Hello to all,
I'm new here, I come from France and I would like to replace my HTC G2 by Photon Q. It does not exist in Europe, unfortunately, so had to buy in the USA.
Before making this purchase I have several questions.
Is it possible to put a sim card in the phone to operate in GSM?
I'd like to know if I take a phone with a bad ESN, I can still make it work on the French network in GSM?
You can choose the language other than English or Spanish?
thank you in advance for your return
You'll have to mod the Photon Q to be able to put a SIM Card in it.
More information -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929143
Bad ESN, good ESN, it doesn't matter if you want to use it in europe.
With a Custom ROM (CM 10.1 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255134 ) you are able to choose different languages.
A Custom ROM is no problem since you'll lose your warranty after the SIM Card mod.
ok thank you, but it will not be possible to keep the SIM card in the phone.

On the first Inthe tutoring, I do not understand how it is to keep the sim card?
You have to trust to the dark power!

Ended up getting a Samsung i927 instead. A big step up from my Xperia Mini Pro.

I just bought a Samsung Nexus S - Model number I9020A - The phone is unlocked - it has no SD Card and it will not access 3G only EDGE.
Is there anyway to upgrade this model phone to the new Android OS?
I plan to use the phone on T-mobile in the US and other carriers in Brazil and Europe.
Other than to return the phone, does anyone have a recommendation about making the phone access 3G and operate without an SD card?
Thanks in advance.

Puzzled - You are not sure I am serious about my question
Of course my question is serious. I would not ask a question like that and not expect a serious answer.
Maybe I came to the wrong place to find a solution.
Sorry about that.
the phone doesnt have a physical sd card, it has a 16gb memory built in. even if it did have a physical one, any phone can run without one. as for updating the phone, as long as its completely stock you should have no problem connecting to wifi and getting the OTA.

There are no updates on the air OTA

Hi, I can download the current version of Android to a computer. But the directions tell me to transfer the data to an SD card. I have no card. Is it still possible to put the current version of Android on my phone without it being over the air?
If so, where I can find instructions for this? Thanks
think of the phone as a flash drive
all you need is a cable to plug it into the computer. this should help

I think you have a lot of research and exploring to do before you attemp this. If this step is confusing then you are sure to be confused later on. Read, read it again, read another thread, try, then ask for help.
Hi Guys,
I'm a new poster but long time reader.
I hope someone can assist; I have been trying for a good few hours to allow my S4 (GT-I9505) to accept any Sim card.
Currently, when it's turned on it will give the message:
SIM Unlock Network PIN
You get the following options:
<Unlock>
<Dismiss>
It's a UK Phone originally from the EE network.
The Phone used to have a stock EE Firmware version 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNI2) I have since flashed this to the THREE network's 4.4.2 firmware (I9505XXUGNJ3) but unfortunately this didn't unlock it.
I have also tried a few Custom Roms and have rooted the device but don't really know where to go from here.
I have seen a few people mentioning that it can be done using *#0011# and a few other key codes but these don't work either.
When I try to get to the service menu (Hit Back then key input 1 then Back again) it does nothing.
Can anyone suggest what my next step would be? I'm more than happy to root or flash Roms or what ever it takes to get it unlocked.
I've searched the forums high and low but can't seem to find anything that relates to my situation.
Thanks,
S.
Uh, the EU legally forbid SIMlocks in 2003. There shouldn't be a SIMlock. That's very odd.
This really should be in the relevant thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683

Many thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure if it is a SIM lock. More like a network lock. When the phone is turned on with a Non-EE SIM inserted, this message comes up:

The post you linked me to doesnt seem to work - I have tried the menu options many times but I think the service menu's must have been removed from 4.4.2 or I am doing something wrong.
Is there a way to simply unlock the phone so it will accept a SIM card from any Network?
Thanks again,
S
Changing ROMs won't do anything. Carrier locking is contained in a different part of the phone's firmware.
Contact EE and tell them you need an unlock code.

If the zip file is on the sdcard it will automatically find/select it after local upgrade
If you have the t mobile variant you won't have this option.

Are u saying that the system can be updated only after i change the stock firmware to international? is there no other way? And is it even worth upgrading this time? Thanks in advance

You should probably reply to Post #5, as that person made the statement that the option wasn't available on the T-Mob version, as they might know more. I was just clarifying what he meant by "variant" as that term confused another user.
Is your phone rooted? That is the only reason I can see for wanting to use the local upgrade option.
