T-Mobile USA G1 FREE SIM Unlock - any progress???

Has anyone made progress with unlocking the G1 for use with AT&T

WITHOUT having to pay those guys at "unlockg1" or whatever it is?

I think its kinda crazy to pay a ton of money to buy a G1 without a contract

and then have to spend ANOTHER $20-50 to unlock it.

There are so many talented people here on XDA and I would imagine

with Android it would be alot easier to develop a SIM unlocker.
[G1 General] ranger7424:
There are a bunch of threads out there for this already. No need to start a new one. Long story short if you are with T-Mobile for 90 days at least they will provide you with the unlock code for no charge.

Cust Serv Does Give G1 Unlock Codes!

unless you call 611 and ask them for your unlock code, I think you have to be a customer for some period of time(I dunno how long)

I was talking to 611 a few days ago, and had heard about them not wanting to give up the g1 unlocks so I asked her she said sure and submitted my request im just waiting on the reply, I just did a tmob dash(xcaliber) and it took about 7 business days to get tmob to send the req then they get it from htc then forward to me...

we will see but I'll bet ill have an unlocked g1 without paying some dude 50$

bhang

edit:

could the diff in 3g freqs be the reason for different firmie tracks,(us/euro) it is always cheaper to make 1 device than 2 then just disable/enable things to implement the needed differences in this case the 3g freq/behavior? and why are all those euro APNs in the list?
[G1 General] :
Hi there, just a simple question...

Hi there. In the end of this year I'll be in London so I was wondering to buy an Android G1 and use it in Italy, can I buy it already unlocked or is there a way to unlock it? And how much is it if I don't care about the contract?

Thanks you... I really can't find these infos on line!

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference: 2711109

IMEI: 358286753093782

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. We have received your SIM Unlock Request. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time because we were unsuccessful in obtaining an unlock code for the given IMEI. We have made every attempt to obtain the unlock code for this device.

Thank You,

Sim Unlock Department

T-Mobile USA, Inc.

I read it to the cs she read it back , but some where between her lips and HTC's ears the got 1 digit wrong, according to the CSR who just resubmited my req. said "we's gots to gets da G1s codes straight from GOOGLE and Ya know they are real busy like with the g1 & gmail and all that other stuff so it may take a bit longer than usual"

I swear thats just a bit exagerated, but not much at all

so Im expecting the right code anyday and it seems as neither tmob or htc seems to care if I unlock the tmob exclusive... :)

Unlocking/activating? What is it?

Hi,

What unlocking and activating has to do with each other?

I need to unlock my G1 from t-mob uk and on unlock-tmobileg1.com says that you have to use different SIM card and it should have data plan to activate G1. I don't quite understand. Do I have to active it once for life or with every operator seperately?

Thanks in advance.

RC30 and Unlocked G1

Hey guys... noob question but I want to make sure i get this right before I go through with the process.

I bought my phone off of ebay about 1 week ago. It was unlocked when I received it. Everything works fine with the phone but now the message comes up.. "New Software Update is Available"... so I choose update later and here is my dilemma. I know that I am on RC28 after doing some reading and I would like to go to RC30 after reading the benefits, but my question is, will it affect my unlock on my phone right now? I dont see that answered anywhere and that is why I have not gone throught with the process?

I was going to follow these instructions to get it done, but just wanted to be assured of the success before I attempted it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443797

Also, do I physically have to connect the SD card to the machine or can I do it by mounting my phone to my PC? I dont have an SD reader so doing it this way would be ideal.

Thank you,

Pa-Cheeks
[G1 General] jashsu:
If you mean sim unlocking, then no it will not be affected. Upgrade away! Do it before you accidentally click accept on the OTA RC30 one of these days. You can transfer everything with the MicroSD mounted on the G1. Just make sure you unmount it before disconnecting the USB.

Edit: welcome to the forums. =)
[G1 General] pa_cheeks:
thank you so much to the quick reply. now my other question is.... can I just do the upgrade to RC3o without doing the rest since I dont care much for root access?

In other words just do step5 on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443797

Thanx.
[G1 General] jashsu:
The instructions on that thread (incl step 5) are for installing Modified firmware (for root access). If you do not want root access then you do not need Modified firmware; just install the standard OTA firmware. Consider it carefully though, because installing official RC30 is a one-way road.
[G1 General] pa_cheeks:
Yeah I have read that as well... again all i worry about right now is messing up with the lock and not having a functional phone without paying. Being the noob that I am, would you recommend going to RC29 first and then eventually going to RC30.

I just want to get rid of this stupid message all the time.

Thanx again...
[G1 General] jashsu:
You can go directly to RC30, either modified or official. The update completely wipes the system partition and installs everything fresh, so there's no need to be incremental. There are ways to stop the messages from appearing without actually performing an update too. Poke around in the Dream android development subforum for info on that.

