Wizzup_ | exciting, chatting with verizon now to see if I can get my d4 activated with this prepaid verizon sim.. | 17:58 |
---|---|---|
maxwelld | omg | 17:58 |
Wizzup_ | brb | 18:08 |
Wizzup | looks like they don't support the phone | 18:49 |
Wizzup | they don't even know the imei :D | 18:49 |
bencoh | :] | 18:49 |
bencoh | they could just leak the bootloader signing key at this point ... | 18:49 |
bencoh | (not that the secure boot really bothers us at this point, but ....) | 18:50 |
uvos | verizon stopped activateing any non volte phones in 2016 and dropped all legacy customers in 2019 or so | 20:49 |
uvos | so no they wont activate a d4 | 20:49 |
uvos | at this point they cant even | 20:49 |
uvos | since the cdma network is gohne almost everywhere | 20:50 |
uvos | and d4's lte modem can not do voice | 20:50 |
uvos | in us d4 is 100% a brik | 20:50 |
uvos | bencoh: omap4 security dosent bother us | 20:51 |
uvos | but modem security dose, they could remove the carrier lock so that d4 can work on gsm networks in us | 20:51 |
uvos | but ofc no way they will ever do that | 20:51 |
Wizzup | uvos: I have owrking 2.5g here on bionic and n900 | 20:53 |
Wizzup | so I don't see why that would not work | 20:54 |
uvos | on att/tmobile sure | 20:54 |
Wizzup | yeah, probably | 20:54 |
uvos | but verizon dosent have a gsm/umts network | 20:54 |
uvos | and never did | 20:54 |
Wizzup | oh, I see. | 20:54 |
uvos | they had cdma | 20:54 |
uvos | and cdma is gohne | 20:54 |
uvos | so now they have lte only | 20:55 |
uvos | (and 5g) | 20:55 |
Wizzup | ok, makes sense | 20:56 |
