  • i cant get it to work?

    When I plug my phone into the pc it tries to install hardware for the phone ( i dont have any disks or anything like that for the phone?) and then it uses windows to search for hardware installation using windows update?? and then says unable to install hardware your device may not work properly. Also when i try to run the unlocking software it is unable to connect to the phone.

    Any ideas on how to make it work? It does seem very technical :o

    Does anyone know if its possible to unlock my Samsung e720 with a code?

    I'm selling it and dont want to pay to get it done...
    no official free code but im told this should work, but at your risk and its a bit fiddly.
    1. Switch OFF your phone.

    2. Put in a SIM of a different network provider.

    3. Now turn your phone back on. You will see an error message saying
    "Wrong Card".

    4. Type *#9998*3323# in to your phone.

    5. If you've entered the code correctly as outlined in the Step 4, you
    shall see a screen telling you to press exit. So hit the right soft key.

    6. Now you will see a Menu of choices. Scroll down and select option 7
    (“Jump to Null”). As soon as you select option 7, your phone will turn
    black and reboot itself. After your phone reboots, the SIM will be
    recognized and your SIM will work. (Please be patient while your phone
    reboots and DO NOT press any keys.)

    7. Now, at your welcome screen type in *0141# and hit your call button!
    This will give you a message saying your phone is Personalized.

    8. Power OFF your phone and insert your original SIM.

    9. Once done, power ON your phone.

    10. At the SIM Code prompt, it will ask you to enter a password. Type
    00000000, (that is 8 Zero's). After you enter the code, hit "ok" and
    your phone should power up.
    Your phone is unlocked!!!
    You can now put the SIM of your choice into the phone and use it at your
    will! Without ANY RESTRICTION!

    you will find it actually needs doing each time so now you need to do this

    After doing the above, Turn your phone on with the sim that doesnt seem to work.
    Type *#9998*3323# in to your phone
    select no 1 from the menu (Something about a loop)
    Phone will freeze, and then reboot

    It should register the sim network you want, but its not set to accept this network after the phone is switched off so......

    go to the settings menu and select security
    go to SIM lock and it should be enabled
    select disable and enter the code 00000000
    Switch off the phone

    switch on the phone still with the sim you want to use in.
    enter your pin code if requested, then enter the sim code as 00000000
    It should say "wrong sim" again
    Type *#9998*3323# in to your phone
    select option 7 (“Jump to Null”).
    The phone will reboot
    type in *0141#( This sets the phone to the network on the sim thats in)

    lmk if it works and we will add it to the sticky

    O well, was worth a try.

    after re-reading it, it seems it should stay on the network that you want till you insert another card, you will need to do it again if you want to swap networks. only a direct unlock will make it open to all networks all the time.
  • I know it's quite a new phone but can anyone calculate the unlocking code for a Toshiba TS608 that's locked to SFR? IMEI is 359668004706371. Thanks!
  • Can you unlock this phone please?
