hello guys.
as we all know. Vivid/Raider at some other country can now be unlocked by visiting htcdev. and we all know this does not apply to us AT&T at the moment.
some suggested maybe the unlock code bin is the same for all the vivid. which i tried. i was able to get my hand on a vivid token from china and receive a bin file from HTC Dev. sadly, this method does not work. the cmd simply says filed check. push unsuccessfully. but i figure id upload this bin file or others who are way more knowledge to have some fun with. maybe they can get more out of it than i do
This is an unlock_code.bin for a specific serial number in a different country, how would this unlock code binary help ? You might as well use the unlock code binary from any htc dev applicable phone, whats special about this one ?
not helping error the problem with me am not able tu sign in on htcdev.com
Just follow the process listed on htcdev.com , it supports all HTC models including at&t . Just does not say so publicly.

Really strange, they don't have any restrictions on any country. But even if they did it would have been easy to use proxy and get a account.

Htc raider/vivid rooted ok
1. Unlock bootloader by htcdev
2. Coppy file PH39IMG.zip on root sdcard

Phone rooted ok.
I'm assuming that's a rooted stock rom that obviously wont unlock the bootloader. but it installs like an official update?
Yeah... What is this?

do i use S710d (China Telecom) 3.06.1401.0 or will it automaticly detect my phone and still be able to do the unlock even though my specific phone is not on the green list?

Same thing here.
hmmm...
The zip tried to load twice from hboot.
I tried the recovery option and rec'd the red triangle.
Ended up with correct time on home widget, but 4 hrs ahead in upper right menu.
So I flashed the Cingular ruu and back to normal.
I notice the img file is about 11 MB smaller than the ruu.
I attempted on Tuesday and again today to unlock bootloader, getting the same message as others above.
Here is the whole message you receive.
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
Error Code: 170.

We have to wait. It took almost a month I think for the Amazed 4G.
Just long enough so that the people who got it on day-one are out of the return/exchange period
---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------
Still downloading, but does this zip make any changes to the hboot? If so, has someone tried to do the htcdev unlock after running this?
Just wondering out loud, but even if hboot is updated...not sure if that would change the identifier token...
tried flashing through CWM just to see what happens! FAIL
I got a HTC Vivid which i can not get to sim network unlock. It was origionally ATT but now im trying to use it on StraightTalk with their bring your own ATT compatiable phone. I am not a noob ive rooted s-off and flashes many many phones but this ones got my stomped. I have done the fallowing below.
1. Called straight talk, they gave me a unlock code but phone shows network unlock unsuccessful.
2. Called ATT which they said the phone was to new and was unable to give me a code.
3. Searched all XDA and tried the VERY few things i could find with no result.
4. Purchased a Unlock code from a site online with good reviews... FAILED... they refunded money was unable to unlock phone.
5. Purchased from a 2nd, 3nd, and 4th site unlock codes. Of the 4 sites they supplied the same 2 codes. 3 out of 4 have refunded the cost. Waiting on 4th, they had a tech looking into it. No responce 6 days now, emailed and got only a automated msg.
6. Setup a Skype Phone number in Paris France and called ATT so it would appear i was overseas. They still wouldnt unlock the phone but was able to open a case and esculate it from customer service to they supervisors. 3 Days and no reply... still wondering.
So here I am does anyone have any suggestions or things I can try? Im beating my head on my desk thinking WTF... i dont have ATT so unless i can get it unlocked im stuck with a phone i cant use.

HTC HD7. Sim unlocked. That's all I felt was worth doing honestly. (Sold)
Love me some HTC
I agree. The method to sim unlock on xda was successful for me - it doesn't require flashing a file, per se..rather putting a specific DAT file on the root of SD card and then from boot loader choosing simlock.. it errors out but still unlocks the phone (pretty sure its supposed to error out - part of the hack) ..anyway, it was one of the first things I tried on a raider from xda and I've done it on 3 of them now, all successfully. You should try that.

