I'm going to test the JSPL. But I need someone to cook a rom. Is there anyone in the Whitestone community that knows how to cook? I'm looking for a stock verision of WinMo6.5 and Manila 2.6. The updated Manila is simply to see if the rom takes or is it's still the stock VZW rom. Thanks in advance.
Well looks like conflipper is back. So hope he can push to get HSPL. I can cook that EV kitchen, and upload a ROM. But will have to do it tomorrow.
SIM unlock¿?
Hi Im a noob here, so sorry if my question sounds stupid,
I recently bought a htc Imagio and had it flashed to cricket, and was wanting to use tmobile or cincinnati bell SIM with it, If I some how managed to put the stock whitestone rom it would the GSM part of the phone be unlocked?
You flashed it to CRICKET? Is it possible to flash it to SPRINT?

Yes it most certenlly is, although I would advise to have the SIM unlocked first, if you or you know someone who has been with verizon for more then 60 days have there account swiched to your phone then call verizons globel number and ask for the unlock code, then have the persons phone switched back to there old phone, then go to a unoffical sprint or cricket store and have then activate your phone on sprint, it should cost you 50 or so, good luck...
My incredible s is currently locked to Bell, I'm hoping to run it on Rogers and I was wondering if i can unlock it by rooting/debranding the phone.
Thanks!

Here is a thread that has all the information you may need. Once you gain S-Off you can certainly unbrand the phone and you may be able to SuperCID it to Sim unlock it too (no really sure about that as my Bell IncS was already unlocked when I bought it off EBay).

hmm check the bands rogers uses. I'm using one on telus, and before this I was using a rogers x10 on telus so I would say it should be fine
oh ok so rooting it will allow me to use it on other carriers? Revolutionary supports 2.28.666.3 right?
no you still have to sim unlock it..
rooting alone won't do that

there is some app in the dev section though I never tried it.
incsfree I think it's called?

it was only like 15 bucks I think
Hi everyone, I've been a following XDA for a while i've unlocked, rooted, flashed roms, etc., many times,
But this time i am not sure how to proceed. [I'm also a beginner... but I'm looking forward to contribute in the near future]
You see, I bought a Brand New Sprint Moto X , never been activated on any carrier, it arriving on Monday tops.
I already know how to unlock it, root it, and flash a custom rom.
but want to be able to unlock the gsm capabilities of the phone to use internationally, i know sprint offers this service but i don't qualify because i need to be 3 months in service whit them.
on the other hand i read in the General Section , in the model description:
XT1049 - Republic Wireless
XT1052 - European - Sim ?
XT1053 -T-Mobile US, Dev Ed
XT1055 - US Cellular - Sim ?
XT1056 - Sprint - Sim Unlocked
XT1058 - AT&T, Rogers, Claro, Movistar, Vivo, Oi, TIM - Sim Unlocked
XT1060 - Verizon - Sim Locked
What does it mean being "Sim Unlocked"
While i be able to use it on A GSM service (Mexico)
if not, could a posible solution be flashing the SFB for Telcel to my Sprint phone?
or will i just hard brick it?
Thank you very much for your attention.
Eddie
Didn't know the XT1053 was the Developer Edition, that's cool to know.
I'll be pending to this post.
Best

Sorry it won't work...at least not yet. But it appears you already found the relevant thread on SIM-Unlock for Sprint Moto X.

Its been tried. Flashing the SBF itself will work, but the phone will still be sim-locked and unusable on GSM.

I understand now, reading a lot on the other threads and in other sites it now undrstand that sim unlock cannot be done unless i have service for 3 months or a fix comes [hopefully soon].
thank you.
just before we close this thread..
what if i flash an SFB of a CDMA carrier here, will it work? or will i have to reprogram the phone [ using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-flash-sprint-moto-x-to-page-plus-t2732342 but using my cdma carrier PRL) ????
is this the right place to post this last question?

Eddie,
Yes, you will need to follow the instructions in the "Flash Sprint Moto X to Page Plus" thread. You will need to change some of the steps as appropriate to YOUR carrier you are flashing to since not all steps will be the same as flashing to "Page Plus". Flashing a CDMA Rom will not work. AFAIK, the only other CDMA ROM available is the Verizon one which prevents you from being able to flash to another carrier. Does anyone know of any others?
Good Luck

Which Rom section Can I use then to flash the Canadian version ? Tmobile, Att, ?
you say that
"It is also sim unlocked, so it can be used with any Canadian carrier."
I have a roger version, seems to be locked. So if I root and flash this will unlock the sim carrier?
thank you

Odd my Bell one is unlocked, I popped in my buddy's Rogers sim with no issue.
Also says it's unlocked on the box.... I'll post a picture when I get home.

Rooting will not Carrier Unlock your device - Flashing a Custom Rom will not Carrier Unlock your device - Either pay Rogers $50 after 3 months - or go to sammobile.com - They offer a Carrier Unlock service.

I had problems with a tmobile rom so i used your steps with the stock NJ3 Wind rom. However the file turned out to be a Bell Rom. My csc even says BMC when i check it. My signal hasn't been as good on this stock rom.
Any chance you know where i can find the actual Wind rom that came with the phone?

Mine definitely is, and came out the box that way. I've adjusted the OP to omit the sim unlock given that its inconsistent.

Firstly getting them from sammobile wont change a thing; the files provided are the same.

Now to clarify, unlike the US or the rest of the world; all the carriers in Canada use the same rom.
Meaning no matter if you have wind, bell, telus, rogers etc its all the same modem, kernel, recovery, and system.
Its all N910W8, so there cannot be a modem/signal difference.
And for proof here is a list of MD5's checksums for the files I provide and what sammobile provides:

It was the exact same with the Note 3; we only get one ROM.
So I am going to change the OP to reflect this fact and only provide 1 set of files with instructions on how to change your CSC.
Boom done problem solved.

So this confirms that any bell, Rogers or tells phone can be unlocked to work on the AWS networks such as wind or chatr? I have done a ton of research and could not find the AWS bands on bells info but have seen both model numbers on bells, winds, etc. As N910W8
Has anyone had luck unlocking even though a company?

I'm going to say yes given that they are all N910W8 and all running the same rom.
But I haven't tested it personally; buddy at work has wind, I will try his sim in my phone next week and report back.
I recently purchased a factory unlocked T Mobile GS6. I intend to use it on Cricket. I don't expect to have any problems with that, but will I have problems flashing roms? Can I flash G920T roms?
Thanks in advance
Cricket uses the AT&T Network not T-Mobile

They overlap. An unlocked T-Mobile phone will work on cricket or ATT. I am not concerned about that. I am trying to find out, primarily, if I flash the MM rom for the 920T, will it 'lock' my phone?
