how to unlock simlock? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can i use this method?
[TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root & S-OFF Guide)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537

i highly doubt it seeing as the EVO isnt a gsm/SIMCARD (att, tmobile, simple) phone... its all CDMA/NO SIMCARD (sprint, boostmobile, cricket, metro, pageplus, etc) So u are able to unlock programming and activate to another CDMA carrier...whole other ballpark

To the best of my knowledge, no. The Evo has no simcard, so you can't unlock what it doesn't have. Just for future reference, this type of post should go in the Q&A forum rather than here in development. XDA tries to keep threads in here limited to active ROM development, ports and How-To guides. You will also get a more thorough answer to your questions over in Q&A, since people with knowledge will be in there looking to help with stuff like this. Posting in the correct forum will also keep your blister count down as you won't be getting flamed by the forum trolls. Hope this was at least a little helpful!

Pierceye that was awesome explaining how these forums work instead of blasting the guy. Way to often people around here are quick to jump someone's ass, some of us around here haven't lost our decency and remember we were all once new here.

Thanks twice! Trying to encourage a bit more civil attitude. Seems a shame to drive new people away before they even learn the ropes. No new people means no new ideas=Bad for ROM development!

[Q] ...How Do I root it?

Maybe I'm blind, but I'm searching all over the dev forum for the incredible 2, there are no official links that explain how to root the phone. Please help, thank you.
I would think that if have been searching you would have read that there is no way to do a software root. You probably would have also read that you can buy an XTC clip to achieve S=Off.
Is this just temporary or will there be a way to software s-off? I'm sorry I have been searching and reading I just don't understand I'm a noob the original incredible was easy to do cause I used unrevoked
Again, if you had been reading, you might have come across a thread that discusses the software method of S=Off.
link me please?
to answer your question... no there is no software unlock yet. It is coming, it has been verified to work and has been done to a few testers.
there is no ETA.
if you need it now, buy an xtc clip and you can unlock it immediately.
lastly, this should be in general, not development.
thanks brah
Sit tight bro. Root will be here soon enough. Add the the thread to your favorites this way you can stay up to date on any news. As for being a noob don't let some of these cats intimidate you with there snooty replies. I'm sure they were never noobs.

There is life beyond the message board, you might want to have a look.
I understand that this is a matter of semantics, but the I2 was rooted long ago...with software. What we're lacking is an unlock to allow root to be permanent (persistent through reboots). You can root now and gain many of the benefits (and problems) of root if you really want to without paying a dime.
Now if you want to use custom firmwares, that requires unlocking. This can be done with a piece of hardware that is available now, or a piece of software that everyone is still waiting on.

I have done some searching and have found two possible routes. One is AlpharevX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132920&page=40) and the other is with the Rebel XTC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156534&page=5).
The sites are http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/, and http://www.xtcclip.com/.
AlphaRev is still beta though they claim no bricks reported so far. Since it is Beta you are supposed to interactively get a Beta key from their site to activate the software. This key is generated only if it 'likes' the serial number. The latter by the looks of it is a hardware tool which loads on your sd-card. If you go the alpha route then you must manually download and install the viow version of CWM! Still waiting for Unrevoked!

[Q] Help rooting Evo4G (Supersonic) with Gingerbread

Hey guys, been looking and tinkering all day with this. Just got a new Evo 4G that came with Gingerbread on it. rEVOked doesn't work on it to root it and I cannot seem to roll it back with an RUU.
Phone Stats:
Android 2.3.3
Baseband 2.15.00.05.02
Build 4.24.651.1 CL61076
Software 4.24.651.1
Any idea what I need to do to root it? Even if I could find a shell process to root and load Clockwork I'd be happy.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys might have for me.

Thanks for that I did search, I've been searching on here, androidcentral, cyanogenmod, xda, google, rEVOked, etc. I have seen some people be able to roll back the RUU but I've had no luck, that's why I posted the question. I understand the search functions on forums, but haven't found a definitive answer. Apparently though, there is no root for devices with 2.3.3? or just the Evo?
The lucky ones that were able to downgrade with an older ruu already have s off. But I know its not just EVO 4G its other devices as well. The sensation just recently hot s off if I'm not mistaken.

The 2nd poster is right, I'm gonna give you crap, because this is beyond annoying. There are THOUSANDS of posts now, including plenty of threads on the front page of each section that say that there is NO ROOT!!!!!!
I know you 'claim' to have done a search, but there is no WAY you would have posted this if you did, because you would KNOW that it cannot be rooted. This reminds me of the guy that lied to Chef Ramsey on Hell's Kitchen last night....
Either you are too lazy to do a quick search or glance, even on Google, or two naive, so turn in your internet privileges card. It's been revoked....

You guys are totally right. I'm just some idiot that doesn't deserve to be on here. Even after the hours of my attempts and searching and trying today and then posting a question after everything I've done didn't work... despite seeing some people able to roll back the RUU and then root it. I have no idea why I even attempt to get help. There is always someone who wants to jump in someone's **** for asking a question. I wouldn't have asked if I knew definitively that there was no way to do it. I figured I was in the right area to ask if anyone knew any tricks for this, but apparently I was wrong to ask a question at all.
Thanks for all the 'search for it' replies...oh, and calling me a liar and whatever else will happen itt besides answering a question like an adult.

You asked a question that has been asked and answered 100's of times on here. If you truly did a search, which I do NOT believe you did, you would have seen it said, over and over and over and over again that there is no way to root your phone with the version of Android you have. There is no mistaking it, no gray area, no maybes. It's been definitely posted in onther posts RIGHT ON THE FRONT PAGE, there is no root.
typical reaction from someone who just got called out and exposed....
"Hours" of searching, huh? You seriously deserve the crap you've taken. There are even countless posts about attempts to downgrade the RUU. I suggest you actually search next time, instead of lying about it.

just to test a theory i pretended i was newbie coming here to find 2.3.3 root
so i typed "2.3.3 root" on the search box...
that turned about 10 threads in wich any i could easily see that there is still no exploit / root for 2.3.3
now , notice i am not being an ass about it, but its as simple as that bro, if you dont want to put in a wee bit of effort on finding the answers , dont expect people to put in effort to try to answer them either, that is being selfish
but i hope your question is now answered, trust me , you WILL see stickies , you WILL know when root is achieved if you just chek in these forums every couple of days, but for now, dont be suprised if people get mad at you for wasting their time answering stuff that has already been answered a thousand times for the last month
Just gotta say there is a new thread like this every stinking day, sometimes 2 or 3. Any research or just plain looking thru a few threads would have answered your questions.

If you really searched, you should be ashamed of yourself. Its pretty embarrassing when I count 5 threads in the first 2 pages on this very matter that you some how missed. No excuses. Do a better job next time and you will receive hospitality instead of hostility.

Why questions and answers? Ok so I set up an account here in xda hoping to get some useful insight about some things for my phone. Well since I just set up account here on XDA can only post here.

I know it can be frustrating at times especially when you need an answer asap.. but there may be a few reasons why no one answers your question
-its been asked way too many times (search for it)
-no one understands your question or knows the answer
-the evo 4g isn't neccesarily "new" therefore there's less traffic in this forum
-People work have other things to deal with and it may be a while (sometimes a long while) before you get an answer.

Basically covered all the reasons why not to reply.
And when your question is about MetroPCS (I checked), you're less likely to get replies because the vast majority of members here use Sprint.
If there's a specific site for phones flashed to other networks, you'd be better asking there. People can't answer what they don't know.

Not going to beat a dead horse here but another tip here that you didn't hear from me is the bump. You posted that question 5 days ago and I assume was 3-5 pages back by now. I usually give my post a day then go back in and post the "anyone figure this out yet?" bump. Usually it will get a response. Like they already said, this forum is over a year old. Most have moved on and the ones that are here with the answers usually only bounce in and out of their own Rom threads.

