Carrier unlock? It already is. Buddy is using simple mobile with his.

Um.. simple mobile resells t mobile service. So, Buddy is able to use a t mobile branded phone on simple with (probably) no problem. If, however, Buddy were to take this same L9 to AT&T without ACTUALLY unlocking it first, he'd find that his phone was not carrier unlocked and he couldn't use it on AT&T yet. But, saddened though Buddy may be, he could unlock the L9 if he wanted to and then use it on any US gsm carrier.
OP: the L9 is not an unlocked phone. It must be unlocked by a user after it is shipped. I have an unlocked L9 because I unlocked it myself with at mobile unlock code.
This I did not know. My sgs4g had to be unlocked first to use simple mobile. Since just popping the simple Sim in the 769 worked, I assumed it was already unlocked,

Yeah, I don't know exactly why it works like that with simple mobile, and I've only heard it second hand, but I assume it's because simple mo is essentially T-Mobile (at least network wise.) But, as far as the L9 goes, it is not a device that is shipped unlocked for other carriers (with the exception of T-Mobile resellers.)
How do you enter the subsidy/carrier unlock code?
Normally I just pop in another carrier's SIM, in this case AT&T and the phone will come up with a requester box asking for the code.
This phone doesn't do that, at least mine doesn't. It boots normally, but the signal bars are gray and has a red X. In the lock screen where it normally show the carrier name, it says "Network Locked"...
Is there another way to trigger the request for the code via app, menu, settings or dialer code?
EDIT: FOUND IT 2945#*769#
Right now i am on a 2 year contract with verizon, i know contracts sucks, imma get my next phone with virgin mobile when my contract ends. Would S-OFF turn my phone unlocked or would it void my contract?

DNA is already unlocked for GSM use.
If by "unlock" you mean carrier unlocking, then no. If its bootloader unlock you mean, then yes. This doesn't void your contract, but it does void your warranty and there is risk of bricking your phone.

I am very interested in purchasing this tablet rooted. I need to work on Sprint's network. Will rooting affect its Sprint network programming (meaning would I be able to put the device on Sprint's network)? Thank you.
No just rooting your view won't effect any of that. You should be fine.

Photon Q. and or Note 3
Bought the phone from a guy on the train. Really doubt I will be able to get it UCCI unlocked...
Hey! I lost my phone on the train! Just kidding. :sly:

I did notice that the phone was activated on 12/25/2013 so chances are I wont be able to do the unlock?
I am waiting for sprint to let ting.com activate my note and let them unlock it.

yeah but its been your phone since new right? This one I bought from another owner adn dont plan on using it with sprint
Idk if it can be unlocked for domestic use. Instead of taking the chance, buy a phone that's specifically meant for your carrier. You'll get maximum performance. I think you'd regret it if you got a sprint phone hoping it would work on tmo, no matter how sweet the "deal".
Sprint wont unlock it for international use.
So its up for sale on ebay
Ya seems sprint are being very bad pricks about unlocking these phones... They have the worst customer service I have ever talked to . I am a pc tech and have to be on hold all the time. And sprint by far take the cake on customer service
T-Mobile uses GSM still right? So even if it was Un lockable the phone would only work on a CDMA network.

It was a joke. And Bell South/Cincinnati Bell all the other Bell's were AT&T. Cingular had no part of AT&T until AT&T bought em up. I had to sell against all of them for Sprint, so I knew all about that. Would be nice to work for Cingular back then before the buy-out. Their sales reps were making $60 commission per line on a new contract. $30 on an upgrade. Most we ever made was in the month of December $12 for a new line, $7 upgrade. Made quite a bit when one of the first Sanyo flip camera phones came out. Think I sold 35 in one day working @ a mall kiosk.
Feel bad for the sales guys who had to feed their family on commission checks bc all of the commissioned sales reps were eventually done away with. The race was over and the American dream, you could argue, went away with it...
Ahh, satire. That's how life was back around the turn of the century. Gimme a break, I'm old!
I know someone was working on internationally unlocking the device without sprint. Doesnt look like they got it yet though.

I doubt internationally unlocking is possible, due to frequency issues as far as I know.

No LTE no matter what you do, the device is CDMA period! You can not change that, so yes, you can unlock, but chances are you will get 3g only!
Sorry...

If I unlocked bootloader on AT&T does it become equivalent to Dev Edition M8 hardware wise? (I know that they come in different software flavors).
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I'm just trying to reason why will anyone want to buy a developer edition?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
The only benefits in buying a dev edition is:
No carrier branding
No preloaded carrier apps
Sim free
Bootloader already unlocked
Faster updates with Sense
But if you unlock your AT&T bootloader and flash a international rom you'll have the same device with no more AT&T apps and settings.
Plus with root you can always flash the latest leaks from any variant

So there is nothing s-on or s-off kinda junk limitations? We get fully unlocked bootloader? I'm really happy with this phone in that case!
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
If I'm correct both devices are S-On.. One just has a bootloader unlocked from the factory. And once we get S-Off then it wouldn't matter what rom or RUU you use. You'll be able to SuperCID and do much more

If you don't have a tethering plan, tethering works out of the box on the unlocked and developer models. Then there's the AT&T bloat you can't remove without S-Off.
Other than that, they're pretty much the same and I'm happy with my bootloader unlocked AT&T model, though I would really like to get tethering working.

Two more to add to this list.
6. Tethering works
7. Full warranty
If you unlock the bootloader on any other phone, you void your warranty. With the developer edition, your warranty is maintained.
Its worth it to note that there is an S-OFF tool now.

When you unlock your bootloader you void your warranty. We can do whatever we want to our devices and still be covered under HTC Manufacturer Warranty. You Bork your phone you have to find a way to fix it.
Tethering works out the box without being detected as well.
I always find a unbranded version a advantage over a carrier version.

S off your device and than supercid. When all the RUU are released you can flash any of them. Right now we have a GPE conversion. Besides that we can flash any rom we want. Be careful and always remember to read if it is compatible with your model.

My credit card covers my phone warranty for two years as long as I purchased the phone via it. So I'm covered. If something happens, all I gotta do is take a brick and bash my phone with it, my credit card will cover hardware damages as well. Lol.
There are ways around everything, you just need to know it. Either way, I've never been scared to lose crappy warranties just because I felt the need to unlock the phone lol.

Nope, but jealousy of ignorant people is priceless lol.
I think the biggest fraud is from HTC to void warranty on unlocking bootloader. I'm just having myself covered with my resources.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Unlocking boot loader MAY void your warranty. In the USA and Europe it will not(unless they can prove 100% that you caused the issue) due to consumer protection laws. Varies by country.
