Hello!
Looking for a way to spend the approximate 200 dollars I want to get for Christmas, and I was wondering if I can get the titan or titan 2 working without a sim card. Just want something to play around with wp7 with (7.5 or 7.8) and was hoping for prices to fall with the release of wp8. I know I can buy from Craigslist and the previous owner can just shut down service and it works as if activated without a sim, but Craigslist is expensive where I am with the titans. I found titan 2 on amazon wireless for 150, can I use it without sim? Thanks, sorry I'm new to wp7 and might be asking noob questions.

what do you mean without a sim, like CDMA version for Verizon, cause there is no such version of the Titan`s

I mean using it on wifi only, like an iPod touch. iOS too boring and android slow unless newer (expensive). I mean no cellular service whatsoever. I'm fine with buying unlocked phone and keeping airplane mode on. But I was hoping to know if this was possible, and if so, on wp 7.8 titan I or 7.5 titan II

Hello all, I am currently rocking a galaxy note 2, love it, but its size is its greatest feature, but also its worst. I have decided to get a one x +, getting it on a super cheap O2 contract. I want to continue to use my three sim card, so my question is firstly does a uk O2 htc one x + come.network locked, and if it does where is the best place to get it unlocked. My three sim card comes with truely unlimited data, so want to continue to use it. Ibl have searched the forum, but can only find threats to do with at&t.
Thank you for any responses.

i have an o2 uk one, and i had to get it network unlocked, i got hasoon2000 to do it for me.
I just filled the unlocking form in on the O2 website, and they got back to me within 24hrs with the code.
Great, how long did you have the phone for before you were able to request the unlock code. Oh, and cheers for the super fast reply.

I bought the phone outright on eBay no contract, i only had 2 months of my contract left with O2 so i swapped sims, and just requested the unlock code.
you can contact hasoon HERE, i dont know how much he charges, but i am sure he is not the expensive.
Hi, I'm in the UK and looking at buying the xperia u for my sister. However it is locked on either o2 or Vodafone, depending on where I buy it from.
My question is how do I unlock the phone to make it sim free, I want to put a t mobile sim in there.
Do I root the phone to make it sim free? Or is there some other method.
Thanks for any help.

Buy it from phones4u and it'll be unlocked. No rooting doesn't unlock
Also depending on what she wants it for the 'U' isn't that great really. If you're buying it out right then get an S off eBay. They go for only around 120-150 area

O2 will unlock it for free if you have a contract with them (or get someone with a contract to do it).
CPW stock is also unlocked.
You have to install a Custom Rom

are you sure this will work?
Installing a custom rom or rooting the device will not make your phon sim free. If you want a network unlocked phone get it factory unlocked otherwis you will end paying for an unlocking service.

Is there any one working on a custom recovery for this device?
It's been suggested that Framaroot will root this device. If any one has rooted this device please post how you accomplished it for any one interested.
Edit: Attempted Framaroot. No go. Attempt failed. If any one has any other suggestions please post them for any one with this device including myself.

i just got this phone and its not too shabby. coming from an s3.
Guy with the screen name "jonsvibe" says his is rooted but as of yet I haven't gotten him to reply to let us know how he did it.

Another way I came across is SRSroot. Haven't used it yet though so don't know if it will work or brick. Hopefully not the latter. Although StraightTalk said they will replace my GSII when one becomes available in the warehouse so I may not root this device as I will have to send it back at some point.
Also tried Z4root without success. That went as far as trying to gain root shell then freezes and closes. Things go wrong after that and I have to reboot to restore it back to normal.

I used SRS root to root mine. Seems to work fine. Having an issue with my WiFi not wanting to connect but it may just be my router being cute...
I used the smart root option and the Gandalf exploit was the one that worked for me...

Ok. Thanks to Chaz the rooting issue is solved. Now all we need is some one to take an interest in this device and provide us with a recovery and some roms. PLEASE????
I want to learn how to port and create myself but I currently have no PC to learn on so am totally dependant on the good people here at XDA.
Thanks XDA and God Bless you all.

Rooted Alcatel A851L
I tried Kingo with no luck but I did get it with Towel.
This is only 2nd phone I have rooted I am a Real newbie
I rooted tring to get a hotspot or usb tether to work with NO
Luck so far; but did get Adaway, Nova launcher,Titanium,SU,
and Voodoo OTA rootkeeper so far, that`s what I ran on my Rzr
Just got tired of being raped by "V". Have had phone for about
A week so far hoping to get tether working
How did you get Towel to root your device? Just downloaded it again and it tells me that my device isn't supported.
Update: Downloaded Framaroot again and tried the Ganadalf exploit for the second time. SUCCESS. Device is now rooted running superuser.

root for alcatel a851l
After a few tries I finally was successful with the no computer framaroot app. I chose the install supersu and then Gandalf. Then checked with a root check app to make sure I was successful. One of the first apps I chose was adblockplus, it's nice to play games with no more ad interruptions. I live way out in the middle of BFE, at&t signal comes and goes. So I've played around a bit and installed internet booster and faster internet 2x apps. Now I'm getting a 4g signal at times and a great improvement in internet speed and even now see a better signal in general. I also installed an app and froze preinstalled apps I don't use and even hate just to make sure nothing important was damaged. Then the best feeling was to finally remove completely.
I'm still having trouble getting a hotspot or WiFi tether to run. Foxfi was my first choice, since I've used numerous times on a variety of phones but had no luck. I'm currently researching and trying different apps to get my phone to be wifi hotspot router to hook up my tablet to save my eyes from this small screen and then connect to my printer as well. Would be a lifesaver if my son could connect to his Xbox.
Ok. I bricked my device by changing to many fonts. Does anyone know the proper flashing tool for this device and can any one supply a system.img that I can flash back to my device to unbrick it? Any help would be appriciated.

Ive heard the bootloader is locked on this device. Can any one confirm this and can it be unlocked using fastboot or other wise?
The bootloader for this device is listed (by the app Quickboot) as (LFACQ0Q0). Don't know enough to know if this helps in unlocking the bootloader or not. Tried to boot into the bootloader using the quickboot app but no luck. Haven't found any thing on Google about this devices bootloader.
