Hi guys -- just bought this phone to be used globally.
I've unlocked, rooted, and romed this phone, but I am still receiving a prompt for an 8 digit pin upon switching to global/gsm mode (both stock and on viper). Do I need to update the radios first, or is this only solved through calling Verizon 611 and asking for the code? It just seems weird that my phone reads as UNLOCKED in HBOOT but they need a SIM passcode as well.
Any help you have is much appreciated.
Thanks,
The sim unlock is completely independent from the boorloader unlock Sir. You gotta find someone that unlocks htc's or you get an xtc clip

Hi guys!
I will be getting my Note2 from T-Mobile in a few days and I would just like to ask...
If I flashed a ROM (custom or stock) for an N7100 or N7105 to my phone...would this kinda unlock it?
I am not based in the US (I'm from the Philippines) but my relative is and got the Note2 for me through T-Mobile. From my reading of various posts related to this, it seems to be possible but you will lose signal for call/text/data. This is if one is using a T-Mobile SIM only due to the modem change right? Would I be able to at least use an international SIM instead and have everything working again? I am leaving the US soon after receiving the phone so I don't want to risk bricking and not be able to exchange the phone anymore..I could have the phone unlocked through T-Mobile but it seems to be a hassle and I would rather do it myself if possible. Also I'd like to be able to do this so I don't have to wait on updates via carrier.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated ::
Edit: old threas title is obviously a typo lol TOM=TMO and thus no one understood me lol
No do not flash a 7100 Rom on the 7105. They might be identical hardware wise but they have different firmware and you will brick your phone. If you'll be leaving the states shortly you should either wait or but the international version now and use a t-mobile sim in it.

But there's also a site called cellunlocker.net I believe you can check them out and see the price. A career branded note should work perfectly fine once its unlocked.

hi all
i bought a htc one x from my mate which he had on contract but as of now the phone has been blocked
so now im asking is there a way that i can unlock the phone and put my sim card into it im on the same network so changing the network would not be a problem if some1 could tell me if its possible i would like to know
thanks nick
if you need to contact me my email address is [email protected]
What?
Is it blocked, or SIM locked? If it was sim locked, it would work with the same carrier.
If it's blocked (by the network), ask your mate why he thinks it's funny to report stolen, a phone he sold you.
Yeah the phones blocked its because
Didn't pay the bill and they've done that is there a way around it or not

You can put any SIM you want into a phone, without a custom ROM.
If you want to be able to use it though, you'll need the phone to be SIM unlocked, which a) doesn't require a custom ROM and b) a custom ROM doesn't give you.

No. There is nothing you can do to your phone to remove a network block.
If it hasn't been reported stolen, it should work on another network if it's SIM unlocked.
People are confusing the hboot unlocked and sim unlocked to much. Ben is right ! A custom rom has no influence on being locked or not with a carrier !

And watch out with this info, it could cost somebody between 300,- and 600,- if they buy a branded phone and put in a different carrier simcard .... it's useless !
They will be having a very bad day.....
Im confused because the phone is blocked by network provider so i can not do anything to it to make it work

You could ask the carrier to unblock it.
Ive asked they said they cant. Wish was another way

Sadly once its locked from a specific network in the UK its locked from them all. You have no way of turning it on without changing the IMEI which is illegal. The phone is useless unless you plan to put a foreign sim card in it or sell it someone overseas. I've purchased cheap phones in the past and had people turn them off on me so I know what your feeling.
Yeah very annoying il just have to use it like a music player they go well with my dre beats headphones which is why i bought it nvm cheers anyways bud much appreciated

I'm frustrated already, I bought an AT&T SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and also purchased an unlock code, phone was working just fine with 4g on AT&T ( Tested ) but after unlocking I just don't get service when I use a T Mobile or Simple Mobile SIM.
On the About Phone -> Status I do get "Network: T-Mobile/Simple Mobile" ( Depending on the SIM I use ), but I don't even get EDGE, I cant make calls, I get the annoying emergency calls only, its making me crazy. Is there a way to fix this issue?
I am in Tucson Arizona, a city where T-Mobile has upgraded their GSM frequency.
( I already added the APN settings, but im sure I don't need that to make calls, or get EDGE, I don't know what else to do to fix this ).
Thanks
Does it still work on att?

Not trying to be an a$$ I rly do appreciate that you are taking your time helping me but on my first post is stated that I added the APN and that APN should not keep me from making calls.
The Note 2 uses a micro SIM, I trimmed my T Mobile SIM, this SIM still works on my HTC HD2, but its not working on the Note 2, is it possible that the phone is rejecting the SIM? does the Micro SIM has any kind of DATA that is not present on my trimmed SIM?
The phone works fine with an AT&T micro SIM but not with the T Mobile one( the phone is unlocked with a purchased code ).
I bought a Sprint HTC ONE. Apparently it was flashed to Verizon and I want it back to the stock Sprint network. I tried RUU's and it failed multiple times. I tried recover stock ROMS with aroma installer. My phone froze I couldn't turn it on until battery drained out. I thought I had hard bricked it. I tried various other things that had me unlock/relock and root/unroot. No success. Are there any steps I should take to get it back on Sprint. Or any advice on what I could do differently.
How can a Sprint phone be flashed to Verizon as there are no cdma radio in that phone. Sure it's not a Verizon one someone tried to pass off as a Sprint one? I heard people flashing the wrong Rom and their phones wouldn't boot. Might want to look as to what phone you really have.

Isn't Sprint a CDMA carrier like Verizon? Why wouldn't their phone have CDMA radio? Or do they use different bands?

Sprint or verizon

I never gave it that thought. When I dial it says "insufficient funds " and it redirects me to Verizon customer service to recharge.But when I power up and power down the Sprint logo animation appears.
You can change the logo to what ever you want.

Sprint, Verizon, and US Cellular are CDMA carriers.

No Sprint is cdma, some of their phones ( like the HTC ONE) have GSM capabilities.
nevermind
It's kinda confusing cause the Verizon HTC One comes pre unlocked and can read AT&T and T-Mobile sims. The Device is CDMA, but for LTE it uses a SIM card.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk
Alright folks. 3G and lower (1x/EVDO) tech for Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. However LTE for both networks is a GSM technology.

Have you inserted a sim card that doesn't belong to your locked network? When you do it will pop up asking for the unlock code.