Experienced users do post in the Q & A section. And to make a thread just to see if it gets attention seems like a trap / childish [to me] , just like a person would pretend to have a fake bf/gf to see if the other gets jealous. Though regardless, experienced user do post here, I've seen it quite frequently. IF there were some question that wasn't answered and someone knows someone who can help, 9/10 that personal would say, "I don't know how to help,but if you look up _______ they can help you."
Also, the only place you can't post til abot 20 posts or so, if the development section. That's only because a lot of new users post Q & A questions there, clogging up that board, when they belong here. You can still read and download rom, just can't post there til ~20 posts, when you are more 'educated' on the forum. No bad mouthing, just saying.
I totally understand cause yea you do see it all the time where at the end of a guide full of roms. Someone asks what's a good rom or where do I find it. We should be able to take a test on experience to bypass the 20 post thing. My frustration came from knowing my answered would of lyed on this forum but no one even viewed it for days. I'm over that's what I get for getting a device that's over a year old. But hey its a big step up from my old one.

Do you mean your mobile network settings? If so I can answer your question, your sim card has those importen settings saved, so if you turn on your phone with the new rom everythink will work on its own
Yes but that's on a gsm phone, and my metro pcs wildfire is a cdma. And I read that the metro cdma loses mobiledata when rooted.
I'm running the same phone, rooted, with a stock+a2sd ROM. Mobile data works great.

in short, bobdamnit you have been less than unhelpful and should keep out of things that are not addressed to you!
i only wanted an answer from a dev, or someone who has had this problem and fixed it.

I, too, have witnessed garbage responses coming in from certain members of the community who (I'm sure, if asked) consider themselves to be the greatest thing to happen to the Internet since streaming porn.
Because of the useless replies coming in, I actually included a disclaimer in Post #1 of a question thread I started (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487627&page=5) and got so much grief because of it! In the end, I think you will see I was justified, though.
I asked that only those who actually know the answer, please respond. I also said to please not respond with a certain type of answer (because it misses the point). Sure enough, both my caveats were violated. And now, some elitist members are trying (emphasis on TRYING) to make me look bad, but failing miserably. The beauty of an email thread is that you can always scroll up and read what everyone wrote. The issue here is that some folks took HUGE offense when I told them their answers were off the mark (because they were!). There were a couple of folks with helpful insight - which I thanked, but those posts of mine were conveniently ignored.
I even had one developer proclaim that devs hated the android community, and yet I am the one being rude?! Simply stunning.
Kudos to you for sticking to your guns and I hope you eventually find the CORRECT resource (on this forum, would be nice) to help you through your WFS issue.
It is for those reasons that I am giving you your first Thanks!
Thanks for posting such a note. Hopefully others will open their eyes because of it.

[Q] Incredible 2 on T-Mobile's GSM Network

Greetings,
I've spent all day on this so far and haven't come up with any definitive answers so I am posting here. Forgive me if these questions have been answered, I haven't found them yet.
History: I have a Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2 that a friend gave me when she upgraded. As of this moment it does not have a SIM card, and there is a slot available for one. I called T-Mobile and a SIM card is on the way from them. I am opting for a pay-as-you-go solution because I really don't care about data, coverage for data is spotty in the rural area where I live and not worth the cost of a contract with a carrier like Verizon. I unlocked the phone today with an online service (gsmliberty.net) and it worked great. So I have an unlocked phone, Verizon's stock ROM, and a SIM card from T-Mobile on the way.
I want to use the phone for calls (of course) and to use wifi when it's available. I want to be able to use the phone as a music player, snapshot camera, and play audio books on it too.
Questions:
What is the best ROM for T-Mobile's pay-as-you-go GSM network for making calls?
It is my understanding from reading scads of forum posts that CDMA vs GSM is all about data speeds, is that correct?
Thank you ahead of time for any and all useful information.
I haven't used GSM yet but I would think that GSM would be slower considering you'll be runkjng the phone on a different carrier.

I understand and I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse or kill kittens but searching for GSM turns up so many topics that I ended up being more confused than finding answers to my questions. After searching this forum for hours yesterday I still had not seen the topic you sent me the link to. Thank you.

Thanks for the replies knipp. I agree, a sticky or pinning the topic would be a good thing. I almost volunteered to set up a post for that but need to realistically look at how much time I could devote to it first.
Thank you also for the additional link. I am keeping a pretty good record of what I am doing, so when it's all said and done I will post how I got my phone to work with T-Mobile and GSM to help other people with the same questions and issues.

That thread has literally everything you need to know, and I have a youtube video on how to do it, and the thread is now stickied. I have t-mobile working just fine on my droid inc 2, no offense but people really need to read /:
