlocked. i write him what to do and when he don't have success i will give any of those ebay unlockers a try.
[Droid Pro General] freerider20010:
unlock code from ebay works. the seller wrote that he become the codes out of the verizon database. perfect now i'm in the droid pro club too :D
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
That was fast :D Congrats..
[Droid Pro General] vivid22:
Well done man:)) Enjoy it!!!
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
Can you tell us who the ebay seller was ? Lots of us still trying to get updated codes!

Thanks.
[Droid Pro General] freerider20010:
here is a link to the ebay page. i hope i'm allowed to post ebay links. but i think in this case its ok...

http://cgi.ebay.com/UNLOCK-CODE-VER...ccessories&hash=item19c29661c3#ht_2132wt_1141

he write in the text that when you have already purchased a code from another seller you should not try his codes but i think he will give you a refund in case that his codes don't work

good luck
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
Thanks Freerider20010, I have already spoken to these guys, they cant help if you have already tried the "standard" Motorola IMEI based unlock codes.

If you are unlucky enough to have a Verizon Pro with the OTA updated IMEI you are still stuck waiting!!.....

Anyone else found an alternative solution??
[Droid Pro General] vivid22:
Mmh.. did you guys just tried getting in touch with the individual seller of the device to see if s/he might be able to get you the original Verizon code ?? .. thats how it worked for me..
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
No unfortunately for me atleast I purchased mine from a commercial ebay trader in the US who is not interested in this issue! Guess I should have tried to get hold of the IMEI before doing the deal, so still looking for a solution!
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
If you know anyone in the U.S. that is a Verizon customer, you could try and have them activate your phone real quickly, get the code from Verizon, and then just re-activate their own phone.

Actually, they might not even need to activate it. I think all that matters is that they've been a Verizon customer for a while.
[Droid Pro General] beachboy08:
I'm am pretty much in the same situation as mcstorey.

Also bought it from a ebay.com seller with bad esn, and here now have to fight with the lock. Cheaply available unlock codes did not work. In the moment got at least gsm running with unlockitnow.com sim card. But not data, no 3G.

Hope anyone will soon find a cable based way to unlock the phone.
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
If you have GSM working without a Verizon SIM card, then your phone is unlocked. Try looking up and correcting the APN settings to get data working.
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
Hi guys. I have the same problem - swiftunlock's code didn't work.

Any news?
[Droid Pro General] Viceroy_N:
I'm also having the same issue.

Phone not activated, unable to unlock with swiftunlock
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
Not much news on this but a "Turbo" SIM seems to be the only thing that works right now, has its own issues though.... Not great if you struggle with signal strength and APN settings need to be re-written.
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
Does data connection (3G) work with turbo sim? What kind of turbo sim would you recommend?
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
I used :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180528752253&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Connects GSM fine(where there is a good signal!) but needs a new APN for your own network for 3G, this is my current problem as the MCC and MNC values are locked to the Verizon defaults and cant be changed.

Im using the ADB editor to try and change the settings but getting stuck trying to remount and/or push the build.prop file back to the phone....

Phone is rooted with z4root, and running original ROM. Just cant get root access from ADB commands?? :mad::mad:

Its driving me nuts!!

Anyone else found a solution?

:confused:
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
why don't you just put it on your sdcard and then copy to the root with the root explorer?

p.s. I've just tried to do that with the original build.prop - copy to sd and copy back with replace. worked like a charm.
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
Doh! didnt even attempt that!!.... Worked first time. Cheers e-buch!!

Still cant write the correct APN values (MCC and MNC now default to 1s) but must be close by now! Are you attempting the same thing??

Surely someone has cracked this!! Anyone??
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
mine is still locked...
[Droid Pro General] JayQ8:
You can change these values by using an app called Market Access, you need to be rooted "use z4root" then in marketaccess go to the custom tab and enter values u want, say your provider's MMC is 419 and MNC is 06, enter 41906 and viola
[Droid Pro General] bestrafer:
Or try APN Manager (apk)

UNLOCK Erfolg !!

Ich habe auch seit Wochen mit einem Droid pro gekämpft, dass durch Verizon gesperrt ist und Codes haben nicht funktioniert.

Nun habe ich via Ebay von einem deutschem Händler eine Unlock Sim gekauft (Universal Turbo sim Unlock, Hersteller i-smartphone)

Es funktioniert. GSM, UMTS, Telefonieren, Daten, alles super.

