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 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.

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.

Hi XDA - Just joined the "Android Team" from being a long-time iPhone user. These forums seem much more intuitive. The one thing I can't seem to locate is SIM-Unlock services\assistance.
I just bought a HTC Inspire 4G, and normally I just call AT&T and they give me the code to punch in and it unlocks it when I use overseas with foreign SIM. This time they said since it's an ATT "exclusive" phone, the unlock codes won't be available for customer care to provide until the 6 month window has been reached, which will be August.
What alternate methods are available to use for unlocking? I really don't want to modify the software, so how does unlocking on android work? Are there websites that can provide unlock codes? If I take it to a cell kiosk at the mall can they do it? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Right now, the only way to unlock the Inspire is to flash to an older radio ROM (it had an exploit), unlock it, and restore back to the stock firmware

Well if it makes you feel any better, after you flash back to the stock ROM, the only difference will be that your phone is unlocked
flashing back the stock rom will keep the phone within guarantee right?

Yeah I get it I'm just a week old in the Android world and not super comfortable to mod yet. I know just about everything related to jail breaking iPhone I just wish there was an easy step by step guide to mod and unlock my inspire 4G :-(
Don't worry, there will be soon enough, it's just a brand new phone.
FYI All - Just got an email from http://www.HTCimeiUnlock.com/ stating that unlock codes are now available. Please note I'm not afiliated with this site in any way, just sharing the info. I just bought 2 codes for $25 each for my 2 Inspire 4Gs and they worked, yay sooooooo excited now!
EDIT: YEAH I know this is pricey for an unlock code, but they're the first I found with them, so like any business, the first to the market can charge what they want until everyone else catches up... good way to add $100 in resale value to my phones for $25 tho, hehe.
Thanks for the replies
Bought the unlock code $25 from them yesterday, and voila! I am using my Tmobile on this phone now. Thanks for the info.

I was very impressed with their service.. I bought 2 for the 2 phones I have, and they were the only legit unlocker I could find. I was at the end of my rope too, I'd paid for 4 others to get the unlock code and they'd all email me after 24 hours saying code not available.
Glad you got it unlocked too, enjoy!
Yes, they were great.very quick to response with answers to all the questions I had. I was at the point of flashing my new phone with limited knowledge of doing that. A previous unlocker failed to find the code for 2 days.
Just a quick question about the unlocking. When you unlock it and use it on T-Mobile you are not getting their 3G service right? I haven't looked at the bands available in this phone but I would be surprised if this supports both the T-Mobile and AT&T bands.

Yeah, you're correct, 2G on T-Mobile, 3.5G ("4G") on AT&T. I unlocked because I go global alot and need to be able to pop in foreign sims.

Will these instructions work without an ATT SIM card to begin with?
EDIT: I got an answer from attn1. It will work without a sim card. Just don't insert one from another provider until the very last step.
Does this get you the s off or just unlock it for different sim.
Nevermind, wasnt thinking. Root and unlocked are totally different

