you are in the wrong site(if you know this then wrong forum), this is for htc devices and htc made devices, the sidekick is not a smartphone
but anyways aside from your error, you can unlock the sidekick but i dont know how and second if you did unlock it it will be worthless in another carrier other than tmobile. Good advice is sale it and get a smartphone or just get a prepaid sim from tmobile store its only ten dollars and it comes with activation so only 10 + tax
dont get fooled when they try to tell you its 10 for sim and 20 for activation and that its better to buy the kit for 30 that comes with a new phone. The tmobile sim activation kit is the name of it and is just the sim and they will activate it for you and you dont have to have the phone right there that you are going to use.
Just show your ID[have to be 18 or +] and after getting it just load money to it at least 10 and call costumer service[611 from tmobile cell] and tell them you have a sidekick and that you want the TO GO(prepaid) sidekick plan [unlimited everything and 15 cents per min and $1 per day even if you dont use it] but first get the IMEI because you need to give it to them
thats all i got but if you are going to keep it use it for tmobile this phone is not so good on other carriers. i have a LX and im happy just using it for internet, messaging, and mp3 player and for cell a xda flame or i sometimes switch to my unlocked att tilt

Questions: Unlock Verizon Xv6900 to Sprint? will GPS work? 3G?

Hello all,
i have a Verizon xv6900 and i was wondering if i could unlock it and use it on the Sprint network. if so how do i do this? i have unlocked a few other phones and i am very proficient with hacking windows mobile phones and such so if i had a guide of some sort i am positive i could do it.
second question is weather i would still be able to use the GPS. i have hacked my GPS to work with Verizon and i love it, i don't want to lose it if i go to Sprint. also does sprint offer 3G speeds? i get excellent speeds with Verizon here in Utah.

Dont watch much TV or visit Sprint.com much do you?? LOL just kidding
Yes, 3G is offered through Sprint its their major advertising push to be honest
If your phone is compatible with Sprint (which it is) you will have GPS and aGPS moving over to Sprint

So wait, If I bought a sprint Touch could I unlock it and Activate it on verizon? Is it possible to do the same with a sprint Touch Pro? I was told it wouldn't work because of the ESNs. I'm just wondering because the Sprint (CDMA) touch pro has more ram than the verizon verzion!!!

Sounds great! i figured i could do it. and no, i dont really watch TV. my mind gets bored with it rather quickly, to be honest i havent had a TV for about 5 years until just about 2 weeks ago i got a new 46" sony lcd for under $100, so now i may start watching a bit, who knows.
anyways, if you could help me figure out what needs to be done to get it activated with sprint that would be great.

that is correct: NO it won't work... you cannot activate a Sprint Touch on Verizon or vice-versa, because they won't be in each other's ESN database.
seems hardly worth it to contemplate trying to get it to work... all you really have to do is to sell the Sprint phone and buy a Verizon one... minimal lossage and big savings in time and frustration... (more ram not withstanding)
you *could* probably activate a Sprint Touch on PagePlus, a Verizon MVNO... see hofo for details...

Sprint Phone To Work With AT&T

Hello,
thankyou for taking the time out to read this.. i have a question, I have an htc FUZE (touch pro) flashed with energy rom leo and my girlfriend has the htc Tilt 2 (touch pro 2) flashed with energy rom leo. oops that totally besides the point.lol just wanted to brag a lil anyways my friend came across a touch pro 2 from a barber, he held on to it for a few days before he decided to call sprint and activate it.. so when he does the phone is reported lost or stolen and he cant do anything with it, or can he? im thinking if i can take it off his hands and unlock the SIM can i use it? its a sprint branded htc touch pro..or is it a paperweight now?
Thanks in advance.
Mike V

I think you can if you sim unlock it and also even then you still cant use 3g speeds but can use the edge

Man I hope theres a way. if so i know he'll sell it to me CHEAP anyone know what to try? or point me in the right direction? im looking at SIM unlockers? am i warm or cold?

If I am not mistaken the Sprint version of the touch pro does not have a sim card,( I may be wrong ) and if that is the case then no it cant be used on a sim card based network.
Was not gonna say it but.....Not the right section. This really doesnt have anything to do with rom development.

actually it does have a sim card i seen underne
HTML:
ath the battery compartment already and i see a white sim looking card in there. ill see the phone in a few hours ill take a pic n post it up. also sorry will a moderator please move this to the correct forum.

yes my sprint tp2 has a sim card. pay to get the sim unlocked and there you go.

I was aware that the Touch pro 2 had a sim slot, he has a Fuze\Touch pro
Ok I was wondering if I remembered right. Here is a convo on this same subject found with a simple search
http://eliteeternity.com/elite-tuto...-sprint-touch-pro-to-mighty-rom/#comment-1741 hi admin
you are doing an awesome job. i just had a question. it may sound stupid enough, but i am a noob. so there you go
i just got sprint touch pro. i use att carrier, is it possible to unlock touch pro to be used with att.
sprint is cdma, while att is gsm. can it be swapped? that is use sim card of att on sprint’s htc touch pro?
would appreciate if you could throw some light on this.
thanks

No. That is IMPOSSIBLE. There are GSM, and CDMA Phones. There are also hybrids with both GSM and CDMA. (the touch pro 2 will be hybrid)
The Sprint Touch Pro does NOT have a SIM card slot, and the GSM version does. Sorry Mike, but you’re screwed.
This is the very reason CDMA folks want an iPhone or something similar so bad. Because you can jailbreak an ipod (see fluffyphones.com if you want to) and use with AT&T or T-Mobile. But not Verizon or Sprint.

Sim Card Slot In CDMA Phones
The Sim Slot on your Sprint phone is for Contact use. The Sim Slots in CDMA Phones are for storing Contact Information Only.

Dammit i was hoping it would work, o well ill just have to wait and shell out the cash for the tilt 2. thankyou everyone.

I think the OP is saying that his friend found a TP2 (NOT a Touch Pro), and wants to unlock it. This thread here (started by Olipro) shows how to a security unlock and flash a patched radio onto the Sprint TP2 so it works on AT&T. Pocketnow also wrote an article and created a video concerning just that. However, the OP should not use these techniques if it is indeed a Touch Pro his friend found. Otherwise, it should work absolutely fine.

YAY i think were getting warm. My Friend NOT ME has a Sprint Touch Pro 2, that is reported stolen or lost. He didnt know that it was in that condition as his intentions were to use the phone. well he cant activate it, so he's offering it to me. but i have AT&T and im wondering if theres a way i can use it? even though its reported lost or stolen through sprint? THankyou

Am I the only one that think the phone shoud be taken to Sprint so they can return it the it rightful owner?
Come on, it just the right thing to do.
Maybe there's some BS on having contacted Sprint in the first place.

NAY.. cmon man if given the oppurtunity would u pass up a phone like this if it was offered to you for less than 100$$? i already have a HTC FUZE and my Girlfriend Has the Htc Tilt 2 so really its not a need its more of a want. And what he chooses to do with the phone is none of my business.. he's simply offering it to me becuase he bought it off a barber didnt ask no questions.. tried to reactivate it and thats when he ran into all the problems.. so im really his last resort to make sumthin back from his money.

i sim unlock verizon storm and used it on tmobile so the tp2 should work as well...sprint selling it as a worldwide phone so thats why theres a sim slot so if u travel outside the country u can buy a pay as u go sim card...s0 just unlock and use it on any gsm network

How would you feel if you lost your phone and come on this forum and see someone getting around the system to activate your lost...most likely stolen phone. (which it is at this point is stolen since you are planning on keeping it)
The technical idea of changing the radio is a cool idea for developers but if warez is banned on this forum then so should this thread on "how to steal a sprint phone and use on ATT".

This is a scumbag thread right here.
"How to re-up a stolen phone." WTF?

I agree... there is a large element of douchbagery associated with using someone's lost phone.
"Finders keepers" is fine when you are 10 years old.

Sorry. I know I'm not Mr. XDA or anything, but this place is where a bunch of cool people figure out complicated things and share their knowledge with others purely out of goodwill, and you come here asking them to advise you on how to make a stolen phone work. You're a class act, pal.

wow keep bashing man if u must know my phones are through [email protected] so do me a favor and im asking nicely.. if you have nothing nice to say dont say nothing at all. i was simply asking for some technical support to see if it would be worth my time n money to invest in this phone. otherwise.. act your age not your shoe size k.

You're asking nicely, and I'm saying "no," nicely. What you're looking for will enable the larger stolen phone market, but you don't see that, do you? No, no, you just "want" to have a better phone at the cost of the poor sucker that it was stolen from.
So, yeah..... no.

Get rid of Sprint

Hi guys, need some help.
If I switch carrier then phone automatically get bad Sprint ESN, right? If so, thats ok, because I dont want to use Sprint.
I've got Sprint L710 but I never used CDMA before, so little bit confused with how to get rid of that Sprint and make it work with Boost even w/o 4g.. perhaps 2g or 3g if possible. Or Virgin, doesn't really matter, the most important is prepaid plan w/o contract.
I'll make a root and even if then I install custom ROM then still will be using Sprint? Or after flashing custom ROM I can go to Boost and ask them to flash their codes?
Nobody else will help me, I hope for your understanding.

