Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

need to unlock my phone to flash a rom, but the only one i found didnt work for me. told me that i already unlocked a device which i know is not true. just got my phone the other day. had tp before. anybody got ideas? i need help. :banghead:](*,)

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

I am having the same problem after being sent to this page by Might Mike's thread:
http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/hard-spl.php


I'm a complete newb and have never tried to install a cab, let alone unlock a phone, until this week.
Keep in mind, this is my private internet connection and computer that no one has access to but me.

When I tried to run the "HArd SPL" unlocker it fails, claims I've unlocked multiple phones, and then prompts me for a donation here:
http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/hard...58100022681775


I've got no problem supporting developers, especially if I keep Windows Mobile and keep this TP2 unlocked.
But whatsup with using a false claim that I've unlocked a phone before to try to get me to pay?

Frankly, I'm only trying Might Mike's ROM as a last attempt before I flush windows mobile down the toilet after five years.

Can somone provide a fix to use this unlocker or a link to another?

Thanks

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

There is only 1 unlocker and yes it is it..if it is saying you already unlocked it is possible that when you used the hard-spl for the original TP and their license server can't tell the difference.

The other possibility is the phone was already unlocked or relocked on another pc if you got it on ebay or referbished

The internet has nothing to do with it have you tried using another pc?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

c6, you do have a tp2, info. shows tp and wanna be sure? is the tp2 refurb or nib?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

are you running just the hard spl, or the sim unlocker?

edit: this is the page you want to just unlock the spl to do rom changes. to unlock the sim for different radios, thats another story.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Thanks for the responses. :)

The TP2 was shipped brand new in the box directly from Sprint Corporate.
I've never even downloaded a cab for any of my MS phones before this week and I'm the only one who uses my internet connection and desktop.

This is exactly the same place, and the same file I downloaded, as per "Mighty Mikes" thread.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

did you hard reset the phone? (send and end buttons and power button all pressed at same time)

this might be worth asking in the hard spl thread-

ps dont forget to hit the thanks for the people that helped

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Thank you. Thanks button checked for all posts.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

where we at on this, im curious to see how this plays out?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

no where. the servers have him flagged for unlocking more then once. weather thats actually true doesn't matter. he'll have to submit trouble ticket or pay the 6 bucks and change.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

I agree in that I have no problem donating as they've worked hard and deserve it, but there have been more than one instances where first time flashers have been told it's not their first and people that have paid for full unlocking of their phone, got a new phone under warranty or insurance and have had to pay again to unlock....

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

I agree, Olipro's HSPL is very troublesome. I see so many people... so many FRUSTRATED people going through so many steps, donating several times, emailing the author and STILL cannot unlock their friggin phone. In many instances, the author had not responded to their emails. As far as I have seen. the author has not replied to posts in XDA's thread for quite sometime. This unlocker bugs the hell out of me. Believe me, I appreciate the hard work these guys do, but come on, this app is full of so many bugs. They desperately NEED to update it . This is the first unlocker I seen that has had this much trouble with it. It's ridiculous.

I tried it and didn't get far with it on Windows Vista. I have XP on my home PC and the only internet I have is VZ's broadband via my TP2 so I CANNOT use that. I used my sisters Vista laptop and ran into a ton of trouble just trying to get the file extracted from the zip. Vista or some other app in it kept deleting it everytime I extracted it, or I would get a file with 0 bytes. Extracted it on the phone and sure enough, it extracted no problem. I didabled all AV stuff on Vista, but STILL something was getting to it before I could even see it. Gawd I hate Vista to death!

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

if he abandoned the project then i can help with sharing the file i paid for to use only once :) as long as i get the thanks button hit lol

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

I have done it twice already and on the same phone. The first time when I got my phone, to see if it would work, then I relocked it and I did it again just a week ago. AVG gave me a bunch of problems, but I unistalled it and it worked great. For some reason my laptop rebooted (I think I was uninstalling another program at the time and it rebooted) So I ran it a third time so I can make sure it's unlock. No problems at all. What you hearing is very limited amounts of complaints. You don't see many threads saying "How great it worked" and "Smooth installation!! No Problems" Becasue not many people post those types of threads. They only post when there is a problem. So don't judge a product solely on the complaints, ask for people opinions also, see if you can get the ones that it worked smoothly for to reply. :headbang:

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

why are you bumping this thread? you have already been told a few times what your options are. Do you have a new question we can help you with?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

I have run into the same problem... Tried the unlocker, says I have already used it and I haven't. I don't mind donating for their work, IF IT WORKS! So far it doesn't... I submitted a ticket, and get back an e-mail saying it will work if I donate... If that is what is going on here, they should just say that... I am not going to throw money at it hoping it will work...

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

This is exactly why I stopped fussing with it. Since when did we have to pay to get our phones unlocked, let alone pay and then still not be unlocked? When did you ever need an internet connection to have to unlock your phone? Not up til this device. The GSM people don't gotta deal with this mess, why should us CDMA people gotta do so? I'm not complaining, or whining, I'm just frustrated with this and trying to make a point. Heck, I might as well send it out someplace and THEN pay them to unlock it for me. At least I know it will be unlocked and not have wasted 20 - 30 bucks to do so. Such a royal pain in the ass.

Sorry for the rant. No flames please...

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Its not about that..the reason why they do the activation thing is to prevent their hard work from being used by others to make money. If they chose they could not release the unlocker at all. But it would be nice if they could put up some site where you can log in and see the date, time and the device you unlocked..this way you know why exactly this is happening rather then guessing.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Not true. the gsm tp2 and a few other devices have the same hspl unlock process. and it's only 6 bucks and some change, not 20 to 30 dollars.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Let me be clear, NO ONE has EVER used my computer, or my internet connection, to EVER modify a cell phone before.

