Unlock For Root? - G1 General

Is it possible to Unlock a Rooted G1 and if so, how? I have a rooted G1 and I want to Unlock it and sell it to one of my friends so that I could buy the iPhone 3G. Also, does anybody know how much G1's go for? I don't want to rip him off but I don't want to get ripped back. I'm thinking $300-$400. The current G1 has a few scratches on it from being dropped but runs PERFECTLY and is all up-to-date... it even has CyanogenMOD 4.1.11.1 soo? Thanks...

Good idea... but I have to find out how to Unlock because he's on Sprint. And why would I regret selling the G1?

There's no way you could do that. Sprint doesn't use sim cards. But hey sell it to him for $763,987.99.

to unlock, call t-mobile if you have a plan through them. here's a better question, why wouldn't you regret selling your G1

It's pointless to waste your time or money unlocking it because sprint doesn't use sims and they are CDMA where the G1 HAS TO HAVE a sim and is GSM. You prolly will prefer a iphone though it is less work.

Wow you'll really buy me an iPhone? Thanks man. Your awesome! =)

just sell your g1 on ebay for like 300 and get a refurb 3g 16gb from att for 99, just gotta get a 2yr contract (maybe u have a family member who needs a cell plan or a good friend/gf. except if they ship it with 3.1 firmware your ****ed cuz it cant be unlocked for another carrier unless you get one of those special sim cards on ebay.

WTB: N1 with 3G 850 Band

Like the title said i want to buy a New or recently puchased N1. However, it must have 3g 850 band. I am on AT&T.
Holla.
Ebay, Criagslist, Kijiji, etc.
Take your pick
I'll let mine go for $400 + your captivate
Sign up for Google Developer's Account, for $25, then you can buy the Nexus One directly from Google any version you want for $529.
The developer site only has the t-mobile version available I read.

Actually... even at that price, I'd hate to let mine go.
i wanted to buy a n1 ever since it was out. i recent bought an iphone 4 and turn around and sold that pos. with the money i can buy a n1 now. but now google is out and now in the streets looking for one to work on att. honestly why would you sell a n1. way i see it, its the purest android out there.
Just got me a n1. Pick one up from craigslist. This thing is nice. Better than what I expected. Had a captivate but so glad I returned it. Maybe captivate has better screen. So what this thing is modifiable. After I bought the captivated I troll around everyday. Just put it this way. Not much developed. Very happy so far. Let the modifying begin. What to do first. There is much. Lol.

[Lost Nexus] There is yet hope! Nexus just on Wifi?

Yep, thats the bad news today folks.
After loosing it I am forced to call on my insurance and get a new one. Now thats all well and good, but due to recent financial problems I am going to have to instead stick it on ebay.co.uk and flog it for as much as I can.
Just wanted to say bye to you Nexus folk....
If anyone wants to buy it off me instead let me know. Is UK model, fully unlocked of course.
I am now going to go cry a little....
Pffssh... financial troubles? You have TWO kidneys, right?

LoL You have TWO kidneys ONE Nexus You've to decide
--: UPDATE :--
Right, that lost phone I had... HAS NOW BEEN FOUND!
However, I now have a problem. I now have 2 Nexi (that the plural?). However, the one that I lost has been black listed and wont work with a Sim inside, but does work as an ipod touch would. Just miles better as its awesome.
So my question is this, can I live with my nexus one just having Wifi? And whats the best way to go about with this. I could really do with the extra £400 odd selling my unboxed Nexus will get me. However, I wonder if I got a cheap phone just for calls and texts, if I could get my Wifi Nexus to work just like having a call capable nexus would be? Is it going to be to much of a compromise?
Cheers,
Sell your phone to someone in the US. They don't blacklist them here.

That... that right there is an Idea.... Never thought of that.
Means I get a brand new Nexus AND Money for my other nexus... You are a genius!
isnt it fraud if you got your insurance money but then "find" your lost/stolen phone?
Well when I found it, I called up my provider... but the guy on the line said just to keep it. Had to pay a big excess, so maybe thats why.
EDIT: Maybe thats why I never thought of selling it abroad... I do think that is illegal. But my excess was like £300 for it... almost not worth it... >_>. Will just stick with using it as a wifi device I think.
Well, you could use it as a VOIP phone...
ill buy it!! let me know how much u want for it, in USD
does the nexus one have wireless N? most new phones have that.
edit: found out that it doesn't
You can get the phone un-blacklisted, just call your provider. They may need a letter from your insurance company.
If you have one to sell, new or blacklisted, pm me with an amount in sterling or euro.

