Won't do any good buddy. The sim in the bionic is for LTE only. The bionic doesn't run on the GSM networks that a GSM sim card will do any good. The bionic is a "semi global" phone, which means it'll only work in countries running CDMA networks.
There's plenty of websites advertising sim unlocks, and i went through one a well trying to get mine unlocked a well. After a month with no codes, I had to argue for another week for a refund. If it works for you, let the rest of us know how you did it. But I see no possible way since the radios don't support it.

Thats about right
You need to search and look at other forums..

Please I need help badly XT860 OR XT 862

DEARS ,
First of all thanks a lot for all your threads , your really more than experts , you are a crazy people
I am from EGYPT , planning to buy Motorola Droid 3 , i have a friend in US will bring it to me while he visiting Egypt next week,
First I thought its an easy issue , search , pay and get it , But it wasnt simple like this , as you know i faced xt860 and xt862 isuue , i tried to understand alot of threads here explains the different between them but not clear answer (and lot of talk about rooting, ROM ,lot stuff i didn't understand )
After searching and reading a lot over the web i found discrepancies in all information about two versions so i got lost
So i have to decide which one i have to buy , XT860 with higher price or XT862 lower price
1-which one is better to buy? and why ? (both xt860 &xt862 on negrielectronics , i can not send the path here as i am new user )
2-Is negrieelectronics is trusted store ?
Please i need your help badly as i have only 2 days to decide.
(Sorry for my terrible English )

I have never heard of negri electronics, so I cannot vouch for their reliability.... But as far as the xt860 vs. Xt862, I would recommend the xt860 if your not in the U. S. You will have to get the Xt862 SIM unlocked, which is damn near impossible I hear. Save yourself the headache, and get the 860.

the unlock code is not a big deal , as there are so many xt862 unlocked already , what i mean which is a better phone ?
and negrielectronics.com i found lot of posts about it here in this forum

It seems to me that there are more ROMs for XT862 than XT860. I also remember reading somewhere in the forum that firmware updates for the latter are slower and behind the former.
Personally, I purchased a XT862 for use in the UK. After 2 weeks, I noticed that the data connection is a bit lacking compared to the Milestone I had before.

Any xt862 rom can be patched to work on the xt860 very easily

thanks guys i already bought xt860 just right now , i hope its the right decision

I ordered an XT860 from negri.
despite taking a week to arrive, it did and in mint condition, aside from having been open-boxed to test somewhere around december (they forgot to wipe it)
Personally, for the $400 or so that unlocked XT860's are worth, i regret not just getting an XT862 on ebay for 200 and US-unlocking it, as the bell XT860 does not have the contacts installed for the verizon wireless charging battery door to interface with. (oh well, small loss, but still)

Get the XT862. It's cheaper and has more support, and it works just as fine with GSM after build.prop edit
Yes negri electronics is a trusted store. I bought from them and I know a couple of others who did too.
Oh.. Too late

Tooooo late my friends , i got my XT820 yesterday but its not works with any SIM CARD !!!!!!!!!!! not asking for code or anything just works well but sim card not read !!! now i am asking them for return ! any one know anything about this issue

ivanol84, have you tried checking a different SIM card? Also, be sure there is no SIM LOCK on the card.

Try a brand new simcard.
Check the SIm-card-lock options in build.prop (force SIM-unlock)

What you mean ?

He said you can try to add the line " keyguard.no_require_sim = true" to your "build_prop" file located in the system folder on your phone, restart the phone and see if that works.
This can be done easily by using a root enabled file browser like "rootexplorer", which can be found on the market to edit the file.

Or terminal emulator snd type "setprop keyguard.no_require_sim true" without the quotes and try a quick relock of the phone but ... did you buy the phone unlocked? All xt860s from bell are shipped sim locked and need to be unlocked to use with another provider/sim.

Hi. i've recently purchased a xt860. it is unlocked. but i seem to be dropping my data connection more frequently. but with data roaming on it's fine.
whilst data roaming is off i get the triangle with data connection lost..blah blah blah.
is there anything i can do to get rid of that annoying message? because obviously it is a canadian phone it thinks it is in another country despite a uk sim being in it.
any roms solve this problem?? i have a moto razr xt910 and there is a gsm patch. is there one for this phone?
many thanks

Few questions. Have you tried the xt860 base I posted and does it have this issue? Are you using an xt862 rom and if so have you applied the data patch(idk if it's been test on .906 roms)? Have you tried using rsd to reset the phone to stock and see if the problem persisits? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377146 , I have another patch on my phone but no apps are letting me upload atm. You'll still have to setup apns or push an apns-conf.xml to the phone(setup your data connection again, you did this in the first place and selected it as the default apn, right?)

It was stock. But i installed your deodexed version. It is sooo much better. Debloated and the camera runs a whole lot quicker. Hopefully getting rid of all that bloat will save on the battery!!

[Q] HTC Raider Bootloop

Hello everyone,
Although I found lots of similar posts, I couldn't find solution for problem I have. Last year I bought HTC Raider (originaly on Rogers) on e-bay. Phone was unlocked, my SIM card (provider is Tele2 Croatia) worked perfectly in it. January 10th this year I've changed provider to T-mobile Croatia and when I tried to use their SIM card - my phone is constantly rebooting. It is not rooted or using custom ROM or anything like that. I've tried to contact HTC services in Croatia but their answer is that they cannot help me because HTC Raider is not sold in Europe. I am really stuck here, so you guys are my last hope. I am willing to donate money to anyone who can give me solution which works.
Thanks.

If you take out the sim card (or use the old sim card) and turn the phone on, does it work normally? If so, i'm more confused. Otherwise, your boot partition might have gotten messed up somehow, in which case you would either want to re-flash the boot.IMG from the stock ROM, or use htc's RUU (try that first).

If I use old sim card everything is fine. Meanwhile, I did S-off, root and put Holics ROM, but same thing happens. What I have noticed, when old sim card is inside, preferred network is set on GSM/WDCMA/LTE, somehow I managed to open phone info with T-mobile sim inserted and preferred network was set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto. I couldn't change that manually because there is not enough time between resets.

OK... You somehow have a radio issue... Your Sim card seems to think its for a different style phone...
Methinks you should ask T-Mobile why your Sim card is doing that...
This phone is for GSM networks...
You may have to tell them that...
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk

Ok, today I went to T-mobile and told them that. Their explanation was that problem is in the phone, not in SIM card. They said other providers in Croatia don't have 4g network and they do. Essentially they said there is nothing they can do about it. My last option is to ask is it possible to remove CDMA from phone completely by deleting files or something like that?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OK, problem is solved. What I did:
Installed wahjee desensed rom - phone was still rebooting with t-mobile sim
I was ready to give up so I did oem lock and installed stock rom through sd card so I can sell it...
Then I decided to try just once more and inserted t-mobile sim... And voila! It works... Perfectly. No reboots any more... Now I'm really confused... But I don't care... As long as it works )

Huh! Well good for you! If you ever install another rom on there, let us know if the same thing happens again (or of it doesn't).

Must use new sim

Not sure if this is the right place but this post is just to inform people of what i learned the hard way today.
There are new SIM cards, they should come shipped with your phone. If you are like me, you just toss your old card in and go with it. I was unable to get LTE with it, but i didnt know that was the issue. I went to the store, they gave me a new SIM to try, and the same thing. The manager got involved and when she looked at the SIM she said it wasnt right. Apparently, the new SIM cards have grey and purple on them in one of the corners. Not 100% what it is but one of the guys said it had something to do with ISIS.
Anyways, long story short if you are getting 4g in the notification, but not LTE and you ,know you are in an LTE area, make sure you are using one of the new SIM cards, it is apparently a requirement because as soon as we put one in, i was good to go.

More than likely the ISIS issue has to do with a secure element SIM. LTE should be available as long as a LTE enabled SIM is used but it will be interesting to see if AT&T has changed the game again. I guess we will soon know when others try to use their LTE enabled SIMs (from their S4s) in their S5s.

I was using an LTE enabled SIM from my G2, and the new one they gave me originally was also an LTE enabled SIM. Thats the reason for this post. The new SIM has to be used, at least thats the only way they were able to get LTE to work on mine and i truly dont think thats coincidence.

That's interesting, but not surprising. I have to wonder if they did it to keep people from just switching SIM cards from an older phone to a newer phone without telling AT&T.

That was the store managers theory as well. They hadnt even unboxed the new SIMs yet, so i had to hang out for a bit to wait on it.

LTE worked for me with old sim i had from SGS4 , but ISIS complained that it's not secure sim ect. ISIS wont work with old sim, if you dont care for ISIS old sim should get you LTE if you had it before.
New sim did come with the my SGS5 phone when i preordered , droped that in called customer rep to provision it and was set.

ordered mine with Next program, and it shipped with a new sim. Ignored the new sim. popped my nano sim card in using an adapter and works well and I get LTE.

not true. i popped the same micro sim from my S3 into my S5 last night and it worked perfectly fine. LTE works and is just as fast. the only thing was the ISIS app was complaining that i needed to use the new sim to use the new features. I disabled ISIS completely and no more notifications.

I am also using my S3 sim in my S5 showing LTE and getting LTE speeds with no error messages. Not sure what ISIS is though.

Pretty sure the new gray sim card is built out of security to use ISIS ( an E- wallet that use money in your cellphone account, etc ).
When I switch from G2 to Note 3, the guy in AT&T store ask me to change the sim card.
The season is just to make sure ISIS is secure when you doing transaction using your phone

Well, that's exactly what I said to start with but the OP insisted a new SIM was needed for LTE.

Also using a SIM that is about 2 years old.
On top of that I was constantly (like 2-3 times a week) switching between an S4, Nexus 5, and an iphone 5 with out issues and got LTE on all of them.

Maybe im just a bad bad man trying to spread misinformation to the masses. J/K
I was simply sharing what had been determined by myself and a few at the AT&T store. If its wrong, i apologize. Like i stated we had tested with 2 other SIM cards, the old style and even after several reboots, we could never get it to switch from 4g to 4g LTE. Of course as its been mentioned here, i also find it odd that in the time we had other SIM cards in, i never saw an ISIS error. Maybe my phone is just jank.

No harm in the info just had that problem today with gf pro. She wanted to use isis to get the free 50 bones they are offering and she had to get the new Sim with secure in it.

That wasn't easy to follow, but if you are asking if you can switch back to an old sim card after ISIS is setup, the answer is no. The new sim with the secure element must be used for ISIS to function.

Yes it was but have wallet already set up and want to get the new Sim, was hoping it doesn't kill wallet

Sounds like you need a new SIM.

Did you buy new from autorized dealer or second hand?

Check your apn settings, your phone might still be using the Movistar ones.
