i'm unlocked and rooted on my htc inspire 4g. and i'm running virtuous unity ROM.. is it possible to use Straight Talk on my already rooted phone?
Please post all question in the Q&A forums. We have gone through this already. A little research would have told you what you wanted to know. This being that once a phone is unlocked as long as you have the proper settings/apns and the phone supports the network bands that you want to use then yes you can use it on just about any GSM network.
Closed this one to.

I've been looking every where for the answer to my post, does the methods below work for metro pcs or is it just for t-mobile, virgin mobile, etc.?

I'm coming from the droid x world of rooting and flashing so this is new to me and not taking chances of bricking
Sorry if this question has been asked or answered, but I couldn't find it and I'm tired of looking, so a simple yes or no to this question would be great, thanks

however for root i followed this guide since 1 click would not work for me.

i know its intended for the virgin mobile version but it worked for the metro variant as well. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK THOUGH.

Metro as in MetroPCS? If so, MetroPCS only works with CDMA phones. The Glacier/MyTouch 4G is a GSM phone.
so basically there is nothing to be done lol....well anyways, i have the MAXX for VZW and originally it was CDMA but as of last month the ICS ota came through and now its GSM capable...so can i swap my sim to the mytouch just for ****s....if so, how do i unlock it and root ?

Mod Edit: Do not flame..
If you are on Gingerbread, you'll need to downgrade to FroYo to root. Go here.
Once on Froyo, use this to attain S-Off.
Then flash a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or 4EXT (my favorite) and flash away.
If you ask what the best ROM is I'll find you and stab you to death It will be out of kindness, I assure you.
The above statement is probably against the rules and may get me an infraction. :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!

Ok, I posted a question here yesterday which a mod locked and I'm not sure why since my questions asked two questions and the thread was locked only with the response we don't really do best roms here.
I was more concerned about the unlocked portion of the question. I bought an Inspire 4G unlocked. I am able to insert a SIM from another provider into it and it works; however, I want to root it and install a custom rom on it. In rooting it am I going to lose it being unlocked and have to unlock it again?
Also having problems finding a simple link to all the ROMs like I did when I flashed my thunderbolt.

No, simunlock has nothing to do with root. Once your device was unlocked by IMEI you do not lose that.

Hello, I have a quick question... I have an HTC M8 verizon and I am s-off with supercid. my carrier is metropcs on gsm. my question is, when installing a rom, do I install for verizon since my phone is originally from verizon, or do I install as t-mobile since my network is t-mobile.
thank you
oops, I just realized I put this thread in the wrong section.. I guess it should go in Q & A troubleshooting. maybe someone can move it? thanx
Hello all,
Since there wasn't any thread for the general questions here, I opened this one!
I have a note 8 from AT&T with the Android 7.1.1 on it (baseband N950USQS3BRA8) which is sim unlocked so I can use it on T-Mobile.
Using the software update on the phone doesn't give me the recent update, I've already read all threads and I think the only resolution is to do it with odin. On the other hand, I like to have a rooted phone (didn't know samFail came out and always was sorry to be forced to use the stock ROM)
Now my question is which is better for me? what's the gain updating to Oreo? Isn't better to root instead? if so, what instruction to follow to root 7.1.1 on my phone?
Auxilary questions:
I don't have video call anymore (after switching from AT&T to T-Mobile), would it be enabled after root?
I don't know how to change 611 mask number from whatever number AT&T is using to the one from T-Mobile (just curious to know if there is a possible way, maybe using T-Mobile ROM instead of one from AT&T) So is it possible to use another carrier's ROM on my phone?
Please, anyone?!
no answer?!
