I honestly tried to find the answer to this everywhere before posting. I already have the unlock code from HTC and Tmobile. I simply need to figure out how to unlock the phone.
The instructions I received with the unlock code said that the phone would notify me that the SIM is unregistered and I would put in my unlock code at that point. I assume this is only the case on a vanilla version of Android or whatever the current official release is.
As you may have guessed, I have my phone rooted and have been running CM for a while. When the prepaid SIM is in the phone CM does seem to realize that its there and there is a SIM tool app but it does nothing. I have flashed to a couple different customer ROMS including dwang and a couple older version of CM.
Is there any way that I can actually unlock my phone without having to unroot and go back to the official android release from tmobile?
Thank you to anybody that can help me.

Is it The AT&T Prepaid sim card. If it is then i don't think it would work. i have an unlocked g1 with an AT&T sim card and i unlocked it before rooting. So guess u have to do the same. hope i helped
Right now I am trying with a TracFone SIM card but I could try with an AT&T card from a friend in a couple of days. I don't even really need to get the service to work at this point.
The two things I really want are just to be able to unlock my phone and backup my contacts onto a secondary SIM card and I am having no luck doing either.

This is how i did it. i put my sim card in the phone and turned it on until it got to the screen when it said ( enter network key) i put the code in and it worked. i wounder if your able to put the contacts on the sd card?
I am trying to unlock the Sprint HTC one's sim card so it can be used with a international sim card. Sprint has sent me numerous emails detailing my phone has been unlocked on their end, and i do know for a fact that the config was pushed to the phone (had a friend at sprint check this for me) but the phone remains SIMLock Enabled.
My theory is, if i flash a GSM rom, and insert my international sim card, hopefully it would prompt me for the Sim Unlock code. Right now in a sprint rom, it simply states SIMLock enabled and does not give us any optino to enter an unlock code. I would assume that the unlock is stored in NV memory and would survive a reflash of a different rom.
So my question are:
1. can I even flash a GSM based rom from the HTC One Section?
2. Will I be able to get back to a sprint based rom afterwards?
3. Can I harm anything by attempting this?
Thanks in advance.
Sprint One is CDMA, you can't flash GSM rom.
You will brick your one...

Sorry, but what do you mean for Sim Unlock Box?
Are you talking about the pin or you have a SimLock branded phone?
If you have a simlock branded phone, i'm not sure that you can unlock this with an interntional rom.
However, i think no.
Kernel are different...
The Sprint One is a CDMA phone with LTE bands (this is what requires the sim card). The phone does NOT have the hardware to connect to a gsm/wcdma network. So, even if you could sim-unlock the phone, an international (or any other carrier's) sim will not allow the phone to connect to any other network/carrier.
The Sprint One will ONLY connect to the Sprint network.

Hi guys,
I'm from indonesia, I bought HTC 802d in china last week. Before buying, i asked the sales person specifically if both the CDMA and GSM are unlocked. They said yes they are unlocked. I only brought my roaming GSM card and it worked just fine. Didnt bring my CDMA sim.
Came back to jakarta, put in CDMA sim and it said no service. FYI, i checked the cdma freq between indonesia and china, and they share the same frequency. So, i guess that the Sim 1 CDMA slot is being carrier locked by China Telecom.
I had followed all the intructions thats available in XDA, from unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery found on chinese web, installing ROM from chinese web, got my blinkfeed working in english, facebook & twitter also worked. Even perform S-Off using moonshine.
However, the sim1 slot is still showing "No Service".
Please help me with your expert advice. I need to get the CDMA working as soon as possible as the GSM part is only running on 2G and its internet is sooooooooo slowwwwwww....:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thank your for your time and attention
No body have any idea?

I doubt I can help, here in the USA the CDMA is never locked and doesn't use a SIM card. On this side of the pond, only GSM uses a sim card. The CDMA phones that have a sim card here, is because the 4G LTE technology is a GSM, so their sim card is for LTE only.

Actually the above worked for me. After rooting and editing the build.prop the phone can connect to a CDMA network in Indonesia just fine. The only eyesore is that the carrier name doesn't show, it only shows its carrier code.

I'm in China at the moment and ended up picking up one of these today (HTC DESIRE 609d) which i was told was unlocked. 1 Sim card however seems to be locked to china telecom.
You managed to remove the lock? So I need to find a special DEV rom? if so could you please send me a link or point me in the right direction? Im a bit of a noob...
Cheers, Phil.
Hi guys! I also unlocked 1-st slot but it works only GSM card. my cdma R-UIM not work for this slot. Befor unlocking first slot I edited device nam settiongs with DFS. When I put GSM card to slot one and select cdma mode, phone use setting from device and pick up signal. but not incoming and outgoing calls (because there is no registered number to carrier). But in the DFS I choose "Only R-UIM" but phone not read the R-uim card. How can I unlock first slot to use my carrier R-uim card. (my carrier PerfectumMobile-Uzbekistan)
Hi All -
I've searched everywhere for the answer to this and haven't been able to find it, so I figured I'd post here. This is the scenario:
1) I have a Moto X that is locked to AT&T
2) I wanted to give the phone to a friend who is on Sprint, so I paid for an unlock code
3) Even after unlocking and inserting the Sprint SIM, I still received the "SIM Network Unlock PIN" message
4) I now want to basically restore the phone completely back to the way it was (locked to AT&T), so it can be used with an AT&T SIM
5) I flashed the phone using RSDLite and the correct ATT ROM, but after the flash finished successfully and I insert a valid AT&T SIM, I still receive the same unlock message.
So my question is basically, can I get the phone completely back to being locked to AT&T, essentially the way it was out of the box? I'm also willing to flash it with Cyanogen or another ROM if that would help.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.
I have same issue, I had my Sim working for a couple of days but I wanted to return to stock to receive further updates and I flashed it with correct at&t firmware package but now there is a popup every time when I insert Sim about unlock code and I am stuck ... I think that's because of erasing modem st1 and modem st2 during flashing with RSDlite ... Is there anybody to suggest something helpful
Hi XDAs, am quite new to this forum but i need your help.
I bought my HTC M7 as used phone in Nigeria, everything seem perfect but I cant connect to any local radio. So I did a manual update to Lollipop 6.0 and HTC sense 6.0. After the update the phone
boots to Sprint and says "INVALID CARD". We don't have Sprint in Nigeria so am kind of stucked. I tried a few people i know that do unlock phone but they couldn't help.
My phone dont prompt for the unlock code, and *#60# don't display my IMEI, bbut in the setting the IMEI number starts with 99000. Please help!

The sprint HTC One is a CDMA phone, not GSM. Thats why its easy to buy one for really cheap, no one wants them These phones can still work on GSM network for roaming purpose. It can be unlocked so you can use it on your local gsm provider but don't expect to get LTE, you'll probably get gsm/3g only.
