T-Mobile G1 SIM Unlock question

Ok, first of all, I searched, read the sticky's and have not been able to find any info on this:
Is there an XDA-Dev/chef/modder/{insert other titles here} that provides Unlocking services?
Yeah, I know I can google all over the place and find services that will unlock my G1, but I had an HTC Fuze (Raphael) and rather than using one of those services, I paid someone here to do it. You guys here offer a lot, I can't afford to donate as much as I want, but the least I can do is when I can pay for a service, is see if someone here can provide it and spend my money with a community that gives me so much as it is.
Thanks!

Theres a guy on the sapphire general thread giving away three codes a week for the sapphire. He may sell it to you. Most of the time I tell people to Ebay it. Have you contacted your provider yet?

No one on here does it, you can go to or call T-Mobile, and they will do it for free. Just explain that you are not a customer and bought your phone third party and they should be able to do it. They are usually pretty quick about it as well.

Funny, I am a T-Mobile customer.... And an AT&T Customer... lol!
Thanks, I know about calling them and getting it, but as my post said, I wanted to give back to someone here since I could with a paid unlock.
Thanks again all and I will just have to spread the joy and hit some Donate buttons!

OFF TOPIC: I worked at the summit a snoqualmie last season! We had a crappy season over up there last year! I moved to Boise this summer and we already 6" on the mountain! THINK SNOW!

I have a donate button, you wanna push it.

Well, just called T-Mobile, they have to request them from HTC and it will be sent, along with instructions, to my email (and also noted in my account).
Can take up to 24 hours, but I am not in that much of a rush, so it's all good.
Thanks all!!!
And I will have to see about your donate button... See if it likes me or not.

i requested it and it came after 1 month, to my email.

Umm... Can a developer come out with Android already plz

I'm willing to give a couple of bucks via paypal...
I've been patiently waiting...

Are you serious? Why would you come to a Windows Phone 7 forum to request Android be ported to this device? What sense does that make when there are variants of 4.3" phones from HTC running android with pretty much the same specs. This is baffling. I hardly write much in these forums but this is just sick.

I'll tell you why. Because T-Mobile use had no other 4.3 phone in there choices. The only reason i got the HD7 was because someone stole my nicely rooted HD2 RUNNING ANDROID. Had the HD7 for almost 2 weeks and guess what its heading back to Tmobile along with a cancellation.

would be nice to have android and wp7 on this device i'm willing to throw some money in the pot anyone else?

First of all, there is no need for any hostility in my thread, I'm not a moderator or anything but i will not tolorate fanboys here. I've been a die hard fan of windows mobile ever since Tmobiles Dash came out.
All i'm saying is that i seen a couple of kids at work playing with droids and it looked cool. This is my baby, I love everything about it. I just want to do my thing

You rock man, Thanks

on the same boat, I'd like android on the HD7 also....... why? just cause i want it

Thanks for supporting and visioning android development for the HD7 with me! Again... It was me who was willing to donate for the cause, In no way am i trying to collect funds for any development. It is MY choice to offer a donation and if you are choosing to go about the same way, then more power to us!
Have we gotten the attention of any developers yet?

maybe a post in the HD2 forums will help kick start development.
dont forget to stress the cash incentive.
i'm sure many will donate for the cause.

Theres a big sticky thread out there saying "Android on HD7, ask your questions here"

Why don't you just trade your phone for an HD2? That phone is exactly the same and you can flash anything on it.

Thread closed for 2 reasons:
1st. It is in Dev section
2nd. Take the time to read "General" forum for Android informations.

S-Off and Unbricking Project

Zarboz said:
Hello dear XDA-Community,
The idea of this thread was to serve as an un bricking thread eventually,
I am looking into a riffbox for jtag service, I am approaching xda to see if any users would be interested in helping me cover the cost of said riffbox
if you were to donate towards the cause in return you would receive free unbrick service and jtag service for all your devices as long as the riffbox supports the CPU architecture
If this is of no interested not a big deal i just thought i would give the community a chance to get involved rather than keeping all the cool toys at my house and not sharing
This thread will be the hub for service requests. If you happen to need unbrick service, you will find this thread and us to help you.
I will post a log of all payments made from that money plus all Items received (e.g. the RIFF Box, the cables, Jigs, etc.)
I will also keep an online "work and ticket tracker" so that you can see live reports /pictures of the status of your repairs
now your like ok i didnt donate to help you buy this thingamabobber now i bricked my phone and i dont wanna pay some dude on ebay 60$ to fix it
cool find me post in the thread if your device is supported we can get it unbricked
Please remember i am one man and do have a child so im not planning to support 43000000x users but i dont think it would be bad to offer service to RC's RD's and senior members of xda for no cost of labor just get the unit here and ill jtag it up
RIFF Box - US $155.00 + Shipping
JIG Connector - negligible i have a variable temp soldering station so i could solder to the board direct at low heat
Updates / Facts / News:
Some things you might see around the thread
Hope this is gonna be very very educational for people too. Unbricking always is some sort of a mystery for many and if you send off your phone to some stranger on ebay, you usually don't get an idea about the "Hands On" and gettin' dirty bit of tearing down a phone and actually make it look nice and work properly again afterwards.
So, maybe we will even have some photos or videos and stuff and just give you an idea of how that all works...
Please ask your questions
and if your located in the USA and close to me for XDA active members I will always do what I can to help out as XDA has always helped me out
I am not trying to sell jtag service at all guys im saying if we can get me a riffbox ill give xda senior members RD's RC's RT's mods and members with over a 300 post count free jtag service

