Hello Everyone,
Is there to unlock a tmobile g1 for free without having to call tmobile. Also if I do the spl thingy does it unlock it? Can someone tell me how to do it through the free way? Please let me know.
Thank You
Either pay for it or have a friend on Tmobile call in for ya. Please use the serach button as there have been many many many many many threads on this already.
no, you have to call tmo or pay for the service online, which can be expensive. rooting your phone does not unlock it. there is no free way other than calling tmobile.
What about this?
Hello Everyone,
But it says in this one that it can be. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464668.
Can someone tell me then what that is and how to do it? Please let me know.
Thank You

That post is incorrect. All it does is ROOT. It does not unlock the phone. You have to call TMO or pay for an unlock service.

I don't get it..?
Btw, you wont have to re-enter your unlock code when you flash a new ROM, as the rom doesn't affect it at all...
Original question(s) seem to be solved.
Closing thread
Does anyone know if there is work going on for a custom recovery (TWRP) for our phone? We do have a one click root solution now (Kingo) so I imagine there will be some Dev's who will start popping up. I would love to bring it to our phone but I would have no idea where to even begin and I know little to nothing about dev'ing.
I believe you do know that we have a locked bootloader! That being said, im sure big devs are looking to unlock or even bootstrape it. Check the progress done on bootstrape for Verizon Note 3

HA! No. I really didn't know that. The first Android phone I got (Evita) had root & unlocked bootloader available on XDA when I bought it. This is the first "new" Android phone that hasn't had that and I guess I thought we only needed Root...duh. Well I guess I should have put this in the "stupid" questions thread!!! Thanks for the info!

Hi guys,
Got my hands on a note 3 that is now apparently has a bad IMEI... . I was wondering if it is possible to unlock a note 3 from ATT that has a blocked IMEI? I looked through several unlock services online and all of them will not do blocked IMEIs...
If I can unlock it, I can use it outside of the USA.
Your help is much appreciated! Thank you!
[Updates few days later after original post]
So buying a code end up not working... it said "failed"
I decided to root the phone using the "Root De La Vega" method.
And then use Region lock Away and was able to unlock the phone! Now I am using it with Bell Mobility in Canada.
So if anyone in the future end up with a AT&T N900A Note 3 that has a bad IMEI, they can try the method I used.
Hope this helps, thank you!
You can sim unlock it and use it on another carrier

Hi,
yeah thats what I wanted to do! Just a sim unlock. But several companies say they are unable to provide sim unlock services for phone that has a block IMEI.. However, i think I have found one that is willing to do it!
I will report back if it works... Thank you for replying!

Hi,
But I need to root the note 3 first right to use the region unlock app? I thought the Chain Fire CF auto root thing doesn't support N900A? I went on the website http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ and couldn't find one for N900A... read it some where about boot leggers...no idea what that means lol.

if you are familiar with iOS, rooting is the same thing as jailbreaking basically.
a lot of people have been using Kingo to root theirs. you can ask around for help, but doing do will void your warranty so you might just want to pay for the unlock.

Hello. I have an AT&T S5 that is currently unlocked and I am using it with T-Mobile. I would love to root it and put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, as I put it on my nexus 4 before this and loved it. they say on the http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Klte_Info page not to use this guide due to the boot image signing. Does anyone have any information/instructions on how to go about completing this? Thanks!

OK, so I dont want to sound rude so forgive me if I do. but a search in the forums would show you that CM/AOSP/AOKP will not run on an AT&T S5 due to locked bootloader

I've also seen a lot of stuff about unlocking bootloaders on AT&T s5's though, so I was wondering if it is possible somehow.

unfortunately the BL will likely never be unlocked so the chances are extremely slim we will ever see a nything but touchwiz roms.

You can unlock the bootloader on other versions of the Galaxy S5 but you can't unlock the bootloader for the AT&T and Verizon version of the Galaxy S5.
maybe someone can actually get cm11 working for this device i once intalled it using safestrap and it booted touch and everything work but the screen didnt show anything

NO. You can't. On top of that, you posted this in the wrong section.
(Q) Questions don't go in Development.
This question is about two or three years old almost. Dude, almost all of At&t phones have LOCKED BOOTLOADERS and we will never be able to get passed it. NEVER EVER EVER,,,,,,,,Buy a T-Mobile phone!

NO. Someone wont. You go right ahead and keep flashing files, your phone is going to die. I wouldn't be flashing just whatever to see if it works. That's not a very good idea.

OK, just to clear this up one last time.
1. We can not install custom kernels, Stock TW kernels are not compatible with CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's
2. the flashing process although it will complete does not mean the ROM will run.
3. There is (currently) no way to circumvent these issues.
4. SafeStrap will NOT flash kernels only the file system.
Some S5 and S5A devices (international models, Tmobile, Sprint) to name a few have unlocked BootLoaders
those devices can and do run CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's. AT&T has a Locked BootLoader
I really don't mean to sound condescending however this device is fast approaching it's first birthday and many many people have tried to run CM or CM derivitives on the AT&T device, there are tons of threads cluttering the development forums in regards to this issue continuing to attempt to install a CM Build and then posting here in the AT&T forums is at this time a pointless effort.
Using the search feature either ein Goolge or in the forums will provide all the answers you need.
Thank you,

Well, one can only hope! :laugh::laugh:
In defense of the OP, it's pretty confusing that there's the Unified Development subforum which shows up under the AT&T section... I've been wondering why there's all these threads in a subforum to AT&T talking about installing all these roms that I know shouldn't work. I figured it was just something more involved than I'm comfortable with so I've ignored it. It seems like until the AT&T BL is unlocked that we shouldn't even have the Unified section linked here.

You have to unlock it. If you have an AT&T device it's locked.
This is the reason I'm using my upgrade to get a Nexus 6.

hate to burst your bubble but if you get the nexus 6 from AT&T it will also have a locked bootloader it is up in the air on whether or not it will be able to be unlocked. the only safe way to gaurentee an unlocked bootloader is to buy the nexus 6 unbranded direct from google.

im merely pointing out that everything i have read has pointed to it being locked (not that it cant be unlocked mind you) AT&T rarely sends devices with the bootloader unlocked whether or not you can unlock them is a different story. i merely stated that "From what i had read" sorry for the confusion
EDIT: in fact here is the thread stating it comes from AT&T locked but is unlockable
bl
and if at&t will want they can unlock BL right? or is there any way to ask them bl unlock?

Samsung will not unlock your bootloader and from what I understand you could not load an international ROM anyways because of the way the partition is laid out differently between the phones. Who knows though, I could be wrong.
