Try sim-unlock.net, worked for me. 5EUR and 20 minutes.
[Droid Pro General] notstandart:
Grr, got a problem. Have a 2 droid pros. Have 2 foreign sim cards. Have codes. None of the phones would recognize any simcards to enter the codes. They both say "No Sim Card" and would just stay at CDMA. I cannot switch them to global or gsm. Anybody ever had this problem?

Motorola Droid Pro

Hi There,

Did you get you Moto finally unlocked?

I have tried few companies, but none of them seems to be able to do it.

Do you may know anyone, who can help?

Thank you very much,

Roman
[Droid Pro General] eromrab:
I tried this and they wouldn't give me one... they said I needed to try to call Motorola...? Any advice?

EDIT: called in again and got it. I would suggest just asking for the Global department right away. They were the one's able to help me.

Official 4.6.8.en.US update

I live in Europe. I have downloaded the official Gingerbread update that was distributed yesterday OTA but have not installed it yet. Bought a SIM lock free Droid Pro from somebody who bought it unlocked from Ebay. Will the official Gingerbread update lock my SIM card slot again?
[Droid Pro General] Khachikyan:
No, no lock anymore
[Droid Pro General] natalie1981:
+1 on sim-unlock.net. I got my unlock code from them. I was set to order with swiftunlock but the fact that they only gave partial refund if the code is not working turned me off. Sim-unlock is cheaper and, at least according to their website, they would give full refund.
[Droid Pro General] jopps:
it didn't worked for me
[Droid Pro General] alexandr1us:
+1 from me. Great website. Received code in 3 minutes
[Droid Pro General] blackbeans:
For those couldn't unlock this phone.

This phone is sucked by Verizon. Phone can be unlocked after activated with Verizon in the first time only. That's why your phones couldn't unlock even enter right codes from code suppliers. The only 1 solution is send back the phone to US and got it activated with Verizon first.

Other option for this phone type lovers is the Sprint Motorola XPRT with similar specs and even bigger battery capacity (1800mah). The Sprint Motorola XPRT is factory unlocked for overseas GSM networks. Just put in your overseas sim card and you are ready to go.

Cheers

Hello everybody, I'm stuck on this phone (droid pro) since a week, it's sim locked by verizon and I already tried 2 codes from different unlock databases with no luck. I'm not a Verizon customer and not in US. I'm looking for a kind guy with a valid verizon contract.... I beg for a call to the customer service (I will pay for that). I'm sure it won't require a big effort, If someone can help please pm me.
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Did you try swiftunlocks? I've heard it's good..
[Droid Pro General] bveditz:
i also used sim-unlock.net to unlock mine. it was about $7 and they give you two different codes to try. The first one i tried worked for me. Also, make sure the IMEI you give is correct as it is from the under the battery and not the 'about phone'. For me, the about phone IMEI was wrong.
[Droid Pro General] zoran974:
Hello everybody,

My XT610 is sim locked by Verizon and I already tried 3-4 codes from different unlock vendors with no luck. I'm not a Verizon customer and not in US. I'm looking for a kind person with a valid Verizon number.... Ready to pay some bucks.

If someone can help please.

Hi, I just got my email to join the beta. I am using a build on my htc leo right now and when I goto download the installer apk, I click the link and it just goes right to download unsuccessful. Anyone else having this problem or had it?

I am not sure if this is cause of how I run android or if it's just cause I am using the phone data and not wifi (which they make a big deal about you using cause it's 10 megs)

Anyway if you got some information for me please let me know? Also for the admins, I know we can't post swype as it counts as pirated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] squish099:
Ok I got the same email.. I thought my problem was the build.prob listing phone as hd2 so I changed it to ace.. Tried again fail.. Turned mobile browsing back on and it work!! Not sure which did it but it installed and licensed.. Hope that helps..

swyped from my HD2 Android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RiffyDivine:
How did you get it to change, just a simple eidt of the prob file? I assume you made the change and rebooted to get it working so it would then lable itself as a ace. Hmm, I shall try this. Thanks and any more info you can give me would be great, oddly enough I got into the beta with each of my emails I have used lo.

I assume you edited this line "ro.product.model=Nexus One" Mine currently says nexus one.

I currently use this build (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823471)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] squish099:
Yes that's the line I edited. In my desire hd build it said hd2.. I changed it to ace.. I believe you should be fine then. Make sure the browser is set to mobile browsing.. I thought it was a problem but I don't know for sure. Guess I can boot my desire build, and try there as I haven't changed the build prop on it..

swyped from my HD2 Android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RiffyDivine:
Thanks, I am reloading my HD2 as we speak. Something I was working on more or less nuked my build. Oh well live and learn. But I will try seeing it to mobile once I get it back up and will post back to you. Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] squish099:
so booting my desire blue topia build launcher forced closed.. Fail.. Guess its shot.. And now swype doesnt swype on my blue topia hd build.. Wow!!

