I have heard people saying after installing custom rom, it may cause problem sim-unlocking the HTC One. Is that correct? Have anyone tried that after installing the ARHD?
UPDATE: I tested it myself, and it works on ARHD.
I was impatient, and installed cyanogenmod and so on before unlocking the SIM, and now I'm unable to unlock it. I guess I'll try reverting to a stock ROM, attempt the SIM unlock, and then reinstall CM. If I can figure out how.

What do you mean by "unable"? It doesn't accept the unlock code, or what was the problem?

Yes, when you enter the code, it says "requesting network unlock... network unlock request failed"
I've just used TWRP to restore a stock ROM. This time, when I provide the unlock code, it tells me it succeeded, and that I need to reboot. Upon rebooting, the phone is network locked again -- not sure why the unlock wouldn't be persistent. If you decline to reboot, then I get a black screen with a spinner "Unlocking your SIM card and setting up your phone..." that doesn't seem to go away.
I'm not sure what to try next. Any ideas?

Hope other people can chime in. I don't even know if having a custom recovery will make a difference.
Well, all I did was a) unlock the bootloader via htcdev b) install clockworkmod c) install CM d) replace clockworkmod with TWRP to restore the stock ROM
So, I guess the next steps should be reversing b/d by taking recovery back to stock - not sure how to do that - and reversing a by re-locking the bootloader. If someone could help me figure out how to do those 2 things, that seems like a step in the right direction.

I managed to go back to stock recovery, and now the SIM unlock succeeds and is persistent. JOY!
Anyone idea if it's going to re-lock the SIM if I head back to clockworkmod & cyanogenmod? If it'll just bork all over again, then I won't bother, because I'll have to get back to this state again anyways.
Is there a backup solution that covers the ROM and recovery so I can more easily revert to this state later if need be?

Use a Guru Reset ROM to get back to stock (includes recovery): http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
the SIM Unlock code should work then.

Once SIM is unlocked, it won't lock again. you're good to flash anything.

Did a few posts for sim unlock a while back, but can't really remember exactly what had to be stock; you can try with anything you're on at the moment, if it doesnt work, then
1- just do a nandroid,
2- flash a stock rom matching (or at least very close) to your firmware & stock recovery
3- use sim-unlock code
4- flash back custom recovery
5- restore nandroid
and just in case, backup everything to PC after step 1.

I have lost my unlock code due to a HD failure. I am currently rooted and unlocked, and I run the leaked Froyo ROM.
What will happen in the future, should I want to flash, say, a Cyanogen ROM (*if* it becomes available)? Will I lock again? I understand my unlock codes were wiped when I flashed the new ROM.
Is there a way to insure I do not become locked again?
I have searched threads extensively, I do not think I have found a consensus on this? Anyone care to enlighten me?
I unlocked back on 2.1 (JF6), updated to JH7, flashed 2.2 (JI6), and have also flashed Cognition Betas 6, 7, 8, 8.1, and 9...and I'm still SIM unlocked. As far as I know, it's permanent no matter what ROM you choose to flash.

Hmm...strange. I still have my code (saved on both my MicroSD and an external harddrive) but I might start removing it as a precautionary measure.
even i never removed my sim anytime while flashing or updating....mines still unlocked....i hope it doesnt get locked in the future, cant we permenantly unlock it. . . .

Thanks for all the info. I feel better now! And yes, I will remove my SIM before flashing
I seek the advice of the masters here, or really anyone who can answer, lol. ATT converted to Dev Edition, 4.4, S-Off, stock recovery, bootloader relocked to run the 4.3 Brightstar RUU. Okay, tried to use stock recovery to change radio back to the 4.3, gives error remote not allowed. Tried to sideload it, not happening either. Figured I need unlocked bootloader, which makes no sense since I am S-Off. Tried to use my .bin file to unlock again, nope, says it doesn't match. That's fine, well, not really, but I can re-run to get another one, but, am I missing something here? Do I need to re-unlock bootloader to change the radio, and do I have to do it with CWM, or TWRP instead of stock?
Well, it sure does require unlocked bootloader so that you can flash a radio zip using a custom recovery. Once I did that it worked fine, still can't figure out why I had to get another unlock code though, that is just strange. Anyhow, mod can close thread, I figured it out.

