hi there, hope everyone is doing okay. I'm here in pak, I've t mobile g4 and whenever I put a simcard in it so it won't catch signals and asking me to unlock the phone. Can someone please tell me how do I unlock it? Is there any way to do so? Thanks
I was in the same boat just the other day. I couldn't find any way to SIM unlock my phone without buying a service. No ROM will unlock your carrier, I've already tried. Go to http://www.androidsimunlock.com and you can get a T-Mobile LG G4 SIM unlock for about $20. That was the cheapest place I could find it, because you're gonna want to make sure you select the "SIM unlock app method". You wait until they've confirmed that they unblocked your SIM unlock, then you go into the T-Mobile SIM unlock app on your phone and select "Permanent Unlock" and you should be good to go!

Hi. I am wondering if anyone can tell me the procedure to unlock my AT&T Tilt without another carrier's SIM card?
I have the unlock code from AT&T, but I do not know the key strokes to bring up the dialogue to enter the unlock code. I do NOT have access to another carrier's SIM card. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Why are you wanting to unlock it without the need for another sim? You can use the phone without a sim card in there so it's not like you have that restriction. Just keep the code on the phone and when you have the need, it's there for you whereever you are.
Or if you're wanting to unlock it to sell it, just include the code with the sale. The buyer is going to know it's an att phone, and as long as you have the code to unlock it, there's no difference. If anything, it makes the phone more "new" than if you turned it on the unlock it and then sell. So depending on how you pitch it, it could be an additional good trait
Borrow the other carrier SIM from your friends or go to T-mobile store to do the test.
I had old line with T-mobile. Did the unlock in 5 sec. After putting the T-mobile SIM it ask for SIM lock code...
you can goto a cell phone store. usually the people would let you use a foreign sim.
another idea would be to buy a tmobile to go phones. not that expensive. and you'd get a backup phone as well depending on which you choose. for example, the nokias are real easy to unlock for free
Thanks alot for your replies.
Actually, yes, it is to sell the phone. So, I assume what I will do is just include the unlock code with the sale. It would be nice if the phone actually had a series of keystrokes that you can enter to in order to bring up the unlock dialogue.
I have an unlock code for my ATT Tilt. How do I unlock my phone with it without using a different carriers sim? Asking because I am selling the phone on eBay unlocked.

what is your unlock code?
Look for "SimLock.exe" in the \Windows directory. Run that and it should ask for the unlock code. Input the code. Wallah! Unlocked phone. (that is, if you have the correct code). No foreign SIM required.
^ I'm looking there but the only thing related to SIM in there is the sim manager
unlock code
I did this today traveling from the US to Canada.
Place another SIM card in the phone and turn it on. When it boots up, it asks fo rthe code. enter the code and press ok, all done.

First select 'Menu' and then 'Show All Files'. Now you should be able to find it.
I received an unlock code for my hd7 from t mobile and instructions say insert foreign SIM card, my question is what do they mean by foreign? I've tried an inactive t mobile SIM but it doesn't work.
lol well in the wildest sense of the word, try a sim card from another country lol
but i think even using an att sim would do (for your unlocking purpose)
also: if you asked for the unlock code and got it, the whole point is that you can go abroad and still use the same phone
if you want to flash to another rom, then just ask a friend for a non-tmo sim to proceed with unlocking
I am planning on using the phone while on vacation abroad I just thought that it would be better to get it unlocked before.
HD7 lock by T-mobile how to unlock work Indian
If your talking about carrier unlock then its simple, go to ebay and search "htc hd7 unlock code" the cheapest unlock is about $21 then just follow the directions, make sure they have good feedback! and they will send you a code to put in the phone when you insert a sim card that isnt meant for the tmobile phone,and your good to go, just make sure to download "connection setup" from the htc app section in the market to get your data working
I was on Sprint recently, and upon entering my account I saw this option "Get my PIN1/PUK1 unlock code". What exactly is this and where would I use this at on the phone. Also are there and advantages or disadvantages to no having my PIN1/PUK1 unlocked.

it's if you happen to lock your sim card on accident you would need the PUK code to unlock the sim in order to be used again. I work for AT&T and I get this call on a regular basis.

Since I would apparently want to avoid doing this, how would one lock the SIM card inadvertently? I'm going overseas soon, and wouldn't want to mess up my foreign SIM card. :fingers-crossed:
