Unlocking G1? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
This is my first post, as I just got my hands on an HTC G1, but now need to unlock it to use with my provider (Telus in Canada).
If anyone could help out, or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!
Looking forward to Android!!!!
Thanks in advance

I bought an unlock code just a few days ago off a seller on that famous e-auction site. 8 bucks. Everything done in an hour.

Alpines and Himalayas, suddenly I feel a lack of oxygen at these mountainous heights.
Does HTC in Taiwan have high mountains?

Calling T-Mobile for G1 Unlock

Hey there guys. Please don't be angry for making another ****ty "how to unlock G1" thread. I wanted to post in the recent one, but i guess it got closed.
Well here is my question. I'm about to trade my TyTn II for G1. The problem is that the G1 is bought in Austria(T-Mobile) and i live in Slovenia. If i'm gonna call T-Mobile what should i say? My english isn't all that great, but i think i can handle it. The only problem is, if they are gonna speak German...
Lets say, they speak english. What should i say? I don't think you just say:" hey could you give me the code to unlock my G1?"
Maybe i'm a little annoying, but if there is anyone who is willing to help, i will be very grateful.

Think the policy is a lil different in other countries other than the US. We would normally say we are going out of the country so we need to unlock it to use an alternate sim. But in the UK they charge a fee unless you have been a customer for over a certain amount of time. I know its alot longer than the 90 days we have.
So there is no way to unlock it?
Edit: This is legit right? http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/
Cause if there isn't other way i'll just pay those 19€. That isn't so expensive.

My advice is buy one off eBay. Reasoning being, any website like that can make all the fake testimonies they want, and you could get screwed very easily. If you go to ebay you can choose a seller with good feedback who is clearly legit. I think I got mine from GSMcredits or something...

Thanks for the advice! That really helped me. I went to search over Ebay and found some interesting offers. And they are actually cheaper then the site i gave you link before!
Anyway, i think this is 100% legit, since this seller is very popular.

Calling T-Mobile only works if you are a current customer. If you aren't (and I assume that is the case) then find someone who is to call for you.

As long as they give you the correct code it will work on any G1, so you should be fine. That seller looks legit, due to the high rating too.

Thanks for the answer! I'm getting my G1 on Monday then!
Yay. I got my white G1 today and i bought a code of ebay from the guy mentioned few posts above. Payed 10€ and got the code within 15min. Phone is now unlocked and i can't be more satisfied! G1 is awesome
Sweet, I had to unlock mine the first week cuz tmobile gets bad service here. The first site you posted is where I got my code, so they are legit. And don't worry about rooting and flashing roms because it wont mess up your unlocked status.

Cool. Thanks for the info!
Just thought I'd add that I've (just) used the guy mentioned above (ebay profile link) to have my UK G1 unlocked and it worked just fine.
The code came within 10 minutes, tested and works OK.
Cheers,
Smiffy.

Could one of you beautifully clever people unlock my G1?

Hi All,
I recently bought a G1 off ebay...its locked to T-Mobile. I knew that when I bought it, however i have tried people who supply unlock codes and they cannot find the code for it!
Its really frustrating me! Is there not another way around this? Surely one of you can work something out I've seen you all do amazing things!!!
All the best,
//Serg
I had a few come backs with no unlock codes available from internet unlock suppliers as well. Then came across a site that did actually supply the service it offered -and unlock code was sent to my email address within 10 minutes.
If you do not get any postive - or quick fix answers, I will PM you tonight when I get home - I do not have the site details here at the office
Good luck
PM me as well..
Thanks!
great thanks that is much appreciated!
//serg
you can also buy codes off of ebay. i bought one and got it within hours and it worked perfectly! best of luck dude!

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 unlock

Can anyone recommend somewhere to unlock the X8 without having to take out a bank loan please?
Everywhere I have found so far costs a lot of money!
Any help appreciated! Thanks.

If you can root it you can unlock too I think try to search in X10 forums not ahve big differences from x10 mini pro
Not every site does the X8 though even if they do the X10\mini. Maybe it's because it's a newer phone? $40 to unlock a phone is too much!

bitye are you sure you can unlock it if you root the system? my wild guess is that the network lock trigger must be somewhere within the system, or at least the system can access it, therefore it pops up. does anyone know where this file can be found and how to edit it?
i've been searching the hell out of forums and never found any info relating to that. please share
I had my X8 unlocked by http://www.htccode.com/, was unlocked within 10 mins of payment
what network was your phone locked to?
did they send you software to unlock your phone with or did you send imei and they sent you an unlock code to enter
my phone was origionally locked to o2 - UK
did they send you software to unlock your phone with or did you send imei and they sent you an unlock code to enter?
basically they send you the software for the phone, but they do remote session you for a min, was a bit dubious at first but all was good
i tried that through someone else but didnt work and said remote dongle server not working, were you given credits to unlock? if so do you know how many you had/used to unlock?
they dealt with the unlock remotely, I just sat and waited till it was completed
well its worth a go for the price.
but i do advise u wait till online supports online, it cost me $40.00 USD initially see here http://www.htccode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3160
were they online today when you did it then?
it isnt working for me but then i only paid 20$ because thats the link i had, do u reckon i need to pay another 20$ to have a total of 30 credits?
they were online the night i done it, sorry i should have said that sooner, erm i'd suggest messaging them regaurding that, i'm sure you would be able to get it unlocked with the additional $20 :\
anyone know what the hours are for the live support on htc code?
For anyone in the UK
$40.00 USD = £25.1969 GBP at time of posting...
£25.82 through paypal to be more precise.
Hehe I have no idea get it unlocked in the end?
yeah should have it unlocked tomorrow, they sent me all the remote software stuff and all the login details, i'll report back tomorrow.

That's weird because I ordered from, after trying several other companies, and they refunded me straight away saying that the code is not available.

Dear Simon,
We are pleased to inform you that the unlock service for your:-
HTC One (IMEI: xxxxxxx........)
LOCKED TO THE NETWORK: 3, United Kingdom
which you purchased from the website we operate at:-
MOBILEUNLOCKS.CO.UK
at: 24th Apr 2013 19:48
is now ready for collection.
Please now read the rest of this email very carefully.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We expect to unlock your handset in the next few moments.
Once we have successfully unlocked your handset, we would really
appreciate it if you could simply tell us that it worked so that
we can keep our records up to date and measure our success......
like I say it worked for me, it might have been £16.99 but mine is working now
That's odd. I'm not doubting you it's just odd that isn't working for me. I'll try again. Thanks!
EDIT; Just placed a second order, let's see what happens.
Three actually have their own unlock services with their devices. Costs £15.32
Three.co.uk/unlock
So after about 10 orders, 10 refunds, 3 or 4 different services i kinda gave up for now. It seems that my particular handset is 'too new' and it's not listed on the databases.

Got it today bought it on gumtree. No idea how old but must be recent.
Thanks! Going try that.
So just yesterday I managed to get the phone unlocked. It seems that will take at least a month from the date of purchase until the code gets released.