Unlock T-mobile G1?

I was looking at buying a used G1 from a Tmobile employee and couldn't find any info here that people have unlocked it, unless u are a Tmobile customer for 90 days...i am on ATT and don't want to buy a phone that will be useless to me. Any help?
[G1 General] jashsu:
Some folks have gotten their G1s unlocked under 90 days by just telling the customer service rep they are about to go overseas. If it doesn't work try hanging up and talking to a different rep. YMMV.

By the way the G1 will not work on AT&T's 3G network (they use different frequency bands), so you'll be on EDGE only. Might not be a big deal if you anticipate using wifi most of the time.
[G1 General] Dillsnik:
no i don't use wifi...air data all the way baby!!

i guess that kills that notion...

Thanks for the quick help!
[G1 General] Mysticales:
How do I tell if im Unlocked/Dev version of G1?

Hey all, I put the info on my G1 in my sig, I saw that RC30 cannot be downgraded, which is what they sent me from T-mobile, so when I unlock it, thats only for the the sim card correct?

I did a search on the forums here, been looking around, Im not seeing too much about "Stock" USA versions or how to tell which is the one T-Mobile sent you, since I just bought mine with a upgrade.

Can I do anything atm with it or am I stuck till some new info gets released on it? I saw the recovery mode files, but doesnt say if you had to be already RC29 and root, or if you can recover from the stock t-mobile. (Thats if im stock?)

Any info would be great, thanks. =) Also the unlock codes, thats only for the sim? Or is it more. Reason I ask is because I have a MDA too which I rem was another process of unlocking on top of the sim.
[G1 General] Datruesurfer:
The SIM lock is handled by the radio baseband and not Android itself. You could do a factory restore and it would not affect your unlocked radio.

Jailbreaking is a process to get superuser (root) access on your phone within Android OS. From there you are free to modify system files, run applications written in C instead of Java and more.
[G1 General] Mysticales:
Right, which I know restore wouldnt change the sim card part unless I unlocked that seperatatly

Jailbreaking, I know the term, but the question is, am I already on a Dev unit? If not, I didnt see on search too many talking about T-Mobile USA Stock versions and if anything can be done yet, or if we are just waiting for the next hack to work with it.

I know with the Zune, people used to make a fake upgrade version to be able to trick the device into updating to a "modded" version. Maybe same could apply here? I know other update tricks were to use a DNS rerouter to make the device "think" it was going to "x" IP/Url when instead it would connect to your PC which was acting as a server to provide the update. (Thus giving you a modded version) Anything here like that or ideas?
[G1 General] jashsu:
If you received a G1 with the fingerprint kila-user 1.0, build - 1.0 tc4-rc30 116143 ota-rel-keys,release-keys out of the box, then it is not rootable/jailbreakable/whateverable. The only official reseller of dev phones is Brightstarcorp, in conjunction with Android/Google. If you did not buy from them, you do not have a dev phone.
[G1 General] sherifffruitfly:
The Market application "Service Viewer" can display "system properties" (the last selection).

Check the ro.product.* properties. Mine clearly indicate dev phone, for example.

Unlocked G1 On ATT network.

The G1 is unlocked and cannot get the phone to work with my sim card in place. An error comes up saying " the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". What info needs to be entered for this phone 2 work on ATT network? So far very unhappy with my purchase. :( Thanks for the help I need it!
[G1 General] brandenk:
Hold the house key and then press power to turn on your phone, I think that will take you to a screen that you can use the keyboard to press alt+W on to reset the phone. That should hopefully fix your problem.
[G1 General] djmiah:
Still no response from phone same message.

I had the phone on my ATT network for about 3 minutes and got thru the g-mail login. The message came up again and will not allow me to change any settings. When you force close it the message comes up again within 10 seconds. Initially when I put in my sim i had coverage but no internet to log on. What did you do and how did you set up your phone when you first started it on the ATT network?
[G1 General] djmiah:
Yeah I was able to wipe the phone and delete all the T-Mobile Apn settings, I mite have some issues with my SIM card possibly? My SIM works just fine in my HTC SDA phone with the data package, just not the G1 so far. I can get service just cant log onto the the G-mail site. Who knows? Thanks.
[G1 General] Geniusdog254:
You have to create a new apn for AT&T, if you are past the activation go into Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > Menu Button > New APN and if you aren't just hit the menu button at activation then hit APNs then menu again and New APN.

if youre interested in using it(testing android out), yes its worth it

if ur really not interested , just sell it, that's if u got it for free
[G1 General] beartard:
Keep in mind that SIM-unlocking (being able to use another carrier's SIM/service) is different from device-unlocking (being able to install other operating systems or other versions of the same operating system.)

