Can anyone help me out? I'm having issues with this. I have the unlock code but, I'm having a hard time getting this phone to work. Theres a few different carries over here but I"m having no luck. Theres LG UPlus and Show. Just wondering if anyone can chime in.
The easiest way I know is to take the phone to one of the KT stores, not the small dealing or licensed stores but the official retail stores, and tell them you want to turn the service on that phone. From there they do almost all of the work for you. It should take about 30 min. You might have to reset settings for MMS and to get 3G but if you ask them, they should set them up for you. Hope this helps.

They don't run in the USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, South America, etc. If you mean are they made to run there? I don't know. But they don't actually run anywhere.

going thru t mobile or what you just did.
If you're not on T-Mo then who are you on? Does anybody but T-Mo use their 3G frequency in the U.S.? If not you'll only be able to get edge speeds
If you're on AT&T, I'd recommend selling the T-Mo dream and picking up a Rogers one, that way you can get 3G.
That is assuming you're not going wifi exclusive.
Anways, easiest way to unlock is to just buy an unlock code from Ebay. They're like $7. Just search for T Mobile HTC Dream unlock code or something and you'll see them. Buy off somebody with a high rating. Should have the phone unlocked within the hour.

i made the same experience
This question has been answerred dozens of times in several different threads in this forum.
Just go through T-Mo they do it for free, explain the situation and they should be able to request the unlock code for you regardless of whether you are using their service or not.

I have an i8000L coming, I guess it is network locked to TIGO, somewhere in South America. Where is everyone else getting theirs and how are they unlocking it? Anything useful would be appreciated. Thanks.
__________________________
Received.
Confirmed: TIGO - Guatemala (i8000L)
WM6.1
PDA: I8000LUBIH5
CSC: I8000LCGUIH2
PHONE: I8000LWMIH2
I have an "L" too. Mine was unlocked by the operator for free.
Nobody else has an i8000L?
I have a i8000L. I got mine from Bell/Aliant in Canada.
One thing to keep in mind is that when flashing a new ROM onto a i8000L... it's recommended by Rodrigofd at Modaco to ONLY flash the PDA section and leave the CSC, eBoot, and Phone parts alone. Flashing the PDA has almost no risk and I have the original ROM posted here (for backup): modaco.com/category/424/i8000-omnia-ii-gsm-rom-discussion/
You can find more info about flashing on that site. Hopefully XDA can catch up soon
Thanks for your response. I have been looking through the Modaco forums and have noticed that Omnia 2 flashing does look quite different than HTC flashing. This is another reason I'm interested about others i8000L devices. Most people it seems have the phone from Bell.
You'll need to flash that eboot to get additional 5mb of ram released by rom JA5.
BTW. i8000L canadian versions can ONLY be unlocked by Bell at the moment.
That is VERY good to know and explains why I see so many BELL versions sitting on ebay unsold.

You can flash the Eboot as well. Actually, I got mine done under JA5's Rom. Using I8000L from Bell and got the 5 extra MB.

Yeah I was lucky and was able to buy an unlocked one from a local shop here.
Well, got my phone. After poking around a bit, I ordered my unlock code. It will supposedly take 5-7 days, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll update you all if it worked or not and by whom.
i8000L Bell unlock service
if you do end up getting your phone unlocked please let me know too. Mine is still Bell branded and locked and nobody can help me in getting it unlocked. Even Bell tech support wasn't sure how they could do it since I don't live in Canada....they said to take it in to a service center. It's a long drive from Florida for me
Gordon
You might be SOL for the time being. Why did you buy a locked Bell phone from canada? Bell support is lying if they say they can't do it. They have the codes on hand but not a lot of staff know about it or know how to look for the codes. They just won't give it out if you're not a customer.
I have also a I8000L from the operator ICE Costa Rica with win 6.1. It seems my phone operator doesnt offer an upgrade to win 6.5.

if anyone finds how to unlock the omnia 2 from bell, please let me know. I really want to buy it and use on rogers...
I should have a response this week from the website I ordered my code from.
Well, I gave it the old college try. I was sent a refund by the website, mobileunlocked.com.
Well, moving on..... I guess I should have just bought an unlocked O2.
ahhhh, that blows was hoping they send you the code and everything worked good, so i can go get my omnia 2 and unlock it also
only way i know is if you are a bell owner is to call up bell. They will charge you 75 dollars but they will unlock the phone.
Also i have read they only do it if you are a bell customer

I've exhausted my research capabilities, including going to some 'less-desireable' websites known for their subversive abilities. I downloaded software capable of unlocking phones (probably 5 or 6 different ones), plus ADK Software to see if could could root through the sys files of the phone as if I was in regedit of my PC. Nothing, nada, zip, nathan, zero. I am going to give it to my friend with a VZW account and let them hook it up to her account. Then she can get the sim unlock from VZW and give the DP back to me.
I emailed these guys on ebay and other sites selling unlock codes for the DP but they can't gaurantee anything and no refund without video proof of their code not working. Too much of a hassle. I also found some codes (96853318 or 21289318) that they sold to someone, but they didn't work for me. Maybe they will for you.
I bought a T-Mobile Sim and a AT&T sim because they both operate on different frequencies and I want to make sure I have 3G if I use this phone at all. Tonight, I am going to root/rom my new AT&T Fusion with CM7.2 and use this until I get the DP back from my friend.
Other than that, I am going to apply for a NYS Pistol Permit. Just in case this DP cant be used as a phone, I can use it for target practice. Lmao.
Any luck on your end - please let me know. I have 2 DP's so if you figure something out, I still have another to play with.

