I'm currently using an HTC Touch (Vogue, Unlocked, Custom Rom, yadda yadda yadda) and I recently came to acquire a used HTC P4000 (Telus's Titan version).
I still have some monkeying around to do with the P4000 (Upgrade to newest official rom among other things.) to see if I'm interested in using it as my primary phone instead of the Touch. Can someone explain if it's possible to have the P4000 running on the Bell network- and who I'd have to talk to in order to set that up.
I'm assuming that it would need to be unlocked first (not sure how to do the p4000, I did my Vogue without any issues though).
Alrighty then.
Did a little forum lurking and I now have a fully unlocked P4000 running DCD's 4.1.2 rom with the Bell Carrier. Boots instantaneously and works wonderfully. The man is a bloody genius.
Now, as to my original question - I have my MSL for both my current HTC Touch/Vogue (Bell) and my recently acquired P4000 (Telus).
Is there a way/method/guide I can follow to manually program the P4000 to work on the Bell network in place of my Touch?
Do I find an underhanded/former/corrupt Bell employee that will transfer my settings for $25?
Do I see my friend who has a friend who's cousin knows this stuff?
Do I take it to the Bell store and say "My phone no workie, I has replacement, make workie?"
I hate to trash on my Vogue but this P4000 is pretty effing slick. Gotta love the Wi-Fi and actual movie acceleration for non-horrible playback.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Your biggest problem will be to see Bell will accept the P4000 ESn number in there database. If they won't then flashing and unlocking isn't worth your time.

So for those like me who purchased a virgin mobile legend we won't get it. Not sure what to do then.
Although it is a virgin phone, all I did to it was unlock it to use with Rogers. What should I do?

i have a virgin legend too so am in the same boat...not really surprised that virgin is not coming out with the update - welcome to canada
i really want to flash the unbranded froyo rom that came out today but unfortunately it doesnt look like its possible now...
until we can change our cid's or have a resigned ROM with our cid (BM___001) we would have to root and go with cyanogen 6.1 or another custom rom (not my 1st choice)..
if anyone has a workaround please help us out...thanks in advance
Well I wouldn't mind trying a few ROM's, but I'm a complete join with this stuff. I suppose I need to learn now...

I bought a Legend from Virgin mobile in August. I became tired of their games and recently purchased a sim card from Bell and put it in the Legend. Guess what? It worked no problem. I can tell you I never unlocked my phone. The Virgin Legend did not have any Virgin mobile software or wigets in them. The only place I saw the word Virgin mobile, was in the network operators list, (mobile network settings), and in network operator name,(about phone, settings). These changed from Virgin, to Bell when I put the Bell sim in. I am now wondering if my phone is still branded to Virgin. If it is not, I would suggest to the OP that you terminate your account with Virgin on the basis that they ended your upgrade path, then take your phone over to Bell, or maybe even Rogers. that said, how do we know that rogers would care to license an OTA upgrade for a phone they never sold? At least Bell sold the phone for a few months.
I got my phone from Virgin as well and I am using the modaco stock froyo rom. It is basically stock except it's rooted. The experience will be exactly the same (unlike using other custom roms) Trying to make the new ruu work on a Virgin phone is probably not gonna be much simpler than rooting, so you may as well go the rooting route.

you realize bell=virgin right? bell discontinued the legend so you wont see an update from them either...
Not so my friend. Check out post #14

I figured they (virgin or bell) would either do it really late or not at all. So I debranded it, but got the same error as in the other threads during the upgrade.
Then I decided to try CM 6.1, and the only thing i regret is not trying it sooner. Never going back to sense again, CM is cleaner, faster, with lots more options.

It's based on the vodafone rom that came out couple weeks ago but there is nothing about vodafone in it (no logo nor junk app). It should be identical to the one that came out today (at least from the end-user point of view anyway)
Here is the link:

You guys really need to stop emailing unknowledgable "support staff" and wait for official announcements like this one from the Virgin Mobile Canada twitter feed:
"android update! we'll be offering android 2.2 froyo update for htc legend in mid-january. stay tuned for details."
Looks like official Froyo for our Legends after all!
couldnt possibly wait until jan and dont want any bell stuff on my legend so installed the official htc unbranded froyo rom....

Yeah, I couldn't wait either and put Cyanogenmod on my Legend. My wife will be getting the Virgin update when it's available
Hey guys!
Just to be sure, is Virgin Mobile software version the same as the Bell one?
If so, that means if Virgin get the update, us with a Bell phone will get it to?
Virgin announced the Vibrant's update, and it was rolled out to Virgin, Bell and Sasktel so I assume so yes.

Hi guys,
I've looked in other threads, but there doesn't seem to be any solid answers for myself... I've seen some threads about flashing the Sprint epic to Cricket...
does this apply to other providers such as Bell in Canada?
I bought an epic thinking all cdma network should be compatible... until I got the phone and called Bell to activate the phone, they told me it won't work because the phone is locked to the Sprint provider.
I understand there really isn't an "unlocking" procedure for cdma phones, what can I do? I've spent a great deal of money over shipping and tax.
Please help me out,
Kevin
I was walking my dog the day after St. Patty's and came across a Droid 2 phone. I called the last 3 people on the recent calls, left messages, and no response. So I figured I'd try to make this a testing/whateva phone.
My question is this....Can I actually use this phone with another carrier? Like Boost, or cricket? and how can I unlock it to do so. I just rooted the phone with no problem, but I would really like to unlock it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can get it flashed to cricket or google how to flash it yourself if you already have a cricket account.
Also DO NOT upgrade the firmware to .621 aka 2.3.4 or you will lose root forever!
/ is cricket the only possible provider? I've heard in the past sprint or att are possible options, and I've googled for months and still found nothing. Right now I'm on att with 2 infuse 4g's.. but I did buy a droid 2 and an x2 when I was with verizon...(sold the x2, to someone who got it unlocked). Any help from anyone would be huuugely appreciated..

If your Droid 2 is a Global you may get it unlocked to use AT&T. normal Droid 2 lacks a SIM card so only cricket/page one is all you can use outside of Verizon
Hey guys. I have and Unlocked and rooted i9505 S4 (at&t branded), currently running the Goldeneye rom. I recently switched to T-mobile and wanted to make use of their wifi-calling feature but even after installing the t-mobile sim card, I dont see an option for wifi calling anywhere.
can anyone suggest a way I can get wifi-calling on my unlocked/rooted at&t branded s4? thanks!
I think you might need to take it to T-Mobile store. From my understanding, it is only for SGH-M919. AT&T phones are not compatible, even if you switch carriers. You may have to flash a T-Mobile Touchwiz rom, not sure. If anyone thinks I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. :cyclops:

Thx for the reply rootnerd! yea thats the problem i'm having... I read that some people got it working with a flashed a T-mobile rom while others said they couldn't. So I was trying to see if anyone could shed some light as to which T-mobile roms with the wifi calling feature could be flashed via safestrap on an at&t phone, because I don't really want to buy a new phone from t-mo just yet

Yeah this is where AT&T users would know the answer. I currently have a T-Mobile S4 but I really don't think it's worth keeping Touchwiz just for WiFi calling. But everyone has there own perspective.
