How to unlock HTC Imagio for AT&T

Hello Folks,
I need help! can anyone plz guide me on how to unlock HTC Imagio for AT&T or anyother GSM network?
P.S- Im not verizon customer

If you are a Verizon customer just call global support and tell them you are going overseas or out of the country and need to unlock your SIM. They will give you a code to enter. Go to settings, all settings, security, enter the code then you can use any SIM from any provider.
It is really that simple.

Hmmm CDMA phone will work in GSM network?
EDIT: I guess it does! Thats neat...

The Imagio is a "Global Phone" meaning it has both a SIM and does both CDMA and GSM. I have already used mine in Lebanon by using a local provider's SIM lent to me by a relative. Because of the way over-hyped and over-rated Droid the Imagio seems to have been passed by, but it truly is an incredible device.

I would say you are out of luck. You can try the pay service listed below, but most are dubious at best. Why would you have a Verizon phone but not be a Verizon customer? Unless you purchased it unlocked, it would be pretty useless.
You could try putting a SIM card from another carrier in it and see if it works.

[Q] Droid 2 Global/Pro - unlocking?

Does anyone know if it will be possible to unlock the Droid 2 Global or Pro? I know they are CDMA devices by default but as they also have WCDMA SIM cards I would love to use this unlocked on WCDMA networks. I know some BB's on Verizon (and previously on Bell/Telus) were sold like this and unlocked so I'm guessing theoretically possible, but is it likely???

Hi that would be great so when I travel to EU I would just put a pre-paid SIM inside and avoid any Roaming charges.
Does anyone know? Maybe installing Cyanogen will unlock it?

Yes, I just unlocked my D2 Global yesterday. Call VZW Global Support and they will give you the unlock code as long as your line has been active with no late payments for at least 6 months.
There are still some kinks though because when I put in my foreign SIM and scanned for local GSM networks, nothing came up. Others on various forums have reported this issue as well. I'm hoping it's just that this happens while in the USA, but I'm waiting to see if anyone else can shed some light on it.

Hi I think you need to turn off CDMA and turn on GSM.

I wish that were the case lol. It turns out VZW may have somehow restricted access to the 850/1900 MHz GSM/UMTS bands, even though the device has the hardware to support them.

Q: Because it has two unlock codes. One unlocks any Sim card, the second code will be prompted only if the Sim card is not of any US carriers. Thanks

[Q] got a d3 today but issues about country

hi today my bro purchased a d3 which is not activated its a verizon one....so the seller told him that he can activate the phone from his verison sim and then ask them the unlock code to use it outside of usa...
so my bro is gona send me that phone to india so is it gona work or we screwd up lol...
or is there any possible way to make phone work phone is stil in usa and now what shold be done ?hope it works in india

What GSM frequencies does your carrier use? I think the only restrictions on GSM are US carriers/
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

freq
GSM 900 5 carriers
GSM 900/1800 these i found from google.. here i phone 4 works
and the bands of i phone 4 and d3 are nearly similar i think
i phone 4 -GSM/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA 850/900/1900/2100
d3-GSM 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) HSDPA 850/1900/2100
i hope it works...
and one more thing the phone which my bro has is still inactive the seller told tat he called up verizon and took unlock code and inserted it in phone but m not sure he did ....becoz if he did then how is phone still unactivated so m kinda so confsued...hope some one explains me...

I'm going to assume you are not in the U.S. due to your English. If your local carrier has provided you a SIM card, just plug it in the Droid 3 and see if it works.
If the phone is locked for foreign carrier and requires an unlock by Verizon, then you're screwed because you won't be able to call Verizon to unlock it for you (being that you're not in U.S. and not a Verizon customer).
As for calling Verizon to activate the phone, that's for Verizon customers in the U.S.

i dont have the phone yet my bro will receive in two days.and then he will send me. so how can he check weather its unlocked or not?...the seller told us tat he have put up the unlock code and even has given the unlock code...
but i doubt becoz the phone is not yet activated...the phone is still in shipping my bro will receive it in 2-3 days....
so my questions are
1)what sim card should he use to check there in usa
2)the phone is not activated so is it necessary that my brother activate that phone with his number? or without activation can a phone be used with a gsm service sim card.....
3) and i am confused can a phone be unlocked without phone being activated?

