<attention> successful unlock d2g without activation !

I confirm that i have unlocked Droid 2 Global without Verizon activation and unlock code . Now I'm testting with all my country carrier , will post result soon .
Now , please do not update your firmware !

great work! but how did u manage to do this?

Any news? Could you please provide me the instructions how you get it activated and unlocked without Verizon code? I'd be glad if I could help you by testing it on my Droid2 Global. Thanks in advance.

There is a guy can do this in China already, for a while. However he wouldn't reveal the secret. Not by TurboSim, not by hardware fix, etc. The phones need to be sent to him so he can do the "software refresh".

did not work for me, I downgrade to 2.4.330 to 2.4.29 and did a factory / reset to ask me to activate again, but nothing happened, did not work the code simunlock
=(

TurboSIM works fine without Verizon activation and unlock code. Checked. Bought at Ebay, just input 200539432676 in Search string on Ebay.

namsss and Skinny1979
Are we talking about a droid 2 global that could not be unlocked by code previously?

Yes, I have droid 2 global in Ukraine, and with Turbosim its works fine. I bought the code twice in the Ebay auction and it did not fit.

but your droid 2 was activated?
I think that should work with non activated phone verizon

My D2G wasn`t activated. I bypass activation screen
droidforums.net/img/droid-x-bypass.png
and insert turbosim
But there is little problem - you can only make and receive calls, no internet

Thanks for the info. Does everything on the phone works ok just as if it had been unlocked by code? (including data/internet)

data/internet - not working (
only calls

damn, that's not ideal but i guess it's something.
What about the OP's namsss solution?

Have you set proper APN for data connectivity? By default D2G has very limited list of preconfigured settings and certainly it has no settings for Ukraine. Are you able to create Access Points in settings/wireless/mobile networks/access point names?

I able to create Access Points in settings/wireless/mobile networks/access point names, and I set proper APN. But nothing
I flash CDMA part of D2G from Verizon to Intertelecom (ukrainian CDMA carrier), its easy, and now I have EVDO internet. But GSM - only calls.

I don't know if this is just an isolated case but I would like to share with all D2G owners. I just got 2 D2G from eBay and they arrived this morning. I have done some research about this phone before about its usability after having to purchase unlock codes or what not to have it working.
However, upon inserting my simcard to the phone, it asked me to touch the Android icon and then it reads "A special call needs to be made to activate your phone service." ... I bypassed it by pressing "menu" and selected the network mode to be GSM only and it detected my Rogers sim card already with full signal. After that, I set up the wifi and it let me to pass through everything, all the way to the Android homescreen.
Now I have two fully functioning D2G... It just makes me wonder about what is going on with the difficulty to unlock the phone... it was as easy as a plug-and-play for me.
One important thing is, however, I am using a microsim, would that be the key to unlock the phone? lol i know this sounds dumb but I really didn't run into any problem using this phone, fresh from eBay brand new non-activated and locked to VZW.

Huh! Looks like this phone was already unlocked. My phone definitely asked me for subsidy unlock code when I inserted my Rogers SIM. Mine unlocked with a code I purchased off Internet. So you can call/use data services with Rogers and you've been never asked for unlock code?!

Exactly... I am able to use data as I see the 3G icon on the status bar, as well as being able to use the My Rogers Account app, which would allow you to retrieve the info. only if you are on Rogers 3G network. But then the thing is when I first turned on the phone, it asked me for activation. I clicked "activate" but it said I failed and had to call VZW hotline. At that point I switched the network mode to GSM/UMTS only and that activation screen never showed up again.

Running the phone after Factory Data Reset Without Verizon SIM, How ?

Hello guys,
After loosing my HTC ONE X on the street a week ago, I bought from some guy an almost brand new GALAXY S3 without knowing it is a VERIZON version.
I live in Israel so i had no idea what is the meaning of buying a device that will work only on Verizon network, we only have GSM here.
The guy i bought it from also had no idea what it means as his father bought it on the US and brought it here wishing to sell it as he had no use in it.
Without realizing the mistake I've made, I then made another one, Taking out the VERIZON SIM CARD and giving it back to the owner!
I thought to myself... well... that's his SIM CARD, not gonna be using that one...
Well, i got home to find out i'm in trouble with this deal I've made, i searched for a way to unlock it for GSM networks and i saw that here in XDA someone made it possible.
As i started working on it i had to download from Google play an application, when i was asked to pay for it i saw it's running on the old owners google account, so i decided i don't wanna pay with my credit while he might get the receipt for it and i figured i should do a Factory Data Reset for the phone and start from point zero the whole process.
Sadly i had no idea i'm doing another big mistake because when the phone finished the reset it asked for a VERIZON SIM CARD in order to run, well you know where that SIM Card is - back at the previous owner and i'm not even sure i will be able to track him down again.
I wish to get this device working without any traces of Verizon, maybe beside the name on the back panel of the device.
Now that the device won't even run without the SIM, what should i do ?
Thanks in advance,
Ohad.

Thanks but i was able to track down the previous owner and get the verizon sim card.
I found away to use it on GSM but still im very disappointed because im not sure there´s a real way to remove any trace for the verizon stuff installed here and there are few errors like it is connected to the provider but it says no verizon sim card connected.
and im not so sure all the device's frequencies are "open" for my provider.
I was wondering if there's any option to burn an international galaxy version to the device and it will bypass all of these issues.

not unless you want paperwieght for a device.

Why don't you just flash CM10 or similar to get rid of all the VZW stuff.... that's what I did.

Not sure how to do so, but either way i'm not sure i will get the device working completely normally with my local SIM card on a gsm network, without bugs, without asking me to put a verizon sim card all the time, without having any option to update the device...
I dunno, i thought i could easily get this Galaxy version to become unlocked completely and get it running like all the other guys around...
Unless anybody here have a good recommendation about what should i do to overcome the verizon and networks issues, maybe i should just sell this guy on ebay and get a normal version...
Do you think this would be a smart move to do ?
Beemer - after you flash the CM10, do you still need to unlock the device and do you still get issues running on other than Verizon providers or do you enjoy a device that is similar to the worldwide versions ?
Thanks,
Ohad.

If you flash an international ROM on a Verizon S3, your phone will no longer power on or do anything useful. That's why it will become a paperweight. Flashing an international ROM on your Verizon S3 is one of the easiest ways to make it useless.

International=quad-core us=s4 processor, very different guts.I'd listen to the ppl on this forum, unless you want to end up with a paper weight.

alright then... i won´t go for it.
but what about the other issues ? what do you guys recommend to do with the device ?
I'm thinking "get rid of it or get it working smoothly", the question is, is it possible to have it running "just like the unlocked international version" ?

Know it works on Touchwiz roms. It may not be in AOSP based roms.

Well, i flashed CM10 successfully, i was able to receive and send SMS before with the Stock ROM, and also to make/receive phone calls but i had sim card issues and errors and also some unwanted Verizon apps and stuff.
After updating the device to the latest Verizon version, i couldn't make phone calls, just receive and i could send and receive SMS.
Now that device runs much faster on the CM10 and i can make/receive phone calls but i can't send SMS.
*UPDATE: I have updated to the latest CM10 version, now i can't connect to the provider at all... no internet/phone/sms at all.
SOS

Ok, Im going to try a different tactic, i saw some people tried flashing At&t Roms on their verizon devices and they done it with success.
So far i tried doing it twice, one time with CM10 ROM for at&t, the 2nd time with stock at&t ROM.
I've tried doing it through CWM.
Both times i got an error while installing... it just didn't move on.
Luckly i had the CM10 for the verizon Zip file over there aswell so i installed that ROM again just to get the device running.
Any ideas how to flash the AT&T ROM on the Verizon Device ???

[Q] Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3-SCH-I535-Unlocking

I am by far no where near the caliber of technology that lie within this web site, however, I am simply trying to get some direction regarding my S3.
I purchased it from Verizon-2 yrs ago, contract expired 7/8/13; did not renew. I went with Consumer Cellular (more fitting for the older generation) but my S3 WON'T WORK ON THEIR NETWORK!
I have spent the last 3 weeks doing research on this phone to see if it can be 'unlocked' to work with a another carrier. The phone is like brand new and I don't want to get rid of it, I'd prefer to use it with the new carrier.
Is there anyone who can give me some direction to this issue? Can the phone infact be "unlocked' to work with Consumer, it has the Verizon SIM card in it, I was able to root it, successfully, now if I can just get it unlocked. Had to purchase another phone so that I would not be without phone service while I work on trying to get this one unlocked.
I've been told it can't because Verizon is a CDMA carrier and Consumer is a GSM..if this in fact true than I've no options but to sell the phone.
I do have "Preferred Network Mode' and it gives me the following options, Global, LTE/CDMA & GSM/UMTS.
Any help, directions or information would be greatly appreciated. With my thanks to all those who have taken the time to read this post.

