Unlocking the HTC Imagio [Verizon]

I posted this on the Imagio thread and after a day i still get any reply's. So i hope that ill get some info about it. I researched about unlocking the Verizon imagio and it'll require me giving the IMEI number from to a certain website and they'll encrypt it. so when i do recieve the IMEI number what is the procedure to unlock the phone? and if its safe? And what website do you guys prefer to use for unlocking this phone?
Thanks

cdma (verizon/ sprint) devices dont have sim slots therefore they can not be unlocked.

Yes they do. You can unlock it for use with a GSM carrier. BUT, you cannot use a GSM device on CDMA carriers.

so i cant use it?? for a AT&T sim?

I mean "so i cant use this HTC Imagio From Verizon Even i get it unlocked and then put a AT&T sim in it?

Yes, you can use it on AT&T, T-Mobile, Rodgers, Telus, etc. Any GSM network, as long as it's unlocked, but you will not get 3G coverage.

Wow, same phone and everything lol. Yes you can do everything you would normally on it, just data wouldn't be as fast but not really slow. Just middle range.

Update
I checked the back of the phone and all i saw was 14 digits for the imei code..
i know i need 15 in order to unlock the phone.
i dialed the *#06# number and its the same thing...
so why am i only given 14 digits instead of 15?
Thanks

Bump I'm really looking forward to getting this answered

[Q] Sim Unlock MyTouch 4G Slide for FREE?

Is there any way to unlock the sim unlock the phone for free?
When I got my G2, I was able to unlock it via gfree.
If not, can a fellow XDA T-Mobile user help me out? I run on AT&T. They're free to request and only takes a few minutes...

Yes.
Search the forum, I posted something on this.

I know the Sensation had a way to unlock once you had root, I'll see if I can find the link once I get home.

Here you go.

I think that code is specific to your handset.

Which part is specific to the phone? I obtained the unlock code for my phone from T-Mobile, but right now I don't have another SIM. I would like to enter the code before I get to China and find out the code I'm given doesn't work. I remember on my old Motorola phone I could enter a sequence in the dialer to bring up the unlock function, enter the unlock code, and it was good. Is that possible on the MT4GS?

Do you recommend the method from the sensation forum, or your method?
They are both posted under the sticky in the general section.

If you can get your hands on an AT&T or other non tmobile sim card, you can unlock your phone. Just insert any "foreign" sim card and the phone will prompt you to enter the code.
lol, flag down a friend and use their sim card for a few seconds

I'll try tipping **05*06390811*1234*1234# but it gave an error and then 9 try left. The method for the sensation didnt help either.
You can always call tmobile (if you have tmobile) and say that you are going to leave the country for 1 month and need to unlock the phone to use it outside. They are legally obligate to give you the code if you have been with them more than 6 months (or something like that). I dont know what are the laws outside USA

That's the reason why I started this thread. I don't have tmobile, so I can't ask for a code from them. I was hoping someone else on XDA would be able to help me out with that, by requesting a code for me.

I used a 8 year old NEXTEL sim to get the unlock prompt
I was totally aware it would not connect to any network afterwards, I only needed the prompt.
I did verify it (days later) with a AT&T sim and all was good

You have to have root to get the msl code threw the terminal . You did something wrong I can assure you it does work.
I have never used the second method in the sticky.

IFRC they are the same thing; the sensation had 2 alternatives and the one I posted is just one of the two. I would use the one I posted, it requires 2 lines of adb but should not be too complicated.
Sorry for the late reply

Try this, it may work

I got an 8 digit code, but I can't try it yet since I can't get the sim lock screen to come up, trying an ATT sim just doesn't work for some reason, trying a simple and telna sim soon.

I too am unable to get a unlock prompt. I got an 8 digit code using the method 1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Running CM9.1, so that might be why... but not sure.

You both need to be on a Stock Sense ROM to get the unlock prompt. MikTouch will do as well as bullet proof. I did it from MikTouc

[Q] s3 on Pageplus?

I've got the VERIZON GALAXY S3.
Problem is I don't want to pay that high bill with them.
I switched my number to pageplus and I have the MIN to program my phone.
How do I program the s3? Can't get it to connect to cdma ws.
Is it possible now? Thanks.

I was with pp before I switched to tmo for S3. Afaik, 4g phones are not allowed on pageplus. There's no way to activate it on their system.
You could try asking in Kitty forum for answers.

that isn't true, i flashed a droid razr to PP. No problems.

s3 to page plus
if your sim card already has your number you can get to phone programming by dialing
*#22745927 then enable hidden menu.then dial **772

Beigephone.com, the leading flashing company in the US has not yet mastered the GS3. I need to do one but have found zero support for this. If someone with an S3 wants to partner with me to try this, I have CDMA WS and am ready to try. PM me with any info on S3 flashing. And if you HAVE to have a S3 on PagePlus, you should just try a Sprint version for now. This is a simple flash that can be provided by most prepaid stores (that have integrity as a prepaid store.) :cyclops:

cdma ws
wouldn't cdma ws work to flash the sgs3 same as a droid razr

[Q] [K2_PLC, Cricket]Cricket 4.2 MSL thingy is weird?

So I was messing around in the ##3282# settings, and I clicked "Edit Mode". I thought, "Well, let's guess." I inputted six zero's, and to my surprise, it was the correct MSL code. I don't know how this is but now I can edit the stuffs. Also, this phone has Band 25 LTE 0_0 I didn't know that. Can any of you Cricket users verify that this is only me?

MSL Reader (see the play store) gives it to you if you are properly rooted. Its how I retrieved mine. But I know six zeros won't work on K2_CL lol.

Didn't know that I could use that 0_0
So, there's a bunch of stuff I can do now with the PRLs hehehe
Maybe I can flash to T-Mobile, they have a $30 5GB unlimited plan. (Prepaid, and SIM Card)

Educate your self!

I dont know all the specs behind it cause there was tons and tons of info and I kinda spiderwebbed out of control reading it. But the jist I got is this PRL's APN's and all that get more credit then what they are deserved. Yes to have a proper one is beneficial but its more about the codec's the radio signal of the phone and towers your connecting to and the system files in your phone itself that will allow you to do what you need to. I am still piecing things together but I am working on a finalized cricket fix to allow the use of LTE, the use of gsm or cdma and the use of European roms. It has become quit the undertaking but before you jump in and start changing files that were initially fine I would properly educate your self on the pros and cons changing the prl.
As of yet I am pretty sure Tmobile wont flash the phone nor will our phone work on the Tmobile network

Lol I was just going through threads and it's also helpful info for others as well

I have an HTC one SV from Cricket, I like the phone but am not "In love" with it. My problem is this- I just bought the phone then changed providers due to poor service at my address. Since my phone has a SIM card I thought I could switch to AT&T but the phone never accepted the new SIM. AT&T couldn't find out why, Cricket told me their was no unlock code, HTC said it wouldn't work until they ran the date of manufacture and MEID# then all changed.HTC told me to get the msl and I can change the network settings so I I can use GSM instead of CDMA. Any warnings, advice or instructions?? Out of severe stubborn motives, if at all possible I want this HTC on GSM just to prove that I can lol.

Sprint n920p sim unlock

Is the sprint sim unlock on a note 5 or s6 edge that hard to do? I've been searching for a way to do it but have only found those who want to get paid to do it. Plenty of unlock ways for other phone and carriers but sprint seems to have a hold on things.
I called sprint about the unlock code but not having the previous owners name or number I was out of luck. I explained to them that it had been bricked and I had to do a factory reset and lost all that information. After the factory reset it updated itself to nougat 7.

Negative. Both selling and advertising services are clearly forbidden by the Forum Rules. Also forbidden is any discussion about changing IMEI.
