I paid unlockitnow.com for an unlock code for my g1 3days ago, and I have yet to receive anything!!! I haven't gotten any response from the many email tickets I've sent either. On the site it says it only takes 6 to 24hrs for delivery, but i'm past that point. My imei number for this phone is MOD EDIT and the only reason I chose this service is because I thought it would be faster than contacting Tmobile and wait for them to send me an email. If anyone knows how to get results from unlockitnow.com, or have a better idea as to how I can get this thing unlocked, I'm all ears. THANKS
this has NOTHING to do with development of the G1. If you post in the general section you might get more of a response.
Q, why pay for an unlock code when all of the info is here on how to unlock your g1 for free? lol
I've been looking
I've been looking all over the site,but there is so much information on a lot of different things, I tend to get lost. Please point me in the right direction PLEASE! I'm not new to unlocking phones, but this one is something totally different.

This is a SIM unlock....not an unlock to be able to root and install modded ROMs. But, regardless, this should not be in the Development forum. It would be good if this thread is moved.
You can get the unlock code from tmobile for free,
Please read.
Mod please move this thread.
in before the lock

why bump this?
just more clutter
your beat dude should never pay for something you can get for free. and why is it xda's problem cause you went to an unauthorized site to unlock your phone when you could get one after 90 days for free from t-mobile?
you don't even have to wait 90 days
just call cust. service, tell them you need your phone unlocked because your going to europe/asia/wherever..international, and your trip is in a week or 2, they'll ask for your IMEI, and in a few days (I've always gotten it within 24 hours) you will have your unlock code.
just make sure they wrote down the correct IMEI, with my last phone they ****ed the numbers up and I had to find a supervisor to get my request through since once you request an unlock code you can't ask get another request for 90 days.
I never understand why people go through those unlock sites when you can get the code straight from your provider, it may take a bit of social hacking but that's not hard at all.
just to let you know how easy it was i called t mob for mine yesterday and it went like this
me: hello i would like to get a sim unlock code for my g1
rep: please hold let me get you to the right department
me: thank you
2nd rep: how may i help you
me: i would like to get a sim unlock code for my g1
2nd rep: i need to verify the last 4 of your ssn
me: ok here it is blah blah blah
2nd rep: thank you can i please get the imei code
me: ok here it is blah blah blah
2nd rep: what email address would you like this sent to
me: ok here it is blah blah blah
2nd rep: it will take up to a week to process
me: ok
2nd rep: anything else i can help with
me: no

How will we know when it's available at AT&T ? Do they usually have a press release or something ? Should I just call the store periodically ?

Logic needed?
AT&T isn't going to send you a text message, they aren't going to call you, and they aren't going to show up at your home or work. You'll know when the Tilt/8925 is released with AT&T when it's either a) Posted here, b) You call or visit an AT&T store every day until it's released, or c) You visit AT&T's website until you see something posted on this particular subject.

Ok just got off the phone with HTC-americas main dealer and this is what he said after doing some checking. ATT gets it 1st witch we all knew already. Also it showed a Launch date of sept again we knew this.
With a bit more checking he said it showed in his comp that They will be selling it on the 14th with orders going out on the 18th meaning the 11th date could very well be the date ATT goes live with theres.
Again this is right from HTC sales site so info sould be correct.

Im awaitin on that there text mesage that that racer dude is sending out hehe no search needed.......man I wish someone would post something about the availibility of that kaiser phone....hehe what a funny post that was.

Yup...really sick of my 8125..been browsing every site multiple times a day trying to find a hint of the actual release. Really itching to get this phone!
Are some of you people stupid, or are you unable to read.
My question had NOTHING to do with "when will it be available"
My question had EVERYTHING to do with "what sort of notification will there be"
I'm merely looking for some input from people who have been around for previous phone launches (8125,8525) and have experience with
how AT&T did their release.

Writing things like that to people who are experienced with phone launches is not the way to invite their help. You asked for advice and they gave it. Can't we all just get along? We are all excited with the release of such a marvelous creation
Btw...Hello fellow members!
Here let me put this a way you can understand then.
You will know when you see it up on there site. If you dont know where to look then just ask rather then being a Jackass about it. on the ATT site click support then forums there is a section called announcements it will be post there.
Also you can visit the HTC americas site to see when its live here. Noone is going to hold your hand and txt call or whatever you when its avil you will eather A. have to wait till someone takes pity on you and post here or B. be a big boy and learn to check there sites for yourself.

