Hi all just bought a new Z1 on Virgin/T mobile and asked Virgin for the unlock code which they charge £15:32p for.
My question is they told me it would be sent in the post and I take it is some type of code they send me but how or what is the sequence to enter the code to make my Z1 unlocked to all networks.

All you need to do is insert a working SIM card from another provider, power up the device and follow the instructions. Really easy.

Many thanks for the quick reply and can't understand why they have to send the code via post rather than just telling me over the telephone after my payment was cleared and must only be for security reasons.
Be careful when you enter the code, you only have 3 chances to enter the correct code before the phone becomes permanently locked.

Hi everyone!
It's my first post on this forum.
I've bought a new(even not unboxed) android on Ebay and there is one small problem to start it. Forst i need to unlock it, but for do it I need to start the phone, but the phone is asking me to register or login into google account. i can't register or login, because the internet connection is not avaliable in my country. Can someone please help me with this???
Thank you!
i didnt know that u need to go through the activation process to enter the unlock code, if that's true, your so screwed
Have you put in a sim card yet? any sim card?
If you put in your sim card (non-tmobile) it should ask for unlock code first.

Hi Arthur_rus,
I don't know if you solved the problem you had with your android phone, i think you will find what you want here -
http://www.fixya.com/support/p982210-google_android
They have good Android support, if this doesn't help, try there HTC G1 support, it's free and easy.
Let me know hoe it turned out.
take care.
Hello,
im just wondering if it would be possible to unlock it somehow with software from omnius-server.com
Cos if DL any FW from them and u look into the 100+mb file, u gonna find "simlock.ta" file which could lead into unlock after u use their flashing method. I tried to flash like 5 different FW i tried to file compare "simlock.ta" each was different but still ho success
Any idea?
The X10 cannot be patch unlocked.
It needs the Emma Dongle and CSCA activation to unlock.
And right now there is no free unlock for this phone.

I used mobileincanada.com and it worked perfectly. I am able to use any sim in my handset. tested ith O2.de Vodafone.gr.de.nl wind.gr etc
I was told that if i root the phone and then install busybox and Galaxy_S App that my phone would be unlocked? would this work for att and when i go to brazil?
For a while there was galaxy unlock app that worked for me and others (and not for some). It only required root to use and it would spit out your unlock code.

I've used that app on a friends phone who went out of the country. It couldn't find the unlock code, but I used the second option and it patched a folder. It worked great. Unlocked in seconds. VERY EASY.

Just call T-Mobile and ask for a code?
So what's the way to unlock it? Thanks!

You get an unlock code (from t-mobile or hacked) put a foreign sim card (at&t works) reboot phone. It'll ask for code. You put the code in and it's unlocked.
What is the way hacked? The phone has no service atm
yes it is,just follow the instructions carefully
No you need to unlock it ,If you go Brazil or other country means you need to unlock your samsung Vibrant Phone,After unlock it use with any GSM Network Sim card.I haven't used that Apps Unlocking,You can better get the unlock code from the site
Theunlockarena.com/samsung/rs13wp8/ and unlock SAMSUNG VIBRANT.
Get SGS Unlock from the Market. The free one might work (for me it didn't), but the one that is not free got the job done.

Nope it doesn't but there is a much simpler way and it lets you keep your warranty.
I see you are with Rogers. You can try talking to them sometimes they give you the unlock code for free if you are a good customer.
If that doesn't work you will need to buy the unlock code from somewhere. Here is an example http://www.cellphoneunlock.net/ I believe they are $8
after they email you the code you must enter into your Xperia play. Here is a video of how it is done.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDFfP2Q7YXg
And there you have it a sim-unlocked xperia play with warranty and this unlock will never go away not even if you flash the phone.
Note: If your main reason to sim-unlock is to open the bootloader then I'm sorry this won't be able to do that.
I was able to easily root my Bravo using SuperOneClick. However when I insert a T-Mobile Sim, It is asking me for a "Sim Network unlock PIN". I assumed it is still carrier lock to AT&T. Is there a easy way do a carrier unlock??
I know is rooted. I get the "#" prompt after issuing an su command.
PLease help.
If i have time ill upload my tmobile rom in next couple days
Might work

Yes, it's absolutely free. You only needs register on forum, then press yellow button "Получить Unlock code" on bottom (from left side) any forum topic and enter in open window your phone model, carrier and IMEI.
Thanks, let me try it. I will let you know.

Well I recently sent my IMEI for another but I received nothing, I had to write to some of the moderator so that he sent me the code.
I have unlocked two bravos now, today I received the code for the other bravo I bought!
Easiest way to get your Sim unlock code
Your Sim unlock or subsidy code is made from the IMEI number on your phone. The most relyable codes come from the carrier that the phone belongs to. E.G. I took me 10 mins to get my subsidy code from AT&T, That includes my waiting and hold times. If they won't give it to you just tell them your going overseas for awhile and they'll be more willing to give it to you. If you found this helpful there's a thanks buttion below. Give it a push!
i just got mine unlocked from the russain forum, they work real fast , its awesome
hmmmmmmmmmmm
I tried the russain forum and I couldn't even get past the registration part. The Google Translator just came up with an error after error. I was getting so frustrated I just gave up for now.
To alexey_tolstyh : Did you get my PM I sent you?
My g/f called AT&T today and told them she bought the phone from someone that had an account with AT&T and that she needed an unlock code for it. The Rep. asked her for the IMEI number and then gave her the unlock code after about a minute. The call lasted about 7 minutes. Wow what a surprise.
If anyone needs a bravo unlocked just pm or email me. I have an account on the Russia forum and my google works. [email protected] i'll get you your code as soon as i get it.