Und gerade mal 8 Euronen investiert. Kann ich nur empfehlen!
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
Hmm.. mcstorey is trying to make data connection work with the same turbosim, and you are telling that everything works right out of the box...
[Droid Pro General] beachboy08:
I am sorry, should have written in English.

So, my Turbo Sim works like a charm, with O2 Germany.

Created new APN, called O2

MCC and MNC are set to default (MCC=001, MNC=01)

And both, GSM + EDGE as well as UMTS + 3g/HSDPA work. :)
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
beachboy08, please send me the link to PM.

Maybe these turbosim are different.
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
beachboy08 can you share your APN settings with us?? O2 Germany should need a MCC=262, MNC=07 so not sure how you got it to work?

With my Turbo SIM and a combination of Market Access App and APN Manager I can now write APN settings that look right and now save. BUT still no data!!

In Settings>About Phone>Status I can see Mobile network state it lists EDGE/HSDPA depending on location but listed as disconnected regardless of settings? Roaming is always lit but I have settings enabled for data whilst roaming.....

Still nothing!!

Cant wait for the euro spec Pro to arrive and give up a few secrets!!
[Droid Pro General] beachboy08:
So, here it is:

Name: O2

APN: internet

everything else on default

MCC: 001

MNC: 01

authentication type: CHAP (don't remember if this is default)

Good Luck

beachboy08,

there are 2 different turbosims on ebay Germany.

First:

Second:

Both are made by i-smartphone.

Which one did you buy?

Please, tell us! There is a bunch of people waiting for unlock for their Pros..
[Droid Pro General] beachboy08:
dear all unlock-seekers,

there has been a set-back.

This is the Ebay item, i bought: 270693068044

as stated before, out of the box it worked great.

Now, after some days the phone lost all network (data and call), so I had to take the SIM and adapter out.

Only solution was to insert the SIM into my old phone and wait about 15 minutes until the SIM registered on the network.

Since then, I do get a signal again with the Droid pro, but in the moment no data. NO clue, what happened. Could it be, that this is due to connection of SIM, turbo card and phone? It is weird.

I will keep you updated.
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
Try this:

Turn the phone off, hold down r and m and turn it on. Then a menu is shown. Choose" erase cache" and restart the phone. Then go to wireless settings and recreate the APN.
[Droid Pro General] beachboy08:
Hmmmm

all I get is a white triangle with an exclamation mark

What am i doing wrong?
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
Do you have droid 2 bootstrapper installed? If not - install and bootstrap recovery. If yes - run droid 2 bootstrapper and select reboot recovery.

When rebooted to recovery, select wipe cache partition and then select reboot. After that try to set up apn. And tell us did it work or not.
[Droid Pro General] mcstorey:
Beachboy08,

In recovery mode you need to use the "@" key to activate the menu when you see the trinagle symbol, then the return key once you have selected the menu choice you require.

The symptom you descibed is the same I had using my turbo sim for voice. As soon as my phone went out of range for the network of my sim I got this same problem.

The only way to get it to re-connect was either to switch between another sim or leave the phone powered down fro 24hrs.

The clear cache method didnt work for me to fix this sim reception issue or the data connection through APN problem described before.

Still looking for other ways to get data to connect on a locked Droid Pro, there must be a way!!
[Droid Pro General] beachboy08:
I have not figured it out yet what exactly happened, but it works again.

Had to remove the Turbo Sim, put my O2 card (without Turbo Sim) to another phone to get connected to the network again. Loosing network for some longer time really could have been the initiating problem. But then, after putting the Sim card together with the Turbo Sim, I could not get any data connection.

Finally I decided to try it in another phone (unlocked Nokia E65), where the SIM with the adapter fits easily and I played around with the alignment of my SIM card and the Turbo Sim. Fixed it with a sticky tape (TESA) and tried to get data connection. Worked in the Nokia E65 after one attempt, took the package of Sim and Turbo Sim and back in the Droid pro.

