Hi Everyone, i am new to xda so forgive my mistakes,
I have brought a htc incredible 2 form usa via ebay.com its ESN is clear but
i don't know how to unlock is for gsm use, I live in India and i will be using it here only,
i have seen that you people tell to call verizon and ask for the code but my problem over here is
that i should have a verizon account of good standing and atleast 60 days old( none i have)
so what to do how to unlock, i am tired of searching the internet but not able to find one,
also i can't purchase 12$$ code as it is very costly and also i don't have any means to pay in dollars
i have seen people talking about some chineese roms etc, i also have heard that unlock code can be calculated by
using LGE tool activated to setool, Kindly Reply Guys!
My mobile's IMEI is 3549740497661XX
Update: i don't have paypal, i will really praise the one from the bottom of my heart who can call to verizon from u.s with a verizon account
on my behalf or any sort of help will be praised! The real problem is that its not my mobile, i bought this for my sister
and she is going outside after 4 days and she will take this mobile with her and if its not unlocked before that i will
feel ashamed as my sis was telling to buy an unlocked one but i bought a locked one as it was very cheap in compared
to the locked one, so plssssssssssssssss guys HELP! Can anyone calculate the code with LGE tool on my behalf
Anyone willing to help PM me i will send the full IMEI

hello, im having a similar problem. i have Verizon and am canceling the service and getting straight talk instead. when i put the new sim car in it doesn't ask for a code, but says it's switching to cdma mode. I've read a bunch of threads on here and don't really understand a lot of it, so if you can tell me like i was your parents i would realyl appreciate it, thanks.

Is there any other way to unlock an HTC HD 7 without using Chevron?
Yes, Via IMEI unlock
Can you post instructions for a free or very cheap method of doing this? I have 2 HTC HD7 phones from T-Mobile, but am not a customer with them anymore and they will not provide the unlock codes unless I sign up for service with them again.
I want to use the devices with AT&T now.

i'm not a really pro developer but i suspected those bugs before.. finally a real developer suspected that.. eager to see who's going to help fixing them
call tmob and tell them your going to europe and u need your phone unlocked.
I can unlock and root both of them with my XTC clip. Contact me at xmoddz.com or pm if interested. Although this requires you ship them to me
find someone that has tmobile account and ask them to request an unlock for your phone

If you live overseas, get the Incredible S, it's the same phone, but meant for non-Verizon customers/people who want the Inc2, but live overseas.

Best advice.
Verizon won't give me the unlock code, they tell me I have to be out of the country first with the other provider's SIM. Is that true? What number should I call and what should I say (or what option should I pick?)

That's the same thing they told me. I have tried 3 different unlocking sites and non of them could get the code. They said my imei is too new.

Did you call the global support number? You'll need to call that one to get anywhere.
im not sure if we're talking about the same unlocking number, but i got my unlock code from gsmliberty.net, and I can use the phone on t-mobile now! if you need proof, check out my youtube video on it, if you make a youtube video of you unlocking it, they refund you the price you pay! But that site is completely legit, and I got my code in about 5 minutes, hope this helps!

Can any one please confirm if Hercules is locked to Tmobile
Thx
AG
Yes! Got it today to use with provider other than TMO but SIM is locked...Looking for unlocking solutions now!
darn it!
thanks for the confirmation.
any idea if the SIM unlock method for the SGS2 works on hercules too?
Try the SGS Unlock app from Market. Let us know if it unlocks.
Ya its a real bummer!
If your talking about the one on the market. I was considering that but it says needs (root) superuser???
I called Tmobile 4 times already. First they said they dont give the SIM unlock yet because of the 14 day return policy, so I would have to call back after then. Calls two and three was "you dont have an account with us? Oh sorry we cant give you the unlock code then... Final call our asked for supervisor and they transfer me to Tech. department. Tech guy was cool and gave me a number to fax my receipt showing I paid full retail for two phones plus some add'l info for them to be able to get back to me. He allow them 24-48 to get back to me!!! But it could take as long as 7-14 days. I'm sure each and everyone of them was looking at the SIM code unlock screen as we was talking. BOO TMO!!!
is tmobile really selling the phone for 529.99$?
i checked wirefly and letstalk, they charging like 600$ !

i just bought my phone full price too. and i forgot to ask that girl for the unlock code. i got the phone with 30$ prepaid plan, if coverage is good enought i'm going to cancel att!
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can recall is..
You can only request 1 "sim-subsidy unlock" every 6 months. Your post paid account must be active for at least 30 days. Prepaid accounts must be active for 60 days with at least $10 balance in the account. If you purchased a phone at full price, you can fax in your proof of purchase to the "Blackberry & PDA support department" for a response within 24-72 hours.
I work for T-Mobile, I'll check the specifics the next time I'm at work.

