So I had some trouble with my carrier and decided to end my 24month agreement with them due to lack of support and bad reception...
Anyhows, now I am left here with a locked HTC One, how do I sim unlock it/carrier unlock it ? I have Root and S-off, so obviously also unlocked bootloader.
It is the international version, I am running viperone 4.2.2 I belive
I would be so grateful if you could help me
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
My question is rather simple.
I received my HTC One yesterday. It is branded by the French carrier Sosh.
I'd like to debrand it, so I cans put the stock HTC Sense Rom.
The carrier will send me an unlock code next week.
Can I do everything to debrand my phone, and then only sim unlock it?
Will I lose the official sim unlock passing the device to S-OFF, unlocking the bootloader, etc...?
Thank you very much for your help, I'd really appreciate.

Unlocking the bootloader, rooting, s-off and stock rom will not remove the sim lock.
The only way to sim unlock without paying a third party is to wait for the unlock code
Thank you for your answer.
And in another way, I can do everything, and only then, enter the code?

Yes you should be fine
I also think it does not make sense which you will do first. If unlocking the bootloader, S-Off, root cannot unlock the phone wwhy they will locked it after unlocked from the carrier with code from same. Also if there is any reason the phone to be locked itself you will have already the code to unlock it again.

Hello,
I am very sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread. My question is I am planning on buying a blue AT&T unlocked m7 from eBay. But I want to be sure that I will have the option to root/unlock boot loader for the GPE 5.0 if wanted. Is every GSM M7 able to? not sure if there is something special about it being blue.
Is there anyway to tell if I can or not?
Thank you so much!

If it's at&t Unlocking the bootloader shouldn't be a problem. You can do it at www.htcdev.com
To convert to GPE requires s-off which depending on the devices current firmware may cost extra. As you may need to use sunshine to s-off which costs $25. There are free exploits but non guarantee s-off on newer firmwares.
There are only 2 types of HTC one I know of that can't be unlocked and that's Verizon and GPE.
Hi all, I'm giving away my old m7 to a friend and when we put the sim card in, it reports it is network locked. I have purchased a code from unlock river, but it's saying it's wrong. I just wanted to check if anyone has had this problem when unlocking a modded phone? The phone is running viper one 9, s-off, unlocked bootloader etc. It did have super cid but I reverted that back to t mobile UK to see of that made a difference but it didn't. The new sim is gsm like the old one. It could still be the code, but I wonder if the mods aren't helping.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
So I run into that problem eventually.
I am not from the states and I bought the phone unlocked from a friend.
After some months of use the Not a valid sim card popped up.
I contacted HTC support and they didn't know how to fix this.
I am thinking of removing the sprint rom completely and installing the Unlocked/Developer one.
I am not a pro with these stuff so I would like to ask if that would be possible and if I could do something else instead.
The phone runs with 6.20.651.3 marshmallow.
Thanks in advance.
Is your phone s-off ?? U cant unlock the phone just by flashing the unlocked developer version . Try the sim unlocked methods posted in sprint htc m8 general fourms

Hello, I am very new so I'm a little nervous about posting but can somebody please help me?
I have a Sprint HTC One M8 and I have the unlock code from Sprint, however when I put in my sim card the phone reads "Invalid Card". I think this is because I would like to use the phone with T-mobile, a domestic carrier in the US. If somebody knows how to unlock the phone for domestic carriers and can help me or give me instructions I would be very grateful. I'd even be willing to pay if someone could take the time to figure this out. I have tried the unlock tutorials on the forum, but nothing has worked for domestic.

Good luck with your research. Domestic SIM unlock has not been successfully done on M8 as far as I know. There were some people did the domestic SIM unlock on M7 back in 2013 and you may want to leverage their work in your try (search in M7 forums). Sprint classified the M8 as international unlock capable and domestic – non capable in their website. M9 and up series have the capacity to get factory GSM unlock to use domestically. Please share your work if you get success.

Thank you for your reply sir. Which steps exactly are you referring to?
Because a friend got two sprint m8 relocked after he upgraded them to marshmallow. Is sim unlock confirmed for marshmallow? I see no posts to affirm this sir.
