Ok, I have seen many posts about this model and how to unlock it if it's only SIM locked but no one has yet decided to give us a program to generate the unlock code. I have started this thread maybe someone will finally post the app to generate the code by imei as I have seen on another post for the Touch model.
I am willing to donate money for the guy's work but I have to decide how much if it works.
This forum tries as I have seen to offer free stuff for people, but with the unlocking tools, simple unlocking tools no one wants to share.
Please is there is someone who wants to share his program to generate the unlocking codes, post it here.
Thanks
Why not just buy a code on ebay? It's not too expensive.

no thanks
Nop thaks, I ain't gonna pay 20 euros for a **** code, or wait a month until ebay code arrives in my country. I will somehow find a way to read the code from the phone and when I do I will freely give the program to anyone, I am not that despicable and money sick to ask cash for such a software. It cost's about 50$ to buy a mxkey or Axebox if I would want to make money from phone unlocking...but again I will find a solution and post it as open source for anyone...
if you do, please post it here..
Hello XDA,
I am an occasional viewer but first time poster. I have searched the forum but couldn't really find anything to help. I was in Germany in December and used htcsimunlock.com to provide me with a code to unlock my HTC desire (locked to Virgin).
I paid the intial fee then then told me I need to pay another fee for a "deep search" and I recieved my code. From what I can tell from reading previous posts it seems this is a legitimate way to do it (not that I agree with the way they informed me about the charges).
However the code they gave me didn't work. I have since emailed them 3 times to get a refund as they advertise how you can get a full refund but They have completely ignored me.
It seems some people have used this company sucessfully but from my perpective it seems like a terrible company a best and a complete scam at worst.
I am just hoping somebody can advise me how to go about getting a refund?
Thanks again.

Hey guys,
I work as a tech in a sprint store. Because of how much I love XDA and all of you I have decided to give back a little. If anybody needs a fast easy way to get their MSL code to tweak their EVO or any sprint phone for that matter I can easily get it if you need me two. The only thing I ask is that every time I access an account it is possible that it will generate a survey call\survey text. All I ask is that you pick that call up (form an 866#) and answer the first part of the survey (4 questions) in this fashion.
1. Did you visit a store? Yes
2. Why did you visit the sprint store? service and repair (option 3)
3. Are you very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neither dissatisfied or satisfied, satisfied, or very satisfied with the service you got during your visit? PLEASE PICK VERY SATISFIED!!!
4. Did the sprint rep perform any READY NOW services? PICK YES
If you PM me with the last name on the account and phone number or account number and phone number I can get to you quickly as long as I am working (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat 9-6 est)
EDIT: Sorry all I have not been around for a little bit. But I have unfortunately left the Sprint Retailer in which I worked. I was given the option be laid off or take a massive pay cut (1/4 of my pay a month). I took the first option. I am truly sorry if I cause any false hope or was unable to help because of this.
Thanks for the understanding,
Your friend

I know but some might need or want their code without rooting. Or some might now have an evo 3d that has no root yet. Just trying to help all that have helped me in the past. If any body ever needs anything PM me and I can try to help.

well then it would go in the EVO 3D forum of XDA.....
Bounty, that is shameless but I love it!! Don't you have access to eticket? Just use that and all you need is the ESN. They don't flag us for using that (AS), and it works good, without having to access an account at all. But the survey thing, pure fkn genius. You should try and put this in the general sections of all the newer phones, everyone else wants to charge and you are the man.
oh ya I have eticket but I still need 2 pieces of info to pull it up in eticket. esn, hex, ptn, account number, or open eticket number which still enters the account and will generate a survey.
But ya I still get good survey calls
lol
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, if I'm wrong please move my thread to the correct location. I wanted more traffic than what the Market Place could give, and since this is a donation and not for sale I figured General would work best.
I've got 3 CDMA HTC Hero's that were from an MVNO *Mitel - Sprint Backbone*. We've recently switched over 65 devices to the newer yet still crappy-ish HTC Detail (Read - HTC Evo 4G without any support and running stock 2.2). Of those 65 original Hero phones I was able to get my supervisors to 'ok' a donation to any developers who may want a new test device.
These phones are old, slow, and no longer being updated by any carrier, but they work, have good ESN's and are great for any developer who wants to test their applications on slower hardware with a smaller screen (for cross compatibility?).
My reason for thinking someone would want this is, if it runs on a old Hero, it'll run on pretty much anything.
So how do you get one should the demand be more than the three I'm posting, well the first 3 will be offered for free, including shipping. Those who read and reply the quickest become the lucky ones. I might be able to sale the others if there is a demand, however we will have to work this out in the "Market Place" should I get the go ahead for that as well.
One Per Person (Location). Sorry but only ship to Lower-48 in the US (No international shipping).
if your offer still stands i would be of help with creating apps that are suitable for the device
my location is Malta
If its still possible to get one, id like one for some testing im from denmark
this is one hell of an offer, if you'd like to sponsor a college student i'm currently studying deving and the emulators are just so fking slow =.=
If you three could send me a PM with a ship to address I'll have them out asap
Thanks XDA for making the community great!
I like this. Have a thanks
many, many thanks!
A huge sorry to International viewers, but shipping outside of the US is a lot more than what I was told by our shipping department. We were given the OK for up to $40US (which was their estimate), however the costs far exceed this (by more than double). I'm upset with the fact that I promised these devices and am unable to deliver them to you.
If you'd like to pay for shipping I've sent a PM with an estimate of cost. However the cost of the device is 1/15th the cost of the shipping and I highly recommend that you do not.
That said I still have two devices for anyone in the lower-48 States of USA.
Zothes I've sent you a PM with Tracking information for your device.
I personally apologize to Archer and Deaimian.
If one is still up for grabs, I'd love to get one.
I'm in Illinois. Can send you a pm with my address whenever you'd like!

