Unlock by Cable

When unlocking your phone using a cable, you obviously need a cable. Depending on the brand and even the model you might need a special cable or the cable that comes with the phone. Our website will indicate exactly which cables are supported when you select your brand and phone model.

When you have the correct cable you usually need to install some drivers so your computer knows how to communicate with your phone (these drivers are not made by us but by the mobile phone companies themselves or by the manufacturers of the chips inside the phone). Then you connect the phone with your computer, start the software you got from us and login using the username and password we have provided you. When you are logged in the software will connect to a our unlock server. Now you are ready to unlock or repair your phone.

How it works in simple steps:
1. Our software reads some data from your phone
2. Data is send to our unlock servers
3. Our server makes some complex calculations based on the data
4. Server sends back the results
5. Our software sends this data to your phone
6. Done.

It is important to always follow our manuals step-by-step when using unlock by cable as this will ensure you a smooth and fast unlock / repair experience.