I think this is great and all but I have one question.
How would a single riff box provide all of us with s-off? JTAG is a great skill to have but if there is only one riff box its not going to benefit the rest of the community for s-off. We need a s-off solution that wont require all of us to buy special hardware to achieve it.

I did read your op. And the title says s-off and unbricking project.
so if this for just unbricking or both?
My point is its a little misleading. JTAG is awesome for unbricking but if this is going to be an s-off project also the average user should understand the risks of JTAG for s-off. Like it requires the phone to be taken completely apart and then flashed. And hopefully put back together correctly.
I changed the digitizer on my og evo and swore i'd never try it again. I'm not knocking what your trying to accomplish I just think the rest of the community should be aware of what jtag entails.

......
so if you read the OP you would understand that i am offering free jtagging service to those who donate / users who have a 300+ post count for use once unit is received
if you dont understand what the service is capable of don't knock it
I also don't expect every john and jane doe to send me their phone just to get s-off thats ridiculous and also CLEARLY stated in the op....
it sounds like you read the title skimmed the paragraph and are now asking why i think this is a good idea?
1) To service high end users who want the freedom of their device and don't care about warranty as it is invasive
2) to offer a free alternative for xda users who are paying sites like mobiletechvideos 40-50$ for s-off service
3) to give something back
4) to offer brick repair to a site that has always been there to help me esp to those n00b users who just flash whatever and brick their unit
I also was a cell phone repair tech for 2x years and have quite extensive knowledge in this field
just wanted to share is all

BOOM!!!!

BOUNTY T-800 for eusphoros

Starting a bounty to get a t800 for euphoros so we can get a proper cm port. I'm in with $50....just need $379 total!
We are up to $295!!!! Let's go!!!!

we should aim for the T805 instead, it will cover more users as the T805 works for T800 too.

Its $650 compared to $379..we will be lucky to raise $379 as most people here want everything for nothing. I highly doubt we will raise anywhere near $650

$20 from me.

I have tried to port it to t800 for fun weeks ago but then returned to continue my tw mod since I prefer tw over cm/aosp. I believe some ppl here do have the knowledge to port it to t80x

300 views and only $100, 3 donations. Not looking promising.

I am in with $20 for a T-800 (or a T-805 if enough people donate).
I have much more trust in CM than in Samsung for a long term support of the Tab S 10.5.

25 for sure

Where do I donate to?

Count me in for $50 for either one if we get enough pledges to cover the cost. OP should edit the first post to include a running tally of users and their pledged donation.
I've got the T800 but I agree that the T805 may be the better choice so more people can benefit from the ROM and, in an ideal situation, potentially get more people to chip in.

OK in that case put me down for $50

I am in with 30!
Although I have a 805.. and who would maintain it in the future after porting?

Any updates on this? I'll boost my pledge to $75 if we can get rolling on this.

I think we need to close this thread, we didnt get close, along with 2 other devs are working on this in another thread. Sorry eausphoros....gave it go, but everyone wants roms, but are not willing to pay a lil. Mods, please close this thread.

Porting Sony Xperia z rom

Would any dev be interested in porting over the xperia rom from Sony? I got $100 for a fully ported, and stable xperia rom. Any takers?

I don't think the bounty will help. .if someone wants to do.it, they will. If someone doesn't want to do it, its a lot of work involved for $100..very under paid work.
Nice gesture of you all the same though.

All of this free work being done on XDA, lol. And you think a bounty won't help? You sleep as f.

Well i dont think that 100$ is enough IF you spend lets say- 50+hours on a port. But thats just my opinion.

The work done for free is done by people who enjoy it. They do it because they want to. If someone wants to do it, they will.
If someone doesn't want to do it, a bounty of $100 doesn't come anywhere close to being a big enough incentive for the amount of time and effort it will take.

Mods feel free to close this thread, I've been contacted by an amazing dev to take on this project!
