Need to Unlock My G1...

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...

Unlocking sgs

Hi guys I have one question that maybe was already asked here,so I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions.. Anyway, I want to give my galaxy s to my brother but we are not using the same network, and my phone is locked to my network. So how safe is phone unlocking ? what is the procedure for unlocking the phone and is it shortening phones' life? Also,my brother will be using it in another country...Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem unlocking a phone.
Just buy an unlock code online. Check eBay first.
After you have the unlock code, give the phone to your brother and when. He inserts his SIM card, he will be asked for an unlock code. Once he enters it, he can use the phone...

Interesting, I thought it was much more complicated than that.. I am in Serbia now using Vip mobile, my brother will use it on Vodaphone Malta, you think that there would be no problems if I buy code from uk ebay? Is it than unlocked for every other network in the Europe? Thanks

Just make sure that your brother's network is compatible. (AKA he uses a SIM card and that the network specs are compatible) and you should be fine...

Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?

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.

Donate extra play to get 4.2 and 3.4 kernel

Does anyone here have an extra play that they could lend to @mikeioannina? He us going to build 4.2 for us and 3.4 kernel but needs a play to do so. He did not ask me to make this thread I just thought there s got to be some people around here with an extra one hanging around (it didn't have to be fully working) that also want 4.2. I only have one or else I'd send mine. But I would love to see 4.2 on our plays and I'm sure many others would as well so if you have an extra please contact him about it

I have my old R800x. Its been untouched since I got my GsM model. Although I am sure hebwould want a GSM model. The bootliader was unlocked via code about two years ago.
Is he in the US?

No he's in Greece but I don't think he cares about what model it is since he's making a version for CDMA and gsm. Maybe he would be willing to pay for shipping if you sent him it? Try pming him and see what he says

Man this is awesome, I'd send mine, but it's the only mobile device I have
Also, I live in Italy, and I can confirm that here in Europe it's really difficult to get this device for € 200 or less
Hope he gets a device to work on, thanks abdel for opening this thread, and thanks ozzimanj for your availability

We have a site in romania, with veeery cheap phones, I found one for 79 euros that is perfect. Maybe we have someone from XDA here in RO that can buy it and send it to him ?
here is the phone : http://www.okazii.ro/telefoane-sony...peria-play-r800i-la-cutie-349-lei--a129871984

[Q] Where to buy N9005 completely unlocked in Las Vegas?

Hi all
I have an upcoming trip to Las Vegas.
Where can I get the LTE MODEL (N9005) completely unlocked including regional unlocked.
Looking for a shop where I can pick it up and check it out before I leave.
I may have a connection in London too.
Any ideas where I can find this device at those two destinations ?
Thanks !

In London Phones4U normally have them in stock Sim-free. Not cheap though - £620. http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?Itemkey=714026 probably cheaper in US, if you can get the 9005 there.
Alternatively, you may find a boxed one on Gumtree in the UK but it'll be a private sale, cash only and riskier.

Just buy a regular sim-free with best price and region unlock it from ebay (easy and guaranteed)

Got my European model direct from amazon.co.uk over Christmas for around £480 I think it was

What do you mean by "region unlock it from ebay" ?
What i constantly see is N9005 mentioned as SIM Free but many are Region locked to EU.
i dont want to patch the device or hack it.
thanks

Just an FYI - the N9005 isn't compatible with US LTE bands (T-Mo *may* work) so you'd only get 3G/H+ only. -- assuming you are US Based obviously.
