Has anyone unlocked a white Streak? - Streak 5 General

Hi all,
I'm starting to get the idea that my Streak cannot be unlocked. Before all of you with the black Streak chime in and say "I called AT&T and they gave me an unlock code", I did the same with two other black streaks.
AT&T are more than willing to give me an unlock code, although no matter how many times a call and ask for it I get the same response. Their system says that there is no unlock code available. I have opened three cases with AT&T and each case has gone past the date I was supposed to hear from them with no call.
I've also spoken to Dell a few times. Every time they say, "you will need to obtain an unlock code from AT&T".
Has anyone out there managed to get their white Streak unlocked?
Thanks,
Krisbo

I am in the same boat as you. I bought my white streak out of contract. A case was opened and I have to send a copy of the receipt tomorrow to get the unlock code. Did you send in a request to the unlock team and tthey never responded?

Yep, no response

When the streak first came out people would get the same response as dell hasn't released the unlock code generator to att.
What I did at this time is to ask the att rep to escalate it and open a case then I just waited and about 2 weeks later I got the email with the unlock code.
For my second streak I got the code right away over the phone.
i guess all you can do is wait till att's code generator app is updated to include the white streak.

Got unlock code!

i just got an email from AH Subsidy Unlock. and its for my streak smile.gif
heres the story. one call to AT&T. explained my situation. no questioned asked. At&t rep took my info (imei, contact, etc) right away to open a request. thats it. less than 2 weeks later, TODAY i got my UNLOCK CODE. woohooooo! and just in time, im going to the philippines tomorrow. i will try the unlock later though cause i dont have an other carrier sim card. will execute later when i go cali and visit my girl (shes t-mobile). will try to make video if im not lazy later. hehe smile.gif soooo happy.

cool beans, just as i stated in another post, call them, be nice, request to open a case and should receive it in your email.
I haven't called in for mine yet cuz i've been really busy with school and work also don't plan to be heading abroad soon, atleast not in the next 2 months.
What was your "situation?"
You Just tell You Need To Travel abroad?
It worked! my streak is now unlocked

Didn't work for me
I called and told them I'm traveling internationally next week (true) and was issued a case number.
Having faxed (seriously, can they not embrace the 21st century and switch to email?) all the relevant info I got an email this morning ... DENIED
Supposedly I have to wait 90 days from the device activation to get a code. So the fact that I've been an AT&T customer for years has no relevance here.
Not happy. Now I've got to see if I can get a Rebel Sim II shipped to me before I leave on Sunday.
I told the lady I spoke to on the phone that I am a flight attendant (true). And that she can verify this from my account (I have airline discount). and I told her I even have that world thing plan. an extra 5.99 a month so I can use roaming with less charges because my line of job requires plenty of traveling. I explained to her that sometimes I have to carry extra phones just so I can use the simcards I bought at a different place like the philippines.
Can't wait to try it out with my Philippine Globe simcard. I made a slight detour to guam to pick up some friends. Leaving tomorrow to the philippines.
Oh I did make a video. It was tight seeing "t-mobile" appear on that blank space (where at&t use to be) above the words "screen locked". The anticipation was crazy (for me at least lol).

are you sending them receipt from Dell or you got your streak from AT&T?
Got it straight from Dell. I think that's why they need a copy of the receipt. If I had bought my Streak from AT&T they would alerady have a record of the purchase, I think... I'll post the outcome and hopefully a video.

i love this phone having had a dozen or so in the last few years. mine is at&t unlocked so im sure the rogers one must be unlockable as well.
I just ordered one from dell after reading what froyo 2.2 can do on the streak which makes the streak a perfect device for me. The only downside is that it's locked to rogers, althought I'm on rogers network but i would love to have the flexibility to use other carriers in the event I am traveling aboard. I read somewhere that unlocking service is available but it's expensive - over $100. I checked with dell before I ordered and they said they don't offer the unlocking code. Now the last resource is going after rogers which I have not done yet, and I probably will do and just have to wait a little bit because it's still new until rogers put up the streak on their website.
I plan on using it on bell and rogers and just switch sim cards. My galaxy s is buggy as hell it will be sent away for 4 or 5 weeks for the second time and rogers doesnt work where I work but it the only other phone out in canada that I'm intrested in. well I don't mined paying 100 dollars to get it unlocked. What unlock site can be trusted.

