[Q] HTC J ISW13HT - any japanese here?

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
Sent from my MZ604 using xda

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.

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?

[Q] is there any possibility to gsm unlock the HTC ONE E8 sprint version ?

Hi Guys,
I'm just won the HTC One E8 sprint version on an ebay auction, i didnt received the phone yet but i already know that is locked to sprint, i started to look for an unlocking code in trusted websites like cellunlocker.net and masterunlockcode but they dont have listed codes for the E8 sprint version.

***Here's my story trying to get GSM sim card to work on E8.***
Before I bricked my E8, I was able to get it UNLOCK (S-OFF) via SunShine(Theroot.ninja, cost you $25). I confirmed that with Sprint's original rom, you won't be able to use any GSM sim cards WHATSOEVER. (I've tried AT&T's & T-mobile) However, *I think* the correct procedure should be: 1.) get it S-OFF, 2.) change cid by fastboot oem writecid & 3.) wipe or install new rom in order to get GSM sim card recognized. Hopefully this info helps.
**BTW, can any one spare some time and do a TWRP backup for me to recover my messed-up E8? I would be very appreciated.

Hi everyone. I'm in a similar situation. I live in Italy (sorry for my english, guys ) and I bought a branded Sprint HTC One E8 too from USA (single sim and made in Taiwan version). It arrived here supposedly unlocked (my UMTS sim works fine) and with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 installed on.
My intention is to upgrade it to Lollipop but I'm wondering if it is possible, because:
1. If I flash the Spring rom, what happens? Should the phone remains unlocked or it will be re-locked to Spring? And how will I be able to unlock it again?
2. If I change CID and install a stock rom (asian or european ones), I don't know if my sim card will work properly, because the Asian and European Rom are Gsm rom while the Spring rom is WCDMA rom( very similar to UMTS), as reported in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210

Do you know if the previous owner had the phone unlocked by sprint? You should flash a custom recovery , do a backup and the try tu update to 5.0. If you lose GSM capabilities you can go back to 4.4
Do not flash any Asian or European roms, most of them are dual sI'm and sprint is single

So does anyone know a method to remain unlocked
My E8 is working fine on 4.4.2 with sprint badboy unlock but will it stay that way if i update to latest by OTA.

Unlock is permanent even if you take OTA. If you don't want to take a risk just do a backup of your current version and take the OTA, if you lose your unlock go back to your previous version.

Still not sure about it
Someone on other thread said that if u update u loose unlock and than u can't go back.
So has anyone tried.

[Q] Sim Unlock Xperia Z3 D6616

I recently purchased a T-mobile Xperia Z3 D6616 with the hopes of using it internationally but it seems it can't be unlocked traditionally by entering unlock code. When inserting a non t-mobile sim there is no prompt to enter unlock code. Since i am not a T-mobile customer i can not utilize the "Device Unlock" app that comes pre-installed on the ohone. So my question is... Is there any other method of sim unlocked the T-mobile branded Xperia Z3 D6616?

Try flashing a generic ftf and see if it asks you for a unlock code

Thanks for your response. I actually tried to flash the generic d6603 ftf but to no avail. Just got back a lot of errors in flashtool. Do you know if the have a generic ftf for the d6616?

As far as I know no, espescially since bootloader in also not unlockable yet, only way is to be on contract with the phone on T-Mobile for at least 45 days. Also you are better off getting other versions of the Z3 as they support a lot more LTE bands.

Thanks for your response. I guess i'll try contacting T-mobile customer service to see if they can offer any advice.
Thanks again.

Are you a T-Mobile customer in the US going on trips or did you just buy it to use it in your home country?

Purchased it for use in the West Indies but looks like I won't be able to use it after all.

Better return it and get the international version. Even in US D6603 is the unlocked version.
The D6616 has only 3 LTE bands and may not be compatible in your area, for LTE service. Only advantage of the D6616 is that it has 32GB vs 16GB for other versions.

Would it be possible to create a flashable generic ftf for the z3 d6616 by editing some of the files of the generic d6603 ftf?

No

Ok, thanks for your response.

Its an over the network unlock. No TMO no unlock. Only way around will be if you root which we can't as of now.

Only way
The only way I managed to unlock it was using the unlock app and meet the requirements from t-mobile to work (like been a t-mobile customer).

when you guys with the unlocked D6616 go to the service menu does it say Bootloader unlock allowed: yes or does it say Bootloader unlock allowed: no. i used the app to unlock and it says no

hi
i have a d6616 tmobile version and bought the unlock code, non able to input the code, and not able to unlock with the stock app, dual recovery installed and rooted already, is there a way to put the simunlockapp.apk in the system and then using titanium backup pro, to make it internal so after rebooting, simunlock code prompting?
or to flash a rom that prompts the code
or is there any metropcs z3 rom that surely can be flashed even with locked bootloader to tmobile version?
any help
than you very much indeed

On some phones like the Sprint LG G2 there was a work around using root and the HTC M8 using root+SuperCID, but is most cases root won't help with the SIM Lock.
Only thing you can do is, give it to a TMO user for 40 days and then T-Mobile will unlock it, over the air after you call them.

Bootloader and sim unlocked?

I am thinking about getting Tmobile galaxy s7 to use on Cricket. Can anyone tell if it's sim and bootloader unlocked? I think tmobile s6 was unlocked bootloader and sim.
Thanks.

SIM locked, bootloader unlocked.
SM-G930T 6.0.1

SIM lock doesn't happen until a SIM is put in I believe. That said if you put the Cricket SIM in first it should lick to Cricket.

That's what people are saying, but T-mobile has the app lock on their version. That is part of the software that ships with the phone. Don't believe everything you hear. My SM-G930T came locked to T-mobile.

I'm in the same boat, getting a tmobile s7 for use on cricket.
Unfortunately, it'll come locked, and you'll need to keep it on the network for 40 days before they unlock it for you.

And yet another person on that same boat...
Hopefully we can find a company to remote unlock it. If anyone finds a company that can remote unlock it for a reasonable price, hopefully they can post in this thread

Just because a recovery that isn't meant for your phone can't be flashed on this and because it says Qualcomm secure boot enabled which almost every QC Samsung phone has said does not MEAN THE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED!!! MY GOD PEOPLE! The tmobile S7 is bootloader UNLOCKED and SIM CARD!
It is as simple as that!!!

Sim unlock is very possible, mine is. You just use the device unlock app by T-Mobile. But no one, I mean no one, on any USA variant has an unlocked bootloader. Unless they work for samsung or simply aren't sharing.
