If your looking for a sim card unlock then you have to buy a code for about 20$ you just type it in and the phone will accept any sim card . But if you want to make sure there is no trace then phone was locked you should flash HTC s generic WWE ginger bread Rom that way no carrier bloat ware is there

D3 in Italy

So in five days I am going to italy for spring break. And I have no idea what fixes I need for gsm and what roms work for gsm. So with that being said could some one point me toward necessary files for gsm
Thanks in advanced.

So I assume you'll be using an italian SIM? Else couldn't you just roam?
For usage with GSM-SIM outside of USA you need to buy an unlock code (ebay, etc?)
Apart from that, you'll have a big change it'll just work.
If it does not:
1) you have an old SIMcard
2) you need to do some edits (e.g. vodafone)
3) stock rom is giving you trouble (for me sometime 3G wouldn't automatically turn on)

Just make sure your SIM slot is unlocked and you will be good. I don't think you will need the AT&T/T-Mobile hack.

Sweet thanks guys. I don't need any hacks and the sim card is already italy ready. But for ics roms is there a fix that I would need?

[Q] Changing providers and unlocking phone

I might need to change service providers soon because Koodo is just sucking right now. As such, my phone needs to be unlocked. I would be paying Koodo for the service so that I don't have to run the risk of bricking my S5830D (can you brick your phone attempting to unlock it?). However, my little Ace is running CM9.1 RC4.1 by Wayland_ACE.
I don't know the SIM unlocking procedure and I was wondering if I would need to flash back Koodo's Stock ROM (where can I get that by the way?) and unroot it to have it unlocked.
I also heard of unlock codes around these forums and was wondering what they were, does Koodo just give me a code that I enter somewhere to SIM unlock? Please give me any information that you can on this matter.
Koodo charges $50 to unlock the SIM. Is there a safe and simpler less expensive method to unlock the SIM?
Thanks in advance.

Did you ever manage to get ur ace unlocked?

Haha ok. I borrowed the gf's sim when i did mine. It feels good to have the freedom to use any network, especially when you own the phone. :sly:

If you got branded fw I would be supriced if it's not locked.
If you flash other fw you'll have a change of csc (three letter country/carrier-code), which also requires a factory reset of the device, so you'll lose all data.

Thanks. I'll leave it for now....

[Q] Custom ROM [CM10] for Unlocked Sim

I want to install CM10.
My phone is from Verizon USA and now I have it in Mexico with another company, when I bought the phone the guy gave me the unlock code for the phone to be able to use any SIM
My question would be, if I install CM10 my phone will get locked again? And if so, with the same code I can unlock it again?
Thank u

No it unlocks at the hardware level so you are fine.

CM10 Stable?
Thank you NOw what worries me is some people saying there are problems with CM10 and GSM (not recognizing the SIM), but I was wondering, in case that happens, restoring the backup would it be fixed?
Has someone else tried CM10 and knows any bug or problems?

That is just a software bug if it happens to you. Easily fixable by going to a different ROM.
