Any way to unlock Tmobile G1? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend of mine giveme as an present one HTC G1, but is locked and i live in Brazil. I cant find anyone here do unlock the phone and I don't have an cfedit card (so I can't buy the code online).
There is an imei unlock code generator or something like that to this mobile? any other way to unlock it?
I'm getting crasy to use this "new" mobile (im using an V3 at this moment )
Thx for your help!

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, and my sister has a USA T-mobile HTC G1. I looked at her phone today to see which Android version she has and it's still 1.6. Auto check for updates says she is current. Any ideas?

Take a look at this threads:

I have a friend who's G1 needs unlocking, Could you tell me which service you used, Either here via PM or email me

You should be able to call HTC directly and get an unlock code from them. When I used to work for T-Mobile, if someone called in who wasn't a customer (and therefore couldn't get a code from us) we would refer them to the manufacturer.

Is this some kind of joke? Suggests I pay US $58 to unlock my UK T-Mobile G1.
Off to Ebay I go

Are you referring to unlocking the carrier, or gaining root access to the phone? If root is what you're going for, check out tutuhoer's link.

However, if you're trying to unlock your carrier (meaning use it with a company other than t-mob) you have to be sure that it is a company that has GSM networks (I know here in the US you can't cross t-mob or at&t with sprint or verizon no matter what codes you have, it's actual phone hardware to my knowledge), but I would recommend contacting HTC, as per my research they have a database of unlocks and can give them out. Also per my research, entering your IMEI anywhere online isn't the smartest thing to do. So, my $.02... get in touch with HTC directly. Worst comes to worst they say no.

I think that that's considered to be the most updated version that t-mobile will give out. From my experience you will have to root and flash if you want the cool new stuff.

In italy i will use h3g or Vodafone sim
Gsm but on 3g .
I can whit them?
Thanks very much for everything ....
in my language GRazie Assaje

once phone is unlocked it is unlocked for good. after you upgrade it and change software that wont matter your phone is still unlocked. so unlock it first (buy a code from ebay or whatever) then come back to xda and search the threads for how to root, upgrade, etc. if you find yourself lost then feel free to ask.

I think htc (not tmobile) has a center in italy...?
If you unlock it its unlocked forever
I unlocked my rogers dream and am still using it on tmobile after transplanting motherboards, switching radios/spls, roms, wiping and everything
I don't know if 3g will work, because those carriers /may/ not use the same band for 3g
Like right now I can only use 2g since rogers has different 3g than tmobile
Ill try to get to a computer to make a tutorial for you
First get into bootloader by turning on the phone while holding the camera button
Then tell me what it says
I'm looking specificaly for the spl/hboot and the radio

And oy, but I'm very busy. I don't know if I can write that tutorial right now.
Can someone else help him?
If anything read this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting
Be very careful if you decide to follow it.
Before flashing DangerSPL MAKE SURE you have the right radio. Or else you will break it.

Are you still in touch with the friend that gave you the phone? I'm asking because he should be able to get the unlock code from Tmobile free of charge, he just has to ask for it. I had to unlock my G1 and G2 for use in European with EU sIM cards and each time I asked Tmobile gave me the codes to unlock the phones, no charge, no hassles.
As for ROMs I recently installed SuperCSDLvr on my G1 and speed is impressive, had no idea the G1 could move so quickly, it's awesome. If you Google it you'll find a lot of reviews and videos to help you make your decision. I was going to post a link to the TOM download but I can't because I haven't posted enough to prove I'm not a spammer however I'm. happy to email or message it to you.
I hope this helps.

[Q] Help me pls ! can't find code...

Hi Ya
Pls help me looking everywhere desperately for an unlock code for my G1
My uncle bought me a G1 in England and i live in Greece..... So i really need an unlock code....
If someone could help me giving me my unlock code i would be very very happy.
BTW i will PM my IMEI to the one who can find it for me...
Or if nobody can find anything can someone tell me when the will be a program coming out to unlock the G1 like they did for the Iphone ....
Hello there,
This isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but you'd need to get back in contact with T-Mobile UK. As they will be the only ones that hold the unlocking code for you. Root'ing will not be able to unlock you're phone so there is no program for this. Not to sure how much unlocking codes cost from t-mobile, there is no information on the website. You could try and call +44 79539 66 150 which is the roaming number (it'll put you to the front of the queue and you can ask an agent there)
Hope this helps!
Hi again
Thanx a lot for trying to help me. I will phone them monday at 12 o'clock (greek time) ....

