IPhone :: Use Tmobile Unactivated Sim Card Just To Proceed With The Unlocking Procedure
Jun 24, 2012
I'm trying to unlock my Iphone 4 version 5.1.1, I have an OK from AT&T to unlock, the question is Can I use Tmobile unactivated sim card just to proceed with the unlocking procedure?
It's still good and I cannot use it now I have moved to New Zealand from the UK, because it is locked to Orange - who can afford Orange roaming NZ to UK! I cannot afford a new phone either, anyway I like this one. I have heard all about unlocking procedures and they sound a bit scary. What do I do?
So I purchased a new AT&T sim card online just for the purpose of viewing AT&T's coverage on my tour. When I put the unactivated sim card into my tour and switch it to GSM mode, I get the sos symbol. This card has been activated under prepaid but I believe the activation ran out since I never bothered to add money to account. I just wanted to see how AT&T's signal compared to Verizon's. My question is does the Sim card have to be activated for you to be able to view the carriers signal? My Tour is unlocked.
My husband purchased me an unlocked IPhone 4S. My sim card from my current cell phone is too large to fit in my new Iphone. My current cell phone carrier is Tmobile. Should I go to the tmobile store and purchase a smaller Sim card?
A friend of mine has an older iPhone (I'm guessing it's an 'original' iPhone,running iOS 3.1.3, using his ex's PUK card, but I could be wrong about that).He's using his ex's card because he inadvertently locked his original card sometime ago and forgot his password. Is there a way he can get it unlocked, possibly using a 'generic' "universal" password so he doesn't have to use his ex's 3G card (supposedly, his old PUK was a 4G)? He's used quite a few of the attempts he has to unlock it so far and only has perhaps 2-3 more tries before the car locks permanently.
I have a sprint iPhone 4. And I haven't activated it yet. I want to use iMessage but its stuck on 'Waiting for activation' and 'verifying on my number' how do I get it to work? It works, if I receive a iMessage I can reply back, but I want to send one out it's stuck on Text Message.
I have a Tmobile branded BB 8520 unlocked and i put a att sim card in it. I have a data plan with att. It only shows small edge on the top by the service bar 'edge' I want to make the bb messenger work on this phone.
I have an unactivated Blackberry 9650. I popped the tmobile sim card that was in my blackberry 9700 into the unactivated 9650 and forced it to 2g. I can call and sms but no data services.
I have two questions:
1. Do I have to tweak the settings?
2. Would this work if the blackberry 9650 was activated on the sprint now network?
I was a day 1 Android phone user and found features that were lacking. I did wait and now the Android is a real workhorse.For the tablet, I should have know as well. My question is not so much the hardware. I can wait for SD card & 4G LTE. My main issue is that that major content providers are ignoring Honeycomb and the Xoom. I regularly watch news sites. When I saw the majors launching the iPad app, I though the Xoom was right behind it. Nothing on the horizon.How can we get the developers to port to Xoom? I can get my eMail on the Android. I don't want video feeds on the Android, rather the Xoom.
I know you are being pounded with questions about the update. So I will pile on and ask another! I have a Verizon branded 3G Xoom purchased from Motorola on the first day available. I have not activated the Verizon service and use the Xoom on Wi-fi only. My question is I have the airplane mode on with just the wi-fi radio on. Does this affect the update? The unit will more than likely look like a wi-fi only device to the update servers?
I am trying install Ovi Suite onto my PC at work so I can get back up and running again, after upgrading my Nokai handset. However the product fails to install. I keep getting the message: Initializing Failed. Unable to proceed with the installer execution My operating system is Win XP (SP3). What's the story?
I have a jailbroken & unlocked (used RedSn0w) 3G running 3.0 that I want to upgrade to either 3.1 or 3.1.2 so I can run a couple of applications which require 3.1 or higher. I've searched around and haven't found what I consider straight forward information. So my question is do I use the Pwnage tool to modify a 3.1.2 firmware and then restore from that, then use RedSn0w to unlock again? If I use the Pwnage tool to create a custom IPSW, do I tell it to activate or not? If TheLatinist has any tutorials/stickies on this, please let me know.
what happens when I receive my shinny new iPhone 4?
I currently have the iPhone 3G and of course lots of apps, videos, music, contacts and so on.
I pre-ordered the iPhone 4 for delivery, So, when the new phone arrives, do I sync my old iPhone 3G and then plug in the new iPhone 4 and restore from the iPhone 3G backup?
I am asking because I don’t want to screw-up the new phone when I get it.
Has anybody had any success with at&t unlock procedure on a phone without a SIM? I upgraded to a 4S from a 3GS, and I'm trying to unlock the 3GS after receiving the unlock eligibility confirmation email from AT&T, get "unable to activate" message upon restore. Also, have seen some threads about recieving a "unlock code via email" from AT&T - but I did not get such an email. My old 3GS does not have a SIM - its been a iTouch since the upgrade
With my pending delivery for tomorrow, I was wondering if someone can either help point me to or provide a detailed step by step procedure in the deactivation of my 3gs to the activation of my 4.
I believe I want to restore my 4 with my current 3gs settings in order to save everything; I am also giving my 3gs to another non iphone user on my family plan so I need to wipe my 3gs and get it ready to be activated by them.
Any help in either providing these directions or pointing me to them.

I recently had my XPeria Z2 fixed after 10 months of it having a cracked screen and not working. So when I finally tried to update to the latest software it turned off and now the red LED light comes on, the Sony start screen shows up and then I get a message saying the update failed.Â
I've seen that this has happened to a lot of people and it's been fixed with repairing the phone through Sony Bridge for Mac, and I've tried countless times to repair it but the connection procedure (connecting the cable and holding the volume - button) does not work at all.Â

What is the procedure for clearing the memory on a CK-100 car kit? My phone pairs with car kit but wont connect.My phone is Samsung galaxy ace was previously connecting on original galaxy ace but since had replacement this wont connect.
Any thoughts on whether its worth the extra money to buy the 3G versus 2G when I am only using it for the phone and apps? There difference is about $200 for an unlocked 2G versus $330 for a 3G. I also have several apps programs that I used on my ipod touch that I will use on the iphone.
I am running Ovi Suite on Windows 7 Home 64-bit and keeps on crashing. when i open it i get a message that says sth like "Ovi stopped working. windows: there is a problem that prevents the programme from working properly" etc. (i'm translating from italian). Full stop. Nothing more, nowhere to click. There is no error message.I saw this thread (/t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/Ovi-Suite-keeps-on-crashing-version-2-2-0-245/td-p/730687) and tried to follow the procedure but this does not apply to my case because:
1) there is no such thing like a window dialog suggesting "Check online for a solution and close the program" AND "close the program".
2) there is no such thing like "View problem details" etc.
Do you know how to fix this problem and/or give me a link where I can download a former Ovi Suite version that works properly?
What is your best procedure for backing up and restoring apps, data, settings, call history, wifi settings, SMS/MMS, vpn settings, etc. while upgrading ROMs or totally wiping the phone and switching from one custom ROM to a different one?
Do you use HTC sync? cloud? HTC backup app? Titanium? adb backup command? copying files directly to PC?
What tools to use to backup/restore all things in the phone...
