Unlocking

Hello,
I am thinking of purchasing a used HTC Magic (Mytouch3g) form someone for 200. I live in the US, but Ido normally live in Asia. Can I unlock the Tmobile one to use elsewhere? (note. I do have Tmobile for now in the US, but I would like the option to switch). I used to have an HTC Touch diamond, so im not completely new at flashing. Anyways, will rooting and flashing allow me to switch networks?
Thanks
trev

No it wont. Flashing new roms has nothing to do with unlocking your phone.

than is there a way to unlock the phone?

Yes, some sites sell these unlock codes.

Look it up elsewhere, this is development forum.

[Q] AT&T Fuze in europe

Hi, i friend gave an HTC Fuze (GSM) locked on AT&T.
will i be able to use it in europe if i unlock it?
there is some radio-flashing needed or it will just work with any european Sim after the unlocking process?
Sorry, this may seem a stupid question but i'm new to this world
also:
What is the best way(site) to unlock it? i've already looked into that and i know it is a service that needs to be payed off.
Thanks in advice

Ok, it worked, thanks anyway.

re: FUZE unlock for europe
AT&T unlocked mine for free. Just call and ask. I used my FUZE all over Europe and enjoyed very fast speeds from the local carriers there.

[Q] Motorola Defy

I have already purchased unlock codes of two unlock code websites and both gave me the same unlock code which neither work,also i have been into a local mobile phone shop that unlocks phones but they were wanting to keep the phone for a week and charge me £35 . Can someone give me some advice for instance can i unlock it myself? if i root it will that unlock it? cheers in advance!!

Defy
Hi did you have any luck with the unlock

Hi there no i havent had any luck in unlocking the phone the i have been in touch with the ppl that sent me the unlock code and they say that the codes provided are 100% genuine so im all out of ideas.

Call T-Mobile
If the phone is no longer under contract (the old owner finished out the contract, or the phone was bought full price, or whatever) they are pretty helpful with unlocking them, at least in the USA.

agreed. call the carrier and if your nice and have been with the carrier long enough they usually can help you out.

My Defy came from Argentina... No chances to get an unlock code... Does anyone know another way to unlock Defy? Actually mine is just like an IPod

Currently there is no know method of sim-unlocking the Sensation without an unlock code purchased from a site. Also, this thread should be in the General forum, not here. Please some mod move this

Where did you get the phone from?

You could always just call T-Mobile. They always give me the unlock codes. I ust tell them (ATT also) that I am using the phone overseas, and I need the unlock code to use an international SIM. ATT usually just gives me the code, and T-Mobile emails it within 24 hours. I have yet to be told no by either carrier.

Not that easy : in France, the Sensation is atm SFR exclusive (same as Vodafone)
And they don't have the codes handy for the time being even though they're forced by French laws to give it for free to those who bought the phone with a pre-paid offer !

Is it Vodafone branded? Just that the Vodafone Uk Sensations are sim unlocked. Have you tried it?

Vodafone UK already unlocked
I assumed when I got my Sensation from Vodafone that it would need to be unlocked to accomodate my Orange SIM. So I was looking around for an unlocker and was just about to part with cash on one of the sites, when I thought I would pop the Orange SIM in the phone to see what the error message would be.
I was then greeted by the Orange carrier signal and all was working fine!! Glad I didn't pay my £15 I would have been well gutted.
So yeah, I can confirm that the Vodafone ones in the UK are already SIM unlocked. Nice!
Also - off topic - there is no branding on the phone other than a quick logo upon booting up the phone. So all in all a good deal.

Well, As far as I know the phones in Europe don't have simlocks, so I suggest you try it first when your phone arrives and than look if it has one. It could be it's simlockfree at the moment it arrives.

but im getting mine from tmobile USA.
There should be a website or something that does this

I just picked up two today, if I find out I'll let you know.
To my knowledge if you buy the phone outright, tmo will provide a code but their cx service is closed so im calling in the morn

Your understanding is incorrect.. ony in certain countries eg belgium the law mandates that the phones cannot be locked to a carrier else most of the countries eg france, put a simlock

[Q] Help me, did I Got Scamed?

Hello,
I just came back from US, I`m from Brazil.
Bought a SG6 edge from craigslist. Posted a "Wanted" topic and arranged a metting with a man who said the phone was unlocked and would work with any carrier GSM.
Well, only discovered that this was a Sprint model (SM-G925P) and that it was locked by sprint when got in Brazil (**I know that was kinda dumb).
My question is: This model could work with GSM carriers? in Brazil we only have GSM carriers..
If first answer is Yes, It is unlockable with unlock code?
Or should I just re-sell it on Ebay and pay the international shipping?
Edit: Ohhhh great, also just found out that this phone has a Bad IMEI/ESN. This is bad for me, even overseas?
Thanks!

The bad ESN should only keep you from activating it on Sprint. Sorry that you got scammed...that sucks.

Thank you. ]
does this work with GSM also?
How could I unlock it?

The only way to get it unlock is thru Sprint. Sorry you got scammed, but you should have asked for the ESN before you bought it.

I know this is an old thread but looking for any advice. In a similar situation/scam. The ESN is not blacklisted, just still attached to a account. Thought I did my homework and called Sprint before purchasing and verified that ESN could be used. They didn't tell me it was still attached. Do I have any options as far as using this phone or should i just try to sell it to be used on another carrier or overseas? Any help is greatly appreciated?

i have the same model.. unlocked in Mexico... what firmware do you have? if you need help send me a message on facebook search me up with this exact name...
