5 Steps to unlock your HTC Inspire 4g (AT&T) Phone!

It isn’t hard really!

If your like me, you really don’t want to pay to unlock your used AT&T Phone but yet your not one to do it yourself. This is going to be a simple way to unlock it and be able to use any SIM you might want to use with that phone. I’ve recently done it and it really wasn’t as hard as I thought. You will need a few things and thus these steps are ESSENTIAL!  If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, you can always either pay to have unlocked or go buy an Unlocked HTC Inspire 4g phone [Amazon Affiliate] or Buying the Unlock Code [Affiliate Link] for it!!  I have done this and it works just fine as long as you follow the Effen Manual.  Yes I know it sounds like a cuss word, not my idea.

The Five Steps: 

  • Either Find a USB to Micro B Cable or buy it [Amazon Affiliate]!
  • Read the Manual — You can check it out and get the idea of what you will need to do but it is a MUST!
  • Download the File — You can find that right after the Manual.   Make sure to figure out which system you will use to do this with though.
  • Windows USERS — If your using Windows you will need to remove all possible interferences.  So you will need to stop Antivirus Software, and other such software.   I recommend creating a Boot LINUX with Ubuntu on it to do this.  Just make sure you have the file that you just downloaded on to the USB Drive. [The instructions for this in the manual!]
  • Plug in you phone and Run the Program — After you have verified that you can access the SD card, you should be able to run the program.   Let it run for a while, it will reboot several times.   It only took me like 20 mins if I remember correctly.

 

Nothing in the Manual is hard!

If you follow the manuals instructionns like I did, you will probably have no problems.   I can’t say that you are going to be successful.   You may brick your phone but if you are patient and keep trying you are more likely to succeed than fail.   If your looking to save money by switching to another provider you can always try Straight Talk, which still go through AT&T but only pay 45$ a month for Unlimited everything plan!  They even sell you sim card to use with you Unlocked Cell phone.   I don’t know if you can use a Locked AT&T Phone with them but you can always call them to verify it.
