Hey guys. I searched around and didn't find a similar thread.
I have a Nexus 5 with Rogers wireless in Canada. They claim to be able to disable the phone in the event of theft to stop it from being used with any carrier.
I was wondering if anyone has any technical details on this process. If I have the phone unlocked and rooted would there be anyway around this lock out?
Any details would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys - I'm pretty new on this xda forum and was just wondering if the above "subject" line is possible??? I have searched online and have found no source. I know Verizon uses CDMA network whereas Tmobile uses GSM but maybe if a device can be unlocked that it'll make this possible? I greatly appreciate a feedback. Thanks!
There's no way. You answered your own question in the original post. If you unlock it you can only use it with GSM based carriers.

Look at it this way, atleast you didn't drop 300 bucks on an OpT

this can techncialy not work as the Optimus T only comes with the GSM or CDMA chip unlike the new iPhone which has both included.
The Optimus T is not a bad entry phone but considering that Android 4 is out and I am not sure if the Optimus will ever have it maybe look for a different more modern cheap phone to run Android on T Mobiles cheap prepaid plans
Hey guys my biggest question is does the s4 come already gsm unlocked. Cause my plan was to buy it outright and put a straight talk sim in it and be good. I'm very new to this system coming from sprint. A little tutoring would be awesome. Thanks

So I bought a virgin mobile s2. It is still activated and I have no way to access the account. Also if I call people it gives an error 16. Is there any way at all to fix this or will I just have to sell it as it? Thanks
This thread is on the HTC forums but the issues detailed in it sound very similar.....have a look and maybe follow the advice....but (obviously) contact *your* service provider.....might help...

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone can answer this question for me. I have a sprint note 3 & I want to take it with me on vacation with me overseas to London. The thing is sprint told me they would not unlock it for unless I have been a customer for 90 days. Is there any other way I can get the phone unlocked? I really wanted to have my phone for the gps and Google maps. I hope someone can help me I really appreciate it.

Even if you get Sprint to unlock the phone, which they should, using the phone with another sim will not work currently without some hacking. The phone part might work but you need to modify some files for the data to work. I just went through this in Barbados and Spain. I got it working but when I got back I had to restore everything I did to get to phone working on sprint again. The phone needs the software fixed by Sprint. To unlock the phone try the international Sprint web chat.
