hi everyone
i'm a devepler in korea who i interested in Android.
so A few week ago. I buyed a htc magic g2 through the eBay.
I was happ when i got it first. but, That was starting to go the hell..
I have to find sim card. In Korea sim card is still not used. so, I couldn't access 3g. but my friend gave to me sim card that he used in japan.
so, I could see text box to enter some code...
oh my! I buyed locked phone.. T.T
anyway i puchase unlock code through the some site.
and go to next stage. but..
I can't sign up google account.. because. I can't access both 2g and 3g..
so.. I was googling..
I found some information about ADB installation. but that solution needs DEBUGGING mode on phone.. but As I already told you, I can't sign up google account and I can't handle any setting..
Other soultions is all about G1..
now.. I'm deep depressed..
I want somebody help me..
Should I buy a G1?

The guy who I got it from had Unlocked in the title. But when I put my Rogers SIM card in it says Network is locked. Please input unlock code.
Any cheap fast ways of getting rid of this? Thanks!
----------------------------------
UPDATE:
OK. So I tryed an unlocker from ebay twice (I didnt notice that the default email for my paypal account was an old invalid email of mine, but they should get a failure to deliver notice and refund my money, or so I hope) and I got a message back that read:
Hello - This is an automated message from NewMobileFreedom.com to let you know your unlock code is now available on our online tracking system.
Model: Wing
Code: NOT FOUND
Provider: T-Mobile
They say if they cant unlock it they will refund my money back. Does this mean no one can unlock me phone???
What should I do? Has anyone got a better way of getting this phone unlocked??? Thanks!
EDIT: I don't know if it matters, but the IMEI on the box is a bit different than the one from the phone (*#06#) the box has 15 digits and the phone show two extra digits - so 17 in total. Should I have given the 17 digit on???

i don't know if that will work because he doesn't have t-mobile ( and they aren't available in canada ) that's why he's trying to unlock the phone so he can use Roger's Wireless.
I'm using their web chat right now trying to get it from them... this could take a while. Where's Mitnick when you need him?
*Update* I got shutdown.
you could always purchase the unlock...
or is that out of the question.
No, I just did that. I'll get the code in the next day or two...

Well a friend of myne returned to lithuania for a few days and he gave me his old T-Mobile (HTC Sapphire MyTouch 3G) phone as he didn't need it anymore. But we don't have T-Mobile here and when i try to boot it up it asks me to login with a google account and i can't do anything since no T-Mobile , means no internet connection can't login. I tried fastboot but it says "not allow" adb woun't work since i can't enable debugging , not can i mount the damn sd card.
Is it still possible to do anything with it or should i trash it ?
Don't trash it!!
Get a local SIM with data (just pay as you go), try to find one with data where you pay by the megabyte. Then at the google sign in screen, press menu and enter the apn for your network. You will then be able to sign in.
I'v actually tried two local sims , trying to enter the APN just doesn't let me save
if i press save what i typed just disapear, and it does not let me connect.
Tried hot-swapping the T-Mobile sim that came with the phone to no avail
Funny how people are quick to throw $400 phones away because they cant find a "simple" answer.
You can either find a cell company that uses Tmobiles networks, we have a few here in florida... Or you can get an unlock code through many a website or ebay emailed to you and use it on any company that uses a sim and the same baseband frequencies.... ATT, Virgin mobile etc....
Or you can send it to me to use as a development phone lol J/K ... maybe ;P
We got 3 providers here none of which have anything to do with T-Mobile (2 of which i already tried)
And i can't really find any way (as far as i read) to access it without getting past the google screen and enabling adb
Maybe a gold card would work ? but doesn't hat require enabling "unknown sources"
which again i can't do without getting past the damn google screen :|
(i'm not in USA btw , i'm in Lithuania (small european country))

lol, I know your not in the US. But you do have at least one GSM carrier right? one that uses sim cards? If so, you need to unlock the phone with a code given from ebay or one of the many sites.
Using a gold card is not going to help you. Rooting it would help you get past the sign in screen, but using a gold card can just brick it anyway.
We have 3 carries that use sim cards but none of them worked , tried all of them
all had data plans but apn just doesn't work at all on them
and i'm kind of weary of those unlock codes since i can just pay money and get a bogus code

They arent going to work unless you unlock the phone.
And thats why you dont buy a code from sme random person. You find a respectable seller on ebay or research a site.
I suggest ebay the best because they will email the code to you and give you instructions.
Again, the reason they didnt work is because the phone is locked to only using tmobile.
Once unlocked it can work on any sin card using carrier, but some take some extra settings.
can you guys recommend a good unlock code seller ? is it possible to get it for 10$ or less?
Are our hacked hd2 unlocked and able to work with At&t. I just got a hd7 and i want to give my gf the hd2. Thank you in advance.
no, buy a code online or ask the phone provider if it's a network phone.
if you call up t-mobile and tell them you want to unlock your hd2 you really dont even need to say what for they'll give you a code (for free) that will allow you to sim unlock your phone to be used on the at&t network. very simple process to do. just put in a at&t sim card and punch in a few numbers. thats it. if for what ever odd reason they dont want to give you a code you can always look on ebay i seen them just yesterday for $10.
Hi, i buy this phone from Ebay, and needs to be unlocked, but surprise to me, is imposible cause the loop puk error that many persons have.
I flash and rebranding an use a lot of different SIM cards, also ATT cards and nothing happens, nothing can pass that loop of PUK.
Thinking in something about the software.
I dont know whats wrong, but i waste my money, i bought IMEI Unlock with PUK code for the phone, but nothings helps. So sorry for me, but for new users, listen to my words, dont waste your money in this phone on Internet, if your carrier sells you, is okay, but dont buy this phone on Internet, because you dont know what do you get.
EDIT: Please if somebody knows some trick to do...i trying everthing from debranding, to use nodo, to upgrade or use hacks, and i have imei and unblock imei codes, puk codes from and for the phone...the phone works flaweslly, and its new.
I'll be aprecciated a lot, or pay for a real solution if is possible!
(No rebel sim or something)
Nobody help? Anyone? A clue?
I think it's a somethig about the soft.
EDIT: Let's see my last hope, i wanna buy a Rebel SIM Card. No hope, i think would be a waste of money.
So, this is the end for this phone, if doest work, oficially its a bug on the Phone..
you gonna need some software to unlock it using usb data cable . go to some tech guy who unlock phones near you ! they'l defenetly help you out .
btw .... i don't think flashing would help because thease stuff is stored in nvrom and can be unlocked using some tool box , which usually tech guys has !
even i'm having this problem ...follow my post on

I recently shifted from iOS to this amazing phone just a day back. I saw my friend having this phone and bought it the next day a few hours before my flight in India. I am now in Vietnam and tried inserting the sim card it went on to ask me for a Unlock Code. I removed the sim and put it back on my old phone, after finding out about the Network Lock by Samsung. My Question is can I have any alternative methods than the 5 minute call from the country purchased in ? I am not going back to India for another 6 months and would be so sad to see this phone not being my primary phone
Hope you amazing people out there can guide me on this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you for the Reply. I tried flashing (Good thing is half the bloatware is removed now) but still no luck with the network unlock. When I enter my local sim card it still asks for a Netowrk Unlock Code.
How about this suggestion: Order an Indian pre-paid sim card, one that also allows you to make international calls. Put that in your phone, and make a call for 5 minutes. If I remember correctly, the sticker on the box doesn't say that you actually have to make the 5-minute call in the country of purchase. It only says you need to make the call with a sim card of the country of purchase (I don't have the sticker anymore, so I could be wrong).
