Hi All,
Hi have the HTC One Locked to Rogers, I had previously unlocked the phone as Im with Koodo. I purchased an unlock code and everything worked just find I was using the phone on the Koodo network for several months, then one day it lock up at the quietly brilliant screen after several attempts I was able to reboot the phone and same thing happened, again after a reboot it finally wouldn't power up. Needless to say I had to send it in under warrantied repair. I got the phone back and the main-board had to be replaced. I attempted to unlock the phone again via code just as I did before using IMEI, each individual states that a code could not be generated. I have rooted devices before but I'm no seabiscuit if you know what I mean and am not entirely sure to what extent I need to go to root and unlock the phone. Before anyone says anything about the rooting/unlocking i know this wont immediately solve my problem but if I have this access can I not find the unlock code in the phone once rooted in addition to other alternatives?. I appreciate any help you guys and gals have to offer.
Thank you

Anyone??? I'm sure I can root this thing but don't know where to go from there.
You will need a new unlock code generated to sim unlock the phone. Has nothing to do with rooting the device. Unless you mean bootloader unlock??

I mentioned I had done this! Unlock code cannot be generated for this IMEI after repair. I am fully aware that rooting will not resolve this. However I will need to root in order to attempt an unlock of carrier via whatever methods are available once rooted such as using hex editor custom roms or whatever other methods are available. Again phone was unlocked via code previously after repair the main-board was replaced and an unlock code cant be generated apparently for the new IMEI.
Are you saying that you can't buy a SIM unlock code?

I bought an unlock code twice, both times I was told that my IMEI could not generate an unlock code. The codes were bought from a reputable source. I was refunded both times. This phone was sent for repair they replaced the main-board. Prior to this repair phone was unlocked via sim
There is no way to unlock via rooting currently.
Perhaps wait a few months and the code may come in to system

Cell Unlocker says they have the unlock code for the Vivid with a 100% guarantee and they say it's permanent. Is this the same unlock code that we need?

That's likely a SIM unlock code, which will allow the phone to work with a carrier other than the one that sold it. There's also a bootloader unlock code that we're supposed to be able to get direct from HTC at htcdev.com that will allow us to flash custom software to the phone, but right now nobody seems to have succeeded in getting that.
As bjg222 said. That is sim unlock to use it on another GSM carrier.

You may be right. I will send them an E-Mail and ask them.
Thanks for your input.
Yes it is a sim card unlock, finally got an answer from my E-Mail

Yeah, most reports so far say that the AT&T version gives an error when going through the process on htcdev.com. (Haven't tried it personally, my phone won't be here till tomorrow)

I did go through the HTCDev.com site and followed the directions to submit for a Bootloader Unlock Code. It does error out say CID Not Allowed. This doesnt surprise me give the phone launched on Sunday.
I'm actually looking for a SIM unlock so I can use the Raider with a non Bell SIM. Tried Cellunlocker.net and despite the site saying they have it (and paying for it) I was emailed a couple of days later with a refund saying they don't have it yet.
Anyone know of a site that has the unlock code?
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).
hey, this is my first post on here.
A while ago I got my Xperia Z which is unlocked to all networks and I checked in the service menu and it said I could unlock the bootloader so I did so and installed my own roms, then it became faulty so I got it repaired but before so I flashed the stock rom on there just incase it was refused to be repaired because of the custom rom.
When I got it back I discovered in the service menu my bootloader can no longer but unlocked and I cannot root it or put CWM on it or anything as I keep getting errors... any advise?
I tried using the original bootloader unlock code I got but the phone rejects it saying something like 'FAILED remote does not have permission' or something along those lines in the CMD while using the fastboot code.

I've got my phone rooted now following a guide but it hasn't helped
Make sure your mobo has not changed, and ask Sony for a new unlock code
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
If in service menu, and in bootloader unlock = NO, then it mean your motherboard has been changed, or the person that do the repair just change another phone for you which is unable to unlock..bootloader unlock = NO status mean no matter how you do it, the phone cannot longer be unlock as the phone hardware has been lock for specific carrier(usually)...
I tried anyway putting my IMEI into the sony website and got a new unlock code but that will still not unlock the bootloader, and my issue never got fixed as I was told that the motherboard would need to be replaced and I couldn't afford it, and I'm concerned as to why my IMEI has changed and I can no longer unlock my bootloader and I've tried downloading a new stock rom and flashing it and my phone is unlocked to all networks still as that was the way I got it and it is still this way.

