Hi,
One friend just give me a HTC under Windows Phone ( HTC 8S )
I tried all the day to root/flash the phone to desimlock my phone like i did on my GS2..
I really don't know how to do, an other problem is the password that i can't acces the phone to use the "debugging usb mode"
Can you help me please. Thanks
Rémi
I don't believe it is either necessary or possible to SIM-unlock by flashing a Windows phone. I just bought mine unlocked, others have had success by calling either the OEM or the mobile operator to which it is locked.
It is definitely not possible to root an HTC Windows phone at this time.
Windows Phone is not Android. It's pretty pointless to assume that they will work the same way.

That's right, flashing a Windows Phone (Stock ROM), does not desimlock the device.

Hmm so i don't need to flash a rom to sim-unlock the phone ok but there is a method to sim-unlock it ? ^^'
I saw a method with the Y cable but it look dangerous and unstable like method, also i don't have the Y cable lol

There is a method for unbranded HTC 8X, for some, this method works for HTC 8S with a specific CID.
For unlock your SIM of your HTC 8S, you can always contact your network operator.
This is the best way...

Yeah i know but if I post here it's because I can't call the opertor..
I don't think it's possible to Sim unlock it yourself, I only know of the debranding thing. Got an 8S myself.

Follow the guide posted above. After unlocking it you might have issue when connecting to other carrier s network so be sure they are using compatible frequencies. I'm almost sure you will not be able to connect it to any other CDMA carrier. Normally CDMA carriers will not accept a phone on their network if not sold by them.
Next time if you are planning to switch carriers, buy a gsm phone, much easier! even with a locked gsm phone, you'll only need to sim-unlock the phone with a purchased code then put in any gsm sim card.
Sorry I can't help you more, I'm not familiar with the WLS variant.

Actually i was using this phone before and i tried to update my phone somethin went wrong and ended up without os so now i installed viperone and i'm unable to use it now
Hello,
I am currently living in Europe and i have a Sprint M8. Unfortunately s-off is not compatible with my phone (u might know about the whelp message).
I dont know even if this is possible, but if any of u guys has a contract with SPRINT, can you request an international SIM Unlock (GSM) for me (i dont need unlock for USA carriers, just for other international carriers)?
I can pay if the fee is acceptable.
Thanx!
first why would you get the Sprint version if you live abroad?
second sprint can unlock it so long as its payed off (not on someones contract) and hasnt been reported lost or stolen. just call sprint
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
I cant call sprint from where I live. If somebody can do it for me im willing to pay.
I contacted Sprint from their Live Chat, and they told me i have to have an active contract with them in order to unlock. Which i dont have
Can anybody help?

if you want to try something on your responsibility then you can follow the sim unlock method without s-off (remember to make nand backup) & try if you get your device unlocked, if not then you will need to enable gsm band with QPST, with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.
I followed all that sim unlock method but my device still locked & i can't select gsm networks then i enabled it with QPST & all things worked ok.
the difference between us is s-off only.
I already tried it and the .apk files on /system/apps are replaced after i make the reboot. I guess this is why s-off is needed... I think i have to wait for the new s-off. Or till somebody with a Sprint contract will help me (if it is even possible since im in europe right now)

Try the following on you responsibility
- You should know your SPC, you can read it with CDMA Workshop or CDMA DFS Tool.
- Install QSPT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391)
- enable diag mode ##3424#
- open QPST configuration, from port tab add your device diagnostics port.
- from start clients tab choose service programming then ok & click on read from phone.
- on system tab choose automatic for roam preferences.
- on UMTS System tab choose any for pref service domain & any band (last bottom right) for proffered band.
- click write to phone, then your device should work on GSM mode with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.
I'm with rooted, S-Off , bootloader unlocked HTC One M8 Sprint variant... I've even tried sim unlock... But it's still not accepting GSM sim cards... I think we need to have specific Prl update or UICC unlock for it to work

geeez... guess I can try one of those unlock sites..
Hey guys i got a SFR (France) sim locked M7 running latest lollipop firmware. When i insert any sim other than Vodafone it reads it but doesn't register to the network neither asks me for an unlock code.
With a Vodafone sim i only have cell phone connection when i'm on 4G coverage. On any other band i only get data connection and i can't make or receive any calls or sms.
After searching around internet (xda the most) i found out that i can sim unlock with a config.dat file but only if i'm on earlier hboot as this method was patched by htc and trying it could render the phone unusable..
So i have 2 questions now:
1) Is it possible to downgrade to let's say 1.28.401.7 (as i already have this RUU) without bricking the phone? Or, in other words, is it possible to downgrade the phone to any firmware before kitkat?
2) If it ain't possible to downgrade is their any other way to sim unlock the phone??
Thanks in advance for any help..

If you have s-off, you can downgrade to any version you want safely by flashing a ruu.
sieempi sim-unlock should work fine, I think clsA also sim-unlocked one of his M7 using this method. Otherwise it looks like Sunshine s-off tool can also be used to sim-unlock since a recent update. Check changelog 3.1 and 3.1.1 here: http://theroot.ninja/download.html
Nice find bro.. I'll try sunshine right now and if it can't unlock I'll go for the other method.
Thanks a lot..

are you talking about the HTC one M8 in your signature ?
if so, 401 WWE (generic) are already unlocked, if that is the original firmware, if not, you need to have stock rom on the phone to unlock it.
I have a Vodafone M7 sat by me which came with 401 firmware on it rather than the Vodafone branded firmware which is already unlocked, and the same goes for my virgin mobile M8 sat by me, 401 firmware, already unlocked.

If your phone is sprint you can only use roms, recovery, kernel and etc made for the sprint version. Stuff for the standard version won't work on your sprint variant.
I'm not really aware of the sim unlock method for the sprint variant but if it requires s-off then you'll need to use sunshine s-off which is the only tool that will s-off your phone and you'll be happy to know that this tool cost 25$ to use...
For your connectivity issues check that your USB cable is the original cable or at least that it's a data cable. There are cheap USB cable that will only charge device without providing a data connection.

Like I've said if the sim unlock method for the sprint variant does requires the phone to be s-off first then you have no other choice than using Sunshine to achieve s-off. All these free methods of achieving s-off were patched with bootloader updates (your phone is running Android 5.0.2 so its on the latest bootloader) over the years and the only method that still works is Sunshine.