1) Phone will not work on GSM in USA no matter what SIM card you put in. Your brother must really try to unlock it before he sends it over to you since some cannot be unlocked without Verizon providing the code and you may be stuck with a non-unlockable phone (useless). Get your brother purchase unlock code online and try it (by inserting any non-Verizon sim card inside). If phone unlocks you are good to go. If code doesn't work, he either needs to have it activated on a non-new postpaid account that has been in good standing for at least 60 days and request Verizon to provide the unlock code, or to return the phone and try another one.
2) no activation is needed if you are going to use the phone on GSM outside USA
3) phone can be unlocked without being activated with Verizon, but this might be a tough thing to do since Verizon altered intentionally unlock code of some of the handsets.

He should use an international SIM card to check.

I can't tell you if activation is needed. I've had an iPhone 4S (Verizon) unlocked, but it was already activated when I proceeded. Verizon did require me to tell them the phone number for the phone I wanted to unlock, so it might have to be activated.

This seems to be same question as #2.
I called Verizon and told them I wanted to unlock my wife's iPhone 4S for use in Taiwan. They forwarded me to the global department, and the rep told me to hold on the line while he unlocks the phone.
After he said it was unlocked, I tried my wife's sister's international SIM card in the phone. The phone didn't ask for an unlock code, but the SIM card did, since the sister had set a code. She knew the code though, and after putting it in, the SIM was accepted. We won't know if it's for sure working until she brings the phone to Taiwan, but it appears to be working.

I think that goes away if you put in a SIM card.

Foreign sim card

Hey guys,
I was unlocking my Droid 3 (got code from Verizon) for when I go to Poland this weekend. I put in an old prepaid sim card I had from my last trip to unlock it, and somehow I have 3g etc? My verizon sim is not even in the phone. How is that possible?

Verizon does not use the SIM to their own network - the phone connects using CDMA, which doesn't use SIM cards. The SIM is used to connect using GSM networks when CDMA networks (either Verizon or one that they have a roaming agreement with) are not available, or if you change the mobile network to GSM.

That is strange...so the verizon sim in there is just for global roaming?

That's right. I think, but I'm not 100% sure, that you can store contacts there, if you wish, as well.

Stupid question, did you switch it to GSM?

hi, sorta of non related but, i'm looking to buy a D3 to use here on GSM networks, the frequencies matches those i'll be using here.
but about the unlock codes, are those sold online working, or there are still some units that no code works? i was reading thru some topics about that and i'm worried....
thanks!

Use unlock4moto.com if you do. Some are but I haven't seen many reports lately.

I just used them a couple of weeks ago and the unlock code they sent me was perfect.
I think that the only issue would be if somebody had tried to unlock successfully - if you enter an incorrect code enough times, the phone will no longer allow you to unlock. The cost at unlock4moto.com was very reasonable, though ($6 US, IIRC).

Yup, I can confirm that - unlocked mine about 1 month ago. Worked first time - now using a Verizon Droid3 in Ireland with HSPA on 3

Question about Using an Unlocked Sprint LG G6 on Tmobile

Hello XDA,
Do we know if we are able to flash the firmware of another carriers to the LG G6? I remember we were able to do that with the S6/S7 so that Wifi Calling and VoLTE would be fixed for users on Tmobile using an unlocked phone (Sprint unlocked phone etc). Since they had the same physical hardware.
I'll be getting a Sprint LG G6 from my job but I have tmobile, I can get it unlocked thats not a problem, but I need Wifi Calling to work. Has anyone tried to flash another carriers firmware on their LG G6 // do we know if they are the same hardware wise? Thanks in advance guys!

Is Sprint using GSM now?

The devices have been GSM capable since the S3. NVTOOLs usually has some flags you can flip to enable the bands/radio. Of course it needs to be clean ESN with Sprint, and internationally unlocked from Sprint.

Does any one know what i need to do to get my sprint lg g6 working on other carriers sprint says its unlocked but when i put at&t sim card in it does not register

Did Sprint just say it's unlocked or did they give you a code? From what I know they are suppose to give an unlock codes for Android devices and for iPhones they just unlock them. Your phone is suppose to prompt you when you put a different carrier SIM in and once you out that code in your permanent unlocked.
Can anyone second this?

I wouldn't trust Sprint. They need to give you the unlock code. I found someone to pay to do it. There are very few.
