It's probably common knowledge so no one thought to write it down, cause I can't seem to find the answer- the phone doesn't generate a new lock code or anything like that right?

I'm confused by what you're asking... Are you trying to relock the bootloader? or something else...? Because to my knowledge, once you relock it, you can use the same .bin file to unlock it later.
I think I need to relock it and RUU back to stock, I think I basically flashed part of a gsm ROM. A couple organs Asia's I have a new SIM card but obviously I don't, I have data, but no signal, Network info in settings shows signal strength, in service and not roaming, phone I Dee identity info shows stuff normal until you get to the phone number and IMSI. Unknown for the number, and IMSI is listed as 111111111110111.
Basically I'm hoping for an RUU miracle save, so I don't have to test the geek squad's root policy.
1.55 hboot, 0913 or 1108 baseband.

I've kept my One with a S-OFF policy just in case I mess anything up and need to flash RUU's. But I updated to the latest Firmware and Radio, without the updates to the firmware and radio, it is possible that your phone is reaching the required satellites but is having a problem showing it on the phone and making it usable with the hardware/software versions you are running. Everytime I flash a new ROM, I always Update Profile and Update PRL just ensure a working network connection.
Currently I'm on the 1108 baseband with the 1.55 hboot as well.
Ran into the problem I was worried about...
I relocked my One, flashed the firmware update from the bad boyz thread, and every thing looked fine.
Next step, unlock the boot loader, FAILED.
S-off, 1.55 hboot, used the same token that originally unlocked my device. looks like I still have my custom recovery active, but I'm afraid to flash anything or rest k or recover. As nice as the One looks, I prefer it as a phone rather than a paper weight
You didnt need to lock your bootloader already having soff

hmmm
did you ever solve the way to get the number to come back and the imsi to stop being 111111111110111 ? My htc one max is doing the same thing now and I cannot get it to come back. I have reset the programming with ##786# and ##72786#, nothing. Tried with a different sim card, nothing. Added it to a different account and tried profile update, nothing. I have also RUU'd my device, it completed and still no change.
Looking to unlock an AT&T version of the HTC One to T-Mobile. I do have an unlock code but it's not working. The phone is rooted and running ARHD 51. I just flashed a different stock rom, tried the code once again but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

I heard you need to be stock to use a sim-unlock code so you might want to try back to 100% stock then use the code. If it still don't work then maybe you could purchase a new code.

Check your IMEI number and cross reference it with your original to make sure they match. My phone is doing the same thing and it came back from mobile tech videos jtag repair and my numbers are all wrong. Looking for a solution now but my serial number and IMEI numbers are different.
Just a thought, Shot in the dark

Do some searching here (in the Q&A) section, there were quite a few SIM Unlock threads solved (quite a while ago), I can't exactly remember, but it used to be a combo of
1- stock rom (or very close) but matching to firmware version
2- possibly stock recovery
3- possibly locked/relocked bootloader
4- s-off / s-on doesn't matter
I believe number 1 was the most important, can't say/remember about 2 and 3, and quite sure S-Off won't matter.

you don't need s-off, you just need to relock the bootloader
Hmmm still no luck. Been working at this for a while now, not sure what the problem is. Selling it is the only solution I can think of right now, but there must be a way to unlock this for my carrier.
Hello. I have a similar issue, so I don't think I should create another topic.
I just purchased a 64gb HTC One and purchased the unlock code from the same vendor as always. I was always able to unlock other devices (One XL, One X+, Windows phone 8X) easily, and even other Ones, since this is my fouth (first one I gave to my brother, second slipped off my pocket while in a tunnel riding my motorcycle and the third is 32gb, so I decided to sell it and buy a 64gb).
This one is used like new, everything stock, s-on, nothing unusual. Well, except the led seems to be smaller (very hard to see the red dot while charging) and the system may be newer, since it doens't find any update available.
But the code doesn't work. I tried twice thinking I could be misspelling the numbers, but returned wrong anyway.
So...
1-What happens if I try again and it returns wrong, since it's showing it's my last try?
2-Any clue?
Thanks in advance.
Does your phone work on any network? What carrier is it branded?
Best thing is to email (carrier) support and get a code from them.
This thread is for devices that have a security cross reference back end problems.
Does your phone say it accepts the code then restarts then asks for the code again?

In my experience, I'm not getting anything showing my number of attempts or last attempt. I've tried the unlock code about 8-10 times on different roms stock and non stock and stock recovery. I really have no idea.

Thanks for your answer.
All my HTCs always shown a counter.
Today, after restoring the phone to stock ruu, it wasn't showing any counter anymore, so I decided to try again the code I purchased (and other code sellers confirmed) and it worked.
Very strange... but now it's unlocked.

