locked or bricked v3re

[syko one]

Hi, I brought an Australian v3re, and proceeded to flash it with a few mps, all from the downloads section on this forum, all claiming to be "unlocked" silly me, found the sim connecting pin was bent, which fixed my intert sim error. Now it is asking me for a subsidy code, as I am in New Zealand, we only have vodafone, telecom xt, and telstra i cannot ask the company who it is locked to for a code. Is there any way to unlock it without smart clip or those expensive options? was supposed to be for my girlfriend. I have torx drivers to pull them apart, i have a v3i, v3xx and v3r in parts that can be used if that is any help.
Bootloader
0c.c1.
SW version:
R3442A_G_0E.43.08R

that is what comes up under bootloader. any help would be greatly apprectiated!

For V3re0c.c1 and V3xx
try buy code if you don't have smart box...google for cheap for service.

and v3 and v3r use ms tool cracked google for it.

and lastly for bricked argon base model like-v3re, v3xx, bla bla....and so on ...you will need box

Yes. Sorry, you will need the code, or the box. And even if it is stated sometimes, that some of the MPs are locked, they will not relock any unlocked phone, only lock it to a different provider. So your phone was not entirely unlocked. You could get help from the Australian original provider. The code is phone specific, regardless what provider it is locked to, it ios always the same subsidy code for that phone.

okay, I can't get hold of original owner, they left the country. The v3re is the only one I have that is locked. I also have a v3r, will post about that one in appropriate section. The v3xx is fine, it just needs a new housing. Thank you for your help though. So there is absolutely no way ( tp, anything like that) I can do or attempt to do myself to unlock it? I am happy to try anytihng, even if it's just a theory, As I have a v9 which I use. The v3s I just use for fun and practice for making software etc.

we have been trying to find a free method to unlock the v3re, but it requires a special TP which can only be performed by a "Box". the only other way is to buy an unlock code from an online service. hopefully you can find a reputable one that can do it.