That sounds about right on with what I was told. I dont have any sort of account with tmobile so I had to do the fax method so patiently waiting since 24 hours now.
Are they reliable to send if you did fax them receipt or do they still find a loop to say no?

This is exactly what you need to do. I called to do it but actually never did, though they sent me the code. I decided it was better for me to just keep my number active for emergencies when I went abroad.

Do any of you mind requesting the unlock code for my Hercules? I am not a T-mobile subscriber. My cousin tried to do it for me, but they wanted a copy of the sales receipt....I bought from a phone shop, not an authorized T-mobile store, so I don't think they will accept my receipt.

I tried to help out someone off of Craigslist before by doing this. You will have to allow someone you trust who is a T-Mobile customer to put their sim card in your phone for a couple of days for T-Mobile to pick up the phone. I tried getting the code by using the persons imei number and they accepted it and then sent me an email 24 hours later about my sim card not being in the phone.

I tried going through the beaurocracy (or however it spells) of T-Mobile to get an unlock code, but never got one for various reasons. You're better off at least trying.
If you don't get it, cellunlocker.net is not a scam. I ordered an unlock code from them for my T989 and got my code within the day. All is unlocked and fine.
I was wondering if it is possible to SIM unlock the Inc2 without buying a $4 code.
If you are using the phone on an active account then vzw might give the code to you. I believe that they require 6 months of good payment history. Just call them and say you are going to travel out of the country. It can't hurt to ask them...

4$ is a lot isn't it...... Maybe if you ask nicely Verizon will give it to you.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
I'm actually not with Verizon, I'm on Pageplus, but wanted to switch to Tmobile.
Its not about the $4.
I was simply wondering if it is possible via software to unlock the phone or is it simply hardware locked?
I believe it is hardware locked. I could be wrong though. I know that I have seen websites that claim to give unlock codes away for free. I would worry about how safe these are though. They could be cloning ESNs or who knows what else...

IF, if you can find the proper, correct 8 digits unlock code to input - you will be set to go, you get up to 5 chances, or is it 10 chances before it's permanently bricked (destined for eBay as quality pre-owned parts for sale, LOL)
For the price of a premium Starbucks double latte, you could try - or give it up & give $4 to them to try (most offered a refund with video documentation of failed efforts) - success had been reported.
On the other hand, I believed VZW changed the factory/default 8 digit codes (OTA ??) and stored the new code, unique to each IMEI in their own SQL/database - accessible to global support CSR ... I understand it's difficult when you are no longer on VZW being on PP now.
We unlocked ours in under 10 minutes by dealing with VZW as account owner in good standing, free, yada yada - YMMV, of course.

Thank you for posting this, I was going to when I got out of work, it is dangerous to post your IMEI in a public forum, its like giving everyone your social security number for your phone.
I know this may not be the correct place to ask this but....is it a viable choice to use my dinc2 on att? I've heard different stories but the posts I've read were a little dated. If not could somebody suggest one that does work well with att? I don't want to buy a new phone because I can just trade around with Craigslist until I get the one I want lol. Thanks in advance for any info.

It's a unique code for each phone. You send them your IMEI and they can look up your specific code from some database.

As somebody said earlier call t-mobile and talk nice and they might send you the unlock code but this will work only if the phoe is registered with t-mobile (bought from t-mobile)
Else pay for unlock code. many sources available on the web or may try a local dealer who may do it for you.
Good luck
Just read this...damn I was hoping you could unlock it like the G2 bummer guess I'll have to call. I thought you had to have the phone for 3 months though can anyone confirm?
