They all say that you should type in Terminal Emulator on phone:
su
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
and you should find in bounch of numbers the 8 digit number above the IMEI and that should be the unlock code. I tried that but can't find either the imei or unlock code. The mmcblk0p6 file IS in /dev/block. Any solution?

Thanks for the info, my SXL is already unlocked, but following this pattern i will look into the phone to find the partition we use, and will post here my findings and you can test the solution.

Using this
Code:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
you will find the same things as you find in this thread.
Personally i got the CID, some code, the IMEI and other stuff under it, so i believe the thing above the IMEI should be the unlocking code, but not it is made from 8 digits and should not be the one that starts with lots of 000 (i got that too )
I would apreciate if you could provide a screenshot, as i have an unlocked phone and it could be different at you.

Note that i'm using the ICS Radio and .28 Hboot, don't know if things are different on other Radion or Hboot versions, but i just wanted to put it here
Ok, thanks.
I tryed this:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
and i actually got the 8 digit code above the imei, but first 5 digits are 0, don't know if i should try that code. Here is screenshot.

Are you S-OFF?
That is not my code, then
Yes, I am s-off.

Have you tried a different SIM since you S-OFF'ed your device? It seems that on some device, the device becomes sim-unlocked when you S-OFF it.
Yes i tried it, and i tried it again just now, it is sim-locked.
I tried this:
sh /sdcard/simfinder.sh
in the link you posted, and got bounch of 8 digits numbers from mmcblk0p29. Maybe there is unlock code, but which one?
Maybe I have to be in stock rom to find unlock code, or it doesn't matter?

29 is the data partition, there is no chance to find the unlock code there... Don't have any ideea for now, it could be done in another way but will need to investigate further.

Problem is I don't think you can find the code unless your device is locked to a specific carrier.
Sent from my Sensation XL using XDA Premium HD app
I am locked to carrier, maybe we can compare some data from mmc?
Strange thing happened today, when i try the other sim card and restart the phone, don't got message "network is locked" and dialpad to enter the code, instead got locked screen, in status bar no network, but when tried to unlock the screen it was unresponsive! So, no screen and soft buttons are working, only power and volume button does, and i can't unlock screen and can't use phone in any way. When i remove that sim and put the one from my carrier or no sim at all, everything back to normal, i tried that couple of times. Just to mention, i DID NOT enter any unlock code ever, just to try. Why that happened?
EDIT: just flash another rom and it is ok, got the "enter unlock code" screen.
I bought unlock code online from trusted source, but doesn't work. I was on aosp rom but read somewhere that you must be on sense rom to accept the code. So i flash some sense rom, not working again. Then i tried ics stock rooted rom, no good, then tried gb stock rooted rom, because the phone was on gb rom when it's locked, no good. Then i found somewhere that some other devices accepted the code when you flash different radio, so i tried that, no good either. Then i relocked bootloader and flash gb ruu, no good, then flash ics ruu, guess what, no good. I tried everything but the code seems to be false.

hi there, I'm working on a method to unlock the samsung galaxy W 8150 device and am interested in your findings. what's this about a 'sense' rom? do you simply mean a stock sensation XL rom? thanks,
Foxy
Yes, i mean the stock rom the phone came with from factory, basically that must be the rom that was on the phone when it is locked.

thanks, just restored my CWM backup. now working on some strange busy box/terminal emulator issue. so, my friend, do you have your original rom installed? or a back up somewhere? i've trying to make a script that should work on a variety of phones - so since i posted on your thread, i will keep you posted too.
Sorry my friend, i sold my Sensation XL long time ago, i'm on HTC One X now...

I converted my HTC One from Bell to the Google Play edition. The sim unlock code I received is not being accepted. Would I need to revert back to a stock Bell rom in order for it to work?
thanks.

Yes. Thats what i had to do. Seems most have to go back to a stock ROM in order for the unlock code to work. S-off and unlocked bootloader don't matter. Just the ROM part has to be a stock ROM.

I wish I had read your reply before flashing relocking and flashing the AT&T RUU. It worked though, Now I'm back to the Google Play Edition RUU, unlocked and my phone is now sim unlocked as well. Thanks for the reply!

