Hi guys, I dunno if this is the right forum for this, but need to unlock my G1/Dream so I can use my ATT Sim Card in it.
- I've tried T-Mobile, but they told me some BS that I had to have an account with them for like 60 days before they could do something like that for me, WTF.
- I really don't wanna pay to do it, b/c stores here are charging like $35 bucks!
I have the IMEI #, so if anybody can help me, I would really appreicate it!

I need to unlock my g1 too. I bought mine off ebay not thinking to ask the person to unlock it before shipping it to me
^Well, after searching the forums, there is a sticky here telling how you can do it...But calling T-Mobile isn't working for me.
If anybody here has a T-Mobile acct., please help!

Search on ebay for "G1 unlock code" and you'll get dozens of hits. I've purchased several codes from a seller called swiftsales714 and have always been satisfied.
^Thanks for the info, I'll check this out...

I'm assuming that people don't understand where they enter their unlock code. If this is anything like the other Android devices I've owned, then they have to stick in a sim card that doesn't belong to the carrier it's locked to. After you do that, it will ask you for the code to enter in.

When you get the unlock code from tmobile it does come with instructions.

Well obviously some of the phones that where unlocked do not register to the cell network anymore. They can not even scan for networks.
So if you want to provide some help here then please:
Tell us how the unlock process worked. Especially did you phone reboot after you entered the code. How long did the reboot take, ...
If you can an want please provide a logcat of the radio from the moment of boot until the data connection is established.
Thanks
I got my unlock code emailed to me, but I'm going to get a new phone at Costco today. The deal is just too good to pass up vs. from the T-mobile store.
After I get the new phone I'll unlock it!
Did they get their codes from tmobile or another source? Even in the instructions it said it was gonna reboot. Mine did after I typed it in then the reboot was as long as a normal reboot. And that's it

Does anyone know what I have to do to get my Htc HD2 t-mobile to work oversea such as Thailand? I'm going over there for 2months and when I leave, the phone will be staying there with my brother to keep. Contract will end when I get back so HTC G2 here i come. Sorry I'm a noobie that just starting to like cell phone and gadgets. Please Help!
Put in a request for a SIM unlock code from your carrier (T-Mobile) and they should send one out to for free via email after a few weeks.
After obtaining the code, insert a different card other than T-Mobiles SIM and input the code.

Dumb question... Does installing HSPL, MAGLDR and Android unlock the HD2 to other carriers? If not, how's that done? Do I just need an unlock code from T-Mobile?
Yep. Believe you need the code.

From what I've read, sounds right.

You are screwed like me. Trust me, TMobile wont give you the code unless your a TMobile customer. I tried calling them 8 times to get a code and they didn't want to give me it. I had to pay $40 for a code. Your best bet it to go on ebay and look for the code.
Good luck.
Yeah well I'm a T-Mobile customer so I'm good.

sometimes they want you to have it for X amount of time...so in that case just say you are going out of the country and want to use it on a different network. (if you need all that...) good luck.

not yet that I know of.
there's are apps that allow unlocking for the SII and III (and others) but I'm not sure it works on the S4 yet, we'll just have to wait and see
Thanks for taking your time to reply.

I bought a tmob n3 yesterday. Putting my Att Sim in I get a Sim unlock password request. I thought I could just pop in my Att Sim.and go..any ideas? Do I have to call tmob to get the unlock..I bought it at full price

I think I read somewhere that t-mobile will make you keep the phone on their service for at least one billing cycle before they unlock it.
You'd better just call them and ask, the store clerks will give you an answer, or 3 answers, probably all wrong.
Please update the thread when you know for sure.

Its a 40 day wait for unlock, not sure if you could talk some manager into bypassing it. You could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471742

That looks to work if you don't need a true unlock where you can use any sim without restricts. I had great results with cellunlocker.net. It's $25 but you never have to worry about it again.
+1 for cellunlocker.
