Tmobile unlocking sims, Do i need to switch back to factory? - HTC Sensation

A line is being canceled from my tmobile account. They said we need to be on the phone with them, Do i need to switch back to factory settings or does it really matter? When they switch my sims to unlock... Does it require my phone to be on factory settings or can i just keep my phone s-off and coredroid on my phone?

Not sure your question is clear Sims are specific to supplier but will work on any unlocked phone......

I have tmobile and they're willing to unlock my phone so that i can use other carriers sims with my sensation.. However i have it unlocked and coredroid rom on it.. Do i need to go back to factory rom or can i leave it as it is for them to unlock my phone for other sims...?

Have you tried another sim my guess is you are aleady unlocked...

yes.. tried a att... doesnt work... Tmobile said they're going to unlock it for me.. My question is do i need to be on factory rom or is it okay to leave it on coredroid rom.. Can they access my phone and unlock it even though im unlocked and on a custom rom?

Well tell them to try nothing to loose - I still believe its a matter of u need the apn - access point name - settings for new sim / provider. When you 1st boot a Rom it as you to select from list...

All you need is the unlock code. It doesn't matter what Rom you're running.

[Q] My Inspire stuck on startup

Today I bought this AT&T HTC Inspire 4G phone, it was working fine & it was unlocked with gingerbird OS installed. Now its on the loop of android screen at the startup when i restarted my phone after doing the factory reset.
I tried few things which I found here like recovery boot but nothing worked.
need desperate help...
Never do a factory reset on a rooted device. If you have a card reader follow this guide to return to stock.

Thanks alot for your response, now the fone is working fine but there is only one problem. When i make calls the phone internal speaker doesnot works & I have to turn external speakers in order to talk n listen. Phone speaker is completely dead!! any idea what to do??
Are you using a tmobile sim card?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
No I have O2 sim card... sim is working fine as i am getting a recognised sim and can make or recieve calls but only problem is with the internal speakers...
If this can help u in tracing the problem!!
I am now getting :
Android vr. 2.3.3
HTC sense vr. 2.1
Baseband vr. 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Kernal vr. 2.6.35.10-gd2564fb.....
build nr. 2.47.502.7 CL93396 release-keys
Software nr. 2.47.502.7
People have had this issue with using sim cards other than att, specifically tmobile. That's why I asked. I would suggest now that you are s on to download the ruu for gingerbread from HTC for the inspire and run it to completely return the phone to factory condition. Its called the gingerbread rom update but it will wipe everything on the phone and restore every partition with what was on the phone out of the box. This will ensure that everything needed for the inspire to work properly is installed.

Ok but will I be then able to use any sim on my phone? or will it be sim locked?
& from this link:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/inspire-att/downloads/
1)HTC SYNC 3.0.5579 FOR HTC INSPIRE™ 4G (AT&T) | 09.27.2011
2)HTC Inspire™ 4G for AT&T Gingerbread ROM Update | 08.08.2011
which file should I need to download? or download & install both files??
You shouldn't be sim unlocked now if you ran genes s on tool. That is probably your issue actually. If you want the sim unlock then I would suggest using advanced ace hack kit to root phone. Then you can install different custom roms. Just don't do anything to the phone like factory reset or wipe data outside of the custom recovery that you will have after rooting.

Ok. From there you could try rooting phone and using a custom rom to see if problem persists.

[Q] Sim Unlock Code

Hello,
how can I sim unlock htc sensation. It is locked to Telenor Montenegro.
Is it possible to unlock it free without losing warrany? If not where can I buy unlock code with credit card ?
you can root and s-off to get free unlock, and once you have it you can flash RUU to put everything back and then use unlock code
That procedure is hard for me
If I can buy that code I will do that. I just need site for that. I tried on globalunlock.com but their codes only work for phones in USA,CA and UK.
My phone is s off but no sim unlock code here... I thought only t mobile can do that for me, being their my provider.

