[QUOTE=all i want is a bloody code for a LG VIEWTY ku990 locked to tesco mobile
imie no 35493502750xxxx
a virtual pint for anyone who can assist and prevent my blood pressure rising any higher :beer:[/QUOTE]
you can unlock most viewtys' with software. go to 'mygreatphone.com' and check out the ku990 forum, there's loads of info and downloads in there (been using them for a while now).
not only can you unlock them, but there's a list of official network firmwares in there too, so once you've unlocked your tmobile viewty, you can put your 3 sim card in then upload the 3 software too. it'll all be set up so you can use your wap/mms instantly!!!:D
it's not just for lg's though (but that's the most popular model) it covers iphone, htc, sony ericsson, nokia etc
also, some software for unlocking some sony phones - 'aerixgroup.com'
you have to register with them so you can access their server to unlock your phone
if anyone can find a clean copy of it, there's software called 'world unlock code calculator 4.4' i've seen my local market unlocker use in loads but i can't find a copy that's virus free :-(
before i go, i have one question for everyone -
WHY ON EARTH ARE PEOPLE LISTING THEIR IMEI NUMBERS!!! THESE SHOULD BE KEPT AS SECURE AS YOUR BANK DETAILS!!
(sorry for shouting, need to stress this point!!)0 -

I have tested it on my phone and it worked fine, it finally displays the Network unlock code which you type back into the mobile to unlock.
I'm not sure of the post instructions and rules but this is the link to the site : http://pb4kn.co.uk/ks360_unlocking.htm
The full instructions are :-
Found 8/5/09 at : http://pb4kn.co.uk/ks360_unlocking.htm
LG KS360 FREE network unlocking!
This works without uploading anything to the phone. Just follow the instructions carefully.
You will need 4 bits of software to perform the unlock - get them all now
Download the USB flash loader driver here go the the download USB driver section and find the KS360 United Kingdom Driver.
http://uk.lgmobile.com/web/web.product.manualSoftwareRF.laf
Download the Orange Firmware here (it doesn't matter if you are on Orange or not - it does not get uploaded to the phone, it is just required to make the following software work).
http://ks360.assembla.com/wiki/show/ks360/Liens_LG
Download the Extract program here
http://www.pb4kn.co.uk/extract.zip
Download the LG Utils zip file at the top of the list here
http://www.assembla.com/spaces/ks360/documents?c=documents.updated_at&d=down&page=1
You will also need the USB cable which came with the phone - but don't plug it in yet.
You should also make sure you have saved all your phone numbers just in case - I have carried this out several times without any problems, but you can never be too careful.
Follow these instructions very carefully:
1. Install the USB flash loader software (contained in a folder in the first download above)
2. Switch off the phone and leave it off. Do not switch it on until you complete step 14.
3. Plug the USB cable in the computer and phone - wait for it to install all the drivers loaded at step 1
4. Unplug the phone and leave it switched off
5. Create a new folder on your computer (I suggest c:ks360)
6. Double click the Orange Firmware cab file downloaded earlier
7. Select all the files in the cab file. Copy and paste them in the folder c:ks360 - you will need to click save file a number of times.
8. Unzip and run the extract program downloaded earlier
o Type c:ks360Inf_WebDnld.dll and press enter
o Type c:ks360V10G.wdb and press enter
o Type V10G_04 and press enter
o Press enter (and wait a few moments)
9. In the folder c:ks360, some new files will have appeared. Rename KS360AT-XX-V10x-ORG-XXX-SEP-23-2008_slb.flb to KS360.flb
10. Extract all the files from the LG Utils zip file downloaded earlier
11. Run KS360-Utils-EN.exe and choose option N
o type \.USB1 and press enter
o Type c:ks360ks360.flb and press enter
o Type STATIC_EEP (get ready to connect the phone)
o Press enter then within 1-2 seconds, connect the phone (still switched off) (timing is critical!)
12. If successful, a new file called STATIC_EEP will appear in the folder where KS360-Utils-EN.exe was unzipped
13. Copy STATIC_EEP to the c:ks360 folder
14. Run KS360-Utils-EN.exe again and select option O and press enter
o Type c:ks360STATIC_EEP and press enter
o The unlock code appears - write it down and close the program.
o (If you get an error message, repeat steps 11-14 - the timing at step 11 is critical to this working)
Now you can unplug the phone and switch it back on
1. Enter the following number (as if you were dialing a phone number): 2945#*71001#
2. When prompted for a password, enter the number you wrote down in step 14, press OK, restart the phone......SUCCESS!! Your phone is now unlocked
3. If this has helped you, kindly consider a small donation (see below!) - Many thanks :-)
Hope this helps somebody else - My local market stall wanted £15 to unlock this phone. I'm not an 'expert' and can offer no further advice other than it worked for me.
would this work for a LG COOKIE KP500?Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself.I walk with the world & the world walks with me!I don't make bad choices!!! Other people just fail to see my GENIUS !!!!0 -

Does anyone know if there is a unlock code for the HTC Magic?
Thanks0 -
Tested 15/05/09, original network unknown (no sim) new sim Orange PAYG
1. Insert the 'wrong' sim card (the one you wish to use) into the phone, a message saying "wrong sim card" should appear on the screen. You can only make SOS calls at this point.
2. Enter in the phone *#9998*3323# (the 3323 will appear on screen as ----)
u will now see the option ‘Exit’ on the left side of the phone. Hit the left soft key to exit.
4. Press the "7" key on the key pad. Your phone will now reboot. (Turn off & turn on automatically.)
5. After the phone turns back on it will be unlocked to your sim card in the phone. To finish unlocking the phone do the following steps.
6. Enter *0141#
7. Then hit the call button as if you were calling the above number. A small box saying "Personalized" will now appear.
The phone is now locked to your ‘wrong’ sim card and should work fine.
If you wish to change to another card, follow the same procedure
I tried the following but it failed miserably:-
8. Turn off your phone take off the battery, insert a different sim card than the one that was previously in the phone.
9. When you turn on the phone it will ask you for a "SIM unlock code" this number is "00000000" or 8 zeros.
10. Press OK & now your phone is unlocked to all networks.
I haven’t tried this:-
11.To change your WAP browser settings, enter *2767*927# this will reset your WAP browser, then enter *#87927# & edit one of your profiles.0 -
