Sim unlock error - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good afternoon,
I have just bought a HTC One from Orange Spain and I would like to unlock it to be able to use it with Vodafone too. In general this step would be so easy, just paying for the unlock number and introducing it on the phone, but here is the problem, I am not asked for any number.
And yes, I am sure that the phone is locked and I have tried with other SIMs. No way...
Does someone knows what could I do? It is so strange...
Thank you!

When you put another SIM in, you should get a grey screen asking for a SIM Unlock code or something, I just did mine the other day, you also need to be running a stock rom or it wont work.

The easiest way to unlock your phone regardless of model is simply to call the carrier(i.e. at&t, t-mobile etc) and ask them to give you the unlock code. If you've been a customer for awhile or if you're a good talker you will have no problem doing it. You can even do this for phones like the Razr or even Nokias. Just about any phone can be unlocked this way. Good luck.

[Q] Sim unlock for XT890?

Hey all,
Is the Razr-I sim unlockable? I'd like to be able to use a sim from a different operator when out of the country, so before I get this phone it would be good to know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Apparently cellunlocker.net do it. They have confirmed with me in an email, and it is listed on their site, but I have not tried personally.

mate how the hard lock looks?? Do You still have pop up message asking sim unlocking code??
Did you have the number says how many tries U got left?? Or did you have penalty time after typing wrong code???
I have the second one....probably can't hard lock this one.
what do You think??
Creers
There's no indication of how many code tries have been made or left. You enter the code and it thinks for a second and brings the code entering screen again. Both 8 and 16 digit codes couldn't unlock the device and it is returned for replacement.
What's up?

Was anybody ever able to unlock their RAZR i?
As I couldn't get the answer I needed, I went with the Nexus 4 instead.

Hi,
I've done it with them and IT'S WORK !!!
I've do it for my razr i and my defy+ ...
http://unlockphonenetwork.com/
I have just received my XT890 (NIP, I unboxed the sealed box myself). When I turn on the phone with an invalid SIM card, I get this message:
PIN is incorrect. Please wait for the penalty timer to expire, and re-enter your PIN.
When I dismiss this screen, I get a message: "Unauthorized SIM Inserted".
I am positive I have not tried any unlock codes, maybe the provider (carrier) is locking them this way so you cannot enter any unlock codes. Is there any solution for this?
It's strange because I get a very different message in spanish...
Regards

Hi woodyby, was this your first attempt on your RARZ I? Which code format did you got?
I have tried to unlock my XT890 through different pages (cellunlocker, unlockitnow, shops), got the same code which does not work (neither 8 nor 16 digits). After one attempt the phone keeps writing: 'PIN is incorrect. Please wait the penalty time to expire, then re-enter your PIN.' and can be tryed again in the other day.
How I can know if it is hardlocked already? Would it be a different message or this is the one meaning hardlock?
If Your phone is hard locked the same message appears, the only difference is if you put unlocking code and press ok the same message re-appears without penalty time. If you press dismiss and restart phone you will see wrong code message and penalty time.
You only have 7 attempts.

Good news! I have succeeded too with UnlockPhoneNetwork.com. They a gave a simple 16 digit number instead of the format resembling to this: x000xx00xx 00000000 00000000 xx0x0xx0 from previous pages.

Thanks for your answer! My phone was not hard locked yet fortunately. These 7 attempts are quite a few. I was trying one code only once making video evidence about all attempts to surely have the refund if fails (and it did fail as I wrote above)
Thank you guys, job done.

cannot unlock htc one x

hi - i have a htc one x locked to orange uk, its totally original phone and never has never been rooted or modded before, i purchased an unlock code and the seller is 100% sure thats its the corrrect unlock code for the phone but it doesnt work, after several times of trying the code it still says " unlock code ir wrong". I also have reset the phone to factory settings and tried with diffrerent sim like gif gaff, vodaphone etc but still remains locked and wont accept the unlock code. I have no reason to doubt the seller. im in the uk. Ive read somewhere that it may have something to do with the radio.zip whatever that is. To be honest im totally new at this modding lark so would be greatful if someone could walk me through this problem or help me in some sort of way. i would like to use my tesco sim in the phone. Thanks

If you can't sim unlock using a code, the you can try to s-off and use the sieempi method

Follow the below link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk
Your device is unlocked!!!
That will unlock the bootloader but I don't think it sim unlocks it also? My phone came sim unlocked but with past phones unlocking the bootloader never sim unlocked my phones. After unlocking the bootloader google these two words "sieempi wonderhowto" and the first hit should be a guide to show you how to sim unlock. Sorry I can't post links as this is my first post ever.
If that still fails to sim unlock your phone all isn't lost yet. To use that method you have to S-Off your phone and if your phone is S-Off than your other option would be to run a T-Mobile RUU. You would be stuck having to run a T Mobile rom but at least you could use your phone.
I would also contact HTC because it sounds very odd they would send you a AT&T phone if you sent them a T Mobile phone to be fixed. Maybe they sent you the wrong phone?
A new thread might show up in a few days from a AT&T customer saying HTC repaired their phone but sent them back a T Mobile instead

Assistance Needed Please!

First find out what your carriers settings are, like the APN settings. See if it's gsm cdma.. You can try going in the phones settings and checking them out open the dialing pad and *#*#4636#*#* and look around.
hi, thank you for your response, that menu was the first thing i tried lol, i put an o2 sim in and i got it to show the H symbol next to the signal bars which still had a cross on them, it also auto installed the apn settings other than that, no change

You cannot unlock the SIM card with a code from anywhere online it doesn't work that way because number one the SIM card in these phones is only to allow the phone to get LTE internet speeds number two the MEID is how the phone gets service not just the SIM card cause you can remove the SIM card and the entire phone will still work just without LTE number three you can't insert another carriers SIM card and then have the phone ask you to enter the unlock code because the phone will never ask for that code when you put another SIM in there it will just say invalid SIM card and nothing else and number four, the phone is unlocked via uicc and has to be done on the carriers side not some unlocking websites code....
Wow I had no idea, what do I do from here then? Is Contacting o2 my only option?

Well you said you sim unlocked it with success in this first post of yours right here and that's why both me and @dip_spit asked how you did that, you didn't say it wasn't legit then.

No. Because many people have gotten the unlock codes and not a single person can find a way for the phone to ask for it. Of course he IS in Europe and their rules are different there so he may have, who knows.

And you are expecting the "site" to do what exactly?
Why don't you just take your phone to your carrier and have them program it to use their services?!?!

It could be a legitimate unlocking site that he used and expected it to work with his 510 (which they probably don't say that they don't support it), in which case he can probably convince them to refund his money.
Or it could be a scam site, in which case he'll have to do a charge-back or something to get his money back.
Also, he could take it to his current carrier but given the evidence of previous users, they won't unlock and program it for their network because the likelihood of them being able to is slim to none.

It seems like he's screwed then. I unfortunately don't know how or what settings to use to help him with the issue. He did say "should I contact o2?" So I asummed he could contact them I guess.