For that I need to root my phone. If I root my phone I will lose warranty.
GUIDE 1 is very easy but my warranty is problem. I will do this guide if there is guide to unroot phone ?
Call your phone operator ask them to give you unlock code for your phone tell them you travel for business. Or search online paid unlock code.

Yea your provider should give u the unlock code and have it emailed to you within 72 hrs. Normally you will recieve an email the next day. I remember seeing a write up using terminal emulator to get your unlock code. Thats how i got mine. Not sure where the write up is though.

I called my provider but they said that they can't do that and that I must go in mobile phone servis and unlock it.
I called local servis, 20 EUR is unlocking for sensation and they do that with box tool.
Search htc sensation sim unlock using terminal emulator. Im sure u will find it. Its a very each procedure
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
I find that guide but for that I need to root my phone. I will do that but when I unlock I need to unroot my phone. So I need guide for that - to unroot when I finish unlocking.
Why do u need to unroot it?
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
Because I have warranty and maybe one day I will need to send my phone to repair
Refresh.1.2.3.
Yea warranty. They dont care if the phone is rooted. If theres no physical damage then you are fine
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
Well they care. My previous phone HTC Desire S has been bricked. Phone was s-off and rooted. I sent my phone to warranty repair but they refused to repair phone because of s-off and root. Problem was in fired emmc chip so they need to replace mainboard which cost 200 EUR.
Oh tmobile doesnt care

HTC Sensation, unlocking to go on giffgaff

Hello there, I have a HTC Sensation Z710e which is from Vodafone and has all their branding and sim card locking stuff, lovely. I want to be able to take this phone and make it look like an ordinary unlocked phone so I can use whatever sim card I would like and also without the Vodafone branding on the device, I am a little scared about rooting my device and flashing new radios and ROMs A few months ago I received the update for ICS if that is of any use to anyone. If anyone has any good ideas on how I can completely make my phone completely stock it would be so appreciated.
Thank you
Jake

Hi,
The link in my signature will show you several guides to either s-off,or flash custom ROMS,whilst still s-on.
There is also a link for flashing a RUU to get stock.
Read,read read.
There's methods to unlocked your phone for free on the dev section. But your better of paying £15 to get it unlocked online. As for debranding your sensation just search xda for debranding sensation, or just root it and install a custom Rom.

Why go and pay £15 pounds when he can do it for free? After s-off he only needs to run the diagfile from the bootloader. Should give supercid as well for free and minimum hassle

Can't check for software update after relocked bootloader

I unlocked , installed custom on my phone, then I relocked my bootloader and flash stock att2.20 by running ruu.exe. now, everytime I checked for software update, it always says service unavailable. Do you guys know anything about this problem? Btw, my phone is unlocked and use T-Mobile.

You realize you can't update a stock AT&T device via T-Mobile, even if you're using a T-Mobile sim card?

It always puzzles me why do people on custom ROMs want to get OTAs?
AT&T JB isn't rolling out yet. When it does, it will get posted in Development in a TWRP-flashable rooted form.
I also doubt the OTA will feature much (if anything) that is not already present in the JB Sense ROMs already up in Development, plus all of AT&T's bloatware crap and other meddling. Possibly including a new hboot that will mess up even more stuff this time.

If you know someone on TMO network, he may be able to request a unlock code for your phone.

If you are s-off then you need to flash gingerbread firmware in order for the diag file to work and give sim unlock

i see...funny it never mentioned that in that post/forum
I believe that thread was made before ice cream sandwich came and the new partitions it brought. I assume most of the people who ever used the thread had a sensation from gingerbread, or bought one that came with gingerbread and sim unlocked before the jump to ics. so it doesnt really come up :/
once you are s-off you can flash back to gingerbread easily enough though. make back up of your rom, then visit the firmware thread and download the revolutionary firmware. also download your current firmware. place revolutionary firmware onto the sdcard and let it flash from the bootloder. then follow the sim unlock guide. after that works then flash back to ics using the firmware your phone had. either .32 or .33
if your rom doesnt boot after its all done then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Thanks for the help but I ended up just downgrading in a way to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G ...cause T-Mobile ended up blacklisting my sensation :/