Rule #422 dont be an asshole. If you post a question such as this at a time like this it is bound to go off topic at some point. However calling people "stupid" or say they cant read just makes you sound like an idiot yourself. Speaking as a fellow noob, I will say that this site has been the best resource I have found anywhere...period. So my advice is dont be rude simply because it went off topic.
Now in regard to your question on at&t previous launches, they suck. I followed the 8125 for a while but was new and didnt really know what I was missing so I at least wasnt losing my mind. The 8525 on the other hand was a different story, lost my freaking mind. I watched several supposed launch dates come and go and it was finally released in November. My way of dealing with this is just have fun with it, trust that it will be worth it, and save some extra cash back while waiting. I personally dont believe we'll see it as soon as everyone thinks though. I hope Im wrong but you could just call it a gut feeling.

Trust me, you will know when AT&T releases this phone! With so much hype just about the rumor dates, imagine when it finally gets released. You won't even have to check their website or visit a store, you will just about see it everywhere.
I hope that it doesn't cost a but load for the service. think Tmobile will get it any time in the next two years? I like Tmobile because I can tweak my plan and have more freedom it feels like; off topic, yes, but why not chat since nobody knows the answer to the thread other than soon
well - in the SF Bay area a rep checked and said she couldnt say when it was going to be released.. after a little pressing she mentioned end of the month was all she could say.
for all its worth
I was speaking with an HTC US customer service rep about my new TYTN II that I had just received and he said "did you know AT&T is releasing it on Oct 1?"
for what it's worth
There is a small link at the HTCDEV site on the Lower right corner that reads:
Tell us what you want.
Lets go Guys all you have to put there is : unlock the AT&T HTC Vivid !!!!!
Just everytime you remember. go and write that in there and hit send. maybe they will get tired of hearing this and unlock it.
You can throw in a little " You Liars!!!!" in there if you like.

I'm convinced AT&T will not let them unlock it no matter what. Some think it has to do with tethering. No root = no tethering = better for AT&T.
According to my contact at HTC, the whole issue is that HTCDEV.com is a 'sign up for' deal. Basically AT&T hasnt been specifically lying when they say ' we didnt ask them to lock it ', its more, 'we didnt say OK to them unlocking it'....
We need to beat up the bastards at AT&T. I want a copy of that damn agreement they have, since it would show that AT&T has been specifically manipulating the public with fake statements.

Also, I heard that when you use HTCDev, if it works or not, they void your warranty. Is this true? I honestly doubt it's LEGAL to void your warranty if your bootloader is locked.. if this is true, **** HTC forever, and hi Samsung.
I went to it and summited it and then hit the back button summited it again like 100 times already lol I will keep on too don't know if it does anything but if it does all they will see for hundreds of comments is
Vivid unlock boot loader thank you
Vivid unlock boot loader thank you ......

I think they have more on their mind like why they lost 30% market value last quarter.
I say like the phone for what it is, go figure out how to root it yourself, or just buy a samsung.
This is it vivid is gone! !!

I must say, the longer I have this phone the more I like it, much more than the samsung, this is a nice piece of hardware

......What? I downloaded PDANet right from the android market on my unrooted Vivid and used it to tether... So I'm gonna say that's not it
i'm new to htcdev and this is probably a stupid question but they have instructions for unlocking the boot loader on phones, does it just not work on the Vivid?
No... when you try to go through the unlock process at the very end you receive the following message: error 170: CID is not allowed
I don't know how strict people are about "searching" things before posting on the forums, but I rather get yelled at by some nerd on the internet, than to have my $350 device screwed over because I followed the wrong tutorial. Anyways here are my questions:
1) I bought this device from someone brand new, and it came out of the box configured to work with Windmobile, but I was able to get my FIDO SIM card to work by simply inputting it into the device. So does this mean that my device is already unlocked?
2) I still have the old 2.2 version on my phone, and I want the new version (2.3), but since I cannot update the OS from the device itself, I don't know what method I should follow from my computer, also I am afraid that I might lose my unlock (if it is) with the update.
Please link me to the proper tutorial, or give me some insight on my problem, Thank you.
Aint this community lovely, 160 views, yet no replies. Well I guess it is still better than spam and calling each other names.

