hey everyone, i feel like a noob asking this, but I have been away from the G1 for a while. I got an offer on it now and they need it to work on AT&T. I have cm5 on there now. how can i test if its unlocked for use on att and if its not, how can i unlock it.
TIA
Stick a non-Tmobile sim card in it. If it works it is unlocked. If not, call Tmobile and ask for an unlock code.
haha is that really the only way to test?

Hey all. I just purchased a Rogers Dream off eBay to replace my ADP1 (no AT&T 3G). I am just wondering about unlocking it. Will any of the current G1 unlocks for T-Mo G1's work on it or is there a specific one for Rogers?
If you are talking about a service that you get your imei to and they give you the unlock than yes since the imei is what the unlock is based off of. Or you can just try to get roger's # and give them a try to see if they will be nice
Rogers? Nice? HAH! Hell freezing over and having the next all star game is more likely unfortunately. Your going to have to get an IMEI based unlock solution.
Haha thanks guys!
And btw I completely meant an IMEI solution the whole time. I was just making sure that they didn't use different unlock code algorithms.
hey guys im thinking of getting the play from a place called rogers its a Canadian company they suck and overcharge so im gonna get it off contract anyway i hear they keep the phone locked to the rogers network by unlocking the bootloader and getting it rooted will that allow any sim to work on it?
thanks in advice
In short no.
But I have better new for you.
You can get any sim to work on the phone and keep your warranty.
You have to buy a code there are many places you can get them from here is an example.
The plus for this is that the phone is unlocked no matter what you do to it and you keep your warranty.
Also the Rogers xperia play does not have the ability to unlock the bootloader yet. Even with an unlocked bootloader you probably wouldn't be able to sim unlock it.
hey thanks for the quick reply i just have one question for ya do u know about this site w*ww.cellunlocker.ne*t they do it cheaper but they look somewhat fake and for the play they make you download an app to unlock it that sound fake to you? sorry im new with the android / sim unlocking world old phone was cdma
I'm wondering if anyone on here has "unlocked" their phones for GSM use. I tried an ATT prepaid SIM, and it said I had to enter the SIM pin, and I had 100 tries. I didn't know what this was, so I gave up.
Anyone call Verizon to "unlock" their Trophy? I want to pull an I'm going overseas excuse (actually I am going overseas - but not till September) and ask them if they can unlock my phone.
I don't mean unlocking in terms of unlocking it for developer use!
Thanks!
Yes, I did it about a week after it was released...

I hear now they have it all sorted out and have the codes readily available. It was really simple.

Cool, so I was on the right track. I figured I'd just need to call VZW..
Thanks!
Sorry If I come across as a newbie here, just looking for some help
I had to switch providers, so I paid off the contract on my USC S5, and got a new S5 from Verizon (Don't ask why lol, long story.)
I have a friend who I really want to give this USC phone to, but they are also on Verizon. I need to get her on this phone with her current plan preferably with the SIM she already has I really do hope this is possible, she could really use it.
I need to know how to go about getting it on her network. Do I need to Factory Unlock?
If so, How?
(I don't even know if it is locked)
Phone in question is currently rooted and running Cyanogen Mod 12.
SM-G900R4
16GB
Really do appreciate any input on this. Thank you
I have the Tmo version of the 6T. I was able to flash the phone with the the GSM version (international conversion) and unlock the bootloader and root. I am switching to VZW and I put in the VZW sim and it came up with carrier locked message. Since the phone doesnt have any TMO software on the phone anymore, I thought it would be carrier unlocked as well. Phone is still on EIP jump plan. Any ideas around this without paying the phone off? Sorry for the newbie question.

There are 102 pages of posts. Nothing answering my question on the first page. Simple question. Anyway to sim unlock a phone that was already converted? Or do I have to use a service or have TMO do it?