Yes it does, ever since Froyo arrived.

Good bye again :)

This time it's goodbye to SPRINT and the Hero but not goodbye to XDA.
I'm hanging my hat At the Captivate Portal now.
I would join you, but AT&T IS AN EVIL COMPANY. YOU ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. They ditched their unlimited data plan! The most you can get it 2GB/month. Their customer service sucks, their coverage sucks worse, and they lock down installing non-Market apps on Android phones. They are EVIL!
No more evil than Sprint.
*shrug*
Yeah go ahead and sell me a phone and in less than 10 months tell me that I won't be getting a software update that We all know our phones can handle, just so you can sell me a Phone that WILL have Froyo but I'd have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for.
Have fun with the iPhone network bloat.

lol @ AT&T. I'll never go back to that sh*tty company. Have fun getting f*cked over.
AT&T knows that Android is clearly superior to the iPhone.
That's why they're making all of their Android phones super ****ty and removing functionaity from them that the iPhone doesn't have. AT&T wouldn't have the iPhone exclusively if they weren't taking Apple out back of the building for some extra cash.
Well personally I don't care, but really? AT&T? The worst of the 4
We should start a betting pool for when (not if) he comes back to Sprint. I'll take dibs on 2 months from now. Any other guesses?

I give it within his 30 day trial - what most people dont realize is that ATT, Tmo and Verizon are nowhere near as flexible as Sprint for waiving ETF's, MIR's, Upgrades, Activations, Resets, etc... lol good luck at ATT! See ya back soon!

you joined the dark side (AT&T) what do you expect? btw AT&T was a ****ty company a long time before mobile phones existed, anyone remember carterfone? How about the breakup of the monopoly into the smaller regional bells?
I'm proud to say that I have NEVER done any business with AT&T, wired or wireless.

Buying This As a Dedicated Android Device

I saw that the development for android on this device has gotten pretty far. I a curious, would it be worth it to buy this just for android? I guess I'm asking, is it that reliable that I can use it as the main OS? These phones go cheap now and I wouldn't mind having an android phone
Absolutely. I still activate mine every now and then just for the heck of it. Sure, the screen isn't the most vibrant and it isn't the fastest, but I still enjoy using it.

Agree with the poster above. Most builds out there are feature rich and will give you the full Android experience (assuming that you have data in your plan, that is). And yes, it is a very cheap way to get into Android.
That's great to hear. I have seen these go as cheap as 50 bucks used on ebay I will definitely try to get one. Just a question, anybody know any good sites for buying older phones like this on the cheap? eBay only has so many in my range and I'd hate to miss out on this experience because I couldn't scrape up the cash in time.

You may be able to find some in XDA's marketplace. But eBay is your best bet (I got mine there for $80)
Alright, one last question. Can I unlock this while on Android? I found a sprint touch online for dirt cheap but I am a Verizon customer. If I get the sprint one, can it be unlocked when using Froyo?

You'll have a tough time getting it activated on Sprint. It is doable, but try to find a Verizon one... that would be your best bet.
So it IS possible to unlock a sprint Touch an use it on Verizon while on android? I heard that Verizon does not have sprint ESNs in their DB so actiavtion may require sweet talking the reps. I just found a touch through sprint for 37 shipped and I want to know if it will work in my situation for sure.

QVC.com Has The Galaxy N7100 Available On Thier Site

Dunno if anybody here uses QVC but yea they got it listed and available. I called up asking about it since my mother let's me use her account sometimes and they told me I had a easy payment option I could use towards it. It's on easy pay now too, I kinda backed up away from the N7100 version since there's no LTE and only 3G connections. But figured I'd inform those users who like this version.
http://www.qvc.com/Samsung-Galaxy-N...martphone-Search-Results.product.E264631.html
its 900+ dollars lol
Yea ONLY 900 bucks... I'm sure there'll be some people out there willing to pay that to avoid craigslist and ebay and getting ripped off by a generic knock-off clone.
Another reason why I backed off from that QVC offer. LoL
I bet they sell it on tv as been the perfect phone for the old dears with bad eyesight.....

Speaking of that, I've been trying to trade all of my gaming systems(Modded Wii, Fat Ps3 1st Gen and Xbox 360 Elite with 15 Games) for one, I wanna upgrade from my Dell Streak 5. So far no takers, even though what people don't get is ya could sell all of these on ebay and easily make what they're asking for for their Note 2. I'm wanting to get either the AT&T or T-Mo model.
