Unfortunately we cannot 'downgrade' your new CID to 49 if your phone is not currently a CID49 unit, which means 'free' flashing tools like PhoneXS will *not* work with the new CID's as they incorporate 'anti-challenge' loader unlocking request limits. MOTOROLA CODES STILL AVAILABLE FOR ALL NON-3G HANDSETS, including all Rogers and Fido Motorola phones. Note that these codes are available for *any* non 3G Motorola handset on *any* carrier worldwide. *** W810 R4GC010 UNBRANDED FIRMWARE AVAILABLE *** *** K790 R1JC002 UNBRANDED FIRMWARE AVAILABLE *** Improvements - Updated Java engine *** Z710 R1JC002 UNBRANDED FIRMWARE AVAILABLE *** Note that firmware updates include CID49->CID51 conversions wherever applicable. *** ROGERS TREO 680 UNLOCKING NOW AVAILABLE *** SUBSIDY CODES AVAILABLE FOR *ALL* MOTOROLA PHONES (excluding 3G handsets if not on Rogers or Fido) - Same great subsidy code service, now with worldwide carrier coverage!

DRM unlocks available for the Rogers V3T as well, allows MP3's on your trans-flash card to be used for ringtones. Please note: for DRM unlocking we do NOT have to reflash the phone, keeping stock Rogers firmware and settings (useful for warranty and support from Rogers or Fido), and user data and contact lists are NOT erased! ***** We also have a 'Full Monty' feature pack for the W810i, which includes: - DRM unlock - all restrictions removed These are added to your existing firmware, without deleting any data, and can be applied equally as well to a generic firmware as well as Rogers firmware. Contact us for pricing. We are working on 'Full-Monty' packs for other SonyEricsson phones, and can offer some of the same features of the pack noted above for phones such as the W300i. Contact us for details or if you have questions. If you need to set up WAP/MMS for your phone, please be sure to check the links at the bottom of this page for Nokia and SonyEricsson WAP configurators which send settings to your phone via SMS. Works great! *** LG CHOCOLATE UNLOCKING AVAILABLE *** MOTOROLA V3T RINGTUNE UNLOCK AVAILABLE - Does not delete phone data We can generate subsidy codes for virtually ALL Rogers, Fido, and WORLDWIDE Motorola phones, all we require is the IMEI and proof of payment for the unlock service (a paypal payment qualifies). Additionally if we know the network it was locked to and the phone type (ie: V3i, L7, V360) this will help expedite the generation process. Please call or e-mail us for further details or current pricing. So far we've had a 100% success rate, and have unlocked phones using this method as far away as Finland.

If we try but cannot unlock a specific phone model (sometimes this is the case), there's no charge, and the phone will be returned in full working order. At last estimate, we figure we have unlocked well over 3000 phones locally, and well on our way to 4000! We also offer a 30-day firmware upgrade policy - if we flash the 'latest' specific firmware for a phone, and a new version becomes available within 30 days, we will reflash the phone to the new version for free (excluding shipping if you're outside of Ottawa).

We are located in west-end Ottawa (near Greenbank) but can arrange to meet up within Ottawa by prior arrangement if necessary. If your phone is a world phone, we can provide world language packs which enable menus and SMS in the language of your choice such as Arabic or Eastern European languages. This also makes a great gift for someone for whom English is not their first language. We were the first to offer this service in Ottawa many years ago, and continue to offer this service on an ever growing list of phone models. We have the largest collection of flashfiles for phones in the region! If you don't see your phone model listed, please call and ask - our list of supported phone models grows every day! Had your phone unlocked or flashed by someone incorrectly? Bought a phone on eBay only to discover it is locked, or has firmware problems due to tinkering? This happens more often than you'd think. Chances are we can ressurect it and restore full functionality using the latest tools on the market. Call or send us an e-mail today! If you don't see your model listed here, ask! Our capabilities improve every day and chances are we can handle your request. We offer the most comprehensive unlocking service in the region, and guarantee our work! Why ship your phone out if you can get professional quality work done locally? Most phones can be done at your site as we do most of our work from a laptop. We also offer ship-in phone unlocking/flashing for those interested, please contact us for a quote. We have serviced phones from all over North America in the past, and in general turnaround is less than 24 hours. Inquire about quantity discounts, we can negotiate special pricing if you have a number of phones to unlock, or wish to negotiate an ongoing arrangement through a wholesale agreement. Never have to say you cannot support a new model again! We can fast-turn unlocking by special arrangement, if you need a phone unlocked NOW! Please note, if you are unlocking a phone for overseas, contact us BEFORE the day of travel as some phones do require some time to unlock. Do not assume every phone is a simple 30-second unlock, especially with many of the new models. ________________________________________________ *** World Languages in Current Fido/Rogers Phones *** We get asked all the time which current Fido/Rogers