i called telus (it's a carrier/network provider here in canada) and gave my iemi, it's their.

Hi,
I bought a tytn2 through ebay. It was simlocked to '3' UK. I had no problem using the phone with my '3' simcard. Then i wanted to use the phone with other carriers. I used the unlocking software posted by pof and i unlocked it successfully. But when i put in other simcards, the phone says no service. This includes the '3' sim that initailly worked. After some investigation, I found that the tytn2 imei had been changed to 35519500000001701 (apparently blacklisted in UK), which is different from the one when I bought the phone. When i search the imei online, this is the only reported case, but no solution.

Can someone help? I want to restore the phone to its original imei. Hoping to save 10 pounds unlocking fees, I lost 200 pounds.
This has been happening a lot it seems, and so far I don't think anyone has a cure.
There is still no solution after so many years?
I think we should warn others about unlocking the phone with softwares as it is not worth saving a few dollars unlocking fees and risk damaging such an expensive phone.
I emailed HTC and they said they do not offer service for phones not sold by them. Instead they asked me to contact the network operator who sold the phone. I went to the network operator and they said the repair is likely to cost the same as a new phone.
I'm looking to buy a G1, for AT&T like provider.
So, i need to use a SIM card that is not TMobile.
Can ANY G1 be unlocked?
Is unlocking same as rooting, or is more like unlocking/jailbreaking on the iPhone?
VERY sorry for the newbines.
As far as i have read, unlocking has to be done by Tmobile only, is that so?
And as i have thought, has nothing to do with rooting.
you can buy unlock codes all over the interwebs and ebay.
They need your IME number and your money. Then they will provide you with the code to enter when you put in a non T-mobile sim card.
What would be a fair price for that? Is it legal? Any recommended places?
ebay has them for about $10.
It is legal as far as I know, T-Mobile will just give it to you for free if you have been with them long enough.
Yes, i was just seeing them for about 10 on ebay.
Thanks.
However, why would you buy G1 for at&t and be stuck on edge network when you can buy Rogers Dream and actually be able to use 3G?
LoL, I'll give you my G1 >_>..
Purchased a HTC One that appears locked to O2 carrier (unbeknownst to me when I purchased on Ebay). When I inserted my AT&T sim card, I got a message asking me for the SIM unlock code. (not AT&T PUK code). Anyone have any idea how to remedy this situation. Any advice appreciated.

Is it locked to English O2? You can buy these unlock codes online, or wait 3 months and then get the carrier to unlock.
If I were you I would contact ebay and return it and wait for the AT&T model to be released. Someone here may know how to unlock it though, I have no clue.

Are you in the UK? If so buy a Pay as you Go O2 sim card, load it with £15, then fill in the unlock form on the O2 site and it will be unlocked within 3 days.
If you are in the US, then there is nothing much you could do, there might be unofficial ways to unlock the phone but I am not aware of them. Since you purchased from eBay, your best bet would be to return it as wrongly described.
Try one of these solutions:
1) If you have a look at this forum thread, it may help you with your problem
2) Also try this company mobileunlocks if they cannot supply the unlock code they will refund you.
3) Search ebay you will find sellers selling unlock codes on there too
Hi,
I bought a consumer cellular Moto G 2014 from Sears, but when i try the unlocking services on ebay they tell me they can't find the IMEID in their database? Does anyone know if these can be unlocked?
Thanks.
Weird because I got the same phone (sears deal) and bought an unlock code from eBay from a UK seller that advertised AT&T unlock etc.
They found my IMEI just fine and got my unlock code within an hour of purchase. I'm using the phone in Canada (Rogers) currently.

I used lineoutcomms. I too have an XT1064 from the Sears deal. Haven't tested the unlock code I received yet as I don't have a compatible SIM card from another carrier at the moment, but he was able to provide me with one based on my IMEI. Cost was $2.68.
Are you sure the CC phones are even locked? How can you tell? I use Consumer Cellular, but I bought my phone from best buy. I never even thought about their phones being locked.
I bought 2 xt1064s from sears a month apart. Was able to unlock the first one off of ebay with no problem. Finally wanted to unlock the second one just recently and every seller i try says imei cannot be found. What gives? The batches shouldn't be too far apart. Is my only option to sign up with consumer cellular, wait out their time frame, and then request a code?
My CC phone came from Sears and yes they are locked. My question is, why go thru an EBay seller to do it? Maybe I'm missing something, but I just went on the Motorola webpage got my unlock code and unlocked it.
I just got a new active from Att and I am not able to receive the firmware update. I have tried for the last two days (24-hr limit on update request). Each time the phone comes back with your software is up to date. I am on AOE9.
******I have an inportant information.******
I have a friend in Vietnam, I and him got an S6A.
I bought an S6A in Bestbuy, paid off.
He bought and S6A in ATT shop, paid off too.
But
I can get the unlock code after 2 days request in ATT webs => The staff in bestbuy told me, I can get the code if I buy ATT device in best buy for Free.
He tried like me, but the system said no => I asked 3 customers service in ATT website before, all of them said I have to contract an ATT SIM for 2 months (minimum $45/month for SIM card) and I could get unlock code after that for "free" after paid at least $90 for them.
the Important thing is :
My S6A (bestbuy) Cannot get OTA update (unlock or non-unlock) if I dont have ATT SIM.
His S6A (ATT shop) Can get OTA update (unlock or non-unclock) without ATT SIM card and another carrier in used. (he can get OTA for OF3 and the newest OF4).
*Yesterday,he bought an unlock code in a Vietnam mobile phone shop (~ $27) and It was unlocked, now he can use the vietnam's carrier.
I will show you the screenshot of his phone after I go home.
Sorry about my English