And here we are again, EDGE as well as HSDPA working. I can switch data on and off using the data manager, as well as switch between 2G and 3G, works like a charm. All those, trying to unlock the Droid pro, i recommend to invest the few Euro in the Ebay item I referred to before, and try it.
[Droid Pro General] e-buch:
I was hoping that data is not working because of the bad connection between turbosim and sim. Can't wait for my turbosim to arrive!
[Droid Pro General] hsy317:
hi i guess from the first post that you're all europeans with imported droid pros. anyway you're giving a lot of unlock methods that i've never heard of before. i am american first of all, and if i buy a droid pro, it will be at full-retail price and i'd pay for a prepaid plan.

anyway what is this turbo unlock sim? would this work on a droid pro in america? i know about the whole verizon gsm lockdown thing and that gsm only works in europe, but is there a way to use your methods for my droid pro?

also, i'm wondering why you guys didn't wait until the european motorola pro release. if it is gsm, can i import it to america and use it on att/tmobile?

thank you
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
I'm kinda thinking about trading mine for the GSM only version, too, since I might be trying to dump Sprint and get on T-Mobile back home. I just wish somebody would figure out how to unlock this one for T-Mobile and AT&T, because it's always nice to hqve a dual frequency phone.

I can only speak for myself, but I bought the Verizon Pro because I didn't even know another version was coming. Of course, I needed it before I left in January, so it wasn't like I had a choice.
[Droid Pro General] hsy317:
i agree freak4dell - i was wondering if i should buy the droid pro because it might be able to connect to certain prepaid cdma networks (pagepluscellular, boostmobile?, virgin mobile?) which would work for me, but...

i'd also like gsm for h2o or tmobile.

dunno what to do
[Droid Pro General] madrabbitt:
I've got mine on page plus for now... still waiting for a solution to using US gsm carrier's in it.
[Droid Pro General] zhengzone:
dear friends, I have a Droid Pro which my friend give me as a gift, when I insert the Brasil Claro UMTS/GSM card into it, it don't remind me to input a active code, does it means already un-locked?

but, I could never get my Droid pro registerd in network, even I change the modle to UMTS/GSM(not global), can somebody explain what's the problem? is my Droid pro un-locked or not? or it is radio band problem?
[Droid Pro General] Dco1o:
No Help from Verizon!

^^This is wrong^^ Maybe last November they did this, but they don't now. I asked Verizon today and they acted like they had never heard the work "unlock" in their lives, and in fact basically kicked me out of the store for asking about it. I got the same type of response from global support on the phone. Verizon absolutely does not want you to unlock you phone to use another SIM card in it and will do what it takes to convince you that you can't/ I've also had wireless retailers tell me that the phone won't work because it's not gsm capable, but others say that with a local SIM card it will. I'm getting a code from Swift Unlocks guy and we'll see if it works when I'm overseas, my gut says that it will and that Verizon is straight up lying.

I didn't realize that unlocking a phone was sketchier than buying cocaine.
[Droid Pro General] bsweetness:
Then you ran into a batch of people who just didn't know what they're doing or talking about. Especially if they're telling you the phone isn't GSM capable. That should have been a sign to just walk away or hang up right then. They most certainly will give you the unlock code. Just helped a friend call and get theirs less than a week ago. They tell you it will void your warranty, and there are certain qualifications you have to meet, but they definitely will give you the code.
[Droid Pro General] raddy:
Hello Everybody

Just won this mobile phone on an auction in ebay.

I am too from India and wants to use it in a GSM Network.

Anybody unlocked it recently?

Because i didn't purchased it via Amazon Wireless, i hope to face less issues.

Would turbo-sim work if everything failed?
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
i got unlocked my moto recently

it was just a pain, cause codes bought from the code sellers didnt work

i had to ask people to call verizon and they got me the right code

just check the sw version, if its the newer one - high chance bought codes wont work, cause verizon change codes through ota updates
[Droid Pro General] raddy:
Hi

Thanks for your informative message.

How did you get Verizon to send you unlock code for an inactive number ?

Was the person who helped you, the previous owner of that mobile phone?
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
no, that was not the owner, i just sent him imei and esn (meid)

and he got the code for me

i guess he linked the esn to his account and they gave the code
[Droid Pro General] raddy:
How did your friend mapped your mobile phone to his number without having access to your mobile phone?
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
i dont know, im just guessing, he didnt tell me how he aquired it
[Droid Pro General] raddy:
I am planning to buy the mobile phone.

I will use all types of unlocking methods.

If everything fails, can your friend help us too ?

Because we don't have many friends in USA who uses verizon.

So, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Pro General] bestrafer:
Is there someone (having active account/working for verizon) who could help to obtain unlock code for Droid Pro? (I'm neither a Verizon customer nor in US)

I'm willing to pay some $.

I imported one to the Netherlands and then called Verizon and was really sweet and begged and grovelled and said pretty please and the nice woman then gave me the unlock code. She added sternly: in future be aware we only give unlock codes to Verizon customers.

She was sweet. I love her.

hey! im using an unlocked droid pro in Delhi on airtel's gsm network.. wanted to know if you've figured out a way to check balance (if you are prepaid) cus i get stuck on the "USSD Code Running" bit.
[Droid Pro General] aZzz.bZzz:
you should ask your provider for other ways of balance checking, e.g. i could call short number and listen instead of *102#

but its off the topic
[Droid Pro General] devna:
CAUTION!

Im in India on Airtel's GSM network with an unlocked droid pro.

First come first, if you've bought the phone and want it unlocked, please write to swiftunlocks.ebay@gmail.com <- HE IS THE MAN!!! :D

most other online people wont be able to do it, as i experienced first hand (spent loads of $$$) because Verizon changed factory codes that unlock the phone from their GSM network.

More importantly, if you're on a GSM network, id advise against buying this phone cus you wont be able to run ANY USSD code (essential to your life if you are on a prepaid plan like me) AND you'l lose connectivity on a regular basis - my phone seems to be in love with the Global setting over the gsm one and whenever this change happens, you lose connectivity for 15 mins or so..

plain annoying.

Its not the network cus I use two phones with the same network, one works smooth as hell and the same network on the droid is plain pathetic.
[Droid Pro General] devna:
gsm servers usually dont have methods of doing the same thing other than *120# etc

if exist someone who can give us codes .I pay 50euro for the correct code!

because where I did the others xt610 it s not listed

thx !
[Droid Pro General] fingershop:
I see in this thread that there are a number of people who've called Verizon to get their unlock code for their Droid Pro. Some of these people look to be from the US and some from overseas. I'd like to hear more from those folks who did this, and find out the details of how exactly they did get the unlock code. Specifically, what phone number did you call? And what did you tell the service rep?

Here's why I ask...

I have a Droid Pro, but I do not have a Verizon phone number or account. When I call the US or Global Verizon Wireless numbers (within the US) it wants me to type in my Verizon phone number, and because I don't have one, it just hangs up on me! I've tried hitting zero and # and * to bypass this, but it still hangs up on me.

Also, by calling the 800-verizon support number, I did manage to get manually transferred to the VZW US and Global support people, and they both told me the same thing: we can't give you the unlock code because you don't have an account with us.

I'll be traveling overseas, and I really need to unlock my DP. Any tips on how to actually do this?

Thanks

PS: I did send an email to swiftunlocks@gmail.com but I haven't heard back from them yet.
[Droid Pro General] fingershop:
Update:

I heard back from swiftunlocks a day later, I bought the code via paypal, and received it the day after that. I inserted a foreign sim card I had from a previous overseas trip, started my phone, and it prompted me for an unlock code. I entered the swiftunlocks code and it says the unlock was successful! But I can't really test out the gsm connection until I'm in a country that is not the US, since the US gsm networks are all band-locked by this phone.

Btw, swiftunlocks said that 60% of the Droid Pro phones out there have had their internal unlock code databases updated by verizon over the air, so these phones won't accept third party unlock codes. Perhaps luckily, my phone hasn't been on verizon's network since shortly after the phone first came out, so I guess it never got those code updates.
[Droid Pro General] palmerfr:
hi all,

I've just received my Pro. I love it so far...

I've been able to unlock it by using a universal sim unlock card and connect to Orange France.

But impossible to get datas working.

I've wiped the cache (following the instructions in this thread) and created a new APN with Orange France settings, then saved it. When back to the APN screen, the newly created APN doesn't appear...

I've also allowed datas in roaming, still no chance...

If one of you has an idea... before I resell the phone, waiting for the EU version of it.
[Droid Pro General] bestrafer:
do not change mcc/mnc, leave them as they appear when you create a new APN (you just need to enter name, apn and type=default)

I received an unlock code from SwiftUnlocks but it didn't work. When communicating with him initially, he warned me that Verizon had done something to prevent some unlock codes from working and offered to give me a partial refund if it didn't work. He refunded me back promptly when I told him the code didn't work. Give it a try though. Worth it if it works. :D
