Hi ,

I have a RAZR V3 and my carrier is T-Mobile ... I would like to know if it is possible to unlock it without buying software ...if i provide my IMEI in this thread can anybody help provifing the code ? will i still need to use software and / or cables?

Thanks

No - your IMEI is no use to anyone here.

I suggest you read the first 3 posts in this thread

Hi,
Just got my V3 and joined the forum in the same day

The instructions are pretty straight forward and I think I'm doing it all right, but when I try to downgrade my bootlader to 8.23 it fails.

The error on the phone is

ok i hacked into my v3 useing the instructions on the motox.us site and it still tells me to contact my service provider i have gone from boot loader 8.23 to 8.26 to 7.d0 and back to 8.26 (currently running i have flashed and flexed my cell atleast 6 times and this final time im almost sure it was done right but still nothing and if the phone sits for 10 mins the "enter subsidy password" message will pop up and im sondering why does anyone have an idea why this is happening am i doing somthing wrong? when i flash and flash im using file R374_G_0E.41.C3R_A_reflash.shx and when i flex im using file SE8617AXXF104C.hs both taken fom motox and when i flash i put the cell in flash mode and i flash using multiflexflash and i only check overide even if file is newer blah blah blah and i check override, master reset and master clear like im saposed to and when there done i pop in my sim and get the same error contact service provider then after the phone sits a bit it prompts me to add in my subsidy pasword.....what gives?

Are you running moto unlocker? (i.e. followed instuctions in first post in this thread?)

If you have and it still doesn't unlock you are out of luck for the moment - some of the latest hardware releases don't seem to work with moto unlocker - this is being worked on.

May be you want to down grade to bootloader 7.d0 then flash your fone withany old Flash or MP say 40.07r, basically take you fone back to the first generation of v3 then try the unlocker.
Good luck

The best program is flashbackup 2.62 you can download from the site.

All of the monster flashs and language packs are there. Ok you will need a USB cable the same one for motor tools you will need pk2 drivers installed. This program states do a full backup up, guess what v3 don't backup with that program. Don't be scared get the one up from the version you have probably a 40 series unbranded make sure it has flex because you have to upgrade the boot loader press flash and you are home. Make sure you download a single language pack with uk english there is one standalone version there. unpack all into a folder like (Flash}

The reason I mentioned the language pack is because some of the monster packs default to italian and if you do a master reset you will revert to itialian each time. All you have to do then is use all the functions available etc memory video camera bluetooth seperate link and hell of lot easier to connect to mobile phone tools with.

All you have to do is have the nerve to do it. I did and now I do all of my friends phones simple.

lol
