How to verify unlock and change system/ui language - HTC Inspire 4G

I have an inspire 4g that is brand new and supposedly unlocked here. It is intended to be used on a gsm carrier in Egypt, the specific frequencies I do not know, nor am I interested. I would just like to know if anyone can help me establish if it is unlocked, as well as switch the language in the whole system to Arabic. I don't oppose root and flashing if need be, however it must be very reliable and stock like reliability if so, as it is going to someone who is not so tech savvy. Basically, is it a lost cause or is it plausible to easily get this thing working in a language they can read and keep it reliable?
Thanks for any information or help in advance!

That's a good question. Only thing I suggest is to flash a Rom that has your language already installed on it.

To verify if it's unlocked u must put in a sim and see if the device will place a call. I suggest u turn off device, put in sim, then reboot. That will let u know if it's GSM capabilities are unlocked

Is your inspire an att, Verizon or T-Mobile?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk

It is AT&T. It appears to coincide correctly with the frequencies that are used with the mobile carrier they intend to use, and I'll have a look at all the info you've provided, thank you!

Anyone have a "hard" bricked device they would like to sell? I need parts.
I'd venture to guess anyone with a phone like that has already gone through at&t or HTC for warranty or whatever since these phones are all less than a year old still

Looking for HTC Inspire 4G stock rom zip

I am having HTC inspire for last one year and got it as a gift... So cannot throw into dustbin. Now I am looking for stock rom as it was already rooted. Can someone share me stock rom rooted/non-rooted with working download links. In all old posts all download links are not working.
Thanks in advance

[HELP] Can't start at all!

Hi there,
My friend has just bought this phone, and he had one night a problem w/ it after charging it : the phone was charging and when he removed the cable it froze, rebooted and stuck in a white screen, and that's something that happens to many people.
So he gave it to a "technician" how literally [email protected]#$ed it up : we don't really know what he did but we are 80% he flashed the wrong rom on this phone .
Now the phone cant even start, AND:
-The phone doesn't start even if you keep pressing the power button
-Sometimes the led is orange when charging, and stays orange even if the charger is unplugged
-I removed the battery (to test the theory of "the battery isn't well placed") for more than 10 mins, and sticked a duct tap to the volume down : here there's no orange led but after some time (and this doesn't happen always) I can get to HBOOT but I can't do anything (it is frozen and I can't navigate nor select by power button).
-If keep it charging, it suddenly turns on (after more than half hour of waiting) and shows "htc" logo and keeps vibrating for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time then it stops and goes to black screen but it is on.
What should I do?
This happens to me too

The long vibrate thing happened to me when I flashed a ROM from ROM manager some years back. Don't flash Roms from there. But if his phone vibrates forever and doesn't load..then its more than likely he flashed a ROM that somehow messed his boot loader up. That's how I got into that predicament

Yea. U won't be able to select anything for some time. Make sure your device is plugged in so it doesn't die on ya. Give it about five mins to be on boot loader..then see if u can navigate the menu..u need to make sure you have the device's drivers and fastboot drivers on your computer.

Activate in language and settings and once you go type the icon in notification bar should show a keyboard hit that and switch.

Vibration isn't working here either, also the spell checker isn't working. Other than those it seems to function pretty solid.

I just flashed the normal file. It was the first link I was being impatient and didn't even see that the other says "for other devices" but I haven't had any problems with the normal one and it works flawlessly.

Very nice actually. I've been using swiftkey for a long time but this one is excellent. Will give it a few days and decide if I will keep it or not. But thus far I would say yes.
If vibration and the spell checker aren't working it's a no from me, otherwise id certainly be interested.

Root for g930r7!

Anyone knows the proper root method for this model. I understand that all snapdragon variants have root now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I believe you have to use the engineering shoot located in the ATT thread. It roots the Verizon model as well.
