This has been covered elsewhere.

Your simlock can be removed by the service provider.

either that or there is a site out there that charges about £20 to send you the unlock code.

Ive just got a G1 off my cousin today and have suffered the same. Luckily for me he is still a tmobile customer and should be able to get the unlock code from them for free.
[G1 General] robuser007:
Thanks for your confirmation (wasn't sure about this).Jtag can also be done (but thats madness)
[G1 General] robuser007:
Just another question:

I've read that the locked version uses different gsm networks(dual band), while the unlocked versions use quad band.

Can an locked phone that has been unlocked use the quad band (with the right radio) too?
[G1 General] robuser007:
Anyway I've bought the google phone :)
[G1 General] robuser007:
I found that unlocking on ebay is the fastest and the cheapest way of doing this.

BTW: the phone I'm going to buy has already CM 4.6, should I root again after every build I flash (the kaiser builds were always rooted) ?
[G1 General] Danh2009:
I wouldnt have thought you needed to root again if it already has the Cyanogenmod on it as i think its already rooted.

im still learning the android stuff!

i do know that within 3hrs of having my (still locked to tmobile) "virgin" G1 i had the Danger-spl and the latest release of CM on it!

ebay i will have to look into as i have discovered that because im in the UK Tmobile will charge £15 to unlock even though my cousin has had this phone since release.
[G1 General] ezterry:
Simlock has nothing to do with the rom, and a rooted rom has nothing to do with the simlock outside of prompting you for the code if the radio firmware tells the rom its needed to proceed.

There is no reason to unroot/reroot besides increasing the chances you make a mistake and brick the phone.

If you want a different rom that's your choice, but it will have no impact on the simlock.
[G1 General] robuser007:
So after flashing a custom rom (phone was already rooted) , the phone is still rooted?

Reroot is only needed when flashing the original image back (if you want a custom rom later) ?
[G1 General] malayalapenkutti:
Sim unlock code is best to unlock the HTC G1,But free unlock code is not possible to get for this Model Phone,You need to pay for it,Get the unlock code from the site Superunlockcodes.com/htc/rs12wp8/ and Unlock it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelcegno:
I just got my wife a mytouch slide. Is there any way to make the native facebook syncing only sync facebook people that are in her address book with their picstures and stuff. It does that but even when its not set to snyc anyone else when you go to choose a person to text or whatever it shows her whole facebook friend list of like 400 people.

So is there a way to just have it sync her contacts in her address book and not have everyone from facebook in the list when she goes to text people? cause the only option seems to delete the facebook account from the settings so it doesnt snyc at all or everyone populates it. Thanks for any help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
From the actual Contacts menu (or People menu), press Menu > View and make sure Facebook is not checked in. I have my FB Contacts set to not sync, but their FB pictures show up, and I do not see any of the FB contacts that are not on my Google contacts when I go to select a contact when typing a message...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboyo:
The way this phones seems to handle its contacts list is horrible.. I have some names up to 5 times from my sim, google and fb very annoying, I just want google, like the g1 used to be
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebelbanker:
Re:

1.) Link your contacts using the "link function" located on the top right corner of each contact.

2.) When in your main contacts view, hit the menu key>view>google. Make sure that its the only one selected.

I do have it like that and that works fine for the contacts app, but when u seard for a name for lets say a new text, it will show every single one individually. Im just going to ask for a SIM thats empty and not sync my FB
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Junonion:
The problem with linking accounts that I found...

My ex has a very slutty picture as her facebook pic. I don't want my kids or myself to see that picture when I call/text her. There is an option to choose which picture to use for a contact in the linking page, but it reverts back to the facebook picture whenever it syncs!

I talked with T-mobile and they are aware of the issue and I asked if they could bring it up with HTC. Seems stupid to have a way to choose which picture if it never stays!

[General Questions and Answers] gfrtoow:
Ok, here we go. I´m considering 2 phones as my new beetle -

1) LG Viewty smart

2) Sony ericsson xperia x10 MINI

Of course LG Viewty smart is better..in fact completely higher league in most things that are required for me like battery life, camera, video, SMS writing, user friendly enviroment, etc. but I have

temptation

to try something new = android system on this small phone. The main reason why I hesitate is that I REQUIRE of my phone to let me change its UI completely.

