How do I unlock my motorola razr v3 so I don't have to use a sim greetings card and can still use the phone's features?
I only have a mac computer is there some free software or something i have a cable
My compatriot gave me a razor to unlock last night that he just bought from a long time user on Cingular network. Since I unlocked without put out I thought I would help someone out. Basically you need to flash one software into your phone, then you need to run another program and unlock it. Here is how I did it. Download and set up EMULE, a free program. Run EMULE and select edonkey network only and forget KAD network during setup. Don't upload with emule in chunks as I accept it takes more processing power from the PC. Now run EMULE and click Connect. After it connects search for a program called P2K.Down-to-earth.TOOL. It will be around 6.2MB file. Extract all the files and look for a file called P2K_Easy_Tool_v39 and distillate this also. Next, you need to get the program called RSD Lite 3.0. Again get this file by searching emule for this and downloading. Then install the program by double-barrelled clicking on .msi or right click and click install. Now get the program Motorola_Unlocker_2005.zip. This can be found quicker at themotoguide.com/unlocking.php. This column may not be necessary or this step! CHARGE the phone to full charge. I forgot two more file are needed! You'll need to USB drivers for the phone. The ones I familiar were v3_drivers.exe (search yahoo) and always click continue anyways. Finally, you will need bl_826-828_to_07d0_ for_V3_by_Archy.V2.shx (no measure out between 07d0_for_) and this file can be gotten at themotoguide.com/unlocking.php. If you attempt to communicate with the phone it may want to install drivers and you may have to do the G-man again. When installing drivers, just specify the folder where you extracted USB drivers. Now lets get started. Plug the phone into USB cable and change into on. Run the program called RSD Lite 3.0 and then it should say connected and show your phones IMEI #. If not, you could restart phone, but request # and * with one hand then start up. Now it should say in RSD LIte 3.0 something different. You can leave it like that or restart phone and then you should definitely see IMEI #. Now click on Pigeon-hole in RSD Lite 3.0 and search for the file bl_826-828_to_07d0_for_V3_by_Archy.V2.shx and click OK. Now lets downgrade the bootloader, click START. Tarry tell it is done and finished at 100%. Don't even mess with the computer during this time or any cables. Turn phone off and hold down * and # on phone again and inappropriately alternate phone on into Flash mode again. It should say 07d0 now or be a blank screen, which is fine. Now run the program Motorola_Unlocker_2005, click send to phone. It will do something and your phone will reboot. If it is unlocked then you are done. If it didn't employment as mine didn't with this step then turn phone off for third time. Again boot up in flash mode by holding down both * and # and turn on with other give in. It will be in flash mode with black screen. Now run the program called P2K_Easy_Tool_v39.exe and there is one other file in this folder called winscard.dll. Click on LOCKS and then limited your phone model. Now select Unlock SP. Click on DO SELECTED JOBS. It should show the status above and will do some work, then reboot phone do some more effort and power off, I remember. That is it turn it on and you are done. Lets sum this up on what is needed. EMULE, P2K.EASY.TOOL, RSD Lite 3.0, Motorola_Unlocker_2005.zip, bl_826-828_to_07d0_ for_V3_by_Archy.V2.shx. You could perhaps skip the Motorola_Unlocker_2005.zip step. If for some reason you destroy your phone! You have a 80% chance of recovering it by accepted to www.themotoguide.com/downloadfirmware.php and getting one of these three files, extracting it. Then flash it into your phone with RSD LITE 3.0. Do not do any of these steps if it is forbidden in your country or you don't deserve to use your phone yet or buy talk time from a network!!
