I'm running cm7 on my inc2 and just received the unlock code for my device. the rep told me to go into "Security" then select "Disable SIM"; however, there is no option for "Disable SIM". does anyone know how to unlock an inc2 that's running cm7? do I have to revert back to stock to unlock?
thanks
I am on stock rom and can confirm that under SETTINGS -> SECURITY there is an option under the SIM lock section called "Disable SIM card lock". If you cannot get a confirmation for CM7 then you may have to revert back. Hope someone can give you a better answer.

thanks! yeah, I checked in with someone else and they said the same thing. I hope it's not any different from flashing a debloated/deodexed ROM, so I'm going to attempt to do that first.
Doing some quick reading, one option i came across was to put the sim in another phone, unlock it, place back in yours. If you have that option...give it a try. Other than that...best of luck to you.

I looked around the CM7 menus and couldn't find anything for this. You may need to temporarily install a Sense ROM since the are based on the provider ROM. The unlock should persist once you go back to CM7.

I'm new to this forum so I have to go slow. I just bought this G2 to replace a HD2. It has the stock 2.2.1 Froyo rom. It is unlocked so I'm hoping I can fix it. Everything works ok except the bluetooth. When I try to turn it on the light just go dim then returns to bright and never turns on. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?
Also I was reading that there is a new rom out, the leaked TMOUS G2 Gingerbread 2.13.531.5 and was looking for instructions on how to flash. I'm looking for some newbie instructions on how to flash.
Any help would be appreciated.
Well it could be your actual rom that might not let the bluetooth work so I think its a great idea to change it
Okay since your phone is unlocked I'm assuming its rooted...so ima post a clip that helped out on how to change roms some time ago just let me search for it

Ok the guy I got my phone said he just unlocked the phone with a code so I'm not sure if it is rooted?? any way to check?
hmmm well if he unlocked with a code then im pretty sure its not rooted, check if you have an app called superuser
if youre not rooted i suggest u to use the gfree method (search the forums) its probably the best
Yes I do have superuser in my apps.
ok ill send you a pm
Hello,
My internet doesn't work. I already checked the APN-settings, resetted them and made them completely new. The WLAN is working perfect.
I checked that the data connection is used at the preferences. But I still get:
at HTTP Client-Test: "Fail: IOException"
GPRS-Service is not connected
"state: dcactivatingState is connecting to..."
But no changes...
Phone: HTC Wildfire/Buzz
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
Radio: 3.35.20.10
I'm not sure what to do now. Should I poste you some more information?

Hi
Hope someone can help!
I got my brother in law htc wildfire.
And got a code to open it up to any network.
We got the code from an internet site called GSMliberty, the code has worked to a degree.
It receives calls and can make them, the time is right, and the internet works over wi-fi of course.
But it will not connect to the internet on its own ie 3g.
The phone was locked to 3 and I have tried 2 different sim cards in, orange and t-mobile, both have unlimited data plans.
I have changed the apn setting to match each network/carrier and all I get is connection failed.
I have called and emailed the code people who say it is down to the data set up.
I have been in touch with t-mobile his the network/carrier he wants and they have talked us through it, as have htc help centre but to no avail.
However if we put a 3 sim back in, it connects to the internet, swap it back and change the internet setting to the network required and won't work.
Does anyone have any ideas or help?
It has not been rooted or messed with, just the unlock code.
Kindest regards
Shaun
I would suggest that you root it and S-off it. You will void your warranty is SOFTWARE level, so if any problem occur in the future you could just roll back everything. Anything you'll need can be found here
Hi what do you mean by. S- off after I root?
Sent from my GT-I9100P using XDA
First root the phone and if the problem remains then s-off. EVERYTHING is in the link that I gave you above. Almost all questions are answered there, and if any remains we will be glad to help. But is is VERY IMPORTANT TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE GUIDE THAT YOU WILL FOLLOW TELLS!
Thank you for your reply, but going to leave it. Tried to root it via superone click, but could'nt do it.
And not sure where to get kernal to do via odin.
When I have tried to get them for galaxy s2, seem to struggle to download them, hence using superone click.
Although I'm not thick, reading what people say on here is difficult to understand.
But again thank for your help.
Kind regards.

