Are there any free ways to get rid of SIM-lock for Incredible S?
If someone can help me, thanks a lot
Currently not, its the same as the rooting process, if we manage to get perm root, we can unlock the sim lock.
So your stuck now on the lock
Hmm, strange. My Incredible S is not SIM-Lock! I can put whatever I want in it
My IS is also sim-lock free, but if its locked, your out of luck until root is here.
i think jtag box can help u
Simlock will depend if you bought a branded or standalone device. While i haven't tried another card.. my device is an Orange IS and i suspect it won't let me use any other sim.
Best thing to do is test.
Mine's sim free version also, but my friends have bought one from service providers and cannot use other sims. Like they said above, you will need to wait for a new root for it, but if you already got a contract for it, then it's ok to hang around for a while right? Just divert your calls for your current sim for now.
u should use xtc clip to unlock your in s

There is no free software to unlock this model.
I thought once you debrand and you are S-off it is unlocked?

S-OFF does not always equal SIM/Carrier Unlock. It depends on the method used. The XTC Clip does S-OFF and SIM/Carrier unlock the phone. AlphaRevX does not.
i'm not aware of any software or 'free' sim unlock services
plenty of paid sim unlock services that work well :/
the only way to sim unlock my old IncS is to buy the code (15$) from any website or there is another method ?
thank you.
You could unlock it for free from optus after 6 months of purchasing it...
Click thanks if I helped you out!

Hey there!
SO I'm just about to buy myself a M8 or Iphone 5 ( If No option ) For what I have read on this forum from yesterday seems like some Sprint M8's can't be unlocked ? The posts I read was from April maybe the Bad A$$ people might have fixed it already ? Please enlighten me on this I prefer the HTC one M8 but the second option is the Iphone 5... I've used a M7 that was ATT as my last phone I Unlocked that Via a Unlock code from a website for 15$ And I don't live in the USA I live in Sri Lanka :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance have a good day.
Little hope for sprint ones.
You can download a file and flash it on the bootloader via the Sim Unlock option, but as much as i know it only worked for AT&T and T Mobile. You could give it a try though but i think theres a Risk of a brick

Bump ! help a bro out
I haven't heard anything about people not being able to SIM unlock the Sprint M8. The only issue I have heard about is that some cannot get S-Off without Sunshine (Which costs $25). There are several posts on this forum regarding SIM unlock. I have done it twice now and both times I was not in the US and thus not on Sprint's network. One time in Malaysia and one time in Costa Rica. The simplest is to install BadBoyz HK rom and then use the unlock method in their post. The unlock took about 5 minutes. You may need to enable other frequency bands on the phone, but that wasn't difficult either and there is a post in the general forum about how to do that.
how are you sim unlocking your sprint m8?
use bad boyz method, it works
but make sure you'r on bad boyz rom when you do the sim unlock, wont work with stock rom. after then sim unlock, you can go back to stock rom if you want to.
no need for s-off to sim unlock
I have a question and could find an answer, well maybe a few... First if you have an unlocked version of the m9 directly brought from HTC all updates come from them not any carriers? With that being said if you by a T-Mobile version and get an unlock code from them will updates still come from them or HTC?
Unlocking phone has nothing do with updates. If you have T-Mobile version doesn't matter if it's Sim locked or unlocked, updates still come from T-Mobile. If you want updates from HTC you have to buy the unlocked model or Dev edition directly from HTC site.

You can always use the SunShine app and change your device to any model you want.. including the developer edition and then you will get updates straight from HTC.

hi can the T-Mobile Version be unlocked/Rooted?
hi i have an HTC M9 from T-mobile, i was checking the boot loader but it doesn't have the fast boot option, I've played around and i noticed that in download mode the fast boot command worked. so. i was wondering it can be unlocked or if T-mobile Locked it like the Xperia Z1s.
i watched a video on how to root it on "any variant" but theirs have been unlocked, i think they have Developers edition but now im wondering if its just mine that is locked.
yes can verify.. you can sim unlock device. travel a lot so need to be able to pop in a telcel chip. only snag is you need to flash a non-tmobile base rom first, Then it will ask for unlock sim code and your set. can leave it on non-tmobile base rom or like me reflash tmobile rom and your set. hope that helps

When you say a non tmobile base do you mean flash a custom rom onto the device? Thanks

