That tool works but not for our 510s really... It's super easy and fast just to root the phone yourself because some of my friends tried that and it didn't work but in the process it did something to the boot and we weren't able to unlock it the easy way so I suggest you just use a computer and fastboot to do it.
for our 510s?
which carrier or not the us version?
the phone is on cricket not virgin mobile.
if you look at cricket please be tech savy their phone support is worse than republic wireless's phone support.(youd be better off without crickets support provided they dont hang up on you.)

It doesn't matter what carrier you're on all of the HTC Desire 510s are the same except for the 64 bit ones. You don't have to take my advice, I'm just trying to save you some trouble but if you think that program is gonna unlock your phone and everything go for it, just don't come asking me why it screwed your phone up!! You can ask anyone around on here that knows me, I'm trying to keep you from messing up but like I said you don't have to take my advice!
Edit: I don't have cricket service so I don't care how bad their support is this has nothing to do with that... And if you're asking if I'm tech savvy.... LMAO, HAHA! That made my night man!!
actualy i was checking to see if the programs unlock scripts were upto date.
the desire 510 is listed but as a lg volt owner i know scripts need to be updated regularly.
advice given is always a good thing.
token retrival complete using program no issues!

I am going to give my sister my Hero when I get my EVO and I was asking her if she wanted me to keep it rooted and keep the roms up to date and she said yes. When I give her my hero and she takes it to sprint to have them port her # over to it will they have to ruu it to do that or will they just leave the phone alone and punch a few things in on their kiosk things to change the #. Thanks for the help!
Crap. I was perusing the general thread and still though I was over there. Mods please move this to general. Thanks and sorry for my stupidity.

Just demand that they keep it at 1.5; they won't have to RUU, they'll just have to essentially "reactivate" it.
No it doesn't matter if it's rooted at all.
I'm mailing it to her and she isnt the most tech savvy person so she wouldnt know at first if they RUUed it or not because I'm running a 2.1 rom. Im just wondering what they would do if you brought it in and didnt say anything and wanted them to activate it on your number.

They can't say nothing why don't you just call in and just do it for her?

I would but I dont really know what I'm doing with phone activation stuff. Only time I've dealt with activating phones is when they are brand spankin' new so I dont really know how activating an old phone or someone elses phone on your number is. Sorry for my lack of knowledge and general noobness on this subject.
Or activate it from sprints website..
Activating by phone is incredibly easy.
If you've switched your EVO to your line already, it's really going to be a matter of her calling and asking to have a swap performed. They'll ask for the imei/esn, possibly have her use an unlock code to reprogram it (although last time I didn't even have that) and then reboot.
Takes about 3 minutes and the service person will tell her what to do step by step.
Just make sure to specify that this is a SWAP and not an upgrade.
Ok sweet. I figured it would be decently easy. Thanks for all the help guys
cant you activate the phone online using the esn if so that would be the easiest way to activate it for her

