1. Your friend could probly get it sent to you
2.Clean ESN is that the phone isnt reported lost or stolen.
3. The rezound is now global so im pretty sure that it wil work with a carrier that uses the 2100 radio frequency of the rezound

Well there are many sites that claim they will unlock your phone but i think it already is able to be used without any unlocking since all that needs to be done is go to the network settings and change the settings to GSM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923416
This article states the phone is already unlocked

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

Thanks for the reply! Okay...so I call AT&T and they give me the data info. What do I do with it? Is it something where they tell you how to change it?

NO, you cannot access the AT&T high speed network with a T-Mobile HD2. The frequencies are different, and it is a matter of hardware, not software or firmware. It is built into the device.
If you install a radio from AT&T or a Non-US HD2 it will brick the phone.
The other responder is saying that if you unlock your phone you can use it with AT&T, which is true - but only at EDGE network speeds.

I am not sure if they are called tbe same thing in Windows Mobile as Andriod but what member MartyLK is referring to is called APN settings in Andriod. These are the settings that tell the phone how to access the carriers network.

Member stevedebi is totally correct here you will only get GPRS and Edge. Hec is also correct if you flash a radio be it just a radio flash or a rom that flashes another radio along with the rom. If it is not compatible with the T-Mobile US HD2 then you will brick youre HD2. Once bricked you may or may not be able to save your HD2 with JTAG. Just making sure you are informed. Also you might want to go read member samsamuel's response to this question, click here and read post number two.
Edite: Go to this thread "Unlocked HTC HD2 AT&T MediaNET/MMS Settings". This is a thread on how to get your HD2 up and running on the AT&T network. It is not a thread on how to unlock hour HD2 to use with other carriers.
There is an Australian cellular company called "Telus" that has the same radio frequencies as AT&T and can run full 3g signals. They sold the HD2 but unfortunately they are very hard to find these days now that the phone is no longer a hot seller.
I purchased my droid razr XT912 which may have a bad esn from ebay and got my number programmed with reliance cdma and am using it simless (non omh), calls/evdo/sms and all work well.
i hv put a blank sim card which does help show verizon wireless as service provider on lock screen as without sim it always showed no sim inside.
my question is if I will get OTA uodate to ICS or do i need to follow the other methods posted here.

Whether a phone is activated with service or not, theoretically you should get OTA updates. I've had phones in the past that did not have a sim card, as soon as I connected wifi, it would prompt to update.
I flash bad ESN phones to Cricket and they still get OTAs.
Tappin the talk
thank you for the positive feedback, no signs of OTA yet but i'll wait

I am using on reliance CDMA with OTA ICS and never faced any issue. Works on gsm as well after update.

I'll probably buy a DNA this weekend or next week. The only thing stopping me are it's battery life and lack of SD slot (vs. S3 right now). I also want to flash the phone to PagePlus but there are NO guides on this. I have flashed my Rezound to PagePlus though so I have the necessary PRL files. My question is though, to manually flash the phone to P+ so call, text, mms and 3G work, would my steps really be as simple as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45181878&postcount=2
Also, could I just follow Nevell's guide on flashing the S3 using the DNA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40464646)?
Thanks guys!
Bump.
So my first post was seriously flawed as I was basing this off of a Samsung Device (but HTC devices also vary too).
Would I be able to utilize the Rezound tutorial for PagePlus at all (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900163)? I've been looking around at everything but I haven't come up with anything yet.
I know there are users who've flashed their DNA's to PagePlus and have gotten text, calling, and 3G to work (don't know about MMS, but I can do this myself). Also would I need a blank 4G LTE VZW SIM card? Or would I be fine without it as the DNA is natively Verizon-based (so I wouldn't need a 3G donor phone)? For my Rezound I only need a SIM card (it's a GSM one) in it to get 3G / MMS to work.
Any help guys?
Answers for DNA prepay flash. Dod u ever flash ur dna to prepay im in sam situation need to flash to prepay but cant find any info. Any help please would ne appreciated. Thanx.

