Xda Orbit unlock question

andy_fozzy · 17-08-2007, 3:10 PM

If I get my Xda unlocked, does it remove the password request also?

Cheers

my Xda orbit was already unlocked, are you sure yours is'nt?
Try using a different network sim and see.

Thanks matey for the reply.

Actually, it's more a case of I've forgotten my PIN code/password

Good luck though

I think the only way is to do a hard reset (you'll lose all the data on the phone).

Hiya, thanks for the reply.

I've tried that, it does nothing

It's just the phone password and not a PUK? The other way is to reflash the ROM; lots of info on xda-developers.com if you're brave enough

Yep, just the phone password.
May as well give it a try, got nothing to lose now!

Is it bad then....??

Just make sure you unlock the CID and follow the instructions carefully. I haven't tried it yet but as WM6 ROM has been release I'm tempted

Thanks allot for your help so far.....

I'm new to PDA's and I've no idea what a CID is

Sorry to be stupid!!!

CID = Country ID

For example, if you have a German Orbit, you need to wipe the CID before flashing it with a ROM from another country or you will "brick" your Orbit.

The forum section you need is:

and give the stickies a good read : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=318

p.s. is it just me or has the AVForums style sheet disappeared?
