Unlocking XV6700

Vietone, :welcome: to WA!

Sorry to say that you will not be able to unlock your VX and use it on T-Mobile. Verizon & T-Mobile use different technologies so their phones are not compatible with each others networks. The best thing to do is to sell your VX and use that money to buy the T-Mobile phone/PPCyou want.

 

What are you trying to accomplish by connecting to your computer?

 

As far as pictures go, all you need is activesync. If activesync isn't recognizing your 6700 just unplug the usb cable and uninstall activesync, then install activesync again then plug your 6700 in again. Activesync should then install everything needed to sync with your 6700.

I don't know what you will need to use your 6700 as a modem. I would think if you have XP the correct divers will be their, and you would just need the connection settings. You may want to search Verzion's site for them and they may just have a tutorial on how to set it up.

 

You are not stupid! Their is a lot to learn with a pdaphone like the 6700. I am still learing things every day looking through forums like this.

Glad you got it working, wm5 dose need 4.0 or higher.

 

I was just told today by verizon the 6700 can not be used as a modem. (see post on "XV6700 modifications and tools") did you get it to work as a modem?

 

Would it work with a verizon phone on a Sprint service? Both services have this same phone, if you unlocked the verizon phone could it be used on sprint?

Ok let me clear up a handful of things, first of all Unlocking is a term used for GSM based phones so the Sim cards from other carriers will work, the problem here is not that it has to be "unlocked" it's a question of whether the other carrier will activate your phones ESN (electronic serial number) on their network. Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel are slightly fickle on whether they will activate another companies branded product.

This is a good question in regards to sprint and verizon who both carrier the HTC Apache (XV6700 PPC6700) as both carrier branded models are actually the same phone Sprint should be able to support it without question, the question comes into play on if they will. I would suggest calling sprint and seeing what they say.

 

Both Sprint & Verizon will not activate a phone/device from another carrier, peroid. Even if they did activate the phone you would then have to hack the phone's OS to be able to use the various services from that company. CDMA networks are not as universal as GSM networks. So doing these hack would be very hard unless you had a contact at HTC.

 

I have this phone and is currently setup for Verizon as well. Is there a way to get it to work for Alltel? If so how?

 

No, if you had read the previous replies, the alltel version differs from the Verizon. If you had access to the Alltel flash and knew how to remove the manufacturer lock it's feasible, but Alltel may still not activate it due to the ESN.

 

hello all. new to the forum and a friend just recently gave me his xv6700 because he got a new phone from verizon. i'm currently with a different carrier (att) but i love this phone. i'm using it right now for its wifi capabilities and using it for it's pda functions (calendar, notes, memo, etc.).

i know the xv6700 isn't compatible with alltell and sprint. i'm guessing that goes the same for att?

also, is there a website i can go to in order to download active sync? one of the messages from above has a guy downloading activesync to his laptop. i'd like to do that same for my xv6700.

thanks.

 

Welcome to WA thenewrecruiting.

The VX6700 is a CDMA mobile handset and will not work with AT&T'S GSM network.

Here is the link to download Activesync 4.5 directly from Microsoft's website.
Download Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 Software – Microsoft Windows Mobile (You will need to purchase a data cable, if you don't already have one).

 

thanks. that's a big help. i did just purchase the data cable. any other helpful free sites for the 6700 would be greatly appreciated.

 

There are a ton of sites that are helpful, varying from Simple to so advanced only programmers understand the topic of discussion. See what you come up with when you google "HTC Apache"

 

i also want to unlock my old xv6700 and want to use it has a version prepaid phone...

 

is it the same xv6700 you posted about before?

 

yes... the phone belong to my bros girl... and they have one line... that is her phone...that is the problem

 

I'm so scared to unlock anything. Worried that I will ruin an expensive phone.

 

When it comes to CDMA phones (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, and USCellular), unlocking is pointless.

Unlocked phones work best with GSM carriers.

Since you have Verizon, you wouldn't have to worry about unlocking your phone anyway.

 

Hey bro, i need help. I have this xv6700, i am currently using US Cellular. But this phone is verzion, can i recode(reformat) what ever that can make this verizon xv 6700 now able to connect with my current provider US Cellular. And if so would you know how i can achieve this. Before u answer let me tell u i am ignorant to about anything you might suggest. So be gentle with your knowledge and expression of actions if you choose to offer any LOL thanks in advance bro..

 

Hello orionsway, welcome to WA. Unfortunately you are out of luck, the Verizons phones cannot be made to work with USCC. I hope you don't mind me replying instead of Mike.

Actually, I can help with this!!! If you have a Smart phone I can get you a pre-programmed card for any CDMA provider you like... Simply call the provider or go online and change the ESN...

 

What if I just want to use my old VX-6700 from Verizon at Barnes and Noble, McDonalds ect.
The phone is no longer active, I use it as a PDA, so I carry it and was hoping if I needed directions or so I could use it. Otherwise I'll have to use my kids Sony DS. LOL
