Well, the Sprint TP2 radio is locked from using United States GSM networks but it is unlocked for Non-US networks so in order for you to use a US GSM networks you would have to Pay for SIM/Security Unlocker and flash an unlocked radio.
Probably not what you wanted to hear.
Thanks,
Wich radio could i choose ?

You should do the SIM Unlock process first here:

Then use the unlocked 1.96 or 2.32 Sprint radio from the thread the previous poster linked you to.
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.

Taiwan versions of J does not have 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,

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

You can debrand and run BTU stock UK firmware or install a custom ROM but I dont think either will unlock the SIM for other networks. That would need to be done via Vodafone or one of the third party unlockers, both of which will charge a fee.

Hi mate
Only if the phone is SIM unlocked , only then you can use another carrier sim, you need this no matter what Stock rom or custom rom you install.
As far as i know there is no "free" way to sim unlock yet....
Hi,
bit new to all this but do know how t flash using odin, and root etc..
Have a G900p which i would like to function like a uk standard S5 as its for my old man, who isn't very tech savvy.
which custom rom would be best to flash it with so it appears as close to a standard UK S5 as possible.
and do I need to do anything else to it or is it just a case of flashing the custom rom
One he can just drop his sim card in and use..
many thanks for any help
giger
Hi... If you phone is already released for work with any sim card do you have check band operator that you will use in the UK to see if it is compatible with your sprint S5.
If you phone is not already released for work with any sim card, first do you have unblock it. You can make it installing SSU.apk but this application only works in android 4.4, after this you can upgrade.
Sorry for my bad english but i am from LatAm. I hope I've helped. :cyclops:
