ypou asked this in the other thread. there was no need to create a new one. You also got your answer in the other thread. There is NO WAY to unlock a Sprint HTC One unless you are a SPRINT customer and have a phone number with them. you are SOL at the moment.

I honestly tried to find the answer to this everywhere before posting. I already have the unlock code from HTC and Tmobile. I simply need to figure out how to unlock the phone.
The instructions I received with the unlock code said that the phone would notify me that the SIM is unregistered and I would put in my unlock code at that point. I assume this is only the case on a vanilla version of Android or whatever the current official release is.
As you may have guessed, I have my phone rooted and have been running CM for a while. When the prepaid SIM is in the phone CM does seem to realize that its there and there is a SIM tool app but it does nothing. I have flashed to a couple different customer ROMS including dwang and a couple older version of CM.
Is there any way that I can actually unlock my phone without having to unroot and go back to the official android release from tmobile?
Thank you to anybody that can help me.

Is it The AT&T Prepaid sim card. If it is then i don't think it would work. i have an unlocked g1 with an AT&T sim card and i unlocked it before rooting. So guess u have to do the same. hope i helped
Right now I am trying with a TracFone SIM card but I could try with an AT&T card from a friend in a couple of days. I don't even really need to get the service to work at this point.
The two things I really want are just to be able to unlock my phone and backup my contacts onto a secondary SIM card and I am having no luck doing either.

Hi,
I have HTC one on Three UK network. I took Sim network unlock code from 3 different paid servers, All have given same code but code does not work. It says Sim Password incorrect. Spoken to supplier and he said it is some bug in new android system. Can anyone explain me how to fix this. I appreciate that.
I already 3 tried another source and checked imei etc.

Are you on a custom CID ? On a custom ROM? If yes, change them back to the original and it'll work.

This is purely anecdotal but the phone I had before this was the s2 LTE model on AT&T, when they gave me the code it kept saying it was unsuccessful until I ran out of attempts. However when I actually put in a t-mobile sim card it worked fine and it was fully unlocked. Maybe try that?

You do know that to unlock the phone you need a SIM card from a different company inside the phone so that it asks for Network Unlock Code... SIM Lock is not the same...

Obviously phone is asking for sim network unlock code when we put non accepted sim card. So phone is not unlocked. We do quite a lot unlocking and few phones get this error, we have to refund customer but I am seeking solution for it. It is only in Android phones (HTC and Samsung).. Samsung's we usually unlock using unlocking boxes but HTC One is not supported other than code. (Setool support older HBOOT).
This thread is just for lollipop 5.x M8WHL (sprint) based on SENSE roms
LET'S START
1 - unlock bootloader from htcdev.com
2 - flash TWRP HERE
3 - ROOT your device by flashing SuperSU v2.45
4 - flash 1-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip and then flash 2-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip
5 - Install SIM unlock helper.apk and do as usual
If the signal didn't appear do the last step in this thread which is number 6 -
So you get it , hope it works for you . :good:

Help!
I'm running 4.4.4, when i clicked start in the sim unlock helper, nothing shows up. What do i need to do?
not working on lollipop....
Tested with your method and it didn't work but this did work

I tried it and it worked. Just need to flash Kitkat and restore back the Lollipop after unlock.
hi , i needhelp with my htc m8 sprint
hi, i need help i got an HTC M8 sprint lollypop, from ebay i live in northern Baja In mexico , and i wanted to use it down here, i got an unlocking code but it does not ask for it, i have taken it to some shops that unlock cellphones but they cant do it
i love this phone but if i cant make it work i will have to re sell it,
can some one help???? many thanks
I have the same problem as arunkarnwal1981. I get the vdm client not responding error even after renaming the file in question (does it have to be deleted entirely?).
Also, SIM Unlock Helper just says "This device is not a Sprint HTC One." Odd, this is from an RUU dowloaded from HTC's site. So all I've got is a phone with the vdm client broken, whatever that is. Android is 5.0.2, Lollipop.
Oh - there's a brief message after "This device is not a Sprint HTC One." It reads invalid device htc-m8whl.
check my thread for complete Sim unlock on lollipop without s-off

