Mobile phone unlocking

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to make a mobile phone unlocking program in Java?
If so can anyone tell me how I would start such a project?
Thanks in advance...

The problem will be the interface with the mobile phones' flashed memory, plus the manufacturers are starting to get very wise: a friend of mine used to do this (not via java). His setup was some program off the net for reading memory, a soldering iron and four cables :) Anyway, his method was to remove the bytes from memory where the "lock" was. That worked until about 18 months ago with a Nokia 3310, now his method doesn't work, they've got some kind of safety.
First of all if you could read the memory via, that would be an achievement. THere are sites on the net that show you how to build something that connects the phone to a serial port, try googling for those? Good luck :)

What to Bring with You
Your old mobile phone, if you’re replacing it.
Social Security number of the account holder.
Valid government-issued photo ID.
Carrier account password, if you have one.
Your Apple ID and password.

According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

How can I swap phone numbers between Verizon and T-Mobile phones?

I have Verizon and T-Mobile phones. My wife uses the T-mobile phone and I the Verzion phone. I was given a GSM iPhone 5 that I want to use on the T-mobile account, so I want to move the Verzion phone number to the T-Mobile phone and the T-Mobile number to the Verzion phone. I do not want to have to inform all our friends about the number swap. I also would like to maintain phones on different networks for reliability and connectivity assurance.
I called the Verizon wireless number and the person couldn't help me. The best I can figure out is to give up on Verizon and move the Verizon phone number to a new T-mobile account.
Any ideas?

They are both 4g phones correct? All verizon phones come unlocked. If the verizon phone works with tmobile all you do is take the sim card out and stick it in the phone. however when you do this it is going to erase everything on the phone so make sure you back it up before swaping sim. As far as using the tmobile phone with verizon you would need to ask tmobile if the phone is unlocked

If i buy a T-mobile's unlocked, contract-free iPhone 6 in US at Apple's website, can i use it in China with a local carrier?

if i buy a T-mobile's unlocked, contract-free iPhone 6 in US at Apple's website, can i use it in China with a local carrier?

The Model 1586 / 1524 happens to be the one most compatible with China
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
If the phone is primarily for use in China - I would look to getting an unlocked version of that
There are contradicting theories about Sprint for international use - so I would stay away from the Sprint model in the US

BB8700 DOES NOT ACCEPT 2 MOBILE PHONES IN CONTACT

I AM USING THE BLACKBERRY 8700, I HAVE MORE THAN 4500 CONTACTS AND MUCH OF THE CONTACTS HAVE MORE THAN 2 MOBILE PHONES, THESE CONTACT IN OUTLOOK SHOWS 2 MOBILE PHONES OF EACH CONTACT, BUT WHEN I SYNCHRONIZE THE BLACKBERRY WITH OUTLOOK , ONLY ONE CONTACT GETS ADDED OR UPDATED IN THE BLACKBERRY WHICH SHOULD BE OTHERWISE AND SHOULD BY SNYCHED EXACTLY AS THE DETAILS OF CONTACT IN THE OUTLOOK WITH 2 MOBILE PHONES. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT, IS THIS A ISSUE ONLY IN THIS MODEL OR ELSE IF THINGS WORK IN THE OTHER MODEL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN PURCHASE THE COMPLIANT MODEL RESOLVE MY MAJOR ISSUE

Do you have to type in ALL CAPS? That is considered shouting and rude in forums, and difficult to read.
You need to open you Desktop Manager and the Sync application and find where the Address Book syncs to Outlook and look in the advanced settings to MAP the fields of the Outlook second mobile number to the BlackBerry device to another field such as "other" or User Field 1 or 2 or 3...

How to login Oracle Social Network on mobile phone?

I downloaded Oracle Social Network at mobile phone, and install it.

user 1015988,
Please note that the forum space for that product is an archived space.
There has been no usable activity in it since Spring 2013.
That archive status and lack of activity suggests the OTN forum site is not expecting it to be continued as a resource.
I suggest you go that link for the software product, get ALL the documentation and every software component download, then consider spending time within the various Oracle Cloud spaces of the forums. Go read months of Cloud postings before you think about initiating your own post(s). You may find that the Social Network product isn't what you initially guessed but is a bigger suite of applications that requires a bigger investment in time and hardware than you choose to do.

Want to know mobile is unlocked or not

Hi. I have bought new iphone 5s from saudi arabia in local shop. Its model No: ME307LL/A. How could i know this mobile is unlocked or not? Can indian sim work in this model mobile?

And, exactly why would you purchase an iPhone, & then after purchasing it, try to find out if it is carrier locked/hacked, or unlocked? Don't you think you should have tried to get this info before you purchased?
If not purchased from an authorized source, the phone could have come from anywhere, & could have been hacked to unlock it...that's the chance you take when you don't purchase from an authorized source.
You can try calling AppleCare to get this info. Here's a list of worldwide support numbers:

I had a problem my iphone 4 mouthpiece doesn't work when i am calling other mobile phone

i had a problem my iphone 4 mouthpiece doesn't work, when i am calling other mobile phone they can't hear me but i can hear them. But when I am using the skype and viber to talk to other people they can hear me perfectly. and also when I record my voice it sounds good i can hear my voice.. i dont know what is wrong with my phone?

