okay you need to understand the core difference here:
rom flashing DOES NOT sim unlock your phone.
To sim unlock it use pof/olipro's sim unlocker or yes simply call att and tell them you are going overseas and you need your sim unlock so you can use it over there. They are legally bound to give it to you if you have had the phone over six months (i got mine after having the phone for 2 days without a problem).

Follow the guide posted above. After unlocking it you might have issue when connecting to other carrier s network so be sure they are using compatible frequencies. I'm almost sure you will not be able to connect it to any other CDMA carrier. Normally CDMA carriers will not accept a phone on their network if not sold by them.
Next time if you are planning to switch carriers, buy a gsm phone, much easier! even with a locked gsm phone, you'll only need to sim-unlock the phone with a purchased code then put in any gsm sim card.
Sorry I can't help you more, I'm not familiar with the WLS variant.

Root Desire 510
I was using the WinDroid method of rooting my phone and I got the bootloader unlocked no problem but it get stuck when I try flashing TWRP to it. I live in the US and it appears that I have the 32bit version so I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if I was doing something wrong.
For the toolkit
toolkit 2.1 won't boot up for me to do the root and recovery part i used 2.0 and unlocked my bootloader but other than that im stuck help out?
I have a custom recovery but I want to go back to my original recovery. How can I do that?

RUU is probably the quickest. I'm not aware of anyone that's uploaded the stock recovery.

Hi, i'm having some trouble I think. I'm trying to unlock my HTC Desire 510 (Eu version) and Software Status is still "locked". I did got the token and the file from HTC Dev website.
LE: It doesn't prompt me to confirm the unlock, it just enters in bootloader.

Make sure you have adb installed and then place the unlock_code.bin from HTC in the same folder as your adb and then boot the phone Into fastboot and make sure your device is listed by typing fastboot devices if it's listed then type fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin and then the phone will ask if you want to unlock it select yes and you'll be done.
I've successfuly unlock bootloader and got root with the method in this thread, but I have a problem. A new system update was released (1.51.401.4 - Android Security Patches - libStageFright). Obviously I can't install it because of the custom recovery. What can I do in this situation?

you'll have to go all the way back to stock and it's not worth it because no matter what you do all the roms here are on 1.46... and besides, there has not been 1 libstage attack ever that anyone knows of and it's unlikely that anyone's going to just pick you out of everyone in the entire world to just use that against so don't worry about it!
I don't need other roms. I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted just to remove the bloatware. I still need the latest updates.

Then you'll need to relock the bootloader and run the RUU from the HTC website and start all over again... Make sure you download the correct RUU too!
I've managed to unlock the bootloader using the HTC dev website but phone is still network locked, thought it would fix that... what now? is there a network unlock for the 510?

Nope there's no way to unlock that to use different carriers. Usually if a carrier is going to unlock the phone it has to have been used on their network for at least 1 year and even if you pay money to those websites claiming to be able to unlock it you're going to waste your money. The phone has to be unlocked on the carriers side which is why there's nothing you can do.

Hey there @MrMike2182 and thanks for replying
Is this specific to HTC devices as I don't have much experience with them? And from what you're saying, the only option I have, besides having a door stopper, is to get the unlock code from Cricket? It seems kind of bizarre that sim unlocking is "impossible", I understand the unlocking of CDMA versions is/was done provider side (used to work for a CDMA provider, no naming ) but for GSM versions it is/was handset side... please correct me if my information is erroneous.
Thanks

It doesn't have anything to do with HTC. Most people don't understand that the micro SIM card only gives you the ability to use LTE and if you remove the SIM card the phone will still work... It has to be carrier unlocked whether gsm or cdma doesn't matter. Now considering you're not in the USA Cricket may agree to unlock them but then complain that the computer won't allow them to do that because the phones haven't been activated on their network for at least a year and you're basically screwed there. The last thing you may be able to do is take the phone to whatever carrier you plan on using and see If they can re-provision the phone to work with their network. It's not likely to work though.

this phone will work without the microsim? that's not my understanding of how GSM networks work but ok, you seem to have a solid understanding of that...
Anyways, i'll try to get a hold of Cricket, another family member got me the handsets and he's an active client of Cricket's as well as an employee... since this seems to be the only course of action I have (which I didn't really want to take but oh well!)
thanks anyways, i'll update on how this goes.
cheers!

Yes the phone will work without the SIM card but you'll only get 3G speeds that's it but when you put the micro SIM card in you get the high speed LTE. That's how these pay as you go phones work! Cellphones that are not the pay as you go with like cricket, virgin mobile or T-Mobile don't have this type of setting and the SIM card on those ones controls it all. If you have a family member that works for cricket like you said then they could be able to pull some strings to help you out.
So,I bought a Htc M8 from craigs and it came with sprint rom.I thought it was a sprint phone and used it for a month.Now i was just looking at the phone and i found out "model : 0P6B100" wriiten on the back bottom side of my HTC M8 .I searched and found out that it is a Europe unlocked version, which is pretty great but in my bootloader it shows "m8_Mhl "
Can bootloader be changed from "m8_u" to "m8_whl" ??
Can gsm phones run sprint rom ?
I am so confused seriously! Can someone sort it out please??

If it is s-off it can be changed to pretty much anything. Did you put a Sprint sim card in it? If it runs and gets signal, then yes it works.
Also, if it is s-off it can also run any rom, whether or not it works on Sprint is up to you to find out and report back. It looks like someone thought it would run, maybe it won't and that's why they sold it. Check out the regular M8 thread, there may be someone reporting something there, also that would be a good place to ask this question since it is the WW device.

It runs sprint rom perfectly.Should i flash RUU of "0P6B1000" on it ? It shouldn't be a problem because the model number is written on the phone itself ( One can't change that !) .Idon't have a sprint sim card.Is there any way to check if it is a cdma or gsm ? coz pretty much everythin in "getvar all" is changed
Is it possible to flash a different version of the software on the T-Mobile M9. I unknowingly bought the Tmobile M9 and would like to install the unlocked / developer M9 software over it. I hate the Tmobile logo and noise at bootup.
Yeah, download any m9 gsm ROM and flash via twrp

Are there any that have it working? I've tried viper and insert coin and both have it in settings, but the feature itself seems to not work at all, as it never activates.

I don't know of any, but at one time @LeeDroid was going to try to get it working. However, he had a setback with carrier support, and he has had to put it on the back burner for now.

Hi, I am trying to convert to Tmobile. I bought Verizon M9 because I got a good deal on it and thought since they are unlocked I could just put my SIM in and be working right away. I can make calls and text message and use internet after adding the APN. But I can't get the hotspot to work, hate the Unknown SIM notification and all the VZN apps. To get my phone as close to Tmo as possible would I just have to follow Captain_Throwback's guide and then flash a Tmo rom, or restore a backup, or RUU? Sorry for the noob question

I didn't think you could use a Verizon phone on a GSM carrier network, but if you can that's cool. If your phone is working on the T-Mobile network you can unlock the bootloader and root to install a T-Mobile rom, but you will have to check with the Sunshine thread to see if they have it working on Verizon M9's yet. If they do you can S-OFF, and install T-Mobile firmware and rom. Keep me posted on how you do.
