Hey guys,
Have any of you heard of an unlocked developers device for the 8x? I bought a used one off craigslist and when booting it says "not for resale" under the w8 logo. It also has white engraved numbering on the front face (top left). everything works great but I cannot update the software! Anyone know about this?
The phone is also unlocked and was used on TMobile by the previous owner, however it is a verizon branded phone and I even put in my verizon sim and it works fine!
Hi Guys,
I bought a new HTC 8x and unfortunately its a dev piece as when I restart the phone, I get "Not for Resale".
Can this be removed? Any help on this will be appreciated.

Hi all. I'm new to all this after sacking my iphone in favour of the wonderful Desire a couple of weeks ago. I bought the phone on an O2 (UK) pay and go contract and have put my old iphone sim in which works fine. I am keen to get the 2.2 update so paid to unlock my phone having read that unlocked phones can get it now. However, my phone appears to be unlocked as I can use my wife's 3 sim in there but I still can't get the update yet. How do I do this? Do I need to put in a sim from a provider that has released the update already or is there another way round this? Any help would be appreciated as I am learning my way round what appears to be a great OS and phone, even though I appear to have wasted cash unlocking it!
Thanks, in advance.
Note to self-read the forums..!
I've seen how to do it via the Gold card method but would appreciate advice as to which ROM to use...I'm assuming as I'm branded to O2 the O2 specific one is correct? 124865?
I can't post links yet unfortunately.
Hi all
I bought an HTC HD2 new, boxed, gleaming and unused from eBay. Locked to T-Mobile, it took you guys to help get it unlocked so I could use it with my O2 sim. I tried to upgrade the ROM but found that the version I used - 1.72.110.4 - was in fact back to the T-Mobile bunch of stuff you chaps and lasses had tried so hard to get me away from.
I have found the latest O2 version - 1.72.206.3 - which I have copied to my microSD but each time I attempt to install it on the phone I get an error message saying that its not a valid phone file (sob!).
I can no longer access the internet through my roaming bolt on as the thing is tied up to T-Mobiles programming and until I can bully the phone into accepting the new O2 ROM software I am, proverbally, stuffed.
Can anyone suggest a course of action I might follow to get my poor HD2 back on track? (if the course involves alcohol then I've love you all the more for it).
Any assistance you guys n gals might be able to lend would be greatly appreciated.
Kindest regards

First off, thank you for making a brilliant forum! Now that I dont get any further by searching for information I need som help from you guys.
Thing is: I have two sensations. Both are s-off, rooted, superCID and have the latest coindroid installed. Both are originally tmobile phones which were bought unlocked some while ago. They have both been used successfully in europe until now that im in the US.
For various reasons i have three simcards for these phones. And in one of them t-mobile doesnt seem to work at all. Neither before software modifications or after. The other phone with similar mods have no problems.
The other simcards are a norwegian one and another pay-as-you-go simcard which has been used since t-mobile doesnt work.
Since both phones are rooted and s-off I guess there is a setting somewhere. Where is this particular setting? Anybody that could come a newbie to the rescue?
Thanks!
no setting if phone dont ask for a unlock code or has been unlocked i am going to say bad/banned imi number call t-Mobile and ask them if your phone is black listed
The phone is blocked by tmobile it appears. Bought it off amazon nine months ago. The phone was sold as new and "unlocked" back then and w/o warranty, but not as stolen phone. Im angry right now.
Neither Tmobile or HTC are very helpful on the phone. Costumer service at Tmobile keeps failing to put me over to anyone who can help.
Any tips on how to proceed further? Showing up at one of their shops and stay there until someone is able to help?
Since the phone is without warranty its very tempting to do illegal stuff to it right now.

Like what free apps or fake call 911 lol not much you can do that's illegal
Only things you can do try att sim but may not work
resell on eBay for parts should get most of your money back or keep calling T-Mobile there the only ones who can if they will

Hi guys,
My dad just bought a HTC One SV phone from Vodafone Spain and he's planning to go back home with it, but he's (me as well) uncertain whether the phone is sim locked or not.
Is there any code that will say whether the phone is locked or not? For instance, I have Sony Xperia S and when I dial *#*#7378423#*#* and it tells me if the phone's locked.
Is there something similar for HTC? Putting a different SIM card in the phone is out of the question. I'm just interested in the code that might give him the information.
Thank you in advance!
Hi.
Since the SV can now be S-OFF, I guess it could be done... Maybe have a look at the One S forums to find a similar method. It worked the same way for all the "One something" phones to change the CID, for example.
Hello all,
I purchased a Samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100m off someone on craigstlist a few years back (original owner /w box clean imei).
I am currently on Virgin Mobile which is bell mobility network - Apparently when I purchased it he already unlocked/rooted the phone but I believe I removed that by installing the official jellybean on my phone (it still works with my virgin sim).
Now I am planning to purchase a new smartphone and give my mom this one.. She is on the rogers network.
I have no idea if this phone is virgin or bell locked (does it actually matter between the two while selecting it on a unlock code site?)
If it does matter how do I find out the orginal locked carrier? The phone has no logos besides the type GT-i9100m.
Oh and what is the cheapest unlock site?
Thank you.

It depends on the unlocking method, some just unlock using a standard code whilst others contact the network it is locked to for a specific code. I would advise checking just to be sure so the unlock works. However after research that phone is seen most common on Virgin so I would select them and if that option isn't available go Bell (After all most services offer a refund/retry, all that I've used anyway)
Unfortunatley, I do not know a cheap and reliable service but some say you can do it yourself but I'm sure after some search on Google/eBay you can get a good, RELIABLE service (Reliability is more important than cost)
Hope I could help and good luck with your unlock

sorry, i cant help you with your question.
i just wanted to point out to be very cautious when choosing an unlock site. i see posts frequently of users getting ripped off. when choosing a site, i would do some google searches on them, to see if it results in any scam reports.
i have never used one of these sites, so i dont know ant to suggest.
