No you won't lose sim-unlock if you root or unlock bootloader.

[Q] HTC VIVID about to get smashed

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.

use the sim unlock guide here in the forums. i think all you do is flash the zip in fastboot. have you tried that?

I tried one that u downloaded a file and flashed, result was a constant reboot had to reflash rom. But ill look tomorrow and post results if its the same one or what happen.

You don't need a sim unlock for straight talk...just get the att compatible sim
You just need to add the straight talk apn

Theres a guide in here that I will vouch for, I used it, and have been with multiple different carriers now since, no problems.

Current Phones-
HTC Raider. Stock, debloated, rooted, s-off, sim unlocked.
Sony Xperia Play- Stock, debloated, rooted, s-off, sim locked.
2 New HTC Incredible S. Stock, sim unlocked.
Past Phones-
HTC Incredible S. Stock,debloated,rooted, s-off, sim unlocked. (Dismantled for parts)
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.

Few basic queries!!! Need Answers.

Hey all. First of all i would like to congratulate all the members who own this ultimate device.. i am loving this phone upto now. But sometimes an idea just stucks on my mind to root this phone also as i did with my samsung galaxy note 2. But i am new to HTC and dunn know basics about this phone. I hv searched alot of topics and spend my time in understanding the rooting procedure. Wht i understood is i have to unlock my bootloader and turn s-off. After that i can flash cwm or twrp and start using custom roms
Now what i want to know is if i unlock my bootloader using htcdev.com then would this void tbe warranty fully?
Can i relock the bootloader and make it as it is now.
In samsung we can do this by using traingle away application but im not aware of htc as this is my first device..
Sorry for the noob questions.thanx in advance.

Unlocking your bootloader through HTCDEV will always carry the risk of HTC rejecting your warranty claim. Relocking the bootloader will change the lock status to RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED (like stock).
With S-Off, you can bypass HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader. You can also change the status to LOCKED. Sequence of events would then be S-Off --> Unlock bootloader --> Flash a custom recovery --> Nandroid your stock ROM just in case --> Do whatever you want

Hi
greetings,
firstly welcome to HTC group.
the process of samsung and htc is different and rooting htc is a bit tough ( do not worry)
Unlocking bootloader from htcdev voids warranty completely
after unlocking booloader your bootloader says UNLOCKED and this is how HTC comes to know weather we have played with the phone or not
and after unlocking bootloader you can flash custom roms you do not have to be S-OFF.
now S-OFF means security off it gives us full access to the system which we do not achieve by unlocking bootloader.
so basically doing S-OFF you get access to all the system files of the phone including radio and all other stuff
and if you successfully achieve S-OFF( not a tough job) then you can get your warranty back by making our bootloader say LOCKED instead of UNLOCKED or RELOCKED
Thats it by this way you can have your warranty back
ENJOY FLASHING
DO NOT USE KYIES OVER HERE

So when i achieve s-off, my device will be unlocked or locked? Bcoz it bypass the htcdev process...
If it will be unlocked is there any way to make it locked bro?

yes you can relock. but with s-off it will say locked instead of relocked

HI
greetings,
if you do S-OFF first then your bootloader will say LOCKED
and you will have to patch the bootloader and then you can access the fastboot commands to flash recovery and install custom ROM.
and after S-OFF and unlocking bootloader you can make it LOCKED again

HTC generally don't mind if you unlock, I had to send mine back to the official HTC repair centre in England after a bad flash and I got a brand new SIM free phone back., no questions asked.

That's interesting, I have just sent my HTC one to HTC repair centre in England too after a bad flash, I was stuck in constant bootloop on start up screen, bootloader and recovery.
How long did it take from sending to receiving back.

Took a month but that's only because I stupidly sent it via the shop where I bought it who then sent it to their repairs centre in Dublin who eventually decided they couldn't fix it and then sent it to HTC in England so the whole process took a month, moral of the story is, if you bork your phone assuming it's under warranty send it to HTC direct, much quicker.
Good luck

Basically i flashed a boot animation and i stupidly never had a nandroid backup so got constant boootloops, i foolishly not just done a factory reset but formatted system basically I panicked , wiped absolutely everything, spend days trying to sideload a ROM via command prompts but no matter what I done i couldn't get it sorted so sent it off, now I'm ultra careful and always ensure I have a nandroid backup.

[Q] How to sim unlock HTC ONE with S-off

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.

HTC raider, need help with unlocking

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.
