Unblocking the HTC G1/Dream with a PUK

leave a comment

If you’re stupid enough like me to manage to SIM lock your G1/Dream, you might wonder how to unlock it with a PUK code seeing as there’s apparently nowhere to enter it on a G1/Dream. The process is to click ‘Emergency call’ and enter:

**05*$puk_code*$new_pin*$new_pin#

and press call. A nice sign of the times is that you can also obtain your PUK code online, with T-Mobile at least.

Changes

leave a comment

A lot has happened in the past couple of months, a few big decisions were made.

The first less-important change is that I’m making the move from Manchester to Sussex. The lack of opportunities in Manchester wasn’t helping anyone and friends and family seem to have all migrated down south too.

The vastly more important change is that I’m going to be a teacher. I applied for a PGCE course in ICT at the University of Middlesex and got accepted. This is massively exciting for me and I’m really looking forward to it.

I’ve set a sparkling new category for documenting my PGCE (and beyond) progress as a prospective PGCE student I wish I could have read an account of the process to let me know what I was in for!
