Hello guys i have a bro who is in usa and he was using this HTC Sprint mogul 6800 .
And when my bro came to india that is two days ago i noticed his cell phone and he said if i can make it work here that is by unlocking it to some indian network that is Reliance or Tata etc then i can have the phone.
So kindly Help me out here i love that handset and cant let it go....
You guys have always been help so i hope i get helped this time too when i need it the most.
I think by nature CDMA networks do not necessarily have "locked" phones, but more so phones with ESN's that are locked to a specific carrier. I know nothing about carriers in India whatsoever, but you could always call your provider and ask.
I know I read here how one person soldered an RUIM slot on the back of a mogul and may have had it working in India. Let me try to look for one sec...
Read up on this, it has more links at the bottom: Convert 6800 to RUIM
There seems to be a more dedicated forum to your region HERE also. They may have more information than we do here.
Hello ... and thanks for the reply i have already been there and i have unlocked it already and i was not sure if its completly unlocked or not so wanted to have a look at Xda's tutorial as i trust this forum more then anyother . thanks anyways
Uncle Sam has moved me to Germany and I brought my Vibrant along with me. The sales lady at the T-Mobile.de store here lead me to believe that phones with US software will not work on on the cell networks over here minus voice and SMS. Is this true? It seems preposterous to me that data will not work as well.
Thanks.
I assume all you would need to do is unlock it and that's it. There might be data settings to change but I doubt that. Try asking in the regular galaxy s forum too since those users are mostly international and could probably help you.

Unlock your phone (the guide is stickied and bibled in the dev section).
Go to the Deutsche Telekom store, and get the SIM.
You should be all set from that point on.
You just need to unlock it and it will work fine
I live in Bahrain and a week ago I bought Vibrant from US and it's working fine after unlock !
Call T-Mobile for your phone's unlock code. They've always provided it it to me.

You can save yourself a headache and get the unlock code right from your phone - the guide is in the dev section.
Hi people,
Is there an Atrix 4G global version also?
I just ordered an Atrix 4G phone in India through a local, popular newspaper ad by the newspaper's online shop. But now I have several concerns about the same. One of them being, is there even a global version of the Atrix 4G? What if this phone is a rejected device, GSM SIM locked?? Have many other questions, but they are software related...but this is my primary concern..
Can anyone help...
Thanx!
I only think that GSM SIM lock you always can unlock for money through internet. there are many sites with this service.
but if you want to change roms to custom you cann't buy phone from Spanish or Chinese, because you will receive a brick.

The windowsphone.com tracking service will keep looking for the phone, if it comes online, it will email you to tell you where it is, you`ll have to be patient and wait for someone to find it and power it on
Good luck
I originally posted this to WPcentral but no one seems to care... I find it quite compelling and I thought I'd share...
I have read a lot of different forums that The Lumia 920 from Roger has a hard time working with other carriers when unlocked. Specifically, internet Sharing seems to be broken.
Some have speculated that the phone is supposed to "detect" or "read" the settings right off the sim card but all the Rogers phone owner have reported that this is not happening.
I like evidence, not speculation. So I went ahead and downloaded the RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed ROM off nokia's web site using NaviFirm+ 1.7. then I hex-edited the rom itself...
Boy is that stuff interesting. I found a section written in XML called "OEMCustomizationPackage". That sounded too good to be true... so I dug up the xml and found a bunch of interesting settings like custom ring tones, initial tile placement BUT...
I also found this...
<Component ComponentName="ConnectivityCustomizations">
<SettingsGroup>
<Setting Name="ADC path set" Value=""/>
<Setting Name="ADC enabled" Value="0"/>
</SettingsGroup>
Call me crazy but ADC in WP8 parlance stands for "automatic data configuration" and unless I'm dumb as a rock, the setting sure seems to me like it's disabled!!!
Now of course If only there was another line that said <Modified by your carrier to make your life miserable = 1> but sadly there aren't.
So it begs the question... was the setting disabled by Nokia?, Rogers? or worst... Microsoft?
I don't expect I'll have an answer to this but I have a support call in with Nokia that got bumped to Level 2 support... the conversation will get interesting
[Update]
I looked at the OEMCustomizationPackage XML for the ATT firmware and ADC is disabled (tested on RM820_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_nam_usa_100_01_95122)
did the same for a random European firmware... settled on the France firmware (RM821_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_eu_france_267_01_95741 ) and the setting is NOT IN the OEMCustomizationPackage XML
Now I'm not gonna waste any more bandwidth testing other firmwares but this is evidence enough to prove there was a deliberate effort to cripple the North American firmware by ATT and Rogers. I cannot wait to talk to the support rep from Nokia and hear what he has to say... Best case scenario, they let me have a generic Firmware and I'm home free... but most likely, they'll release an app just like they did with the lumia 900. It was called "Nokia Network setup"
[Update]
Hmmm, that's an interesting find! Keep us updated if Nokia comes back to you with anything.
I’m stuck over in the UAE right now. I have a brand new 920 from AT&T that I can’t use because no one can sim unlock them yet. Would it be possible to flash this thing with another ROM and get it sim unlocked so I can use it over here?
Thanks,
Dave
I remember buying the samsung focus and windows breaking the device to change registry settings. This was the same issue that the Focus had...unfortunately i don't remember the explaination that was given but it was Samsung saying that automatic data configuration, for whatever reason, frequently configured the device wrong or just wouldn't work so they disabled the setting. I think it a BS excuse considering they have the registry entry why would you disable it and why wouldn't it work in the first place....just my 2 cents. But, I don't believe it too much to be a conspiracy theory going on lol.
Flashing ROMs normally does not change the status of the SIM lock, so no for you over at UAE.
Considering the OEM customizations: yes, branded phones run the same software as unbranded devices but there might be settings to allow or disallow certain functionality. Also the Apps loaded by default on a hard reset are different (OEM Apps can be included).
So while the update package to get your 920 and my 920 to the Apollo+/Portico Update most likely will include the same binaries that does not mean that you have the same functionality available (some carriers who only operate on 3G for example removed the possibility to switch their devices into 2G only mode). Internet Connection Sharing was another feature that was disabled on some branded devices although drivers, etc. are deployed onto those devices as well.

Thank you!
most carrier branded wp phones have adc turned off since wp7 days. That is nothing new and certainly expected. typically, you can turn it back on once you sim unlocked your phone and you are lucky enough to find network setup app from the manufacturer,
The network setting app is here!!
As an update to my adventures, I did find the Nokia network setup app... it's called "access point". I tried to do a marketplace search but no results... but a guy over at WPCentral just dropped the marketplace link
I'm apparently too new to post outside links so PM me and I'll get you the link...
I just browsed to the link on my phone and was able to install the app. It add an "access point" item to the setting menu just like the Dev ATT phone they handed out prior to launch
My phone is still locked to Rogers so I have no idea if the app will help me overcome the tethering issues once I get there. on Dec 19th my "30 days on contract" are up so the nasty Rogers people will run out of excuse to deny my unlocking so I'll buy the thing and get as far away from this carrier as I can and hopefully I can get functional Internet Sharing going.
To any Canadian who's lucky to have an unlocked 920 with internet tethering problems... can you confirm this is working?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Got the app installed and chose Telus from available access points. Tried turning on connection sharing but I'm getting the same error as before. Is there any other steps to follow?

Wow great news !! Can you confirm a few things for me...
1- Can you confirm you are getting stable and long lasting internet sharing... a lot of people report success but then they write back to report that is stops working...
2- What is your batch number? (mine is 44/2012 it's in the sticker on your box where the IMEI number is )
3- What firmware are you running? (mine is 1232.2109.1242.1001)
4- Did you get the phone unlocked by Rogers or a web site?
Thanks for the feedback! I too want to switch to Telus but with so many users reporting problems with internet sharing, I was getting desperate.

For sjeffrey's sake...
cao0215:did you have to input Telus's APNs, or did the app just pull the data from the SIM card like it's supposed to?
And sjeffrey: please provide your batch number and firmware version so we can document this and try to help you out!

the telus apn i ve already typed into, and i didnt change it. The only thing i open access point, and choose TELUS active, then i got consistent internet sharing, no problem .
Great find! I can confirm this is working on my unlocked Rogers 920 on Bell. I downloaded the app and selected the Bell profile, and changed my apn under cellular to inet.bell.ca. Turned on tethering and worked right away. Thanks again for posting this!
Service: Telus
Unlocked by: Cellunlocker.net
Firmware: .1002
Manufacture week: 46
I had set APN to regular sp.telus.com and set access to point Telus. That didn't work.
Just for the hell of it I switched the manual APN entry to isp.telus.com and switched the access point to Koodoo and back to Telus to force it to refresh.
I was able to turn on tethering but I lost data. So it's basically same behavior as before.
Hopefully I can get tethering to work. I'm jealous some of you are getting it to work and I don't :S

Amazing find! I can confirm that this works for me. Unlocked Rogers Lumia 920 on the Telus network.
Here is the link from the WPC post:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/access-point/ce3895c7-01d0-4daf-a4c3-25c10463942d
edit 1: Never mind, it doesn't work any more.
edit 2: It's hit and miss. Working again a day later after switching from isp.telus.com to sp.telus.com and back.

I created this account just to say thank you! This internet sharing issue has been bugging me for weeks. I can confirm it's working on an unlocked rogers Nokia 920 on Wind. I just installed the access point app, deleted the APN I had manually entered, ran the app and selected Wind as my operator and now everything works including internet sharing.