These forums are more concerned with the latter. You'll find better luck with the former on howardforums. The quick answer is there are two ways to SIM-unlock a US G1: T-Mobile can unlock it for you, and will if you've had an account for 90 days...or are paying full price for the phone from them. The second is available from online unlocking services for about US$15. For G1s purchased in other countries, I have no clue how the T-Mobile branch there works. I haven't yet seen a free option that doesn't come from T-Mobile.
[G1 General] l3it3r:
Fair enough! I'm always interested in ROM development, regardless of what device it is on because some devices have incredible potential, the Dream has great hardware and I would love to see it used to its full potential.. I'm still on the fence if I'll be jumping into the Android realm just yet as I use data quite religiously and edge is like pulling teeth to me since I live in an area with stellar 3G coverage.
[G1 General] beartard:
The G1 wouldn't work on AT&T's 3G frequencies anyway.

That's what's sad about T-Mobile (and why they came so late to the 3G game). They had to bid on and wait for spectrum from the government. The allocation they won wasn't on a band used by any other US carriers for 3G. So until chipsets get smaller and include the 1700MHz tmo-usa band for 3G, the only 3G phones you'll see on tmo will come from tmo. And tmo 3G phones *probably* won't work on AT&T.

[G1 General] teflon252:
They saved money...by fitting the G1 wit an inadequate weak battery that even the The Shadow surpasses...saved by producing an prototype-like un-asthetically pleasing design...a slow unresponsive camera w/o flash or some-kind of light compensation...and they Gambled on an OS that no one initially wanted because they new it WAS NOT a complete package...that is why other manufacturers are hopping on it now because they have seen the chinks in the armor and design and kno exactly how to remedy it in their product...HTC opted to be the guinea pig...to be honest the g1 to me is a Wing with gps n 3g...

Don't listen to him. He's stringing you along. It doesn't become unlocked by flashing. I'm sorry but you have to buy a code currently. The only reason his says unlocked is because he has the Dev Phone or the Dev Phone image, if he has the dev phone they come unlocked but for a very high price (for in US $400 with free shipping but for outside US shipping very high, germany was upwards of $700 USD) and if he has the image he either unlocked it with a code or thats just because the build string lists that. The codes aren't that expensive and currently that is your only option. Sorry... Hope this helped you

@stats555

I just picked up a G1 yesterday and have been trying to do the impossible as well ;) I don't have a T-Mobile SIM and I'm looking for ways to unlock and upgrade the G1.

Using the SDK in Ubuntu I have root through adb after uploading busybox to /data/local/busybox. I can't however run the sqlite3 command to bypass the "SIM not installed" screen since my G1 is running RC19 firmware and I can't find the sqlite3 binary. With lots of reading, it looks like I'll need a modded RC30 to proceed.

Where do you think I should start my quest to unlocking this beast? I'm guessing I'll want to install the engineering bootloader, but does that actually unlock it?

Starting from RC19, does the following order look ok?:

1. Upgrade to Mod RC30 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443797

2. Install Engineering Bootloader - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Bootloader

3. What next, JFv1.41 or a dev image?

Honestly, I installed Pixel Plus UI and never looked back. It is very smooth, fast and fluid with fantastic battery life and no bugs (so far). The only things I did to improve it was to add a different Gcam and config and to root and install the ZTE2019 Axon pro Dolby Atmos Port (which works wonders for the loudness and clarity of the speakers).

*EDIT* The Razer Phone 2 Dolby Atmos Port is even better than the ZTE one for this phone. Highly recommended.

HOWEVER. I have tried them all and I have changed my mind. The ZTE Axon port is

not

the best one for this phone. Rather, the Razer Phone 2 Dolby Atmos port (v 4.1) is the best. Fanstastic sound quality, with a fully functioning UI and equalizer and dolby atmos even appears as a QS tile.

Hi all,

Possibly a broken record but haven't read anything that helps. Friend has a S8 with a completely shattered screen. It has power. I need to enable USB Debugging but not working out. All of the solutions I'm finding seem to presume you can see on the screen just not interact with it. Re: ADB, I'm sure using the volume rockers and buttons might work, but without being able to see what's on the screen, I'm pushing buttons blindly.

I tried Kies but it's stuck in "Connecting" and never connects. I've tried multiple USB ports, cables and even 3 dif machines. No go. All 3 machines (Win 10 x 2 and a Win 7) can identify the device and connect, but without USB Debug enabled, it's pointless. I've tried screen mirroring software to put the S8 screen on my PC but I've had no success getting that to work.

The screen does have a code and I've got a USB-to-USB C adapter so I should be fine with connecting a USB keyboard to the phone to unlock it, but again, without being able to see the screen, I'm shooting in the dark.

Any assistance is appreciated.
