Sim unlock prompts only show up when another carriers simcard is inserted, is there another way or terminal command?
I have the unlock code, but only have my AT&T sim. I was wondering if there was another way to simunlock the phone besides the tradtional method.
What is exactly your problem? What did you try to solve this problem? What changed since the problem arised and before that? If you provided any of this information that is neccesary, I could try to help out
Not a problem, just mostly a question.
Is the only way to SIM unlock a phone the traditional way of "I must insert another carriers SIM"?
Is there a particular app that I can manually run or a terminal command I can enter that would ask for the code?
I don't have another simcard so that's why I'm curious

If your phone is AT&T and so is your sim card. You are not going to get the unlock prompt. Buy yourself a PAYG sim card,( not ATT&T ).. they are cheap and might even come free.. Insert it into your phone and enter the unlock code.

Sorry I don't have an answer to that. But I figured I'd mention that after I bought the unlock code on ebay and put in a foreign sim card, there never was a popup window asking for a code. It just was unlocked and I never even entered the code.
From my understanding there is a way for sprint Ones. The method is difficult and was abandoned. Unfortunately we don't know what exactly is need to be done because each carrier model will probably need a different method.

Is there any software available to sim unlock the HTC One to any network?
There was an app on the play store that unlocked my old s3 in one click and I'm wondering is there anything similar for this?
If not, can anyone recommend somewhere cheap and reliable?
Thanks
1. Buy an unlock code online.
2. Contact your carrier and ask for a code.

hi just got a htc one locked to o2 uk is there any program or app will unlock it as i paid for an unlock code and they couldnt unlock it
Well first get a refund for that unlock code.
Since the HTC has been out for a year now if you have been an o2 customer for longer than 6 months if you ring o2 or go to there stores they may unlock it for free.
That's what I did with three and I know Vodafone does that too. Might be worth a try with o2
To my knowledge there is no software or programme on xda that can SIM unlock the htc one

rooting the phone will not sim-unlock it. You must be 100% stock to use the sim unlock code (or as far as possible to stock, i.e stock rom)
Try another sim unlock code or ask you carrier like suggested above.
If i buy a note 4 that has a sim card lock on it will i be able to remove it by flashing stock with Odin? If not can it be removed? Or I shouldn't buy it?

if you buy from Tmobile they will provide unlock code upon request. if you buy from private seller you can use unlocking services which provide codes for fee. when buying from private seller make sure that imei is not blacklisted.

I see, it's someone from eBay, I'm assuming they found the phone since it has a sim lock when it's turned on. So putting a different sim in it wouldn't remove the lock?

if you are buying locked phone from eBay you are running into risk that phone is reported lost/stolen and imei is blacklisted. once blacklisted that phone won't work on major gsm networks no matter if you have it Sim unlocked and new Sim installed. Request from seller picture of imei number and check if it is not blacklisted. Still, even if check shows ok, phone can be reported as lost when you it.

I converted my phone to a developer edition. ITs S-Off and the bootloader is unlocked. How do I know if I can use this phone with other carriers?
Just switch the SIM card from another carrier and try...
Put in a different sim card lol