Any ideas what i should say ???
I phoned T-mobile US and they say with out a T-mobile account number i can't do anything... Is that true ???
I really want to try my G1
T-mobile is not necessary, it's just the free way if you are already with t-mobile. There are several 3rd party websites which can aquire an unlock code for you. Most guarentee you a code almost instantly, my understanding is htc charges them $10 and they in turn charge you $20, thereby earning $10 for a simple email/money transfer to htc. Afaik some company needs to contact htc for you, I don't think you can deal directly with htc tho that would be nice. Unfortunately I can't really recommend anyone to go thru as I've done all my unlocking thru t-mobile.
Edit: also if you know someone with t-mobile every 90 days t-mobile will unlock a phone for them. The phone doesn't have to be registered to their account just tied to t-mobile. As a matter of fact to actually unlock the dream you must put in a non-tmo sim. Your 'friend' may need to tell t-mo they intend to leave the country or something, your friend may also require a few bux for the trouble lol
Yeah usually just stating that you plan to use the mobile abroad is sufficient enough for them to hand over the code. If not then keep pressing for it and hopefully they will get a manager or someone higher to deal with the issue. The joys of support
I know in the UK certain vendors (Vodafone) offer all of their phones unlocked to begin with but I don't know what it's like in the states.
Hi guys
This morning i phoned T-mobile uk with NPerry number. LOL it was funny i waited like 10 min. Then someone finally answered but he couldn't hear what i was saying (i was on skype) so i lost 2 euros calling and i didn't have what i wanted....
So i decided to buy an unlock code. So pls tell me which site is the best and most secure ???? www.htccode.com ? (looks like it doesn't word anymore it says "This Account Has Been Suspended" ow well) what else http://www.modmygphone.com/ ???
pls anwer
And BTW thanx for the others that answered me before

No, there is no solution available at the moment. A couple of people have been able to persuade ATT to give them codes after many days of phone calls and support chat. A few have had some varying success with turbo sims that supposedly fool the phone into thinking the sim is an ATT sim, but that's it.
based on what I have read online. ATT often will unlock your phone when you are in the contract for like 6 months or a year.
I called them with my tilt 2 about a year into my contract. Tell them that I am traveling oversea and want to use the phone internationally. They gave me the code without much hassle.
Not sure if this is partially due to the fact I have been with ATT for years.
Online search also shows that ATT will often unlock almost all smartphoen for you except iPhone, so keep try them and if the CSR does not help, ask for supervisor.

The official requirements are:
1. at least 90 days into a contract
2. Have a post paid account with contract
3. Paid all bills on time.

Captivate has proven to be an exception to this. There is already a long thread about Sim Unlock. The bottom line is AT&T won't give you a unlock code for Captivate until 10 months later.

If you're not an AT&T customer, they typically won't help you with unlock at all. Good luck.
Not sure why there is another unlock thread, but At&T told me they would. Unlock in 90 days. I have no reason to doubt them.

unlock Captivate with froyo
today i unlocked my captivate with an app called Galaxy S Unlock get it in the market very easy to do also on youtube i am running froyo 2.2, version I897ucji6 and i am rooted (need to be rooted)
Finally got the captivate to unlock and accept the tmobile sim today. Everything seems to be working fine so far. No data on the plan but using wifi til I add data. One thing I'm really curious about is.... Now that the phone is unlocked and working, If I flash a custom rom (say cognition for example) will I lose the "unlock" ?
*edit* forgot to say how I did it... I just simply flashed back to stock 2.1, master cleared,rooted, installed busybox and galaxy unlock app, used the #2 method with the unlock app and it worked. PATIENCE IS KEY! ===> It takes a good 2-4 minutes for the tmobile signal to kick in so it may seem as if the unlock failed but it just takes alot longer than the at&t signal to kick in.

lol, don't waste your time.....there's no coeds to be had for this, its predominantly locked to O2 or Vodafone, so cannot be Sim Unlocked. I've tried many times since this phone was released.

Nope. You can't trust people now a days, don't risk it and waste your time.
i wouldn't even think about unlocking it. These days most people don't need to unlock them, last person i spoke to about unlocking my salsa didn't even know what it was let alone have software for them....
Internet unlocks will rip you off. I did it once on an old Nokia 5000, got the code...same as the free sites, didn't work. Couldn't get a refund either.....my advice is, want the phone sim unlocked, buy a phone on the network your on!
Problem is the fone is from a relative from abroad. Its lock to vodafone. The only carrier here in the philippines are globe, sun and smart. Thats why i need to unlock the fone. Its was recently given to me.

Temp SIM unlock to Permanent??

Hey All,
I don't know if a Dev will find his way in here or not but I have to ask....
I got the "temporary" (30 day) unlock from TMob thru the app they force on it. My question is...Is there anyway to take the temp unlock and make it permanent.
Like I said I got it and I'm on day 2 now, so if someone wants to take a look and see if they can find something, I can try and get them any files / info they need / want.
I am not yet experienced enough to know what I'd really be looking for or I'd try myself, but with only 30 days till it expires and my limited time, I fig'd I could maybe help get the sim unlocked by donating files.
I'm also a bit curious how "sunderwear" is able to unlock for peeps using the TMo app, but then charges $45 to do it. I don't discourage anyone from making a buck but $45 is 2x as much as any unlocking code service would normally charge and seems a bit exorbitant for someone who's well established in this (XDA) community.
MoodSwinger
Its less than that to unlock on www.unlockcode247.com which uses the exact same process that sunderwear uses
@paoloroeseke: I don't see it. I only see where you can get the code here, but there's still no way to enter it on the device. I'm going to believe since you are a senior member this is not just "spam". But from what i read about "Sunderwear", i got the impression he's been able to get into the TMobile "unlock device" app and do it remotely. If I am wrong let me know, and if I am missing something from the link you posted please point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
MoodSwinger
It's no longer there . Sunderwears service DOES work though. I had used the website i provided to unlock mine. Looks like it's down to one method again
I meant no disrespect to sunderwear. Just was showing options, which are no longer available i guess. Lol