I ordered one from Dell Canada on November 9 and the scheduled delivery date is this Thursday, November 18. When I read yesterday that unlocked Streaks are coming to the US in a few weeks with Froyo pre-loaded, I called Dell customer service (located in India) and asked to cancel my order. My order was still showing as "Not shipped" as of yesterday. The CSR told me that my order has almost gone through the manufacturing process and it is too late to cancel it now. He said I could refuse to take delivery when Purolator delivers it to me and that my money will be refunded. That's what I plan to do. I don't know if or when Dell Canada will sell the unlocked Streak, so I may have to get it from Dell USA.

I read about the unlocked version will be available soon in the US but I doubted that the unlocked version will be highly for T-Mobile users which is not compatible with rogers / at&t. Dell has exclusive contract with at&t and thus would not sell unlocked version compatible with at&t/rogers.

You brought up a very good point about proven unlocked site. I guess we just have to wait and I'm sure more unlocking service sites will pop up soon and feedbacks from users.
You might be right.

Hey guys, I am also in Canada and ordered a Streak from Rogers. I have used these guys before to unlock all the phone that I have had in the past year or so. "http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all" I have emailed them the IMEI # of the Streak and they said it would be no problem to unlock. They have a great satisfaction clause. Give them a try. BTW Rogers unlock codes are only $20.

Unless things have changed in the last four days since I wrote to those guys, they said they cannot unlock the Dell Streak. It even says so on their website for the Dell Streak. I am not able to post the link, but when you go to the link you provided above, click on Rogers (it is at the top where they show the wireless carriers), then scroll down and click on 'Streak Dell of Rogers'. At the bottom of that page you will see where they say they cannot unlock the Streak. As I mentioned, to cross-check on that, I wrote them four days ago and they wrote back saying "No, sorry", they cannot unlock it.
When will rogers carry them in store i need the phone ASAP and can't get it mailed to me?
hmmm, thats weird. My email was sent today once I got confirmation of my new Streak being shipped. My email also included the IMEI, so maybe they quickly ran it. ????? Since they offer a good refund clause, I will try it when the phone shows up and let everyone know.

Rogers is selling outright for $599 and Dell is selling only $549 ........ Interesting. I bought mine from Dell and it will take weeks to get the phone but I could save $50.
I bought mine from rogers outright to use on fido.I got a rebel sim to unlock it and it worked.
I just went to the Mobileincanada website, put in the IMEI #, click on the button "Check if We can unlock your phone" and it gets back "Yes we can unlock your Dell Streak". At $20, I think this is a good deal ! Maybe I'll unlock it ... but then, I don't have any other Carrier's SIM to test.
If you put your IMEI code and it said it could then go ahead cause when i enter mine it says they can't unlock my streak at the moment. So i'm stuck with the Rebel sim card and there is no way i'm send it through the mail.
Rogers is providing unlock codes now

Unlock Dell Streak - Rogers

I just had a chat with the live help on mobileincanada.com (a site I have used for unlock codes in the past) and they said for $20 they can unlock the Dell Streak. They claim it's just an unlock code and that it does not need to be running any specific version of the OS in order to do so.
Has anyone else tried this? I'm hesitant after reading here about how it cannot be unlocked.
I got an unlock code from AT&T on 1.6 running on Rogers. Updated to 2.2 and did not have to rekey the unlock.
Get that unlock code!

If you bought your dell Streak locked to Rogers direct from Dell I have been told that it may not be unlockable. Rogers and every website I have tried has not worked. I am currently returning mine and going to buy an unlocked one.
Has anyone succesfully unlocked a Rogers Dell Streak? Has anyone tried the RebelSim to see if that might work? Please let me know.
I'm not a Rogers Customer, so if doesn't work, I will have to return the streak to Dell (if possible).
Please let me know guys.

Yes the unlock codes are being released now by Rogers. It's not cheap. $50 for the code (plus tax), but you have to be a Rogers customer to qualify to get the code. That's another $10 (plus tax) to buy the sim card. Once you buy the sim call Rogers and they will hook you up for free and give you a $10 credit. Don't know if that credit can be used towards the unlocking amount. My Streak is a Rogers lock Streak bought directly from Dell.ca.
I use the rebelsim and its quite nice, only issue is, the rebelsim is NOT compatible with 2.2 at the moment. The only way to make it work is to get the rebelsim beta update, and in order to do that, you must purchase the firmware loader in addition to the rebelsim which will cost the same as a rogers unlock code. If you get the rebelsim though, you can load it with any firmware to work on almost any phone in the future.
If anyone can get an unlock code for my rogers dell streak, let me know. my email to my phone is [email protected] . thanks in advance!

