Hi everybody. I have a 3 day old HTC One that is locked to the Bell Mobility Network. I have been trying to unlock it with no success. I have purchased the code 3 different times and all 3 times it comes to me as the same code. I have NOT entered the wrong code too many times, I think I'm at 5 attempts now. I put in a non-supported sim and get the message "network locked", please enter code which I do. Every time, I get the same reply, "Incorrect Password". I have a couple other people working on it as well, but nobody is having any luck and I don't want to enter wrong code too many times for obvious reasons. Is it possible to root the phone and unlock it that way??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I used myhtcunlock.com, got the code in 10 mins and it worked on the first try.
Good luck.

I have gotten the code from 3 different places, same code each time. One place even gave me a refund and said they couldn't find a code for it.
I maybe not of big help, but others members did successfully SIM unlocked their phones, have a read HERE.

I did, yes. Same thing as the others. I have been playing around with rooting and stuff for a year or so, but never got too involved in it. I just unlocked my bootloader so should I not be able to unlock by rooting it now? I'm sorry if I sound like a total dumb-ass, this is just screwing with my head more than anything else, lol

first root and than unlock or vice verse?
Thanks ahead
Unlock as in sim unlock? Afaik doesn't matter. You can sim unlock an unrooted phone and vice versa

OK let's stick with the sim unlock
What are the steps and which tools is needed ?
Sim unlocking has to be done with a code. Find a cell repair store near you and ask about sim unlocking. It'll probably cost 20-30 bucks. You can also try some online stores, google xt860 sim unlock. Rooting you can do yourself. If you are on android 2.3.4 you can use Pete's one.click found in the dev section. I'm not sure if it works on the new 2.3.6, but if not search for zergrush. Or find my thread labeled "The xt860, custom roms and you" I've linked to zergrush in there. If you are new to all this may I suggest you spend some time reading various threads and make sure you read directions before attempting anything. If your unsure just ask rather than rushing in and bricking your phone.

the only way to unlocking is using code ??
i use your advice and spend some time reading Before I jump in
Ya you need a code. I was unable to unlock mine. Tried a online service which eventually emailed me back saying they could not find a code. Full refund though. Also tried a store but they could not find a code either. Code is specific to your IMEI which is a number specific to your device. But I know others have successfully unlocked theirs. Also unlock my kill your 3g but there is a fix somewhere on here. We can find it of you need it. But for sure best thing you can do is read and educate as much as you can about your device before rooting.

I used mobileincanada.com twice and that seemed to have worked.
i know verizon will unlock your phone for free. Im not sure about other providers but if you tell your provider your going out of country on business and would like to use your own simcard while away, they will usually allow this as long as you you say your "keeping" your contract with them

(i'm gonna try them by myself when i get the device)
This may have been asked before but I'll ask again, is there no way of getting this phone SIM unlocked for free as of yet?
When i got my phone first thing I done was get it unlocked to all networks which cost me €20.81, I've had to leave my phone in for repairs after I borked it by formatting system and stupidly not having a nandroid backup, I've been informed that I'll just be getting a new handset but this is likely to be locked to o2 where i purchased the phone and im with Tesco Mobile so unless there is another method that's free that i have yet to come across then I'll have to pay again to get the phone unlocked, and that's not good.
When i had a Galaxy S3 I had an apk.called Galaxy SIM unlock which done the trick nicely, why isn't there something similar for this phone to save people from having to pay?

Given no responses im assuming there's no free method as of yet.
I have seen this on eBay, this guy has pretty good feedback and is cheap, can anyone vouch for this seller?

I have tried 5 places to get my phone unlocked but none of them have the code, some were saying try back in 2 weeks time and your code might show up on the server, got refunded straight away.
I think they all get them off HTC so the eBay unlock sellers seem to be the cheapest option.

Got mine from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-an...ltDomain_3&hash=item257d441929#ht_1461wt_1163
Fast turnaround, and 100% seller feedback...used to unlock both my HTC One, and One X previously
You might have to wait a while if o2 are giving you a new phone as the unlock codes for they're new batch on HTC ones don't seem to be on the server where they get them from.

I'm delighted to say I'm in possession of a SIM unlocked One the bootloader is locked but I'd have expected that anyway and I can unlock that anytime but tried my Tesco Mobile and UK Giff Gaff SIMs and both are fine so that's good i don't have to shell out again.

Strange question, but are you absolutely sure that it's now unlocked? As giffgaff and Tesco mobile all run on the O2 network anyway, and will both work in O2 locked handsets. To be sure, I'd try inserting a Vodafone, 3 or EE SIM just to be sure.

The only SIM cards ive got are Tesco Mobile and Giff Gaff, well i have an o2 one too but i dont use that.
To be honest even if its not unlocked it's fine for me as they are the only 2 SIM's i use.

Lucky you, I have had no luck in nearly 3 websites 4 ebay members, Now I have stopped, everyone of them refunded immediately though!
It appears that I have to wait, there is no other option

Hey guys, I've just recently purchased a HTC One on PayAsyouGo. But I am currently on a Three contract.
I was wondering if it is possible to unlock it to all networks for free or if there is an guide that I can follow to unlock it.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried your contract sim in it?
If you have and it doesn't work then you'll have to contact the original carrier for a sim unlock code
I'd try another SIM first, if it's not already you can buy unlock codes off eBay for about £3

I've already tried, I placed an orange sim, which worked fine, then after I tried a three sim car, which unfortunately asked for a network code.
Can you link me to a code on ebay.
Thanks.

Cheers mate, I've ordered it, received and unlocked it within an hour.
A long story short is, I mistakenly said my Canadian note 5 was Rogers and the provided unlock did not work... I then corrected it to the proper carrier, which was MTS. The replied eventually with the same code. Which did not work..... So I tried another, expensive website... Which returned with the same code... Which did not work. I am now $60 into the unlocks... And nothing! I have unlocked 1000 phones using this method and sites.....
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Thanks