This is not a matter of documentation.
This is a FALSE claim by the develpoper web site followed by a solicitation for payment.

As ready as I am to dump windows mobile in the toilet, I would spend $6 to unlock my phone and install a ROM as a final attempt to keep my TP2.
But, in light of the fact these issues are not being addressed publicly, and I have not received a response to my e-mail, Android is looking better and better.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

So it's $6 for each phone or is it $6 then you have unlimited unlocks?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

each. if you have a bulk need, then you can discuss a price with them.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Have you unlocked any other device other then a TP2? like a TP?

That is what I am saying in your case you don't know why or what..and it would help if developers actually made a site/program that lets you see when you last unlocked and what you unlocked it would solve the problems.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

This issue STILL has not been addressed in public threads by the developer and my e-mail STILL has been unanswered.

No. I have never even downloaded a CAB until last week. I have always used my WM phones exactly the way they were delivered from the carrier.
You can't get more clear than my previous post:

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

yes the developers rarely respond from what I hear...just to confirm 1 last thing..who is your ISP?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Home= Comcast
Mobile = Sprint

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

The thing that gets me is, you attempt to unlock your TP2. Or at least you start to run the software, it tells you some BS that a device has already been unlocked and that you must donate to get another usage out of it. You pay, then you try again, once again it fails, and now you have to pay yet again. The software is faulty. It incorrectly reads the device and forces you to donate. They really NEED to fix this. It needs to be fixed so that an unlock process is 100% verified complete. NOT half finished, which is usually the case. That way if it fails, you can simply try the process over again until the SPL is fully unlocked, and you won't have to pay a donation. Yes, donations are good. It helps the authors out, BUT, it shouldn't be forced upon constantly just because the software incorrectly reads the results of the unlock process. This is just plain ol BS. Sure, i'll donate, once, but ONLY IF I know 100% for sure that my phone will be 100% unlocked after the software runs.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Why don't they just come out and say, "it costs $x to unlock a phone". It's not a freakin' donation if they are charging you before you can use it LOL... All they are doing is making people crazy trying to figure out why it doesn't work. It seems a bit deceitful to me...

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Now there is the catch22. I have unlocked my phone (same phone) twice, with no problem from the unlocker. Once I uninstalled the AVG it went smoothly. But alas, I have to relock my phone and send it back, USCC is sending me another TP2, the camera is really grainy on this one. The camera in the TP was 300% better. So now I get to see if the unlocker will work for my new (prbably refurbished) phone Monday or not. :(

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

it won't work for you if you try it on the same computer or internet connection that you used when unlocking your first phone because they log that info and store it on the unlocker server. the unlocker only allows one free unlock. you have to get on a different computer using a different internet connection so that when you download the unlocker and run it, they will not see that you've used it before. And make sure the antivirus and firewall is turned off when you do it. these things are mentioned a zillion times in the unlocker thread. just wanted to make sure you know this so that you're not one of the 2 or 3 people complaining about the unlocker not workin.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Well, that may be a problem. Hmmmm I guess I can do it at work, but I can't shut off the anti-virus there. Oh well, it doesn't matter too much, I like the stock ROM, but always wanted it unlocked in case I wanted to flash to something different. Not a big deal staying on stock.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

you can always go to a friends or borrow a friends laptop or something. of course you have the pay option too. you could run the unlocker on the same one you used on your first phone, and then if it does detect you like it should, you just click the pay option and pay the 6 bucks and change and then the unlocker will continue with unlocking your phone. or if you don't want to pay, and the unlocker detects that you've used it before, then you can send them a ticket from their website with your imei # and wait for them to unflag you from the server.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Razorloves-

Why would we pay the $6 if we have NEVER unlocked a phone before and the developers ignore these threads and emails?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

thats a very small price to pay to unlock your phone and have the freedom to flash roms and radios. if you feel unlocking your phone is not worth a measly 6 bucks then move along. perhaps your ticket was ignored cause you didn't provide the proper info. who knows. it really sucks that you have this problem and i do feel for ya, but what can you do. it's just a couple people trying to provide the world with a service. they are not some big company. jmho

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

I think you're missing the point.
I'm happy to pay the $6 if I KNEW it would give me the ability to unlock my TP2 for the rest of my ownership.

But, since these threads are being ignored, and I can't even get a response, I have no faith that the unlocker is going to work in the 1st place, let along ongoing.
Add the fact that we're all being accused of "previous unlocks" when we KNOW there are no such attempts, and it get;s even shadier.

All the developers have to do is get on here and address the situation in order to restore faith.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

Yup.. similar to what I just said. If I knew for a fact it would work, I would gladly pay the donation. Even if your A/V is disabled, the unlocker still has many problems and doesn't work half the time. And why have to pay AGAIN simply because it didn't work the second time around? You should only have to pay once , and the HSPL should 100% unlock your device without forcing another donation. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be negative, just trying to make a point. And to those of you who think I am whining or making a big fuss over this and that I should just move on and forget all about it...umm no. I am NOT whining. I just want something that WORKS. Is that so hard to ask for?

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

you guys really have no clue how many people unlock their phones every day with no problems at all. EVERYDAY! The unlocker can be finicky and require a computer savy person at rare times, which is unfortunate, but to say it doesn't work half the time is a joke. Most of the time the problem is caused by someone not following the instructions in the first post. Which is not a knock on anyone. It's just that some people dont know enough about these phones and computers to follow them properly. Not being able to identify what antivirus and firewall software is running on the computer and then temporarily disabling it causes problems too.

Re: Is there more than 1 unlocker for tp2?
 

YOU obviously have no idea how many times the unlocker is NOT working.

The developers STILL have not addressed this issue here.
The developers STILL have not returned my e-mail.
