is there a sim unlock for mt4g on gingerbread yet? i've read about gfree unlock but that requires you to downgrade to froyo and i don't feel like going into that trouble. My phone is currently forever rooted running CM7. thanks

yeah just make sure you don't have ANY overdue bills, or else you' wait 3-7 days just to get an email that says you were denied of the unlock code. This happened to me.
No, and most likely there won't ever be.

I'm assuming that people don't understand where they enter their unlock code. If this is anything like the other Android devices I've owned, then they have to stick in a sim card that doesn't belong to the carrier it's locked to. After you do that, it will ask you for the code to enter in.

When you get the unlock code from tmobile it does come with instructions.

Well obviously some of the phones that where unlocked do not register to the cell network anymore. They can not even scan for networks.
So if you want to provide some help here then please:
Tell us how the unlock process worked. Especially did you phone reboot after you entered the code. How long did the reboot take, ...
If you can an want please provide a logcat of the radio from the moment of boot until the data connection is established.
Thanks
I got my unlock code emailed to me, but I'm going to get a new phone at Costco today. The deal is just too good to pass up vs. from the T-mobile store.
After I get the new phone I'll unlock it!
Did they get their codes from tmobile or another source? Even in the instructions it said it was gonna reboot. Mine did after I typed it in then the reboot was as long as a normal reboot. And that's it

i have unlocked allot of blackberrys and it usually only cost me 9 bucks, i cant believe it costs 45 bucks to unlock ther g2 so i can use it on att.
or am i missing something?
I have heard that if you call your carrier and ask for the unlock code they are legally obliged to give it to you. Now whether or not they will or this is true I don't know. I will try it some time myself I think

That is generally true, but there are various loopholes to that. For one, you need to be a current account holder at T-Mobile for them to give you the SIM unlock code. If this is not true for the OP, they don't need to supply it. If they are still a T-Mobile customer, it should be as easy as calling and asking for it. If they ask why, just tell them you are traveling abroad and want to use a foreign SIM. However, I also found the following tidbit on the Vision Wiki:
NOTE: T-Mobile does offer an unlock code to its loyal customers who are traveling overseas. You can call them and request it. However, as the XDA-forums can attest, some people have had difficulty with their codes, causing the phone to be unable to establish a connection to ANY network.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#One_at_a_time._What_is_Subsidy_Unlock_and_why_do_I_want_it.3F
The other free option is just root the phone and unlock the SIM yourself. See the following guide. Subsidy unlock is what you want, but you need to root first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
As far as the paid unlock option, there are numerous vendors of unlock codes on eBay that charge around $10-20. I haven't used one personally, but others on XDA have used them, and they work. Pick one that has a good seller rating.
I always call T-Mobile Customer Service and tell them am traveling overseas and they always give me that unlock codes.

The gfree/rage rooting method automatically SIM-Unlocks the G2/DZ. No need to pay for some code or beg the carrier. If a novice like me can do it, anyone can!
I found the Gfree method extremely easy to really unlock your phone! Forget paying more money!!

Some people are averse to rooting, as its been linked to infertility, balding, and thermonuclear war.
Which would explain why I'm bald and infertile

Ok so here's the deal. I know after root, unlocking the mt4g is simple. The root method i use always unlocks the phone.
But the thing is my friend wich bought a mytouch 4g locked lives in another country and is without root, and she's illiterate when it comes to windows and commands so having her root it is out of the question...
Is there any way to have it unlocked, or find out the unlock code without having to be rooted?
Any help would be much appreciated.

just remote access her computer and do it for her. or call t-mobile give them the IMEI number and they'll send you the code.
Yea, you can use an app like TeamViewer or such and root it from your pc.

I think I read somewhere that t-mobile will make you keep the phone on their service for at least one billing cycle before they unlock it.
You'd better just call them and ask, the store clerks will give you an answer, or 3 answers, probably all wrong.
Please update the thread when you know for sure.

That looks to work if you don't need a true unlock where you can use any sim without restricts. I had great results with cellunlocker.net. It's $25 but you never have to worry about it again.

Cellunlocker.net I've had great experiences with. Just did a ZTE ZMax Pro from metopcs yesterday that has the app unlock. It took about 30 minutes.
You might can find some cheaper ones if you have eBay just search for T-Mobile app unlock but usually those are slower.

You would need to ask T-Mobile or pay for an app unlock usually $20-$40 and only if the phone has a clean IMEI.

It may not work if it's been rooted etc what error do you get? Also T-Mobile has to do something on there side before the app will actually unlock the device.

Yeah the app would give an error if you couldn't unlock. Only way may be need to relock boot loader if that's possible? I'm not sure don't own the V20. But the unlock app is the only way

Just really afraid to going back to stock. You never know if can root it again. Is it right?
indeed if your bootloader is unlocked, that ****ty app will not unlock your sim. I found this out when I re-locked my bootloader and the app worked. but by then I already had T-Mobile unlock my sim manually, which took a lot of calls and effort. any way unlocked i the bootloader again and the app just kept spinning.

Is the unlock service down still for T-Mobile, I have a LG V20 I need unlocked. I just bought it & when I tried to unlock it using the app it fails, says phone not eligible. I checked the IMEI at T-Mobile web site& it comes up outstanding balance due on phone. But yesterday I recieved text messages from T-Mobile confirming the guy who sold me the phone made a payment plan agreement, something like 3 installment to get acct upto date, but tried unlocking after I recieved notice of payment arrangements, & still no good on unlocking with app. I'm hoping I can get it done paying a service, since I'm planning on using out of USA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The unlock service was never down. The phone/past due account has to be fully paid off before T-Mobile will unlock the device.

Oh ok, but there isn't anyone that offers a paid service to unlock? If not then I'm going to have to wait for all the guy's payments to clear before I can unlock it?