So the question pops-up: Can I change themes / UI in android powered cellphones easily or with some simple handed modification?

I´ll give you an example: now I have LG Viewty ( KU990 ). Its enviroment is completely made of java so with basic firmware modification ( EFS Tool, "TOTO" system, one of tons themes for this cell and you are done in 5 minutes ) you can make the whole UI / theme looks like HTC Hero/Touch diamond/iphone/etc., etc. instead of ugly default one. I´m curently using HTC Hero theme ( tried to put link but forum refuses to let me do that so google it: viewty gate by adc, joseph earl, htc hero. ). Now you see how easy it is to change theme on LG phones using java enviroment.

So can anyone please tell me if I would be able in some near future to change sony ericssons xperia x10 mini REALLY UGLY, AWFUL, REPULSIVE UI to something decent? Is android user friendly enough to let community do this? I´m asking here because where is better place to ask than here? ;)

I´m completely new in tasks about android so if it´s silly question for you keep in mind that I´m not familiar with it at all and if you answer to question "NO, you can´t change theme / UI in android" this system will remain unknown for me till death most probably ( 99.9% chance ).

So thx in advance for respond. :p

[EVO 4G Android Development] chuckhriczko:
This is the OTA update that was released by Sprint. With this we can extract the changes and put it into our existing rom or make a rooted rom from this.

It's the full RUU, with the OTA. But I think you knew/meant that.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Darth Pooh:
Yes, don't run this if you don't want to lose everything. Wait for a zip recovery flash that doesn't wipe DATA. Some might... so you want to be be sure you nandroid first in case the dev doesn't mention wiping occurs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Basically just wait till somebody makes all the necessary changes to keep root and releases it as a signed zip even with unrevoked for some reason I feel unrevoked won't work with a custom recovery once the nand gets unlocked because it reroots it everytime you reboot your phone instead of truly being sticky

alright thanks

Zip version of the files from the installer.

Is this rooted with Su permissions installed and all that
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks you
[EVO 4G Android Development] techwerkz:
No, this is simply a ZIP of all the files the installer contains. I believe a few of these people are after the img files that are in the ROM to start looking for a way to root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Ahh gotcha thanks for clarifying
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
Hey, Can I take this zip and flash this via recovery if I wanted to go back to stock.... I just wanna make sure in case I cant keep my root.. I wanna know thats all, thaNKS guys..? :o
[EVO 4G Android Development] jabbawalkee:
A ZIP is great and all but doesn't do me any good. I need a flashable zip as I can't get the OTA for some reason. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] techwerkz:
In that zip is ROM.zip ... from the looks of it, it should be flashable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
if it contains an update-script file, the recovery can flash it. otherwise it is merely a copy of the payload .the payload is all the .img files in a .zip format the .exe RUU in the 1st post flashes the system with. the payload the RUU uses while in a .zip file, is not structured the same way a .zip which custom recovery's use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] techwerkz:
Thanks for the info. It indeed does not flash via the recovery ... however!

Renaming it to PC36IMG.zip, saving it to your SD card in the root directory, powering off the phone, power it back on by holding power/volume down until the white bootloader screen appears, and waiting a few seconds it will check the files in the ZIP, and allow you to update. This is similar to how the root by toast works. Let me know how it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jabbawalkee:
How could this possibly work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] npace:
It doesn't.

If you want to flash this, connect the phone to the PC, start the bootloader (hold power on and vol down until white screen) then go to fastboot and press power. After that, use the RUU (the .exe) from your PC and it will find the device and flash everything
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
In the event of flashing this u will lose the ability to root. Main version is higher is wait till one of us upload a update.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] techwerkz:
Worked for me. Just tested it.

Also just for clarification, you need to unzip the link I posted earlier as I just grabbed the tmp dir the installer was using. In that zip there is a rom.zip that I renamed. It worked, and updated fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
if you flash this file the 1.32.651.6 RUU posted by Football, the PC36IMG.zip userdebug RUU (with root adb in recovery and system write access) will not flash to the phone because the version on this 1.32.651.6 RUU is higher than the userdebug RUU?

what is the difference between loading this 1.32.651.6 RUU and the 1.32.651.1 RUU with the OTA 1.32.651.6 patch? are there more updates in this 1.32.651.6 RUU than the 1.32.651.1 RUU with the OTA 1.32.651.6 patch?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
the main version is higher. i guess take that chance if u want. but once u bring the main version up. u cant flash older builds with a lower main version. ur better off to wait. or else we will end up with a "how to root the evo thread" again
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
hope these questions are too n00bish. new to the HTC structure and update methods, but quickly learning on here!

do we know where (what file or location of the file) the main version id is kept? do we know how (or what function) checks the main version id? do we know at what point in the update/flashing process it checks the version id of file to flash against existing system version id?
[EVO 4G Android Development] techwerkz:
This is very true. The only reason I updated was due to issues with my SD card in the rooted RUU that was posted. I am just using the unrevoked method for now as a userland root. I will just live with some of the bloatware until the new root releases.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
um u may have lost root forever. no one has can say we will ever figure out nand protection or another method to root. :x sdcard issue will most likely be fixed tomorrow when flipz gets back. he has the server and sets up the links on it. im running the new build already. just waiting for him to return from vacation
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
maybe another userdebug RUU will be leaked!

i hope we are able to crack nand protection!

EVO has only pubically been out 2 days...still early IMO.

i still wonder what files from this RUU change ... i guess i could run an md5sum on all the files in here compared to the .1 ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
all it was, was a small change in the ota. they just made a complete ruu with a radio upgrade
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
Ran a comparison between the RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1 and RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6 files located in each of their rom.zip (payload for the RUU) files.

Will I need to redo the root process if I install this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Glod:
so.....how do i get this to work if my phone's usb connection is not recognized by the os (nor sd) while the phone is on or even in recovery mode.......

:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] techwerkz:
Try my method. Download the zip I posted, extract the rom.zip from the file. Rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Save it to your SD card in the root directory. Power off the phone. Power it back on by holding power and volume down until the white bootloader screen appears. Wait a few seconds, and it will check for the PC36IMG.zip, it will then check the files, and allow you to update.

Once doing this, the only root that works is unrevoked, and it has to be applied after each reboot.

I had a similar problem, when it would reboot into recovery the OS would not reload the driver. I eventually got it to work, but tested this method earlier today to make it easier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] PlankLongBeard:
I want to confirm.. This method works flawlessly.. Unrevoked and titanium for busybox completes this as a full update with root.. su.. and busybox.. Click problems in titanium and it will download buysbox for you..

Thanks dude.. Appreciate the rom.zip..

Please be sure when football releases the 2.2 you rom.zip it immediately.. lol..
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
you just can't rename the Rom .zip it has to be signed I don't see how this worked
[EVO 4G Android Development] bobdude5:
but with this method you wont be able to flash custom roms..i think lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
i think we're in agreement. the only way an unsigned .zip file could be loaded is thru the custom recovery after using toast's userdebug RUU which is software version .1.

to load an unsigned .zip file

flash toast's userdebug RUU

load custom recovery through .sh scripts

then load unsigned .zip file from /sdcard thru custom recovery UI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Devilbear:

I have a Win7 64Bit system and am not able to run this .exe file on it. I have tried running as administrator but didn't work. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it, but I am wondering if anyone else is having the same issue on any 64bit system and especially on win7 64bit. Also, if there is a fix for this. It will act as it is running and the install will start but then it will just disappear.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVO'D_OUT:
So just for clarification...If I flash this file to the EVO it will return the phone to 100% stock? Just like it was when I left the Sprint store?

Someone please clarify EXACTLY how I flash this file to the EVO...please assume I am mentally retarded as I am new to all this rooting business.

The best explanation I found in this thread is this one...

If you want to flash this, connect the phone to the PC, start the bootloader (hold power on and vol down until white screen) then go to fastboot and press power. After that, use the RUU (the .exe) from your PC and it will find the device and flash everything

If this works and it returns my phone to stock, will I later be able to root the phone, unlock NAND, and flash custom ROMs or will I be permanently stuck in the factory stock state?

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVO'D_OUT:
OK just did this successfully. Phone is unrooted and back to being factory fresh. Followed the directions above to a T and followed the prompts. One thing I noticed is that the prompts tell you to turn the phone on when running the .exe while I ran the .exe while in bootloader screen. Maybe it works either way.
