Hi I recently unlocked my G1 with a code, I had service. after I had to activate the phone but my sim card wasn't provisionned for data.so I turned off.Now when I put sim card the phone don't see any network,it don't ask me unlock code.I have no ideas please help me.
do you have tmobile sim? you shouldn't need a code.. but if you dont have a data plan it shouldn't matter anyway bcuz you cant do anything with the sim... basically can only use wifi and if your device is rooted you dont need a sim, sorry if i mis understood the question
Once you unlock your G1 from T-Mobile, it stay unlock. You can use any SIM from any network, but you might have to setup the APN for your vendor. (IE: AT&T, Sprint, etc...)
As stated by ldrifta if you don't have data service from your vendor, you can only get internet (online) using wifi.
So, in order for you to get provision you will have to get with your vendor to pay for the service.
I have good apn settings for my vendor mcc,mnc,apn and so but I still don't have service. I'm anxious for that, or I need to activate first using wifi before having service?
Since you have already unlock your G1, my suggestion is to get the data service. So you can start using it.
I tried a friend sim card provided with data service but it sill don't see any network,no service.Do you have any idea about it.Thanks
Go to Setting >> Wireless & Network >> Mobile Networks >> Network Operators
And select your vendor network you supposed to be on. That should registered your phone on your vendor network.
ok I will try

I have searched and read the wiki but I couldn't find an answer which I'm sure has been asked before:
If I get an unlocked G1, do I need a T Mobile (UK) sim? I appreciate sim unlocking it means it should accept any sim but are there any features that only require the T Mobile network connection. I presume it won't update any more if I leave it on Vodafone for example?

No, you don't.
Any SIM with data plan will work just fine, only you'll need to add APN manually and you will not be able to use OTA updates.
I've bought about week ago G1 in sealed T-Mobile box, but it was unlocked and i put my O2 SIM and during activation entered data for O2 APN and got i work without any problems.
Actually you will still get the OTA updates even if you arent on tmobile. Google sends out the updates so all you need is some form of data connection, wifi or via your provider.
Can somebody help me out
i have a mytouch 3g but dont have any data plan
how do i register it without a data plan
help! I know how to do it w/o a data plan on g1
but not this one
I don't know of any way to register without a data plan, but you can pay for just 1 day of the data plan. Sign up for the data plan, register, and then send an email to [email protected] saying you don't need the data plan any longer. They will remove it no questions asked by email.
enable wlan?!
btw, there is no need to register with google if you dont have a data plan.
this feature just enables online content.
how do i ENABLE WLAN
Can't you register through a wifi network?
It is what I did on my Vodafone Magic. Hope it helps.
my magic asked me when i started for the first time whether i want to enable wifi.
afterwards it asked for reg.
mytouch actually requires you to have a data plan to register or login to gmail account before you can use access anything. I see no one is able to bypass the register/login screen on the mytouch 3g.
Ask someone for their SIM card who already has the data plan, put it in your phone and activate it with a new gmail account or sign in if you already have a gmail. Then put your SIM card into the phone and you will have access to the phone. Hope that helps.
i got an unlocked mytouch that was factory reset...when i boot it with a sim that has a data plan and set the apn for my country (i live in Caribbean) i get a little "E" icon on which i think is the Edge or GPRS symbol , but the sign in fail...saying that the 'its unable to connect to google servers" yes the setting are correct and the sim has the data plan cause it works with other phone where i live
also... from what i read there is now way to bypass the activation screen using wifi like you can do with the G1? is that true or am i looking in the wrong places
Help...frustrated....

Im having the same problem...im on at&t wireless without a data plan and cannot get pass the login/activation screen...this sucks I can't even make a simple phone call...
I've got the same problem, anybody figure it out?
go to a T-Mobile store. Ask if you can borrow the sim from one of their demo phones for a minute. once registered you can use it all you like.
If I already have a sim with an iphone data plan on it shouldn't the connection work to register?
So it has to be a T-mob data plan to register the phone and get past the activation? I would like to know as I had to master reset mine and I live in Trinidad and Tobago. Thank you.
First of all, you need tmobile data plan if it is a mytouch 3g because the APN settings are factory set to tmobile APN. You can't change those until you have signed into google and have access to settings and other features.
If you are a tmobile customer, then just log in to tmobile.com and sign up for data plan. it'll take anywhere from 30 mins to a few hours to get data plan. sign on to google and then cancel the data plan.
If you are NOT a tmobile customer then find someone who is a tmobile customer with a data plan or go to one of those tmobile stores at the mall and politely ask them to use their sim to register your phone. Or find a friend. I don't know if there is any way around it.
Finally, ROOT your phone so you don't have to worry about this crap!
Just a note of caution. If your phone has donut on it then you will have to downgrade to cupcake before you can root and that will require you to login to google one more time, so don't cancel the data plan until you do this if you intend on rooting your phone.
OK, so as I mentioned before I am from Trinidad and Tobago so the option of "going to a T-moble store" or "borrowing a friend's sim" is out of the question. Even if I do get it to the US it would be to get it registered and after I root I would be back to square one.
Another thing I saw mentioned in your post was that the APN is set to Tmobile but in my APN entries there aren't any. Does this affect any thing?

It's easy! Just skip the whole registration process and from there you will go to the home screen. From there, you can setup your wifi and then register your device! At least this is for the Google phones.
MT3G does not allow you to skip the registraiton process.
try getting a bmobile sim card with a data plan or a data sim as wee call it in trinidad and use that to register the phone, bmobiles APN settings are simple, just type in Internet as the APN and leave everything else blank, that should work...

Do you have a working SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobile in the SIM slot?

