Hi, my samsung galaxy s 2 recently broke and I'm planning on using my old phone until my galaxy is repaired. I have my old htc incredible s, but the only problem is that it's locked to Virgin Mobile and I'm with Fido now. How do I unlock my phone so that I can use my Fido sim card on it?

Contact Virgin Mobile and ask them for the SIM unlock code. If they will not provide you with it, then you will have to resort to one of the paid services that will sell you an unlock code.
Are you certain it's network locked? From my experience Virgin generally don't lock their devices - I've had a few different phones from them and they've never been network locked.

In Canada, Virgin Mobile is owned by Bell mobility, and these phones are locked. Without unlocking the phones the only sims which can be used, are those from Bell and Virgin.
HI everyone,
i bought HTC Desire 510 from virgin Mobile US, but i lived in Dubai and want to use his phone here. whenever i put local sim it show invalid sim. is their any way to use local sim card in this phone. Please Senior member and xda devs reply this thread.
thank you
Your phone is locked to Virgin Mobile so your going to have to get it carrier unlocked before you can use any other carrier. You can do this by paying Virgin Mobile to do it or there are various online sources that can unlock it also for a small fee. I'm also not sure about the frequencies that the phone runs on in the USA vs Dubai so it may have issues with that. Good luck.
CDMA htc's are very easy to unlock. Check htc one m8 and m7. But it must be rooted first. So far, no root method has been detailed. So just chill

I think you can unlock your htc 510 using MSL CODE
HTC Desire 510 Virgin USA
Hi there,
I wish to know if you guys would suggest some methods or tweaks that I can use to HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile.
This is a no contract phone with Virigin Mobile USA.
I purchased an unlock code from another service provider online. Followed the steps. When I insert another active sim card, it does not prompt me to enter the Unlock Code and the phone keeps saying Invalid Sim.
Would you guys be able to help.

Hello!
I've activated the phone by standart Boostmobile way:
Enable wifi, connect to internet,
found at google the Boostmobile's page for activating new phones,
entered where two codes from phone paper box, enter my info (names, emails, etc), paid minimal possible amount of money (10 usd), received email from BoostMobile
with my new US telephone Boostmobile number and account pin, several codes, including MSL...
After reboot, the phone said that he is activated now, setuped voicemail, installed some updates (all it via WiFi), changes wallpaper...
But now I don't know where MSL enter to.
And I still not sure what my Boostmobile HTC Desire 510 phone have GSM-compatible radio...
I've wrote to Boostmobile support about using MSL and connecting to europian GSM networks, they answered something about - "wait for 11th Februaury 2015, we'll something about unlocking..."
So, now where isn't a solution.

I've found some engineer's menus, where phone asks for MSL codes, and it suites.
For example , # # 3282 #
But I still don't know where is menu for unlocking SIM slot for using with GSM networks.

I have got this phone from US and it is locked on Virgin network.
Rite now i am trying to unlock this phone in India but this is not activated , is there any way I can get MSL code
Getting the MSL Code is fairly easy. Root your phone and download the Get MSL app. Run it and BOOM! you will have your MSL.
Its possible that it doesn't work in the first go. Run the app again and it should work.

This method worked for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239963
please were you able to unlock the HTC 510 via msl and how did you do that? I'm thinking buying this phone for my little sister and was wondering if it can be unlocked. I contacted an unlocking service provider who said if the phone doesn't ask for unlock code, then it's not possible to unlock it. I don't know if this is true.