FYI yes this is normal, you always need a new unlock code when your bootloader is locked again. Don't forget you can easily unlock bootloader without htcdev when you are s-off.

Hi all,
Long time lurker and benefactor of all the great advice and wisdom on here. Thanks to everyone for the knowledge you share with the rest of us while we're learning! I have a quick question i can't seem to find the answer to anywhere here. Please forgive me and redirect if I'm being dense and it's somewhere else.
Firstly my One is unlocked, rooted, s-on and running ARHD 71.1
Ideally I want to keep root and my custom rom but if really necessary, I can return to stock and redo the process later.
Ok here's the issue. I didn't avail of the Google Drive storage offer before unlocking my bootloader. Now HTC are telling me I need to relock it to redeem. I'm still pushing them but just in case they hold firm:
1. Can I relock the bootloader without losing root and my custom rom? If so, how? All the guides I can find are about unrooting, locking and returning to stock.
2. If I do relock the bootloader, redeem the storage offer and then later unlock it again, is it going to wipe my data partition again?
Like I said. It's not the end of the world having to return to stock and redo, or having to flash ARHD again if the phone is wiped, but i would prefer a quick, clean and easy method if anyone has any ideas?
You can relock and still have root in the custom rom. How about making a nandroid backup, copy it off the device, relock, redeem the storage, unlock, then restore the /data partition from the backup.

that looks the best idea. will wait to see if htc get back with good news tomorrow otherwise i'll do this. thanks guys.
i'm having a nightmare here!
first when i relocked the phone it gave me "security warning" in the bootloader and refused to let me reboot the phone or even launch recovery.
i eventually managed to get the phone working again by rebooting the bootloader 7 or 8 times and then unlocking it again with my old unlock code.
then looking for another way to get relocked, i tried to get s-off but as my hboot is 1.55 there seem to be very few ways.
have been trying to use firewater (i'm on ARHD 71) but after going through everything, it tells me "ERROR: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch! Try again with a different kernel".
so then I flashed the ElementalX kernel thinking that would work but it gives me the same message.
anyone have any ideas? should i try another kernel? maybe a different ROM? I've tried to restore to the original nandroid backup i made when i first unlocked the thing but that's not working either!
hi all,
i have recently aquired Sony Xperie SP C5303, and i now i'm lost since i never had android phone. all i used was various emulators for PC and stuff...
but now there is many stuff to be noisy about. and probably this has been answered many times but please, do me a favor and pretty please answer again if possible.
1. Phone is SIM locked (i'm working on getting unlock code from provider, since i have right to do so, after contract expires..which has)..but is there any way to unlock phone before i get the code? i'm wondering how technitians in local services do that. they ask about 30€ for unlocking device, and i doubt they have acces to provider's unlock code.
2. I tried to flash phone with custom firmware (using flashtool) but it failed on me even though i used right firmware, and phone bricked. however i managed to recover phone with sony PC companion and it now works same as when i got it. Firmware 12. 1. A. 1. 205, android version 4.3. i have no idea why it failed on me during flash. can it be cause phone is no rooted, and have no root support? (whill connect to this on 3.) do i have to root phone before flashing? i would really like to have root access.
3. i was unable to do hard reset of phone with power + volume down button. or any other trick didn't work. i couldn't not enter android recovery options. i followed instruction on how to root my phone on
Code:
developersonymobile(dotcom)/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
. i entered
Code:
*#*#7378423#*#*
to check if my device is unlockable, it says boot loader unlock allowed : No. Does this mean i won't be able to have root acces on my phone? or i still have to learn difference between terms or what they mean.
also is that really true what they warn about that there is no turning back after i root phone and all. won't just hard reseting phone or repair device with all defaults troubh pc sofware bring back and vipe everything back? how will than service know if phone has been rooted ever?
thank you in advance for all your answers.
"Bootloader unlock allowed : No" <= this means you can't use UBL ROMs or custom kernels.
You can always root and use LBL ROMs though. There are plenty of LBL ROMs out there to try.
You can always un-root your phone. And you can always repair your phone's OS by flashing the Stock ROM via flashtool. Doing so would remove root access as well, no one would know you ever rooted.
Root using towelroot.
Get recoveries by Dssmex.
Then flash LBL ROMs, mods, ports etc. that you want.
and Be careful when you flash anything,
Read the threads, don't try to flash any UBL ROM as it may brick your device.
First thank you for helping.
UBL is unlocked boot loader right? and L is locked. sorry to doubt your last tip but i need to double check was it typo or...? you said don't flash UBL. isnt that supposed to say don't flash LBL. or i have totally got this wrong. maybe i don't know what what's LBL and UBL.
but just to be safe? where can i find stock ROM? i tried official site, they don't let me download firmware manualy. only trough sony PC companion automatic repiar. Which is ok too i guess. else i can download sony flash tool callsed emma, but i cannot get login info since they need about 7 days to approve my registration.
so my first step is to root my phone. ok i will do that. i might do it manualy, not trough application though.
what about sim lock? after i root phone, is there sim unlock command or what? and do i need code...how do you unlock your phone to be able to use other SIM.

