its best 2 read the main thread mate the 1st 1 explaining it all sayin

'dct4 free is out now!

it explains it all there ill get u a part

NO MATE, ALL I DID WAS REMOVE THE SIM CARD AND HOLDER, PLUG IN THE 8310 CLIP, TURN ON THE PHONE, AND RAN THE SOFTWARE.

THE PHONE GOES OFF,
COMES BACK ON DISPLAYING "TEST MODE"
THE SOFTWARE DISPLAYS THE IMEI AND SOME OTHER INFO,
A PROGRESS BAR INDICATES TIME REMAINING, AND JOG DONE.

NO WIRES CONNECTED TO GROUND FOR ME MATE

hope that helps more.

yeah that helps mate but don't think i explained right, i've got one of those clips that don't need a pc, you know, a small box with 4 batterys and a push button to unlock it:(

[sykownzu]

oh i see well iam not 100% sure but i really dont think that will work my mate had the box b4 and it was for only flashin like resetting security ect.

because u need DCT4 software on your pc, simcard in the sim card holder part ect. i

i really thought u needed the original 8310 data cable but not sure

its best 2 wait for someone else 2 post that knows more wat there doing but ill have a quick look into it now for u :d

i was only trying to unlock it not unblock it, my friend said that was all it needed (its not my phone). thanx for your help dude at least i know i did the right things to unlock it.:D

Check the version of the phone with *#0000#, and if it's 5.57 or greater, not all the clips unlock it, only newer ones. If you have an older one, bad luck... :( You need to bring it to one who can either downgrade and unlock it, or has a newer unlock clip/flasher box(griffin, afd, neelix2) which can directly unlock it.

i know the phone was v5.11 so my clip should of done it yeah? i only bought the clip at the weekend. maybe the phone was blocked i should of checked first eh? :confused:
