How do I unlock a CDMA iPhone 4?

History

I bought a CDMA iPhone 4 on a website called craiglist and the iPhone I bought has been reported as a stolen iPhone on Verizon. I called Verizon and they said that I will never be able to activate it. Anyone can help?

check out the status of your phone at www.checkesnfree.com

if it shows esn is clean then you can register this iphone to another CDMA carrier. otherwise this is for parts only or use it as ipod .

You can't do anything about it. It won't work on verizon ever and the baseband is only for the CDMA network so good luck getting it to work on anything else. Maybe you can get it on Cricket or some other prepaid carrier that doesn't care about the ESN being blacklisted.

You can't unlock CDMA iPhone, you can unlock only GSM (SIM).

If it's iPhone 4S - then it supports both CDMA and GSM (via micro SIM) thus it can be unlocked.

While the iPhone can support both network types. The ESN is still part of the phone and can't be altered so you can't use it on a CDMA network if it is stolen

AN IPHONE 4 CDMA WITH BAD ESN can indeed be used, simply by it being "flashed" to another carrier. Flashing allows you to use your phone in another country with other CDMA compatible networks, or simply choosing another carrier within the United States e.g. Cricket**. Thus flashing the phone does require a "JailBreak" an app named "Cydia" Cydia allows you to by-pass Bad ESN and passwords and still make your phone use full. I have been told that Jailbreaking makes your phone slow, but if you desperately need a phone you should be able to deal with that. Its also been reported that the more apps you get will slow down your phone.

Perhaps it is stolen. Receiving or keeping stolen property is a crime.