Welcome.
And no, I did mean "Don't flash UBL ROMs"
UBL = Unlocked Bootloader
LBL = Locked Bootloader
The ROMs that are made for Unlocked Bootloaders are UBL ROMs.
Unlocked Bootloader users can use both LBL and UBL ROMs.
But since your device's Bootloader cannot be unlocked, you can only use LBL ROMs.
It's written in almost all ROM threads if it's a LBL or an UBL ROM. But if it isn't specified, then be sure it's UBL. (Like all 5.1 ROMs are for UBL)
Download stock ftf from here.
Use Flashtool v0.9.18.5
and I can't say about the last one as I don't use a carrier locked device.
Try and see what happens.
thank you again for reply. you've been very helpfull with all info.

that is exactly from where i got it the first time. also same flashtool version. after i tried to use that firmware, my phone bricked.
even though it's stock ROM, probably cause my phone had locked bootloader (i finally found article on what is bootloader and i got it now).
but after this, i have used sony software to recover my phone and it works again.
now important stuff. so my device's bootloader cannot be unlocked. does that 100% means that i'm stuck with locked bootloader and no way of getting it unlocked.
even on sony offical site there is process tutorial how to unlock bootloader, and it says "if you device isn't listed, than you cannot unlock bootloader".
but it IS listed and I AM able to get the unlock code for it. now i'm confused. can i still do the process showed?
another confusing thing is where i read about bootloader, it says that for to be able to root i need to flash custom ROM, and to do that i need to unlock bootloader.
but you have provided link for "towelroot" which was able to get my phone root acces. is it different from rooting my phone manualy after unlocking bootloader. how did it manage to root it anyway? and with towelroot it still has bootloader locked. actually it says "boot loader unlock allowed: NO!". now begs the question does that mean, not allowed, but i can be unobidient one and still unlock it without clearance, or does it mean .."you're stuck with locked bootloader. deal with it!. if you try to unlock bootloader your phone will brick"!.
i think after i get answer to this, than it would be my last question for this topic
also again, thank you for answering all previous questions...and this one, hopefully

