Hello,
I have a Photon Mb855 30/11 Phone and there is so much information I was hoping some one could steer me on where to go.
I want to be able to unlock the sim card ort radio not sure exactly so I can just go buy some pre paid sim cards to use in this phone like tracphone in particular. Thanks

S'up guys, just won my boss's X10, its locked on Rogers and I already own 2 Android based phones.
I'd like to know if there is a way to use it as a media player/web browser (my son would love to play with this one!) without the sim card or without paying for an unlock code??
I heard of te "bootloader bypass", can this be a solution for me??
Well, can't you remove SIM card and turn it on?
No it wont work that way. i had rogers locked x10. it will show u imergency dial pad only. u need unlocked phone as per i know.
Search the market for wosim. Will do exactly what u want

My unbranded and SIM locked Xperia X8 works without SIM card. Maybe Rogers' branding disables functionality without SIM? Try flashing generic firmware.
Ok, wosim...... all writen in chinese.......
For flashing generic OS, dont I need access to the phone first???
buy a sim card and just don't set it up.....
buying a rogers sim is more expensive that unlocking codes.........??

Unless it changed by a new method, you need a SIM card from another network to unlock it anyways no? Get one on eBay from AT&T for a dollar if you want to unlock it.
Wosim worked like a charm, thx kieronw3
Sim cards are only like 5 or ten bucks

So are unlock codes, which I will probably buy in the next week or 2, but its still nice to be able to use this baby, without having to spend anything.
Thx alot for all your help!
So I have a sim unlock code I paid for, but there doesn't seem anyway to input the code unless there's a non ATT simcard already in the phone???? Even my old Nokia e71x didn't have this limitation.... If anyone else has done this in the US, can you please share how you went about unlocking your atrix?
I havent SIM unlocked my Atrix, but couldnt you just pick up a T-Mobile pay as you go sim card and use that? They're only $7.

I agree....or just borrow someone's sim for a min...
I suppose I could buy the sim for another $7, but that's really inconvenient.
Will the sim cards sold by net10 work in the HTC One, its a verizon phone but not using verizon anymore, And if so, will I need to be unlocked?
Or does anyone have another way to get my phone working again without a contract or an expensive monthly bill, im all ears, thanks.

Yes, it'll work. The phone is already unlocked.
So AT&T provided me with the unlock code but it isn't very easy to come by a nano sim from another carrier. Can it be done without the sim card installed at all?

Not that I am aware.
Maybe go to another carrier's store, and ask to use one of their SIMs for a couple minutes? If you tell them why, I would think they wouldn't mind doing it.
Maybe offer to buy them a coffee or something!
I had the same problem with a HTC One M7 just off contract. ATT gave the unlock code but I didn't have the "other sim", went to a Verizon store, gave my story and bought a sim for $2.00, well worth it. Unlocked just fine . Also if your around a Walmart, I understand they sell prepaid sim packets for about $10 maybe one of those might work .
I'm planning to buy the z5 compact. Either on eBay or Clove or handtec.
I plan to get att in the us either the share 2gb plan or the 4gb prepaid. Not sure the diff.
Anyways, on the site, when I click "bring my own phone", it asks for the imei, then the mfr model. But there are no Sony phones. What do I choose?
Also I've never bought a phone online and brought my own phone to a carrier before so any tips would be welcome
Well I can tell you the what I did for T-mobile, If your using a prepaid plan, which is what I did, I shouldnt be any different. I bought the Nano Sim Card For my Carrier, Which your looking to get an ATT NANO Sim Card, AT-T-GoPhone-Nano-SIM-Card-with-Standard-and-Micro-SIM-Adapters is what your looking for you can get them at walmart Then get your plan Card. Put the nano sim card in your Z5 compact, located on the side under neath the flap, there is going to be a Black nano sim card holder, ITS TINY, and hard to see, Its smaller then the mirco sd card slots below it. Place the sim card with the gold side facing you. Put the sim card with the holder in your phone. Turn on your phone, and follow At&t activation steps. Then they are going to ask for the Prepaid Plan code, Type it in. Bam you have service, If data doesnt work then you have to call and get the UPDATED API information. or wait a couple of hours
I guess I have done some of that before. When traveling intl, I have bought sim cards and installed them. APN download is usually automatic.
I've never bought a phone from another country and tried to activate it on AT&T. I assume I can buy from anywhere as long as it is (carrier) unlocked. AT&T asks what kind of phone I have in order to send me a sim card. This one isnt on the list. Which should I choose?
