[Q] Sim unlock codes from tmobile didn't work, can gfree unlock after 3 attempts?

---

I requested a sim unlock code from tmobile, and I received it. I entered it twice with a non-tmobile sim, and both times, the code was rejected by my my Mytouch 4G.

I'm since asked t-mobile to recheck the code (IMEI was correct). They said they would, but that they couldn't guarantee that they could send me an accurate code.

I understand after 3 attempts, it permanently locks. I have one left.

I understand I could use gfree method to sim unlock. It will take some effort to reflash back to older roms, etc.

If I try a 3rd time and cause my phone to lock out further attempts, will the gfree method still allow me to unlock?

I would rather simply deal with codes, but if I risk permanently blocking the ability to unlock my phone, then I'll give go the gfree route instead of trying again.

thanks

Just flash a stock rooted froyo rom, an run gfree, that's not hard to do.

Afaik gfree doesn't count as an attempt. it is different from receiving an unlock code

i can give you a link to buy official unlock code from an eBay seller (which i bought to unlock my MT4G),if i allow to post & if you not use gfree.

ok, figured it out. When the phone was booting up, it was initially asking for my pin on my sim card (i was using a vodafone websessions sim), not the network unlock. Once I entered that correct, I got the network unlock page, and that worked.

priyadharsini - your post reported, spamming by paid unlock sites, not for the first time. I hope this time you'll be banned.

I wonder why those sites are even needed? I will be damned if I would pay for something I can do myself!