Hello,
I have paid nearly a thousand dollars for the note 8. I have also bought 4 cases with two screen protectors. The total reaches up to 1100$. Despite paying all this money for a phone, I cant do whatever I want to with it because I don’t have the OEM unlock option. I have nearly read all of the 225 page about OEM unlock for Exynos through this month. I have already signed with google, Samsung. I already waited more than 9 days with no boots but with no luck.
My suggestion to solve the OEM unlock option :
Donating money for any developer who is willing to try solving this mystery. I already paid about 1100$ for this phone and I am willing to pay a little extra to root it and to install custom roms whenever I want.
I am starting with myself. I am donating a 25$ as a start for anyone who is willing to take the challenge. What do you guys think? Are you willing to donate for anyone who are willing to try to solve the issue?
To keep things clear, I suggest that a moderator to open a thread for this subject where anyone willing to donate sees his name and the amount of his donation, so that we can know the approximate amount of donation money or a moderator can do whatever he wants as long as everything clear to us.
This thread is intended to check if people may want to donate money for anyone who may want to solve the issue of OEM, so If you got lucky with the OEM unlock option, please do NOT post your experience here, post it in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/info-note-8-exynos-n950f-fd-oem-unlock-t3673140
Thanks
This is a good idea, i'm willing to donate 30 EURO.
I don't know what to say. I paid just as much for this phone knowing full well that root or an unlocked bootloader might not ever happen. I made that choice knowing that there are or would be phones nearly as capable as the Note 8 that would have root or an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks for the reply. To be honest, I don't know how the developers will do that. As long as they can do it whether with your way or their way, that would be great.
I am ready to pay.
I am willing to pay up to $50 or even more if that would solve our issue
solve what issue?
OEM unlock wont give you root or anything else..
Can you complete it? Is it Exynos or Snapdragon? Imo all Exynos chips have OEM unlock but we have the " 7 days " jail time. And we also have those impatient fooks who keeps on flashing sht on their phones then complain " Its been 500 years, I still dont the have OEM toggle "
I myself waited for 7 full days. 1st flash of TWRP was unsuccessful because of the " only official binaries are allowed " thing. So I went back to sleep and updated my phone ( samsung released a security update ). Woke up and decided to try it again ( The FRP and OEM were off even tho the OEM toggle in dev option is gone ) then BOOM!! I didnt expect it to succeed, my phone restarted and Odin indicated that the flash was successful so I immediately pressed buttons for TWRP and everything went good after that. Now I have TWRP+Renovate Ice+Magisk+Xposed.
I think the update from sasmung fixed the " Official binaries " thing

I am talking about Exynos. Members have different experiences here. No one have the absolute answer for this mystery, otherwise ; that topic won't reach 230 pages if replies, and I wouldn't open this thread.
This is just me but if my OEM unlock was refusing to show up after one week I would get a thread going and compare notes with affected devices alone There are one or more things you are all doing, software you are running, somthing, which is affecting your ability to get OEM unlock. Figure that out and you're home free.

Imho it got to 230 pages because most people complain first before they read and or have flashed something before even waiting for 7 full days. And mostly of the first pages is the discovery of the 7 days jail time. It would have been lesser that 230 if they have read first and have been patient
Have you fully updated your phone btw?
Use only 1 sim?
Got the phone from another country?
Never flashed anything on it?
Im currently using SM-N950F/DS btw

- The phone was fully updated.
- I used two sims the first 10 days, then when OEM didn't appear, I removed one.
- I got it from the same country.
- During the first 10 days, I did nothing except for showing developers option. I waited 10 days but OEM didn't appear. After this, I flashed different stock rom, and now I am waiting. My up time is 66 hours now and I am using one sim. If no solution was descoverd, I can report at 168 hours (7 days).
By the way, I nearly read all the 235 pages. I have a friend who has his OEM appeared out of the box, he bought his phone from another country.

it seems that people don't want to spend money for it. we have 15 voters : 8 with paying money, and 7 with not paying money. if there are more people, we can try to nudge him to take a look.
I´ll pay US$50, for an OEM unlock option to be avaiable upon flashing any ROM so that we don´t have to wait for the 7 day period to everytime we want to root or wipe or flash CSC.