I got many big problems with dell streak from Dell, AT&T and BestBuy

i bought a dell streak (full price) from BestBuy usa. Then i returned to VietNam. But i can't use my streak because it requires unlock code. I tried to contact with many code provider, but they said that my unlock code is not found. they asked me to contact with dell to get information.
today i called for dell, at&t and bestbuy. But i were very disappointed. they said that can not to find unlock code for me. i'm look like a unlucky guy. because they got some problems with my dell streak. they request me to give my streak back for them to check in 30 days. you know, i live in vietnam and i can't fly to usa just to give streak back for them. it's not fair because i paid full price for that thing.
Now i got pda streak without phone. I don't know what I have to do with it. I took much time for it, but i got nothing. It's not fair.
There are many websites where you can purchase unlock codes.
Fairly pricey, but a reliable website (or so i've heard) - http://www.unlockallcellular.com/dell-streak-unlock-code-p-62157.html?affiliate_id=1239
I called AT&T and they gave me my unlock code
My Streak is in the same situation. I purchased an used one from ebay, DELL claimed it's beta test one based on the service code that I provided. It works with AT&T sim card, but not T-Mobile, which I am using now. AT&T CR said no unlock code for my IMEI number.
PM me your EMIE # and I'll see if I can get AT&T to provide me the unlock code for your Streak. They are pretty nice to me(could be the business account)
I agree, there are some phones that ATT has on the "no questions asked" SIM unlock, and the streak should be one especially since they don't even carry it. All I did was call 611 (customer support), and said I was going out of the country on business and needed an unlock code so I could use a prepaid SIM card and they gave it to me no questions asked. They do need your IMEI as previously stated, but after that, they should give it up like a cheap prom date!
I'm having the same problem at the moment. I've unlocked 2 black streaks by calling AT&T. But when I called to unlock my white Streak, they told me that their system tells them that there is no unlock code available
I can use it with a Rebelsim though and since Steve has started releasing his froyo builds with the old baseband, there's no real need to unlock at the moment.

unlocking a white streak??

anyone have a reputable site or a way i can unlock this phone? i called dell, they called ATT while i was online with them.. they say they have to open a case to get the code from dell and it will take 7-10days.. one ebay site i emailed said $41 to unlock it and will take up to 5days would love to start using this thing before 7-10 days.. any help would be appreciated
Save yourself the forty bucks and wait an extra five days! Lol.
There's very few sites out there that provide unlock codes for Streaks right now. And the very few that do, charge pretty exorbitant prices.
yeah that sux.. owell hopefully they will get it to me sooner then 7-10days!

Don't hold your breath. I've opened three cases with AT&T and none of them have been fruitful. I've also tried paying unlocking sites although they just refunded my money because they couldn't get a code.
At this stage, the white Streak appears to not be unlockable as there are no reports of ANYONE successfully unlocking one.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Others may chime in with success stories of unlocking the black Streak and tell you unlocking will be simple. All I will say is that I managed to get 2 black Streaks unlocked and was once of the first to get a white version, and I'm still using a rebelsim :-(
Krisbo
This is my first post in the forum. But let me tell you guys, I have a white dell streak unlock from att. This is what I did...call dell and tell them that I bought the streak from best buy and have them call att for a case. Tell dell rep that I will be using the streak over sea, and will be leaving very soon...So dell rep call att and told them to speed up the process and I got it next day

The white one is unlockable. I am using one right now. I boughr from bestbuy for the pull priced. Called AT&T and asked for the unlock code. Was on hold for.about 5 minutes. Told me it wasn't in the system. That a case neeses to be open.and I needed to fax some over the receipt and a cover page to the unlock department. 4 days later I get a email from them with the unlock code. What's weird is that I have had two streaks that I got from dell and AT&T gave me the code on the spot.

well thats whats happening now.. called dell 6 days ago and just got the email last night from at&t saying fax over the receipt and all.. problem is i bought the phone used, so unless i can just make up a receipt i dont see them handing over the code .. ive emailed a few of the ebay unlock guys and all of them said after checking my imei# that there is no code available.. so im kinda stuck at this point!
