so the HTC J ISW13HT was released in Japan 10 days ago, and I'm eager to get my hands on it. Only I am not in Japan.
Are there any people in Japan here on the forums that can answer some questions for me?
Is the phone locked to au? And does the phone in fact support GSM sim card at all? I know it has a card slot but since au is CDMA I wonder if the phone accepts sim cards (it has GSM functionality).
cheers

Hmm, I suppose when I get my hands on one, I'll be able to answer this question. I'll try to stop by an au shop to poke around one of their display models.
I'm assuming the phone is locked to au, though.
nice, thanks. Does au sell phones without contract at all?

I think you can purchase the phone outright but to get it unlocked you'll have to pay for the unlocking fee which is about ¥3000. Even then, I dunno if it has a removable sim card

Any more info?
It's been about a month now since this was posted, any new info?
I live in Japan and have the phone, but can't find much info for Root yet (in English at least) or Sim Unlock if it's possible or not.

Have you downloaded the ruu for it?
If you get that you can probably add su and busy box to it and maybe look at the one s threads for a root method

It does support GSM/CDMA/WCDMA/WiMAX
But the GSM/WCDMA function seemed to be locked by AU.
You could not use GSM/Wcdma network when you insert a GSM/Wcdma Usim.
I have this phone, unlocked the bootloader, root, but can't make sim free.
I can't post links, only after 10 posts.
I have translated scripts for one click root.
Does anyone know sim unlock is possible for this phone?
Now the J is also in the market of HK and Taiwan. Hope someone can cook ROM for us.

Are the HK and Taiwan versions of J also simlocked?

Taiwan versions of J does not have simlocked.

Did you try install the Recovery on it?
If so, then I can unlock and root it now!

There is a hack. It uses radio from Taiwan version of HTC J (not simlocked).

Anyone can translate this into English? Seems a fair amount of info in Japanese, but nearly nothing in English... Google translate works very poorly from Japanese, don't really trust it for this.
Also, once you've flashed the radio from the Taiwan version, does it still work on AU? I don't want to change carrier to Docomo/Softbank, but I want to use local sim cards when I travel.
So whats the steps to unlock this little guy?
Hi everybody,
I have already flashed a new ROM (ICS 4.0.4) and I have superuser permissions (root) but,
Is it possible to use my smartphone with some other company SIM card? My mobile phone is an Lt15i (Xperia Arc) and i bought it in Spain (with vodafone) ... now i am in germany and i want to use my new FONIC SIM...
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Fernando.

If it's an unlocked GSM phone, it will work with any GSM carrier. I don't know if your phone is carrier locked or not, though. Also, custom roms don't control which carrier you can use.

You don't need root or ANYTHING to unlock your phone.
1) get SIM that is not the network the phone was originally on
2) buy unlock code from local dealer or trusted ebay seller. You have to give them your IMEI I believe
3) put that SIM in and when prompted, enter unlock code. Phone is now unlocked for any SIM card for eternity

I am a complete noob and this is my first ever post on XDA. I have searched the forums but unable to find it. So here are some of my queries.
I am using at&t one x, sim unlocked and I am using it in Pakistan with Waridtel. Now when I check for updates in at&t software update, it says service unavailable (because I m not using at&t I guess). So does this mean I will not be able to update it unless I put at&t sim in it?
The other query is all the methods which I searched including one click method and manual ones have a step where one has to check for update. But as I cant have it because it says service unavailable, does this mean I will not be able to root unless I put at&t sim in it?
Sorry for being so dumb again but help will be highly appreciated. I have attached couple of scrrenshots of firmware and baseband etc.
Regards,
Remove the sim card and try again using wifi. That worked for someone in Japan. Just remember not to accept the update. There are instructions for how to proceed.

You can delete bloat apps (like AT&T's) if you root, and you will be sim-unlocked. Google for "attn1 aahk."

All what bananagranola said, and find all the information you need in the guide in my signature. S-OFF gives you total control of your device from removing bloatware to changing the rom, besides changing radios, bootanimations and so on...
The Hack Kit link is in the guide...

SIM Unlock
If you have your phone paid off and/or have had service for a few months, you should be able to get the unlock code and instructions from TMo. They provided me with the aforementioned info without any pushback. Just call their support number or hop on chat and they will help you out. Also it's free
