Unlocker finally releasing

- license: you will just have to run the program on the PC with phone connected, normally you will not notice anything about the licensing.
- sim unlocker: 10.5GBP for those who didn't contribute in the community (by donation or by other help such as hacks, tweaks, roms, etc)
and no, the sim unlocker will not be posted in this thread, it'll be hosted elsewhere
- sprint US networks: it needs more than sim unlock but we already solved it in theory, implementation is in progress

stay tuned... please don't post crap here, mods will clear it anyway


edit: PLEASE DO NOT PM ME FOR TESTING, as I'll be away for a few hours
ATTENTION: This is strictly a poll to gauge how the entire TP2 community feels about the SIM Unlocker coming out from Elite Team. PLEASE DO NOT POST INFLAMMATORY COMMENTS OR DERAIL THIS. This is a poll which allows users to "voice" their opinion without all the whining and controversy associated with all the other multiple threads that have been shut down, etc. Please give your opinion with a vote in the poll. The question is Do you think that that people should be able to download ONE free SIM Unlocker for use on that one phone ? (could still be licensed /registered to avoid bulk usage)


I do not want to get banned nor do i want to incite a riot, I am glad the HSPL is finally going to get released. I am wondering what changed ?? Earlier posts said the HSPL unlocker would be normal, free and available to use as many times as needed on a phone, which is cool. But I thought I also read that it had already been tested and was just waiting on licensing servers , but I see it looks as if it is undergoing more testing. And I thought the SIM unlocker was going to be free for one use but that it was the bulk users that were going to be charged.(see EDIT) I guess I WAS WRONG I am not trying to derail anyone's hard work, but i am trying to get a pulse on everyone's feelings about this considering all the turmoil that has been going on about the much anticipated release.

EDIT: I agree that Cmonex has been consistent and acknowledge that the posts from her have said "SIM unlocker: not free except for contributing members which doesn't mean financial contribution (though that's fine too)." I believe I saw someones post who may have misquoted her saying that there was a plan to give one SIM unlock for free, and require payment from mass SIM unlockers, so I want to make sure this correction edit is here.I understand the Sim Unlocker will not be "free" according to posts given from the horse's mouth. There has been much heresay on this issue. This poll just wants to see how the majority feels. I think some people do care what Joe Blow, Mary Blow, and Joe Schmoe actually think. Again, this is not meant to be inflammatory but I thought a poll would be easier way to gauge the community's feeling without having to have another controversial thread talking about complaining , etc. Please do not direct inflammatory comments or complain or try to pass judgement, just take the poll , that is good enough. Just trying to get an impartial survey on what the TP2 community thinks.

Don't know where ya been, but what cmonex said is pretty consistant with what has been said the last 3 days or so, HSPL good for 1 phone, can PM for more. Sim unlocker was going to cost a small amount if you didn't donate. Just a way to somewhat protect her work from people profiting off it. Im sure they're doing private testing to make sure when it's released it isn't going to brick any of our phones. I don't mind them playing this cautiously as these devices are not cheap.

Re: Unlocker finally releasing

Yeh, cmonex has been saying this the whole time through.

So do they sell US pre-paid sim cards that we can use from at&t or another gsm carrier or, do you need to have an account with another carrier in order to take advantage of this????

I don't get it, I don't care about the sim unlock on my sprint, I want just HSPL. But she says that since I'm on sprint I need to have a sim unlocked anyway? why? or did I misunderstand?

I'm on a diff boat than most. I couldn't care less about hspl. I'm very satified with my stock rom and probably won't be upgrading until the official htc 6.5 one is released.

I am however very interested in the sim unlock for us carrier use. That's what I've been waiting for and I'd gladly pay the 20-30 bux.

How much of this came from the horses mouth? How much was here say in the community?
There's your answer... and you shouldn't expect anything for free but obviously by the poll above many do... leaches.

If your going to say that cmonex or olipro made statements provide links.
