    my friend gave me this phone to sell on ebay and we were going to split it 50/50 but when it only sold for 15 bucks the seller refused to pay for the phone and i was going to list it again but this time i wanted to unlock it to try and get a little more then 15 bucks.

    my IMEI:
    0107830004592217

    here are my unlocking codes:
    #pw+105994627361504+1#
    #pw+344116361233527+2#
    #pw+797500315507610+3#
    #pw+055213572344427+4#
    #pw+329436540716046+5#
    #pw+114994032231105+6#
    #pw+222425041016333+7#

    when entering any of these codes it tells me its not allowed.
    now everywhere iv seen tells me i need to send the phone in to be unlocked now.
    what i want to know is what exactly do they do that unlocks the phone that i cant do at home. i have a decent understanding in electronics and electronic repair from my previous xbox modding years. i was wondering if anyone could help me out on understanding what exactly gets done to the phone when its sent in to be unlocked.

    i would much rather do this myself then to send it away for a phone i was only going to make 15 bucks off of, plus it if breaks then it was only 15 dollars i lost.

    someone please let me know how i can fix this to hopefully make a little more cash from ebay on this phone.

    thanks
    -Ben

    WHAT "CAN NOT UNDO RESTRICTION" & "NOT ALLOWED" MEANS


    When you have seen the message (Can Not Undo Restriction) or (Not Allowed), it means one of the following:

    1.) You entered 5 or more wrong codes into your phone. Some models only allow 3 chances.

    2.) The phone was bought off Ebay and the seller did the same as above. This may be why they sold it.

    3.) You have browsed around looking at other peoples phones and assumed the code that worked for their model, would also work on yours. All IMEI numbers are different, which means every code for different phones will be different.

    4.) You kept entering the same code over and over when seeing "code error" the first time. You should only enter a code ONCE!!

    YOU ONLY GET 3 TO 5 CHANCES TO ENTER THE CORRECT CODE

    This means that your phone is hardlocked to the original provider and it will only work with the original provider.

    The only way to unlock your mobile is to take / send it to a professional unlocker or a shop that offers a direct unlocking service.
