Fully unlock Tilt

Hey all,
Nice forum here, plenty of good information. I've got a basic question. I've searched (here and google) and I'm pretty sure I get it but I just want to confirm before I make any purchase. I want the HTC Kaiser but the price difference between that and the Tilt is about $500 (I plan to upgrade contract anyway). That's just too much to justify for the same exact device on a college student's salary. I do need it to be unlocked though. So, if I understand correctly, it is possible to fully unlock this phone like this:
- For the SIM unlock call ATT and get them to give you the unlock code. Since I've been a customer for 5 years or so that shouldn't be a problem.
- For the CID unlock, run the HardSPL found on the sticky in this forum and then flash with a standard HTC ROM.
That's it, the phone is fully unlocked then, right? It won't be locked again, it won't be killed over-the air, etc... Again, I'm really sorry if this is repeated information, I just really want to be sure before I buy anything. Thanks for understanding.

1. If you're an AT&T customer, you won't need to SIM unlock the phone with the Tilt. But if you want to switch over to T-Mobile, then yeah, you can try calling AT&T and ask for them to for the unlock code.
2. Yep.
Hope that clarifies things.

I have done it and I am not even an ATT customer. Told them I bought the phone and I am going to England and need my international SIM to work. The guy immediately gave me an unlock code

I can verify that, I also unlocked tht Tilt, and am a T-Mo customer, ofcourse my first carrier was ATT, then Tmo, then Cingular and now am on Tmo for the past 2 years, so my info was already there.

Hey guys,
I just got an AT&T Tilt from ebay and getting shipped to Australia - can i call up AT&T and ask for it to be unlocked or is there a SIM unlock program that can do the job?

OK, I got the phone. Two more questions before I do this:
I downloaded RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe. Once I run HardSPL, do I just transfer this file to the phone and run it and it will flash to stock HTC firmware or is there something else? I was a bit confused by all the other ROM's and files on this forum.
Also, before calling AT&T, do I need to have a SIM from another provider to do the SIM unlock or no?

no dont transfer the file to your phone. download it to your computer, establish an activesync connection, and then run it from your computer. make sure you follow the instructions in the sticky. good luck, the htc rom is much cleaner and quicker than the atnt rom

You don't need another sim until you get the unlock code from AT&T. Once you do, put the other sim in your phone, boot it up, and enter the unlock code. It will say passcode accepted and your phone will be unlocked

Just got off the phone with AT&T (1-(916)-843-4685). I told them I was taking a trip to England, gave the IMEI and got my unlock code. So now I've got a fully unlocked phone and saved $500. Very nice.

Exactly how I got mine unlocked. Free is good

Just a question, Did you get your unlock code while still on the phone?
In other words, they gave you the code right away!
or you have to way a couple a days to get the code?
I did the same one time with TMO and have to way a week to get the code.
I just called ATT and they got all my info and told me that htc will email me the info in a week.

They gave it to me while I was on the phone. HTC has nothing to do with AT&T's unlock codes. Did you call the 916 number posted above? Call again and get a different rep who knows what they're doing!

I've tried calling that ATT number multiple times with no luck.
I am a TMobile customer and have never had ATT. The first question they ask is for my account information. I tried calling back 5 times and spoke to 5 different people and they all want my account info.
If anyone here can do it I would greatly appreciate and i'd even paypal you some money for being able to pull it off.

that seems like it'll work. have someone thats been on at&t for a while to call them up and give them your imei. What I'm not sure is if they have records of only at&t imei and they'll know if you have tmo imei.

Unlock tilt
Thanks, I called the number and told them that I am going over seas, got mine unlocked. Will take a few days after AT&T puts in a request to HTC for the unlock code. They'll send it via email.

Drop $20 on a GoPhone and give 'em that number - YMMV of course, but it's a cheap fix if it works - as it did for me...
HTH,

call today and they bluff me with the "if i give you the code the phone will never work again on at&t network and will became useful" i insist that i do these many times without any proble and they told me that will contact me in 3 to 5 days with the requested codes because they have to request it from someone ( i don't now who) but they will give it to me

Mine works just fine after unlocking. They are giving you a line of BS.

