hello everyone,
of course im a total noob so i am in desperate need of your help.
i just bought an unlocked att htc inspire 4g from amazon and when i tried to use it with my carrier, i reside in argentina, it says "no service"
and i cant connect to my carrier. if i dont put my sim card it says " no sim card" but i put it in, it just stays in no service and doesnt ask me for any code to unlock it.
now i ve done some searching before posting and I've done the power, - volume thingie and my phone says s-off in the menu.
the phone's band matches the one in my country so thats not the issue.
how can i make this phone work so it can recognize the carrier?
hope sombody can give me a hand

Can't anybody help me? Please! I've search troughout the forum and couldn't find anything related...the phone says s-off rl when I enter bootloader but apparently it is not rooted since i tried to instal cynogenmod and was not able to, neither could I use clockworkmod? (Can't remember if that is the exact name...)
I could not rooot the device either with htcdev tool since I can't install the ruu and can't use the rom.zip file either so I can't go through with the rooting
I don't care too much about rooting anyway, but I thought that if I root the device I can change the radio frec and finally I can use my freaki phone
Help would really be apreciated since I'm really lost here

Did you try inserting "a SIM card not attached to your current provider (e.g if you have T-mob use an ATT SIM CARD) and turn on your phone?" (credit sanfranx415 post) edit: maybe try a different gsm carrier in the same country you reside.
From what I have read and understand different versions of busybox will work or are compatible for different things (maybe somebody will tell me if that is not accurate).
Here is a video that might help.
Good luck!
Try contacting t mobile and tell them your going overseas for a few months and want to take your phone with you and is there a way to unlock it so it can be used in another country.

When you insert the sim card and power up the phone, as you unlock it it should give you a network lock screen that only lets you use the phone after inputting the unlock code.
i try to change simcard in my phone(different network)
when it load to homescreen it doesnt have signal but the phone can read
my contact and messages that are already stored in that simcard
is my phone sim locked?
if not.how is that it dont have any signal?
The phone is branded or unbranded?

what do you mean branded or unbranded?is it fake or orginal?
how do i know if it is branded?
i think its all original cause i alredy rooted it and flash it to 6.5.1 XE
when i search network and select the correct network for my simcard it says
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"
what does that means

Seems like you need to get an unlock code.

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

i dont know if its branden.i just bought to a site here in the philippines.is there any other way to unlock this.i tried cleaning s58 and still no signal
it also doesnt ask for sim code.
I will be abroad this summer (outside of the USA) for a good amount of time and wanted to verify that my HTC Inspire 4G was going to work with a SIM I will be purchasing for the portion of my trip in which I will be in China. Unfortunately I will not have the SIM card until I arrive there so there is no way for me to test my phone at the moment. I just want to make sure I'm not going to get there and not be able to use the SIM. I rooted my device back in 2010 with the ACE Hack Kit. I went into my bootloader just now and selected "simlock" and it gave me these results:
FAT32 init OK
open MCCMNC file fail
open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device
<VOL UP> Yes
I am assuming that this is not good? Can anyone provide me with some input on this issue? I did a Google search on the problem but did not find much. Some people were saying that its a bad SDcard but I have now tried 3 micro SD cards with no luck.
Any help is appreciated!
Ha, another guy from Alabama, nice...ROLL TIDE ROLL..anyways, you used AAHK to root,superCID sim unlock so your ability to use different carriers is there...when I first got the phone, I was on T-Mobile but only limited to edge network but I'm back on AT&T...that aside, I'm not sure why your getting those problems because I've never seen those kinds of problems before

If you used the Hack Kit and your Device is already S-OFF, then you are simunlocked. That doesn't mean that all sim cards work with a sim unlocked device.
EDIT: Nevermind, I called ATT to double check and they gave me a different code that worked. Sorry for the post.
I know this gets asked alot, but the information, situations, and answers out there are so many it is difficult to determine what needs to be done, so I am hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction.
I had unlocked my bootloader using htcdev, installed 4ext recovery, and flashed latest Cyanogenmod. I have been wanting to switch to T-mobile (I know about the possibility of not having 4g with that) and come to find out, entering the Network PUK code doesnt work in Cyanogen..
I gleaned that I needed to re-flash stock rom and then try to unlock, but I did this, and it still isnt accepting the code, argh. Do I need to relock my bootloader or do anything special? I got this code straight from ATT. With the ATT SIM in the phone, it doesnt ask for it, I restart phone with my T-mobile SIM in, and it asks for the code, but always says its incorrect. How is it checking this anyway, as it doenst seem to be communicating over the mobile network.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.
Hi all, I think I looked everywhere for similar issue, including xda, but no luck. I got my "new" Sensation yesterday and, obviously, I wanted to have a custom rom as I do on my Desire. So I unlocked the bootloader and flashed both recovery and new rom (yes, the phone is still S-ON because I just couldn't get it to S-OFF, no matter what method I tried there was always an issue and I couldn't complete the procedure. if it's important I can explain in details what I tried/not tried). Right now it sits on CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3 Jellybean [KANG] with 4EXT recovery. Everythin is fine however the phone is locked to O2 and I'm with T-Mobile. I tried to get the phone to S-OFF in order to remove the simlock myself but as I mentioned, no luck. So I got pissed off and I bought the unlock pin code. I've inserted my T-Mobile card, phone asked for the pin, I've entered it and boom, phone is unlocked. Great, I think to myself... well not really. One, the phone just won't get the signal (and I tried putting it to GSM mode only) and two, every time I reboot it the message to enter network pin come up . So I enter the code again and that's the end of the loop. Tried hard reset after entering the pin code but after a reboot it would still ask for the unlock pin and then won't pick up any signal. I've tried giffgaff sim card and that works straight away (as it works under O2) so it's not the phone issue (well, not the sim card port anyway).
Any ideas/solution/questions a-ny-thing would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to rage quit and give up on it .

Hi,
Could it just be the t-mob sim card?
Is there any chance to get a new one from them?

Thought that but the card works fine in my Desire. Never had any problems with it. What gets me is that constant message asking for the network pin after rebooting the phone. Surely once the code is entered the phone is unlocked ...
If I can't find any solution by monday I'll visit their shop and ask for a new sim or I'll just move my number to giffgaff >_>
Obviously if anyone has any solutions or ideas feel free to share them and I will be sure to try them. I'd really appreciate it!!
Sorry for double post
