[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Not sure how anyone can help you here. If you're not a Verizon customer then Verizon can't unlock them for you. Not sure what their policy is on unlocking 3g phones either.

Update: Pulled this from the web.

Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.

1. Meet the following requirements:

* Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.

* The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.

* The line of service must be active at least 60 days.

* The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.

* Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.

If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.

2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)

3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.

4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.

5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mwuahjaan:
The iPhone 4s I have got clean ESN. Someone has to put it on his line and call up Verizon to unlock the device for international use. Need to tell them that he wants to use it with a local sim card of the country where he is travelling to. All the time, the device is resting here, powered off. So that there are no charges incurred to the person who is doing this favour to me.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Would be really hit and miss for someone here to do that. The 4S is a 3g phone, activating it on our lines would require someone to go in store and get a sim swap. And even then, with the rules posted above, they probably still wouldn't do it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mwuahjaan:
Nope you don't need a sim swap. Just need to put the MEID of my device on your line. Once you do that my device gets 'active' on your line and then a call need to be made to VZW international dept or a live chat can be done, telling them to unlock the device for international use.

While you do the device swap on your line they may ask you to put the data plan on iPhone 4s which is mandatory to have. Ofcourse, I'll be more than happy to pay any expense.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Thats understood. But putting a 3g device on your line, deactivates the 4g LTE card. They cannot be reactivated, you have to go in store to get a new LTE card.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] vonny3492:
are you sure....

I have an HTC Rezound, and I'd heard it was unlocked.

I'm abroad in the UK (Scotland) but when I put in an international sim card it says the sim card is unrecognized, and I can't get any signal but I can turn on mobile network I just can't access it (no signal). I messed with the APNs (using my network in the UKs suggested settings) but I can't seem to get it to function.

I know that the phone itself says it only offers CDMA and LTE but I was wondering if there was a sneaky way to get to the GSM capabilities of the phone that aren't in the menu.

I tried

*#*#4636*#*#

and when I hit the final hash tag the phone just acts like I just opened the dialer app

HELP
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
I don't know about the Rezound, but on our phone, since the latest update, you could change the setting under Settings -> Call -> Preferred Network to Global. There's also an option for GSM/UMTS.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] amluto:
Try something like SWITCHIT - 4G LTE TOGGLE -- it fires a different intent that gets you to the magic phone info page that *#*#4636*#*# is supposed to send you to.

On my Inc 4G, this lets me use AT&T's network in the US (with an appropriate sim). I haven't tried it abroad.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shurensly95:
Hello guys,

I wanted to ask how can i safely update my stock 2.3.6 galaxy note (rooted) to official ics rom? And keeping root?

I have mobile Odin but i don't know if it will keep root after flashing a stock rom with it and if i have to reset or anything.

Reason why i wanna update is cuz on the current version my ram is always between 400-500 which makes my phone lagg during games and even freeze.

You guys think updating to ics will help it? Or a custom rom?

Sincerely thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Hi there,

The easiest way is thru mobile Odin. You need to download the official STOCK ICS (of your region, 4.0.3 or 4.0.4, depends on your region's availability on the latest firmware), second.. if it goes back to not rooted.. (if and if only), then try to root it back again.

Now once your in stock ICS already (4.0.3 or 4.0.4) and ROOTED. for your lag issue when playing games, you can go to chasmodo's thread (credits to the guy) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1789397 and download either the latest Notecore kernel from hardcore or Franco's R5 kernel.

Don't forget you can overclock your phone as well and after installing Franco's R5 kernel( Credits to GabrielMobileTech) on the link:

Hope that helps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shurensly95:
Thanks for ur answer, But i read some post where they say Notecore takes alot of battery drain. :(

EDIT: And if i install a custum kernell it will bring up the triangle right? Can i remove it with the apk or need the usb jig for it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Hi there,

NoteCore is optimize for gaming and for performance. I'm not sure though if it takes a lot of battery drain. You can try reading comments and posts from other users on the NoteCore's thread to confirm from them if indeed the kernel takes a lot of battery juices or not.

Regarding custom kernel and the triangle mark.. No it will not bring up the triangle mark at all. And yes, you can remove it by simply downloading and running ChainFire's TriangleAway app (you need root) to clear it out.

Don't forget to hit me a 'Thank' button if I've helped you one way or the other.

