Apparently my searching skills are rusty. This simply has to be a thread somewhere.
I just picked up an HTC Inspire 4g as a backup phone. I'm on Solavei, so I need to SIM unlock it. I have read through a few guides, but keep running into discontinued tools for rooting.
I don't need to do anything but unlock the SIM. How do I do that?

Your device has to be gsm unlocked. Or u have to get a contract

Hello all, first of all yes I am a NOOB , second , I searched and i have not found any information. basically I have 2 HTC EVO 4G phones and both are locked onto the Sprint network , I have seen tutorials on YT that show how to "unlock" these CDMA phones , I was always under the impression only GSM phones had the ability to be carrier / sim unlocked , am i wrong ? also these videos mentioned that this is NAND Unlock , is this different than carrier / sim unlock ? could some one give me a simple explanation of this nand vs sim unlock difference ? what would be the benefits of unlocking these EVO 4G's if any ? and what would be the best method to go about doing so ? Ive used unRevoke as well as Visionary root methods and i have basic knowledge of how to use the SDK ADB program as well. Can anyone help me clarify all this info please ? thank you so much for your help

No benefit. Because they're CDMA you can't put a different SIM into it. All you could do is switch to a different CDMA network. You'd need to do that through Sprint as far as I'm aware and I don't think they'd be too happy about it =[

I have a Atrix 2 AT&T sim locked .If I install a custom rom like Supercharged Atrix, will be unlocked to any network mobile ? I live in Costa Rica, I bought my phone on ebay like new, unmodified and without contract,but I dont have money to buy the unlock code in cellunlocker.net. It is necessary to unlock the bootloader to unlock the sim card ? I Search in all the forum to see if the doubt was resolved but did not find anything.Somebody help me please!!!
No, it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader to have your sim unlocked.
That is a network provider deal.
Our bootloader is currently "UNLOCKABLE".

I don't think installing custom ROM will unlock the phone for all carriers. You have to do unlock separately if you want to use with any provider other than AT&T.
SIM unlock is entirely separate from changing roms, the bootloader and all that stuff.

Currently our bootloader is LOCKED. Installing the SC ROM will not unlock your phone. To unlock it search on eBay for an unlock code. This right now or the only way to unlock your phone.

He means to SIM unlock the phone, not bootloader unlock....
a sim unlock is about $16.00 USD, just search ebay for atrix 2 sim unlock code.
I got mine from here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200686991308&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
works beautifully

Hi Guys,
I've sold my sensation and I had assumed that because I had rooted unlocked and flashed an unbranded stock ROM that it would be SIM free, but apparently its not.
Can anybody recommend a remote sim unlock service for me to use to unlock it?
By the inconceivable amount of power that Google may grant you.....

You will have to get the new owner to do some bits for you like ADB, and other commands but there.its free.it works
^ follow his link and click first thread.. if the new owner can't follow those simple commands then their sol

Hi all
I've rooted and unlocked my two previous HTC, Desire & Desire HD, but I'm struggling with the One Mini
At the moment it's on EE
It's rooted, S-OFF'd, SuperCID'd and has TWRP Recovery installed, but still when I put the 3 SIM card in, it comes up with Network Locked
Any ideas?
Your either gonna have to phone EE or maybe buy an unlock code off eBay. As far as I know there are no software solutions for this.

You still need to enter the network unlock code. I've done it for a Galaxy Ace before using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17148825#post17148825
