Hello,
Anyone knows how to unlock the T-Mobile Wing, if so, please let me know.
Your help will be appreciated
Thanks
if by unlocked you mean a sim-unlock, contact your service provider ~90 days after you purchased your phone and ask for the unlock code.
if by unlocke you mean a CID-unlock, go to the WM6 forum and hard-spl your phone. Make sure you follow the directions.
In the future, please search before you post.
I meant sim-unlocked. I was just wondering, 90 days is much to wait ...
Do you know how to sim-unlock it?

Sure! You have 2 choices. Either pay for an unlock code on line or be a T-Mobile customer for 90 days in good standing and get it free.
I'm in the US Navy. I explained to the service rep that I was going overseas and wanted my unlock code. I got it no problem. This was 3 days after I bough my phone.
oh is that so? its good to know.
and also, thank you for your service to our country.

I dont kno who in the world TOLD u its 90 days...but smack them...u def call t-mobile...tell them ur going on a trip and u need ur wing unlocked...they ask for the imei and an email to mail the instructions...i got mine in 45 hrs...look man...I've sat quiet and watched people just make up advice an answers...lol
Really? How long have you been with TMobile? I unlocked my phone after 90 days with tmobile (the wing was my first tmobile phone). It might be different for those that upgraded though, especially if they 've been with tmobile since they were voicestream (like my mom).
I would like to +1 to the going overseas. I went to guam for a month and wanted to use my phone there. They sent me the unlock code in about 2 days I think. Once there I used a local GSM provider on a pay as you go. was like $70 for a pre-paid with 1200 minutes that called the US for 1 to 1 minutes. It wasn't too bad.
I guess, I will have to wait. The thing is, I am T-Mobile customer since 02, but I got the phone from my cousin who signed a new contract with T-Mobile less than 2 weeks ago, just to give me the Wing, since he has N95.
I just thought there might be a way to sim unlock it without payin for unlock codes on ebay,...

i've been wit T-mobile since Voicestream
I've been with T-mobile, Voicestream, Powertel .... going back to the early 90's
Quick question, and sorry of this seems dumb.
Why do I need to "unlock" the phone and what does it achieve? I have had the Wing for any about 2 months but I will be leaving in a few to go out of the country and need it working. I have had standard phones in the past and they always worked outside the US.
One more, I live in Colorado and went up to do some snowboarding over the weekend and had no service...I always have service there, does this unlocking thing have something to do with that?
I have flashed to a new ROM recently that I found here so it is not stock.
Unlocking has nothing to do with your problem. I live on a hill, almost eye-level with a Sprint cell phone tower, and I get 2 bars most times in my living room.

In that case I am a bit concerned about not having service at Copper Mountain.
I wish I could remember but I went up a few weeks back and I think...I am not sure, I had flashed this new ROM just before that, and I had service so I belive this new ROM worked up there before. Now, Saturday it did not, not even weak signal, just "searching..." I though also it might have something to do with a cab I downloaded last week to fix my problem with not receiving MMS. My MMS works now and here in town, I get fine service but why would it not work at this resort? I have always has great service up there, even on the top of the mountain. My friend has Cingular and his phone had great signal.
Unlocking enables you to use any other SIM card on your phone. it has nothing to do with the reception. Your issue would be the new ROM you flashed, try a different Radio and that should help.

Actually, I should have been more specific. I know what unlocking does (both types), I am just not sure if I need to do it or not. Do I NEED to do it if I am leaving for Europe for my phone to work? My previous phones I have had worked with no problem in every country I have been to. But I am not sure about a PPC.
What would cause my phone to only work in a specific area? When I got back to town, I had fine reception. Just not at the resort and it had previously worked fine. Could it be a setting that got changed when I added that cab to update setting for MMS or is that just data connection settings? The cab was listed here on post # 205.

I have the same ROM (Touch IT 4.4) and have had issues with the MMS so have used exactly the same CAB you pointed out-
I did notice that the reception is worse with the 4.4 so i dont think its any issue with the CAB. Like i recommenced, try a new Radio, some could boost your reception. ( but yea, places where i had 4 bars now only has 2 or less, so i would say its the Radio issue rather than the MMS Cabs you installed)

OK, thanks! So can I get just a new radio version or do I need a new ROM?
Hi everyone. I am sure there are serveral threads already on here in which people have asked about the new HD2 and AT&T's 3G signal. I searched around and found tidbits of information here and there so I thought I'd start a new thread and ask some questions that some of us AT&T users here in the states have.
I purchased a Touch HD (T8285) from an Australian seller not too long ago that was branded with the Telstra logo on it and it worked with my AT&T 3G signal here in the US near the Washington DC area.
My question to everyone is, is there a Telstra version of the HD2 currently available that will also work with the AT&T 3G signal? I see that there are a bunch of vendors in the UK that are selling this phone and I believe they won't work with our 3G signal here but is there an Australian one that will?
If so, where can someone buy or preorder it from? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated.
That's the answers we're waiting for (the other being that whether it'll come to AT&T at all).

