Is this possible? I'm a GSM user but my cousin is trying to join on to the android project with a Vogue. So with a GSM u would unlock it and use the sim however i dont know if you can unlock CDMA since it has no sim... can someone tell if i can and how? thanks.
I have A CDMA USCC phone, which I had to unlock to upgrade the radio for better GPS. Just read thru the very good instructions in the unlocker thread in the vogue upgrade section here and post any followup questions to this in the unlocker thread. Just be sure to read, as the more you know the better off you are.
And remember, search is your friend

Hey guys, please excuse my noobness, I have read thoroughly but I am still confused!
I have an O2 Orbit (ie Artemis) and I am going to the USA soon.
I've become a bit confused as to what I need to do to my Artemis to get it working with a prepay sim in the states.
I've seen the posts about cid unlocking, but I'm not sure if that's the same as a sim unlock, and I don't want to brick my phone!
I'm not too bothered about cooked roms etc, I have updated to WM6 and I'm reasonably happy with it, I just want to be able to use my phone in the USA.
Would someone be kind enough to take the time to explain what I need to do?
Thanks
I forgot to add, I tried this tutorial to perform a sim unlock:

but unfortunately the 'artemis sim unlock' download link is broken
I think it should already work in the US. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that only phones bought in the US from a provider are SIM-locked. CID unlocking is only used to help you flash your phone to a different ROM, which, as you already mentioned, you are not interested in doing.
I see, so CID unlocking is nothing to do with what I want, I simply need a SIM unlock, assuming my phone is SIM locked.
SIM locking is normal practice for UK service providers, so I assume it is locked.
Is there any way I can tell if my phone is SIM locked, or do I have to test it by putting a SIM card from a different provider in it?
I have a xv6700 for verizon and i am trying to update my phone for 6.1... First someone told me i need to find the latest bootloader for my carrier. Can someone tell me what that is and where to dl it. Also is there a tutorial on all i have to do to make it work because i dont want to brick my phone
hello??? still need answer for this one
You already posted in the Apache section & that is where you should be looking or your bootloader & ROM. Read the rules before posting.
Hello guys. I want to know if the HTC HD2 will work on the AT&T network without any problems. If i were to unlock the phone do i have to flash the ROM in order to do so or i have to use a website that will unlock it for me?
u are posting in the wrong section but all u have to do is call t mobile if u bought it from them if not then u have to buy the code from a website
so the best way to do it is through online ?
You cant use any other way like flashing a ROM ? Because i want to run it on ATT
Even once you get it unlocked it will still be handicapped with only being able to use Edge and not 3g on AT&T network.
no type of flashing will unlock it only getting the code from t mo or buying one online.
Hey peepolz,
I just purchased a used T-Mobile HD2 for some rom tinkering. I'll be using it in India. Was wondering if I needed to unlock the sim through WinMo 6.5 before installing Android or would installing an Android Rom over WinMo automatically unlock it, since it is practically a completely new software over the old.?

a) No.
b) Read guides in sticky first before asking questions.
c) Wrong forum. Please post question in the "questions" forum, this is for posting ROM's/Builds and related development ONLY.

1) No what? It gets unlocked after putting in Android or needs to be unlocked?
2) Sorry, my bad.
3) Moderator, please pardon and oblige.
It neither requires SIM unlocking, or does it. (Assuming you're using the correct provider's SIM!)
In simpler words, Android does not sim unlock your phone.
Sent from my HD2 running Android on NAND
unlock the HD2 for 20$.. there are few sites available.. i tried with this way and it works good in Indian SIM
if you bought without any contract, call Tmobile customer care and get the unlock code...
once it's unlocked you can use it in India..
Installing rom won't unlock the SIM lock with tmobile
Thnx Guys.
Hello, i just bought a verizon htc trophy and i live in Peru, does someone knows a website where i could unlock free?
also, i read when i flash the phone to a custom ROM the phone free it selfs?
To carrier unlock it, you can call Verizon and ask them to unlock the SIM for international travel, but no guarantees.
To developer unlock or full unlock (using either WP SDK for the first or the DFT HSPL tool) the Trophy you need to follow the various tutorials out there.

They have a number for peru.
0-800-50010
If that doesn't work, just use the live chat at VerizonWireless.com

To have the sim unlock you have to call verizon. There isn't any other way to unlock it unless you pick up an aftermarket sim, which I can't help you with. (I don't know, nor know if they are legal in the US.) They might be able to unlock it depending on how long the last owner had it on their plan.
Besides, its a good PDA. Flash the Norkser 8858 rom and follow the steps for CAB updates in the WP7 Development and Hacking forum.

That not quite how windows phones work. Flashing a different rom, only flashes the OS, not the stuff that directly interacts with the Hardware, e.g. the Radio driver. There is only three radios for the Verizon Trophy and they are all from Verizon, so there isn't much to do. The Radio is what controls the SIM locking, and no one has tried decompiling it, afaik. I'm afraid that you either have to contact the last owner or call verizon. Not much more I can do.
You can try and see if its been already unlocked by inserting your SIM, but chances are that it will prompt you for an unlock code. You can get that from various sites online and pay, or try Verizon for free.