Sorry to hear that mate, but no apology required for me.
a) It was a generous offer, regardless
b) I didn't ask for one I just thanked you cos you're helping the community out.

I promised pwnyourace a Photon Q this week and had it not been for a family member dropping her Epic and it not being worth replacing, I gave my sister my second Photon Q. But I'm not one to break promises, and while money isn't exactly the easiest commodity at the house I live in to come by I do have at the moment $60 to put towards getting another phone for you my friend. Perhaps even more to send out to one or more developers that visit this section and I'm wondering would anyone else be willing to contribute a donation to the cause? Hell even a dollar would help, if I see any kind of interest in this, which does seem promising so far especially since I'm just an average user and I'm willing to drop a decent amount of money on this if others would help chip in.
How should i do this? I know this might be the wrong section so if it is Mods can you please put this where it does belong? Or if there is a dev right now that wants to upgrade but is short on cash, maybe I can help there too. Most importantly, however, I wantr to admit that I broke my promise to pwnyourace. I am not ashamed of the choice I have made (and I would do it again, family always comes first), and I STILL want to help out in any way I can. So I guess i"m asking if either pwnyourace wants to upgrade through sprint and I/we can help finance it OR maybe we can strike a deal with some devs and we can fund devices for those who need them in exchange for a promise to put in X amount of hours into development for said device.
If no one else wants to participate or is unable, I will add another $10-20 a week to my Photons4Devs fund and when there's enough in there you will receive a phone to work with, so worst case sceanario it might be mid-late march when it arrives.
I have $75 so far for a photon Q fund. anyone want to sell one ? I will pay and you ship it to pwnyourace.
Let's help out guys everyone wants software but no one wants to help people get us there.
I'll throw in $10. New development is always good though I'm more than happy with pwnyourace's modded ROM
I´ll also support this with 20$.
count me on.. will give $10 for this project.. any PayPal account?
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
Your "Donate to me" button isn't working. PM me a valid paypal account and I'll drop $30 in the hat.
I'll happily throw in $10 if you pm me or post a valid paypal account, too
I pm'ed pwnyourace to see if he has a PayPal we can send the donations too or if we should just find one for sale and PayPal the seller. Anyone have any other ideas? Seems like there's at least $100 so far so that should be enough. I'll check online tonight and see if any are available for that price.
If you can find a battery I got one with a bad ESN that I'm doing the gsm mod to before trying it on mine... But it won't have a battery since the battery on mine broke if you can find a battery for it its all yours

Thats great! But finding battery is not a piece of cake... The only one I found is there http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte-xt897-battery-eb41.html and its 33$ + 15$ shipping... maybe it would be wiser to buy photon q from ebay with broken screen, ive seen some before for around 50$....
solution maybe?
if everyone keeps their Word there are $155 dollars here in play, there is an auction for a ¨Good condition¨ Photon Q for $140 + $12.35 shipping
I´m willing to throw $10 through paypal if we can buy this phone. Auction is still open for 6 more days and its a buy it now... here is the link

They no longer have them on Swappa
I decided getting an extra battery for the extra phone was the cheapest route for us so I ordered it. I should have it in two weeks as soon as I get it I will send the phone off to him.I cant wait for more to be done with this phone.
Hey guys I will create a paypal account tonight and update the information and post a link here, I am at $90 right now towards the photon Q fund so I'll get one locally or if i get $200 i will use mjy sprint 2 year upgrade and get a brand new one sounds good?
Sorry I've been away for a little bit and i'm back home now ready to help our little community out.
dear bros..
any news for this issue? just let me know the paypal account or link so I could donate the fund..
@zvonkorp
sounds good if we could have a new one..
Mines up for grabs if anyone has an old evo or something they could give me. Certainly cheaper than buying a new phone.
EDIT: and both were sold via swappa. Buyers will be the people with the official OUDHS recovery on their photon q
My upgrade is due in may and I will give my phone to any dev.
