Is there anyway to unlock a HTC One (M7) without have a non-network sim? Such as cmd line etc. I have my unlock code just not a sim, I'm using AIO and the sim works but would like to unlock the sim tray still. Any ideas?

Look, if there is no SIM, then it is already unlocked. Contact your network provider to help you in the process. A command line unlocks the bootloader, not the SIM

I had the same situation with a couple of phones, just go to the nearest phone store/dealer and ask to borrow a sim card, I have not been denied and I don't know any of the employees, and you don't even have to be their customer.
Or just use a friend's/colleague's/etc.

When you don't understand or know the answer, it is best to just not comment lest you make yourself appear less-than-smart. :silly:

OP is asking how to sim-unlock a sim-locked phone if he doesn't have a different sim card other than the one provided by its carrier where the phone was purchased

He is not talking about unlocking bootloader but about sim-unlocking the phone.
@sapplegater
Like suggested above, ask a friend to borrow his sim card, put it in your phone and you'll get prompted to enter your sim-unlock code. Or like said I'm sure you can ask any carrier to borrow a sim card in store, just make them believe you'll take a line with them if your able to sim-unlock your phone.

Hi. The day I got the HTC One (from Bell) I went through the "unlock bootloader" and rooting process. Everything went fine and I've been using various ROMs and Kernels.
My question is: Is my phone "unlocked" as in able to be used with other carriers? I thought that's what unlocking the bootloader is.
I'm asking this because I got a SIM card for cheap roaming in the US, which I tried to test yesterday. When I booted the phone after putting in the Roam sim card, it prompted me to enter an 8 digit access (or pin) code. I had no idea what that was. And when I called support they said I would get that prompt if my phone wasn't unlocked.
So... is unlocking bootloader the same as unlocking from a specific carrier?
Yes, you can use all carrer if your phone isn't SIMLocked by the carrier.
So, seems that your sim is blocked, 8 digit for pin is the puk for unlock your sim.
How can I know 100% if my phone is unlocked? (other than inserting a SIM from another carriers). Is there something in settings that indicates unlocked?

I'm not sure what you mean. The phone was originally branded with Bell Canada. Then I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.

Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with unlocking the phone to use on other carriers. Your device is still SIM locked If you want to be able to use your phone with another carrier's SIM card, you will have to find a website that provides such service, like cellunlocker.netcellunlocker.net

Thanks, that is what I wanted to know!
I try to unlock my Sprint M8,I tried T-mobile and AT&T sim card.
But my phone didn't likes youtube video, My phone didn't ask me about the unlock code. It just simply tell me the sim card is Invalid.
I have tried to use the unlock helper to unlock it, but it just unlock the internation lock.
I still want to unlock the domestic carrier lock.
Is it the ROM problem?
My phone use the Android 4.4.3,and it is S-OFF.
Please help me!
If you're trying to unlock your phone to use it on another domestic carrier, you're not going to be able to do that. SIM unlocking will work for international use.

Can you be more specific? what is your current Rom? and are you able to flash custom roms? if yes try this one and use their unlock method

So I've gotten the unlock code from AT&T but the instructions tell me to insert a SIM card from another carrier in order to get the prompt to enter it. I don't have any other SIM cards at the moment to do this. Is there another way to get the prompt?
Thanks!
I'm also going to give Swappa a try for the first time for this sale rather than eBay. Figured people would be more hip to a carrier unlocked, s-off, GPE custom rom M7 there!
No

just go to another carrier and ask them you wanna test if your phone can connect to their network because you are considering switching to their network. They will try with one of their sim card, enter the code and voila.
I have the unlock code, but i insert a sim card from other carrier and the phone dont ask the sim lock, says: "sim card not accepted.. lte services not working etc..."
How do i put the net lock?

You must be on stock rom to use a sim-unlock code. You can also sim-unlock using the sieempi method if you have s-off.
Hey guys,
I have an AT&T M7 that is off contract and obtained an unlock code directly from AT&T.
Now, how do I go and SIM unlock my device?
Any help/suggestion is much appreciated.
Thanks

If you already have your unlock code thats a good thing. Now to use it, you must shut your phone down, insert a foreign sim card (from a different carrier than AT&T, borrow a friend's sim card if necessary), boot it up and you should get prompted to enter the sim unlock code. Once done your phone is sim-unlocked and will accept any carrier sim card. Your phone must be running the stock rom btw (or a stock-ish rom, will not work on Cyanogenmod for example but should work on ARHD).
