I have a Boost Mobile HTC One SV. I was thinking of buying a new phone, but I don't want to buy one of the boost phones. Instead, I want to get a THL octacore phone. Is it possible to buy one of those and then connect it to my boost account so it works with my phone number? Boost says they won't do it and I have to use only the phones listed on their site. I'm hoping there is a way to do it on my own.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Anyone know the answer to this?
Still no answers here. I thought this would eb a quick "yes or no" answer, but I guess not.

Alright, so I bought an Optimus One P500 off someone who claimed it it was unlocked (Original carrier Telus) but when I got home to test it out I found out it wasn't! What a shocker. So the guy I bought it off of is not replying and I can't get my money back. I read on some threads that it's possible to do a "USB Unlocking" (So I can use my phone with other carriers and not actually have to pay someone 20 bucks for a code) however through my search to find how to do this I couldn't find anything. Anyone have any tutorials they can give me? Thanks in advance.
Last few days I've been reading and searching the forum up and down, to find some useful info about how to bypass network lock.... so far I'm even more confused than I was before.
The problem: my phone is locked to specific network and doesn't work with sim card from another provider. Is it possible to unlock it so I can use it on other networks?
Is it solvable? Does rooting help?
I've read a few threads about s-off, is that the thing I need ?
Thanks to the guys willing to help.
This might help?

Usually you can call your network provider and get an unlock code. Root and s off not related. S off not possible at the moment anyways.

They don't want to help me, because they want to force me to use their network sim while im out of my county, but roaming is way too expensive and cant afford it atm
Just ask around your area where you live and you'll find someone to sim unlock your phone (if not then try local market) or you could even buy the unlock code and do it yourself

guys, buying code is probably the last thing I'll do...
First of all I'm new in android but I'm curious more than enough, and I want to learn things... It would be great if senior or more experienced members share their thoughts on what's right and what's wrong and eventually save me a lot of time and nerves. It's funny how there are so few threads about unlocking network ? Perhaps because it's the fastest way to make good money for some ppl ?
I do have experience in maintenance of Linux systems, but I have no previous experience in rooting/unlocking or what so ever related to smart phones.
So ..... It would be great if any senior/experienced members shared their knowledge/experience on this subject (how to unlock phone so it can be used on different providers.)
As far as I can see Hasoon2000 AIO kit makes rooting as simple as it can get.... but will that remove network lock? I don't need to install any other access privileged apps, demanding games.....
ahhhhmmm..... :

Rooting doesn't SIM unlock the phone. It's not related to it at all.

I already told you that. There are tools for other devices, but not ours. The network should give the code, follow up with them, otherwise buy a code.

Fracking network provider. They say they will void any warranty if I use any unlocking code.... this is turning into nightmare.....
This is the last time I'll put my signature on any of their papers for sure....
Anyway frack them, any one can suggest me good, working online unlocking service that really works?
I think someone unlocked successfully using unlock-now.net

You can get the S58Data cleared via JTAG, that means your phone should be sim/network unlocked.
But you have to find some shop/person to have such a JTAG box...

It's Unlocked as you suggested, every thing works as it should. Thank you very much Sir!
btw. For all sin souls who bought phone from !!! carrier - VIP country - Macedonia !!!, avoid buying codes online, they are wrong, VIP operator has replaced original HTC codes with their own codes, which you can't have (they won't give them to you) ....
Thanks to all other guys for suggestions.
Glad you got it sorted out
Thanks for getting back to us, will help others. Network operators getting a bit uppity these days.
Hello.
I have registered to this forum to try to find a solution for my problem. I've received HTC One X+ as a gift, but it's sim locked to AT&T. I'm not US resident so I can't use them as a carrier. Yesterday I've called them and they told me that they don't have a code for that particular device. I'm asking for help not, because I haven't found ways. I'm asking for help because since AT&T says that they don't have a code, will the guys from sites that I'll pay to have a code. And does anyone knows free working method for sim unlocking?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the help. Today I purchased a code, but when I re-inserted the sim card, it didn't ask for it. I can use the phone as a normal device, but I still have AT&T branding (not sure if the code would've helped with that) and also unused code... This is really strange to me, since last week it asked for an unlocking code and now it isn't. I'm talking about same sim card... Is there a way to enter the code that I got or it's useless now?
If your att phone is already working on t mobile then your code worked and your phone is SIM unlocked

Again, thanks for the help. And one more question (sorry about it, I am very new in this). Is there a way to "debrand"it and get clean HTC android with Sense skin? I know many of you don't like it, but at the moment I like it very much, even though I haven't tried anything else
What do you mean debrand it? It already come with HTC sense, no need to install anything.
Well, I don't know how big is Android 4.1.1, but when I got it out of the box it was with 11GB taken memory. There is some bloatware from AT&T and also an AT&T splash screen (with which I can live) Also (I don't have idea if this is something) if there is update for HOX+ from 4.1.1 at the moment I'm connected to AT&T servers and I have to wait for them to release it. I'm not US citizen (don't know if it matters) but I wish if there is a way to find some other way to get official android update for my device.

Root and uninstall all the bloatware. I would go install a better Rom if I were you. AT&T type things are completely removed then. May I suggest Blackout Mongoose.

Hello,
I'm trying to find the cheapest rootable phone out there, something I can change mac or IMEI address... don't care about specs. I need it for a networking project. But I need to be able to use Playstore to download apps... I also don't care if it's a prepaid phone.
I'd greatly appreciate if anyone can suggest me anything.
Thank you

Does it matter if it's old? Just find some used Galaxy Nexus or S2 or something off of Swappa. If you need a more up-to-date Android version, even those old phones should have custom ROMs that are fairly up to date.
IMEI is not an address, it's a serial number used by companies to know if a device is stolen, lost, or blocked due to insurance claims/fraud or broken contracts.