Hello,
So i achieved s-off but everytime i enter my sim card for my other carrier it says please enter unlock code. Can anyone help clarify what i did wrong or if there is something else i need to do. On the bootloader it does say s-off and i do have root access and an unlocked bootloader. Thanks in advance
Am i missing something. Would installing the desired network couriers firmware work. ( Telus firmware to get telus simcard to work on bell phone) Can someone please shed some light on this topic i am confused.
What you've done won't sim unlock the phone.
Subscribe to this thread - the guy is working on a simpler method to sim unlock or someone may be able to recommend a site where you can buy an unlock code.
If you really need it the guy might even help you do it.

Hello,
I am currently living in Europe and i have a Sprint M8. Unfortunately s-off is not compatible with my phone (u might know about the whelp message).
I dont know even if this is possible, but if any of u guys has a contract with SPRINT, can you request an international SIM Unlock (GSM) for me (i dont need unlock for USA carriers, just for other international carriers)?
I can pay if the fee is acceptable.
Thanx!
first why would you get the Sprint version if you live abroad?
second sprint can unlock it so long as its payed off (not on someones contract) and hasnt been reported lost or stolen. just call sprint
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
I cant call sprint from where I live. If somebody can do it for me im willing to pay.
I contacted Sprint from their Live Chat, and they told me i have to have an active contract with them in order to unlock. Which i dont have
Can anybody help?

if you want to try something on your responsibility then you can follow the sim unlock method without s-off (remember to make nand backup) & try if you get your device unlocked, if not then you will need to enable gsm band with QPST, with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.
I followed all that sim unlock method but my device still locked & i can't select gsm networks then i enabled it with QPST & all things worked ok.
the difference between us is s-off only.
I already tried it and the .apk files on /system/apps are replaced after i make the reboot. I guess this is why s-off is needed... I think i have to wait for the new s-off. Or till somebody with a Sprint contract will help me (if it is even possible since im in europe right now)

Try the following on you responsibility
- You should know your SPC, you can read it with CDMA Workshop or CDMA DFS Tool.
- Install QSPT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391)
- enable diag mode ##3424#
- open QPST configuration, from port tab add your device diagnostics port.
- from start clients tab choose service programming then ok & click on read from phone.
- on system tab choose automatic for roam preferences.
- on UMTS System tab choose any for pref service domain & any band (last bottom right) for proffered band.
- click write to phone, then your device should work on GSM mode with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.
I'm with rooted, S-Off , bootloader unlocked HTC One M8 Sprint variant... I've even tried sim unlock... But it's still not accepting GSM sim cards... I think we need to have specific Prl update or UICC unlock for it to work

geeez... guess I can try one of those unlock sites..
I have a HTC raider that is locked to bell (a Canadian carrier). Android version is 4.0.3 and software number is 3.38.666.2.
I found some videos on YouTube that show you how to unlock using a code that you buy online so I did that and got a code. I entered this code when prompted and it accepted the code but it didn't unlock the phone. Also it seems that the phone will accept any random 8 digit code but it will not unlock it. Like it will say successfully unlocked from network with any random 8 digit code but when the phone reboots it asks for the code again. The same thing happens with code that I purchased online.
My first question is that the raider on the youtube video asks for "SIM unlock pin" but my phone asks for "IMSI unlock pin", so what is the difference?
Second question is why does the phone accept any random 8 digit code when none of them work? Can my phone even be unlocked with a code?
Third question is are there any other ways to unlock it, like how jailbreaking on iphone you can unlock it via software; is there something like this for the raider. Is rooting a similar thing?
Finally I tried this but it did not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681145
On HBOOT it says S-OFF but on the top it says "locked" and read out was exactly the same as in that post.
Please help.
Ok, so I finally got the bootloader unlocked and its S-OFF and the phone is rooted (I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343625) . Now I'm under the assumption that I need to install a stock or custom rom and my phone will be unlocked? Am I correct in this assumption or is there more to it?
There is somewhere in the dev forum a thread dedicated to sim unlocking the raider via a flashable zip. You have to enter your imei into a website and they email a zip back to you. No idea if the thread is still alive tho, but I have used it to successfully sim unlock 3 of these. For the record I was then and am still using wcx recovery.
