I'd been thinking about unlocking mine too, just hadn't got around to trying. If I find a way to do it that doesn't involve RSD lite I'll let you know.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynk3:
I wonder... maybe it's because I am putting in a non LTE sim card... I'll try my sisters LTE Virgin Mobile Sim card when I get home.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacoguevara:
I'll try to ask my carrier directly how to get it unlocked, though they might refuse to answer since I'm still on contract.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danifunker:
Try putting your phone into airplane mode when your regular SIM is installed then power it off. Afterwards put a foreign SIM into the device and power it back on. When the device starts fully take it out of airplane mode. Let me know what happens.

SSUUUCCCCESSSSS !!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

SO. Here is what I did ! ... I did a factory reset. ( I HIGHLY DOUBT YOU HAVE TO so try it with the following first and if it fails try it after a factory reset) the only difference this time is.. I PUt a foreign LTE micro sim card in and then it popped up !!! ... So guys who have this phone. please note. To get the Unlock code question you MUST put in an LTE Micro Sim card.

Thanks to everyone for the help and suggestions!!! Very much appreciated. Loving the XDA community. I will also inform Cellunlocker about this so that they may specify that an Foreign LTE sim card is needed to get the unlock code query. and foreign obviously meaning one that is not your carrier.

Good luck guys and happy unlocking.

Also i have verified if the unlocking works. And it has !! Thanks a bunch again guys! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajua:
That's great! I'm glad there is a way to unlock this phone.

I have a question, though. Did you put the foreign LTE Micro SIM card after factory resetting it? Or did you do the reset with your carrier's SIM on it and put other carrier's card after that?

I bought a Movistar Micro SIM which supposedly is LTE without any luck before when I created this thread, but I will try to get other LTE Micro SIM to try again. If that doesn't work, I will do a factory reset after you answer the question about the order you put the SIM cards on your phone.

Thanks. I will keep you guys posted.

What did you do to unlock
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynk3:
I left my original sim card in when I did the factory reset. Then removed it and replaced it with a Virgin Mobile LTE sim card. It may be that the sim card you got wasn't LTE. But I could be wrong. Never the less do try it. If it isn't that, I'll keep looking for solutions.

Edit: Oh, I also forgot to add one thing. With my original LTE Micro sim I did do a sim unlock as well. On my carriers (Fido) website, Fido.ca, in the account section I was able to receive the PUK code. This might have helped with unlocking, not too sure. Get the PUK code from your carrier first. Then go to your sim lock under Settings>Security&Screen lock> Setup Sim card lock. select the first option, which says Lock sim card. Then input the wrong code 5 times I believe then it will ask for a PUK code. Insert the PUK code there and it should unlock the sim card. Once Again I don't know if this exactly helped but It was one of the things I did in my attempts to unlocked the phone.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajua:
It seems weird that it had something to do with unlocking your carrier's SIM card. Nevertheles, I'm already trying to get an LTE SIM from a different carrier to try a factory reset and/or this PUK code sim unlock with my sister's carrier.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angrist:
This solution is not for the same model but might work:

Get a RETAIL ROM (aka unbranded) that works for your phone ( e.g. Flash XT910 Brasil retail ROM over a XT910 Telcel ROM, both are latam so they work flawlessly), factory reset, wipe cache, then switch sim card.

I read it in another forum. Reason is unknown (or maybe it's a bussines reason) but trying to unlock carrier was possible using a retail version instead of telcel rom.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rulasram:
Yes its true

I have a telcel HD, flashed retail brazil, an in the moment i insert a sim from att asked for unlock code.

Having issues going from LJC to MA7 right now. Running the stock deodexed rom by Team Venum and I'm trying to update to a MA7 or possibly CM rom. Any opinions on which is better/more stable as I'm definitely looking for a daily driver here and if anybody could give me simple instructions on how to go from LJC to MA7 without messing anything up, that'd be great too! Any help is appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:
First off, make a Titanium backup and store it onto your EXT SD card.

Next you would have to flash a rom that makes you unrooted stock, find one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

Download the fully stocked LJC rom.

Note that once you do this, you will no longer have root or TWRP/CWM.

Wipe cache/dalvik cache, system and factory reset.

Flash the stock rom.

Once you do that, download the official OTA MA7 Update here:

Once you have the update downloaded, flash it in the stock recovery mode.

4G Loss

I am runing MacksRom AllStar! MA7 Baseband has been updated to L900VPAMA7. I seem to have lost 4G since updating to MA7 (used the DeOxed update in Xda. Any ideas? Should I revert to an old backuped ROM and start again?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TMPOOLE:
Depends on how old your backup is.

You might try a current Nandroid backup to retain your present state. Do a complete wipe so you can do a clean re-flash of your current ROM. After that, do a restore of your data only and see if reflashing solved your problem.

You can always try going back to your old backup to troubleshoot further. I'd attempt the above first.

I don't use MacksRom, but I'd check the dev thread and see if anyone else is having similar problems with 4G. Sometimes stuff gets broke or bent and it just needs a short while to get corrected.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:
I just suggested that way because I tried the All in One but the Kernal wasnt sticking until I did the process I explained above.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] family682guy:
I have a Samsung i9000T that I recently bought from a lady who said she forgot her password to it so she couldn't unlock it. So I bought it and tried factory resetting it so I could sell it to a friend of mine who wants to upgrade from an iPhone 3G. Well factory resetting did nothing, I did some digging and found out that it's a common problem for i9000's to have a csc file corruption. So I decided to flash, via odin, a stock firmware to the device. The firmware I decided on was a UK firmware because I couldn't find an american firmware for it. The flash was successful and I was able to boot the phone no problem. A weird thing was that all of the lady's data was still on the phone, so I contacted her and told her I could backup all of her pics and give them to her, which she happily said yes to. After that, I rooted the phone and installed cwm and then flashed Slim rom android 4.2.1 to the device. I then put a backup sim of mine in the phone and tested the phone. The problem I am having is I don't get any signal on the phone what so ever. I have all the ATT apn's on the phone and they look to be correct.

