Both were from the same provider and both didn't accept the unlocking code from the provider for some reason. After trying the usual tools without luck, we used the [testpoint method](http://www.allsiemens.com/testpoints/siemens-A55.htm). Using very sharp tweezers, we scratched away the protective from the desired trace and cut it. Now we were able to use *Freia* without any problems. (set to "Bootcore Bug")
