Below is the email I received from T-mobile after requesting an unlock code for my G2. This email was received within twelve hours of requesting it.

The actual message I received was different from what is stated below but logical. When I entered my unlock code and pressed OK. It stated "Unlock Successful! Reboot immediately". However the phone was frozen and I had to remove the battery.

After turning it back on I had completely disabled G2 that had to be returned to T-Mobile. It is an known issue with G2s. Don't attempt to unlock a G2 until this issue has been resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Below you will see the Instructions for unlocking your HTC device.


1. Insert the foreign SIM card
2. Power on the device and the display should read "Please input unlock code"
3. Enter the unlock code and the device should display "Phone is unlocked."
4. Allow the phone to scan the network (or manually click on the antenna icon to do this)

Hey all. I want to post something because I have recently spent ages trying to get my phone unlocked and it turned out to be pretty hard indeed...

I used a one company that really abused me and I had lost all faith in online unlocking... Not sure if I can put their name on here (though I'd like to because I want them to be accountable for how they treated me...

But there was a light at the end of the tunnel - I eventually found a guy on ebay and called him. He was friendly and helpful on the phone and I paid him
