Thanks for the input everyone.=A0 Rooting and changing firmware is different from SIM unlocking process on RO= GERS HTC Dream.=A0 I have tried the PIN from the SIM paperwork and it doesn't work. And I trie= d four different providers with activated SIMs and result is the same. I tried to test out the theory that it's a PIN on the SIM=2C so I actually = assigned a PIN to a SIM on another phone and then inserted it into my Roger= s HTC Dream (G1) and the result was that then the phone asks me for SIM PIN= and SIM Network PIN. This proved that it's provider locked for SIM. So=2C = that makes me=A0believe=A0that the phone is=A0definitely=A0locked and it's = not nothing to do with the PIN. There are numerous posts about T-Mobile giving out unlock codes for the G1 = to work it with other providers and that is what I am looking for. Unfortun= ately=2C I am not with T-mobile. There are some posts on xda-developers that talks of SIM lock as well and f= ollowing are some URLs claiming anyone with a T-Mobile contract can unlock = one: http://diyistheway.blogspot.com/2008/12/american-dream-vol1.htmlhttp://foru= m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3D430041 Regards=2CBruce ---------------------------------------- > Date: Wed=2C 30 Sep 2009 09:56:26 +1000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] How to unlock Rogers HTC > > Bruce N wrote: >> I was under the impression that rooting it and renewing the firmware act= ually unlocks the phone to work with any SIM. > > I don't think android phones are locked to a sim=2C they just come > pre-programmed with the carrier APN or not and you can't change it. > > However this seems like the SIM is password protected and check the > paper work that came with the SIM for the PIN. > > -- > > Best regards=2C > Duane > > http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication > http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally=2C network locally > http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom > http://e164.org - Global Communication for the 21st Century > > "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right=2C > but the optimist has a better time on the trip." > =0A= _________________________________________________________________=0A= We are your photos.