htc m8 sprint,bootloader unlocked,s-off
hi there i tried this but it did not work, i have a htc m8 from sprint it has android 5.0.2
and i too want to use it out side of the US, mine its ROOTED,BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED,AND S-OFF, can you help me , it still does not accep my sim card....thank you
Well, it generates the vDM Client has stopped unexpectedly error as soon as I install the .zip. I'm running HTC's RUU of Lollipop 5.0.2.
And then the unlock helper says "This device is not a Sprint HTC One!" Process fails for me.
simple solution, works 100%
if u r on lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 on htc m8 sprint follow below steps to unlock ur phone
Unlock Bootloader
Flash TWRP RECOVERY
Flash Sim Unlock Zip file
Install Stock Rooted Deodexed 4.4.4 zip Rom file
wipe cache, dalvik cache and reboot phone, it will take some time to boot but hv patience...
Turn On the phone
Install sim unlock apk
Open and press 3 dots menu button and then wait for super user permission to be granted...
press back button and then start button... congo u will get ur sim unlock option at bottom of the page... reboot and then done... if u get vdm error then copy htc omad... file to system/apps and try again changing permission.. it really works i unlocked mine successfully...
In available networks I get an error message
Hi all. I have been following this post. I manage to get the sim unlock menu, then I go to GSM options and I manage to retrieve the lis of the following operators in my country, but as I select any of them, I get the message Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network. Any clues on how to fix it? Thank you in, advance
Try to redo the unlock procedure and reboot the phone...i think it should work cuz its something related to unlocking,
I brought the sprint HTC one m7 for a two year contract,since the contract been over now and i got the unlock codes i thought after i go to my home country which is india i can insert the local SIM (which is Airtel 3G SIM ) and unlock the device using the unlock code .Now i have reached my home country and when i insert the local SIM the SIM was not even detected at all,the phone simply says "no SIM card" .any solution?
Maybe you need to flash to a different stock/rom/mobile network?

Hello all,
I have a UK HTC Mini 2 locked on EE, I would like to remove the simlock and as such I have purchased a code to do so from ebay. However, the code does not work, I have verified with the seller and he says it is correct so I assume it has something to do with me installing CM 12.1 (NostomoPop).
My phone is S-On, Bootloader unlocked, could somebody advise me how I could unlock the phone please??
Thanks :good:

The unlock works only on SENSE ROMs, so you can't unlock it on CM, AOSP or GPE ROMs. Even after you have unlocked you won't have network in non-sense ROMs.

I'm sorry to come to this thread so late but I've only just seen it. I hope you have already solved your problem but just in case here is my experience.
I have a One Mini 2 which was bought from eBay locked to Vodaphone. I bought a SIM unlock code online and had the same problem, i.e. the code did not work.
Stupidly I had cut down my mini SIM card to a micro card using a template I found online and this turned out to be the problem. I ordered a new SIM card from Giffgaff (their cards now come as a 3-format card which you cna just pop out to the correct size) and, after doing a SIM swap on-line to the new card number, put the new card in and entered the number as supplied. It worked perfectly.
I had already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP while waiting for the new card to arrive.
I have installed several different roms, CM12, Carbon, AOSP, Nostromopop (by far the best!), reverted back to stock, gained S-OFF with Sunshine, reloaded full stock from RUU, reinstalled TWRP, reinstalled latest Nostromopop, SuperSU, and on and on and on. I've never lost mobile network since I put in the new SIM card and entered the number I was given originally to unlock it.
So just in case you are still having problems, that was my solution: get a new SIM card!
Good luck
Hi ajlajluk,
I am in the same position as you were - HTC one mini 2 simlocked to vodafone, tried online unlock codes with no luck. I have a giffgaff simcard and cannot get it working, can you elaborate more on exactly what you did to get the unlock code working?
"after doing a SIM swap on-line to the new card number, put the new card in and entered the number as supplied. It worked perfectly"
How do you mean sim swap? tranfered numbers?
Im not having much luck when attempting to flash a stock rom and Sunshine doesnt like the CM11/CM12 roms when I tried to S-OFF (to change CID).
Any advice massively appreciated