Want to share my own experience and give heads up to an independent unlocker.
I have the knowledge to go for the unlock method presented here by the OP, but I lack the time to do it and I can probably make the money to unlock 10 phones in the same amount of time I will use to go through this process, so I have decided to unlock the phone through a simple purchase code method and will root the phone later when an easier process comes out. I would be also happy to pay for that since I don't really have time to go through the flash-root process.
So when I first got my HTC Inspire, I went right away to ebay in search of the unlocker I used last time to unlock an HTC Aria. Was surprised to not found the unlocker I was looking for and worst, despite he had over +63k positive reviews, he was somehow been removed from ebay and other unlockers claim he was out of ebay due to fraud. hu?
Anyway, I had his email so I contacted him over email and asked regarding the subject, he said somebody (other unlockers it seems) were accusing him on fraud thus he was removed from ebay.
I got a little reluctant to buy again from him after "hearing the news" but after exchanging few emails with the guy, I told my self "is just 20 bucks for the code, worst can happen if he's not right is I'll loose the money and he'll of course will get the worst advertising"... so, I added him to my gmail chat to have a close talk and after paying him with my google checkout account, 10 minutes later he sent the code over chat and email, which -needless to say- unlocked the phone right away!!!
You can search through my posts on xda-forum and you'll see I recommended this unlocker before, [email protected], he is the **** and offered the least expensive unlock code for the Inspire, only 20 dollars, you can pay with PayPal or Google checkout. There is the word outside that he is not right and committed fraud, even this other jealous unlocker post his email address on a scammer's site and I can assure all this is not true at all.
I send others relatives with this guy and all of them got their unlock codes in shape and time. This is presently the least expensive unlocker out there for the Inspire codes.
He also has a web site http://blowfishunlocks.com, you'll need to register to order the code, but I would recommend do the email thing.
This guy is real, he has a real address and I recommend him 100% for unlocking the Inspire or any other phone.
On a side note, AT&T willnot realease the unlock code after 6 months (new policy) and this is why I had to buy the code. I use this phone in mexican's Telcel GSM and works as charm and I had to manually configure the APN for the 3g.
hey tongas i just bought the phone on ebay and i will be adding that blowfish guy over my gmail chat because i will also need an unlock code. anyways i live in mexicali baja california mexico .. were did u get the info for the APN for 3G on telcel. im going to activate it here too lol .. so some info would be really helpfull thanks .. the buyer said hes sending my phone during this week so hopefully ill get it by tuesday next week.
also a general question and its for educational purposes does anyone know if this phone will be capable of runing programs for testing my wifi securety to see if it till cough up my wep key? please let me know if i am breaking any forum rules for making this questions its not my intention to do so. Thanks .
Hey dude, no problem
Use the info on this thread to set the APN manually:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=5e750231d361e730&hl=en
Blowfish dude rocks, I'm at pacific/central Mexico over Telcel and this my second time buying from him, the guy is super cool over chat, tell him you found him through this forum, he was so thankful I posted this for him, the man is straight business and he will have you setup in a bit.
Enjoy your HTC Inspire I'm doing so with mine, this thing is fast and super nice... wish a little bit of more battery life but wth! phone is super cool!
It's cool to know that unlock codes are available for this phone
@bella have you watched r34p3rex's video tut? I followed him to the T and successfully rooted, unlocked, and flashed this puppy It's not too bad I think... Jailbreaking was just wayyyy too easy (at least it was when I had a non-mc 3gs) It was a lot of one click jailbreaking for me. The only time I really had trouble was updating
Back to the point! I'd suggest peeps give ol' r34p3rex's video tut a shot (or a good several viewings) it might seem daunting at first... but follow the instructions and you won't have any issues
When I unlock my phone I feel very accomplished. I added all that resale value just by disabling network locks!

So I'm heading to Scotland in May on the 20th and was hoping to unlock my new Sidekick 4G before the trip but it seems Tmobile has not updated their systems with the proper unlock codes for the newest device. Samsung has agreed to help me but I need to provide them T-mobiles NCK or Network Control Key. After trying to take to T-mobile to get the key they simply tell me they cannot provide it and will simply input my request to unlock.
Has any one had any luck yet unlocking this or maybe know the NCK that I need to have Samsung do it for me?
Please and Thanks all around I appreciate any and all help!

I'm curious as well...
I'm no expert at unlocking phones, but gutty posted a suggestion: this thread.
It may be possible to do it this way, but I wouldn't be for sure. On the sk4g, the nv_data.bin is located in /efs/root/afs/settings/nv_data.bin
Yeah, if someone could attempt the process at the above mentioned link that would be great. Your other option is to use a third party to unlock the sidekick. unlockallcellular.com is supposed to offer an unlock.
My sidekick will be arriving this week, from the States, so hopefully an unlock will be coming soon. If not, I will try the third party i mentioned and report back if it works.
I don't mean to thread jack, but does anybody know if this phone will be on any other carrier other than T-Mobile? I have AT&T, and I want to get it, but I also want the 3g to work also...
i tried the unlock process... no luck tried to get code from unlock freedom also no luck i need the phone unlocked asap because my gf leaves the country in 2 weeks.
Maybe Try unlockr.com
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Its Totally unlockable by code!
BUT you will need to get the code from "Samsung manufacturer" method rather than tmobile. Tmobile database will not have the NCK code.
Try cellunlocker.net , but it can be pretty pricey to unlock that fine pie of machinery
hope that helps!
So just wanted to update everyone whos wondering I contacted T-mo a 2nd time after not hearing anything for a week. They re-submitted my request and within 48 hrs I had my unlock code and did the deed with no issues. Hope this helps those in need.

