Thanks for the extreemly good software of the XDA Developers team and a serial cable I unlocked my XDA in a minute.
Thanks, Thanks.

T-mobile unlock
How about T-mobile, will it work in the same way. I have recently purchased T-mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition, but I don't know how to unlock it as it is not working with my GSM provider in Europe (Alcatel).
Do you know how it will work with my T-mobile.
It has been a while since I have read the boards and so I am having a problem finding any information on whether or not I can purchase a MDA II and use it with my T-Mobile service in the USA. I currently have the older version of the T-Mobile Pocket PC phone and would like to upgrade to a new phone. Can anyone help me with my question about the MDA II in the USA or is there another PocketPC phone you would recommend?
I think the MDA II/XDA II only works on 900MHz which is used on European networks. I'm not sure if it works in America or if it works well in America.
Actually, T-Mobile USA does 900MHz don't they?
T-mobile in the USA use 1900.
As far as I know the MDA II is triband so it will work with T-Mobile USA
It will NOT work with cingular

Any phone that uses 1900MHz will be fine for you then.
I have an O2 Xda II bought in Singapore last Summer and I use it in NY on T-Mobile. It works great.
I have just upgraded my ROM using the latest UK patch 1.72.187 (radio 1.17.00) and it works fine.
Hi my first post here...
A friend of mine bought me a relatively cheap XDA 1 which previously was a T Mobile XDA 1 from US.
The phone itself already updated to WM2003 but it cannot support my country's GSM1800 network.
FYI the phone was unlocked to support other country's telco already.
But seems like only GSM900/1900 are supported now.
Is there any solution?
Pls help...
There is no solution, the hardware supports 900/1900 on your phone and cannot support 1800 band.
I have a Hermes and am on AT&T/Cingular mobile in New York and I love my phone. I have a friend in India who would like to buy one and wants to know if it will work in his country. I told him that I thought it would, since it is quad-band.
Does anyone have experience using the Hermes in India. Please let me know. Thanks in advance for any information you have to share.

Works just fine in India. Employees from my company go there and use their 8525s all the time.
HTC Hermes in Bangladesh
Works great in Bangladesh as well. Relying on it for my sole internet access from the jungle via Grameen EDGE service (GSM 900/1800).
Dear readers,
I'm on holiday in the US, and tempted to buy the Note 3 (or 4) to replace my trusted S2.
Are there any unfixable issues I'll run into when I want to use the phone in the Netherlands? I've read about the region lock issues that can be fixed by rooting and using Chainfire's Regionlock Away, but are there any hardware incompatibilities? Different types of sim than available in Europe, or antenna band frequencies that I should take into account?
Thanks for helping me out!

Netherlands uses Note 3 N9005 versions (International). The issue you might run into, is the 2G/3G/4G bands used, as they vary by countries.
Not sure, how easy it is to get N9005 in the US though.

I would stay away from it to avoid region lock as you mentioned but there is away around it i believe, Not sure if through root or not.

The frequency bands are incompatible.
2G will work without issue.
3G is a maybe depending on your provider and that of the phone. But mostly no. (And before anyone asks, getting a T-Mobile US phone does not mean it can run on T-Mobile NL networks. It won't. Yes I've had that question pop up before. Repeatedly.)
4G is an absolute NO.
Simcards are the same (MicroSIM).
RegionLock Away will take care of the Region lock (Yes it requires Root). But it won't solve the frequency issue, and you can't force N9005 firmware onto the USA devices.
Also, be sure to use it at least once, charge it before your flight and don't try to bring it through customs in the box or they will charge you the import and export fees.
You're better off buying one in Germany, Austria, Belgium or another EU country. (Fun note: The Note 4 will cost 806 euro's in the Netherlands. (With Media Tax). It's going to be 699 in Germany. (With Media Tax.))
I'm not sure Chainfire's region lock works on KitKat, actually I think it doesn't but I would like to be proven wrong. Also most carrier phones (like ATT or T-mobile) will be SIM locked as well and yeah, as already stated, some frequencies will not work.
Thanks for clarifying this guys, especially ShadowLea. I'll just get the phone back home