Edit: reset to touch input then back to swype now it swypes again..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RiffyDivine:
How did you set it to mobile browsing?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] squish099:
In browser, menu, more, settings, make sure mobile browsing is checked

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RiffyDivine:
Odd, well it seems to want to work now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] squish099:
So it works?

swyped from my HD2 Android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RiffyDivine:
Aye, when I reloaded another build it just downloaded without any issues and installed fine. So now that I got the right apk file I am good now. I will just move it to my thumb drive should I load another build to test again.

I wouldnt normally signup to this type of forum but its important. (ignore this bit... posted that on the t-mobile forum)

Anyone reading this dont upgrade!

Anyone reading this dont upgrade!

Anyone reading this dont upgrade!

I liked the phone before the upgrade with only GPS being a slight problem which got fixed after changing gps.conf (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731462).

Now the games I used to play and even movies slow down. Games like "Tower Raiders" struggle to run at full speed but the biggest problem is the UI. Its no longer smooth scrolling and the idle screen lock sometimes does not unlock the instant when swiped. This is not nit picking but when your using the phone as a phone… I want to make calls NOW not in a few minutes after the UI resets.

Ive always modded my phones and this one I didn’t want to because I liked the default system. Now I need to back level the phone due to its unusable interface. Not sure if this is something T-mobile will assist with but most likely need to do this myself. I wanted a factory phone and ended up being forced back down the mod firmware route.

dont upgrade!

GT-I9000

Firmware 2.2

I9000BOJP3

FROYO.BOJPB

just wish I wrote down my old firmware details.

message for the XDA members

Does anyone know how I can back level the firmware? I dont know what it was before kies did its stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
have you done the ole faithful factory reset have upgraded 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robos:
No Problems

Ran the upgrade last night, phone runs much better with many things now working as they should have before the upgrade
[Galaxy S I9000 General] purg:
Your last post was regarding vodafone 2.2 with the kies. Which firmware are you using, vodafone or tmobile. god knows about vodafone but know tmobile from the support pages have changed this firmware in some fashion.

--------------

not thought about factory reset, thanks i'll try this tonight as I use the phone for business. Games I can live without but for me, 2.2 brought very little over the loss of UI speed. I might have missed something outstanding in 2.2 (flash support not being one of them) but hope clearing the phone before retrying helps speed things up. All I can say is that before the 2.2 upgrade I was very happy, now im to be honest a little naffed off.

No need to apologize to us...we are sorry for you! You fixed GPS and degraded every other aspect of the phone. Good luck with that!

HEY! I MADE THE BLACKBERRIES STUCK IN THE PAST JOKE ALREADY! :mad:

[Captivate General] nyydynasty:
the torch is definitely not an upgrade over the captivate (i've had one). But good luck with it!
[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
We see this a lot on these forums when someone "gives up" an a device to purchase a replacement, and the psychology is simple: If this person traded in their captivate for a different phone and was truly 100% happy with that choice in every way, that person would happily move on and never think about their old Captivate and certainly not visit and post in Captivate forums.

However, when someone feels the need to visit the forums of their old device and argue their case about why their new one is better, then that person is simply trying to talk themselves into believing it and seeking validation.
[Captivate General] ronf1011:
And larger screen, Right??
[Captivate General] xredjokerx:
that isn't necessarily true... I still visit my old tilt 2 forums and if the situation were to arise, i would recommend the captivate to everyone.

What I say is... to each their own. If you like having the torch then so be it. Each end user has a different expectation from their device. Personally, the blackberry OS is too stuffy for me.. but if you really enjoy it over the captivate then enjoy! there are plenty of crackberry forums out there who will let you "mod" your device--though i doubt it'll have as many customization abilities.

Farewell.

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
This is becoming more and more common. Does it bother anybody else? I mean i dont lose sleep over it, but it kind of ruins the "community" feel and turns things into more of a business.

Donations are slowly turning into payments. This is precisely why i PERSONALLY never believed in the word donation in the development world, but lets not get into that debate.

I mean, if a dev/dev team is really good, im sure they get more than enough donations to fund their work, seeing as though im always seeing people on the forums talk about how theyll donate or how much they donated. I feel like whats happening is a dev/dev team starts out strong, and at first is just soaking up the notoriety amongst users, and understandably so. But as time goes, and their knowledge and popularity grows, they realize "hey, we could probably make some serious money off this" but then they realize that that just goes against the whole "doing it in your free time" or "doing what we love doing" concepts, so they insist on continuing to label it a "donation".

Let me be clear, I have absolutely no problem with a dev/dev team expecting money in order to grant access to something that is popular

. Thats what a lot of governments are founded on, and these guys definitely deserve a little spending money for all of the smiles they put on peoples faces.

I just dont like the abuse of the word "donation" that takes place

. Why dont you just say "you have to pay for it"? Cause thats pretty much what is going down......