Do you just call customer service and ask for an unlock code?
YES Tmobile will give you the unlock code for any phone on the following prerequisites
1) that is was used on a Postpaid LINe simcard for a week
2) you fax them the receipt that you bought any tmobile phone unlocked
this is how i did it with my LG Optimus T i got last easter prepaid at $158
Yes!
That's all there is to it.
No fees, No hassle.
Received my unlock code from unlockallcellular.com .
Order was placed, 5/3/2011, received my code, 05/12/2011. Worked fine.
I was a bit upset with the turnaround time, but they blamed T-mobile's database for that.
So, if any of you are unable to have T-mobile unlock the device for you, the company above, can do it fine.

If you have a T-Mobile account in good standing more than 90 days they will give you the unlock code for free. If you are not a TMO customer or meet the requirements above you need to buy a code.
I can sell you an unlock code for $5.00. Cheaper on ebay also but I give good service.
you can provide the unlocking code instantly or does it take few minutes/hours to get it?
I'm afraid of purchasing the used G2X since I have no way of checking it beforehand since it is sim-locked... right?

The code can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to retrieve. On the weekends if LG's database is down you might have to wait over 24 hours. Normally you have the code in less than one hour.
You can check a lot of functions without the sim. If the seller has a T-Mobile sim you can use theirs to try it.

Yes there is a software hack for unlocking these phones but non of the developers have made it public like they did it for Other phones is Galaxy S series. These software hacks are available as paid solution through some repair box (S-box for e.g) or some via websites on per unlock credit basis.
Thanks everyone. I was not patient enough to, so I got code from Ebay.
good choice...cheap as hell on there and its fast
Unlock your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket Instantly
I've notice that there are free apps in the Market that are able to unlock some versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series. Unfortunately after much research I forced to the conclusion that the Skyrocket is not one of the supported devices by those free apps.
Shopping around for an IMEI unlock code yielded nothing less than US$24.50. That was until I turned to Ebay. There are several solutions offered there but the one that appealed at an unbeatable price and 100% success rate was from the seller "aprivate".
Your phone will be unlocked via USB with a few clicks of the mouse Instantly. Absolutely seamless service.
Head on over to ebay and search for the seller aprivate or check out their website UnlockClient.com Unlock solutions are NOT limited to the Skyrocket but you can get all your models unlocked their instantly too.
They have great offers which despite my extreme satisfaction is another reason that I am taking the time out to write this review.

Third party unlocking was made illegal in the us about 2 weeks or so ago..
Omg.
I am never going to use that phone in this country ever not even going to start the phone on any US carriers. After unlocking, I am sending it to my mom and she stays out of US.
Will that be okay?

Im not sure. If the phone was originally bought and sold in the us, then probably not, unless the original carrier were to unlock it. Was just mentioning that perhaps you had not gotten a reply from that site because they're figuring out their legal status, as well as if they can fulfill your order or must refund you.
AT&T Unlock Code

Wrong. I asked via the unlock portal and received the unlock code in about 8 hours.
Free unlock from AT&T
I was also able to (after spending some time on hold) get an unlock code directly from AT&T. I do have an AT&T account, have been with them for a long time, and do NOT have a contract. I also bought the phone used.
This won't unlock your phone, but you can use it on Cricket or H2O Wireless - even though it's still locked to AT&T - for a LOT less money. $27.00 per month for H2O and $35.00 per month with Cricket - if you use the auto pay option. HTH.
