How To Unlock NEC e525 locked to O2 from woolies

July 5th, 2004 . by Ali

So you have bought yourself a cracking phone from woolworths for £79.99 - good job.
So you have bought yourself a cracking phone from ebay for > £79.99 - sorry:-(
and you want to unlock it to all networks.

1. Obtain the NEC usb drivers from HERE
2. Buy yourself a NEC usb cable
3. Get yourself the excellent Nectalk from HERE
4. Install drivers and plug the phone in. Your OS will go throught the new device installation.
5. Once all installed, go to the directory where you have unzipped Nectalk and type

nectalk -pt pte 10079 unlock

The software will connect to the phone and then reboot it.

Once rebooted your phone will be fully unlocked.

Please add a comment and let me know how you got on.

    Hi Alibutt,
    if I unlock this phone can I use it in India also…or currently it works with Orange only ?? Can i buy the same from Ebay.Please reply me back ..sarathb zworg.com
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Once unlocked it will accept ALL sim cards. So if your sim card supports roaming in India, then the phone will work fine.

    So as long as your sim card works fine in India, the phone will work fine.

    HI, CAN I UNLOCK MY E525 USING YOUR METHOD BUT THROUGH INFRA RED INSTEAD OF THE CABLE, MANY THANX

  9. comment number 9 by: Ali

    Sorry, the program uses a usb cable.
    No infra red i’m afraid.

  10. comment number 10 by: Anonymous

    Is it possible to do any other functions with the USB cable apart from just unlocking the phone?
    Is it possible to transfer java/sounds/pictures to and from the phone with the cable?

  11. comment number 11 by: Ali

    Hi,
    Yes you can transfer ringtones, wallpapers, contact details etc… Its well worth it. You cant argue with £12 !

  12. comment number 12 by: stephen

    y cant nectalk find my phone in the com ports when i no itis there
    please help thainks

  13. comment number 13 by: Ali

    Did you install the USB drivers before plugging the phone in ?
    If you have installed them correctly then NECTALK will use COM port 3/4/5/6 ….
    make sure you install the drivers first, then plug the phone in so windows can install the correct drivers for them.
    good luck

  16. comment number 16 by: jodykw1982

    I have a regular NEC 525. I tried unlocking it using this method but I receive the following message “PTE is incorrect. Response is 0″ Can anybody help?

  17. comment number 17 by: chrissy

    i have downloaded the usb cable software and there is no installer how do i install it

  18. comment number 18 by: Ali

    Hi jodykw1982
    are you in the UK ?
    If you are then you should be typing in
    nectalk -pt pte 10079 unlock
    that should work.
    If you are elsewhere, just try
    nectalk
    and see what happens

  19. comment number 19 by: Ali

    Hi Chrissy,
    What you do is plug the cable in to the phone (make sure its on) and the plug the cable in to your PC. When the pc detects you have plugged in a new device, it will ask for the drivers. You then point to the unzipped files (usb drivers)
    good luck

  20. comment number 20 by: chrissy

    sorry to be a pain, i have installed the drivers for the usb cable and unzipped the nectalk thing but when i click on it it just searches through my ports then disappear any ideas on what to do

  21. comment number 21 by: Ali

    If you installed everything OK then you DONT double click on nectalk.
    you extract it to a folder, lets c:\nectalk. You then go to the command prompt (start - run - cmd) navigate to the extracted nectalk directory and type
    “nectalk -pt pte 10079 unlock”

  22. comment number 22 by: BIG ALLY

    Hey.

  30. comment number 30 by: Norma

    I have also purchased this phone from woolies but can’t seem to find the camera options menu to delete photos and wonder if you can help me please with this thankyou

  31. comment number 31 by: Ali

    Hi Reg,
    Once the phone is unlocked you can use ANY sim card from ANY provider. So you can buy pay as you go cards from Vodafone/t-mobile/orange and use which ever is best for you.

  32. comment number 32 by: Ali

    Hi Norma,
    Open the phone and press the menu button. Select option 6 (my data). Then select “Pictures”. you will then see a list of all your pictures. Simply press the menu button again and you will find the options you are looking for.
    let me know how you get on.
    Ali

  33. comment number 33 by: Adeel Ahmed Butt

    HI Dear Mr Butt, I have NEC e313. Will this software work on this set?? are the instructions same for all the NEC sets???? Well Shukriya for uploading lovely software on Net. BYE

  34. comment number 34 by: Ray

    I followed the instructions and everything worked as you said. How do I know that the phone is unlocked without buying a new SIM card and taking the risk that it may not work?

  35. comment number 35 by: bob

    how can u get the e525 to answer incoming calls by simply flipping it open. At the moment after flipping it open i still need to press the green button — it defeats the whole point of the flip

  36. comment number 36 by: Ali

    Hi Ray,
    If you cant buy another sim card, you can try entering
    “*#7230# ” it should come back as “not executed”. This pretty much means its unlocked

  37. comment number 37 by: Ali

    Hi Adeel Ahmed Butt
    Search my site for “e616″ and it will give you temp unlock instructions that work on e616 and e313

  38. comment number 38 by: Ali

    Hi bob,
    The way NEC have designed this is that the flip is only active for terminating calls, it will not answer calls for you.

