it's not as simple as getting a code from that site like it would be from verizon. It's a program you run on your pc like the hspl unlocker that unlocks your sim. If you do go that route you'll see what I am talking about.

Another alternative might be to have your pop activate the phone for an hour or so and call verizon while it's active on the accout.

o so that's what all those radio firmwares were for, ONLY if you choose to go via ccmonex's route of unlocking. that's y im hoping i can do it directly from verizon, that would be the easiest way but now i will need to see how i can activate the phone, cant i just call customer service or does the call need to be placed from the HTC?

i just called them, i asked for a sim code and gave them the old number/my dad's name...it didnt work. they asked for the person of interest, im guessing i'll need to ask my dad's company to call them up.

if that doesn't work, is the plan for cmonex's route of unlocking this...

1. buy the code from http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/
2. apparently it will send the "software to my email account", i'll use that
3. download the radio firmware named "1. 2.32.00WU (Sprint stock edited)" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=4850772
4. i should install all of the software required after ive hard resetted and removed afaria?
5. insert gophone sim card and im good to go?

bump for what? did you try the unlocker or what? there is a whole thread dedicated to it. why do we need to hold your hand through this? did you go to the unlocker thread? did you read some of it? id suggest starting at the first page and stopping when you feel comfortable just doing it. just go to the site. you pay, it pops up. follow instructions. its as easy as that...

as i said, im a really big noob for this stuff, ive lived in china before i moved to america and all we did was load up the phones prepaid then...use it. i just dont wanna go break a phone that isn't even mine (it was bought from the company and i dont know yet if they want it back after my dad's term is done in america, which will be in 2013).

so i just wanna make sure im following the right instructions. i asked my dad, he says he cant just go ask the ppl who bought the phone to call verizon so i guess i'll have to go via cmonex's route.

ik ppl like me can be annoying, im also a fairly active user on notebookreviews.com and i always see ppl just like me but that's how it is, you can always ignore the person if u dont wanna help but it means a big deal to the person who is asking a question if it's answered.

all im asking for before i continue, is that are these the correct steps i should precede with? as mentioned before, i dont wanna ruin a $400 phone cuz i assumed something and it turned out to be wrong.

1. start by hard-resetting, to remove the afaria software and give a clean install to the windows mobile PPC.
2. buy the code from http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/
3. apparently it will send the "software to my email account", i'll use that
4. download and flash the radio firmware named "1. 2.32.00WU (Sprint stock edited)" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=4850772
5. after everything is installed/flashed etc., insert the gophone sim, configure my settings into "GSM-network only" with AT&T, and i should be good to go?
the reason i ask so many questions is cuz i get baffled by all the threads i see, i see this "Hard-SPL" thread and the thread from step 4, i still dont know whether i need either, both or neither of these. ur help is greatly appreciated tho.

well all i need is a confirmation, are those the correct steps above? i already removed the afaria software, so that's outta the way and i think the whole "data service" problem wont be a hassle as i installed NoData.

ok, so the transaction is pending but i looked into the HSPL unlocker, which if i have it correct, is needed to use customs ROM files.

so my ROM version is 3.03.605.3 and i guess i want to upgrade to the latest version if possible, which i would still need to go find :D

im going to go install the HSPL unlocker program on my phone, should i do this AFTER ive done the radio flash (which i would do after the sim unlock..)? or can i just do it right now while waiting for the sim-unlock code to arrive?
