Hello,
I'm new to this as my post counter suggest. I just bought a used Telus HTC Desire, I'm new to using Android device as well. I was wondering if I need to root the Desire to obtain 3G from Rogers. I tried using the APN from this thread but it still never showed up on the top notification bar. I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Thank you very much for reading this, I hope to have a reply soon.
Sincerely,
Steven K.
No just unlock and type in the apn. Rogers bell TELUS virgin etc use the same networks.

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

This reminds me of one of those Nigeria scams

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Thanks a lot
Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Could you tell me what site you or others used for unlocking the phone from which you could re use the key?
Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?
I am on at&t and I got A Inspire 4g it is is Great Condition no Scratches or anything it is only a month old and i was wandering if if any one would trade me a Canadian G2 so i can use At&ts 3g and since the inspire 4g is new and the G2 is getting dated i would need it to come unlocked so i can use it that is a must and preferably i want it rooted so if you are serious about this you can just reply to this thread and email me your phone number and if you want i will send you a picture of the inspire
bump for your cause.
There is no canadian g2. Chances are you won't get 3/4g with it on att anyways

I'm sure that is what he means as well. The Bell Desire Z is fully compatible with ATT's 3G network.

The Inspire is just the ATT branded version of the Desire HD, which came out around the same time as the Desire Z/G2. And both phones are fully compatible with ATT's HSPA+ "4G" network.
What don't you like about the Inspire? If its the lack of keyboard, you should try Swype. But you would have to play some games in order to get it loaded, since Swype is not a Market app.
Where are you located? In in Ventura CA and am kooking to trade for an Inspire 4g for ATT. I have the Desire Z unlocked on ATT. Its in great condition. Maybe we can figure something out.

I know that the inspire 4g is the same as the desire us I just
ment that the phone itself is new. And I am talking about the desire z
but I thought if I put that in my post nobody would look. The reason that
I want a g2 is that I just love the way it looks and I prefer a hardware
keyboard. And to the person that asked I live in Somerset,Ky Zip Code 42501
and of you are serious about the trade then private message me your
phone number and I will text you
I have a female desire on us cellular. I have s-off and rooted running cyanogen 7.1. I was wondering if what I did allows me to us my phone with other carriers. Thanks for all help.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't. Cdma desire is the short straw of the lot. You also can't use any of the nice new sense 2.0+ rom with it. But there's someone out there working on it in another post. I hope he still is anyway
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA App
thanks a million. Blugrass pissed me off so i just stoped paying. But i love my phone and would like to keep using it. I wonder if i could use it on sprint. The only thing is that us cellular runs off verizion and so does sprint. I know they block your esn but i'm not sure if it's for us cellular or just for who i'm using.
You could probably use it on boost, but sprint won't activate it.
I've searched these forums, but can't see any clear answer. Can you flash a T-Mobile Wildfire S to work on Virgin Mobile's network? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they pretty much the same phone?
Same phone different stuff one has a Sim one doesn't check my post on all the stuff for VM it has everything and its up to date

If your in the uk, then yes you can
All phones in the uk are GSM and there is no cdma, so can't speak for other countries.
I was really happy to get a Desire Z thinking I would be able to toss my active Straight talk/AT&T sim into it and be off and running. Unfortunately after rooting, unlocking, flashing a new rom, and entering the APN's, I'm still stuck with only a really slow EDGE connection. There was an old post about flashing a new radio, I'm curious to know if anyone got it working correctly?
Thanks!
So everyone here is on Tmobile? No one has a Desire Z on AT&T (with or without straight talk)?
Look around a bit more, that's why no one answered...