My question is, having flashed a UK firmware before anything somehow messed up the ability to connect to ATT here in the USA? And what course of action should I take to correct the issue with no signal? My friend is in the military and is being mobilized on the 1st of march so I would like to have a working phone for him before then as I will not see him for some time after.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisHoppyBot:
Just a question, has she ever reported it stolen? Has the IMEI number been blocked?

Find out the IMEI number and contact the original Network Supplier that the phone was used on and as them to check this. They'd be able to tell you if there are any issues.

Not trying to worry you but it happened to me. I had to return the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] family682guy:
I know the imei, but I don't know the original carrier for the phone... I assume it was ATT because that is the dominant carrier in my area. I'll get in touch with the lady I bought it from and see for sure.

On another note, I've tried testing the internal antenna by inserting a wire into the external port, but still no signal.

I'm going to try completely starting over and see how it goes this time.

Will Ubuntu for Phones be possible for our gio? MMB is nicely working on FirefoxOS, but I want to try Ubuntu too, its especially made to run with android drivers and kernel. Its excually a modded CM10.1 without dalvik. But the downside is, its requires a additonal flash from 400mb (talking about port to s3), and thats to big for our Gio. Do you think someone will make it possible?

Is it possible to use the initrd patcher.zip which makes ist possible to use an ext4-partition on sd-card as internal memory with the actual Pacman-Rom for Xperia-Pro?

Or is there another way for the Pro to get extra internal memory?

Hello guys!

I recently bought a new battery for my evo 3d. I plug in the charger and the red LED light appears, disappears, then comes back, but then is gone. When I plug in my old battery everything works fine.

Is it a faulty battery?

Thanks loads!
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
Try leaving it on the charger for an hour. Maybe the battery is just completely empty so it needs more time to start charging

That's the problem.

Just leave it plugged in over night. It'll get a charge.

If not, make sure the metal on the battery is making full contact with the metal on the phone.
[HTC Rezound] diddykonga:
When i open bootloader (Holding Power + Volume-down), it keeps pushing a 'update' whether i click yes or no, it still forces me to reboot which in the end leaves me stuck on the HTC white screen.

Any help would be welcomed :)
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
1. Easiest is to plug your phone into a computer while its off and adb works when it's off. Deleted the update.zip or ph98img.zip on your sdcard.

option 2.

take out sdcard. boot into hboot. plug phone into a charger usb or wall. pull battery out and put in sdcard, put battery back in and enter recovery.
[HTC Rezound] diddykonga:
Thanks for that, ended up doing the second option :)

Now, was wandering if i could get some assistance with flashing to EclipticRez.

First, while in TWRP 2.3.3 i got to wipe, run Factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache.

After having done that, i go to install and find a folder i created called Roms which holds the EclipticRez.zip, and choose it. I proceed through the options, choosing Lunar for the kernal, and choosing S-On for the safety mode. Let it run through a rather super quick installation then it asks me if i want to reboot i click yes, and am still presented with an every lasting HTC White Screen.

Would you happen to know what im doing wrong? Thanks :)
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
You need to flash the boot IMG if you are s on.
[HTC Rezound] diddykonga:
Do i do that after i have installed/flashed the ROM?

and where do i need to be to do it? (Recovery, HBoot, etc..)

Thank you for your help :)
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
Flashed in fastboot. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" You can flash the boot.img after or before you install the rom.

[HTC Rezound] diddykonga:
Tried relocking my hboot, but now for some reason my adb wont ever detect my phone.

Can anyone help? like a link to the drivers or something?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I'm s-on and just flashed Ecliptic myself.

I selected Lunar kernel and my phone didn't do the kernel install itself but it put the PH98IMG file on my sd card. I can't remember if after the ROM flashing it left me at the bootloader or not, but you should be able to get to it.

Perhaps you thought that was the OTA and wanted to not take it? If it appeared immediately after flashing the ROM it's the kernel and you need to let it flash in order to be able to completely boot up the phone.

At this point you need to unlock the bootloader again. Then disconnect the phone from pc, power down, pull battery and boot into bootloader by holding vol down + power until the bootloader screen shows up. It should find the PH98IMG file and ask you if you want to update, say yes.

If you pulled the "stockboot.img" file from the ROM it may not be working since you selected the Lunar kernel during the ROM flash setup.

If you've already deleted the PH98IMG file then just pull the lunarboot.img and flash that in fastboot, it should work. You can just do it right after unlocking the phone while it's still connected to your pc.

fastboot flash boot lunarboot.img

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbliner:
Thinking more about this...when I've previously used a Windows Laptop to join hotspots...when you first launch a browser it takes you to some hotspot webpage which you usually have to hit "connect" for whatever reason.

At the two locations I was at yesterday, my TF101 browser didn't redirect, so i could not accept whatever it was I was probably supposed to click on.

My next outing, I will see if another browser on the TF101 does, or if "requesting desktop site" and refreshing works.

It's also great for WI-Fi around the house/office/tethering if need be, instead of eating up your battery playing games I usually will bust out the inc4 to watch TV and play Facebook poker. I'm not very interested in phones any bigger than the S3iii, I HATED the feel of the HTC DNA even though it's only .2 bigger than our phone but it really made such a difference, perhaps was the weight of the DNA.
