Ok 1st off I'm a noob, sorry if this question upsets anyone, I have looked and read a lot of threads. I have just switched carriers from Tmobile to Verizon. Before anyone gets upset I could not get service at my work on my Tmobile, and since we have a Verizon tower on site it pretty much what everyone uses. Well i'm trying to unlock me MT4G so I can use it with my verizon sim card. I have already rooted and simlock off via gfree. what my next step?

Umm... right.
Completely incompatible networks. Sorry.
There are plenty of nice Verizon Androids. If you don't like the Verizon phone you already have, trade the MT4G for a Verizon Android.
Next step: sell mt4g and get verizon compatible phone.

thanks guys that was what i thought just was hoping it wasn't the case. i picked up a new android today but was hoping to continue using my old one since it was fairly new as a back up. I have both the MT4G and 3Gslide from my old Tmobile acct.
Poor bastard. No wifi at work? Get a verizon mifi and use that with wifi calling. Ha!

I bought the Droid Pro almost two years ago as I am addicted to QWERTY phones and this was the only one with android in candybar shape.
Spent over $300 on it including shipping to Pakistan and its been a like brick ever since.
I usually use remote unlocking services to get unlock codes through IMEI# and did same in this case but the code did'nt work. Further investigation revealed that verizon is changing unlock codes randomly over the air.
Now three options seemed possible but none of them works for me:
1) Call verizon and get the code. - Not possible since I am not in USA and never had a verizon connection. Tried asking everyone i know in USA but they are all on AT&T or T-Mobile too.
2) Direct unlocking through USB Cable or other PC based solutions. - No luck with those either.
3) Spent another $10 for the Universal SIM Card from ebay, but that does'nt work either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had almost given up when I came across a one line post on some forum saying that its theoretically possible to get the SIM unlock code through RadioComm which is the official programming tool for motorola phones. Could someone help with that?
thanks in advance.
Bump. Will follow this post because I am in the same boat as you. Getting desperate soon.

Same same.
Looking for SIM unlock solution to use with Straight Talk. VZW & Straight Talk tech sup. have been less than helpful so far. Will update on progress.
CDMA Workshop? DFS CDMA Tools 4.0.0.4? Full versions of this software may be capable of unlocking the xt610 sim, however I only have demo versions.
Well according to 5 calls to VZW (including global support) and 2 to Straight Talk, VZW will only provide a PUK to active VZW customers for overseas travel.
There are a few other sources I'm checking out. I refuse to pay to unlock the Droid Pro

Any luck yet ?
would appreciate if you update us with your findings.
Hi all
I have an Legend AT&T that I bought on Amazon last fall.
The fact that it is AT&T branded means it demands that I have an AT&T data plan in order to use WiFi tethering. This is annoying to say the least since up here in Iceland we have no AT&T. I have contacted HTC and they confirm the phone is open and onlocked. AT&T customer support tried its level best to assist me in "unlocking" the phone with out success.
Can anyone tell me how I can get out of this predicament. I also have an ASUS Transformer that I was hoping to connect to the internet with the ATH Legend.
This restriction also means that I can not get updates for the phone since it wants to connect to AT&T for all that.
Please help.
Olafur.
WTF are you trolling or something? You're probably also one of the unluckiest people on Earth as AT&T (US) never ever released the HTC Legend. It was rumoured: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/htc-legend-coming-to-atandt-according-to-fcc/ , but never.
I'm sorry, but can you try telling us what you did to try and resolve this issue? Most importantly, what interactions did you do with any Icelandic carrier to reproduce the problem? Posting any error massages (EDIT: messages*), or more stories about what you tried to do would definitely help.
Nevertheless, I'm going to try and dissect a problem from your post. You want to activate HTC's Wi-Fi Hotspot. You can't get any updates for the phone. Put those two issues together and you end up with Android 2.1 Eclair. I want you to confirm for me that you have that (Home > MENU > Settings > About Phone). Because if you do, and if I remember correctly, back when we had the Legend on 2.1, and were harassing violently HTC for a Froyo update, we never had Wi-Fi Hotspot functionality unless we rooted.
That's all I can gather from the information provided.
Do me a favour, check at your phone's box and tell me what model your Legend is. Is it A6366, A6363, or A6365? If it's A6366, you have an HTC Aria, not a Legend, and it's a phone NEAR-IDENTICAL to the Legend that was sold down south in the United States on AT&T.
I also have another ridiculous AT&T theory. See, Americans down there sometimes refer to AT&T as Ma Bell or whatever. Bell, (Ignoring the "Ma") could stand for Bell Canada, the carrier IN THE COUNTRY BORDERING THE UNITED STATES that actually carried the HTC Legend. Yeah, it's ridiculous, but who knows? Your Amazon dealer, I'm sceptical of his service now.
Lastly, I'd just love for you to know that whether that phone came originally from Bell in Canada, or AT&T in the States, it won't work on Iceland's 3G bands. Even if you manage to resolve this issue, you won't be able to run on 3G networks. Only the newer HTC devices (starting with Sensation, I believe) are able to run all 3G frequencies around the world (except the Canadian + American AWS bands, only the HTC Amaze can do that). So if you ever manage to get Wi-Fi Hotspot running, you may only use it on 2G EDGE or GPRS, which is painfully slow to browse the internet. You could probably ad-hoc with your Transformer or something, but that's beyond my help.
Good luck!
Love, Bryan from Canada

