[Q] Unlocking the Vodafone Smart Mini ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Searching for Vodafone Smart mini unlock codes or a way to crack it on my own.

Is it allowed to bump thread on xda? :cyclops:

bumping threads is usually seen as offensive around these corners.

My little brother bought a Vodafone Smart Mini while he was on vacation in Portugal. It's his first Smartphone. The catch is, the vodafone lady told him he needs to unlock it before being able to use it. The way the lady suggested it, it should be really easy to do. The problem is that I've been googling my ass off and just don't find anything worthwhile. There are "unlock codes" that I simply need to type in with the SIM card I want to use, but these codes are all behind some kind of weird paywall. So right now, he can't use his german SIM card in his new smartphone.
Does anybody have any experience with this? Me and my brother would be really grateful.

Make sure your phone is compatible with the carrier you want to be with, if not you'll be better keeping your money in your wallet

It's a "Vodafone Smart mini" and my carrier is Vodafone.

Maybe I was not that clear, doesn't matter the phone name IF the phone does work on the same frequency and does not use the same technology (gsm, cdma, lte, etc) as your carrier it simply won't work even if you buy and apply it a network unlock code.

For anybody stumbling across this thread in the future:
I bought for 1 Euro a Unlock Code on eBay. 10 Minutes later I got the code and everything works fine now. I'll suggest you do the same if you have a buck to spare.

vibrant to verizon

I'm looking around and I'm curious if I can get a vibrant from tmobile to work on my verizon account somehow. Sorry for the lack of searching but I'm out and about at the moment.
No. Not ever. Sorry. Also post questions in Q&A.
I'm petty sure its impossible. The vibrant is a GSM phone and verizon runs on CDMA.

no. Verizon uses CDMA technology and Vibrant runs on GSM, also ur gonna get flamed cuz its in the wrong section.
No.. that's like trying to say can i install a intel processor on AM3 (AMD) socket. It's two different things and would never ever work.

The actual answer is yes, but not in the US of A - in Europe Vodafone is Verizon partner and it offers GSM service.

And have the widget redirected to Bing. I know you can root it and change it and all that but I still think its unfair to the users who aren't rooting. It's just absurd that they restrict things like this.
Also not a huge fan of Verizon's exclusive apps like Skype, NFL, etc. I know you could extract it in APK format and do it like that but it's not healthy to make exclusive apps.

Iam thinking that you can do it, but first you need to unlock your phone.. First you need an activated Tmobile sim card placed into vibrant to go to next steps... Second look into market searching for "samsung unlock" and install and run it..it will give you the unlock code that the phone will ask you when you replace your verizon sim card, so write down all the info... third turn off vibrand and replace tmobile sim with verizon one and boot the phone... Enter the unlock code that you get from step 2 and enjoy your new unlocked phone!!..
I dont try it yet because I dont have the need, but I think that it will help you ...

This post is incorrect. Verizon does not use sim cards. The method posted here will unlock your phone for other GSM service, but since Verizon is not GSM this will not work.
Also, I really am curious since it happens so often, how do people keep posting in development and claiming they are confused about where to post?
I'm not making fun of anyone, this is a serious question. There are two forums: one is labeled Q&A and one is labeled development. How is it possible so many people make this mistake?

Wow. Some of you people clearly should not be flashing anything to your phones.
I have seen some of the worlds stupidest people on a forum with some of the worlds smartest. If you don't know what qna means then put you fing diaper back and go back to first grade. I'm sick of all this non dev chat in the dev section. If you don't know what cdma and what GSM is then Google it. Don't give the I'm to lazy to search excuse cause that's a bunch of bull.
GSM: most of the world, att T-Mobile.
Cdma: Verizon and sprint.
If a phone is cdma it will not work on GSM. And vise versa.
Now stfu noobs and gtfo.

It's so simple. There are two completely different technologies in question here. Cdma which Verizon uses and gsm which t-mobile and at&t use(which is why I-phone works on t-mobile). And to set the record straight about sim cards,I have seen several black berrys with sim cards on Verizon.

Those ones for Verizon that have SIM cards are the world editions of the phones and can go outside of the USA and use a local carrier that uses SIM cards (e.g. Vodaphone). CDMA and GSM are not compatible technologies. You cannot use one type of phone on the other network.
Lol, let the flaming and ranting begin!!!!!

.. and you... you dropped in the school of respect to others.. so go back to kinder or stay here learning how to be more respectful with others... Thanks for you offenses...bhaaa jaja good afternoon

Is your galaxy s3 network locked

I had my s3 supplied by orange UK and thought that it would probably be locked to orange although there was no branding on the box or phone.
Started looking over the net to see how I could check and found that if you enter *# 7465625# and they read off or disabled then your phone is completely unlocked.
Mine is which is a real bonus so well chuffed.
Sorry if this was already known to everyone but was new to me and thought it might be useful for some people.