  39. comment number 39 by: elli

One question in passing, how can i get to view my camera pictures on the PC. It downloads them to the PIE screen but when i click on the picture number i am not able to open it. Thanks again!

    thanks for the crackin info (as in brill! not as in hackin)

    downloaded software, got the cable, rebuilt laptop (OS crashed so re-installed), plugged USB cable, switched phone on, plugged cable into phone, OS found new hardware, pointed to downloaded NEC USB drivers, OS setup phone, checked in modem settings to check it was there (on com4), ran command line as stated above and also stating com4 parameter, after a few seconds, phoned switched off, inserted another network sim card, switched it back on, said please wait and hoorah hoorah hoorah, sim accepted
    hope this helps
    will surprise the mrs later on, she been waiting ages to use it

    methinks nec525 could be based on a sharp GX phone as that’s what the cable box said
    also ordered the nec case which was better looking than those cheap black leather cases you get for other phones

  63. comment number 63 by: osman

    first i tried to type the command in RUN line because it was not specified in the instructions. Then, I typed CMD in RUN. I found the nectalk in C:\uninstall\nectalk[1]\ , then I typed the command “nectalk -pt pte 10079 unlock”. However, it could not find the right PTE number. Then, I ran NECTALK without any strings, it gave me the PTE number, which is 0079.. then I changed the pte number to 0079 by removing 1. It worked just fine.. Thanx,,

    I used your method. unlocked as follows

    D:\Muthukumar\nectalk -pt pte 0079 unlock
    Using auto-detected COM5.

    D:\Muthukumar>

    Does this mean it is unlocked?. I will try to put some other SIM and see whether it works.

    will get back to you

    I’m having trouble unlocking my NEC 515. I have tried so many times, but can’t. Can you please help? I downloaded the driver and the nectalk. I extracted the nectalk to my hard drive d:/nectalk. I have tried many things but none of them work. Please help me. Can you walk me through it? Please? Thank you. OHHH FYI I get the same things like # 21, 24, 46, and 48. I tried the suggestions of # 62, 63, 66. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  69. comment number 69 by: Ray

    Hi Ali -

    I just purchased a NEC 515 phone and it shipped with your unlocker software; I’ve followed all of the instructions but I can never get past the statement “trying port 3″ and “using autodetected Com 3″ so I can never get the phone to reboot. I’ve tried typing the command: nectalk -pt pte 10079 unlock from the Run command line. This results in the statements listed above popping up then the application closes. Can you offer any insight or advice?

    Thanks,

    Ray

  76. comment number 76 by: bachri

    Hello;

    Hey guys; my name is Bachri; I am writing you with regards of the nec 525 unlocking, my wife had asked me to do so to appreciate the time each one of you took to write her before. I have received my 525 today and immediately got busy to unlock it! My first attempt failed but I realized what I did wrong so I tried the second time fresh on my other compute and I succeeded as I tried a Cingular SIM and it worked. To summarize, assuming you have a good working cable; I got mine from AT&T store because I didn’t want to take chances with the junk cables on Ebay; assuming you have the CD that came with the phone and you have unlock software, you should be able to unlock your phone. The crucial part is to install the driver correctly! If you already screwed up the installation then I would recommend using another computer and start fresh since there will be remnant of the wrong installation in the old computer as it happen to me…I had to use another XP PC.

    Here are detailed instructions for the drivers installation on xp:

    Connecting the USB Cable and NEC Wireless Phone

    Before installing the USB drivers, connect the USB cable to your computer and NEC

    Wireless Phone:

    1. Find the location of the USB port on your computer, usually located at the back of the

    CPU (central processing unit) or case. Some computers have it located on the front.

    2. Insert the computer end of the USB cable into the computer’s USB port.

    3. Gently squeeze the release clips on each side of the USB plug and insert the plug into the

    adapter port of the NEC Wireless Phone.

    _ Be sure that the rectangular opening on the connector is lined up with the rectangular

    opening in the phone. The plug will slide easily into the phone. DO NOT FORCE

    THE PLUG!

    4. Press the (On-Off) key to power-on the NEC Wireless Phone.

    Installing NEC USB Driver Software

    After connecting the USB cable to your computer, the wizard screen should display.

    _ If the wizard does not automatically display:

    _ Ensure the CD is still in the CD drive.

    _ (Depending on your Windows operating system) Select Start, Settings, Control

    Panel, and Add Hardware to display the Add New Hardware Wizard screen

    or Found New Hardware Wizard screen.

    _ Follow the instructions for your particular operating system.

    Windows XP

    To install the USB drivers to Windows XP when the first Found New Hardware Wizard

    screen displays:

    Click Next to continue. The Hardware Installation dialogue box displays.

    2. Click Continue Anyway to continue with the Found New Hardware Wizard screen.

    The USB drivers will begin to be downloaded. When downloading is complete, the last

    wizard screen displays.

    3. Click Finish and another Found New Hardware Wizard screen displays to install the

    next USB driver.

