[Q] Canadian Virgin WFS

Anyone unlock one of these? I seem to remember reading somewhere a few months back Bell (who now owns virgin) saying they will never unlock it.
However I see that there are "WWE" branded unlocks for my version, wtf?
Here is the url of the exact phone I have - http://www.virginmobile.ca/en/phones/phone-details.html?model=HTCWILD&colour=White
Please no "I unlocked my DerpCellular wfs, you can too!!" stupidity that most of these threads digress into, either you have the exact phone or not. Anyone who lives in Canada and deals with Bell will understand why this needs to be asked

Hey, another virgin canada user.
i have that exact phone (same colour too) with virgin. Mine unlocked just fine via the htcdev unlock. You just need to select the "Bell Mobility WWE" RUU when unlocking it.
unlocked and rooted. bye bye useless bell apps.
be sure to notice that the unlock does a factory reset. back your stuff (contacts!) up before you start on it.

So when you say unlocked using the DEV tool, does that mean its network and sim unlocked? Also just curious, I have a Bell SIM card, can I use this in this phone without unlocking the network/sim?

nope, the htcdev bit only unlocks the bootloader. the sim lock and all the other bits of s-on remain in place. you'll need an xtc clip or an unlock code if you want the ditch the network shackles.
as for the virgin->bell, no idea. there seems to be conflicting information on whether bell/virgin sims are interchangeable or not. some people report it works, other report it doesn't.

Excellent, I was NOT expecting to be able to do this.
And now for a stupid question, what is a good way to back everything up for a quick reinstall?

AFAIK, There isn't one really, other than exporting your contacts and writing down all your apps names, as all the real useful backup methods require root.
OTOH, unless you like customizing extensively, it should only take a day or two to get things back to normal.

[Q] SIM unlock with engineering bootloader S=OFF?

Hey guys,
I am not new to XDA or HTC devices, just this phone. I recently came from the HTC Glacier (MyTouch 4G) on T-Mobile and got the incredible 2.
I would like to know a little about the Engineering bootloader on this device and if it allows the sim lock to be removed. On my other htc phone, the engineering bootloader allowed this, giving access to any carrier sim card.
The incredible 2 is a global phone and allows access to T-Mobile's 3g network if the sim is unlocked. What do you guys know about this, if I root, enable s=off, flash engineering bootloader and custom recovery, then flash a custom rom and enter the APN for T-Mobile, am I good to go, or is there some more complex thing I am missing?
Any advice would be much appreciated

uh cool... thanks guys

If you don't have a contract with verizon you will have to pay for unlock the phone,there are a couple sites that they unlock you devise for a couple $$$.

From my limited understanding, it is possible to unlock the SIM with s-off and rooted, but you need to run a sense-based rom; SkyRaider Zeus is one. You then need the SIM unlock code which people report they get for free by calling Verizon or online anywhere from $7 on up.
And my limited understanding is the result of reading/searching this and other fora the past couple days.

difference between bootloader and SIMlock

Hello all,
I just got an AT&T HTC one X (first smartphone in my life), rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader by following the tutorial posted on XDA and official HTC bootloader-locking website. (Hail grankin01!) I am pretty sure that my HTC is unlocked (UNLOCK was shown on bootloader).
When I plugged in my SIM card, which was from T-mobile USA, I was asked to enter 8-digit network PIN number. I was confused and started to google related information and found no tutorial regarding how to unlock SIMLock. (It seems I need to provide IMEI and purchase from phone-hacking website.)
I have no intention to ask how to break SIMlock or PIN number but eagerly want to know the background and difference between bootloader(hardlock?) and SIMlock.
I am very new in the area of Andriod development and smartphone (touch-screen phone), the terminologies or concept I used above could be flawed and make no sense. I will be very appreciate if someone corrects me or posts related information.
Thanks!!!

Bootloader is only for for changing roms, not SIM
Sent from my fauxed HOX running ARHD 8.0.0

A boot loader unlock means you can flash custom ROMs and recoveries
Sim unlock is so you can inserts different providers sim
You can usually get your sim unlock code free by ringing your provider and telling them you are going abroad and would like to use an international sim whilst away

Sim Unlock Problem...

Daer Members...
I have 4 One X, which is sim locked. I obtained sim unlock code from my unlock reseller, which shows incorrect code in all the mobiles.
I tried changing more than 3 rom's with the same mobile cid for all the phones. After that also code is not working.
Also i tried another unlock reseller for code, but the code came was same as given by first unlocke reseller.
Is there any chance to read or find sim unlock code from mobile partition.
Actually in which partition the sim unlock code will be there.
How to view or check Dumped Partitions from HTC One X
Note:- All HOX are Generic, Endeavoru S-On, Not Carrier Branded like AT&T, Telstra, Rogers, CID is HTC__034...

"Unlocked"

If my device was originally AT&T branded but then bootloader unlocked, then S-off, and super-CID....... ... and now has latest developer firmware flashed with Custom 5.01 ROM , like LeeDroid's latest Sense 7 -- will that phone be "carrier unlocked" if I were to try to use another SIM like from T-Mobile??
I don't have another carrier SIM to test it -- planning to sell

No. SIM locking is separate from CID/MID locking. Unfortunately, since you have flashed the most recent firmware, the one hack that used to work is probably unsafe to attempt at this point. Instead, you will need to get an unlock code from AT&T or buy one from a service. (or inform the buyer that it is still SIM locked to AT&T, but that's going to cut the value a lot)