Call VZW and ask.
On ebay it's a ton of services about whitestone unlock, and my problem was an issue on the operating band of GSM for example in the USA you must use 950/1900 on other countries like Costa Rica you need 1800, thanks to all for your help
You should be able to contact VZW and have them unlock it so you can use whatever carrier SIM you have for the country/area you are in. The stock SIM is Vodaphone and I think will only work where Vodaphone service exists. Otherwise make sure the phone is in Global and not CDMA only. Go to the Settings Tab, click Menu then select Phone Network Mode select Network tab.
I called verizon and they gave me codes to unlock both my phones. I slapped an ATT sim into my imagio and it was working on the ATT network, no problem at all.
Hi, where do you enter the sim unlock code on Imagio?
Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Verizon in regard to this.
Below is what I found. The Global Verizon Rep will be happier if you enter the code while you are on the phone with them; they want to verify that it works. It actually took about 10 minutes.
Here is what I found: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/htc-imagio/138569-how-unlock-verizon-imagio-sim-card.html
If you are going to be traveling abroad or simply want your Imagio to be unlocked its very easy to do and should only take about 3-5 minutes on the phone with Verizon.
Call 1(800)-711-8300 from a different phone, enter your Verizon phone number, then select option 2.
Tell them that you will be traveling abroad and plan to just buy a pre-paid SIM card when you get there, and that you simply need the unlock code for your phone. They will check your account standings, and then give you an 8 digit code.
You need to enter the code in the security section of your phone.
With TF3D...
Start>Settings> All Settings> Personal> Security
Without TF3D Enabled...
Start> Settings> Personal> Security
One you do this, soft reset your phone and you are all done. I can take my work phones SIM card (AT&T), put it in my Imagio, and use my Imagio for work now. I did not test the data yet because I do not have data on my AT&T plan. Although if anyone does this and wants to check it, keep in mind you will have to change the number for the data line. both Sprint and Verizon use #777. I am not sure what AT&T or TMobile use.
I have an Imagio from VERIZON.
I had unlocked the GSM network, Should I Unlock the CDMA network as well if I want to use the CDMA Net work?
or I jus need 1 unlock code for both GSM and CDMA?
So, I will have 2 no. in 1 phone one is injected, and another one is using sim card.
So i am currently in the uk (northern ireland to be exact) when i try to select a network (O2, Vodafone, tmobile) it wont register, it sees the network but it wont connect to it. Besically i am using the tab with my tmobile sim not a local sim, and the tab is still network locked to tmobile. Any ideas on how i can get it to register to a local network? I am not looking to unlock the tab (not right now at least) and run it with a local sim just trying to connect to a network just in case i need to make a call.

Do you have "WorldClass International Roaming" enabled on your plan?
Regards,
Dave
Well i am not sure,i actually checked my account and all i see is somethibg called world class international service, my wife has this option on her line but her phones does not connect either so i not sure thats not the only thing that needs to be activated. There is no way for me to select that service on my line. I also have an old phone wich was unlocked and using a prepaid sim card and it does not connect either. Could it be the sim that is not allowing to connect?

You can add that above mentioned roaming service for the time you are away. I think you can do it through the att.com website. But get ready for a shock - it's a buttload of cash for data and cell.
You're at a pc, right? If it's windows 7 and you have your cable, why not unlock it and buy a local sim? That's my solution when I'm out of the US.
As metioned on my previous post my wife has that service on her line and she still cant get it to register on the local network. Might be the sim we have,tmo, its not letting us connect. Ill have to call them when i get back to the us and find out why. I am waiting to contact tmo to get my unlock code for the tab, i am not confortable using adb.

You can follow the cut-paste steps from Roto to unlock tab without adb. Just get a terminal emulator from the market, and open it, then do the copy-paste in the emulator. It's cool!
Did you check your network settings to enable roaming?
I have also noticed that the GPS was not working either, I was driving and had GPS test running for over 5minutes and it never locked the most I got was 4 satellites but didn't lock on any of them. Mind you I was driving out in the country and clear skies no idea why GPS would not lock in northern Ireland.

When I can't get a lock, like right after flashing a new rom/kernal, I go into recovery (power +volume up), and clear the cache partition (don't factory reset!), then I use a market app called Here I Am 2 to get the first position lock in a new region or country.

Ok it seem to have worked by doing what u suggested but how can i make sure it is unlocked since i dont have a non tmo sim?
I did have roaming enabled and still nothing, i will call tmo to ask and see what they say.
Sent from HAL 9000
The only way to know if you are unlocked is by using another carrier's sim. Just borrow one from a friendly local, or buy a prepaid sim to use for local calls.

Guess ill have to stop by an att store but with att buying tmob it will not matter soon.

So i seemed to have unlocked the tab using rotos method, i went out and got a att sim to try and see if it actually worked but i can not get the tab to run on the att sim. I did use the sim to unlock my tmo vibrant and it worked with no issues, so what am i doing wrong? Do i need a new modem for the sim to work? I also tried using the apn settings from the vibrant running the att sim and nothing, tried apn settings from google and nothing, what gives? Any advise? Thanks.

I unlocked successfuly my tmobile g1 coming from usa, but now I have no signal and unable to register on network.when I go in settings,wireless control,,mobile networks.when i ask for available networks i have this error message:"error while searching for networks".even when i choose select automatically i have this:"your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".we have GSM, GPRS, and EDGE in my country.Do you have any idea?thanks!
It's your SIM card being locked to a specific network. You might have to contact your vendor.
I don't understand,my sim card locked?I don't have pin code.you are talking about my foreign sim card(non tmobile?)could you explain more?
I don't know why either. I just know that is what happens. I had the same problem with my SIM too when I went on vacation. But I didn't bother trying to fix it. Since I brought the local SIM to use because I didn't want to pay the international rates.