Questions: I am actually trying to unlock it so I can sell it as I decided on a different phone.
I am completely stock right now on the Stock Google Edition 4.3 Rom, Firmware and Recovery. Phone is still unlocked bootloader and S-OFF.
To do this, I would need to
1) Change CID from the Google one to 11111111 just for flashing back stuff
2) Flash a custom recovery
3) Flash the stock 4.2.2 Rom
4) Unlock
5) Change CID back to the Google One
6) Flash the Google RUU again?
I want to sell it as a converted Google Edition as there is more demand on ebay for it. I will note its converted.
Question
Do I need to flash different firmware before flashing the 4.2.2 rom since I'm on Google Edition 4.3 Newest firmware/radios?
OR
Since I'm going to reset it anyways, would Flashing the BrightstarUS WWE RUU work? Then change CID To Bell One? (Somebody confirm this CID for me?) Then attempt the unlock. Then change CID Back to the Googl001 one, and flash back the Google Edition 4.3 RUU. Would this work? I wish Bell had a RUU.
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.

No it is original rom, original recovery but still not accepting. In attempt to flash i loaded up custom recovery now but unable to find any stock rom ruu on three. Hbot is 1.54 and s on and bootloader locked (i unlocked it using htcdev now)

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).
Looking to unlock an AT&T version of the HTC One to T-Mobile. I do have an unlock code but it's not working. The phone is rooted and running ARHD 51. I just flashed a different stock rom, tried the code once again but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

I heard you need to be stock to use a sim-unlock code so you might want to try back to 100% stock then use the code. If it still don't work then maybe you could purchase a new code.

Check your IMEI number and cross reference it with your original to make sure they match. My phone is doing the same thing and it came back from mobile tech videos jtag repair and my numbers are all wrong. Looking for a solution now but my serial number and IMEI numbers are different.
Just a thought, Shot in the dark

Do some searching here (in the Q&A) section, there were quite a few SIM Unlock threads solved (quite a while ago), I can't exactly remember, but it used to be a combo of
1- stock rom (or very close) but matching to firmware version
2- possibly stock recovery
3- possibly locked/relocked bootloader
4- s-off / s-on doesn't matter
I believe number 1 was the most important, can't say/remember about 2 and 3, and quite sure S-Off won't matter.

you don't need s-off, you just need to relock the bootloader
Hmmm still no luck. Been working at this for a while now, not sure what the problem is. Selling it is the only solution I can think of right now, but there must be a way to unlock this for my carrier.
Hello. I have a similar issue, so I don't think I should create another topic.
I just purchased a 64gb HTC One and purchased the unlock code from the same vendor as always. I was always able to unlock other devices (One XL, One X+, Windows phone 8X) easily, and even other Ones, since this is my fouth (first one I gave to my brother, second slipped off my pocket while in a tunnel riding my motorcycle and the third is 32gb, so I decided to sell it and buy a 64gb).
This one is used like new, everything stock, s-on, nothing unusual. Well, except the led seems to be smaller (very hard to see the red dot while charging) and the system may be newer, since it doens't find any update available.
But the code doesn't work. I tried twice thinking I could be misspelling the numbers, but returned wrong anyway.
So...
1-What happens if I try again and it returns wrong, since it's showing it's my last try?
2-Any clue?
Thanks in advance.
Does your phone work on any network? What carrier is it branded?
Best thing is to email (carrier) support and get a code from them.
This thread is for devices that have a security cross reference back end problems.
Does your phone say it accepts the code then restarts then asks for the code again?

In my experience, I'm not getting anything showing my number of attempts or last attempt. I've tried the unlock code about 8-10 times on different roms stock and non stock and stock recovery. I really have no idea.

All my HTCs always shown a counter.
Today, after restoring the phone to stock ruu, it wasn't showing any counter anymore, so I decided to try again the code I purchased (and other code sellers confirmed) and it worked.
Very strange... but now it's unlocked.

After a lot of painstaking effort, I managed to flash a stock RUU, got back to a stock recovery, and locked the bootloader. Got the same unlock code from two separate vendors. No dice. Incredibly frustrating, don't know what's wrong with my phone but now I have to sell it.
