You should try your luck in the GSM section

Moving to Q&A
I have a Rogers Evo, unlocked, go here: http://www.mobifree.ca/
costs $10, just need to provide them your IMEI.
Got mine in a few hours.
*edit
holy necrobump
CellUnlocker worked for me
I have a Rogers Evo 3D too and I got it unlocked through cellunlocker dot net for ~$8. Just as amace04 did, I provided my IMEI and within an hour and a half they sent me the code which it seemed to work without a hitch (haven't had a chance to test the data side of it). I will pass back here and update this, after I test it properly in a few weeks.
As promised I am checking back in. I am in Jamaica using the phone which was unlocked from Rogers. So far I have used it with SIM cards from 2 mobile networks here and everything works perfectly (both voice and data). My only complaint which has nothing to do with phone or unlocking service is that 3G coverage outside of the major cities is sparse.

This worked for me, and it was free. Apparently for GSM (with s-off) models only.
Wish I owned a GSM device when I'm out of the us. Is the GSM model capable of working in the U.S?

Hmmm I thought it was S-OFF because I was rooted, I was tired when I rooted my phone (Did Taxes earlier that night).
I now notice that it S-ON. How do you S-OFF? Do you need a wire (Like I remember flashing the firmware on my Nintendo DS having to physically complete a circuit I suppose enabled write access)?
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-gain-s-off-on-htc-evo-3d-with-revolutionary/
That method doesn't seem to need a wire, but I already have Revolutionary and see no option for S-OFF. It also mentions a beta key, but I never needed one to download Revolutionary, TBH I don't even remember where I got it from.

i unlocked my sensation by rooting and using s-off then sim unlocking. is this ossible on the evo without going to a celshop?
Yes it will work
I have a unlocked Rogers 3D on Telus..they use same network as Bell.
I paid $7.99 for my SIM unlock code...don't know if this is a good price? I got the code, in about 2 hours after I paid.
You do have to find out about the APN's and SMS proxy IP's etc to get data/MMS to work, but Telus has that info posted on there web site...I bet Bell does too, or at least somebody in a store will know, or be willing to let you look at their phone set up.

I got mine unlocked already but when I go into the bootloader there's an option that says "sim lock", so I suppose that you can unlock it after s-off.
I'm thinking of buying an htc evo view on amazon, but I need it to be unlocked, because I'm going to be living in mexico for a while, so I want to make sure that it will work with another network that isn't sprint. I couldn't really find any htc evo views that are unlocked, but this one http://www.amazon.com/HTC-EVO-View-...EMR6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327199558&sr=8-1 says it doesn't require a sprint account. Does this mean I can take it to mexico and get CDMA if the company of the network supports CDMA? It seems that Iusacell is the only company that supports CDMA in Mexico. Has anybody tried to get another network on it?
Sorry if i'm not using the cell phone network terminology correctly, im new to all this 3g, 4g stuff .
Edit: Ok, so i know now that I can unlock it in Mexico. So now my question is, if I buy this, will I not have to have a contract with sprint or anything?
There is no need for you to contact Sprint; I have an "unlocked" view that I use for business on Boost Mobile, and have not had any issues. Enjoy your new device!
Depends where and how you buy it...just read the ad, it will mention if it requires a contract or not. You just missed a one day sale for a no contract View for $230. Should be another one coming in a few weeks if you can wait. Keep an eye out here or on Slickdeals.net hot deals.
Since the View is a CDMA device, it can't be unlocked in the traditional sense that a GSM device can be unlocked. There is nothing to unlock. The only way to get it to work on a different carrier is if the carrier is willing to add it to their system (which most carriers will not do, although I can't speak for any carriers in Mexico), or if you can flash it to a different carrier. Many have successfully flashed it to Boost Mobile in the US like bigriggy63 said, but this isn't an option with most carriers. It's something you'd have to check into locally with the carrier you want to use.
The link you posted says it's with no Sprint contract, so there shouldn't be a contract. The View has been sold in multiple sales over the past few months for $230 - $300 without a Sprint contract. I've had one since the middle of the December, and I don't have, or never have had, Sprint service.
How would I go about unlocking my view for boost?