As far as I know. You won't get bad esn as long as you don't have any pending balances pending.
And if you pay the early termination fee.
But I'm not sure. As far as the s3 on another net work then it would have to be flashed with whatever company your gonna use it with.
But your probably better off just selling it on craugslist or eBay and buying an unlocked international version.

When I switched from ATT contract to TMobile prepaid I just unlocked phone, pulled out ATT sim card and go forward with TMobile. I didnt make any notifications to ATT, TMobile just transferred my number in few secs.
I mean how could I make same on CDMA? Could by example Cricket take my phone to their network? Is it possible to delete all related to Sprint from my phone, make it clean as from factory? And then come to Cricket or another CDMA carrier? In that case if I terminate Sprint contract without any notification I think ESN would be bad.

Well if your gonna flash the phone to another carrier like cricket. Then bad esn or clean esn don't matter. Just go into a cricket store and tell them you need to flash your phone and they'll put other on their network.

And am I be able to get at least their Cricket's 3G?
Or for that I need to go through special procedure with donors?

What? lol
they should have a cricket store where they flash phones. Idk how the procedure is done, or how it affects the phones. But there might be something screwy with MMS, but you can always ask before you do it. and there might be a fix for that sort of stuff here at XDA

Cricket said that they flash only their phones and I cant keep my existing.
BTW finally we've switched it to Verizon prepaid

weird, down here where I'm at, they flash any phone really.
well if your S3 is just a brick there you can always sell it.
If the price is low enough i can buy it from you, or also ebay

They said that in New York area they flash only Cricket phones.
But even good, cause because of I that I got Verizon.

[Q] De-activaite the EVO from a network?

Hi Crew,
Well its time to say good bye to the trusty EVO as a daily driver.. so much I love about this phone..
Anyways.. on to the G.S3 team now..
The question is.. I have had this registered to a 4g CDMA account here in China - China Telecom.. so I have the number and the simcard..
and I know a few years ago when i got the phone I had to pay someone to set it the the network for me.. now I want to pop the same number simcard into the S3 and get it going..
My first thought was.. turn off the EVO.. so its not on the network.. pop the Simcard (which was never used due to the EVO not using simcards)
in to the S3 and it should just pick up where the EVO left off.. Humm.. not the case... its not letting me register the S3 phone in to the network..
So I am wondering what do I have to do to get this working?
of course the simple answer is to just kill the number and get a new one.. but not so simple here.. as i want to keep the number.. (also the company pays the bills on it.. so I dont want to disrupt that in the accounting department.. ..)
As a thought.. If I just get the China telecom to register a new simcard with the same number.. would that work?
Anyone with knowledge on this type of thing can chime in before I go and bang my head on the China telecom counter as for sure they are going to look at me like I am stupid..

You should be able to get a new simcard with the same #, I had to do it twice on ATT. What network is your sgs3 branded to? Is it unlocked? Same questions for the EVO.
Why did you have a sim card in the EVO if it wasn't doing anything. I have unlocked plenty if gsm phones on networks in America but haven't done it on cdma networks.

BG.
Thanks for the confirmation.. I was thinking that this was the case..
Actually to answer your questions..
I never used the simcard in this evo. When I got the number they gave it to me..as I think if I remember correctly there are codes attached to it that have to be hard programmed into the evo..
I know this as I picked one up off a friend here..it was modded to accept a simcard..I took it to Philippines to give to a sweet young lady..unfortunately it was also not just a matter of slipping in the simcard and away you went..
Anyway as to my little drama..I will be into China telecom in the next few days to get a new Sim...
As to the sgs3..yes its a unlocked international version..brought in the Philippines..I have it working on a standard GSM sim at moment..
As we know..internet speeds are somewhat different between 3g and GSM networks..
I have used the 3g on the evo all over china the last few years..its been great for road trips to tether..
As its been fast enough to stream radio, music from my home NAS and even movies..data plans are inexpensive so I have a sizable amount of gigs to play with each month..
I was just back in my home country of Australia and I feel for them..telecoms there are ripping the public off with the rates they impose.. no wonder they don't stand a chance to be competitive in development compared to Asian countries.. i.e.. Korea, China.. as if you lower the entry barrier for users they will use and people will develop..but I am going off topic somewhat here..
Once again..thanks for the input.