    4. Windows XP will display two (2) more sets of the Found New Hardware Wizard

    screens to install the remaining USB drivers. Follow the previous USB driver

    instructions for Windows XP for each set of the Found New Hardware Wizard screens.

    (Click on Next, Continue Anyway, and Finish.) Make sure you do that to succeed in the driver installation, this is where I missed up first!

    Now what to do next?

    First you want to check if the driver were installed correctly!?

    To make sure: with phone connected to USB,

    go to control panel, phone/modems, and under the modem tab, make sure you

    see the phone, it will be listed as “NEC Portable Phone USB Modem” and a comx port should be listed. If listed then you know the drivers installation went ok.

    Now the unlocking software part:

    Even though Ebay sellers claim to have different unlocking software, they all sell the same program under different name, the name of the one I used is NECTALK, I got it in a zipped format and it should be unzipped before you can run it; in case you don’t have it I am attaching the zipped file to this email, from here follow these steps:

    Nectalk is a DOS mode program, and as such won’t do much if you just run it.

    To unlock your phone (US models), unzip “nectalk” using the winzip utility(winzip.com) into C:\nec, nec is a folder you should have created under C:\

    Go to the nec folder now which is under C:\ and double click on “nectalk.exe” this allows the program to find the com port number x of your phone, in my case it was port com4. Of course in doing so your phone is still connected and is powered on.

    then click on start, run, and type the following:

    C:\nec\nectalk -pt unlock

    And hit “enter” your phone will be powered off! Turn it back on and it will be unlocked, Check by entering: “*#7320#” - if nothing happens until you hit Call and then it says “Not executed” or if it says “Not locked” or “Not suppoted”, the phone is unlocked! If you get a list of paired numbers <123><456> for example, then the phone is still locked and you must have failed somewhere in the process. I wish you guys good luck, and do not hesitate to ask if I missed something above, I will be happy to answer you, and again thank you for replying to Shirley’s messages.

    Bachri

    I unlocked the phone and followed the instructions closely. the phone shutdown but never restarted so i turned it on myself after a few minutes. and put another service providers sim card and it turned on and worked fine. But after a few seconds it shutdown and restarted over and over. Is there anyway to get the phone to stay on while unlocked? Any suggestion would be helpful

The phone is showing in the modems properties menu, but when I try the unlock code nectalk can not find the phone. The other utilities on the CD work fine - picture/video transfer. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Hi, Ive followed ur directions, but I have only one problem. I have my phone plugged in with the driverinstalled and NECTALK downloaded and installed, but everytime I open NECTALK, it opens for 4 secondsand then the window closes every time. How can I deal with this problem

  116. comment number 116 by: Whitney

    I have an NEC 525 phone that I’m using on ATT in the US. Will your method work to unlock my phone as well?

  117. comment number 117 by: uong

    I got my NEC phone unlocked using the program without any problem. I am using ATT service. Before I unlock it, it will not accept other sim card, it will error ” Invalid sim card” if you insert any card other than ATT. However I did not find the *#7230# any useful. It will not tell you whether your phone is lock or unlock. IMPORTANT: It is not true that the phone is unlocked when it return “not executed”. It said the same message before and after I unlock my phone.

    If you have unlock the phone, your NEC can work in ASIA by changing the feq to 900MHz. In countries like, singapore, you can get a sim card for S$20.00(100minutes) or 18.00 for top up(pre-paid, no agreement). In Malaysia, MY$17.00(30 minutes). The phone work in any other asia countries, except Japan, where you have to change the freq to 1800/1900mHz. If you travel to europe, set it to 1800mHz

  118. comment number 118 by: Sukhwinder

    I ahve nec e616V please send me copy of any softwares which is open the lock.

  124. comment number 124 by: Moe

    hi Ali, ive downloaded the files; driver and nettalk,when i boot up nettalk it finds ports 3,4,5,6, then the program shuts, how do i type in the unlock code, i haven found any command for installing the drivers either,there is an uninstall icon but no install icon in the drivers folder, Please help.
    Moe, i have a NEC616v on 3G, in England.

  125. comment number 125 by: Chuck

    Hi Ali, besides using another SIM card to see the phone is unlocked, is there another way? Seem like from uong’s post, *#7230# does not work.

  126. comment number 126 by: mike

    Do you need a sim card in the 525 before you use nectalk. If so does the sim card need to be activated by the service provider. I am unable to have nectalk recognize my phone using all the suggestions contained here.

  127. comment number 127 by: mike

    append to above: I made a little progress using pte0079: program “Found pte code0079″ but had
    “error reading from serial port”
    “This function not supported on this system”
    “communicate got bad response for command “Test Mode On” use PTE Command”

  128. comment number 128 by: mike

    append to above: Finally success!!!!
    changed computers and also com ports. (com 6)
    It appears that the pte code is 0079 (10079 for UK)

    I have ATT wireless/NEC 525 phone and I tried unlocking as mentioned above.
    DOS prompt has returned with out any error message. To confirm I I tried entering *#7230# and I got “not executed” message, but when I tried putting in cingular sim card, I’m getting “Invalid SIM” message. Does that mean, my phone is not unlocked?

    Thanks in advance