I get trying to unlock it and it finally accepted the 4 digit PIN number on my SIM Card, which it wasnt accepting before (there is also a super PIN number, which i dont know whats for). And now it says "no service". I am reseting the phone and sometimes it just says "no service" and other times the SIM Card is locked again and it doesn't accept the PIN number anymore...

Getting contacts from mobile phone onto iPhone

What is the best way to get my contacts from my mobile phone on to my iPhone. I assume I need to push my contacts from my mobile to my mac address book and then sync the iPhone - what steps must I take to achieve this [mainly in reference to pushing my current mobile phone contacts to my mac]?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look like any LG phones are supported.

Check with your cellular provider - the provider you are using with your unlocked iPhone for a method to export the contacts from your LG phone in a format that can be imported by Apple's Address Book.

How do I get my Samsung S4 phone unlocked by Verizon for oversea travel using local GSM sim

I just got my new Samsung S4 phone and need to know how to get this phone unlocked by Verizon so that I can use the local GSM sim card when I am out of the country. In reading some of the community posting, it sounds like Verizon has to unlock my phone before I can use it for GSM. I put in a China Mobile sim card and it keeps telling me that this is a " non-Verizon SIM - This sim card is from an unknown source" and I cannot use the local SIM on my phone at all.
Please help.
leongss

Yes,
I have selected global mode in the Mobile Networks setting. Network Operators is greyed out for me to select China Mobile as the SIM card carrier that I inserted and replaced the Verizon LTE SIM card.
What else can I do to make the local SIM work on my S4 phone. It still show China Mobile not available.
Thanks

Hi, is the iphone 6 T-Mobile factory unlocked !?

hi, is the iphone 6 T-Mobile factory unlocked !?

As has been said, T-Mobile phones purchased directly from Apple have been historically unlocked. No reason to think the 6 will be any different.
If you Purchase a T-Mobile Phone from a T-Mobile store instead of an Apple store, then they are not unlocked.
The big clue is in the Price form Apple. You are not paying a subsidized price for the T-Mobile phone when bought directly from Apple. Its a full price Phone which would suggest it is unlocked.
However, until such time as the iPhone 6 is actually released and its status confirmed there's no way to say with 100% certainty if that will be the case.
You need to wait until its released to be sure it is unlocked. But again there's no reason to think it won't be since all previous T-Mobile models have been unlocked when purchased directly from Apple.
Hope this is clear enough.

BT Mobile phone offer

The original offer of choice of 4 mobiles has now been increased to 5. Is there any chance of the Samsung Galaxy S4 being added to the list?

Hi Nvrb,
I think you can call your mobile phone operator (so BT mobile) and pay for the PUK code to enter into the handset and unlock it. I think its about £30-£35 quid (got that from google so i wouldnt quote me on that ). you could also approachany of the market or high street companies that offer to unlock your phone, but again i would expect to pay around £20.
Or type unlock mobile into google and there are many sites which will give you the PUK code and instructions for free (or at a lower price).
Free site:

Just need to go to the bottom first and swap it into english, or your preferred language. I should also point out I haven't tried this so i can't gurenetee it.

Ipad 2 is associating with mobile phone # instead of it's own #

Hi I recently update to iOS 6.1 on my iPad and when it was all finished with the update i was distracted when it asked me about my phone # for facetime and messaging and i just hit ok then later I realized it pulled my mobile phone # into it instead of it's own number and I can't get it out of there. I restored it back to factory settings and a back up before I turned on my data plan and added it's own number and I still can't get rid of my mobile phone number or change it back to it's own data plan # HELP!

That doesn't solve the problem. I have all those defaults. But in Firefox, it won't let me select for "Portable Document Format" to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" which it used to let me and which is what the Mozilla Firefox help stuff says to do. I can select Adobe Reader but then it downloads it and opens it in a separate reader window rather than using the plugin. If I select to let Firefox "Preview in Firefox", then the Firefox built-in PDF reader will display it. I have added an add-on "pdfViewerSwitcher" which then lets me display in the Adobe Reader plug-in but only after first displaying it in the Firefox preview. So that verifies that the Adobe Reader plug-in works. But I can't set it to always use the Adobe Reader plug-in.
I have some reasons for wanting to use the Adobe Reader plug-in. I use Nuance Power PDF Pro for editing and doing other things with pdfs.
This all used to work and stopped working at some point in the last couple months. And if you search the web, you will find I am not the only one with this complaint.
I don't know whether it is Adobe's fault or Mozilla's fault but at least one of them is broken. And I think it is Firefox since it won't even let me select it but does let me select it for Adobe Forms.
