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.

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.

ok seriously... i think we have another ChrisChavez on our hands here, take yourself over to iphonetools.com or whatever yall use and keep this forum for G1.
forumz we dont uze! we are superzc00l iphonerzzz man!
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....

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.
So, whoever it was on this site claiming to work for Sprint is likely full of it.
He assured people over and over that if your upgrade was before April 1st that you would NOT lose it.
I had an upgrade in March (save 150$). I lost it. All I have now is save 75$ or save 150$ in 273 more days.
Now that T-Mobile is going away, Sprint will likely do more stuff like this.
I bought my evo last year the day it was releqsed (i think june 4th)on contract and it shows Im eligible for the full $150

i was eligible for an 150$ upgrade in feb, now it shows 75$ and and 150$ in january...i am confused and hope that this asking for a reset thing will work...if not i may leave for T-Mobile when it gets the HTC Pyramid..same as Evo3D just no 3D...
Don't worry buddy all these wireless providers are starting to do shady sh!t like that its pretty sad. When I start my own wireless company called "diggler mobile" ill let you switch your numbers over; My slogan will be "come to the darkside, we have LTE"
On topic though, why would you listen to someone over a forum(not bashing dirtyshroomz ^_^) but wouldn't it have been smarter to call care, or chat with a Rep in store?; people sometimes carry different info man so you really can't point the finger at anyone.

I got some bad information from someone in a forum. It is obviously a lesson learned. Dirtyshrooms claimed to be a rep and I believed him.. so what. I won't make that mistake again.
So, why are you *****ing about me *****ing anyway?
I was looking at the HTC 3d, but definitely not now. It may be all the better since HTC is locking that crap down anyway =\
T-Mobile is soon to be AT&T so I highly doubt there will be anything there for me... although I am checking into it right now.
lost mine too, I only 120 days out from my contract being done anyways. I bought evo full price and plan to do so with the nexus s, and sell my evo for +150 plus should be like upgrade price anyways.
On a side note I remember reading that android would lower the prices of phones since OEM's would not have to hire software engineers to make their own or license from MS. So when is that going to happen
This statement is no intention of *****ing or trolling

Because it's a bull****, underhanded, bait and switch move. Yeah Sprint is within their contractual "right" to rescind the incentive they offered so many thousands of people, but it's dirty pool man. In retrospect I do believe this was a calculated move to maximize new subscriptions with the EVO then turn around and sell more EVOs before the next big **** comes out.
A csr said to me "but sir, none of our competitors offer yearly upgrades".. Ma'am, none of your competitors offered yearly upgrades WHEN YOU OFFERED IT TO ME IN 2009!!
They have absolutely sent the message to this consumer "We know we're the best deal in town, if you want to go to Big Red or Hell (at&t) please BE OUR GUEST!, and fvck off while you're at it"
Of course I'm not leaving Sprint. IMO they have the best phone (just one, the evo, but I only need one phone) and I admit all this apparent collusion between Sprint and Google is very exciting.
In summary: Sprint, imo you're the best wireless service provide but why you gotta go **** blocking us loyal customers right before the hottest ***** in history hits the street??
That hurts my feelings, and I feel some serious e-blue-balls coming in a few months..
Ultimately I'll probably end up selling plasma (kidding) so I can buy the 3D at full price, but dammit you can't make me be happy about it!!

Just called, FIRST I would like to apologize if dirtyshroomz see's this. I am still eligible for an upgrade so I jumped the gun ALSO to let everyone know, for some reason my line that has $75 dollars off in September is going to be a full upgrade JULY of next year, so its no a full 12 months thought that was pretty cool!

Yeah that would be the "smarter" thing to do.....lol
I had a webchat with a sprint csr last week, and he said I had a full upgrade eligibility as of 7/1/11. I got my phone on 7/30/10.
On April 1st, i texted upgrade to '1311" and it said the same thing...$150 upgrade on 7/1/11.
Well I just logged onto the Sprint website and now they are saying 5/1/12. I guess no EVO 3D for me. Sprint's ETF are pretty small, so I imagine I'll just break contract and go somewhere else this summer.
Rule of thumb: Don't take the word of a guy who calls himself "DirtyShroomz" as gospel.

