I have just succeeded in unlocking a new sgh-d500, the one the winimei 1.07 wont unlock.

everyone says you need winimei 1.34 that is cracked, but it doesnt exist, however i've managed to find a way around that problem.

what you need is both winimei 1.07 and 1.34!!!

1. use winimei 1.34 to unlock the phone
2. open winimei 1.07 and read imei settings
3. enter the new imei you want to use (we are now only using 1.07)
4. click write imei, copy the generated key into keygen
5. enter keygen password into winimei but dont click start yet!
6. make sure that phone is off, has no sim and connect cable to phone but leave 9v battery unattached
7. click go on winimei, it will say entering tat mode, now plug in 9v battery, and press phone power button briefly...winimei will start
8. keep and eye on its progress, it will stop sometimes and say waiting for tat mode again, so just press the phone power button breifly whenver it does this and it will continue
9. this will happen about 3 times, at the end it will say pass and should take around 2mins to complete
10. take off 9v battery, cable and remove phone battery
11. put in sim and boot up phone...it should be working perfectly!!!

this is how i did it, i tried every other method suggested and got nowhere, this was just me fiddling around with it and eventually got it to work. hopefully this will help anyone who was in my situation, it feels good to have solved my prob!!

hiya mate, good wook.

just a couple of things :

when you say "I have just succeeded in unlocking a new sgh-d500, the one the winimei 1.07 wont unlock" do you mean you managed to change the imei ?

cause in step 1 of your instructions , it says " unlock phone with winimei ver 1.34 :confused:

im hoping that what you mean as it doesnt seem like anyone will ever crack 1.34.

well done mate

yer i changed the imei...my phone was made in feb 2005 and is a sgh-d500 which 1.34 cant change imei on, but it can unblock it. i only used 1.34 (normal version since there is no cracked one) to unblock the phone, once i had done this i used 1.07 to change imei and it worked for me, hope it will work for others.

i am struggling to read the imei settings with either version of winimei, enters TAT ok but will not read imei settings :-?
using version 1.34 to unlock it says fail on every section but a big green PASS appears in top rh corner.

Anyone any tips on reading imei settings would be much appreciated cos i've run out of combinations to try. Do i have to reconfigure some phone settings first?

Why do i seem to have two versions of everything? Can anyone break this down for me so i know what should be right.

software vers. D500ADDL3_EB3
+D500ADDL3

Hardware vers. MP 3.200
+REV 2.2

and another software EG001.08


What is what i am getting so confused i have a permanent headache :sad:
