Hi all,
I finally purchased the Telus Hero GSM Quad Band from Canada and its on its way to India thru FedEx. Bought the Hero without contract for 599$. Does this mean it is unlocked?
Since I have bought it now, what is my next job?
1. Unlock it by purchasing a unlock code.
2. Once unlocked, can I use it as it is? or it is mandatory to upgrade or downgrade the ROM?
3. Will post some more query when it comes to my mind.
Note: Did a search and it seems all threads were stopped answering from last November. So, started a new thread.
Expecting replies, since I do not want to keep Hero in hand as a dummy piece without knowing wat to do.

you will have to unlock it... then it will work when you pop a registered sim card in..(if the bands are correct) but im guessing you checked that already
Thnx for replying..now I am sure I have to unlock. but which website? Have waded in here and most vote goes to http://hero.unlock-now.com/sim-unlock-HTC-Hero/
should I get one from them?
What about my second query? Is it mandatory to downgrade/upgrade my ROM?
oh sorry forgot about that... im honestly not sure about which site to use to unlock sorry, id go with one that i know people have gotn there money back from though...
and no it is not mandatory to do anything except unlock to use your phone, only install a rom if you want to
thnx a bunch m8..I am relieved now. I also believe that most ppl here who have unlocked their hero has used the link I have posted. Some have got their money refunded too if it doesnt work. Waiting for my package to arrive to knw the IMEI and start unlocking. Fingers crossed.
Guys, if you trust some other site who provides unlock codes, please suggest.

As for websites to unlock, I did some searching back in November when I got my Telus Hero. I ended up using http://www.unlock-hero.com/, as it seemed to be the most popular at the time. I had no problems with them and had my unlock code within 20 minutes. It's also well priced.
thnx for the sugg m8..need more and finally need to decide on one.
I am currently bidding on one on ebay, and the seller got it from an upgrade from O2 so he doesnt know if its locked or not. Is there any possibility I get it and cannot use it with my network?
Hi,
The O2 phones are normally not locked. (And you could flash an unbranded firmware also)

o2 uk razr's are all simfree
Cut this post with my shiny RAZR XT910 using XDA Premium
first of all thank you for your reply guys. I actually bought it and the seller sent to me a message mentioning that it IS locked but I can unlock it using a website ( .network-unlock-codes.
So, i would like to ask you, if this guy is really knowing what he is saying or you know better and it IS NOT unlocked.

i don't think that 02's RAZR is locked. my phone is from O2, i inserted my vodafone card directly after getting it out of the box
so first of all:
don't go to the site
just test another card
if not working test another ROM
i wouldn't believe in that selling guy

You mean not to believe him on what he said about the phone being locked OR that is maybe a fraud? (his feedback on ebay is quite good though!).
Any way, I have not paid him yet cause I am waiting to link my new card to my paypal account. How easy is it to put another ROM on this? (never done it in the past)
I have an O2 RAZR and can confirm that it is not locked.
I am gonna raise the bid
3D version of temple run has finally been released and its called 'Fred Runner'
Apple Fanboys are drinking that Hateraid
well, bad news for me. It is asking me for SIM network unlock PIN what should I do now/?
So my question is..how can I bypass this? I am a complete noob. Do I need to flash another rom? What is the procedure? Thank you guys in advance!
i just bought a used atrix off CL yesterday , im trying to get it unlocked so i can use tmobile.
already tried russian motofan forum for unlock code, no luck there.
i called ATT yesterday, the lady told me to use the att.com/deviceunlock form . ive put in the request, still saying its pending.
now i just bought the unlock from here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/320884234263?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 . still waiting for them to send it to me, i dont know if they can find it.
i was wondering which online vendor or service yall used to unlock carrier
thanks

Mine was unlocked by AT&T. Just a quick call to their customer support, answer a few questions, give the IMEI, wait a bit, and they gave me the code. They even wanted to give me instructions on how to use the code, but I was way ahead of them on that.

Oh yeah, well... Sometimes you have to wiggle your way out a little. Say you got the phone as a gift from a relative and you don't know their number. Or something like that. They might refuse to give you the code anyway, but it's worth a shot.

Call AT&T again, you will get a different rep and a different attitude every time. Chances are that one of them will just give you the code. I got lucky and my second call ended in success. :good:
I payed 99 cents for my unlock code on ebay. I got it in a few hours. Worked just fine....
i got the code from the ebay seller, $4 is not that big of deal , i just didnt wanna bid for this one
thanks for the input

I have had a mb860 in the past that i really liked but gave it to my daughter. I recently bought another online from a lady that was cheap and in great shape. I've had it for two weeks now and still cant use it. It was an at&t phone the same as my old one that i unlocked the very first time with no problem but this one is a huge problem. I have paid three different sites that i've used before to get the code to unlock it so i can use it on my new carrier like my old one. All three sites gave me the same codes but it would not accept it and now it tells me phone is subsidy locked. Any reason why it wouldnt accept the codes and can i still unlock it somehow or is it locked to at&t forever?
Take a look at this thread, as people with the same issue got it done.