I once tried to sell a phone locked on 3 network to a shop but the Guy in the shop told me he wouldn't buy it as he has trouble unlocking 3 phones, something about the 3 software they use doesn't like being unlocked and used on a different network, I didn't really look into it as I already had a new phone and just gave it to a mate.
I think what the poster above may be hinting at is debranding the phone, i.e getting rid of any 3 branded software and flashing a generic ruu which should theoretically work on any network as long as the sim is recognized.
We have plenty of guides here if you want pointing in the right direction. Odin will only work for Samsung phones I believe and I'm not too sure superone click works on a wildfire either.

S-off is disabling the secuflag which HTC used to lock the bootloader, disabling it allows you to write to the system while the phone is on or flash a new radio, basically unlocking the phone completely.
If you take a read of "the complete wildfire guide" by 3xeno the first 2 posts contain just about everything you would need to know if you want to root and s-off the phone, Im not 100% sure you need to though as I think you can use an ruu (in post number 2) which will basically restore your phone to a stock rom without any branding. Its just a case of plugging the phone into the computer and running the ruu follow the instructions and when the phone reboots it should have been restored to factory and had the radio, bootloader restored too ruling out any problems with them if it still doesn't work after.
Sorry I can't post a link to the index as the app keeps crashing on my phone when I try.
Edit: silly me its the link posted before, trust me everything you'll need is in those first 2 posts, if an ruu doesn't do the job post here again and we'll hopefully get you rooted and on a different rom.
Hi have managed to root, but now I have internet access hut when I try connect to the android market it disconnects again.
Tried to do the s-off but was getting lost at what to do with htc supertool v3.
It is rooted but loosing signal on market access, it says conbection fail.
Untick the internet connection and retick and it starts again to surf.
Any ideas, market works on wifi!

How did you root?
Are you on a stock rom or a custom one like Cm7?
Did you install clockworkmod recovery?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
all stock rom, rooted with unrevoked
Ok then,the quickest way I think would be to try a custom rom to fix your problem, first go to recovery, turn off and press volume down and power together to get to hboot then select recovery.
Once its loaded first backup your current rom, while its backing up download a rom Cm7 I recommend, it should have all the apns setup already, look in the development section for the download or on the cyanogenmod website, you want stable 7.2 rc1. After the backups done, go to mounts & storage and mount USB to transfer the Cm7.2 zip. Then go to advanced and select reboot recovery.
Once loaded again you need to wipe the device completely, so choose wipe cache, wipe data and from advanced menu wipe dalvik cache, now choose to install from zip and navigate to where the Cm7 zip is on your SD card and let it install then reboot. It should take around 5-10 minutes to reboot as its rebuilding the software on the phone during the first boot.
If the market isn't installed you need to download Google apps for gingerbread and then flash that zip in recovery. No need to wipe anything for that, after the reboot you'll be prompted to sign into a Google account, everything should hopefully work then.

when I go to recovery, it doesn't give me the option to back up.
it says

and at the top clockworkmod recovery v
Sorry I forgot to say I'm a pain in the ass

ps do you accept donations as I feel you deserve a beer!
I think the option you need is under nandroid.
I believe that's because you're on the old clockwork v2.xxx we're mostly on 5.0.2.0+ now. Its called a nandroid backup so I'm guessing choose nandroid and it should ask you to backup, restore or advanced restore. You want to backup.
Nah I don't accept donations everything I do is out of the kindness of my heart.

no !
once you unlock the device !
it is permanently stored onto it and it never changes no matter what rom or stuff you flash !
it won't change even if you flash kdz files !
gsm unlocking is permanent for all devices !
How do you go about getting an unlock code without having to pay some website? Call the provider and say you'll be travelling internationally?
Edit: So I got my unlock code from at&t today. I've found that I can no longer access my hidden menu and I think its because I'm now running CM9 RC1. I was able to access the hidden menu three days ago while still on stock Ginderbread.
AllstarE4, yep, that's probably a good way to do it. I just spent $3 on ebay for my NCK unlock to avoid the hassle of playing phone tag.
They didn't give me any hassle about the unlock code. I just told them I would be travelling for work and needed to unlock it.
I'm still trying to find a way to get to the hidden menu now. I was able to access it on stock Gingerbread, but can't get to it with CM9 RC1. Any ideas?

