[Q] Unlocked infuse for tmobile such on 2g/edge.

I recently unlocked a samsung infuse for myself.if you ask why,i had a rooted htc hd2 with android on it for two years, changed something on my plan and I'm not able to upgrade for another year I got tired of my phone and tmobile had nothing interesting to get. Anyway lol I unlocked the infuse for tmobile and the phone is stuck on edge and it won't switch to 3g/4g.i asked tmobile how to switched they said any unlocked non tmobile phones stay on edge.I'm coming here to guys to se if there is a way around this. I tried the*#*#4636#*#*, it wouldn't accept the changes. Please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. Also one more thing for some reason I'm not able to send text messages but I was able to send them a day ago but not anymore. I am still able to receive them, any info on that would help also. Thanx everyone.

First of all you cant use the hspa+ with a tmobile sim cuz they dont use the same bands and for the text messages go to messages and press the menu buttom and the message center and fill it with the t mobile message center numer

It sounds like you got your text issues solved, but as far as being limited to EDGE - Sorry, there is NO way around this. It's a fundamental limitation of the radio hardware in the phone. NO AT&T phones support T-Mobile's 1700 MHz AWS 3G band. A tiny handful of T-Mobile phones support the AT&T 3G bands but not the other way around.

Well thank you for your input guys. The text problem issue is solved, but there is a catch. I noticed when I shut my phone off when I go to sleep or to reboot, I have to keep entering the message center number. If not I keep having that problem with text messaging. Anyway to solve that issue?

Hey guys, im hoping someone can help me out. I also used to be a TMO HTC HD2 user but my screen broke and I couldn't fix it so I got an Infuse hoping to unlock it but after I did so I still had problems. The phone wouldn't let me choose the network operator so I flashed a few roms and am now on the Infused 2.2 rom but I still cannot make any calls. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Carrier unlock HTC inspire 4g

I am planning on buying an inspire from USA. It is locked to at&t network. Is it possible to carrier unlock the phone?

Just root it with the hack kit, it's in the Dev section.
Just a reminder, the Inspire will be limited to 2G speed in most countries.

In my experience, if you have been a long-term subscriber to AT&T wireless services, if you call them they will give you the unlock code over the phone. It's what we did (two phones) when we traveled overseas for a few months a couple of years ago. OTOH, "renting" a local SIM card may be a more practical solution.

I have rooted mine and am running on the Telstra NextG network no problems.

simply rooting it with ace hack tool kit will carrier unlock this phone PERMANENTLY

I went to my att.com, clicked on the tech support chat link, asked for the code, he gave it to me & the directions 4 verifying unlock. Free, no hassles. Im only a customer for 6 months

Bad English aside - you'd rather pay a fee to unlock your device then read and educate yourself for a day or two, then run an application that will unlock, root, and s-off your device in one easy step?

I've just bought an Inspire 4G, and it's goingo to arrive tomorrow =)
Thank you guys! I almost paid to unlock it...
But, I want some opinions...
I've got a mytouch 3G Slide, and now the Inspire...I guess that both of my carriers 3G frequency is 2100MHz, but I use one with a data plan (on my Slide) and the other just for calls on a another phone...
So...I keep using my data plan on Slide, instead my Inspire, or I won't get any problems using my data plan on Inspire?
Thank you all again

Question answered thread closed

anyone have a dead Sensation IMEI they could give up

Trying to activate a a simiar on Tmobile for prepaid for my kid. Have activation kit but it asks for my IMEI number. If anyone has a completly dead bricked Sensation sitting around, If you could PM me the IMEI number I would thank you.

Why not use the imefrom theSentation you're trying to activate? It's located under the battery on the sticker.

First thing I did, Tried mine and my wifes. Says call customer service. Thinking its due to our IMEI in use now on our contract account. I searched online and this is a known issue. Need a dead or not used (and not stolen) IMEI to activate with same features.
Figured someone in the Sensation forum must have one in parts that they would not care about sharing the number. I dont think it matters what country it is from. Just need it to activate his.

i suspect that there are details that are being left out. It makes zero sense that you can't use the imei from HIS sensation, the one trying to activate. No one in there right mind is going to give you their imei number. there is too much info a smart person can gain from it, if it's from a device that was activated.

doesn't make any sense, man. have you called t-mobile? what are they saying?

