Forgive me if I'm about to ask a stupid question. I'm getting frustrated with my Tilt and I'm on the ATT network in the US. I was looking at the touch-pro on the HTC website and was wondering how do you know if an unlocked phone will work in the US? Can I just move my sim card over? Thank you for any help you can shed on this.
I have a friend that lives up in canada. He's been talking to me alot about getting the G2 but it was putting him off there was no way to root the phone that is till today. Since I do not have one in hand (and no real access to one) I was wondering if anyone could post an IMEI from the G2. He uses Bell in Canada and can use phones from the states but he wants to check to make sure he can actually use the G2 on his network before he spends the $500 to buy one and get the unlock code.
anyone that could possibly post one or pm me at all?
haha...ru serious?
get the desire Z its the same phone bell even has it now
Bled thanks for the info I'll let him know about it.
I could answer your question if you had put your question in a format I could understand...
Just pm me..
Hey guys,
I need a hand! I bought an iPhone 4 to try out, and Im on Tmobile, but its an AT&T phone. Would anyone mind requesting an unlock on the website for me? I cant find anyone with AT&T to help. Ill send you my IMEI and email. Thanks in advance. I wouldve tried iPhones dev forums but Im having trouble transferring my account.
If this thread violates any rules please close it, lol!
My daughter just got an iPhone 5. Same thing. Att but on tmobile. Got 2 S4's unlocked. But I don't know Jack about iPhones . Need some help too.

Hello folks, Ive lurked here for a while and gotten great info and am hoping to get some help here. I apologize if some of what Im asking is obvious to you folks but it isnt to me so here I am. I tried HoFo but got no help there.
Ive been using factory unlocked Sony Xperias for a while (Z, ZL, Z Ultra)so never had this issue before, but I have an HTC One M8 coming and unfortunately its ATT branded, though I bought it from a private seller and not ATT themselves. Im also grandfathered into unlimited data for many years now, and with my Sonys can turn on mobile hotspot anytime and use my data with ATT none the wiser. Now Im assuming since I was dumb enough to buy an ATT phone, I will be told to contact ATT once I pop in my SIM and try to turn on mobile hotspot, is this correct? If so, will unlocking the phone resolve this issue? As of now ATT has no idea Ive bought this phone, nor did they ever even recognize my Sonys because they never sold them, but since this is an ATT M8, Im assuming theyll know immediately what Im using, identify my plan and lock me out. Im hoping I can get around that.
I also imagine since its an ATT phone it will have all sorts of abilities locked out and a lot of fluff added in. How can I get the features unlocked? Is there anyway to buy a carrier branded phone and get it to be similar to one that was bought factory unlocked from the beginning and never branded?
Any help and advice would be appreciated and TIA
Ok, if I asked too much stuff there that was obvious to you but not me, can someone just please tell me if unlocking the bootloader will at least unlock the mobile hotspot function for me so I can turn it on?
Well, just unlocked, rooted, s-off and twrpd my first phone. What a b*tch, lol! But I had to learn one of these days. Sadly, still cant get the native or any other mobile hotspot app to work though. I saw a thread about a VZW M8 hack but still cant seem to find anything for this ATT thing. No one even willing to talk to me?

You can try wiFi Tether Router. Its in the play market but you have to pay $2.50 for it. Has worked for me. I don't think this app can be dectected by the carriers like ATT because it does't use the native hotspot of the phone.
Youll have to flash a custom rom that has this feature [email protected] and is debloated,xarrier build will block it and tell you to conract them.....
This is not going to help you at all, but I pay the extra $30 per month. I use up to 50GB of data each month tethering, and I want to make sure the my carrier doesn't block me.
So now that I've done my service by telling you to do the right thing, you use to be able to go in using SQLLite and turn off the checker. For VZW it was around line 149 - 160. Can't remember. I would think you could do that for AT&T. Maybe someone knows? Or maybe AT&T doesn't work like that any more, of maybe KK doesn't work like that any more.
A friend picked up an Sprint S8+ but he's on T-Mobile so I flashed TMO f/W on it for him, however am having a bit of trouble getting the network unlock done.... Should I be trying to unlock it as a Sprint S8+ or as a T-Mobile S8+? And more to the point, I'm obviously trying to do it free if possible.
*If I overlooked the answer in another post somewhere, I apologize...I just couldn't seem to find this exact scenario/answer in any of the threads about swapping firmwares.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can give.
Thanks in advance!
Wrong area, but if you flash it back to Sprint, I can unlock it for you if you send it to me. PM me for more info, I have a store in the Bay Area where I would do it, if you're in the area you can just drop by.
