The glitch I was refering to was that somtimes the g2 would lock up or brick after the unlock code would be entered ..

[Q] The Internal ID of T-Mobile G2

What is the internal ID for the T-Mobile G2 ?
for example:
ro.product.model.internal = A955
Would be for the Droid2 , what would it be for the T-Mobile G2?
A7272 for the dz
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Looks like the Internal for G2 specifically is A8181 which is what I need.
*Sigh* though even an internal ID of A8181 nor the T-Mobile Branding and such manages to get Hulu+ working on my phone (which is an actual T-Mobile G2), though it could just be a problem with Hulu in general as even a stock TMo rom wasn't working with it.
Did u go to the Hulu+ website and add ur device to be activated? This app works on my G2.

Yea I did and it does show there "Android - HTC T-Mobile G2 (tmobile)", I ended up getting it to work by using a hacked version of the hulu+ app, otherwise it would only let me browse and not watch anything.
Its A8181

Is your phone unlocked? Check to see

I got my UNlock code put in a at&t SIM..... put in code... then it said unlock successful...
But upon checking this unlock with this code.
*#7465625# it still says locked!!!
Will someone punch in this code that has there phone unlocked and see if it says network lock off.
Or if it still says locked!!!???
It's driving me crazy......

I purchased mine as unlocked but haven't had the chance to try another company's sim card on it to verify that.
I checked with the *#7465625# code and it looks exactly like yours.
I unlocked my sgs2 and tried that code and everything is OFF.

It looks like you are in different ROM. To unlock ur phone you need to be on stock ROM!
I did it on my s2. I was unable to use code on AOKP so i flash stock rom, unlock , rooted again and back to stock again.

I put in att chip and it sent me a welcome message and I can call 611 .... just got an activated chip.... no money on it thow...

I requested and received the unlock code from T-Mobile. I tested this by making a call using an AT&T sim card.
My screen is identical to the one above, including the typo. My phone is definitely unlocked!!!
Same thing, as all of you. I get the same pop up. I tried it yesterday with an att SIM card and it worked on their network.

Nope, your good to flash to your heart's desire lol
Quick question, sorry its a bit off topic, how did you guys get your phone unlocked?
I've read threads about Tmobile being friendly enough to send you a unlock code, but I currently have AT&T. Does that affect the process any?
Yes att does give out lock codes ... just have to wait a certain amount of days..and once unlocked always unlocked... flash away..

[Q] Is there a T-Mobile customer who can help me get my unlock code?

Hey,
After helplessly trying to unlock my T-Mobile Samsung S2 SGH-989, and getting a refusal from T-Mobile for the unlock code, on account that I've been their customer for less than 60 days, I'm seeking help to get the unlock code from them. I am not from the US and no longer a T-Mobile customer. Is there any way I could send my IEMI number to someone who could get the unlock code from T-Mobile? I've tried rooting and running the unlock app, which didn't work, and now I am stuck with a useless device and I'm kind of desperate.
Thanks
Have you tried using an app called GalaxySim Unlock?

[Q] Check if locked on unlocked?

So I tried to activate a used Note 2 I just bought from someone on Canada's Telus network. According to the CSR the phone is not unlocked. Is there something I can do on the phone to check this?
I tried the "*#simlock#" or "*#simlock#*" or "*#simlock" and all of them just say "Not registered on network."
I did a IMEI lookup and it says my phone is not "blocked" (stolen?) but I can't find anything on how to check if it's locked or not.
Go in the boot loader and choose the sim lock option

How do I get into the bootloader? I can get into Odin Mode and the "Downloading..." screen...

Hold the power button + down volume when your phone is shut down!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
If I press and hold those 2 keys it just continually reboots. If I press and hold them until something comes on the screen and then let go it just goes into Android.
If I add the Home button to the mix, I end up at the "Downloading..." screen at which point I need to pull the battery to reboot it.
I am a complete noob to Android, by the way, if that wasn't clear.
Haha alright... do you have an other carrier sim card?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
No. The only SIM card that will fit (microSIM) is the Telus one I just bought. I have a work phone on Bell but it's not a microSIM and I'm not going to cut it or I won't be able to put it back in my work phone.
I should clarify that the Note 2 was being used on Bell and I am trying to use it Telus but they said it wasn't unlocked and they couldn't put it on their network.
I also read that I should get a warning error if I put a different SIM in and it is not unlocked but I started it up with my Telus SIM and got no errors.
I'm starting to wonder if they just had a typo in the IMEI or something but if I can find something on the device to prove it's unlocked then I'll know for sure.

Well actually, if your phone was on BELL and you are using it on TELUS and receving sms,data,etc... your unlocked!

That's the problem. They refused to activate it saying it wasn't unlocked. So no, I am not receiving anything on it. If I hadn't had problems getting them to activate it, I probably wouldn't be posting this.
I have a totally different phone which is s-off and unlocked boot loader and all that. If I go to that option in my fastboot screen and I her a bunch of errors like emmc fail and such would that indicate my phone was sim locked? I'm on a droid incredible 4g LTE from Verizon. I'm just curious! Thanks

Looks promising. I don't get a network lock dialog like they show, though. That's why I don't think it's locked. The reason I'm not getting anything from the network is probably because they didn't activate the new SIM because they were having some kind of issue with the IMEI. It'd be nice if they filled in the customer a little more about what the issue is.

Apparently I was right because I called them again today and they didn't even want the IMEI which is what they were having problems with yesterday and now that I've got the SIM activated I'm sending and receiving calls so I guess it's unlocked after all.
Yes it is haha your sim wasn't activated that was the problem !

unlock tmobil s3 problems

I have an s3 that i was selling to mother in law to use on consumer cellular. T mobile provided an unlock code that does not work. They are supposedly investigating this. I tried to pay an online unlocker for a code, I told them the code t mobile provided that did not work, They were unable to generate an unlock code ,
What is is going on. T mobile sim locks phones and then cant provoide correct unlock codes??
What other option do i have?
This seems like a bunch of BS on tmobile part.
Selling to MiL ? I'd give for free if I were you.
Seriously speaking, you can take the phone to a T-Mobile store for further investigation. If the code does not work, don't try it repeatedly. The phone will lockup for good.
If the code did not work, make sure the T-Mobile Rep has taken down your IMEI correctly. Make them repeat it to make sure its correct.
There are other ways to unlock. But in order to try them, I need to know what android version you have right now. Its listed in Settings > About.
Its running stock rooted 4.3 with stocm recovery and some bloat removed. Have verified t mo has correct imei. Have tried 2 old centennial wireless sims and an old at&t sim. No luck.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Since you are on 4.3, the other way to unlock is out of question. Please take the phone to a T-Mo Store after you get the new unlock code.

I am having the same problem.
I just got done with TMO online chat and they said to make sure the WiFi is off before you do it.
I am going to try this when I get home.
Check out chainfires Region Lock Away app on the play store or here on xda. Its built for the note3 on 4.3 firmware, but ive seen claims it works on the S3 and others. I suggest reading the thread to be certain, but it may be a viable option for those running 4.3 rooted.
