Unlock For Root?

Is it possible to Unlock a Rooted G1 and if so, how? I have a rooted G1 and I want to Unlock it and sell it to one of my friends so that I could buy the iPhone 3G. Also, does anybody know how much G1's go for? I don't want to rip him off but I don't want to get ripped back. I'm thinking $300-$400. The current G1 has a few scratches on it from being dropped but runs PERFECTLY and is all up-to-date... it even has CyanogenMOD 4.1.11.1 soo? Thanks...

Good idea... but I have to find out how to Unlock because he's on Sprint. And why would I regret selling the G1?

There's no way you could do that. Sprint doesn't use sim cards. But hey sell it to him for $763,987.99.

to unlock, call t-mobile if you have a plan through them. here's a better question, why wouldn't you regret selling your G1

It's pointless to waste your time or money unlocking it because sprint doesn't use sims and they are CDMA where the G1 HAS TO HAVE a sim and is GSM. You prolly will prefer a iphone though it is less work.

Wow you'll really buy me an iPhone? Thanks man. Your awesome! =)

just sell your g1 on ebay for like 300 and get a refurb 3g 16gb from att for 99, just gotta get a 2yr contract (maybe u have a family member who needs a cell plan or a good friend/gf. except if they ship it with 3.1 firmware your ****ed cuz it cant be unlocked for another carrier unless you get one of those special sim cards on ebay.

Anyone that came from an iPhone 4, thoughts?

So, I have an iPhone 4 (i wish i still had my nexus one) and i am looking to rid myself of it and get the dell streak. upgrading this to 2.2 would be no problem for me, and all the specs seem up to par with everything else on the market.
here is the point of my question... I want to know if any of you who gave up your iphone (iphone 4 particularly) for the streak, WAS IT WORTH IT.
thanks

The simple answer is yes. The long winded answer is...
I've always been an iphone user up until the streaks release when I finally jumped ship to android. I've fallen in love with the way android works and the large screen of the dell. The customization options and the open feel of the apps on the market place are great features.
I tried out the iphone 4 for a couple of weeks but found it impossible to go back to the small screen and restricted software that is apple, not to mention the reception issues I was having.
Although I love the streak it's not all blue skys and kittens in comparison. The major things you'll notice in comparison to your iphone is the testing is a little harder to get used to and the market place doesn't have as many high end apps. The games available are very limited. However its easy to get past this considering how good everything else is and you cb always use some of the emulators instead and get some decent games.
All in all I would tell anyone on an iphone or considering it to look at android instead and if you want the larger screen then the streak is for you!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I had the iPhone 4 for a total of 3 days before i realised it was the same tired iPhone I replaced... Sure they "added" some things, but the feel of iOs is simply boring compared to Droid.
Now I haven't received my Streak yet, just ordered it yesterday, but I am using the Samsung Captivate at the moment and it is 1000 times better in my opinion than apple could ever be. i find it hard to describe, but its like android is the offspring of iOs and winMo... So the "flash" of apple and the "tweakability" of windows... So that's my thoughts, can't wait for my Streak!! Hope it helps!!!

Yeah man I feel you. Because i had a nexus one from February till the end of June and I miss it. :/ I think I may go with the Dell tomorrow. I'm going to check it out at my local AT&T. Thank you a lot for input.. I am just so fed up with Apple. And it hasn't even been that long. anything else about the streak I should know or look out for?
Thanks again.

Good question. I've got an iPhone 4 myself and can't stand it, thinking of making the switch as well.
What sort of adapter did you guys use for the microsim?

Alright well. I think I'm gonna do it. I just have to go off of pure hope that I'd like it. I'm gonna try to call an AT&T store to see if o could at least look at it if they have one. But you guys would say go for it, yeah?

iPhone 4 microSIM to fullsize SIM
I purchased a microSIM adaptor on ebay...cost me $7 for the item and shipping.
Tested it by taking my microSIM card from my iPhone4, placing it into the microSIM adaptor and inserting that combo in my old Nexus One and it worked no problem.

nice... i just went to an at&t store and they gave me a full size one for free.
So, i sold my iPhone 4 for $550. woo! i ordered my Streak, and i'll be talking to you guys here more.

i got tired of the iphone 3g and dodged the iphone4 bullet. i didnt wait for its release i went for the streak on june 4th instead. i did my homework before making that decision but most of all they never had any real features worth waiting for.
I love using OSX but come on if they bothered the ipad and iphone could have had all that goodness rather than cripped os's. its akin to taking a baseball bat to a racehorse!

Just ordered my streak today! Have an iPhone 4 but really miss Android and my N1. I'm still pretty pissed at Dell for the whole fiasco plus I paid $550 for a locked to ATT unit. I have ATT but still,weak sauce. Oh yeah, and 1.6 wow thanks.
If you have an old sim trace around the micro sim then cut. I used a small piece of tape and it works great. Not the ellegant option but it's effective...

i don't think we'll regret our purchases man. im happy about it.

I feel the same way, I have been watching the Streak like a hawk. I have some big hands and I think it will be perfect for what I want. I got overnight shipping, sucks to order on a Friday. I am glad I waited though, I was so close to buying a beta from eBay.

ive only been watching it for a couple days now but i knew i needed a really good replacement. and it seems i have found it.

