Hi Guys,
New here so please be nice
I have read a load of the tutorials and threads here and have now attempted to CID unlock and SIM unlock my G4, I used the hard_SPL-G4 to CID unlock, which has worked well and I have managed to upgrade to WM6 THe problem that I have now is when I try to SIM unlock the phone, I am using Lokiwiz03 which runs and get the SIm unlock code, but I enter this into the phone and it seems to unlock ok as I get to the normal home page screen, now as soon as the phone tries to register onto the network it goes back to the Network is locked please enter unlock screen, if before the phone has tried to register I put it into flight mode, then everything is ok (except I cant make calls )
Does anyone have any ideas why this may be? SHould I have sim unlocked before CID unlocking?
Thanks in advance.

IN BOOTLOADER MODE IT SHOWS
KAISI*0
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
How can i unlock it? if I put any other sim rather then ATT its show SIM LOCK
Please help
Thanks
Maybe you should read the WIKI to start. But I used KaiserUnlocker to unlock my sim card, but that is what I did. You do what you want, but I would first suggest again that you READ THE WIKI.

just like kdkobes said please read the wiki. The question you ask has been answered many times, trust me i asked it. but the info is there.
and secondly, if you got the phone "legally" and are an att customer all you had to do is dial "611" from your phone get in touch with att and they will give you the sim unlock code for your device ... ; just tell them you are going oversees (use a country like pakistan were att doesn't provide service) and need the unlock code .. i did it and they gave me the code in 5 minutes. Or you can use pof's hardspl which will unlock your cid and sim install olipro's spl (enabling u to flash new roms to your phone).
But going back to statment one, please read the wiki
cheers,

Calling AT&T vs. HARDSPL
If you get AT&T to give you a SIM Unlock code, do you still need to run HARDSLPL to install a cooked ROM?

Yes. There you got your free answer without needing to search. Everyone gets one.
SIM Unlocking just allows you to put any GSM carriers SIM card in your phone and it will work. HardSPL changes the boot loader so you can update the Roms.
Even after doing the Hard SPL the device is asking for unlock code if I insert a foreigh sim card.
I tried doing the USPL also. Same results.
After Hard SPL I also tried to install Touch_IT_wm6.1_Full_-Herald_P4350.zip ROM. It installed well but show same SIM locked error.
Please let me know the steps to start fresh and unlock the phone for international usage. I also wanted to load custom rOM but as SIM not supporting so not able to proceed further.
Apreciate any help in this regard.
Device: T Mob Wing (HERA110)
HardSPL is a cid unlock which does not sim unlock the phone. Seeing as how you have a tmobile wing, you should call tmobile and ask them for the unlock code. Just tell them you're going out of country
Are the instructions the same for the Non-CDMA? I don't want to brick my Sprint Diamond....
Thanks.
You will brick your phone if you try the gsm version of the unlock. I have a sprint diamond and i just unlocked it using this tutorial: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062
What's the purpose to unlock a CDMA phone? I can understand to unlock a GSM phone, then you can use any other SIM card.

In order to load a custom ROM you must "unlock" the phone first. Thus, the need to unlock this CDMA phone first before playing around with cooked ROMs.
diamond doesn't responde after unlocking
hi to all PLZZ i need help
i install the unlocker without cheking the version cdma or the other version
and in the Pc the program shows then the program was installed 100%
but phone doesnt open any more i tryed hard reset but..nothing.
I don't know what t do plzz HELP M
Try taking battery out, then place it back on, press DOWN and POWER it should go into programming mode, try installing the right unlocker.
Something weird happened to me today, my gsm sim card stopped working and shows "invalid card, please contact customer care". Anyone know how can i confirm if this is simlock ?
OS: Sprint viper 4.3 (5.0.1) , edited sku_id to 42
kernel: 3.4.0-g53c7f19
baseband: 1.09.20.0209
firmware: 4.25.651.14
Few things to note:
- GSM/UMTS mode was fully operational from last december until today morning.(Calling/data/sms)
- i tested another GSM SIM(from another carrier) and gives same error, i tested my GSM SIM on another phone and it works
- restored TWRP backup(system,data,boot) to few days back when it was working and it still doesn't work
- flashed sense 7 mod (venom hub), and some updates to HTC service pack came along on play store (this was at least 2 weeks ago)
Solution (it seems that sprint can remotely lock our phones, so this is a temporary workaround ):

htc one sim unlocker app is no longer on play store, instead use this code in terminal or adb shell(without quotes) : "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity"

Same here.. have you tried the sim unlocking method again? Does the Hands Free Activation pop up?

No i didn't try unlocking again because I think the method only works with jellybean roms. Handsfree activation popped many times but it never completed.
I am currently backing up my internal memory because i will run some RUU installers and test some stuff.
When did this happen to you and what rom are you using ?did you install the sense 7 mod? did you install any htc updates?

now phone keep asking for activation, because I did a reset from ##786#
that brings my phone to unactivated, I cannot do the unlocking because everytime I flashed sim_unlock.zip or trying to replace the Htcomadmspcs.apk and run the simunlockhelper.apk it gave me an error vDM client stopped.
I can not enter the OMADM Test Menu to press the sim lock.

htc one sim unlocker app is no longer on play store, instead use this code in terminal or adb shell(without quotes) : "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity"
for your problem im not sure if it will work without downgrading, but it may be worth trying.

I did that adb command and able to enter the OMADM Test Menu on CM11 snapshot, but when I press the "sim lock", the vDM Client error pop up again.. I think its because non-activated status of the phone. It keep asking for an Activation

did you replace the OMADM apk file and set the permissions properly and reboot ?
EDIT: you can downgrade the software without downgrading the firmware. (by installing a rom like viper 3.2.1 or any other custom kitkat sense rom)

It works..!! but I have to rename the Htcomadmspcs.apk to .bak and Htcomadmspcs.odex to .bak via TWRP.
-reboot to TWRP
-mount system
-use TWRP file manager, navigate to system/app and rename both file mention above to .bak
-copy paste the modified Htcomadmspcs.apk, reboot to system
-run the simunlockhelper.apk and it will open a menu
-click on SIMLOCK, wait 3secs, back to simunlockhelper app
-switch network to GSM/UMTS, insert gsm sim, reboot the phone
-profit
I was S-ON with latest official Lolipop 5.0.2, flash back the software to Stock Rooted flashable 4.4.4 zip when doing this sim unlock.
