[Q] Advice needed - unlocking from operator - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
my friend who moved from UK to Czech Republic owns Streak, locked to an provider O2, I guess. He wishes to use it with local T-Mobile CZ operator. Is there any costless way to unlock the device? Does flashing with custom ROM does the trick? I was trying to find the answer through the forums - either my english is not enough good to understand well or I am dumb but I couldn't find any straight answer or way to unlock the device without paying.
If there is any way to help my friend, any advice or informationis appreciated. Please be considerate in case I overlooked somehow the information I am looking for. Thank you all in advance.

I think if your friend puts down a request to O2 for unlocking the device citing the reasons for the same, then o2 will oblige and unlock the streak so that it can be used with T-mobile in Czech Republic. It will be a nice gesture on part of O2.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hi!
can I buy the x01ht sim free and unlocked? Or is it only on Contract from SoftBank?

>can I buy the x01ht sim free and unlocked?
It is solded SIM-locked. There is no way to unlock it yet. You cannot change the ROM, either, yet.
>Or is it only on Contract from SoftBank?
Yes, it is only available with a contract with SB.
The price I paid for my x01ht was about US$170 under a contract with which you have to keep using the device with SB for 26 months. There is no official SIM-lock option no matter how long you use your device or phone, which is typical and common in Japan.
As long as you use it in Japan, it's a f**king great deal!!
qtotter,
thanks for your reply, I thought as much.....
I travel to Japan every year and stay for 14-20 days.
I guess I should just get a Vodafone UK version and put Japanese input on it..
Not sure just how simple that is though...

Ofiaich,
Unless you use X01HT in Japan, it would be a useless device elsewhere. Anyway, if you read Japanese, visit this site for guidance to install Japanese fonts and the input method.

It is not really difficult if you understand the steps in a right order. You will need ATOK for PocketPC (which you can buy online at http://www.justsystem.co.jp/atok/atok_ppc/)
The key point is if you install ATOK on WM5.0, it tries to become the default SIP which makes the device hung up. This also happens when you change ATOK setting in Control Pannel. "Def Sip Changer" is a useful tool that detects and prevent ATOK from becoming the default SIP. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000110
There is another option. It seems like the ROM of Docomo's HTC z has been posted somewhere on the net (Unfortunately, not here... why?) If the bootloader of the Vodafone Hermes is older, you can burn this ROM to make it a Japanese device.
Good luck!

Bootloader on SoftBank X01HT is 1.06, if the Docomo hTc Z rom has been released, then it will not match the CID on Softbank's device and he'll not be able to flash it
BTW, where is the Docomo hTc Z rom? do you have a link for it?
Hi pof,
I have not downloaded the ROM myself yet, but the link to the ROM is as follows.
http://www.live-share.com/files/54847/Herm_China.rar.html
I was not suggesting ofiaich try Docomo ROM on X01HT, which does not make any sense. I meant he could try the Docomo ROM on a UK Vodafone (not SB) Hermes since he was thinking about UK VF although I am not sure about the bootloader version of the UK VF unit.
Lol, downloading now... if it's an hermes rom we don't have then I'll put it on the ftp / wiki
Thanks for the link!

Make sure you've chosen 3G connection when you created a new modem connection.
Did that - maybe I need to try another ROM....

I need to be unlocked fast (let's say in 1h after i pay, maximum). Thank you very much.
P.S. i've tried to search on hd2 thread but didn't find nothing about this.
that should be possible
search how to preform a HSPL install and how to update ROM
There is no free sim unlock solution , hspl install does not unlock sim .
Contact korter_gsm on ebay
He sent me a code in less than 2 minutes.
ok. i will contact him.
i saw now his posts, but a little problem that i have is that I don't need to unlock T-mobile version, but European version (vodafone romania). do you know any other place?
P.S. does anybody know something about this website?
or about this website?
HI there. Its korter_GSM from Ebay.
Regarding Vodafone Romania HD2 want to tell you. I have all HD2 codes including newest ones with IMEI 038 and 039 in the middle. But as you may already read somewhere, there are some operators that relocked the phones after receiving them from factory. So as we are providing only Factory codes, for some operators it may be wrong. Tmobile USA and many other operators dont have this issue and code for them are 100% correct. For Vodafone Romania i never checked.
for example. For A1 Austria Factory codes are wrong!
If any other question, contact me at Email [email protected]
or MSN [email protected]
i've made it in Romania, with 25 euro. thx all!

Unlock Samsung s8+ SCV35 AU Japan. This will work?

Hi there,
First of all, my name is Ivan, and I am not english native speaker, I am spanish, so apologies in advance if my writing skill is a bit weird.
I had been looking for a way to unlock the S8+ (AU Japanese version, SCV35 AU KDDI), the websites with remote IMEI unlock are not working, so the only chance is by AU company directly, or maybe changing the stock ROM.
One of the biggest problems with AU in japan is prices are kind of ridiculous every month, for 2 phone lines I pay close to 300 dollars each month (One line with a crappy 1 GB of data), also the share wifi option is disable as they try to make you pay for it, (when I made the contract they were offering it for free, even if I told them I want it, it's still not working).
Anyway, I supposedly found a way to unlock it, it is a guide in a unknown language for me.
I have to use google translator, basically what they say is that:
We need a full ROM of the docomo network (other carrier in Japan).
They include the S8 roms codes, in this case SCV35 - SC03J. They also recommend use Samfirm for the latest updates of the ROM.
After flash the docomo ROM (SC03J), I guess with the home CSC file? (help here), one the SIM status is updated as SCV31?? (they say something about introduce a SIM), the phone will ask to introduce a code (00000000).
Now we just turn off the phone and flash it back to the AU SVC35 stock ROM, and supposedly the phone will be unlocked, and the mention in this second flash, do not remove the CSC. (I guess we will flash it back with the normal CSC, not the home CSC).
Actually I don't know if its properly working, if someone know if can works, looks dangerous, or something else I will be glad to read it, as I need to get rid of this SIM card as soon as possible.
If someone help me to clarify this I will be glad and this can probably help more people in my situation.
Thank you all.

Flash different firmware?

Hi all, I have a UK Vodafone branded S9 plus and I've had it network unlocked, but the handset has a couple of Vodafone apps cooked into it one of them I can disable and the other I can't but my real problem is as I'm on Three UK so I don't get WiFi calling!
My question is can I download the Three UK firmware and flash with Odin without rooting or tripping Knox and then will I still get the official software updates going forward?
I just don't wanna root this device like I do all the rest!!
Sorry if this had already been asked, I've done some Google searching but only found posts from a few years ago!!
Many thanks
Ps. All you developers keep up the excellent work, everybody on here appreciates it.
Ok guys I've found my answer is the below thread . Please delete post thanks admin.