Just continuing into that thread, is that possible to mod the carrier? I used to send my SXZ to the sav, get it back, unlocked the BL tried a rom and (was-i think- tired) I relocked it -_-, and from now on can't unlock the BL anymore,is there a solution or I just need to reflash the TA, put everything to stock and send it back to sav?

In an attempt to use my locked AT&T HTC One phone on my T-mobile service I used the Cyanogenmod Installer to root my HTC one and hope to use it on the T-mobile network; I also unlocked the bootloader via HTC website. The newest Cyanogenmod is installed (11-20140417-NIGHTLY-m7) and wifi is working, etc. Unfortunately, no phone calls since it keeps asking for SIM Network unlock code (I bought an unlock code...not working). Any suggestions? What should I do? I did some research and I read something about using an RUU...is this a good solution? Thank you all!
Status of phone on bootloader screen is:
S-ON "TAMPERED"

No luck the phone they're referring to is the HTC Amaze it seems.
Does successfully installing Cyanogenmod "unlock" the network as well??

No, bootloader unlock and sim unlock are different things. You'll need to be on the stock rom to input your sim unlock code.

And that's what worked. Thanks!
Hello,
I (still) have the same problem here. I have a DHD that was locked and branded. I followed HTCDev's procedure to unlock the bootloader and installed a Cyanogenmod ROM (unofficial 10.1) two weeks ago that works great. I've been trying to get my phone unlocked for days with no luck ever since.
I've tried using the HTC unlock tool v. 0.9.5/4 and rooting the phone too. Nothing. Drivers are working fine; program executes as expected, but I still have a locked phone after it finishes. I got an unlock code that I enter after booting and I get a "successful network unlock" message, but the radio seems to remain off. I cannot place calls. Attempting to choose a network operator manually from the settings menu fails; I get a "mobile network unavailable" message when doing so (service providers list does not even appear). I've read threads saying that the only way to get around this is by reverting the phone to its original ROM and HBoot, but I've read elsewhere that workarounds on branded phones shipped with Gingerbread or Froyo (like mine used to run) fail and/or screw up the phone, so I have not tried that. Any ideas or pointers?
Thanks!
I have a HTC raider that is locked to bell (a Canadian carrier). Android version is 4.0.3 and software number is 3.38.666.2.
I found some videos on YouTube that show you how to unlock using a code that you buy online so I did that and got a code. I entered this code when prompted and it accepted the code but it didn't unlock the phone. Also it seems that the phone will accept any random 8 digit code but it will not unlock it. Like it will say successfully unlocked from network with any random 8 digit code but when the phone reboots it asks for the code again. The same thing happens with code that I purchased online.
My first question is that the raider on the youtube video asks for "SIM unlock pin" but my phone asks for "IMSI unlock pin", so what is the difference?
Second question is why does the phone accept any random 8 digit code when none of them work? Can my phone even be unlocked with a code?
Third question is are there any other ways to unlock it, like how jailbreaking on iphone you can unlock it via software; is there something like this for the raider. Is rooting a similar thing?
Finally I tried this but it did not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681145
On HBOOT it says S-OFF but on the top it says "locked" and read out was exactly the same as in that post.
Please help.
Ok, so I finally got the bootloader unlocked and its S-OFF and the phone is rooted (I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343625) . Now I'm under the assumption that I need to install a stock or custom rom and my phone will be unlocked? Am I correct in this assumption or is there more to it?
There is somewhere in the dev forum a thread dedicated to sim unlocking the raider via a flashable zip. You have to enter your imei into a website and they email a zip back to you. No idea if the thread is still alive tho, but I have used it to successfully sim unlock 3 of these. For the record I was then and am still using wcx recovery.
