I think you're confusing rooting the phone with unlocking the SIM. The G2X is already rooted but there's partition differences with the O2X that the devs need to be resolve.
G2X Unlocked(SIM) on AT&T 4G
- Thread starter Lightning N1
- Start date
lol no im talking about unlocking the phone to use on different carriers
i have unlocked my:
samsung vibrant via xda help (no carrier/manufacturer help)
HTC HD2 same way
and last but not least my old black berry i had (from att not tmobile)
you can find ways to get the unlock code within the phone it's self...it takes a long time but works! as ive had att sim cards in almost all of my phones
Yeah some phones have the unlock codes on the phone itself lore the galaxy s series, which with a little root you can unlock yourself, other phones don't have this option available to them, hence the need to have it done by the manufacturer

learn something new every day thanks!
i assumed all phones had it hidden some where inside of their guts
according to the spec sheets on t-mobile it supports all at&t bands. It appears that some you really can get an screwed over android phone totally working on AT&T. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...9f8d8baa3b&shape=smp#T-Mobile-G2x-with-Google
If I were to order it right now, with overnight shipping I would get it the 19th...which is before the 20th...so it is not a pre-order. Pre-order means it wouldn't ship UNTIL the 20th or be received on the 20th. Not arguing just saying...
does t-mobile even offer overnight?
i asked for this devise and they said no....
i really could care less when it comes cuz i got the phone free of charge but still if there is a overnight option ill be pissed
mine left ohio for buffalo ny at 3 am. sat. night. ups is showing that as the last update. it's only a few hours drive between the 2. ugh. i saw no overnight option when i ordered at midnight on thursday. just got home from work hoping to find a package.....no go.
my left louisville, KY
should be here mid day tomorrow!
and im guessing yours will be too!
There is an option, but this is NOT guaranteed:
Sign up prepaid and get this phone (yes, you can mix and match your phone) and keep it "active" for 3 months and see what happens.

The problem a lot of us have learned with T-Mobile is that your shipping method has nothing to do with when you'll receive the phone. It'll ship overnight like they say but there's up to three days of internal processing at T-Mobile before it gets to UPS. People who ordered at midnight on Thursday and paid for Saturday delivery didn't have their phones leave the T-Mobile warehouse until today. I had a UPS tracking number (two day express) since early Friday morning but the phone didn't get to UPS until today. T-Mobile's internal systems obviously aren't too robust. I don't think they held the shipping up because of a 4/20 sale date; I think they're just incompetent.
In that case, until someone offers or makes a software unlock, this phone is off my radar.

If you buy on a contract you can't have it until after your buyers remorse (14 or 30 days). Full price can be requested as soon as you buy and FAX. I KNOW what I'm talking about

I should've been specific when saying, at least the people I encountered, would not supply a key when you buy the phone outright.
Yes they will unlock it for you if you bought it at full retail price and here is the Email from T-Mobile Sim Unlock Team and it worked, but I have bad news I called Tmobile and LG and had extensive conversation with them, basically came to the conclusion that the frequencies are there but the software is not configure to work with AT&T's 3G network until and if the merger is fulfilled. And even a Tmobile advance support hinted that this was done for their business purposes not because the phone wasn't capable.
So I have a G2x unlocked working on AT&T's voice and 2G after a quick APN setup, but no 3G.

Re-posting what I have found here:
I just got off of the phone with t-mobile customer care (1-877-453-1304). I called them because I wanted clarification on this before I purchased 2 full retail price phones.
The program is called the "Sim Subsidy Unlock Program." It is for anyone that purchases a phone for the full retail price from a corporate store or an authorized retailer and pays all of the price upfront.
You need to call customer care, explain that you purchased a phone for full price and request a "remedy request form number." They will then open this request and you then have 7 days to fax the following to the Sim Unlock Team at 1-813-353-6557 :
ATTENTION: SIM UNLOCK TEAM
Full Name
Mobile Number
Email Address
Readable Copy Of Sales Receipt
It takes 24 to 72 hours to process and they will email you instructions to unlock your phone.
