Unlocking Help Please

I just bought a used 3 month old AT&T Tilt for $300 and I have tried to unlock it with no luck. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong.
This is what I got:
AT&T Tilt with Win 6.1, No other changes made to the phone that I'm aware of.
I downloaded "Kaiser-Simunlocker" from this site and followed the directions to the "T".
It all goes just as the instructions say until it is supposed to display the unlock code on my computer. The Window that is supposed to show me the unlock code won't stay open. It opens and instantly disappears... It doesn't stay open even a second so I can't read it.....
I'm not sure what is wrong or what I am doing wrong so I'm hoping (Praying) somebody here can walk me through this.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance somebody can offer.....
Thank you!
Jess

The best thing you can do is call AT&T at this number..... (888) 892-9760 Tell them that you bought it used & you'd like the Subsidy Unlock Code for the phone. They're gonna ask you for the IMEI #. Dial *#06# before you call them & write that number down. That'll get you a really good start.

I appreciate the reply however I already tried to get the code from AT&T....
They wouldn't give it to me. I had a hell of a time just getting to talk to somebody because I don't have an AT&T account.

I never could get mine to work because im on vista but you need to open a comand promt, it should be in Start/Program/accessorys if im not mistaking, i am assuming your on step 2 I would try typing something like "C:\Users\Joshua\Desktop\kaiser-simunlocker\step2\kaiser-simunlocker.exe" yours wont be quite like that since your probly using Windows XP but you get the idea

I just got it unlocked..... I found a newer unlocker on here and it did the trick...thanks guys!

About Unlock G1 Phone

Hello, i got a G1 from my cousin, so i cant use it yet but im the 1st day,
i can still use the "camera, calculator and some of the apps, it happens that i wipe-out the datas. but now i discover to make an update that some1 instructed me to do this.
1. Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list
2. Download this: signed-kila-ota-148830.de6a94ca.zip [8th in the list]
3. Rename it: update.zip
4. Place it on your SD card
5. Put SD card in phone. Reboot holding the Power and home buttons.
6 Apply the update...
7. Done.
but then i cant even still see those apps like camera's bar code reader,
calculator etc.. is there a way to see those? or i now need to get an unlock
pin to activate the phone and see those apps?
my phone is 2weeks nothing to do ><
all i can see is the emergency calls xD

Is it asking you to sign in to google?
I'm not really of your scenario, you're using a t-mobile SIM, right? When I got my G1 I didn't have a t-mobile SIM, so all I could do is use emergency call until I unlocked it. Thing is, when you factory reset your SIM unlock is still retained, so I don't really see how this is possible...
So we can understand what happened.
-The phone worked fine
-you factory reset
-Applied that update
-it's asking for a code
Is it an unlock code (for the SIM) or a gogle sign-in?

First of all thanks for replying bro, its really appreciated
i got my G1 without a T-mobile sim card. so if i put a sim from here
it ask for a pin and also requires me to sign in tio google.
how to fix? or the only way is to get it unlocked?
coz samehere i only can use emergency call xD

so you have an rooted locked g1 and you what? Hard to follow the conversation

If you're not on tmobile you need to purchase an unlock code, you can buy them on ebay for about $15/£10. They will ask for your IMEI. Never publicly post your IMEI. If you see one really really cheap, make sure they are going to give you the code, rather than tell you how to unlock.
After thatyou need apn settings for your carrier, press menu, enter those and sign in.

did your cousin originally have tmobile? what he can do is call tmobile and say that he sent his g1 overseas to his cousin as a present... jus tmake sure you tell him the IMEI number found on the back of the phone when u take out the battery first before he calls tmobile..
tmobile will give him the unlock code thru email within 24hours.
if he didnt have tmobile then the only thing u can do is buy the unlock code.preferably ebay.
a lot of apps use data. so apps that use internet and such will not work since there is no SIM in it. u need a sim with a data plan. but u can use the phone over wifi. no calls but download from market and browse the web.
PM me so i can walk u thru. more things.

Its unnecessary to bump unless you have the unlock code cuz there's not much we can help you with until then.

I got my G1 now what?

Hello peeps, i finally received my G1 today... Happy!
Two things i would like to know i do have a t-mobile sim here but i dont get t-mobile service in Australia so i will need to unlock it.
What would be the best way of going about this... could you point me in the best direction for the cheapest and safest Australian Unlock codes , other thing is somewhere i read its possible to skip the gmail bit and activate it later also someone said to me it was possible to start the wireless connection to enter those gmail details so i dont need a sim with data....
So main question is with a t-mobile sim here is it possible to access the phone without having it unlocked and without t-mobile service?
The other thing is i have heard going around is that dev images have unlock strings would this allow me to use a Australian sim to enter the details at the start without having to pay for unlock??

Call t-mobile to get the phone unlocked, they are quite relaxed with the unlock codes, secongany dev based rom something like cyan' s rom will allow you to skip the g-mail reg when you boot up and connect via wi-fi, even hero roms have that option

I tried messaging t-mobile but they said i needed proof of perches because i don't have a t-mobile account

Koodo phone won't be used on Rogers network.

I was planning on giving my uncle my ace and unfortunately when I put his sim in and try to connect to Rogers APN it says I'm unable to register on to the network. I put my sim in from my One V and it worked on that phone. I'm assuming it's carrier locked, how exactly can it be fixed if at all. Thanks.

the phone is locked. you need to get an unlock code. look on ebay or your local craigslist. you should be able to get it done for under $20

I've heard that cellunlocker.net works. It costs some money, but from what I've heard, it sounds pretty good!

Why I thought this wasn't the case is that my phone never asks for a code to be unlocked like these sites say, so I'm a little confused as to whether my phone is locked or unlocked.

There's probably a hidden menu that you have to access. I think if you get your code, specific for your device, they should give you clear instructions on how to get there... But they probably won't do it until you pay for it . I'll try and search around and see what I can find.
-------- edit ---------------------------------------------------------------
Alrighty! Here is the thread that you might be looking for. It's a bunch of hidden menus, and one of them might be the one you are looking for....

I think u should edit ur apn configuration and use rogers setting.. may be u can find the rogers setting in their web..

You didn't specify which ROM the Ace was running. If its a stock Samsung ROM, I'd expect it to ask for a code, but with CM7 or 9, it won't since those build lack some libraries to perform the actual unlock.
To get your code look into the bml5 method.

HTC Pure ST6356 wont SIM unlock

Maybe someone can help me. I have a Pure that is legit, and AT&T has given me the SIM unlock codes several times (yes - all my numbers are correct) but the SIM fails to unlock. So obviously I cannot use it off network. It works great on AT&T. I am down to my last available (#5) time and cannot find an answer, not can AT&T or the limited help from HTC. Anyone? Thanks

did u enter it wrong more than three times? if u did then the phone is possibly permanent locked to AT&T .. if you haven't enter it more than 3 times you can call AT&T to make sure that your unlock code matches your IMEI.. hope this helps
EDIT: if you stil have 5 tried.. you can call to make sure that ur IMEI is correct.. just call ATT and verify
