Hey gang.
As the title of this thread reads: Is the bootloader in the German Vodafone Nexus One unlockable, just like the Nexus One you order from Google.com, or is the Vodafone version locked down to prevent people from rooting?
Oh, and I tried a quick search but I could not find any info on the subject, other than that the UK version of the Vodafone Nexus One is unlockable.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
I would imagine that it should be possible.
But i have a question for you as i live in australia and roumor has it that vodafone has the rights to sell the nexus one here.
Do vodafone put their logo anywhere on the nexus one? Like above the screen? or does it only have Google and HTC on the back?
Thanks

Based on http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/google-nexus-one?phoneView=ImageGallery , it looks like it comes without any additional branding.
AFAIK, there's no way to "software lock" the bootloader of Nexus One further than it is.
it is the same unmodified phone, no difference to the us or uk version apart from the build number.

Hello,
Has anyone bought their Nexus One from the Developer Store? If so, how much did you pay?
I can only find it on Pixmania/Expansys and it's around €520. I don't think it's worth that since the Desire is €419 on Vodafone and they're pretty much the same phone...
Thanks,
Keith
I bought mine in January or Febuary (2009) in the states for $529. I've heard that they are the same price sold as the "developer" version.

You bought the N1 in 2009? I bet a typo.
If you did buy the Dev version, did they give you an option between the AWS version and AT&T version?
Thanks people for your input. I bought a Desire in the end. I'll prob load a stock Android ROM in a few weeks (see what gingerbread offers)
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

The AT&T version is no longer available from Google.
The developer version is T-Mobile banded.
Heya folks, sorry if there is a post semi like this one, i honestly did search and didnt see anything remotely the same..
ordered my HD7 and it's arriving monday, but when i was browsing this site i noticed a lot of posts are about tmobile versions of the updates.. i was just wondering,
does the phone not get generic updates due it been on tmobile?
because the phone is unlocked and is stated to be region free.. if i update firmware will it be likely to lock again? (i use o2 UK)
if it will lock, how do i prevent/unlock again/unlock permanently?
Thanks in advance, sorry if these are "nooby" questions, first windows phone and first phone from america..

Hello,
I want to know what's the best store to buy an unlocked Nexus 6 in Italy, specifically in the following places: Palermo, Catanzaro Lido, Bari and Rome. I tried MediaWorld.it but they only sell it on internet, wich i can't afford since it has to strictly be bought with cash on the store.
Thanks in advance.

By unlocked, I'm assuming you mean SIM unlocked. As far as I am aware, only AT&T USA lock Nexus 6 devices. I don't believe any International version (Opposite of North American version) are locked.

Hi All
Apologies as this have probably come up loads but i can't get the "reassurance" i need to do it.
Basically i am the proud owner of the p10 via vodfone uk ... i am looking at maybe unlocking the phone (I know this can be done) but the outcome i want is for it to essentially be stock or in other words as if i purchased an unlocked P10 on amazon for example.
The reason for this is i would like quicker access to updates in Europe rather than wait for the carrier to arrange them. The software from vodafone UK doesn't seem to be as smooth as when i see reviews based on unlocked phones ? some micro stuttering in the app draw and chrome seems to run badly. I know some phones shipped with slower onboard storage but mine was a shade under 800 mbs when i checked so all OK on that front.
So once i have unlocked the phone how do i then make the phone as if its a standard unlocked model ... suspect it would involve flashing a new ROM ? I am sticking with Vodafone for now so is an unlock code even needed? could i flash a stock rom other the vodafone software ?
Many thanks in advance

Hello Guys,
I bought a pixel 5 from the Ebay . It's my mistaken to choose "locked phone" (T-mobile carrier).
When it arrived to Thailand, I cannot use it.
Is there anyway to unlock it ?
Thank you so much.

Ebay doesn't let you refund by any chance?
I have no luck. It does not change.

You can try to get in touch with T-Mo support on Twitter to unlock it. Here's a thread about it. Seems they are actually quite helpful.

There are also some services online that will help you unlock your phone. You'll have to pay for it, but I'm not sure of the cost since I've never had to do it. Here's a link to one service, but you can probably go online and find others.
