I missed on on a tech4less htc flyer :-( and have found some sprint HTC EVO View 4g, does anyone know if it is possible to unlock these to run on any network?
Also does it come Sprint Branded? or is it just a flyer with a sprint logo on the back? many thanks
you can use on either Sprint or Verizon, but it will be illegal by a unlock method

I know most of us here use the 3VO on Sprint and some on Metro PCS and Cricket. I am going to be traveling to India for a bit and I was wondering if I could flash the 3vo to a local mobile network in India and not have to pay Sprints $2.79 talking fee.
I've googled a bit and found that people have activated their phones on Reliance CDMA but they do not say how they have done it.
So does any one know how to flash to Reliance CDMA ?
what's a 3vo? is that like a car?
Idk doesn't sound like an easy task, do they have gsm over there? Probably be easier that way

You do realize that once flashed to another network won't be able to flash back to Sprint due to their policies.

I will be buying an Unlocked HTC EVO 3D from USA.
I wanted to know if it will work in INDIA with a Vodafone sim.
Will i have any problems with any features of the phone(since the phone is unlocked). And can i upgrade the the software i mean from android 2.2 to anything i want? Will it get locked again after upgrading? Can it get bricked?
I need urgent reply as my sister is coming from the US and she has to order an unlocked phone. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

If it is a GSM EVO 3D and not a CDMA it will work with your sim.
I think it comes with 2.3, but you can always unlocked the bootloader and flash your own roms. Based on your question, I'm guessing you should not due to inexperience.
It should not relock if it unlocked, and any phone can be bricked if you do not know what you are doing.
Thanks a lot!!! I guess i will be buying the evo 3d gsm. P
Don't buy it from XDA member Jaywan
It should work but anyways you can always use the sim unlock method if it doesnt...

I would say make sure it is a generic gsm handset if not you could spend hours on the phone to the USA. Also don't know if it would be possible but try and check the IMEI with your service provider. I have spent many an hour explaining to people over the phone that there handset has no service because it's blacklisted.
Got my Amaze a couple days ago and im loving it! But im reading reports on HTCdev and not having a way to install custom roms by locking the bootloader. I came from a Xperia X10 and loved custom roms i looked through some here and they look even better, but this bummed me out is there any news on this? Im reading reports of work-arounds?
There's nothing we can do about it right now. The HTC Dev only has Amaze 4G - T-Mobile in it's list. I'm worried small networks like wind and mobilicity won't bother giving us that option.. I got mine from mobilicity for $499, I would've gotten it from telus if there wasn't much price difference.. Telus has more chances of getting added to the list..
For now I'm just wondering if anyone has some knowledge on this, can we change the CID (Carrier ID) on our wind, telus or mobilicity phones so that we can trick the htc dev website into thinking that it's a T-Mobile phone? jussayin'
the only way you can do that is by changing ur phone's IMEI but nobody gonna tell you how to do it because they end up in prison.

But what if I do it for a lilll bit of time and change it as soon as i unlock my phones bootloader and then revert it back to it's original IMEI. That shouldn't hurt anyone
the only way to change it to a tmobile cid would require having s-off so no such luck i would say sell the amaze that you have for what you can get or return it it just came out for wind and import a tmobile amaze it has penta band suport so it will do 4g on all the networks up there

Can't return it, got it in a promotion And I don't want to get into the hassle of selling and buying another again cause I sold Galaxy SII to get this phone added 100$ on top of that to get this So I'm outta of luck for now.
Do you think there's any chance there'll be a 2nd method of unlocking the bootloader in the future other than the official HTC method?
If you get the unlock code from Wind/Mobilocity and unlock it for any network you should have no problem selling it for $400+ on eBay or XDA Marketplace and being able to pick up a T-Mobile one unlocked for $420-$450.
I unlocked my Telus amaze even though it's "not supported". Have you tried?

I tried it tonight with the WIND variant of the Amaze 4G no go, like the others I cant return mine either so for the moment we are stuck hoping eventually HTCDev adds our version and mobilicity's to the list of supported devices. I have prodded them through all avenues I can think of who knows maybe if enough of us make a nuisance of ourselves they might take pity on us
One can still root the phone and install the clockworkmod and 3rd party rom.
how? isnt it just a temp root?
Amaze costs me 569 bucks because I bought it full price. That's with taxes, but yeah you could get like 450 bucks if you sell, its practically a new phone

I got my Amaze from a Telus customer for cheap. Used the HTCDev site and unlocked it without issue. Running great with Mobilicity now.
Is getting it unlocked the main issue people are having? Cause I have yet to install custom roms, but from what I can see I shouldn't have any issues?

Same here. Bought from someone on Telus unlocked and using on Mobi. I can install any rom.
I bought the htc amaze wind version from a guy on craigslist and it was already rooted and running energy rom
Edit: FFS, this was a dead topic. Please lock/close/something.
Hello everybody I am from Romania, Europe I want to buy from ebay an htc rezound. I have htc desire hd.
I have one big question , I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I will.
If my rezound is locked on verzion I can make it SIM FREE ( UNLOCK it or something like it I want to use another sim not a verzion one)
Is this possible anyone can help me regarding this problem?
No, The Simcard in the Rezound is only so it can access Verizons LTE 700Mhz Channel.. It does not have a regular GSM radio.
So no you can not use it over seas or on any other network
To bad thx for your quick reply
Any Lte device in America will be incompatible. Maybe an at&t phone will work but you could only get 3g or hspa+.
Lte world phones won't be out for quite a while.

Hi
I have an HTC amaze 4g which was T-mobile phone. If it works on T-mobile, will it automatically work on At&t?
Unlock my phone.

Not automatically--it must be unlocked if it is not already unlocked.