HTC Inspire
Hi. For some reason my reply seems to have gotten lost. I will repeat.
In the interest of simplicity I called the phone mine, it is my wife's so I do not have it with me. You are absolutely right, this is not HTC Legend, it is HTC Inspire. The OS is version 2.2.2 (I am more or less sure) and because of no AT&T account none of the software that came with it can be updated. The phone does have the WiFi hotspot option but when I select it the phone complains that I must have AT&T data plan and leaves it at that. It does switch the WiFi off even if it can't activate the Hotspot. So, the option is there but she can't use it to connect her Transformer to the net. This is a really strange shortcoming. Why would AT&T care about what plan she has? Without the Data Plan she would just have to pay dearly. That would just be her desicion.
We have done nothing to get the phone to work. It connects to Icelandic carriers without a problem (yes, 3G as well) and without errors of any kind. I did assume the phone was locked when I turned it on for the first time and purchased an unlock code. That code I never used since there was not unlocking required.
I am not sure what you mean by "trolling".
Thanks,
Ólafur
Ok considering your situation you should root it. The process is very simple. It's a one click root.

Here's a video to help: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...m6DWCA&usg=AFQjCNEDETg2nq8rDBQWfKvlh9APF40fiw
It will root, unlock, install clockwork mod recovery, and superuser.
After that flash a rom. I will say I use the Rom called "Android Revolution HD 6.3.1" and can hotspot when ever I want, even without the AT&T account.
Video for that is here: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...4dTCCA&usg=AFQjCNE6rGAT6Z8pN9omO8UshYbzAup5cQ
As always I take no responsibility if you brick your device, or if you damage your device in anyway. Hope I helped.
HTC Inspire.
Thank you very much. I will root the phone.

Just a FYI for the hotspot to to work you will need a new Rom. But as I stated in my post above, I use Android Revolution HD. It's a very good Rom. Please if I helped, hit the thanks button.

Yes, avoid any ATT branding with any new ROM you choose. For future reference, use the dedicated HTC Inspire/Desire HD forums here on XDA to assist others, assist in development, or seek assistance.

Hello All,
I am currently using my i9300 with Straight Talk. What I am unable to find after research and talking to several Boost reps, is whether or not I can slam a new Boost SIM card in my phone and use it. Anyone using an i9300 with Boost? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Boost does not run in GSM. Look for AT&T or T-Mobile. Also, H2O or Simple Mobile or Straight Talk.
ask for help in the help section
So I just got a G2, and it's on the sprint network. I want to move it to boost so I can use it there. I literally don't know much of anything about unlocking, and I've tried to understand some guides but I couldn't. Is there like an easy, dumbed up guide I can read or can someone show me how this can be done?
Truthfully, one of the reasons I don't like Sprint is because they use cdma and their phones are stuck to them only and you cannot unlock their phones which greatly diminishes the phone resale value. Nevertheless you can get it flashed I believe but lte won't work