Yes US $50 is about right to avoid this oem switch. The fact that we our boot loader is not completely locked..
i am willing to add $50 to get out this NO-OEM jail on N950FD.... i can't believe i got tricked into this samcircus .... i am debating myself if i have to sell this device & get s8 duos instead..
I made an account just now for the sole purpose of replying to this thread;
I will donate money towards this, probably the same as others ($50) I didn't buy my Note 8 to be restricted
Guys hope all of you doing good.. Be careful and check before buying used mobiles.
My wife she bought MI 9T PRO through facebook marketplace which they sold very low price. She used that mobile for few days then the device went into bootloop. Then i did factory reset which went into locked screen and ask for unlock code. Only im able to connect with Wifi which is no use. The seller didn't provide any MI Acccount details or any mobile number which associated with MI Account. We asked his help but he told that last year he bought from some other person who's unreachable as of now.
Note: Its not stolen or lost mobile. We paid for that thats why struggling to fix it. Its our mistake that we are careless when buying used mobile. Lesson learned
I did my best to fix it by myself. Here is Error list and its going to be big challenge for me to bring back the device to life.
RAPHEAL GLOBAL VERSION 12.0.4.0
RECOVERY VERSION 3.0
I GUESS MAJOR ISSUE IS FIND DEVICE ON
1. MI FLASH TOOL
Cannot flash "Find Device On" and "Use Authorized Account".
2. BOOTLOADER LOCKED
Error: Cannot receive token to unlock bootloader. (Fastboot working). So i cannot flash TWRP to do complete wipe
3. MI UNLOCK TOOL - Fail at 99% because i try using different account to unlock (I dont have current MI account details)
4. QFIL (QUELCOMM FLASH TOOL) - EDL MODE
I used TEST POINTS to go into EDL MODE and try to flash old version, new version so many times. Only 2 minutes QFIL flash results "DOWNLOAD COMPLETED". After i turn on the device still its lock protected.
5. MAGIC BOX TOOL WITHOUT DONGLE- EDL MODE
Simply Its not working for me and throw errors. Please help me if you know how to use it properly for Mi 9t pro.
6. I.MI.COM
I submit application there but i didnt get any response until now. I dont know that MI CLOUD will help to or not because we are third owner.
7. UNLOCK SERVICES ONLINE
I read some topics about the same kind of issues they recommend to use kind of russian forums which i dont know exact site and im scared to be a victim again.
8. BYPASS TOOLS
More tools on internet i tried but nothing seems to be working. Always i get error and failed. "Hello packet issues in Mi unlock bypass tools".
9. NO AUTH FIREHOSE PATCH FILES
i found some firehose no auth files which doesnt help me to resolve the issues.
10. DOWNGRADE OR UPGRADE VERSIONS
I dont have idea that which tool i have to use for complete flash.
11. ADB
ADB Not working on fastboot. Im not sure adb enabled or disabled.
12. I dont have any FLASH TOOL BOX or DONGLES to try any other advanced methods.
Guys help me and guide me. Im struggling almost one week to fix this issue. Now covid19 pandemic so i cannot bring it to the service centers which may be expensive.
Sorry for my grammar mistakes, typo errors. I hope you guys understand the issues. Hoping for the best.
you need to email Xiaomi global, if they don't accept, email them again until they do, most likely your seller sold you a stolen device, btw don't waste your time trying to fix it yourself, I highly doubt it will work.
and also accept the fact that your 9t pro may never be functional again...
here is an example of what you could email them

Hello brother. Thank you for your reply. I thought nobody will respond my thread because long time i didnt get any reply. As you said i sent email before one week but service.global refused to unlock my mobile. They told me to submit application at i.mi.com which i tried before 15 days. I didnt get response from i.mi.com.
Yesterday i contact them again. They told me to contact any service centers with purchase receipt. Also they gave another email ID which is xiaomi service in my county. I dont know that they want to help or not. Im confused and xiaomi customer service not good enough to give appropriate solution. I dont know whats next
You need an authorised account to flash in EDL mode. The average Joe cannot use Qualcomm tools on this phone. There are people who will remotely connect to your PC and perform the MIUI flash for you, using their own authorised account. They will charge around USD $20, but sometimes as high as $40.
@Robbo.5000 . Thank you for your information brother. It has active find device status thats why i cannot flash with an authorized account. I believe it will relock again and our 40$ which we spend will be useless. Please let me know if its not true. Please Share with me if you know any solution for lost mode xiaomi device.

You can ask on the K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro telegram channel for contact details of someone that can do this.

