i know this isnt the right place for it, but i was wondering if anyone knew how to or could point me in the right direction for: unlocking a motorola rokr e1
i found more than enough information here with my hermes 8525 and figured it would be the best place to ask, my girlfriends father is visiting for the holiday and wants to use his rokr with his pre-paid service
i searched all over that internet but couldn't find much, closeest thing i could find was maybe IMEI code.
any help appreciated
Wrong place, find a forum that covers Moto phones...

Hey everyone,
I've been searching on here and somehow I'm not finding ANY helpful info on how to unlock a G1 to work on AT&T. I want to buy one of craigslist and it seems most people aren't able to get customer service to unlock it for me.
Is there any way to unlock it, even if i need to flash the ADP1 firmware or something?
I really thought there would be a sticky for this, but so far all I've found is paid services.
I can borrow a friend's T-Mobile sim if i need one temporarily to access anything for the unlocking.
Thanks!

P.S. I'm hoping to buy one today, so the sooner someone answers my question the sooner i can get in on this new android love!
I believe as of now you have only one choice - buy unlock code on eBay or some other online shops.
get the phone and have a friend that has t-mo say that they are going out of the country and they need the unlock code for their phone. t-mo will ask for the IMEI and you give them that and they will email you an unlock code. but i am pretty sure that you will be stuck with edge network on at&t. not that i have any choice as t-mo STILL doesn't have 3G in stl
Hey, thanks for the help. I only have one friend with Tmobile and she probably could have helped me, but i was hoping there was a more guaranteed way, in case that didn't work. So flashing the ADP1 firmware and bootloader doesn't do it? I assume that the right people have looked at this and all that?
Well it would be cool if we could crack that, but lucky for me i finally found someone with an unlocked g1 at a great price - $250 for a barely used one with accessories and box, still with the original plastic on the screen, it's basically brand new! I was going to buy one that had been used for a few months, just had a charger, and was locked for the same price! I actually thought it might have been stolen till i met the kid, he was driving a brand new car and only looked to be about 18, so basically he was just rich and didn't care too much if he got the most he could get, heh.
So yeah, I have a G1 now and it's unlocked and works great. I of course don't get 3G on ATT but i had an old iphone before that didn't have 3G, so i'm at least not worse of. And somehow the G1 downloads pages much faster than the 2G iphone, interestingly enough, so I'm pretty happy.
Thanks for your help guys. is there a way we could maybe sticky this or something, maybe make a new post that is the official sim unlock thread and sticky that? I never found a place that specifically said you couldn't unlock it, except for a few posts from before the phone was even out with people speculating, so it was pretty tough for me to find out. Sure, i didn't find anything that said you COULD unlock it easily, but i didn't find a lot the other way either and i wasn't sure if I was just missing something.
Thanks,

I used this one to unlock my g1

within 20 min, I received my unlock codes. And it really worked
as t-mobile asked me 125 Euros for unlocking (the Netherlands)
Hey whats up people? i been searching over and over through out this site, to figure out how to unlock my T-mobile phone to be use for AT&T service. You figure with all these amazing things, these people are doing with these phones, it would be easy to find, so if anyone could help or at least guide me in the right direction, it would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance

call T-mobile and they will provide you with teh unlock code. I think as long as you have the service for like 3-6 month, they will give it to you.
Hello, I am in desperate need of unlocking my Bionic. I'm out of the United States and cannot get an unlock code for the bionic from Verizon. I have no service and I can't figure how to unlock the darn thing (for free at least). I've tried online searching but can't find what I'm looking for. May someone please help?

I've been searching myself for a bit now too, I can't find a solution that works for me. I have limited internet access here and the catch 22 is I would have better internet access if I could get GSM+Data working on my Droid. From what I understand some files need to be edited with RadioComm, however thus far I have been unsuccessful in getting RadioComm to connect to my phone. There's a bunch of threads out there with info, the problem is though that it is taking me a long time to sift through them as I'm tethered with a jailbroken iPhone 1 running on the Edge network.
I was able to unlock the bootloader for my HTC ONE and I also rooted it. I know there is a way to flash it over to a new carrier but I don't know how..
I also just completed the "SIM Unlock" If there is anyway I can use this phone on a different network that would be great.. All responses are greatly appreciated.
Bump! Could really use some info on this...
Don't you already have a running thread about this?

