(I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. If so I apoligize in advance.)
Hello, I currently own a G1 and am fairly pleased with what appears to be a promising operating system. I do have one gripe though, the SIM lock imposed by T-Mobile. Why this was implemented on an open platform, I really have no idea. With that out of the way, I would like to excercise my right to get 'down and dirty' with the dev kit/source code to unlock the phone, but I need some help. If someone (preferably from HTC/Android team) can answer these questions, it would be very much appreciated: 1. Where is the decision making process made in the code to prompt for a subsidy unlock code? From my understanding, the phone will read the first few digits of the ICCID of the SIM card, which identifies the carrier against a list of valid numbers stored somewhere in the device. 2. Is this possble without a modified build of android? Could this be coded using the dev kit and offered via the app store? 3. If I were to compile android from source, how exactly would I upload that image to the phone itself? I know in order to get the phone into bootloader mode, I have to hold down the camera button when turning on and then a rainbow colored screen comes up with the "Serial 0" in the center of the screen. I assume this means that there is a console ready to interface with, but I havent been able to establish anything.