cm9 yet doesnt support the hidden menu option !
you must either use stock gb or ics leak to do that !
backup your cm9, unlock your phone (gb/ics leak) and then restore your backup :good:
Do you think it's possible for CM9 to get that function? Or is it easy enough to go back to gingerbread and unlock, then flash CM9 again?

Well, ideally, you should have a backup made before you flashed CM9. If you did, then you can make a backup of your current installation, then restore the old Gingerbread backup. Then when finished, just restore the current installation.
Has anyone been able to add their cards to it? I'm on LeeDroid and it won't let me add my cards due to "me device not being compatible" or something like that... I wonder if it is the ROM.

same issue here, isnt it for US only?
You have to be in the US and also won't work on custom ROM.
If you're on a stock but rooted ROM you just need to disable root the go thru the set-up process then turn root back on.
I'm also on leedroid and can't use Android pay. I'm most likely just going to go back to stock so I can use Android pay. I don't really use any of these ROM options anyways so I won't miss anything

hi everybody
Friend of mine gave me this phone with the unlock code.
The phone keeps going to the hands-free activation screen ( which fails of course because it's either got no sim or a T-Mobile SIM in there)
Someone said it said enter double hashtag and then the msl code followed by hashtag
That just takes me to a screen where I can enter the "NAM info" T-Mobile's nearly worthless support told me to put my phone number into both the mdn and msid fields. Obviously this didn't work.
I tried the double hashtags 72786 hashtag to reset the radios, no joy. But before it should no signal at all any of the time where is now it does seem to have a connection to Sprint.
I found other sites that said that I need to enter the UICC unlock code, tapping that option or update PRL or pretty much anything else on that settings screen, just kicks open the hands-free activation screen again, before I did the step above to reset the radio I kept getting a 407 error.
Something that's probably complicating this whole process is that this phone did have a custom ROM on it and still has TWRP on it. The custom rom was wiped and I grabbed the Android 6.0 debloated stock ROM from on here and installed that to get this thing unlocked.
I'm open to trying custom roms but I need one that's going to be as stable as stock.
I would appreciate any help you guys could provide I've wasted probably about six hours on Google already. I got a lot of what appears to be pretty low-level information off of the hands-free activation menu though I've posted those photos.

One thing I find curious as you can see in one of the images that says that the Linux version is 4.0.4. But the ROM is definitely a 6.0. I'm an IT guy but I'm pretty novice when it comes to cell phones, is this something to do with the kernal?
I've been trying to download Dr ketan mod but while there's instructions for the p varient, there's no ROM download for the P version of the note 4 on his site.

I can't really help you but I can give you some info.
For 1, to unlock it correctly, you should be on stock firmware. You use Odin for that. There are plenty threads here that explain how.
2. Even if you do go stock. I've seen multiple people that can't unlock this phone, even with sprint help. It's like they don't care.
But yes, I've always heard what unlocks the phone is the uicc unlock code. But good luck getting it or getting it to work.
3. I wasted a week trying to figure out unlocking my phone. Not because of $, just wanted to try to figure it out. But i said, F#&k it. And paid Idone apps to unlock mine. Worked flawless!
Good luck!
As far as roms. There are plenty that work great.

Looks like I broke the second half for the quote mechanism, sorry when u load up Odin, will it find the stock round that's supposed to be on this phone? Cuz I got what I thought was a closest to it.
The phone still has trwp recovery on it tho, and it knows it's custom.
I got the msl code, seems to work. My fear is that the problem is on the phone and not the carrier end.
How would a non stock ROM impact this process assuming that everything was kosher on the carrier end?

I don't understand. Does your phone work with service? Did it ever have service? If it had service and now it don't, then you did something.
All i meant. Is if your trying to unlock your phone. It's best from stock.