phones can be flashed to take world languages, so we've compiled a non-comprehensive list which includes the following: All Motorola quad-band phones currently on offer such as the V3, V551, V600, V220, V180, and others - also the V300 tri-band phone which can be modified to enable quad-band operation. Nokia 6670b, 6020b, 3220b, 6600, 6230b and 8801 phones It looks also like the Nokia 6101 will take world language packs. Any SonyEricsson world phone that includes 900/1800/1900 such as the Z200, T200, T610 and others. Phones which are 850/1800/1900 do not have language packs available and generally cannot be modified, this includes the T616, and Rogers S710a The new Fido SonyEricsson Z520a/i is QUAD-BAND, and can be flashed to world languages. We will update this list as we work out more details. This list is far from comprehensive, so contact us if you have any questions about a specific model. As a sidenote, we do a lot of phones with Arabic language packs, but this is due to demand and we are not limited to just this language. Basically if a phone can be reflashed to Arabic, it can be reflashed to the LANGUAGE OF YOUR CHOICE just as easily. ________________________________________________ *** LATEST NEWS *** We have seen a number of damaged Motorola phones locally recently due to very destructive unlocking procedures by others, remember we guarantee our work so choose your choice of unlockers carefully. Sometimes the 'best' price is not really the 'best'. Addendum: Please ask your vendor about how they treat your phone cosmetically. Since many phone models require dissassembly to unlock and care must be exercised to dissassemble them without damage, your choice of unlocking vendor involves more than just 'unlocking' your phone. Choose wisely. RIM Blackberry unlocking now supported at a competitive price. Note we can now do these models on-the-spot and do NOT need to send out these devices for unlocking. Supported models are: BlackBerry 62xx Series : 6210, 6230, 6710, Note this list is only partial, most all models now supported, but please note this currently excludes the 8xxx Blackberry models, which are based on a different architecture than previous models. We can enable Netmonitor on selected Nokia phones when reflashing. Contact us for further details, as we are still in the process of sorting details on which models can be supported. Remember we can unlock/flash/upgrade most all current SonyEricsson phones, including upgrades such as K750i -> W800 Walkman, adding the W800 features to the less expensive K750i We can unlock newer Motorola phones such as the Fido V190 and Rogers E1 ROKR (does not require phone modification - no warranty issues), but please note the caveat noted below in the Motorola section for some models. LG and Samsung phones NOW FULLY SUPPORTED - this includes most current LG and Samsung phones on offer from Fido and Rogers. We have purchased new unlocking hardware to support unlocking/flashing for these models. Nokia 8801 SUPPORTED FOR UNLOCKING AND FLASHING. We also have the latest firmware for this phone, avaliable with ALL LANGUAGE PACKS. FIDO quadband SonyEricsson Z520i supported for unlocking and flashing. THE Z520 CAN BE REFLASHED TO ANY AVAILABLE LANGUAGE PACK! Fido Nokia 6020 and 6030 unlocking fully supported. We can reflash your Rogers V551 to newer, less buggy firmware than that found on many Rogers V551's. As always, we can flash any language pack of your choice. At last count there was support for at least 25 different worldwide languages. iDEN UNLOCKING UPDATE - Most all Motorola iDEN phones supported for unlocking/removing user lock codes, including the i930 dual-mode iDEN/GSM smartphone. See below for details. Many new phone models are now supported, the list is extensive and includes: * Nokia * Most all current and older Nokia GSM models supported for unlocking, with the exception of the 6630, 6680, 6682 (Rogers) and the new Nxx series (although we can flash these models with new firmware, we - nor anyone else - can unlock them). Firmware/language upgrades available for most models. We can upgrade selected 'North-American' models such as the Fido 6670b to include world languages such as Arabic - contact us for details. Note that reflashing a Nokia phone with unbranded firmware removes provider branding, even if the firmware revision is unchanged. Bought a Nokia phone on eBay and discover that you cannot change WAP and Browser settings? Installation of a generic flash firmware will solve this problem, and often give you choice of language packs. Tried using an 'unlocking code calculator' without success, and exceeded your retry limit and find your Nokia phone is still locked? We can remove simlocks with cables unlocking your phone. Accidentally lock your phone and forgot your security code? We can reset your code and make your phone usable again. Note: If your phone is locked due to a PUK code, you must contact your service provider for this code as it's tied to your SIM card and we cannot recover it. We can also reset 'locked' Nokia phones which experience 'Enter Security Code' errors. We see a lot of these for some reason, but it is not a problem to repair. We can fix flash-related bluetooth problems on Nokia phones, if you've had your phone flashed incorrectly by another vendor. We can also remove Symbian viruses if your phone has become infected. If you have a corrupted flash that yields an IMEI of '????????', we can repair this through recalculation of flash security data - note that if your IMEI error is because of a bad UEM chip in your phone, this will not work. * Motorola * NOW AVAILABLE - MOTOROLA ROGERS/FIDO/WORLDWIDE UNLOCK SUBSIDY CODES! Unlock your phone without having to open your phone. All we need is your IMEI, phone model, network and proof of payment. Please note, be sure to include accurate information on your IMEI - if you send us an IMEI which is incorrect, we will not be able to generate the codes and won't be able to refund your payment, so BE SURE that you know the original carrier. Note this service is unavailable for non-Rogers/Fido 3G handsets. *All* Rogers and Fido Motorola handsets are still supported for subsidy unlocks, irregardless of type. Most all current and older GSM models of Motorola phones, including flashing, language changes, and unlocking. Language packs available for most all models in all languages, not just the more 'popular' ones. We can enable quad-band operation of Vxxx phones or models such as the E1 ROKR, L6, L2, U6 and others for devices which have had bands disabled, making the phone usable worldwide. Note that if you have the 900 MHz band disabled in your phone, it generally will *not* work correctly in Europe/Africa/Asia. Re-enabling this band allows full worldwide usage - note we have been doing these mods for a few years now and have had a 100% success rate. We can reflash your Motorola RAZR V3 to include video recording. We always apply some 'tweaks' to this installed flash to enable otherwise hidden features. We can repair most flash-related problems, including boot-loader problems, using the latest tools - if you've had flash problems we can likely resurrect your phone. We can support the new high-security Motorola boot-loaders, using testpoints when necessary but generally without needing to resort to using them - less warranty hassles if you have a problem down the road. Most Motorola phones after the V3 require this procedure (V3i, L2, L6, V235, etc.) unless codes can be obtained from the carrier. Note that if you bring a Motorola phone for unlocking or flashing, please be sure to charge up your battery first. * Siemens * Same unlocking support for most all models, includes (Fido) A65, C65, A56, CF62, M55, S65/66 as well as most other models such as SX-1, SL56, S40 and others. Language changes available for selected models. * SonyEricsson * Most ALL versions of ALL GSM models such as S710a, K500i, Z800, K750, W800, Z520 and including all of the very latest SE phones. This includes flashing/languages/unlocking and conversions for specific models such as: T68m->T68i We can also reflash the PDA portions of P800, P900, and P910 phones if you wish to upgrade. THE FIDO Z520 CAN BE UNBRANDED AND REFLASHED TO ANY LANGUAGE PACK, we have them all! Great for international SMS. * RIM Blackberry * Most models supported as noted above, excludes the 8700 or any of the 8xxx series Blackberries as they are based on a different platform. * Samsung * NEW - All current Samsung models supported, including the Rogers P207! (Note, we do not as of yet have a flashfile which can fix WAP related problems when using a Rogers P207 on Fido - if anyone has a solution, please let us know) Phones supported include the new D500, D600 and the Rogers E316 and X426. Note we unlock all Samsung models via cables - don't hardlock your phone with 'free' codes as they sometimes do not work as you expect. * Panasonic * Unlocking support for most GSM models (excluding x70) including GD88, GD55, A100, C52, and others * Windows Smartphones * Same support for MPX200/220 as always, and most other models such as any of the iMate XDA/MDA models, but EXCLUDING HP iPAQ's. Buy an MPX220 on eBay only to discover an unscrupulous vendor has sent you a 'Network PUK' locked phone? We can unlock these models and reflash to the latest firmware, maintaining your investment. * TREO * Same support for Treo 600/650 unlocking as always. We have been unlocking these models for months now, and never had a problem. * iDEN (Motorola) CDMA * NEW MODELS SUPPORTED! Use Nextel phones on the Mike network! All older iDEN phones can be unlocked, as well as the following newer iDEN phones: i90c, i95cl, i205, i265, i305, i315, i325, i370, i390, i530, i600, i710, i730, i750, i830, i830 Roxy, i860, i860 Woody, i860, Tattoo ROM13 PHONES NOW SUPPORTED, this includes most models. We have also unlocked a few i930's as well, a dual-mode iDEN/GSM Windows smartphone. We can reset forgotten user codes on all iDEN models. * LG * NEW - Most LG models now fully supported for unlocking and flashing, includes LG-3G models (81xx, 83xx), and most recent non-3G models - contact us for availability. This includes most LG phones sold by Rogers and Fido, including the LG2000. * Sharp * Most models supported for unlocking, now including 801SH, 902SH, 702SH, 903SH, 703SH UMTS/GSM models. Language flashes available for UMTS models. We have reflashed a number of 903SH/902SH phones, and after flashing to the language of your choice, ALL features work correctly. * Danger * The Hiptop and Hiptop2 are *NOT UNLOCKABLE* at this time. Furthermore, it looks like there won't be a solution in the near future for these models. * Other models * We can unlock many other models of phones such as Sony, Sendo, NEC, Alcatel, Sagem, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, and others - give us a call if you have any specific model enquiries. We do not get many requests, however many models are available. We can support most all models, so just because a model is not listed here does not mean we cannot unlock it. ________________________________________________ *** Some useful information on unlocking *** * What is unlocking? Most GSM phones sold in North America have an artificial 'lock' installed in them to limit the usage of the phone to SIM cards provided by the carrier that sold you the phone. Unlocking is simply a means of removing this artificial 'lock' to allow any GSM SIM card to be used with your phone. This allows your phone to be used anywhere, with any provider (provided the phone itself supports the correct bands). This can increase resale value, or allow you to use a local SIM card with your own phone as you travel worldwide, avoiding costly roaming fee suprises. * What's a 'world' phone? 4 GSM bands are used in the world, these being in North America 850/1900 MHz and in Europe 900/1800 MHz (sidenote: I could never remember which is which, until you realize that European frequencies are the two *inside* frequencies of the four, and the two *outside* frequencies are North American). There are many phones which are 'North American' or 'European' only and these devices only have the correct bands for local usage, but cannot be used internationally. Traditionally a 'world' phone includes 3 of the previously mentioned bands such as '900/1800/1900' and is usable anywhere in the world. As the usage of 850 MHz in North America becomes prevalent, some 'world' phones include only the 850/1800/1900 MHz frequencies to improve network coverage on this continent, but since 900 MHz is often used in Europe if you travel there may be issues with coverage if the local European provider does not support 1900 MHz in all areas. For complete world coverage, a 'quad-band' phone that covers all bands ensures that you have network availability anywhere GSM is available. Many manufacturers offer band variants of phones, for example a SonyEricsson T610 and T616 are identical phones with the exception that the T610 is 900/1800/1900 MHz, and the T616 is 850/1800/1900 MHz. This improves coverage for the T616 in North America but reduces coverage in Europe and the world. Most Nokia phones models which end in a 'b' (such as the 3220b, 6820b, 6230b) are 850/1800/1900 MHz North American variants of standard Nokia world phones - for instance there is a 6230a (900/1800/1900) as well as a 6230b North American model. There is a world version (900/1800/1900) of the 6670 which is different from the Fido 6670b (850/1800/1900). Using a 6670b phone in Europe would result in reduced coverage compared to a 6670 because of the missing European band. Most recent Motorola phones are quad-band, and other manufacturers are coming out with more quad-band phones all the time which do not have these issues. If you intend to travel, be sure to ask your vendor about what bands are really in your phone, and if it will work for roaming where you intend to go. The rule of thumb is that if a provider says the phone will roam correctly where you intend to go, then unlocking the phone will give you the exact same coverage with a *local SIM card* and with a convenient *local number*. Often times you can buy a SIM card with airtime right when you arrive at the airport in your destination country - simply pop it into your unlocked phone and you are up and running. If you need to use your regular SIM card, just swap it back. PLEASE NOTE THAT PHONES WHICH DO NOT HAVE 900 MHz AND CANNOT BE 'MODDED' TO ADD THIS BAND WILL NOT WORK PROPELY OVERSEAS. Be sure to ask your vendor before purchasing a phone for overseas use. * What about 'free' unlocking codes? Unlocking 'codes' are available for many different phone models, but often times they do not work as the manufacturers strive to make this process unavailable to end users. WE ALWAYS USE CABLES TO UNLOCK YOUR PHONE and bypass this process - this means that if you 'hardlock' your phone by trying too many of these 'free' codes, we can still unlock it and free your phone SIM lock! Note that we do not offer 'code' services as we have found them to be very unreliable. ________________________________________________ *** Some additional phone notes *** * Samsung SIM compatibility issues * There are compatibility issues with the Samsung models of phones and the new Fido SM32 SIM cards. If you try to use one, you will get a 'SIM Crash' error - this is not a hardware problem with the phone, but a problem with the firmware loaded from Samsung. We are working to try to sort out this issue and will report back when we find a solution. Note that if your phone exhibits this problem, the only solution is to use an *older* Fido SIM card and it will work correctly. The Rogers Samsungs do *not* have this problem, and are fully unlockable. Many Samsungs can be fixed by reflashing the phones, for example the X426 and E316, and once flashed work correctly with new SIM cards. We have done a number of these. Contact us for more details. ________________________________________________ *** Pricing *** Call for current competitive pricing and promotions. Quantity discounts available starting at two phones and up, contact us for details. Special rates may apply - also call us for details. ________________________________________________ *** SELECTED LATEST UNLOCKS AND FLASHES - SonyEricsson W600 WSOD repair
