do i have to unlock a locked device after flashing?

---

hi @all,

i bought a locked g1 on ebay. it will arrive next week.
i am going to flash a jachero on it and root it and stuff.
do i have to care about unlocking it or is that solved by flashing?

is it appropriate to ask if there are other ways to unlock it than buy an unlock-code on those commercial sites?
has anyone experiences with getting a code directly from tmobile? the device was in use for 3 month so maybe there is a semi-official way...

thanks in advance

ahh okay thanks alot. i saw that thread before but didnt really understand that register and unlocking is the same

no problem hehe You'll still need a SIM if you want to have internet access

yeah of course probably i should do these steps AFTER i flashed it, right?