You could also put an imei from any old tmobile or ATT phone and it'll go through..
On prepaid there isn't any "features" that will be different if you use a sensation imei as opposed to any other random one.
Besides, the system updates later on with the imei of the handset in use.
Unless you're trying to game the insurance policy and reported one lost. Then you'd have a "lost" sensation whose imei you don't want on your prepaid line.
If that's your worry then I can tell you you shouldn't worry.... Put a different or no name and address.
Unless it was reported stolen..
All speculation of course..

[Q] Changing Numbers when Flashing to different carrier

In this thread, i do not ask for any help with any flashing to other carriers. I only have a question about it
Donor: Samsung Prevail
Phone to be flashed: nS4G
So i got a used NS4G from a friend. It has his number on it
My question is...if I flash it, will I have to take the phone to sprint to get the numbers changed? or will the number change to my donor number when I flash it? oR WILL a new number appear?

by the way my donor is activated and was used before

:banghead:
Be careful. What you're talking about doing is a felony and you seem to have no idea what you're getting into.
Good luck

Not to be rude but if your title is more specific, e.g. with NS4G in it, maybe there wouldn't be that many viewers. I thought it would be something I could help with, but I'm not familiar with CDMA networks. I used to be on Sprint once upon a time, and I remember I had to take the phone to the Sprint store to have them activate my number on it. Goodluck!

This may work but u 1st need to get the MSL code for the ns4g. Try the app called "get my msl" . U need this code to call sprint. Just say ur buddy had sprint and he gave u the phone.
When u call they will have u enter the phone prompt commands so be on a stock ROM so they work and it will match what they see in their monitor.
This is compared to actually having an old phone that u wanted to switching to ur number.
Now they may catch on or say that the phone was never a sprint phone since the ESN # behind battery isn't in their system. So hopefully they don't bring that up.. then ur good just as long as u did the flashing correct.
Good luck

Felony? How about the carriers give users the ability to move a phone from one cdma network to another just like GSM phones are capable of. Is unlocking a simlocked GSM a felony also?
What should be a felony is having a user buy into an expensive 2 year contract by spending $299 on a phone made in China for $180 cost and not letting you use it anywhere but their network even after the contract.

Its sad you have to go through such measures just to get a decent phone without paying an arm and a leg for it. But to answer your question if I understand correctly, one you flash it and use the donor phone on ns4g it will look like the donor phone to sprint or other cdma carrier on the network. So the old number should no longer matter and the ns4g should register the Samsung Prevail number.

OK thanks for the help

I got my NS4G flashed to boost, it is actually more than a simple flash, the ESN is changed to that of the donor phone. So sprint will always see it as the prevail. Just remember the prevail can never be used again without changing that ESN also.

Oh so I dont need to do so much to get it switched? only the esn? SO I can use shrinkage and use 3g on the boost mobile network
also, i cant seem to get the com port of my ns4g. can you help. I can find it in device manager with the drivers installed

You need to have your NS4G connected as USB modem.

my 10c on the matter - the number is tied to the SIM card you are using. No matter what you flash, you can't change that. My advice - do not play with this type of things, you'll get your phone locked up and from there on it's all downhill

He's talking about cdma phone. Flashing to other carriers is done ONLY on cdma networks for one reason and one reason only... they don't have sims.
LTE might change that but not yet.

I'm fine I did it already. Thanks anyway

This, it is the only way. I have heard that T-Mobile will give the codes out if you say that you are going out of the country for a vacation or something of that nature.
Also, the T-Mobile version works with ATT's HSPA+ data, but not the other way around. Just so you know.

Sim unlock would be the way crazy vato as mentioned above.. however, without the correct xml files you'll never get 4gee or mms capability... You can set the apn and get interwebs but mms will be a diff story... I just spent a ****wad of time moettling with a att windows mango phone and got lucky enough to somehow make the xml files writeable to change them from att to tmo... Good luck holmsdog.. let us know the result..
Also, make sure the s3 even supports the upper end frequencies needed for the mms support dudeholms
