Unlocking the Wireless LAN and USB host on the EM ONE

You cannot use the Wi-Fi or the USB host on the EM ONE (S01SH) unless the E-Mobile SIM card is in the device (there is a chance that the Bluetooth is locked as well). Unfortunately, many of the S01SH or S01SH alpha's are sold without the E-Mobile USIM.

To override this, you need a normal 2G SIM card from you own operator and an unlocking solution such as the HyperSIM, the INEX, the i-smartphone etc. You can buy one from Ebay. Follow seller instructions on how to attach the unlock chip to your SIM card, insert into the EM ONE and voila! You have a fully functioning device!

I have tested this with an i-smartphone and a HyperSIM (from Feb. 2008). My guess is that all similar solutions designed for SoftBank Sharp phones will work. I do not know about DoCoMo Sharps.
