Hi i was searching all over the site and can't seem to find the instructions on how to unlock the white US dell streak? I don't want to buy the rebel sim or call ATT?
I been following some instructions here and putting Update.pkg in the root of the SIM CARD and it just shows a black screen? What am I doing wrong?
Strange that, I used the search function and the first result that came up had the solution.
Call Dell or ATT, you can't do it yourself.
call at&t tell em u want to use your streak out of the u.s.a. they will email it to you in a cple days that easy! they did my white and black streak
I thought there are other ways that you unlock the streak with downgrading to o2 rom which have the baseband that can be unlocked?
Can anyone shine the light on this? So that way i don't ending up flashing like a mad man,,lol
How many method is there so far to unlock DELL STREAK US?
basebands have nothing to do with unlocking
Can u elaborate on this a bit more please....especially regarding dell streak us
Just call at&t if you are an at&t subscriber and ask for the unlock code just ready you imei number, this is already my 2nd streak, I got the unlock for the first and so with th e 2nd. At&t rep asked me if I am going to.use the streak for other carrier just told no, I just want it unlocked. Gave imei of streak and within minutes I have my unlock code

So did they have to open a case? Or did they gave it to u right away?
So no other way to unlock other than this way

I recommend you read the following article on unlocking the Streak:

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!

Just to clarify, you got AT&T to give you an unlock code for a Rogers locked device?
Took chance to ask att for unlock of my friend's o2 streak and it didn't work. They said, they would love to unlock it, but there is no such imei in their database...

I can get the unlock code cheaper. Just pm me. I just unlocked mine via imei with no problems.

Already tried them and got the refund. I think they are collecting a dollar an attempt though, through some kind of paypal fee.

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.
Cheers,
Pat

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!
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.

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 :-(

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

Anyone look in the nv_ram file? I know the galaxy s phones have the unlock code in plain text. Anyone try that route and see if it were possible?

does the rebel sim work with froyo 2.2? i was reading it wasnt working with 2.2 only 2.1? i mean i guess ill see what happens with att, they said id have the unlock code by new years day so...
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.

I am writing now from the white unlocked streak. same procedure as always except for the fact that the unlock code needs to be issued by dell.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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!
Okay have a dell streak i bought that is locked to att. Ive been looking around and it SEEMS that the only way to unlock is to get unlock code from my carrier or maybe a 3rd party website. Otherwise the rebel II card and other unlocking sim cards. what im wondering is there any way to be able to unlock it without that stuff. I generally root my phones and then unlock them with various different methods i find on xda. Anyone know of a way to unlock this without going and buying anything additional?
Call at&t and tell them you are going out of the country and want to use a sim card from there. they should give you the unlock code.

This is correct. You shouldn't really even have to say you're leaving the country. If you have an account in good standing for more than 90 days, they will give you the unlock code for any phone except the iPhone.
Hey i have the T-Mobile Dell Streak 7. I broke my iphone and now i need to run my ATT card on it. its rooted but when i put my sim card in it ask for a code. how do i go about getting this card???
Thanks in advance
first of all you are in the wrong forums, this is streak 5 thread not streak 7
u need to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=967
secondly, root does not equal unlock, ur streak7 seems to be locked to tmo and u need to get an unlock code either from them or 3rd party source online to be able to use your att sim on it
