I just bought a HTC Elfin from the carrier Claro here in Puerto Rico as a birthday present for my nephiew since its his favorite phone and wanted him to use it in his AT&T service, and was planning to give it to him today but seems like this model is harder to unlock than the elf. i have tried to use the unlock methods posted on this site but they all give me the same code and it doesnt work (looks like my specific model is different thust the code isnt the same) I thought that it was just as easy as unlocking an elf but i was wrong. Can anyone help me or point me to a way to unlock the device for free?? I would pay for an online service but my credit card is maxed out and i cant purchase online with it.
If anyone can lend me a hand on unlocking the phone ill PM the device ID or the IMEI# if needed or at least tell me where i can achieve this please reply
Thank you

Hi and welcome!
Currently there is no "free" way to SIM unlock the Wing. It's still being worked on.
The only option at the moment is through a company called imei-check. They do charge for their service though.
Good luck!

Nope. It will just unlock your phone so you can sideload apps. Unbranding is a different story.

I'm sorry, the only advice I can give you is to search the HD7 forums. I know there are some threads about it. But since I never had to unbrand any device, I have no idea how to perform it.

OK, Thank you any way
I'm going to point out that to unlock your device to use other SIM cards, you can usually call your carrier for an unlock code or pay an online service to get one. These all cost money, but are totally different than the ChevronLabs thing. You might wanna call up O2 and see what they'll do for you.
unlock code is better than softwares........
so the HTC J ISW13HT was released in Japan 10 days ago, and I'm eager to get my hands on it. Only I am not in Japan.
Are there any people in Japan here on the forums that can answer some questions for me?
Is the phone locked to au? And does the phone in fact support GSM sim card at all? I know it has a card slot but since au is CDMA I wonder if the phone accepts sim cards (it has GSM functionality).
cheers

Hmm, I suppose when I get my hands on one, I'll be able to answer this question. I'll try to stop by an au shop to poke around one of their display models.
I'm assuming the phone is locked to au, though.
nice, thanks. Does au sell phones without contract at all?

I think you can purchase the phone outright but to get it unlocked you'll have to pay for the unlocking fee which is about ¥3000. Even then, I dunno if it has a removable sim card

Any more info?
It's been about a month now since this was posted, any new info?
I live in Japan and have the phone, but can't find much info for Root yet (in English at least) or Sim Unlock if it's possible or not.

Have you downloaded the ruu for it?
If you get that you can probably add su and busy box to it and maybe look at the one s threads for a root method

It does support GSM/CDMA/WCDMA/WiMAX
But the GSM/WCDMA function seemed to be locked by AU.
You could not use GSM/Wcdma network when you insert a GSM/Wcdma Usim.
I have this phone, unlocked the bootloader, root, but can't make sim free.
I can't post links, only after 10 posts.
I have translated scripts for one click root.
Does anyone know sim unlock is possible for this phone?
Now the J is also in the market of HK and Taiwan. Hope someone can cook ROM for us.

Taiwan versions of J does not have simlocked.

Anyone can translate this into English? Seems a fair amount of info in Japanese, but nearly nothing in English... Google translate works very poorly from Japanese, don't really trust it for this.
Also, once you've flashed the radio from the Taiwan version, does it still work on AU? I don't want to change carrier to Docomo/Softbank, but I want to use local sim cards when I travel.
So whats the steps to unlock this little guy?
Hello,
From what I have read if I understand correctly if I root the verizon droid 2 global, then install a custom rom the phone will be unlocked and I can use any provider outside the usa.
Can you confirm if this is in fact correct?
Also I live in Florida but have a german cell phone with a german chip that I use here in Florida. If the above does unlock the phone, when I put my german chip in the phone will it work in the usa or do I need to also do the band unlock first?
Thanks
JB
No. Custom ROMs don't support the SIM unlocking mechanism of the D2G, nor they disengage the SIM lock.
You have to unlock the device with an unlock code to use it with SIM cards that aren't Verizon-issued.
Thank you for the information.
I guess there is no way someone can shoot me a bone and provide the unlock for free since ive been a member for 3 years? It would be appreciated greatly...

The unlock code is specific to each handset, so no-one has one that they can give you.
Message me
Hopefully we can figure out FREE sim unlock.
I did for M9 and Desire 626 so far. See thread for proof http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/sim-unlock-method-t3143333

Good point. Although, donation based (optional) not free. I don't remember connecting with you!? Also the software I use only connects the USB drivers remotely. The worst I could do was connect to the Webcam and spy on someone. However they can see the devices I'm connected to and 'lock' any they want. I don't blame you for being sceptical. But how about NOT judging a book by it's cover? Contact me if you require unlock. Thanks
i can deffinitly vouch for this guy he has always helped when i needed it on hangout
I can vouch for Stifilz as well. He successfully unlocked my SIMLOCKED Sprint A9. Working great on T-Mobile with band 4 LTE!

I already have unlock code but my A9 not accept it.... samwhere read to unlock procedure need all stock system+boot+recovery. Try to flash RUU- no luck again. Not planning flash s-off, but think only flashing unlocked att ruu after s-off could solve my problems. Maybe IMEI change and new unlock code will help.
