After receiving many PM's I decided I should make a new thread to make the unlocking process clearer for noobs.
First:
Every Sprint HTC One can be unlocked, you just need a little patience and some basic knowledge. The unlock is PERMANENT, so you won't loose it if you flash another ROM, or even a ruu. The unlock works only on SENSE ROMs, so you can't unlock it on CM, AOSP or GPE ROMs. Even after you have unlocked you won't have network in non-sense ROMs.
Make sure your carrier frequencies are supported by the phone. Here you can find the HTC One's frequencies for Sprint.
Using US carriers will be a bit tricky, cause the frequencies the phone uses do not cover all the regions. You may loose network coverage often and may have problem with the roaming guards. Some users reported that the newest radios block domestic roaming, so you can try directly solution 3 which will downgrade your radio also, or downgrade it manually by flashing THIS radio in recovery. I also suggest you try BadBoyz ROM which has forced roaming.
The unlock works great outside the US though.
Background:
Before the release of 4.3 ROMs the process was very easy. If you still are on a SENSE 4.1.2 ROM with root access than all you have to do is follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 or use the "Sprint HTC One SIM Unlock Helper" from Play Store
Now with the release of 4.3 Sprint made it more difficult. (Note even on the 4.4.2 base nothing has changed, the process is the same) The unlock uses a file called HtcOMADM_SPCS which was modified in 4.3, so the unlock no longer works.
Solution:
There are 3 possible solutions to this problem.
1. Use the modified HtcOMADM_SPCS made by @chas123 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534208 You have to flash this in recovery and than the process is the same as with the 4.1.2 ROM
2. Use a file manager to replace the HtcOMADM_SPCS in /system/app with THIS.Than the process is the same as with the 4.1.2 ROM. After unlocking you'll get vDM client crashes. It's not a problem, cause afterwards you can flash any other ROM and you'll remain unlocked.
3. This is the longest way. Do this only if the previous methods fail.
a)If you are already S-OFF than:
-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader
-from pc, run setup.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock
Now you have to unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery and root. There are tons of guides for that. You can use THIS
b)If you are S-ON.
You can get S-OFF pretty easily on hboot 1.55 with rumrunner. Instructions HERE
The latest version of rumrunner HERE
If you are on hboot 1.56 or newer you can get s-off with Firewater http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
After gaining S-OFF the process is the same as explained in a)
After you have successfully downgraded your ROM and radio, gained root you can go ahead and use the unlock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703
How do you check if the unlock was successful?
Pretty simple just insert a SIM card and if you don't get the "SIMLock enabled" message than the unlock is complete.
You may still have no bars and be unable to make calls though. Make sure you change the settings in mobile data, network mode to GSM/UMTS. If still no luck than probably the phone doesn't cover your carrier's frequencies.
If you have signal, but can't use the internet make sure the APN settings match your carrier.

There is a simple fix for the sign. If you are on 4.3 and above use a file explorer and go to system/costumize/AAC/default.xml and change sku_id 10 to 42

I converted an HTC one from t-mobile to google edition through RUU. Phone is not rooted but it is bootloader unlocked. I requested an unlock code from T-mobile and was granted it. Now the code is not working, it's specific to the IMEI of the phone, which was never altered.
Is it failing because I converted to GPE RUU? Do I need to convert back to stock sense? The phone identifier should also still read T-mobile htc one, not Google Play Edition.
Thank you

If memory serves you have to be on a sense ROM in order for that to work.
Flash it back to stock tmobile, follow their instructions, then it will be sim unlocked. After that you can flash it back to GPe.

So this Summer I'm traveling to Europe for a month and would like to SIM unlock my phone so I can use a European SIM card to stay connected on the trip, I know I'll need to have it unlocked so it'll work, but Sprint only does a temp unlock for going out of the country and relocks it when you come back (I believe) and I figured, since I'd like to also switch to T-Mobile later, if there was a way to permanently SIM unlock? Also as a bonus, anyone know a good telecom company to use going through multiple EU countries? One where I don't have to get a new SIM everytime I go to a different country?

So when you mean that, just that I won't be able to use it with a US based GSM carrier? Any way to get around that?
there are no tested ways around that, In theory every htc one has the same hardware so theoretically speaking if you get S-off you could flash the factory unlocked's RUU and convert your phone to a complete factory unlocked model, that way you could use a gsm us carrier, you should note that before doing this you may wanna change the model id and cid as well, you could supercid or use any other unlocked variant's cid, but this is just in thery if you wanna go ahead and try it yourself it is not my responsability, once you're s-off you could hard brick your phone and end up with a paper weight
If I am soff, flash wrong ruu then in theory I should be able to flash back right ruu and recover, is that true?

HTC One M9
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

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.

For firmware you need to be S-OFF, too flash a Eu rom, download and flash in recovery.

Hello
I have S-OF,unlocked bootloader,root and latest software
I try to install RUU EU signed, but all the time an error occurred.
Perhaps because of the CID? Maybe we should change the CID?
I need help please

Change CID to 11111111, relock bootloader, and try again.

Relocking the bootloader shouldn't be necessary to run a RUU. I didn't need to.

Ok
The problem now solved
1. S-Off
2. Bootloader unlocked
3. Changed CID to one of CIDs of RUU
4. Flash RUU signed EU
Thanks for your help!
