AAHK and Inspire 4G AT&T

Hi friends.
If writing is not the topic I'm sorry.
Question to you is:
Does AAHK to unlock sim card?
It is possible to give to the service center for a firmware update, but they do not know how to unlock it, or rather do not have equipment. Will I be able to unlock your Inspire 4G on Ukrainian MTS with this program?
Thank you in advance

Yes. The hack kit do sim unlocks your device, but take into consideration that not all sims work with unlocked devices. Anyway, it Is worth trying.

And if I live in Ukraine then my statement will be supported or not?
Or may have any other options?
Sorry, but I'm new to this business.

Again, you device will be sim unlocked, but then depends on your carrier and not the device itself. You can also buy an unlock code if you don't want to run the Hack Kit.

To be honest I've read a lot of forums, has seen a lot of videos on YouTube, and still did not understand how to flash the phone.
Can give step by step instructions?
Now I have installed Root, is S-off. For all I know.
Firmware 2.3.3 Sense 2.1
Maybe there is a person who helps in Skype?
and one more thing - I'd like to firmware 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 (or similar)
unmodified, similar to what is official and that all functions of the phone worked.
Can you give a link to download?

Video tutorial are useless...use the guide in my signature. Downgrade is not root nor S-OFF, so make sure that you are S-OFF for certain before trying something.

Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

[Q] Why are Sim Locked for some carriers but unlocked for others

Hello,
I have an HTC Sensation 4g that was originally from Tmobile. I rooted it and also unlocked the phone to use on other networks. I verified this by using other prepaid carriers in the U.S and also in Mexico. But now i have an issue I tried a company called Moviestar in Mexico. I keep getting a message saying SIM LOCKED. Why is this?
Also does anyone know how asking for unlock code work from tmobile. I also have service with them with a different sensation can I call them and give them the IMIE for the sensation I want unlocked? Not sure if you have to be using the sensation while asking for the code.
I also found this to change APN but dont the sim cards change this automatically?

Simply ask T-Mobile for the unlock code. They will give it to you. I haven't asked for this device yet but asked for my other device and they gave me the code without any problems. Just tell them you will be traveling and want the code. It shouldn't be a problem. They did it for me before without any issues. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes

Maybe T-Mobile, but I am on Vodafone and they won't give it to me for some reason. HTC have put a guide how to SOFF your phone, but that didn't worked for me. I only have the "wire trick" left to try, but some users report broken phones after so... I hear people write mails to HTC and they give them the unlock codes Anyone had a successful feedback on the issue?

HTC dev unlock method works fine.. just follow procedure from HTC page
If your bootloader is 1.2xx , jb method of soff is only option...
What u mean broken phone after wire trick???.,.,
If u stuck on jb screen after many attempt of wire trick , then u simply remove temp root and phone will back to Android

To verify, if I have S-OFF'd my Sensation, then I should be able to use a SIM on another carrier without having to call my carrier (T-Mobile) to get an unlock code. Right?
Thank you.

No, you're missing 1 step.
S-Off and Sim Unlock are two different things.
But if you have S-Off and Root access you can figure out your own Sim Unlock code quickly and easily.
See here for instructions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Then once you have that unlock code, when you put in a sim from another carrier it will prompt you for the code and you simply type it in.

Skipjacks is right I was trying to find that thread wasnt fast enough lol. Cedyathome follow that guide and it should work for most carriers.

Network Unlocking problem

I bought a Sensation of a forums site and the guy gave me the unlock code to unlock it but when I add it, it says code successful but the phone doesn't unlock I then tried the unlock methods on this website and it still won't work. Whenever the box appears to put in the code I can put in any random numbers and it will still say unlock code was successful. The rom is cynagogen mod 10 jb 4.1.2 but not sure if this can cause any problem?

If you did the method on here you shouldn't have to enter an unlock code. Make sure you did the method right. I've done the method on here to 2 sensations and it worked perfectly

Thanks sadly didnt work as it says update fail security fail.
Thought i was good at this rooting lark but Htc phones are much more complex.
my phone is S-OFF btw mate.

Starting to think h-boot 127.0.0 is the reason why i'm having a problem if this is the case i'll have to return the phone and make sure i stay well away from HTC.

Custom Rom with LTE?

I'm wondering if LTE is built into the Rom of the phone or is it a hardware issue? My carrier just added it in my area and if there's a custom Rom for my phone out there i'd most likely try it. thanks

Its hardware. The radio chip needs to support it.

Figured you might be.lol what about unlocking for using different carrirers? does that have to do with the sim lock in bootloader?

Here's my understanding of it
Simlock is where your phone will only accept one network...this is obviously an option in hboot
AAHK had SuperCID which sim unlock but since AAHK is retired. AFAIK, there isn't an easy option to unlock the sim for desire or inspire 4g..If you want to sim unlock to use a different service provider. You might have to Google for sim unlock codes

Yeah, that's something different. You need to look at the instructions for manual S-Off, posted by AAHK's author attn1, for SIM unlock.

That's no easy task, good luck OP...

[Q] HTC One X on Tmobile Question

Ok so a friend of mine just got an unlocked HTC One X and wants to use it on T Mobile, what would he have to do to be able to use it on there network? I can't imagine its as easy as popping the Sim in, does he need to flash a new radio?
Thanks for all of your help and insight...

if its carrier unlocked from the manufacturer, pop the sim in, the end.
if its bootloader unlocked, you need to get it carrier unlocked as they are not the same.

Ok, I have the carrier unlock code, ATT gave it to me with no problems. Now besides that do I need to flash a different radio at all? Also because its rooted would that cause any other issues?