DirtyShroomz does work for Sprint, he's been around for a long time on these forums and he's helped a lot of people out.
Instead of your wild claims about how Dirty ruined your life, why don't you either:
a) PM him and work it out, or
b) at the very least, post a link or at least quote the "bad" information he gave you.
Starting a thread to specifically bash another user (especially one who goes out of his way to use his unique position and experience to help others, OFF the clock for free).... well that's just a low blow, man.
I'm not saying he didn't give you bad info, but I am saying you need to either post the specifics or keep your mouth shut.

I think people already knew about this, but also most people don't open their phones anyway. Might make repair costs increase though!
yep normally dont buy insurance for phones but bought a squaretrade plan this time around
When it comes to T-Mobile, I'll be adding the 7 dollar a month insurance plan definitely.

That's a good point, but if you bought either of the Unlocked versions I highly doubt you'd be able to add any carrier insurance.. :/
If you're in the UK, Nationwide and Co-op give you really comprehensive mobile phone cover with their premium current accounts, as well as a load of other benifits (worldwide annual travel insurance, with diving/winter sports cover, breakdown cover, etc). Costs £10 per month. Well worth going with that in my opinion. Thats if you're not already covered with your home insurance.

iFixit messed this one up...they should have at least looked under the detachable speaker covers which are the last seal in the assembly but they acted under the assumption it's fully zero gap and so they broke it

I hope you verified the IMEI before paying. If stolen, you just bought a 580 dollar paper weight. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it often is.

Exactly. Looks like he found one of the phones "lost" in the mail that people never received. LOL. It's totally stolen. The clock is ticking.
Or he got the phone for little of nothing.... I bought my note 7 from a guy in craigslist that worked for Verizon. He used his employee discount, traded in an old phone. He gave me the receipt and this full only paid $159 for a brand
New note 7 lol. There's deals to be had out there, don't try and ruin my man's day with your scepticism and negativity
Prepare your butthole OP. A guy on Reddit bought one for $950 or so, and it got blacklisted.

It's not skepticism and negativity, it's realistic thinking. Anyone who sells a phone at hundreds of dollars of a loss would have to be a complete idiot, filthy rich, or a thief - thief is most likely by far. OP is probably in for a bad surprise soon. Your situation was different because he had the receipt. If OP had the receipt, he'd have gotten a great deal.
He probably financed it then will say he lost it and wont have to pay it off anymore and it will get blacklisted.

Yeah I can see. The guy clearly said he is not an Android used it and bought thinking he would try it but dint even bothered
Its a done deal, all you can do is hope for the best. There are good deals like this or even better. Long ago when the Htc rezound came out with beats headphones I snagged it on ebay for $199 right when it came out. The woman said she went back to her iphone and just wanted the $199 she paid to upgrade to it. This was when buying the phone was $600 out right. So deals are to be had, but yes there are people selling then claim lost or stolen and get another or out of paying for them or dont pay their bill and it goes to collection which the carrier does blacklist the imei.
Yes it sucks you cant really trust anyone when it comes to buying phones.

So he immediately took an almost $300 loss on a device he never opened. That doesn't sound made up at all. Anyone with a printer can produce a receipt. Do I hope you got the best deal in the world, yes I do. But chances are much more stacked against you. I myself would be worried to even have a stolen device that can easily be tracked in my possession. But I guess you just wait and see at this point. Either its not stolen and the guy is a moron, or you bought a hot phone. Let's hope it's not the latter. I just don't see why he would sell it so cheap on craigslist and take a loss. The Pixel XL 32gb is starting at $899 on eBay and other quick buy sites since Google is having a hard time filling orders. I've seen the 128 listed at 1400. It's a high value item. No one would sell it that cheap unless they wanted to offload it quick and had no real profit margin. And craigslist is the best place for selling stolen goods.