Well any news is good news. Unfortunately we don't have any at this time. I read somewhere that Telstra is currently testing this phone on their Next G network and is hoping to have it Q1 of 2010 which is the same timeframe as when T-Mobile is going to get it. I can't wait that long.
I Live in the US - Could not Wait Bought HD2 Euro Version - WOW
Couldn't wait until Q1-Q4 of 2010... The phone is unbelievably fast. So fast that being on a Slow EDGE connection speed and toggling to WiFi is almost not noticeable? Windows 6.5 runs really nice, there is absolutely no lag(AT ALL). A Running talley of open applications without lag is 40 apps. Big hitters like you-Tub, GoogleMaps, Acrobat, Opera, MorphGear, TCMP player, IE, TombRaider 3d. Digital Compass, Mobile Market Place, Remote Desktop, Bing... they just all run and the phone is super snappy? I have not had the phone crash or had to reset because of the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS freezing up, WHICH IS A WINMO FIRST...
Coming from the Resistive Touch HD screen, I think my only complaint so far is actually the Capacitive touch screen... It takes a second to get used to this. It's not bad but I find myself having to do things a few times...Dude typing with the onscreen keyboard is little hard because of the multiple touch input... Using your finger as apposed to a stylus is a big change...the HD2 doesn't have a stylus so, it's sort of a trial by fire...
Over all the device is crazy awesome, and It will definitely be the Gadget of the Year If it hits US 3G?

There is already a thread on this topic. I am waiting for the Telstra version myself. Interestingly, Telstra has a website. Yeah, who knew? Anyway, they are an amazing resource on which phones are available to Telstra subscribers.
Ok. I have I answer to where you can get the Austrailian HD2 that runs 3G on AT&T. Email [email protected] as they will have this week. Ask for Kevin and say Jeff gave me info and it's yours at the best price anywhere. For real!

They've been available on eBay for a while now. Just make sure you get the right one.

This is already well known and this thread is months old. This is your first post... what made you dig up this old thread and bring it back from the dead?
Also, welcome to xda.
I am currently in the USA and that is reason why I decided to decode my HTC HD2 before departure. Decoding is inserted last rom and everything is working properly at all, except now I haven’t 3G on phone (Im on AT & T). After few days I went in their office, but without solutions, they said ... Sorry but no phone purchased from us. Help if you know how.....edge is so slow
p.s. I have windows 6,5.
Hardware issue I suspect, if you have an EU or TMOUS HD2 it will not have the radio hardware & bands for at&t 3G. only at&t & Australian telstra HD2 models have the hardware & band specs for 3G on at&t.
Do a search on this via XDA or Google as well discussed here on XDA & many other forums ..
check your radio rom, please... good luck..

Radio rom has nothing to do with it. It's a hardware thing. The chip set used in T-Mobile and European phones do not have the right bands to connect to 3g on At&t it's that simple. There is nothing that can be done about it other then buying a phone that belongs on At&t.
Thanks all of you, Wil Badgeru is 99,9% right, my phone is not for USA.
Hi guys,
I am waiting for my LG GT540 to come in the mail (yay). However, I just read a seller on eBay claiming that the LG GT540 will not work with Tmobile's 3g, only AT&T's 3g. Is this true? If so, then that's a huge bummer!
Is there anyway to get a 3g connection with tmobile?
Thanks!
Is the phone you buying locked ??

Hi there, no it isn't. The phone I bought is unlocked (I bought it from welectronics.com, but I was just curious and looked on eBay after I bought it already) and I'm in the USA.
This is the phone that I saw on eBay with the seller claiming that the 3g will not work with T-mobile: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-GT540-UN...0845109360?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item336b64f070.
That isn't the one I bought though. The phone I bought is here: http://www.welectronics.com/gsm/lg/LG-GT540-PINK.HTML
Thanks.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't wait to get this phone in the mail, but the lack of 3g will be a setback...
3g would work.....don't worry.
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium
I've been trying to figure out the 3g for 45 minutes now and talking with a Tmobile rep who isn't able to figure it out. Can someone help me? I'm on the 2g network now and cannot get 3g. I'm sure some of you got 3g...thanks! =)
UPGRADE TO 2.3.7! AND PLEASE DONT MAKE SO MANY NEW THREADS whew enough caps for me
Sorry >_< I just kept thinking of more variables and questions that I wanted a reply for. Do you perhaps have a link for 2.3.7? Thanks.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253476
Should I download that?
i follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
the european version does not matter we all use it cus it will be changed to something else anyway.
so for now you are 1.6 follow the thread and they will tell you how to get to 2.1(european) then from there a 2.3.7 rom
Wow thanks for the link...but I'm scared of the bold big red warning message. -_- What happens if my phone "bricks" or breaks? Eek...is there a way to restore it in the event that it happens? Or back up?
Yikes, is there a version for mac? I do have a windows, but I'm unsure if that crazy computer will be able to handle it without errors. It's pretty whack.
Also, is that an official version?
No official and don't worry if you brick your phone
if you have warranty ,they change the motherboard

haha man_U i already guided him true the upgrading to safety
I'm hoping there are still a few people around that can help me.
I got the MyTouch 4G shortly after it first came out. I loved that phone, but then after moving to Europe I found myself needing a phone for the service here so I sold mine on Ebay. My parents both got them as well and now that THEY've moved on to other phones, I've inherited them.
My questions...
1. I rooted these phones about 2 years ago, but I have no idea whether they're SIM unlocked. Is there a way that I can find out?
2. If they're not SIM unlocked, is there some way I can reroot them to be?
Thanks, guys.