Sunderwear's unlock doesn't work anymore either. He has stated that T-Mobile caught on to the loophole and shut it down. I don't think it is coming back.
On the galaxy s6 (before switching to g4) we had to flash the metro pcs firmware before we could unlock using a code. We could install a rom after, long as the radio wasn't touched. Maybe something in there can be edited?

i think the best bet would be to decompile the unlock app and try and see how it if we can see how it works..if it mod the ril or radio in someway..
@MicroMod777 , ALL
I get that, but I guess that's why I was saying anything I can pull from my device that's "temp" unlocked to maybe see where the app adjusts the firmware or whatever to unlock compared to one that's not yet unlocked. has anyone who's an app developer looked into the app? I would think if the app got hacked / Rev Eng'd then we'd see where the change occured.
that would be really helpfull. ihave 3 devices legally bought and i cannot unlock them. T-mobile says i need to have an account which i dont have here in canada.
I wish i knew someone with tmobile account so i can use that account to unlock the phone
i wondering if the app mods the modem or just unlock the imei on their servers?

there was h815 firmware created which asks for network unlock code but that one is not working at all.
so i doubt the metropcs software will help too. What i heard is that metropcs has also device unlock app installed on it

Mpcs is still available. Only tmo closed.
i wonder if theres a way to mod the tmobile unlock app so if we select temportary that it would still premently unlock it..
I permanently unlocked my G4 using the built in app that came with phone. Was super easy. Next time cricket wireless offers the 20gb of LTE for $55 I'm going to give it a test run. Is your phone paid off? It should work if it is.

Hey guys just a heads up... I did the temp unlock. used it on STalk for the 30 days, called TMob customer service 5 or 6 times trying to get them to unlock it even had 2 cust service reps take my info and my IMEI and said they will submit it for unlock & I should receive an email within 24 hours then I could unlock it. Those emails never came but I did keep trying to unlock it by hitting the permanent unlock button in the app...tho it kept coming back "Failed". Long story short I finally got an understanding supervisor on the line and he said sign up for a pay as you go make sure you use it everyday once (send a txt or make a call) then call them back and as long as they have an account to reference and the device registers on the network as being used they can override the other requirements. Be nice and ask for a supervisor and you may have to do it a few times to get one that will work with you.
Another interesting thing is...even tho my Temp time is done and if I open the "Device Unlock" app it shows buttons to Permanent and Temporary Unlock again. But I can still use it with my STalk sim. it's on'y been 3 days but I've switched out the SIM with the TMob one to do what the TMob SV said, and when I put the STalk one back in it always finds the network and has worked fine so far. SO somehow at least with the ST sim the device has remained unlocked. Also I have the AT&T STalk SIM, not the TMob one, so it's not like I'm still using the Tmob network and it just recognizes the device somehow.
Just wanted to post a follow-up with the new info. I will follow up again if this chg's. but I am still doing what the SV said so that i can get it perm unlocked. BTW the SV way is a one month prepay unlimited TXT & Calls only, no data so I'm on'y paying like $25 basically same as an unlock service. but don't just do it and expect it to work get a SV on the line and work with them cuz right now there aren't many other options.

HTC Desire 626s sprint SIMLock removal

Hello,
I need a help very badly on my new device that i purchased which is HTC desire 626s and is locked to Sprint. I thought i could buy unlock codes online and get it unlocked. But when i inserted different cellular SIM card, the device did not ask for unlock code and rather threw a message "4G LTE/GSM will not work as SIMLock is enabled. Please contact Customer Service to unlock". Can anyone please please help me here to have this SIMLock unlocked and make the device able to work with any other cellular provider, I know i can reach Sprint to get it unlocked but i just purchased it and i am sureSprint will not do it for newly purchased devices unless its used for 6 months. If anything to be done via device booting or anything please provide me a step by step procedure as i am not a tech geek. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.
Hi Pavi4, i searched all the web and the only way to GSM unlock my HTC Desire 626s from Sprint was buying this service. It is supposed to cost 25 or something but i sent a message to the seller and he accepted 20
I hope it works for You too!!

It's safe bro, at least in my experience the unlock was done in one hour. The guy told me that ussualy takes 20-30 minutes but I have a 64 BITS Windows 7 computer and it has a problem with drivers so it took us more time to figure out where the problem was, maybe you can send a message to the seller and ask your questiones. Maybe something has changed since I bought the service. Everything was through ebay so i felt secure about my money
