' Wrote:hi guys does anyone know how to unlock the Sony Ericsson G502 for all providers? i am sure someone encountered such problem so do tell
does this count as a hardware hack/illegal mod?
Some people do it at places like Ceasers Creek, Traders World, and Pirates Den (all ohio flea markets) but again, its a bit shady, so I dont believe this is the best place to ask something like this.
Modifying the firmware of a mobile phone for personal use is perfectly legal, at least in the UK that is.
Consult your local junk/second hand/cheap market, there's usually a corner store called "Joe's Phones" or "Dan's Electronics" that does this kind of stuff, cheap too.
it depends: it might be hardware-coded to that particular supplier. If it is software coded, then all they have to do is enter the puk code. Hardware coding CAN be done, but it needs to have its bios flashed: this can ruin the motherboard
thanks for the help guys but i was actually hoping one of you will know the way to do it from home.. its israeli orange locked and it cost 1/3 of the value of the phone at stores so i cant decide if just get a new phone or unlock this one.. but if anyone got access to codes using IME only i would be grateful for his/her help
