Has anyone been able to get the Imagio to work on any other carrier other than Verizon? I just bought one that is unlocked put my SIM in it but it still wants to dial Verizon, instead of T Mobile. What do I need to do to get it to use T Mobile as a carrier?
Have you changed the phone mode to GSM only?
Send key >> Menu >> Options >> Network -- select "GSM/UMTS only"
See if it works then.

Do you have a working SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobile in the SIM slot?

Call VZW and ask.
On ebay it's a ton of services about whitestone unlock, and my problem was an issue on the operating band of GSM for example in the USA you must use 950/1900 on other countries like Costa Rica you need 1800, thanks to all for your help
You should be able to contact VZW and have them unlock it so you can use whatever carrier SIM you have for the country/area you are in. The stock SIM is Vodaphone and I think will only work where Vodaphone service exists. Otherwise make sure the phone is in Global and not CDMA only. Go to the Settings Tab, click Menu then select Phone Network Mode select Network tab.
I called verizon and they gave me codes to unlock both my phones. I slapped an ATT sim into my imagio and it was working on the ATT network, no problem at all.
Hi, where do you enter the sim unlock code on Imagio?
Thanks.

I just got off the phone with Verizon in regard to this.
Below is what I found. The Global Verizon Rep will be happier if you enter the code while you are on the phone with them; they want to verify that it works. It actually took about 10 minutes.
Here is what I found: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/htc-imagio/138569-how-unlock-verizon-imagio-sim-card.html
If you are going to be traveling abroad or simply want your Imagio to be unlocked its very easy to do and should only take about 3-5 minutes on the phone with Verizon.
Call 1(800)-711-8300 from a different phone, enter your Verizon phone number, then select option 2.
Tell them that you will be traveling abroad and plan to just buy a pre-paid SIM card when you get there, and that you simply need the unlock code for your phone. They will check your account standings, and then give you an 8 digit code.
You need to enter the code in the security section of your phone.
With TF3D...
Start>Settings> All Settings> Personal> Security
Without TF3D Enabled...
Start> Settings> Personal> Security
One you do this, soft reset your phone and you are all done. I can take my work phones SIM card (AT&T), put it in my Imagio, and use my Imagio for work now. I did not test the data yet because I do not have data on my AT&T plan. Although if anyone does this and wants to check it, keep in mind you will have to change the number for the data line. both Sprint and Verizon use #777. I am not sure what AT&T or TMobile use.
I have an Imagio from VERIZON.
I had unlocked the GSM network, Should I Unlock the CDMA network as well if I want to use the CDMA Net work?
or I jus need 1 unlock code for both GSM and CDMA?
So, I will have 2 no. in 1 phone one is injected, and another one is using sim card.
I have just got hold of a HTC HD2 that was on the T-Mobile network.
It was supposed to be unlocked but when I turn the device on , I still get the T-Mobile banner
Also, when I go into change the networks, it only lists T-mobile, no Orange listed. Also, 3G option is greyed out!
I currently have an unlocked Touch Diamond 2 with v6.5 on it with no issue and can do all of the above
The HTC HD 2 does seem locked down on the T-Mobile network
Anyone got any advice??? Thanks
unlocking the network wont alter the installed rom in any way. The tmo rom will by default be trying to use the tmo network settings (including the tmo proxy).
Personally i'd try the following
1 - settings - menu - all settings - connections - connection setup
or
2 - do a hard reset and let the phone pick up the connections from your orange sim
or (my personal choice)
3 - flash a non branded rom and let the phone get the settings from your orange sim.
The T-mobile ROM doesn't have the connection settings like the wwe rom.
I think you'll either need to flash the wwe rom or change the connection settings manually.
Does the phone pick up a signal at all? it sounds like it could still be sim locked?

part of the ROM, won't change because you unlocked it

again part of the ROM, won't change because you unlocked ita

Confirm.
My workmate had the same problem. Got unlocked HD2 (ex o2) and started using with Vodafone SIM. He couldn`t get 3G working at all (txt and voice working properly). Flashing new ROM helped. 3G working on 1.66 WWE stock and all the cooked ROMs we were dealing with.
After flashing new ROM, put your SIMcard in, and at start you will get a list of about dozen carriers to choose from, pick yours and the phone will download itself all the settings required .

Really strange case:
I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.
I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.
I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.
Status:
On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.
Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).
On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.
I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.
So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.
Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!
However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:
I put Beeline card in
Manually select operator (Beeline)
Turn off the phone
Put in ATnT simcard
Turn the phone on
In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".
If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.
This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.
Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.
Hi,
I just unlocked my AT&T Note 4 and I'm using it on T-Mobile but have some questions.
1. Even though I'm able to make calls on T-Mobile network it doesn't seem to be able to connect to the data. When I shut off Wi-Fi it's not able to connect to internet. Is there some setting I need to change?
2. How do I delete all the AT&T apps? It only allows me to disable.
3. Is there any T-Mobile apps that I need to install?
4. When I go to Settings >> General >> About device >> Software updates it still displays "AT&T Software update". Is there T-Mobile equivalent and how do I make the phone use that?
Thank you.
A heads up while i cook up a guide. THIS ONLY FOR CDMA TYPE SIMS NOT GSM SIMS SORRY.
So i got an EBAY offer for HTC 816 Sprint New in box at 65 dollars, i foolishly bought 2 thinking they accept GSM SIMS but it is only CDMA type sims, anyhow, i got one working on a non Sprint Carrier (not US) and after all th ehasslem wanted to share to see if it helps someone as well).
- Basically you need to be S-OFF (Sunshine.apk)
- Install HTC Drivers and HTCDiagnositcs Drivers (google them and how to install on device manager).
- Place the phone on Diagnostic mode ##3424#
- Select DM Mode ON
- It will ask for an MSL Code (you can get this from sprint or if they hassle and make it hard you like they did me, just get MSL reader from google play *must have root for that*)
- Select Serial Port ON and again place MSL Code.
After that, you must install the FDS program to change the the signal from NV to RUIM (this makes it so it can accept non Sprint SIM) *i suggest you google FDS and how to change configuration. It is free on google they trail version does the job.
- Check what COMM port the cellphone is comming under in device manager once all drivers including Diag mode drivers have been installed. It is usually Comm11 or Comm12.
- Once that is done, in FDS Main screen check ADD COMM PORT and add the comm you see your phone under device manager.
-After that hit connect/read and all you device info should appear.
-Once all is read go to PROGRAMMING TAB and there hit CONFIG and then READ. All you device info should reappear if all is well installed.
- On the very top tab you should see "NV", on that tab change it to "RUIM" or "RUIM PREFERRED".
- Hit WRITE at the bottom.
Once that is done, go back to your phone and DM MODE OFF and SERIAL MODE OFF or you screen will not turn off automaticly.

After all this, i am able to use my local CDMA carrier and thier LTE SIM just fine. THis phone does not have the 1900mhz LTE frequency they use but thier 3G is very good and stable.
If you are just like me that bought two of these sons of Bit*** thinking they are GSM, at leat you can use them n other CDMA netwoks with thier cdma sims Currently using mine on TRICOM CDMA network of Dominican Republic
Hope this helps someone in the mean time.
I can't seem to find that FDS Program you mention, can you link me please
So I've obtained dfs an did this, will do again an double check, but not sure yet if it will work. Going to try to swap to version an or straight talk, as they the only working carriers in my area. Will report any progress. But much acquire Sims first. If anyone has achieved this, could you confirm your success?
Op, Please help with the link to download the FDS program.
waiting in anticipation