Got mine direct from O2, presumed it was locked down tight but using the code you provided it shows as fully unlocked.
Bonus!
Thanks for pointing this out
Could be due to the delay just to get the phones out the networks haven't had time to put their code into Android, perhaps when they get all the preorders out future ones will.
Mine is from Affordable mobiles so I know it will not be locked
I was told that I had a version of orange software on here, although no orange apps etc. But phone was really buggy so flashed with the latest release, been really good since the.
Just pleased its not locked also, helps in the event I don't remain happy with it and decide to sell it.

It certainly looks that way! I got mine on preorder and it came unlocked, whilst other O2 folks who waited till after release got a locked phone.
I asked O2 what benefits there were for preordering with them but they didn't mention it being unlocked! In fact, they didn't mention any benefits!
Vodafone contract handset "box only" means no contract just paid £475 for handset and it's unlocked.
SIII'ed
On orange uk and its locked
Also i can't believe orange have removed the firmware update option with there bloatware
Is T-Mobile batch unlocked? If so, would it work abroad?

Got my rather wonderful Galaxy S3 on Vodafone contract.
Unfortunately that USSD code doesn't seem to work on mine.
The phone and firmware is unbranded though.
So I'm guessing its open to all networks?
Plus the phone arrived in a Samsung white box, and not a Vodafone one.

[Q] Unlock Note locked to AT&T

Hey guys,
I just bought an AT&T Galaxy Note through Craigslist. I've bought other network locked phones before and unlocked it later using these extensive XDA forums. But this Note is locked to AT&T and cannot be unlocked without contacting AT&T for the unlock code. AT&T cannot give me the unlock code since I'm not an AT&T user. Is there anyway I can unlock this phone?
I hear Google has answers...
I swear the "help me unlock threads" keep popping up like cockroaches.

Have you called ATT anyways?? Try it. Or get a code from a third party unlocker on ebay.

You may not be subtle but you are correct. OP should have searched first. Most phones have to be unlocked this way. Thread should be locked before a spammer tries to leave his spamunlocker.com link here.
Ok. I seem to have enraged a few people.
Before I posted this question I searched for a similar question in the forum. The best result was how to unlock using the ATT code. I have already called AT&T and they're not willing to give me the unlock code. I've tried to get codes online. I've tried one and it didn't work. Now I am stuck with a phone that's just a PDA and not worth the money I put into it.
I was actually looking for answers from people who have gone through a similar experience. I thought this would be a commonly occurring issue. But I've tried what everyone of you have written here and it hasn't worked yet. So what should I do?

I bought the unlocked code from ebay around $4 and worked like charm and use the phone now on T-mobile network
If ATT won't give you the code, and they sometimes do even if you are not on ATT, then you have to buy your unlock code. Best bet is to purchase 1 from a vendor on ebay. You also need to be on the stock ATT ROM to do the unlocking. You cannot unlock the phone with a custom ROM on it.
I don't like giving reference to these 3rd party vendors but here is an informative video. If you go to youtube and read the directions with the video you should be fine.

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. I was able to get the phone unlocked through a friend's friend who works for AT&T. He just called customer service and got the unlock code. I think I just spoke to the wrong guy when I called. Anyway, the phone's unlocked and I'm very thankful to all you guys.

[Q] Question

So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

not a stupid question, i did not say if it was unlocked or not
but yes it is, i received the unlock code directly from ATT so im not sure on how to fix this, if the ATT sim works then i will just sell it as an att phone
What modem is showing in the phone ? (needs blaze modem for TMO, if it's an ATT device)
And are your APN settings correct ? (needs the TMO apn's)
Two nails in the coffin for service if not correct.....
just brainstorming....g
And sometimes the network around you has a brain-fart. Sometimes those problems go away within a day.
Everything seems fine I restored it to stock thru kies, but I went to att and tried a live sim and it worked like I should its for some reason only T-Mobile Sims that don't work ugh!

thank you for your reply but i have tried these steps and nothing worked, i just cant understand why tmobile would block the phone if AT&T (which is what service the phone is purchased from) and other GSM carriers have not blocked it at all, just very fustrating!

isn't that second link one of the OPs threads?
Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.
Its just weird that I had this phone working for over a month now and no problems what so ever till now, and its only T-Mobile Sims that are locked out

Have you tried a newer t mobile sim card. Some phones don't play well with the old tmobile sim cards.