This isnt directed at anyone in particular, im simply curious to see how other people feel about it.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
I feel the same way. Label it as payment/charge/etc and it will be good. Just dont use the word donation when only a donation gets the user access to an area of forums, kernels, roms, other, software. Its just not correct to do
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
It's incredibly silly. In many cases these people are charging for tweaking something that they didn't create and don't even have the rights to redistribute.

When you get right down to it, every ROM here that's built off of one of the leaked Froyo builds is in murky territory. Although parts of those leaks are GPL'd, there are tons of proprietary Samsung bits in there, and if Samsung felt like it they could slap everybody with a C&D on redistributing that stuff.

On the one hand, the people who distribute leaks (and tweaked ROMs based off of those leaks) for free are taking risks by doing so, and they're doing it to help the community. But on the other, you have people who take those leaks, apply their own tweaks to them, and then charge for the completed product. Those guys are basically profiting from the work that others took a risk in releasing to the public, which is ridiculous.

The best way to deal with it is to not simply not "donate" to people who pull such shenanigans.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Its very important that we dont mention names, to avoid flaming.....but i know exactly who you are talking about in particular....
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
The trend started with kingklick and everyone was all up in arms about it

But eventually the rest of the developers followed and now its OK for them and they accept it LOL hypocrites

This is another reason making my decision on NS much easier

Some real development will be underway i miss my N1 XDA support back in the day

Not that i dont appreciate what others have done here just most of it wasn't my cup of tea with exception of Eugene's work

But he left for a reasonable reason too much BS but his work is still freely available :)
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
It would be nice to hear a devs take on this but on the other hand this could just start a huge ordeal I understand what you guys are saying but I don't think this thread is going to help any development at all in fact it may even be counter productive the dev group is growing for the vibrant but I wouldn't say there are enough devs to start pissing people off and making them lose interest in xda all together if its not one thing its another nothing is free in this world eventually if you want something ahead of everyone else you gotta pony up the cash I went to a street fair once at the gate was a booth labeled donations they didn't deny me access when I refused to pay but I didn't enjoy the full access everyone else did when they received theyre wrist bands that got them free drinks your not paying to get in your paying for the cause and the work and the time it takes to create something that millions can enjoy ......i wouldn't get to butt hurt about it its the way of the world be it in day to day life forums or whatever else you think it applies to just my opinion we're all entitled to them I suppose

[Vibrant General] demo23019:
I take back allot of what i said apparently some are still releasing roms here
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
In terms of my opinion, and what im trying to say, the paragraph in bold in the OP highlights my exact problem. I understand the concept and the need for devs to ask for money in whatever form, and i have absolutely no issue with that. But thats what they are, PAYMENTS. The only thing im questioning is why they insist on calling them donations. They are not donations when they are in the format of a transaction.

do·na·tion noun \dō-ˈnā-shən\

Definition of DONATION

: the act or an instance of donating: as a : the making of a gift especially to a charity or public institution b : a free contribution : gift

trans·ac·tion noun \tran-ˈzak-shən, tran(t)-ˈsak-\

Definition of TRANSACTION

1a : something transacted; especially : an exchange or transfer of goods, services, or funds <electronic transactions>

Theres just something about it that seems a bit unethical to me, almost like a bit of a marketing scam. "Donate" has a much friendlier, less threatening tone to it than "payment". Maybe theres a mindset in place that people will be more inclined to "donate" rather than "pay". Im just trying to figure out why they cant just call it like it is.

Regardless of how you may feel about it, theres no question that sometimes it feels like our "community" is faltering in favor of making money.

I haven't ever seen a developer require payment for a complete product here on XDA. Some give early access to buggy ROMs and kernels, but that's it.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I don't. see anyone asking for a payment to get a full version of a rom. some gets it early when you donated but still the ones who didn't still gets the rom later. If that's how they want it to be then let it be.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
Used to have "buy me a beer" links up at the most a couple of years ago. Seems there was more collaboration among devs like LucidRem who was super nice on G1 apps to SD. Was constantly being tweaked by seperate devs to get a better partition solution for example.

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH IT!!

I have been on with Android since Day 1. XDA and the developers who come here are the only reason I am so passionate about my phone and android. Without these 2 things a large part of my "hobby" would be severely hampered.

Developers do a tremendous amount for us. Can you imagine being on JI6 right now? I feel that they get barely anything in donations.... if this is a method for them to beta with a small group and reward those who support them/him, than I think they should take advanatage of that... and if it leads to developers earning a bit more than they would normally, awesome for them.

Cause you know what....

When developers are happy.... WE are all happy!!!

I mean come on, they release them to the public anyway.... is it okay for you to whine about not getting something sooner, that you had no part in creating/making.... what gives YOU the right???

PS, both R14 and Nero_Beta are very tasty... can't wait to get my hands on Axura 2.2 soon also.
