Vaio P unlock Problem

[franjavier]

I bought a Sony Vaio P in the US, Im trying to unlock it with the DC Unlocker software but I havent have success yet.

The problem is that it cannot detect the card.

The DC unlocker request to chose a manufacturer: Huaweii, Maxon, etc. I choose all of them and none of them worked for detecting the card.

Please advice if currently DC unlocker is supporting Sony Vaio P bough in the US.

I see that the manufacturer card of my Vaio is Qualcomm incorporated (smith micro software).

Maybe supported, but what modem inside ? Can you check in device manager what modem you see ? Models from Japan is Globetrotter GTM382 module MO40x is supported. I not sure what model in US.
To detect close connection software.

I have the japanese version and I had to install some utility to turn on/off Wwan, as it's default off. However, turning on wwan turns of wlan, so you need some other means to be online while unlocking. Since the P does not have an ethernet port (at least without a port replicator) this can be frustrating. I ended up using an EVDO modem.

However I was UNABLE to unlock my modem, but I guess there is difference between the US and Japansese version?

Here is my log if anyone have any ideas (support was mailed about this a few minutes ago).

Ahh. Forums is a great thing!

I searched for errorcode 24 in this forum, and folliowed an advice.
After getting the error, I rebooted and tried again!
Sucess!

So I can confirm that the Dc-Unlocker works with the japaneese Vaio P (VGN-P80H).

Thanks!

ravngun, did you do anything before rebooting? I'm having the code 24 problem noew. Sometimes DC Unlocker even failed to detect the device.

Thanks.

I used an older version of DC Unlocker and the problem is solved.Howeer, I cannot install Globetrotter connect 3! Globetrotter connect 2 cannot detect the device!