Yeah, it took almost a month to get my V551 unlocked - between "misrouted" support requests, improper account information, and whatever real delays exist in getting codes from Motorola.
It's quite interesting that most Tilt people (myself included) have gotten codes immediately vs having them e-mailed - as had been ALL my previous experience.

Awesome News...
I do have one outstanding question. As a Sprint TP2 owner, which already has it's SIM Unlocked, but will the HSPL/unlocker she creates allow Sprint TP2 users to access US GSM networks like Telus and Verizon customers can.
Any ideas of what might be? This is for thoughts.

[Q] Unlocking HTC Touch Pro 2

I need to know how to Unlock my HTC Touch pro 2 SPRINT U.S. I have looked EVERY ****ING WHERE, all I found was sites that you need to pay and get a IMEI Code to unlock it, does anyone know a legit site that I can trust or another way.

RELAX!!!!
First of all, relax! I believe foul language is not allowed here (I understand the feeling of being looking everywhere for something, it's frustating) if what you are looking for is to unlock it in order to be able to use with others carriers check this one out http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/ and if what you're trying to achieve is to unlock it to put custom roms on it then go to:
gsm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
cdma:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578660
by the way, to get your imei try dialing *#06# that'll do the trick.
Hope that helps, peace and welcome to xda.

one thing I'd add, sprint is definitely cdma, so don't use the gsm link.

Ups! you´re totally right in fact I OWN a sprint tp2, so I know for sure that it is a world phone (basically cdma and gsm, but functions as a cdma when it comes to unlocking and flashing anything to it), I guess I tried to be too general so others (both gsm and cmda users) could benefit from my answer, but I totally forgot to advice him to go for the cdma link, thanks god you took the time to tell him, I hope he did his homework before jumping to any of those links.

[Q] Bad ESN, Activitating on TMobile

Hey, guys. I'm on TMobile but I found a bad ESN D2G on CL for $10.
So I bought it. It's literally like mint but has a bad ESN. Is there any way to get this working on my carrier, TMobile? I bought it to use as a development phone but I'd be really sweet if it could be my backup, as well. All input is appreciated.

Read this forum section. Read it. Both about the USA band unlock and about SIM unlock. Reading helps. There are lots of threads about this.

Thanks, man! I mean, it took you two minutes to ***** about my post. Exactly the amount of time it would have taken for you to answer my question!
Stand-up guy. Thanks, dude!

OP, if you are lucky and phone unlocks using code purchased online, you can get it working on T-Mobile, but in GSM/EDGE mode only (no 3G due to lack of AWS support).
If you can't get it unlocked this way, things get complicated.

I searched and couldn't find anything. This D2G section is quite sparse. You don't have to be a ****. It takes two seconds to respond and help someone.

I know I'm extremely late on this but dude... You're what's wrong with this site. Unwilling to take two seconds and help someone but instead taking ten to ***** them out. I'm my opinion people like you should be banned or have your comment posting rights taken away. Honestly some of the posts on here that would be extremely useful are hard to find because they can be tucked behind tens if not hundreds of new posts... Some people don't have the time to search for answers in some posts that they may not even have time to find. If you read this (Which you probably will) don't get mad at me and flame at me because your *****ing is very childish along with everyone else like you. I am in no way a dev but I am learning and I can assure you that when Iget good I will not be posting on this site because of people like you... Flame on but realize you are no help.

A bad ESN has no bearing on whether the phone can be activated on TMobile (or any other GSM provider).
Granted, if the ESN is bad, Verizon won't give you an unlock code. However I had great luck by getting a $6 unlock code from eBay user "Unlock_Fusion".
Then I performed the TBH Band Unlock that's posted here and at Rootzwiki, and now my D2G is happily accepting AT&T & TMo SIM cards.

I got rid of this a long time ago. I bought an unlock code via eBay and it worked first try. Did TBH unlock and it was great. Even got AT&T 3G.