Dear members,
Hello.
Is it related to WiMAX providers as well?
Locally (Moscow) we have WiMAX provider. I failed to connect using my View.
View is not in their list. HTC MAX (Windows not Android) is in their list.
So let me ask two questions
1. Do I have chance to connect? Is it worth efforts?
2. What kind of information I should check woth local carrier ?
Thanks,

Wanna ask some stupid question, what is unlocked phone? If I buy, still can use in my country?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
My understanding is unlocking a phone only works for GSM phones as they use SIM cards. Unlocking it allows it to be used with other carriers on the GSM network. For a real example, I unlocked my wife's Samsung Captivate on AT&T and she gave it to her brother who was able to use it with T-Mobile. With CDMA phones, you don't unlock them. You have to flash certain things to the phone so it can be used with other CDMA carriers. Example, again, a real one, a guy at my work had an Evo 4G flashed to Metro PCS, however, I don't think he had 4G. To be honest, I think unlocking a phone is easier than flashing one to another carrier.
If anyone can elaborate further, please do.
EDIT: As for use in your country, that is outside my realm of knowledge. Never had to use a phone outside of the USA. Sorry, can't help there. By the way, where are you?
Yes. most other countries use GSM phones. Phones are usually locked to the carrier that sells them. Nowadays its very easy to unlock the sim. Once unlocked you should be able to insert any major carrier's sim card and phone should work just fine.
Unlocking bootloader and rooting phone is different than sim unlock.
They have a new device out, I don't know how well it works because I've never tried it but its out there:
http://www.dhgate.com/universal-sim...-cell/p-ff808081371757e4013726905fd16172.html
Also too, One way to unlock your phone for free in USA (I paid $9.00 for this information a long time ago) is call your phone company. Tell them that you'll be traveling abroad and need to Unlock your phone so you can use it over there.
They will email you the Unlock code for free after you give them your IEMI and serial number.
The method I used to unlock the Samsung Captivate was by rooting the phone and using a free app from the Market to give me the unlock code, which is now the Play Store, of course. All free. No phone calls made. Total of 20 minutes.

I think this is the best method for those who do not want to root. I'm not sure if the GSM Evo 3D is having the same HBOOT 1.5 issue that the CDMA folks are having.

Yeah, I'm over here in the good ol' US of A. I know GSM is more prominent outside of here. GSM tends to have the fastest data speeds, but, CDMA has the best cellular coverage.
So the developer version comes S-Off. But that is an AT&T phone. Not good on T-Mobile frequencies.
HTC Dev just unlocks the bootloader, still S-On.
Do any of you believe there will be a way to get S-Off on our non dev phones??
My last phone was the Sensation, S-Off was possible as long as you didn't use HTC Dev yet, well, back when I did it. I've skipped a couple of generations of HTC phones since then. Are there any indications from some of the more recent HTC's that S-Off is still a possibility without the need of the developer phone??

The ATT developer phone is not S-Off! It is unlocked bootloader and carrier only and no bloatware. You can do that yourself and not pay the extra price. It does have 64gb however but doesn't work on the t-mobile lte bands I believe. S-Off is not necessarily needed with TWRP Dumlock from what I understand.

It stupidly supports LTE on T-Mobile (AWS) frequency but doesn't support HSPA on AWS so no 3G/"4G" if you aren't in a 1900 refarm market. Kind of stupid planning on HTC's part... Especially since voice exclusively goes over AWS (HSPA) in areas that T-Mobile doesn't have 1900 licenses.
Is there really a point to S-OFF anymore? I haven't had an HTC since the Sensation either so I'm not sure about HTC developments, I went to Sammy.

Stupid unless there is a hardware difference between the T-Mobile and ATT radios. I don't think there is, but it is possible. People are assuming it is just firmware that can be flashed with a ROM.
As to S-Off, my last phone was an Amaze, and it required using a wire to short two places together under the battery cover. From what I have read, there are several HTC phones like that. But there is no way to get to those points in a One.

