No changing the ROM will not SIM unlock it. Did you mean a Verizon Droid Incredible 2?
No ... Incredible S locked for Virgin Mobile

You either need to contact the carrier for the unlock code or use one of the pay services and purchase an unlock code.
Which HBOOT version does the phone have? If it is version 1.09 you might check the Development section. There was an older thread that claimed to S-Off and SuperCID earlier versions but doesn't work on the newer versions.

Are there any free ways to get rid of SIM-lock for Incredible S?
If someone can help me, thanks a lot
Currently not, its the same as the rooting process, if we manage to get perm root, we can unlock the sim lock.
So your stuck now on the lock
Hmm, strange. My Incredible S is not SIM-Lock! I can put whatever I want in it
My IS is also sim-lock free, but if its locked, your out of luck until root is here.
i think jtag box can help u
Simlock will depend if you bought a branded or standalone device. While i haven't tried another card.. my device is an Orange IS and i suspect it won't let me use any other sim.
Best thing to do is test.
Mine's sim free version also, but my friends have bought one from service providers and cannot use other sims. Like they said above, you will need to wait for a new root for it, but if you already got a contract for it, then it's ok to hang around for a while right? Just divert your calls for your current sim for now.
u should use xtc clip to unlock your in s

There is no free software to unlock this model.
I thought once you debrand and you are S-off it is unlocked?

S-OFF does not always equal SIM/Carrier Unlock. It depends on the method used. The XTC Clip does S-OFF and SIM/Carrier unlock the phone. AlphaRevX does not.
i'm not aware of any software or 'free' sim unlock services
plenty of paid sim unlock services that work well :/
the only way to sim unlock my old IncS is to buy the code (15$) from any website or there is another method ?
thank you.
You could unlock it for free from optus after 6 months of purchasing it...
Click thanks if I helped you out!

In the development section there is a tool called HTC super tool, some people say they've had success with that... If that doesn't work, Google is your friend

Yea I still need the unlock code, I can't reply your pm because I'm still new to this forum >.< So how can I contact u?
I have a question and could find an answer, well maybe a few... First if you have an unlocked version of the m9 directly brought from HTC all updates come from them not any carriers? With that being said if you by a T-Mobile version and get an unlock code from them will updates still come from them or HTC?
Unlocking phone has nothing do with updates. If you have T-Mobile version doesn't matter if it's Sim locked or unlocked, updates still come from T-Mobile. If you want updates from HTC you have to buy the unlocked model or Dev edition directly from HTC site.

You can always use the SunShine app and change your device to any model you want.. including the developer edition and then you will get updates straight from HTC.

hi can the T-Mobile Version be unlocked/Rooted?
hi i have an HTC M9 from T-mobile, i was checking the boot loader but it doesn't have the fast boot option, I've played around and i noticed that in download mode the fast boot command worked. so. i was wondering it can be unlocked or if T-mobile Locked it like the Xperia Z1s.
i watched a video on how to root it on "any variant" but theirs have been unlocked, i think they have Developers edition but now im wondering if its just mine that is locked.
yes can verify.. you can sim unlock device. travel a lot so need to be able to pop in a telcel chip. only snag is you need to flash a non-tmobile base rom first, Then it will ask for unlock sim code and your set. can leave it on non-tmobile base rom or like me reflash tmobile rom and your set. hope that helps

When you say a non tmobile base do you mean flash a custom rom onto the device? Thanks

Yes, sunshine will s-off your device. That will allow you to change cid and mid and turn your device into a dev edition or any other M9 released. Just note the radio/modem of your phone won't change. It won't gain support for other bands, but some may be disabled depending on the RUU you flash.

Is there anyway to downgrade Lollipop?
I am also in the same boat with OP, I have a Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon/Kardon with Marshmallow 6.20.654.3. I live overseas and i need to get this phone sim-unlocked. Can this be done with the current software version or do I need to downgrade the ROM to be able to sim-unlock my phone for use with an international GSM-Network?