Did you install the drivers properly (Flashmode, fastboot, viskan common) ?
You need to disable driver signature verification before installing drivers if you're on Win 8/8.1/probably 10 too.
And flashtool should work perfectly in both LBL and UBL phones.
You said your service menu says, "Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
Even if you get a BL unlock code you can't unlock it coz it's not allowed.
And by messing with the bootloader or trying to flash UBL ROMs may permanently brick your phone.
And different phones have different rooting processses. Rooting our SP is easier than most other phones by TowelRoot.
And "Bootloader unlock allowed : No" is more like a "You're stuck with locked bootloader. deal with it!. If you try to unlock bootloader your phone will brick!".
And you can still use a lot of LBL ROMs, from 4.3 to 5.0. So don't worry Lol.
Welcome
i did install fastboot and drivers and everything acording to tutorial. i payed attention on par "pay attention to this. be sure to install drivers correctly, lol"
i'm using win 7 64bit sp1. i have disabled UAC. i'm alaways running as admin. as for flashtool. software works perfectly..it just fail flashing.
it goes to part where i need to unplug phone and plug in holding volume something button..it says on poppup. than i plug in phone and it starts flasshing..it goes up to 40% something percent. if finish few files but when it comes to system.(something) i forgot extension, it says failed. flasshing stopped. than after that i can't turn on phone again.
i couldn't untill i recovered via Sony PC companion. i did try to flash it several times with several roms. i think it's cause my provider messed with bootloader. they locked it together with sim. on official sony site. it says:
"Note! Even if your device is listed here, certain releases of the device model may not be supported due to operator restrictions. Please select your device on the Start tab to check if your particular device can be unlocked."
anyway, i even got my provider's firmware trough flashtool download system, got my provider's name and exact same firmware that was installed. it still failed on same file.
than after i recovered i didn't try to flash anymore. i don't even know what's the point, if i can have root access without it.
i'm not so keen on installing other android version, unless this one gives me problem. for that i need to unlcok phone first to be able to even use it or test it so far it's has been t urned off most of the time

I see.. I'm not actually sure why Flashtool isn't working.
Anyways some good 4.4.4 LBL ROMs are 'CM11 by Bagyusz', 'Omni-X by NeildownX', PA etc.
Try them if you want.

I assume you're now on a rooted stock ROM.
Follow this to get recoveries.
Reboot, when you see the Blue LED burn, press vol down to enter TWRP recovery.
can i use cm-11-20150822-UNOFFICIAL with flashtool so i avoid installing recoveris or CWMP?
flashtool worked for me it just gave me an error during flashing one of the files....that might be cause i didn't know difference between LBL roms and UBL roms. maybe problem was incorrect rom type for my phone.
i tried to install recovery tools. and i had some problems...when i swhitched on phone there was no light showdown,,just red led...and after phone entered safe mode. but not in recovery menu.
i sure have no idea what to do...now everything is so strange.
to be honest i'm considering dropping this whole thig of and use stock rom as it is...
it would be cool if there would be automatic debloat application which will remove all bloatware...
or at least bloatware list of apps i can delete manually, without loosing important function on my phone. than i would not need custom rom!

If you're on CM11 by Bagyusz, Open Terminal Emulator and enter the following codes,
su
./system/bin/recovery.sh
^ it will give you access to recovery when you see the red LED while booting.
If you decide to go back to stock, you can freeze/remove these apps.
I made the list when I was on stock. Take a backup before removing them just to be safe.

Hello
i have to sell my device so i want to get it to stock again.
My current Setup:
Bootloader Unlocked, Stock Recovery, Rooted with Magisk, Stock ROM 9.0.0.283
What are the Steps to go Back to Stock and wipe everything?
Ive read that if the bootloader relock again it is not able to unlock the second time? Is this correct? I want to get the Unlock Code to the person who buy it but if its real, he cant use the code anymore..
anyway is it possible to do the job with the Stock E-Recovery in the current state of my phone? Without bootloader Relocked? Or is it necessary to relock the bootloader again?
Thank you very much

Ask the buyer if they want it locked. Personally it wouldn't be worth my time if it couldn't be unlocked again. Better to check first..
If you want to lock (not relock) bl justdownload your adequate firmware from androidhost.ru and flash fw using Usb-otg method.
You can unlock/lock your bl using unlock code anytime you want (provided you haven't changed your mainboard in the meantime).

I thought you wanted to go back to stock. I've already gave you solution to bring back all the way stock.
I m not sure if it's even possible to re-lock bootloader using fastboot when you're on pie.
Bootloader status re-locked still means your warranty is void.

Hey I've tried this otg method but without success
If I try it with the dload folder option and try to force flash the emui updater throws an error.
Even with the dialer code method.. same..
I'm not able to get it to stock.
I've tried the Huawei suite on PC and phone in fastboot mode..same..massage this phone can't be reset or so..
What can I do next?
Current state, halfway working phone that's boot into os 2 times from 10 reboots.