Yes, sunshine will s-off your device. That will allow you to change cid and mid and turn your device into a dev edition or any other M9 released. Just note the radio/modem of your phone won't change. It won't gain support for other bands, but some may be disabled depending on the RUU you flash.
I just opened my T-Mobile S6 and updated to 5.1.1 G920T1UVU2COF9.
Do you have any idea on how to downgrade?
Root?
Flash ROMs?
are you on TMOBILE or METRO PCS? Just curious really - the stock rom you mentioned is the official release from METRO PCS G920T1 - back when the S6 was first released a number of people on TMO flashed the Metro PCS Stock rom to help simplify unlocking the SIM - so it should be compatible with either TMO or Metro PCS phones..
If that stock release is anything like the latest TMOBILE - yuo cannot go back to the previous version - but you might be able to root it using the odin flashable Uni-Kernel here - GOOD LUCK
they are clearly testing something @ T-Mobile, because someone else reported getting G920TUVU20F8
yours is 0F9
Screenshot btw?

I updated to the OFB bootloader and modem on my T-mobile phone and the unlock still works, so yes. Yes yo can root after that with unikernel in the unified s6/s6edge section.

Make sure to use the newest version of odin to flash these. Bootloader goes in BL slot and modem goes into CP slot, also uncheck auto reboot in options and reboot phone manually once its done flashing. :good:

I am on COF9 because I needed to SIM unlock as well, and I'm rooted and use TWRP 2.8.7.1. Currently running XtreSoLite 2.2 but disappointed because I do not have WiFi Calling or VoLTE. I'm guessing it's because MetroPCS doesn't offer either. I'm currently trying to find a way to keep SIM unlock and have VoLTE and WiFi calling for when I swich back to my T-Mo SIM. Don't know anything about COFB and not sure there's any benefit to going through all the ridiculous hoops just to upgrade. Anyone else know?
I've got the ODIN for COF9, but it's massive.. like 3.6gb and not sure where to post. I spent probably 6 hours downloading from sammobile. It sucked.
No, I just changed it to model 920i.
Try a few things, but that T-Mobile I found no ROMS or anything, so I gave up on it.

Try talking with @stifilz2 he can sim unlock s6 tmo variant. I was running g920t1 because of the unlock code. But i flashed tmos latest update and bootloader was updated so i was sim lock again and stock with new update. So stifilz helped me aout it took him 4 min and he unlocked my phone (again) and he only ask for small donation...

That's exactly what I did! He got back to me within an hour and unlocked in a matter of minutes! I then ODIN'd back to full stock t-mo and rooted and couldn't be happier!
I donated via PayPal because he did what no one was even offering.

I recently purchased a Note 10 liter to replace my broken note 8. I am on Verizon and I bought a carrier unlocked phone.
I do not see the wifi calling feature to enable it on the phone and the seller told me that I would need a carrier locked phone for this feature.
Is there anything I can do to enable this feature? I am ok with installing a ROM in order to do so.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hi, I don't know if Verizon is similar to AT&T but I had to not only flash the AT&T bloatware, I had to use my old SIM card that had previously been used in an AT&T carrier branded phone & in their system for a time (for me it was over a year) to get all of the expected features. Wifi calling, visual voicemail, HD voice & video.

I am using the SIM card from my old phone in the new Note 10 lite. Maybe I need to wait for a while.
Is there a site I can download the Verizon apps from to install them?

I assume this is an International or Latin American version?
I'm guessing you can use the Frija app to get the firmware & a specific Odin to flash the software. Search here on XDA for answers. Maybe you won't be able to flash us carrier software on a foreign model?
Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
The Note 10 lite is an International Device. There are no roms to flash as there is no Twrp. The only way a rom can be flashed is creating a rom that is like a Magisk module and flash it that way. As of now none exist. Usually you need a At&t csc zip or whatever carrier you are using and flash the csc with Twrp. And i don't believe there is a carrier version of the 10 lite. The 10 lite already has volte. I have been using mine on At&t with At&t sim and there is no wifi calling. You can unlock the bootloader and root. I wrote up a how to guide on rooting. The only thing you can do is call your carrier and see what they can do. But I know I have tried this before on At&t with an international device and they said they were unable to activate wifi calling on that device

The only time I have seen wifi calling work on a International device used in United States is with a custom rom with csc from different carriers cooked into the rom. In my experience International phones do not support this right out of the box. So yes its easy to say "works for me" when you live in the region the phone was made for..lol.

I know this is a year old post, but I just picked up a Vietnamese Note 10 Lite, and wifi calling works just fine on T-Mobile in the US.
Just in case anyone else had the same question at some point.