How did you get this phone 2 years ago? It barely came out a little more than a year ago.
Next, you can unlock it, but only if you pay for the full retail for the phone and then contact Verizon about what you want to do and then get an unlock code. After that, you're going to need a SIM card from Consumer Cellular.
There shouldn't be a problem with radio frequencies since the Verizon GS3 is a global phone. So the SIM card should work after you get it set up.
If I'm wrong in some aspect, someone feel free to correct me.

In regards to Unlocking the phone, the phone is unlocked out of the box, you just pop in your sim and select GSM mode! you have to set the APN for DATA yourself tho!

Hi:
I do not recall the date of purchase but know that when I purchased it I had to sign for a 2 yr contract with Verizon..that contract was up July 8,2013.
That is not important, what is important is to find out if in fact the phone can be unlocked, VERIZON swears it is unlocked so they are not going to be of any use to me to get their help. It is up to me to find someone who can unlock this phone via a cable. The code places I have contacted can't come up with a code, they have instructed me that it needs to be done with a cable.
As I stated, I am simply trying to get the phone unlocked to use on Consumer Celluar, of which I am already a memeber and have the SIM card activated on another SAMSUNG phone of which I had to buy.
I do not have to buy the phone outright, as the phone is paid for, thus the 2 yr contract. the phone is mine, but as long as it is in the state it is now, I can only use it on VERIZON.
The I535 has a sim card in it from Verizon, when I take out the Verizon SIM card and put in the Consumer SIM card I get the message, "this is a non verizon SIM card.
I am researching this everyday to find out if IT CAN BE UNLOCKED, AND #2 WHO CAN I GET TO UNLOCK IT? Verizon went so far as to tell me that all the person needs is a USB cable and PC...how true this is, I don't know.
Thank You

Verizon is right by saying its unlocked, and thats the most anyone can help you, if you are going to try unlocking the phone by cable, you might as well throw money down the drain! and 2 you need to update to the MF1 software! as MB1 and MD3 would tell you its non verizon sim card, but even on that update if you put the phone in GSM mode in Network settings the phone should work fine for calling and texting!

having the same issue, if you find out anything will you please let me know how to do this too. i would greatly appriciate it

SIM
Did you get the free Consumer Cellular SIM yet? Your post said you have rooted and have the Verizon SIM, and you can't get on CC network without their SIM card.
The phone is already "unlocked" for global/GSM use with the JB update, so you should be able to just pop in a SIM card from CC and change settings (they should provide you with this info).

A lot of ppl are saying the Verizon GS3 is already unlocked, but when i pop in my metro pcs sim card and switch network to cdma, nothing happens. What would I have to do to make it work with this metro carrier?

No Data, No Voice, No SMS
Hi. Im also having the same issue. I have a Verizon GS3 that was originally running 4.0.4, VRALHE. I rooted, updated the baseband to MF1, and installed RLS16 of Hyperdrive, so I now am on 4.1.2. I have the option to go GSM or Global, but when I put in my MetroPCS sim, I get nothing. It prompts me for Global, but I cant make calls or send sms. I also put in the APN and no data as well. Anyone know whatbI should do next? I have an IMEI, it doesnt appear to be lost, and I have tried the phone info app, as well as trying to go through the secret menu, the network lock menu is blank.

Hey, I got the same problem, and considering how it's been a while since the last post I wonder if there is any new news on this front. Thanx!
P.s: It came preinstalled with 4.3 stock, not rooted yet. I have the option to instal 4.4.2 via Kies {PDA:NE1 / PHONE:NE1 / CSC:NE1 (VZW)}.

Update here:
I digged into some settings and found that switching it into either Global or GSM seems to make the phone capable of voice calls.
Idk about 3G, I did manually type in the APN settings, but I never use anything other than wifi because internet here is expensive unless you go with one of their plans.
So if you haven't tried it, on 4.3 go to settings, under wireless and networks select 'More Settings', Mobile Networks, Network Mode.
Worked for me, although I still get "Non-Verizon SIM" in the notifications bar and it looks like my signal is a bit weaker than before. But still works.

guys you are wrong
guys there is no way metropcs, Boost mobile or sprint networks Work cause these are CDMA carriers and verizon and the other CDMA Carriers has a different activation way on Verizon smartphones the GSM module(gsm networks as well) come unlocked for foreigner carriers even the GSM US carriers(AT&T or TMOBILE) sometimes doesnt work hope that info help

[Q] Taking a Verizon S3 to AT&T

I bought a house and moved.
No service in the house with Verizon.
So, I switched to AT&T.
AT&T told me I would get HSPA+ with my Verizon S3.
Well... I have 2G, voice, and text.
Anyone have an idea of how to get HSPA+ enabled? Is it possible?
I have a custom ROM, but I can flash anything if it would help.

I don't think it's possible, they run on completely different networks (CDMA Vs GSM) and the phones radios are built accordingly.

There is a way cant remember where i read it, maybe on the t-mobile forum. I recently bricked my att device and came across a verizon variant and was able to use it for att with out having it sim unlocked just a few hours ago steps taken were as follows:
After swapping the motherboards i factory reset the non rooted verizon device from the settings menu as I was just going to sell it on ebay. I had been using wifi only on a sim locked t-mobile device but the camera was not working so i switched back to the verizon and was prompted to complete the set up after i booted the device with no sim card inside. I got the no sim card message and ran the app Region Lock Away that has a red circle icon and a black unlocked pad lock by chainfire. I was skeptical 1 for the device not being rooted but tried anyway. The app said it was not able to verfiy root and closed; however once I inserted my att sim card without powering off the device i saw signal bars. Now Im not sure the app actually did anything and I might have tried the app before resetting it without success but after checking the network mode in the mobile networks tab it now shows Global as the preferred network. So i started texting people and then calling all with success. Now im still on the edge network and this may not solve your issue but I remember seeing the work around I think it has to do with correcting the APN settings but there is always a way to get things done. Keep looking you will find it. Im just happy to have cell service again but Ill be looking for the thread in a day or so as well.

Forced into an AT&T phone. It worked for 4 days then stopped. Their tech support claims the tap wasn't compatible and they don't know why it worked

I had 2g for those 4 days

I'm always on wifi but noticed my data wasn't working so not an ideal switch but if you are in a bind it does work. I'm still running at&t network on this Verizon motherboard just fine

ATT data disconnected

I bought HTC U11 phone locked to sprint last week, unlocked and confirmed that it was unlocked.
Rooted the phone and installed VIPER ROM, I am presently using ATT in US, there is service, but mobile data shows disconnected.
I checked the access point details and discovered it was actually enabled.
I tried configuring it manually and no change at all
I tried with T-Mobile and shows connected.
I don't know why am having issue with ATT, I can make calls perfectly.

When you insert the sim card you should be prompted for network selection. Check you are using the correct apn settings as some carriers have different ones for different types of tarriff.
Failing that, speak to att. They might be aware of specific problems when migrating.

Hello I am new to this forum. I did a search and your post was first I saw. I bought an HTC 10 from a girl and went to put my Verizon sim card in and it says to contact Sprint for unlock code. Well I can't reach the girl who sold me the phone I can't root it if u could please help any advice would be appreciated. I have a hand written receipt from the girl but her #s disconnected. I've downloaded the twrp and super something also kingo root and can't get it rooted or get the s off turned on as it says s on. My email is [email protected] I'll check back as I said I'm new to this forum so still learning to use it. Sigh I have 2 other phones that a friend wanted me to fix. They did a hard reset and don't remember there Gmail set up with the phones. Right now this HTC is my main concern

So what are you trying to do, unlock simlock or root it?..
To root the phone you need to start at htcdev website and follow unlock bootloader. Then flash twrp then supersu. Bin kingoroot. It's crap.
Not sure you can manually unlock simlock. Might have to get the code off sprint.

I bought HTC U11 phone locked to sprint last week, unlocked and confirmed that it was unlocked.
Rooted the phone and installed VIPER ROM, I am presently using ATT in US, there is service, but mobile data shows disconnected.
I checked the access point details and discovered it was actually enabled.
I tried configuring it manually and no change at all
I tried with T-Mobile and shows connected.
I don't know why am having issue with ATT, I can make calls perfectly.

Make sure roaming and digital roaming is off. I had the same issue.