We were scammed by seller that I already mentioned in my post. Please learn to respect people here bro. Hope u understand that this forum is not for fighting or disrespect others. You have lot of posts here and you are senior member in this forum but u dont know how to comment without hurting others. If you cannot help pls stay away bro. Keep in mind that THINKERS ARE DOERS. PLEASE RESPECT OTHERS.

Find cops if you are saying you got scammed.
Even if you are the victim, Xiaomi has no responsibility to help for illegal acts. You need legal force to make Xiaomi unlock it for you.
Xiaomi will help if you have purchase receipt.

Yes, i complain already local police station. but the seller already deleted his fb account. They said he used fake credentials and nowadays more scam online. They told me to send mail to xiaomi and inform this issue so they will contact the owner and come back to you. But the reality nothing happened. Xiaomi said they cannot help regarding this issue. Seller sent the item through cash on delivery motorcycle rider delivery service. The rider service just pickup the item at any location and deliver to the destination. The seller was wearing a face mask so the rider couldn't be able to look at his face. I followup and go through the formalities and i spend my time and effort on that. Finally everybody advise me and they told me to be careful next time. Thats why im here to ask for help. If i cant fix it then i leave the device on my shelf until i find solution. I spent money on that so im hoping for the best to happen. Its ok if the owner contact me ill return the device if its really lost.
Wow, let me tell you.
Blackhawk isnt trying to disrespect you or anything, yes he is a long time member of XDA so what.
He is rightfully able to be suspicious as people do it a lot here.
XDA cannot instruct you to unlock a locked phone if it is done by illegal means.
You can just take it to the centre and get it unlocked by xiaomi by providing proof of ownership
If you have the original box or you should just take it to xiaomi repair centre and explain to them.
Blackhawk is a pretty nice xda member and pretty much my only friend on here lmao.
He is giving you more respect then you deserve right now for outlashing at him because he is rightfully suspicious.
Your circumstances are very suspicious.
We have every right not to help you or to help you. He came here on his own to try help you and you are acting like this?
Hmm?

Pls read my post and know first that i have box or ownership. I told clearly in my post that we bought used mobile online and we received like this. When i open the parcel i dont get charger or any other box along with the item. Everybody bringing the free advice and im thankful for that. I defend with the previous comment because he try to accuse me that my firsr thread is all about stolen mobile. He also mentioned that return it to the owner it seems all of u trying to accuse me. Thats why i request all of u that if u have solution just post in my thread so i will go through that. Don't put me down or make me feel guilty for what happened to us. I understand what you coming to say and thank you for that.
Also I favout Xiaomi MIUI account protection as that only initaties if factory reset was done by going to the recovery menu and resetting.
It would not ask if it was reset normally.
So it means that someone had reset the phone without unlocking it normally and going to settings, I doubt the person who sold the phone even knew who had it. It is stolen definitely, if that seller bought it the person who sold it to them would have done the reset the right way.
This post is just all wrong and you won't be able to fix it.
Don't post threads on here asking people for help in potentially illegal and implicating others in your problem there.
I cannot even express how bad it would be if you got caught and they found that someone helped you unlock a stolen phone?
Don't you know when you were trying to unlock it the original owner could track the IMEI with the police?
The IMEI cannot be changed on your phone since the bootloader is locked.
If you are legitimately saying the truth then you don't need to worry, but if you have stolen it then it is only a matter of time before the police knock on your door.
AND FINALLY
XDA Developers forums do not endorse any type of potentially illegal activity and will take strict actions against people who are part of it.
XDA Rule No.1

Okay fine, but all that's is to inform the police to track if it is stolen.
Maybe you'll get your money when they find the culprit who scammed you.
We cannot help you unlock a phone that is protected by factory data protection, it is there for a reason and we cannot violate the rule that it was placed there for.
And the fact that it could implicate us in legal stuff is something we don't need during these times

Please read his first comment. He said return it to the owner so it will work. I know It happened in our life that we were scammed by seller. Its our fault that we didnt meet the person and we didnt check the item before make payment. For that no need to put me down for asking help. Its ok if there is no solution. We accept that is loss and we learnt to be careful from that.

just talk to the cyberpolice?
They'll even find and return your money.
Unless you cant.
The local police wont do anything, i advise you to call the cyberpolice.
They can find him even if he deletes his ‘credentials’
