How do I unlock my HTC S620 ?
Morning,
I am off on a few trips to Europe over the next couple of months and want to put a local SIM in my S620 so I can receive free incoming calls etc. Can anybody advise me please on how to get my BT HTC S620 phone unlocked so it will accept a new SIM ?
Thanks v much.
You can only get the unlock code if your contract has expired. If it has ring customer options 0800 7832 326.

Thank you and make it a great day?

How can i unlock my iphone 4? carrier doesn't give me an answer or anything!
How can i unlock my iphone 4? i'm from belarus. i bought it in austria (on ebay auction), contract t-mobile is ended. i ask a question to t-mobile and have no answer! i don't want to use jailbreak or anything illegal!
it's not just an apple thing htc, samsung and nokia also don't offer to sim unlock phones
the whole point of sim lock is that the user pay less then the phone cost because the carrier pay the rest
if it's not in your contact or the laws of the country you live in then the carrier is not forced to unlock it ever
and if the phone producers started to sim unlock phones they would face a HUUUGE lawsuit
and other carriers would start to stop carrying that brand -
How do I unlock voice activation on iphone
How do I unlock voice activation on iPhone 4
Hi Kilted Tim, thank you for your quick response.
Yup, I've had the unlimited plan for about 4-5 years, and I do everything I can to keep from losing it, for obvious reasons.
As you advise, I've been using the iphone in airplane mode with wifi activated which works fine when I am in wifi range. But of course when I'm out and about I want to use my data roaming for internet, maps, skype, whatever so I take it out of airplane mode.
The trouble is that I get incoming calls and am charged international rates even when I dont answer. I havent looked lately but I think AT&T charges me for one minute even for unanswered incoming calls.
Any ideas?
Many thanks! -
How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?
How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!
If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone. -

How can i unlock my Sprint iphone5 with IOS 7.4.0 to be compartable with other service providers here in the U S?
You can't. Sprint phones can be unlocked ONLY for use on non US carriers. They can not be used on any US carrier other than Sprint. If you want to use a different carrier in the US, sell the phone and buy one you can use.

How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?There is no such thing as an unlock code. Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???
If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution. -
I am locked out of my iPod and it says i cannot restore or back up due to me needing to unlock it and obviously i don't have my password. Please help, how do i unlock it?
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password) -
HTC S620 used as a modem - unsuccessfully.
The instruction book says I can use the phone as a modem, to give internet access to the asociated PC (a Toshiba Tablet running XP Pro to SP3, in my case).
The book says the phone to PC link can be either Bluetooth or USB cable.
For the Bluetooth, I've paired the phone to the PC, then invoked Internet Sharing on the phone. At this point the phone tells me to set the PC to the Bluetooth PAN. I do that, and both the PC and phone give their status as 'connected'.
However, the PC browser cannot connect to the Internet (AKA get any response from Forums or standard company sites like the BBC). While both pieces are in this connected status I can open up the Browser on the phone and connect to the Internet.
Connecting the phone and PC together via a USB cord, and invoking Internet Sharing, is simpler, apparently successful, but also ineffective as far as accessing the internet from the PC.
I'm wondering if I'm missing some vital step in setting up Internet Sharing.
Has anyone else ever managed to use the HTC S620 as a modem?
I have tried the BT Helpdesk, who suggested the problem was with the phone (reflecting my opinion).
I've asked HTC (0845 890 0079) and they have gone away to investigate, returning after a couple of prompts to suggest I do a cold reset on the phone. This smacks of desperation, with no guarantee of success, and I'm not sure what additional workload this will give me in terms of rebuilding it back to it's current state, applications installed, etc.
I've looked if I can upgrade or update the Windows Mobile 6 operating system.
I see the current is 6.5, but I need to install 6.1 first. After failing to install 6.1 from Microsoft US (with an error message saying invalid lanuage setting) I enquired of HTC, who tell me the S620 phone will not support 6.1.
Cynically, I'm not sure whether to believe them, although it wouldn't be the first time I've met an error message that was inaccurate.
Does anyone else care to comment about running 6.1 or 6.5 on the HTC S620?
As you can see, I've given the problem some attention before asking for help, but that's what I'm asking for now :-)
Thanks.Thankyou both.
I wanted to use the phone as a modem 2 or 3 times a month, and while the facility is 'nice to have' I'm not sure about investing in a newer smartphone.
I think I'd rather spend money on a pure Internet access dongle for the PC, either a plug-in or more likely one that sets up a small WiFi network, like those availble from the Three network.
I just have a suspicion that a dedicated device will give better service. I'll accept poor service if it's free (built into a device I already have) but if I'm going to have to pay then I'd rather get the best (most suitable / cost effective) device I can.
I do have the 10MB per month allowance, most of which is wasted each month, so I do have some headroom for experimenting with the phone. Currently my mobile bill is 00.00 per month as I never go over the limit of the speech or data allowances.
Of course, if I bought such a dongle I'd also be buying another data allowance, so the 10MB / month on the phone would still be wasted.
After making my original post I found a forum that seemed to have lots of posts, over a considerable time, relating to upgrading the S620 to 6.1 or 6.5. Some of them seemed to claim speed benefits through better design (compared to v6.0).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=45063678
At this point it helps to understand that the S620 is also called the Excalibur.
As MarkV mentioned, I did wonder what I was going to lose by crossing to the wrong side of the tracks. I don't use BT Talk at all, in fact BT have withdrawn the service from me. At least, that's my understanding. It's no loss at all, to me, so I'm not bothered. I'm not really sure what else I'd loose. Probably all those applications shown as BT something, which I've never used anyway!!
I've almost convinced myself to experiment :-)
Thanks again. -
Trying to update OS on an original iPad. Connected to iTunes -- screen is locked showing iTunes/USB cable icons. iTunes says must restore to default settings, but receive an error message 3014 that this cannot be done. Cannot unlock screen to use nor can I update or restore, so iPad not usable at this point. How can I unlock screen so I can use iPad, how do I fix this error? Latest version of iTunes is downloaded and I've followed all the instructions in regard to Windows. I'd at least like to unlock iPad so it can be used. Thanks.
bummer. *Note that if you are actually running iOS 5.1.1, that's it for the iPad 1st Gen.

My Ipad is in a locked rotation. How can I unlock it? carolynmunson
My Ipad is in a locked rotation. How can I unlock it? carolynm.
Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Ipad disabled. How can I unlock without restoring on Itunes? Need the photos

When you have important videos/photos on your iPad, you should backup frequently.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I did not sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and I have forgotten my password and now it is locked. I have the recovery mode screen at "conect to iTunes", but iTunes is not recognizing it. How do I unlock it?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