Cheers!
[HTC EVO 3D] xfrobex:
Since the official ICS release from Sprint is out, I decided to write this guide to help those who did the OTA before being s-off. This is for Windows users.

The official JuopunutBear S-OFF site, http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/evo-3d-cdma-shooter/ has been updated to say that their app is for either Sprint's 1.5 or lower Hboot or for the Virgin Mobile Evo V. However, if you have Hboot 1.58, it is still possible, using their older (now removed) ICS leak zip file.

What you will need :

1. Be HTC unlocked. (yes, it does still work for 1.58)

2. a copy of the 4EXT recovery.img (included)

3. ADB & fastboot software/drivers installed (ADB and Fastboot included in zip, just make sure you have drivers installed)

4. a rom that was based on the VM ICS leak. (I used MeanRom ICS version 2.4, Thank you Mikeyxda) Download it here (do not try anything newer than version 2.4, as newer builds are based off of the official sprint build)

I can confirm that rom works, i have not tried other roms based on the same VM leak.

5. A copy of the JB app for the Early ICS leak. (included)

All of those files will be in the zip (rom excluded) linked at the bottom of the post.

Step 1: HTC unlock your bootloader http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

Step 2: Download the zip containing all of the files you will need. (unzip to root of hard drive, it will make it easier to find)

Step 3: Flash 4EXT recovery.

Open a command prompt window, and change directory to where you unzipped the file. (i.e - C:\s-off) [for windows 7 users, you can just hold Shift key down while right clicking on the folder and select "open command window here"]

now enter the command "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/" (without the quotes)

once it finishes, enter "adb reboot bootloader"

once the bootloader loads, enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

once it is finished, enter "adb reboot recovery"

when recovery 4EXT recovery boots and loads, press "tools" on the menu, scoll down to "enable 4EXT smartflash" and select it.

Step 4: flash MeanRom ICS version 2.4

Step 5: once the rom is loaded, goto "settings" then "developer options" and enable usb debugging.

Step 6: using included JuopunutBear software, do the wire trick as described here http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/evo-3d-cdma-shooter/

Once you have successfully completed the JB wire trick, you will be HBoot 1.58 S-off, at which point you can downgrade your h-boot to whichever you prefer. (my preference is the 1.04 ENG HBoot)

Download the needed files here (rom excluded, of course)

Thanks & credits :

The whole JuopunutBear team

[HTC EVO 3D] luisrodz:
The JB site says it will work wih any rooted stock rom. Any idea if I flash vipers deodexed stock ota zip and then run the jb program if it will work. I am currently s-on hboot 1.58
[HTC EVO 3D] xfrobex:
according to the site they were saying h-boots 1.5 and below. thats why i made this guide. i told them in irc that it worked on 1.58, but they told me they hadnt made some necessary changes for it to recognize the newer ICS OTA from sprint. when i tried it after going back s-on then accepting the update their app wouldnt work with it, it kept failing. i've yet to receive a response as to if they updated it to work with the OTA or not. but the VM leaks of ICS i can confirm work still
[HTC EVO 3D] luisrodz:
Thanks! I think I am going to hold off and wait a few days to see if they update. I am in no hurry.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmguru22:
Very nice!
[HTC EVO 3D] Wegba:
I tried doing this with with S-ON and HBOOT 1.58, using 4ext and the ROM you recommended and somehow ended up in a boot loop when Juopunutbear restarted my phone.

I can boot into the boot loader and recovery, and I've tried flashing different ROMs, all to no avail. The latest RUU I can find (2.17.615.5) won't work because of bootloader version mismatch. I should also note that I was on MeanROM v2.6 prior to flashing to 2.4 to try this, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Any ideas on what I can do to get my phone back to a working condition?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzo320:
Yeah, the same happened to me. Looking for a solution. Will post if I find it.

EDIT: Okay I got it. I flashed the stock rooted ICS rom that is available in the dev thread. I then extracted the boot.img and flashed it with fastboot. The boot.img is inside the kernel folder of your rom zip. Place the boot.img where your fastboot.exe is located, open your command prompt and type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fixed my problem
[HTC EVO 3D] Wegba:
Wow, you're a savior! I just wish I had posted this sooner, you would've saved me a two day headache, heh :o

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

Just want to report back and say I was able to successfully S-off after getting back into a working state.

I ran superwipe and followed the steps in the OP (enabled 4EXT SmartFlash, flashed MeanROM v24, enabled USB debugging, and used the JuopunutBear in the OP's link).

I think I might have originally used the newest JuopunutBear by mistake, which caused the boot loop.

Thanks for all the help, and great work!
[HTC EVO 3D] aoaleman:
Yeah, stock rooted ROMS are the way to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzo320:
After I got my phone back up and running I tried it again. It ended up borking my SD card. I couldn't get anything to reformat it so I probably won't be trying this again. 99% Chance I screwed up somewhere though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
That's why they say to use a different ad card bro.

What can I use as insulated wire ?
[HTC EVO 3D] gonzo320:
Get yourself some copper wire from an old cord. I used a twist tie with exposed ends - I read this on another thread somewhere. Considering that's what I used, and my SD card died, I wouldn't recommend it. I also read that a paper clip wrapped in electrical tape works.

My Radio is s-off but my hboot is not...

Hello xfrobex,

"First, keep in mind, that there are technically two S-OFF's, the hboot and the radio. This is somewhat misleading. When you're phone displays S-OFF on the hboot screen, this is actually the Radio S-OFF, not hboot S-OFF."

by Unknownforce

I think this is my issue. My Radio is s-off but my hboot (1.58) is not.

I am currently running the Stock 2.89 unlocked, rooted ROM and my fastboot screen indicates HBOOT 1.58 s-off but it is just my Radio not my hboot.

I know this because I cannot flash kernels successfully using any recovery.

I am able to use Flash Image GUI (not current version) successfully.

If I decide to attempt the procedure in your OP do I need to set the secure flag on the radio for S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" prior to Step 6?

I have read somewhere on here that if it set to s-off when attempting the wire trick you will truly brick your device.

And lastly does your procedure put you on hboot 1.58 or 1.58.5858?

Any input is greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

Did the wire trick worked???

Briefly touch to other end of the wire to the metal casing on the sdcard holder the picture below.......ok

Wait approximately 1.75 seconds and then again touch the wire to the marked GND..........So the first time you make contact for a brief moment you must wait 1.75 seconds to make contact again, and thats it only 2 times and when do you do it? do you do it when phone is on or when you put the phone in the Hboot screen?

Allow the program to continue..........After what?

xfrobex,

Found out through RamJet73 that Jbear now supports the New Sprint ICS 1.58 HBoot (2.89 fw) for getting S-Off and will give you their new Hboot 1.58.5858.

Stuck on Juopunutbear with green arrow screen

Thanks so much for this great compilation of troubleshooting tips.

I, however, am facing something not described here. I am running MeanRom ICS 2.4 on my EVO 3D with Hboot 1.58. I can run adb commands and fastboot commands just fine, but everytime that I run ControlBear and my phone goes into the juopunutbear screen with the green arrow, my phone stops being recognized by the pc. At this point I cannot communicate with the phone at all. The ControlBear software actually freezes on the "Waiting... [20/45]" counter. If I kill the process and restart, I get the message to connect the phone and install drivers.

I then have to pull the battery and boot into fastboot again to run ControlBear -f and back out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey guys i did this really quick i htc unlock first then i did the fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot flash recovey recovery.img and then 4xt enble and now backing up my stock rom then flashing the meanrom thanks it work but still not s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Jbear has since updated their process to work with Hboot 1.58/ICS 2.89 FW. I'd recommend relocking and reflashing the full 2.89 RUU to start over with a clean base and use the new method.

Make sure you install the Jbear Hboot 1.58.5858 or you may have issues using fastboot to flash the recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jocutz1987:
Thank you I did the boot all ready and got the recovery but I still haven't got the wired trick or s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Just keep in mind that the wire trick requires a "Stock Rooted Rom". MeanRom may or may not work for the latest Jbear (I never used Jbear for s-Off), which is why I was recommending the full 2.89 Ruu before starting. Another option to try is "Virus's" Stock Rooted Rom from "step 3" of his 2.89 Fw Update thread.

Okay, so I got it unlocked using the HTCDev on 1.58, HTC EVO 3D.

I keep getting "Device Not Found" when I try the adb push recovery.img /sdcard/ part; however, when I turn on the device and test to make sure the phone is communicating with the PC, I can access the phone as a drive.

I thought I had this down pat from the 1.50 days, but I can't get passed the "Device Not Found" issue.