so how did it work for you?
I have moved his over to the appropiate section and copied and pasted my question.
I am new to this forum and apologize for my noobness in advance as i wasn't sure either to post this here or in the Android Software and Hacking General section and i appreciate any comments as i understand i am new here and have contributed nothing to this forum. Here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a t mobile g1 from a friend about two weeks ago because i was interested in the android OS. Being in the UK it is locked to the T-mobile network which my existing sim is orange. I understand that there was a developers ROM that was released (codenamed holiday (adp 1.1)) which allows other networks to be used on the g1 e.g orange etc as its a developer version. I was wondering what compatible ROMS for the g1 (htc dream) that would allow me to use my orange sim. Again i really do appreciate nay comments and help i receive and understand i have not contributed to this community and it is highly rude to ask for something when given nothing.
Changing the ROM on your device will not unlock it so that you can use it on any network. You need to get an unlock code for your device. T-Mobile US will give these out to their subscribers but I don't know about your carier. If they don't you can get it online too. They will need your phone's IMEI to generate the code. Just put in the new SIM and it will prompt you for the code regardless of the ROM you have.
isnt there such a thing as a hardware unlock though if i use a custom rom?. I brought this phone from a friend so i doubt phoning t-mobile will help get me a code.
p.s. cheers for taking the time to comment
No, I'm fairly sure the only way to unlock this device is what I posted above.
i thought you just needed a t-mob sim to login and then you were free to choose after this whole rooting/flashing thing.
its already a long time ago, so i might confuse a lot and its only that what i think to know. nothing sure..
i wanted an android phone and my friend was saying i culd get his off him and i thought that be a perfect time to get into the android os and stuff, i wasnt ure if i coulld by rooting/flashing that id be able to use another network thats why i wondered if i flashed it to a deveopler rom the adp1 one i could us another sim, i will look into the method beav_35 put but im not sure on any reputable sites to trust to do this method.
I'm completely new to HTC, but not Android (so that's N00b status again), and I have a Developer's Edition coming tomorrow. I'm assuming that I will not need to bother with the process of unlocking the bootloader via htcdev due to it (supposedly) being already. My next issue is, will I be able to root/s-off/supercid using the most common methods mentioned (HSoon's toolkit, etc.) in the threads here? Some of them are dated, and it does look like they are trying to keep devs on their toes with this one. Also, any advice for what carrier I should go with is MUCH appreciated. I'm leaning T-Mobile, but also hearing things about how their LTE bands are limited in the US right now. Again, I'm not trying to flash a custom rom (yet), I only want to completely unlock it, and I was wondering if I've left anything out. I've already got the SDK, the fastboot files, all that from the suggested threads, for sending any command codes I might have to. I guess I would just like to know if anyone's been in my shoes here, to let me know what to expect. Then again, the fun is in getting right, anyway, isn't it? Sorry if I rambled or my tech speak was off, but I think I've read up pretty well on this phone, and this is the night cap on the studying. Thanks to every one of you for reading and the time and knowledge you give us on this technology. -Mike
II've unlocked my phone already, root access. the whole 9. Phone only reads T-mobile sim card. Not my metropcs sim card. No GSM service. only CDMA. I've ran down so many forms. Every time I think i find something. Its just a troll that says he has it working but explains nothing. Shows nothing so the thread ust die. Can someone that has a working sprint HTC ONE on metropcs"call,text,internet,picture messaging,3g or 4g". Simply post what they did or even make a back up of your phone and post it so the rest of us can have the same privilege. Please do not send me a link to some thread that I've already been to. That gets rather annoying. hell if you can do it for me. I'll pay you. im on 4.3 bad boy sprint one sense 5.5 v1.3 PRI 4.38_003 PRL 01005.

Without trying to sound like a jag, you said you've done everything, but not once do you mention FLASHING TO METROPCS. You can unlock and setup the GSM stuff all day long and get no love. It has to be flashed to the carrier before it will work for it. There are quite a few places that offer that service, with guarantees, since you brought up paying. Makes sense to check them out. I saw a few while researching this, but you want no links so I'll let you do your own homework. BTW, I understand your frustration; the problem is, this phone CAN be made to work in the way you are looking for, but it isn't really designed to work that way, no matter what certain people or threads say. So, be aware that you are likely to be disappointed with the outcome anyway. From what I've read, expecting anything more than 3G and crappy data on GSM in the US is expecting too much. My penny and a half. Good luck!
Hey guys,
I picked up a couple of handsets from Cricket when I was down in the US and I'm trying to carrier unlock them for family members.
The HTC Desire 510 and 626s.
I know this is the 510 thread so I'll be asking my questions about it. I understood this phone comes in 32 and 64 bit variants. not sure how to tell but since it's the Cricket variant, it's supposed to be GSM capable which also, from some searching, leads me to believe it is carrier unlockable albeit differently than the sprint/metro versions
Searching these forums got me to bootloader unlocking, which I've done for both handsets, but this is not of much use to me as I won't be rooting or flashing custom ROMs.
cheers!

So my last question is, does anyone have relevant information on how to do this? has that been documented?
thanks a bunch!

I answered the post you made in the other thread and it would be easier if you just stick to one place with your questions.
