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

[Q] unrooted at&t note 3 tethring -unlocked phone

Hello all
I have an unrooted at&t note 3 unlocked by att
I am on the unlimited data plan and I can not tether. I tried searching google for a way to have tethering work without rooting but I was not successful in my search.
My quedtions to the experts are
1- can I get tethering to work with my att galaxy note 3 without rooting? How?
2- what are the 3rd party apps that you trust that would give me tethering for free?
3- if the only way to tether is rooting then what is the best and safiest way to do it? I am new to this and never rooted. So I would like to know the ups and downs if I did this and if its reversable and if I would continue to receive updates to the phone and the apps in it. I am asking becuase with iphone when you jailbreak you cant update anymore.
4- what is the diffrence between sim lock and regional lock? I ask becuase my phone was unlocked by att to be able to use it with other sim carriers when I was in the middle east. So is my phone sim unlocked or regionally unlocked and how to know?
Thank you so much and I am so sorry if these quedtions were answered before. But I really tried to search before I asked and with my limitd knowladge about this I did not know how.
Thank you again and looking forward to your answers.

[Q] Sim unlock on i8200

Hi,
Has anyone managed to unlock a S3 mini VE phone on android 4.2.2 at all ?? As everything I have read on the Internet seems to be for the other S3 Mini model (i8190) and it doesn't work on the VE model
The servicemenu you can get up by using *#9090# but then using the MENU key and selecting [BACK] followed by MENU key [INPUT] then type 1 and then MENU key and select [BACK] again doesn't display any options, therefore I cannot continue the remainder of what would be the (I am guessing) the same procedure as for the previous model by selecting UTMS etc etc
Has anyone managed to work out the correct key sequence for display the UTMS option ?? Or can detail the steps required to SIM unlock an S3 mini VE version.
I stated above, I have trawled the web quite extensively ahead of writing this, but cannot seem to track down the correct info.
Any help is greatly received.

I know you can get an unlock code for it on UnlockBase here: https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3-mini-value-edition/ but they also have a lot of great info on all you need to know about actually unlocking your phone on that page too. Good luck, hope this helps!

Thank you for this, but my intention was to unlock the device without having to pay a 3rd party if possible. I live in the UK and therefore I can call the network provider and unlock the device, but if there is an easy way to undertake this without paying, then obviously I would prefer that...

Hello
Please tell me which is the most reliable online network unlocking site for an ee uk z3compact ?
I've been to shops but they ask like £ 45/60 for unlocking and they do it the same by using internet sites ....

Thanks!

Do you mean
unlock=root or
unlock=boot loader or
unlock=phone from a specific carrier?

He said network unlocking.I think he means unlock phone from specific carrier.

The last one unlock=phone from a specific carrier and the carrier is EE uk !

Can you post a screen what are the values for your SIM LOCK?
in the phone dialer enter *#*#7378423#*#* (SERVICE)
Enter Service info > SIM Lock

Network is 5 so is not blocked , the unlock counter is not 0 !

I've been reading up a little on this, and found out that there not so many tools to force unlock the phone without an unlock code.
Also reports of using tools for HTC/Samsung (could not find any Sony related) not correctly (or sometimes correctly) resulted in a HARD bricked device.
So I suggest to get that unlock code, so you'll be on the safe side.

Yes I'm asking what is the best site to buy the unlock code ???
Which is the most used by the xda developers users ......?

I never used it, hence I always buying already unlocked phones.
My friend used this site to unlock his T-mobile GS4 and it worked.

Ok thanks , unfortunately I've used another site ... hope is ok , I will let you know.

Today I got the unlock code , all worked 100%.

[Q] Unlock after rooting - is that possible?

So, my friend just bought a Galaxy S6 from T-Mo. Nice device and all.
But... she only speaks a bit of english. Her major language is portuguese, so I installed a custom ROM to enable full portuguese translation. Unfortunately, she called me today about her SIM card.
Her device, right now, is rooted and tied to T-Mo. As the operator states in its website...
Device not recognized by your service provider. Please call customer care. Rooting your device will disable the unlock application
Download the latest T-Mobile software to continue

Also, from the Play Store description...
Device Unlock is an application that allows you to request and apply a Mobile Device Unlock directly from the device. The application is compatible only with Samsung Avant devices at this time.

(she just realized that the phone was locked after she bought the nano SIM, which took 72~96h after the ROM flash, last tuesday, so no way to detect it)
So, four questions:
1) Am I able to unroot and retry the operation? (using, of course, T-mo stock ROM)
2) Does KNOX Status interfere something on it? and...
3) There is a way to request the unlock code from T-Mo?
4) According to Play Store comments, no one succeded in unlocking the device using this "tool". Even Samsung Avant's owners. Is that confirmed?
Thanks in advance.

.......I was able to unlock my phone after rooting and then returning to stock. Even stranger is I still owe $297 on my EIP. The app worked and says I'm permanently unlocked. I have no idea why it worked.

T-Mo said that the phone needs to be activated on the network (IDK if it was at least once, I think it was something like that).
Because this phone never saw the color of a T-mo SIM card, in fact. So it's a 50% chance of going totally wrong.

Update on the case:
for now, phone is still locked.
When I try to use the T-Mobile Device Unlock app, it says that "Server is not responding". IDK what to do anymore.
Downloading MetroPCS ROM to see if I can do anything about it... but no luck until now.