No. I did order the phone and it should come next week. I'll just flash the phone myself. I figure it can't be as hard as the Rezound was for me the first time (granted, my Rez had some serious hardware issues).
I'll write a guide for PagePlus when I fully flash my phone. The only issue I would have is getting 3G to work. I am confident that I can get MMS to work though without the need for GoSMS or any of that (depending on the ROM).
I'll post it next week or the week after.
flash to prepay
hay bro iv been looking into it my self the DNA is an unlocked phone for cmda or for gsm so instead of flashing to page pluse just buy the $10 sim kit and bam there it is. ill be doing this this weekend my self so ill post again on it when i do it but there should only be miner setting changes that need to be done after the sim is in and activated HTC DNA is UNLOCKED.
I actually just flashed my DNA to PagePlus successfully today. I only bought a Verizon Micro SIM card for $5. I'll write up a guide tomorrow.

Has anyone found a reliable way to sim unlock the sprint version of this phone yet? I been looking into the threads on XDA and google, doesn't seem like theres a way yet?
Also does anyone know if i'd be able to use this phone on gsm carriers in canada after unlocking?
Thanks for future replies!!
http://www.htcunlockingservice.com/htc-phone-unlock-network/CDMA-EVDO-REV-A--USA--htc-one-m9.htm.htm i found this site for cdma devices, has anyone tried this site b4?
So far none of the methods used for m7 and m8 work. Trying to gather info and see. Any old hand willing to lend some help?
I'm confused, I thought this was a global phone and thus I would be able to pop in a sim from another country and have it work automatically? Either that or be able to get an unlock code directly from sprint. Was I wrong by assuming this? : I'm going out of country in two weeks and more than likely am screwed if this is the case D:
Im not sure but I think this may work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...guide-sim-unlock-lollipop-htc-one-m8-t3074469
Just tell me every details you get
Even if you did find a way to simunlock it it wouldn't do you much good as the Sprint M9 lacks the radio frequencies required to work on most other domestic carriers:
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...rock-out-with-their-flagships-for-the-season/
Second, the One M9 was not tested, thus is not authorized for domestic GSM/W-CDMA bands. Rabid phone unlockers under the new Sprint domestic unlocking policy, consider yourselves forewarned.

Comfirm, not work this method. Nothing happen when I touch Start button
when i try to flash the files from the instructions twrp just restarts. anyone knows why this is happening? and how to fix it
I bought an HTC One M9 that was supposed to be unbranded and unlocked and turned out to be a Sprint locked phone.
The guy who sold it to me was able to get the unlock codes.. but I am outside the US and trying to unlock the phone requests an update (i assume from the carrier).
But as I am outside of the US i have no link to the carrier..
Is there anyway to force the sim unlock so i can enter the code?
When I put in the sim, it says SIMLock enabled contact customer service.
Sim Unlock Sprint HTC One M9 outside the US?!
Trying to sim unlock the Sprint HTC One M9 variant. I've managed to unlock the bootloader and root the device but now I'm stuck with the next step. I live outside the US so Sprint cant help me and the phone hasn't been activated on Sprint. I was hoping i could sim unlock this the same way I did with my M7 but no luck? Help anyone?
Okay, I have a question. I have a Sprint HTC One M9, and I want to go to the T-Mobile store tomorrow and get a T-Mobile SIM for it. I'm not allowed to post a link to the page I'm referencing (under 10 posts), but according to Sprint's page "FAQs about Unlocking Your Sprint Device":
Under the second bold question, where it says "Will Sprint notify me when my device is eligible to be unlocked/has been unlocked?": It says all DSU-capable devices are automatically unlocked. This means that I should be able to go to T-Mobile tomorrow and get the SIM card and just put it in the phone for it to work, correct?
Sorry for the noob question. Definitely appreciate any help.

Nope it's still going to be locked. I bought my phone outright from HTC and spent hours trying to call Sprint (both regular and international support) and get it domestically unlocked, and all they give me is the run around and my MSL. They keep saying the new provider can use the MSL to reprogram the phone to make it work, which I believe is what happens when you flash to a prepaid CDMA carrier, not for GSM.
I kept arguing (with the call center manager) and went over the terms on the Sprint website to no avail. They'll unlock the SIM for international use no problem, but domestically, they will say it's impossible.
I've only heard of 1 other person from the Sprint forums getting the DSU unlock on the M9 and it was a pain for him as well. I pretty much gave up. Not worth the hassle. If you get yours domestically unlocked, please let me know and I may try again.

as I know this is international unlock. so when you will arrive to your country you will need just local sim card and it will work well if the phone was unlocked correctly before
