I just got my att htc tilt in today, im going to unlock it to work with tmobile, but thing is, i left the phone out in my room and my douche bag 14 yr old brother decided to play with it, and apparently the guy who i bought the phone from had a code on it to get into it.and knowing the 14 yr old douche bag, he went ahead and tried all the attempts, and now the phone is locked and only does emergency calls.. any help would be great i want to start using this phone ASAP!

get in contact with that guy you purchased the device from. nobody here is going to tell you how to bypass a code just in case the device was stolen.
Ummm... Obvious answer, call the guy you got the phone from and ask for the password...

so is the device locked? or is it asking you for a code?
If its asking you for a code and you have a T-Mobile sim card on the phone then it may not be unlocked.
edit: nevermind forgot about the first post. ok im tired now.

device is locked, and it has a phone lock on it, which my brother attempted (w/o sim card) and this is what it exactly says "Several incorrect passwords have been entered. To continue a1b2c3. In case of emergency, enter an emergency phone number.".... now that i read it closely i can see i can enter the password again...i guess i have to wait for the guy to reply back...or is there a way to get around that? man i feel like a dumba$$ FAIL!

Okay, dumb question, you can't just hard reset it and start over?
People,
Recieved my HTC touch this morning, locked on Orange UK... im on T-Mobile....as I have been a member for some time I have gone thru the Olipro channels and messaged him for possibly free unlock code.... im too exited and cannot wait so I am just wondering if anyone knows any other methods?
or do I just sit tight and wait to hear from Olipro?
You can always use Olipro's paid for method? for donations over £10 (i think). Check out his page HERE for more information - if you can not wait - Its well worth the Money...
Hmmm I might just do that..... anyone know if this instant?
if not then I might just wait to see what he comes back with....
Thanks

I think it would be quicker, than waiting for a response on the PM from him and besides he may look at you post count (no offense) and decide not to to offer for free due to not meeting the criteria below.
you want a free SIM Unlock right? well tough ****, there's no such thing as a free lunch... if you want to get something, you need to give something.
1) contributing forum members... PM me for a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness), then just drop me a message and it's yours.

I would just go for it - best (cheapest)offer around.
yeah true,
ok thanks a lot
appreciate the advise
Thanks!
Thank you for your payment, your personal unlock software will be e-mailed to you within 48 hours!
Oh well.... guess I have to wait until I get to play with my new toy!

We can sim unlock any HTC device by code within 24 hours (sameday unlocking). this is not a free service. open your htc to use with any network, anywhere in the world. we can even help you to change the OS language ex- french to english after unlocking. reply me for more details.

I purchased an i-SmartSim 2008 SIM for a few pounds from dealsextreme.
My diamond was locked to orange but I am using my t-mobile sim.
It was quick, simple and effective.
The advantage of this gadget is that you can use it with any phone, take it out of old one and pop into new one.
Just slip it between the sim and your phone, and you`re away

I would recomment this method as well, it can be a bit expensive but you can use it on a wide range of phones.

It cost me $7 inc p&p, and as I`m in the UK the exchange rate makes that amount pitance!
Seems a bargain, considering the cost of the other options
Best £3 I ever spent!

watch out the sim card holder, might get damaged if you put it with these magic simcard thingy. cos you need to insert two simcards together.
i guess best thing is to unlock your phone permanently with software / or 8 digit unlock code

The Ismart sim is waffer thin, not like a normal sim, fits easily between the phone and original sim.
(BTW I have no affliliation with the Ismart LOL !! I am just a customer giving my personal view, to inform others )
I bought a T-Mobile G1 off ebay, but its locked
If I flash the rom will it unlock it? I have no reply from seller and tmobile wont give me unlock code unless original user contacts them (must be 90 days use)
Or anyone know how to unlock? I'm in Australia
Thanks.

When you flash the phone it will not unlock it. You can use one of the other unlocking services they offer online.
Do they work? Is there anyway I can get it done free?

Yes they work. Alot of people on here have done it. The only way you can get it done for free is thru T-Mobile. Even tho you bought the phone second hand they should still do it for you, but being your in Australia I don't know if there policy is different. You can try to find someone you trust in the US and give them you IMEI and have them call it in for you.
Good luck with tmo, I tried everything even when I was a customer and they said wait 90 days. After I cancelled with them and asked again they said you have to be a customer with G1 data plan for 90 days. Other then that there is NO NO NO free way to unlock.
I have unlocked my girls G1 and my own with www.unlock-tmobileg1.com for $24 bucks and I got the code in about 20 minutes, another member here asked me what to use and I pointed him to them, he got his code in 12 minutes. I heard you can do it on ebay for a little less but I never tried it so I can't say for sure.

I wouldn't unlock your phone either. You prolly didn't pay your bill you cheap s.o.b.
Nope, and I suckered my way out of the contract without paying a ETF, after only 26 days. Har Har Har, 2 new G1's for only 150 each and first months bill. Oh and got it online when they had the free activation sale.

Yea I don't think that would work for me considering I had that line for about 3 years. And I won't get rid of my other line with the G1 so they would be like you get service on one phone but not the other.
Tell them your son is in a boarding school out in the boondocks and he gets no service there. Just use the coverage map and see what area closest to you get little to no service. They will take 3 or 4 days to check it out then you can get out with no ETF. Gotta be crafty with your lies, just cuz you had service for 3 years doesn't matter much since now your son is going to school in a area without any reception, with you being a long standing customer AND having other lines they would rather keep you happy and lose 1 lines then risk losing you completely.

I don't mind paying but it is a pain. Still waiting for my gnote unlock on the phone I paid full retail for. Looks like this $3 app unlocks a 3G 8.9 Tab, but not my 4G.

EDIT:
OK, swiftunlocks did it in a few hours for $24. I had a bunch charge $15-$20 then come back and say I needed to pay more, a giant pain.
Unlocking
I found this unlock method in "General Discussion/Unlocking":

I tried but nothing worked so finally i outsourced this and paid some amount to get this done, now works fine....

I tried to kick my own butt 100 times when I read there was a $3 unlock solution. Then later I realized u stated it wouldn't work for 4G models. Frankly I didn't know 3G models existed for 8.9's till I read further.
Unlockfusion dot net has served me well on more instances than one (for family/friends too) for $24.5 a pop, available on FleaBay so you can hold them accountable.
*works on T-mobsters unlimited $50/mon but get 'Edge', havn't tried it w/ other carriers tho.

Haha I bought a Moto X on swappa yesterday, won't get it till Wednesday, and I already bought an unlock code. One of the first things I searched for was bootloader unlock. Maybe he has been under a rock?
At this point even people under rocks have heard about this.

The hell we have.
I don't spend every day on XDA for my MotoX. Why? Because it works so perfectly, I don't need to
I haven't seen any discussions about this until I searched and found this thread. I am looking because I am now being prompted for the 4.4.2 update so I need to get the latest news.
Back on the topic, I took a look at the Chinese webpage. Wow some of the translations on that page is pretty incredible Anyone have a better approach, or is this the only/best method?
Easy as pie! I used the middle man. Ive done it for my wife,myself and @JJHunterx.