Verizon has unlock codes for these devices that were manufactured in a certain time period that are not available on the Motorola server. That is why some are working and some are not. The unlockers all retrieve there codes from the same database so you will get the same results from any company our there,.
There allegedly is a person in China who figured out how to unlock these units at a certain point last year but the source and method was never revealed. Being that these units have dropped so much in price and availability they may not want to devote there time by sharing there solution with us although i'm sure a lot of us will make it worth there while..
The Atrix had a similar issue which was solved by flashing the radio a few times. I was hoping that there would have been a way to have this done on the D2G or DP as well.
The D2G and DP will both work on AT&T's 3G network while operating on EDGE 2G for TMO.
I like the old fashion method of placing the unit under my rear tire and putting the car in reverse. It's more cost effective and will save you bullets!
Contact me - I'll try to unlock it remotely.

I`m have two XT610, but unlock code from ebay - Not Accepted. Who can help - unlock this device remotely ???
And - how many cost ?
Here is my situation:
I posess some gift vouchers for amazon.com, and there isn't to much stuff i'd like to buy other than some fancy new android.
Now, from what i suspect, it's not that easy - i am affraid that my location could be a problem (i live in Poland, Europe)
as i heard about new Samsung ideas regarding regional locks. There are plenty of "international/unlocked" handsets
on amazon.com, but it doesn't entirely makes me feel safe, so i come here to ask you for hints, or maybe a straight answer:
will US SGS4 work in Europe? What shoud i pay attention to when i pick the one to buy? Are all those Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile
out of a question? - (are they sim locked?), etc...
Thanks for you guidance.

If no - flash european modem to it and you will be 100% sure about it. And nobody knows that you even flashed something...

The US-Versions use different LTE-Bands then there are in europe this will probably be the only problem that could appear. Not quiet sure about the SIM-Lock.
Anyone else out there unfortunate enough to be on US Cellular? Yes, I pre-ordered assuming that it would work on US Cellular, and I've seen a couple of articles mentioning that it will work, but haven't seen any hard evidence that it's supported. If it has the bands to support it... it'll work, right? They'll be able to activate it?
Has anyone else pre-ordered that's on US Cellular?
I feel so alone
If US cellular can give you a nano SIM it should work in theory.
Why not just call them and find out? That's the obvious answer.
it has the required bands no doubt. I went into a US Cellular store though and they said even though it is unlocked they may not be able to activate it or give you a sim if the IME isn't in their database. In other words, they are trying to say if they don't directly sell the phone themselves they probably won't care about making it work for you. For this reason I am holding off myself and waiting to see how it shakes out - I'll let someone else be the guinea pig on US Cellular. They do offer Nexus 6, so I am hopeful.
i went in again to a store again tonight (franchise, not corporate) and asked about getting this device to work. they said not unless they decide to sell it. Contacting corporate now...
Can you switch to a different carrier?

In this case the Nexus was to be my work phone, which is not switchable to another carrier since that what the company uses.
About a month ago my old work phone (Note 4) flew off my motorcycle while on the freeway. Come to find out employer had no insurance on it. Was not thrilled to find that out after the fact.
So been without work phone since, and my contract isn't up until next Oct.
My personal is my Note 5 on Sprint. I tried to get US cell to try and make my sprint Note 3 work, but they will not take ANYTHING from another carrier except Verizon Iphones.

Interesting you say this. I chatted with Google Support and they claim that it will, in fact, work on the US Cellular network.
Oh its not a technical issue at all. Its political. US cellular wont put the device in their database of IMEs and thus wont provison a sim card. They want you to get a device from them so its locked to them. Its totally able to be used technically, its just bad policy. If you see anything official stating otherwise from US cellular id be ever so interested in seeing it.
Get a new carrier.
No but really, that is really unfortunate. Sounds like something Verizon would do, lol.
Maybe just figure out which phones they have are similar in bands and features. Say you have that one. It should just work.
USCC will activate it. Many of us have already ordered them and USCC reps have said that once it is in our hands they will activate it without issue.
Tried and wouldn't work
Do you have a number of someone I can contact? I tried today and they said I couldn't activate it...
Call them and tell them it's a 5X. Give them your MEID and stuff and you're good to go. They'll activate it as a 5X.
There are a few of us that already activated on USC. As stated before when you call tell them its the 5X and they will activate.

Yep, I did this on VZW when I 1st got the Nexus 6 of last year, before Verizon sold it. I popped in the sim for the Nexus 6 and it worked right away. As long as you have a sim card that fits, you don't even need to tell them what you have. In this case, like mentioned, tell them that you have a Nexus 5x and they will send you a sim!!!!!