I still have my iphone4 and the streak. I miss the games (angry birds.) There's no denying they have more apps in general, but I got board of it. Think about 3G, 3GS, and 4 are all basically the same phone.

AT&T will swap out your micro sim back to a standard sim for free, being that the only phone in their linup that uses it is the iPhone... I had to go from standard to micro and back again and they didn't argue at all.. The rep told me that it is a common trouble shoot to swap sim card so they had no problem doing it for free.
Also, Dell has chosen to sell the Streak purely online, from the Dell site only. According to Dell, they wanted to make sure that all Streak customers were handled the same way to avoid problems, being that it was the frist phone they released.... ( Iwas told this by a Dell rep, so I am not 100% sure on the validity.)

sounds pretty logical. reps at stores can really make the process suck. especially when they stutter and they aren't positive on the features and stuff. eh.. i dislike buying phones from at&t. im glad dell sort of has a 'nexus one style' way of selling its product.

I say wait for it to be up on amazonwireless/wirefly/letstalk. Though I was expecting them to charge 250$, they always charge 50$ for the keyboard fee. Considering that we most likely won't be seeing any other keyboard phones for a year (sprint already has 3 with this one having best specs). There might not be much choice.

Why is it funny? it is always cheaper through a retailer then directly. You can get it for 1 penny on amazon. The only downside ordering it through a 3rd party is if you cancel after 30 days but before 180 days you pay 200$+ extra to cancel.

a no go for the following reason:
1) motorolla device with no confirmed unlocked bootloader
2) non-removable battery is only 1785 mAh
3) only 1GB RAM
So, unless these specs are wrong.... not worth it, IMO

#1 Not true, it has been confirmed that the Photon Q 4GLTE will be Motorola's first unlockable bootloader.
http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/07/26/unlock-the-bootloader-on-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte/
That said, I still won't buy it, most likely.

Sprint posted a deal on the Motorola Photon Q. If you pre-order and add a line you get a $100 amex gift card so may be worth it if your on a family plan.

Thanks, that was always a concern when it came to Motorola, at least IMO
Still, considering you can get an Epic for $100 off contract and run CM10 on it, and a SGS3 for $150 via Amazon/Best Buy, I am kinda unwilling to risk jumping on board another phone with slim development prospects, until I hear otherwise. Perhaps if CM accepts the device...

i would have been willing to put up with Motorola shenanigans if the thing was 720p, but it's only QHD

Is the lte sim card user accessible? If so, you can probably use gsm from there, just like on some verizon droids not advertising gsm capability.

Doesn't it have a locked GSM slot? I remember hearing something about Verizon version being hacked to use GSM in europe. I doubt sprint version is any different, but your gonna have to research it.

How does the qHD screen compare to AMOLED???? No one has answered this for me.

This isn't true. LG has a keyboard phone in the pipeline called the Cayenne.
The Photon is a no-go for me due to embedded battery. As it is I need to use an extended battery with the Epic and always carry a spare for backup.
When batteries were always replaceable I considered physical keyboard my deal breaker. Now replaceable battery is my deal breaker. I'd like a keyboard too, but if I *HAD* to choose between keyboard and replaceable battery I'd go with the replaceable battery. Keyboard does me no good if the phone is dead...

Dunno if anybody here uses QVC but yea they got it listed and available. I called up asking about it since my mother let's me use her account sometimes and they told me I had a easy payment option I could use towards it. It's on easy pay now too, I kinda backed up away from the N7100 version since there's no LTE and only 3G connections. But figured I'd inform those users who like this version.

Not sure if this will change anyone's mind but it looks like they will offer 128gb phones on all carriers. Just may not be for launch.

Don't get me wrong. I love my SD card. But with a 128gb phone, I think its doable to me personally. I current have a note 4 with 128gb SD card. Definitely don't have it maxed out. But I could see if someone had a bunch of movies it would be. Really you are losing 32gb with the note 5. I think I can handle that. If it was just 64gb I would be completely out.
Edit: Guess you will lose more than 32gb one you take in account the amount needed for the OS...

Last yr when the note 4 launched, with an upgrade, and handing in my old eVo 4g lte, It cost $100+ tax and activation. 2 weeks later picked up a 128 gb card on eBay for $110. So maybe around $250 for a 160 gb note 4 fully feature packed. Everyone this yr should just keep their note 4 or go get one if they don't.

You'd pay $1000 for a phone? You're crazy. You are the type of person Samsung loves.

I would gladly pay and extra $7 a month for a phone that I thoroughly enjoy than pay $7 less a month for a phone I consider meh... Just me though. If you wouldn't I don't hate you for it Lol.

An update on the article at The Verge says Samsung made an error putting the 128 up and that it was being removed because they are not being offered. So I'm out.
I was anxiously waiting to replace my Note 3 with 32+128, but there's no way I can get by with just 64. Bummer. It's a sweet phone in everything other respect.

Not sure if this will change anyone's mind but it looks like they will offer 128gb phones on all carriers. Just may not be for launch.

I was completely out before. Now I'm about 50% in. Thoughts?

I'm not planning to get one, but I have to say that if I had all the money in the world, I'd get several. Of course, if I had all the money in the world, Samsung wouldn't have any money to produce them.

I always buy the most storage option, I use it. Especially on the Note, use it for work and use, save & sign documents. Not only that but if U sell it the phone will be worth the most. (If that matters)

Hope that it's ok now