After a lot of painstaking effort, I managed to flash a stock RUU, got back to a stock recovery, and locked the bootloader. Got the same unlock code from two separate vendors. No dice. Incredibly frustrating, don't know what's wrong with my phone but now I have to sell it.

well you can sim-unlock using the sieempi method instead of the unlock code, like many others successfully did

Hi all,
I've been attempting to and failing for the last few days to get a custom ROM installed on My HTC one from Sprint. About an hour ago, I realized what the problem was but unfortunately have found no way of fixing this.
So far, I have unlocked the phone using the instructions from the HTCDev site as well as installed CWM/ TWRP Bootloaders and rooted with SU installed. I wiped all of the information off of the phone and as far as I know, the original OS is no longer available. I am able to access recovery and bootloader mode no problem and can install ROM's but they do not work fully as prior to rooting, I did not turn S-Off. It is currently on and I am stuck on how exactly to proceed.
Ideally, I would like for some way to be able to turn S-off, however, because I cannot access the operating system, I have no way of running rumrunner to get it done. At best, I can turn the phone on for about 2.5 minutes before it reboots and repeats the process. Added to that, whenever I unlock the screen, only the HTC logo shows up, there's no way to access anything else. I am able to copy files to storage during that time though.
Alternatively, I would like to return it to it's original state, but trying that has failed on multiple occasions. All of the guides that I have seen to return to stock require that you either have access to the operating system (without the reboot) or have S-Off, none of which I have.
Also, during the time that the OS loads, adb does not recognize the device. Its recognized in bootloader mode and Hboot, just not during 'regular' operation.
I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided as I really need to get this phone working.
Thanks! :good:

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Don't know why it never showed up in my search results though. Just gotta get this phone unlocked for GSM now.
Another problem
So I finally got my HTC one from sprint unlocked but I ran into another problem. Whenever I insert a GSM sim into the phone, I cannot get any signal. An 'x' is shown over my signal bar. Have already flashed the old version of the radio but I still get the same result. Currently running viper rom 5.7. Bootloader is unlocked, S-off and rooted.
Any idea what else I can do? Got the PN 072 version if that helps
BTW, I am using a Domestic GSM sim

I REALLY don't get why people buy a CDMA phone to use on GSM networks.... That said this is a known issue if you're running KitKat. No solution last I checked.

Main reason I got it was cause it seemed like there was a GSM radio in the CDMA version and I travel quite often out of state. Being able to use it locally would simply be a huge bonus. Will try downgrading to 4.3 or 4.1 to see if there's any change.
I have the SIM card for tmobile, I executed the wire trick but it didnt work, it said drinking beer and then testing alcohol level then s-off failed. Im not on stock, and Im confused as to if the bootloader should be locked or not.
I could just pay for the SIM Unlock Code, or just forward that payment to an aspiring dev that may want to help. I bricked my prism trying to flash a rom yet i deleted needed partitions in the custom recovery. Dumbass<
So im just looking for some help, i cant seem to get the RUU on it even though I am ICS in Hboot. The process gives me a error 155 which tells me Im not doing something right beforehand. Any help would be mucho appreciated.
Sketch
I believe that RUU's will refuse to flash if the bootloader is in an unlocked state. Is your bootloader unlocked? (This is separate from having S-OFF).
I hope that this post (below) will help you with the S-OFF. Once you have achieved S-OFF, I believe you can SIM-Unlock your Vivid yourself (the method is in this forum somewhere).

I'm lost. I was trying to update my bootloader, and I saw a guide somewhere but lost it. I looked for it again, and I didn't find the same, but I saw different instructions. It said to update via RUU. I was using an older CM build with hboot 3.18, and I used the RUU after relocking my bootloader. It erased all the data on the phone, and then gave me error 158, which I could only find cited on a HTC One X thread. I used the RUU given in the forums here. It was non-HK. I didn't have a backup (because my stupid ass decided to not backup my phone .-.) and I am now bricked essentially. I cannot install anything. I tried to unlock, but I can't. It gives me no response other than that it fails. I have the original key too, I just don't know what to do. So, tell me if this sounds reasonable.
1. Make a new HTCdev account since I'm missing my old one.
2. Unlock via the same process.
3. Reinstall TWRP.
4. Find the old CM build I had.
5. Live with my old bootloader.
Because I have nothing I can do. If that RUU didn't work, I don't know what will. Sunshine is retarded and I'm not spending $25 for it to update the bootloader with S-OFF.
TL;DR: S-ON relocked bootloader on a phone that's wiped. Stuck with no recovery/data/anything after a failed RUU install since it decided to wipe my data instead of making sure it could even install first.
