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.

well you can sim-unlock using the sieempi method instead of the unlock code, like many others successfully did

I guess nobody will know for sure until April 19th, but I've seen conflicting reports online that the HTC One Developer Edition is S-ON and then I've also read it's S-OFF.
Does anybody have any other information on this?
It's not gonna be s-off. Confirmed by HTC dev reps on twitter.

My thoughts exactly it's just sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked. Much cheaper imo to just buy a sim unlocked one for $100 cheaper and unlock the bootloader myself.

Ok, so this is going to be my first Android phone (I'm currently using an iPhone 5) and obviously I have a LOT of reading, but how big of problem is it that this isn't S-Off? Will I still be able to use Cyanogen ROMs, etc? What are the other disadvantages?

You can still flash roms with S-On, just not radios or kernels inside recovery . This has to be done via fast boot. Therefore you need to have access to a PC to flash kernels .

Yes you can still use cyanogenmod. S-Off is just for those guys who really want 100% control over their phone.
iaeonn stock,
Ahhh, OK. Thanks!
So basically you can still do everything (i.e. flash kernels, ROMs, etc) you can with S-On that you can with S-Off but you need a PC to enter fastboot mode (?)

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.

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.

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.

Hey guys,
A couple of days ago I recieved my One after I sent it for repairs.
They fixed my camera issue but changed my phone back to s-on. So now i'm left with a relocked phone with s-on.
I can't seem to re-unlock my phone by using htc's unlocking guide. After flashing the token it doesn't go into unlocking mode.
So i need some help with that. I'm on hboot 1.56 and 4.4 stock sense. Not rooted. Stock recovery.
Htcdev isnt able to help me so i completely rely on you guys.
Golden tip means a nice cold one.

have u got a new unlock token or is it the same one as u used earlier? If u are using the same, I guess it may not work coz of the newer hboot. why don't u try getting a new token using another email id and trying the unlock bootloader process.
Also, it would be better if u uploaded a snapshot of the error message
Thanks for helping me. I have already tried 4 new tokens on different emails. I'm not getting any error message. It flashes succesfully.
But the "Unlock mode" doesnt pop up. It did when i unlocked it the first time.
Believe me when i say that i tried everything known to men ^^.

Got the same problem.
New phone I'm afraid.
Or a VERY slim chance of an ruu, but I doubt that as I've already reflashed the firmware, and an ruu would only add system and data to that.
Don't have the option for an ruu anyway as I'm on 3.62.401 that or something newer isn't available.
So.. if you're guy sorts it I'd love to know how.

Yeah its a very weird issue. My guy sent my issue to their bootloader devs. They are now compiling some sort of RUU that will completely reset my phone to when if came out of the factory. So that means: New bootloader, s-on and locked. I really hope it works since this is driving me crazy.
Ofc i will let you know if it works. I also asked @mike1986. for his help. He's kinda the god of The One.

Cool.. what firmware you on? Model etc..
I picked up a used HTC One M7 yesterday, locked to T-Mobile, thinking I could do what I usually do, buy an unlock code for $4 on eBay and use the phone.
Problem is, when I tried to get the unlock code, sellers told me they couldn't find the unlock code for the IMEI I gave them.
So I compared it to the one on the box, and it is different.
I loaded up bootloader, and saw it's unlocked, so now I know someone messed with the phone.
My problem is this:
If I want to use an official unlock code, it will only work with a stock ROM. Now, in order to change the IMEI back to the original one, I have to root (already done) and switch S-OFF. However, when I attempted to run Firewater, it told me I have to try a different kernel, because the one that's installed has an anti-firewater lock.
If I change the kernel, the ROM will no longer be stock, and then I won't be able to use the unlock code anymore, correct?
I did find another way to unlock the phone which uses a custom Config.dat file, but that's a last resort and I'm not certain if it will work or not, so I'm not really sure what I should do at this point to actually get this phone unlocked.
Originally, my plan was to unlock it and then install Cyanogenmod.
Can someone please help? I've spent hours on this today already and I'm running on empty.
Ok, I got the unlock code and tried it but it says it's invalid, so it definitely won't work with the modified IMEI (wasn't really expecting it would).
So I'm left with the challenge of reverting the IMEI back to factory. In order to do that, S-OFF needs to be set, and for that I need to run firewater, however, this is what I keep getting:
ERROR: kernel contains HTC anti-firewater patch!
****** Try again with a different kernel ******
I've tried installing the elemental kernel, and it gives me the same error.
I'm running 4.4.3, Sense 6, bootloader 1.57
Really not sure what to do next.
You won't find anything here. Changing the IMEI is illegal and not to be talked about here
Well that's lame. I'm not asking because I want to perform an illegal act, I just want to restore my phone to it's proper settings so I can actually use it.

Well that's the thing. Changing it in any way is an illegal act. Any tool that could help has been banned from the site for years and if no original backup was made sending it in for repair is the only option I can offer.
Yeah, I suppose if I can't figure it out I'll try to find a tech in town that can help.
But I don't necessarily need specific step by step instructions on how to modify the IMEI, just some general guidance with getting S-OFF working properly, and making sure I don't mess anything up so that when I do revert back to stock I can still use the unlock code I got.
I just re-locked the bootloader and am now installing the RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_TMOUS_3.24.531.3_Radio_4A.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04_release_336982_signed_2(2).exe I downloaded, which I'm running in Parallels, since Mac seems to be fairly limited with some things.
After I get that installed and working, I'm going to see if I can go through the steps of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and trying firewater again.
If that doesn't work, maybe I'll try installing the latest cyanogenmod build, and trying to get firewater to set S-OFF after that.
You may have many issues if you doing all this on a mac.
Ref lashing the stock ROM has been known to help some. Not all but a few it worked on.
The IMEI change could also be a main board replacement. Then the IMEI on device would be correct and the one on the box would be wrong.
The serial number is still the same.
I re-locked the bootloader to try and install that ruu, but it got stuck and now it won't boot past hboot.
I'm running the cyanogenmod installer now because I don't know what else to do.
You could also try to S-OFF with revone, which got stuck for me at a certain point, but I went S-OFF anyway.
I tried revone because I had the same issue with firewater as you had.
Alright, I'm not going to get into all the crap I went through trying to get s-off, but suffice to say it was a colossal waste of time.
Ended up buying Sunshine and that worked like a charm when I ran it after restoring the factory T-Mobile rom.
Changing the IMEI back was ridiculously easy once I had s-off.
HOWEVER, the unlock code doesn't work! It tells me it's invalid.
I bought my Nexus 6 through AT&T last November. It is paid off and I am in my normal right to unlock. I requested my code from AT&T, but it doesn't work when entered. Anyone else experience this? I get the unsuccessful error upon entering the code.
I do have the boot loader unlocked, customer Kernel, and root. Does this make a difference and potentially could be causing my issue?? Any other solutions?
Thanks

I don't think it's the modifications to your device. My N6 was bootloader unlocked, decrypted kernel, and rooted when I used the AT&T supplied carrier unlock code.
FWIW: the 1st attempt to unlock it, it didn't work for me. On the 2nd attempt (after a reboot in between) it did work. Sorry, but I don't have a clue why...

I think you might have to be stock for the code to work. I know some of my phones in the past, you had to be stock.

You might be right. But, for God's sake, don't relock the bootloader!

I remember a carrier version of the HTC hero wouldn't accept the code on stock. I had to root and Rom it to get the code to work.. That's how I got into all this.
