need help unlocking my sprint touch pro so that i can use it on verizon i tried to go through ppcgeeks but it says i dont have access to do it can someone please help me i am somewhat of a nube but i really hate this pos phone i have from verizon
Well it's a VERY dangerous thing to do and can brick your device so i suggest you get insurance. Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498386. Also, it's a good idea to get an account on ppcgeeks because alot of stuff on xda developers points to their.
I've used the search thread tool and cann't get anything for my situation. Ok, here goes.I need help unlocking my brother's (locked to Sprint) Motorola Photon 4g (MB855) unlocked.The contract is in the midst of being cancelled. Here are my circumstances, I am not using the bootloader method, and for some reason, When i turn on the phone with a supposed "unaccepted SIM", the "enter subsidy code" menu does not pop up. I've already tried 2 different simcards, a simple mobile sim and a verizon sim. It is acting like it already can accept the sim, but, I know its locked because I program a simple mobile APN and it doesnt work, no data, no signal, no network. Could it be because the Mopho is acting as a CDMA when its a GSM phone? I was wondering what the heck i needa do, I already have the unlock code.. I've been trying to look for dialer codes to somehow bring up this hidden menu, or unhide the menus. I can't resort to bootloader method because he does not want anything touched (flashed, etc) period. I am getting anguished and stressed. ANY guidance would be most a apreciated! Thnx so much, from a noob,
Jezz
The radio is locked, you can't use the photon on any u.s. based gsm carrier.

If you do end up unlocking bootloader this thread may be useful for you. It started out promising then sort of dropped off, I have no idea idea if it works I don't have a SIM to use to try it.

Unlocking the bootloader will not allow you to use u.s. based gsm carriers. Currently there is no way to do this. Also, the link two posts up, currently sends the photon into a bootloop, i would not recommend flashing it at this time until more development occurs.

thnak God I haven't flashed yet. The thing i dont understand is why would a company give me a network unlock code if we can do it yet. grr, should i just save it? get my money back? will flashing a aftermarket ROM allow me to reach hidden menus or give me hopes of something? Thnx homie. Wish me luck on breaking the news to my brother, itll surely ruin his valentine's day lol

If you can get your money back, more power to you. Unfortunately, all the flashing in the world right now will not unlock the radio. Flashing a ROM will give you other benefits, such as new features, better battery life, and better performance, but will not allow you to use the phone on any US based gsm carrier.
Break it to him gently, maybe over a candlelight dinner with one of those heart shaped pizzas.
Can anyone please help me to get rid of sim unlock? I have two Xperias locked by Optimus (Portugal). I'm aware of the paid services but the asked price is more than the phone's value... :crying:
If anyone could help I appreciate a lot.
Thanks

If the phone is paid off, you can do it yourself in settings. If a balance is owed on the device, it will not be unlocked.
Please someone help me with this. I got my phone from a friend who is with Verizon. He has not used this lgv600 in a while. And gave it to me. He's up to date with his bill.its over the 6 month mark. But for some reason will not unlock this phone from verizon carrier so that I can use my cricket services with it. Can someone help me . I've read all over everywhere and have only found that there is not a firmware to crossflash what ever it is for this carrier. If there is. Can you please send it my way and tell me how. I also don't want to lose money paying someone who can't. Or gives me something that's going to mess it up in any way. Also after I do get it. Will it be updated or will I need to do that afterwards? I have been searching a few years now for this. I love the phone. It's my favorite. I just wish to use it with my cricket services. Thank you for anyone who helps.