Can anyone help me with this? I unlocked the SIM and everything else. Has anyone been able to flash the HTC ONE over to a prepaid carrier?
You need to Google this info and do the leg work. Plenty of info out there if your serious in finding a solution.
Or better yet........look on craigslist and pay someone to do it for you as I it appears you want someone to do all the work for you anyways.
Look on craigslist under cell phones. Depending on your area .......there is many looking to make a buck flashing phones.
solution to "what now"
problem solved, make offer to trade one of the fine developers in this forum your phone for a phone already flashed to a prepaid carrier or one that is compatible. You would be helping out the community and get back into a more affordable service plan. looks like your going nowhere to this point?
Been answered before. No need for another thread....

Prepare for a soap box, I've hidden this now because as relevant as it is, it's a little over the top.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CALL SPRINT AND GET AN DEVICE UNLOCK CODE FROM THEM! It's pretty simple. Ya'll need to quit with all these posts. You're not encouraging anyone to do any work any quicker than they might already be doing it. You are simply being an annoyance. Twenty thousand posts about the same thing is getting really old. Buy a phone that works with your SIM card, buy a device already SIM unlocked, or wait until someone figures out a way!
STOP ASKING A MILLION TIMES OVER FOR THE SAME THING!!
This post is not just against you but EVERYONE begging over and over again about the same thing. The same thing goes for those with 64 bit devices who beg for a 64 bit recovery.

Ok sherlock, Already called sprint before i made this post. You know what was their answer? "WE CANT UNLOCK IT, SORRY SIR". Yes, very dissapointing, I know. She told me "you can only use the wifi". Like, if she would answer me - Get lost.
And btw, I already have a phone, A OnePlus One I just bought these 2 sprint phones from amazon for super cheap - 30$ each. I've been planning using them as a backup / Give one for my sister's boyfriend. So, just saying again, I hope someone can do it and unlock it..
Go after Sprint
Seems to me that we are growing frustrated at the wrong people...
Obama signed into law a few months back that requires the phones to be "Unlockable" by the end user. I do know, a lot of the carriers have voluntarily put in promise to comply in the future, in regards to selling Unlockable phones. But, I just see it as lip service and does not help us Now.
Someone or a group of people need to take this up with the FCC or Justice Department...
But at the very least file a class action lawsuit on two fronts... I personally am miffed about this same phone being marketed as a 4 Gig of internal memory, when in fact it really has about 1.5 Gigs or less of available memory. And, this whole SIM/Locked, S-On, Bootloader Locked nonsense.

Well Watson, if Sprint wont help you, instead of creating such a useless thread--that helps nobody and gets you no answers--how about you utilize the search function and notice that nobody has currently found a way to sim unlock (save Virgin Mobile apparently). You'll also notice how many useless posts there are about this same thing. So "for the love of god", either figure it out yourself or sit patiently. You posting about this issue, really a non-issue, is not going to get it solved any faster. You are simply being an annoyance just like every other user incessantly posting about the same thing. I'm sorry if this seems mean or whatever but that post wasn't necessarily directed at you but all the damn posts about this non-issue. And honestly this is something you should have researched and considered before you bought the phone.
Sorry, I'm off the soap box.
Also, try calling Sprint International Customer Service at 1-888-226-7212 and tell them you are going to be traveling abroad to whatever country you want and tell them you want to use a local sim card while you're there. I can't tell you that they'll definitely do it because on the website it says that prepaid phones are not eligible to be unlocked, however, there are multitude of places on the internet (some respected, others not so much) that you can go to and get your MSL code. Also, this is the bill @flash4yish was talking about which you might bring up in conversation with Sprint, H.R.1123 - Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act
Regardless, just chill, people are in fact working on it as it's a hot topic in the forums so it's really just a matter of time.