Without S-Off, it seems like the Root System is locked down. AdAway wont stick after reboot. And Busybox isn't able to install its binaries. When I try to convert Busybox as a system app, the phone just reboots. Also, when I try to delete something in the Root System (like the loud T-Mobile bootanimation sound), it causes a reboot also.
My last HTC phone was a G2/DZ and we had s-off via gfree method using command prompt which was very annoying. So hopefully we can get s-off one day. If not, then the next Nexus (5?) will be my next phone in fall/winter. And yes, I will still keep my H1. Its a very nice phone overall.
EDIT: I just read that a custom rom that allows system write will work. I guess stock carrier H1 roms are kinda locked down with system write issues. Will backup my current rom and test one of the International ROMs (even tho I heard about the possible radio/RIL+signal issues).

They used an MSM8260A chip which is an MSM8960 that doesn't support LTE in the T-Mobile S3. No hope for us unfortunately.
We will get soff eventually just wait. It's tooooooo early to be expecting that. Just be glad we have roms and all after the phone being out for only about a month worldwide.
I came from the quickly forgotten amaze and am very surprised over the amount of development this phone already has!

I am on my HTC DNA s-off and the only thing we benefited from for having s-off is when you flash a custom kernel you don't have to fastboot flash the boot.img separately using a cmd prompt. Other than that it wasn't beneficial too much. It also opened the gates to brick your device easily. It will not hender Rom or custom kernel development. And the kernel is what allows you to write/delete system files. So once we see some kernel developments that allows the r/w to the system the issues where changes doesn't stick after reboot will be eliminated.

Yea same for the EVO LTE - S-Off is def convenient and I would do it regardless, but if you were worried about messing up it's not a deal breaker to be s-on.
Seeing that S-OFF text on the bootloader screen does give me a weird warm and fuzzy feeling though

Hey guys, I was considering buying a HTC Evo 3D and a bit confused about this. The things I'd like to know:
1. I've read that there are two types of this phone: CDMA and GSM. Could you guys explain what is the difference between the two?
2. Will the phone work properly if I order it from the US and use it in Hungary, Europe. There is no Verizon or Sprint here.
3. If I buy it and SIM unlock it can I use it here?
4. What is s-off?
5. What is your experience with the phone in general if you have it?
As a note: We can buy phones here too, but they cost too much. I'm not sure if they are CDMA or GSM though.
Thanks in advance guys, and have a nice day!
CDMA uses ESN/MEID which is hard coded into phone.
GSM uses sim cards.
There is more difference but those are the easiest to identify.
S-off is security off, and different from unlocking.
Unlocking allows custom rom and recovery.
s-off allows more, and makes things easier to do, but has greater risk of bricking the phone if you do something wrong.
I love the 3d, best phone.

Thanks for your answer!
Is there a reliable way to identify which phone uses which type? If I'll buy one I'll need to know if it accepts SIM cards.
So S-off is some kind of root, or similar?
Are we talking about the same "unlock"? I meant unlock as SIM unlock, so the phone accepts any kind od SIM card.
Do you know if there's a safe way to SIM unlock the phone, here on XDA? I have some experience with unlocking but I've never done it on an HTC.
We are talking about bootloader, unlock or s-off.
Sim unlock is different.
Also can tell by hboot version. Odd numbered seems to be gsm and even is cdma.

Yeah, I see. But do you know if there's a way tounlock these phones? I've seen some threads here that might me working but I'd like to know if you've used them.
Also a phone with a bad ESN is only blocked at the current carrier, right?

Bad ESN means it CDMA phone and those don't have SIM card slot. If you want to buy it from US search for GSM model. There is a way to SIM unlock every phone, but in most cases you have to pay for it

Thank you for your reply! Knowing this is valuable when buying from the US, yeah. I was looking for a free way to unlock it, through tutorials and such because I can't and wouldn't like to afford paying for it anyway!
I recently had a tough time flashing regional firmware to Samsung phones... When I flashed a Czech one or with a different carrier it didn't have signal. The EVO 3D's firware is not regional, right?
Greetings from Hungary!
US is a specific market and you should think twice before buying a phone from US. There are ways to SIM unlock Evo, but they require s-off. I suggest you do some serious reading before going through with your purchase. I know a guy who bought mint condition Evo 3d from US very cheap and now can only look at it and cry because he got CDMA version which doesn't have SIM card slot

Anything I need to know about S-OFF
A quick look at the forums and stuff tells me that it can be a bit complicated to do on some phones... Is it carrier dependant? Different HBOOTs can be S-OFFed differently?