Those threads are very promising but im not sure how to change radio on this phone. i need to know how dot do it and i need the US at&t radio file and how to. I am new to all this so need as much help as possible and need it fast. Thank you for the help and would love some more.
Hello everyone,
So far I have tried the following to get an unlock code. But no luck so far. They are saying it's not available yet. I am new to android and I got the phone from Telus last week. I need help!

ebay item 221163388906
Phone: HTC ONE X+
Carrier: TELUS
Country: CANADA
Also, please point me to another option like rooting my phone or something? or any other unlock sites.
Thanks
Whats up with the official site ?
htcdev ?
I have been reading this forum all afternoon and I haven't found a guide to root and unlock my telus HTC ONE X+. Is there a guide by hanson2000? Also there seems to be an issue with battery % showing 66%. Is that right? Some direction will be really helpful.

Last I had heard you could not unlock this phone. There is a rumor that hanson2000 can do it but for a price. The battery showing 66% is a known issue in recover.
*edit* I assume you are talking about carrier unlock and not the bootloader as it sounds like you have TWRP installed already.
The Telus HOX+ can be rooted and the bootloader can be unlocked, this will allow you to flash a custom recovery and rom. The Telus and ATT versions are identical with minor cosmetic differences so most, if not all things for ATT should work for the Telus version. If you want to unlock the bootloader to root and flash custom roms use hansons toolkit to unlock your bootloader then flash the ATT version of TWRP (all others will muck your phone up). The 66% issue your talking about is that the TWRP recovery always shows 66% battery left so just be aware of your battery life when your using it as i think it is also connected to an issue with it not being able to charge or something, just don't be dumb and try to flash stuff with 15% battery...
As far as SIM unlocks go for Telus, I've read that it can be done. Your best bet for this would be searching through the forums for someone who has done it or contacting hanson as he can possibly find you and unlock code.
I flashed the intl version on my phone and it screwed it up. (silly Americans Canada isn't part of America lol)
I ended up flashing a custom rom after fixing my problems. I didn't want custom but I'm stuck with it now as there are no ruus for us. Anyways I'm using elegancia on Telus with no problems.

ok. GOOD NEWS. i finally got an unlock code. I have been trying many sites. I was desperate.
This seem to worked: http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/htc/HTC-One-X-plus-network-unlocking/
Thanks to unlock.canadagsm.ca for providing me unlock code and it worked.
Good news for you. Mine on AT&T can still not currently be sim unlocked. Tried mobilunlocked.co.uk and cellunlocker.net and neither could do it. Sent a pm to hansoon and got no reply so either he can't do it or just isn't interested. Either way, looks like I'm stuck for the time being -_-

not sure about AT&T but someone must have the codes. I had to keep trying. I spent about $80 but i got refund for those who couldn't provided me an unlock code. Total cost was $29. But it's so worth it. I was getting very worried.

Well, I'm not an AT&T customer so that won't work for me. I did, however, have the nice fellow I bought it from contact AT&T and, according to him, they told him they wouldn't give him the code until his contract expired 0_o. Not sure if that's true or if he was pulling my leg, but either way, I'm not able to get the code from them as a non-customer.

Yeah, I'm still trying to find someone who has a good code. I tried another place just this morning and am currently waiting to see if it's in their database. I know it will turn up eventually, it's just the waiting game that's killing me heh.

I signed into my at&t account, went to my phone/device, manage my phone/device and the option for unblocking sim card is there. gives me a 8 digit PUK code.
I've been a (very good) customer for years. I do international travel a few times a year.
I've bought around 120$ worth of unlocking codes, none was able to do it except unlock canada gsm. I highly recommand them. It took 3days, but it came in.

Thank you. Apparently I am eligible to. I recommend every at&t customer check this. Assuming you already have another carriers SIM (I do not just considering selling the phone).
Much thanks! Glad I happened to see this today. I was able to get the PUK code for my HTC One X+ too.
I'm on a family plan w/ 3 people including myself and we've been with AT&T for a long time.
Wasn't really expecting to find it, since I've never travelled out of the country and we've never requested an unlock code before, but, sure enough, it was there.
So thanks for this info! My sister is living in London so this will come in very handy when I go to visit her.
I can't actually unlock the phone without putting a non-ATT Sim card in there can I?
I copied the info down regardless, in case they change their mind or something.

Yes...you will need another sim to use the code.
I realize this is extremely unlikely, but could an AT&T customer enter the IMEI number from a Telus version of the phone, in the AT&T unlock page and get an unlock code? Or is it only for the specific handset a specific customer bought through AT&T?
I just thought perhaps the system accesses a data base and can lookup the unlock code for any IMEI number.
