I will be buying an Unlocked HTC EVO 3D from USA.
I wanted to know if it will work in INDIA with a Vodafone sim.
Will i have any problems with any features of the phone(since the phone is unlocked). And can i upgrade the the software i mean from android 2.2 to anything i want? Will it get locked again after upgrading? Can it get bricked?
I need urgent reply as my sister is coming from the US and she has to order an unlocked phone. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

If it is a GSM EVO 3D and not a CDMA it will work with your sim.
I think it comes with 2.3, but you can always unlocked the bootloader and flash your own roms. Based on your question, I'm guessing you should not due to inexperience.
It should not relock if it unlocked, and any phone can be bricked if you do not know what you are doing.
Thanks a lot!!! I guess i will be buying the evo 3d gsm. P
Don't buy it from XDA member Jaywan
It should work but anyways you can always use the sim unlock method if it doesnt...

I would say make sure it is a generic gsm handset if not you could spend hours on the phone to the USA. Also don't know if it would be possible but try and check the IMEI with your service provider. I have spent many an hour explaining to people over the phone that there handset has no service because it's blacklisted.
Got my Amaze a couple days ago and im loving it! But im reading reports on HTCdev and not having a way to install custom roms by locking the bootloader. I came from a Xperia X10 and loved custom roms i looked through some here and they look even better, but this bummed me out is there any news on this? Im reading reports of work-arounds?
There's nothing we can do about it right now. The HTC Dev only has Amaze 4G - T-Mobile in it's list. I'm worried small networks like wind and mobilicity won't bother giving us that option.. I got mine from mobilicity for $499, I would've gotten it from telus if there wasn't much price difference.. Telus has more chances of getting added to the list..
For now I'm just wondering if anyone has some knowledge on this, can we change the CID (Carrier ID) on our wind, telus or mobilicity phones so that we can trick the htc dev website into thinking that it's a T-Mobile phone? jussayin'
the only way you can do that is by changing ur phone's IMEI but nobody gonna tell you how to do it because they end up in prison.

But what if I do it for a lilll bit of time and change it as soon as i unlock my phones bootloader and then revert it back to it's original IMEI. That shouldn't hurt anyone
the only way to change it to a tmobile cid would require having s-off so no such luck i would say sell the amaze that you have for what you can get or return it it just came out for wind and import a tmobile amaze it has penta band suport so it will do 4g on all the networks up there

Can't return it, got it in a promotion And I don't want to get into the hassle of selling and buying another again cause I sold Galaxy SII to get this phone added 100$ on top of that to get this So I'm outta of luck for now.
Do you think there's any chance there'll be a 2nd method of unlocking the bootloader in the future other than the official HTC method?
If you get the unlock code from Wind/Mobilocity and unlock it for any network you should have no problem selling it for $400+ on eBay or XDA Marketplace and being able to pick up a T-Mobile one unlocked for $420-$450.
I unlocked my Telus amaze even though it's "not supported". Have you tried?

I tried it tonight with the WIND variant of the Amaze 4G no go, like the others I cant return mine either so for the moment we are stuck hoping eventually HTCDev adds our version and mobilicity's to the list of supported devices. I have prodded them through all avenues I can think of who knows maybe if enough of us make a nuisance of ourselves they might take pity on us
One can still root the phone and install the clockworkmod and 3rd party rom.
how? isnt it just a temp root?
Amaze costs me 569 bucks because I bought it full price. That's with taxes, but yeah you could get like 450 bucks if you sell, its practically a new phone

I got my Amaze from a Telus customer for cheap. Used the HTCDev site and unlocked it without issue. Running great with Mobilicity now.
Is getting it unlocked the main issue people are having? Cause I have yet to install custom roms, but from what I can see I shouldn't have any issues?

Same here. Bought from someone on Telus unlocked and using on Mobi. I can install any rom.
I bought the htc amaze wind version from a guy on craigslist and it was already rooted and running energy rom
Edit: FFS, this was a dead topic. Please lock/close/something.

The way you worded it I thought it worked...then I saw the [Q]...
Hello all, would i be able to use the international HTC One X+ on AT&T in the US with no issues?
I would assume so. I use the International One X on AT&T in the US right now and the radios on the One X+ are supposed to be the same. In fact, I'm waiting on my UK One X+ to arrive so I can drop my AT&T SIM card in it and get rocking.

I don't think it will have support for LTE though
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
No, it won't have LTE support but it will have HPSA+ support and it'll be carrier unlocked so it all depends on what you want out of your One X+.
