Good day.
One of the most important parts of XDA, is for users to learn how to search:good:
For Root:
This article (Root Directory) is amazing. Please read through and as you do, you will be able to narrow down your search parameters, directly to your HTC One (Sprit):good:
For SIM unlock:
This thread ([Complete guide] to SIM unlock your HTC One Sprint) is very well written, there should be little to no confusion here.
If these do not help, XDA offers help through XDA Assist, click here and ask your question.
Good luck

You should contact Verizon for an unlock code. If they won't provide you with one then you need to contact one of the sites on the Internet and purchase an unlock code for your phone.
Unlike a lot of previous HTC devices, a software solution to SIM unlock your phone no longer works on the IncS.
Thanks for the info...
I don't know how it is in the States but here in Gemany I usually got such a code with every SIM-card I bought... Maybe search dow your papers?
EDIT: OH sorry, got that wrong... Thought your SIM is locked not your phone SIM-locked Confuusing
Hi there,
So I have this HTC Vivid from AT&T and I am planning on unlocking it for a friend but I don't have her SIM card (she's under T-Mobile). Is there any way how I can get a deactivated SIM from T-Mobile, pop it into the phone, purchase an unlock code and do a factory unlock from there? The phone was manufactured before that specific 'illegal phone unlock' date so I was planning on doing it so she doesn't have to go through the trouble of paying a company $55 to unlock it for her. This is urgent so if anyone can help out, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean. The easiest way is to s-off and then sim unlock it look in the development forum

I was planning on getting a SIM card that had no number on it from T mobile and then purchasing an online code from a website and unlocking the phone from there. Is it possible to get a SIM card with no contract on it?
Not sure never heard of anyone doing that. I think a prepaid SIM might work

How much is a prepaid card usually? And I don't know if I should go with the S-off method because I don't know how much of a skill level is required. I've jailbroken many iPhones, one iTouch, and one iPad 2 but I've never messed with Androids before.

It's very easy getting s-off. I recommend this method. If you can follow instructions and one hour of your time you can do this.
if your vivid is not under contract, this is your best option
Just soff and unlock. Much easier.

Purchased a HTC One that appears locked to O2 carrier (unbeknownst to me when I purchased on Ebay). When I inserted my AT&T sim card, I got a message asking me for the SIM unlock code. (not AT&T PUK code). Anyone have any idea how to remedy this situation. Any advice appreciated.

Is it locked to English O2? You can buy these unlock codes online, or wait 3 months and then get the carrier to unlock.
If I were you I would contact ebay and return it and wait for the AT&T model to be released. Someone here may know how to unlock it though, I have no clue.

Are you in the UK? If so buy a Pay as you Go O2 sim card, load it with £15, then fill in the unlock form on the O2 site and it will be unlocked within 3 days.
If you are in the US, then there is nothing much you could do, there might be unofficial ways to unlock the phone but I am not aware of them. Since you purchased from eBay, your best bet would be to return it as wrongly described.
Try one of these solutions:
1) If you have a look at this forum thread, it may help you with your problem
2) Also try this company mobileunlocks if they cannot supply the unlock code they will refund you.
3) Search ebay you will find sellers selling unlock codes on there too
Hi, I am new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have found this thread by @samwathegreat that will allow us to sim crack the Sprint phones. Thanks to him!
I want to buy this phone and you might have noticed that it is locked to Sprint.
I want to use it in India and my question is, since the phone doesn't come with a sim or a subscription, will I able to crack it using @samwathegreat method and insert an Indian sim and use it on Indian networks?
ie,
1. Does the phone need to be activated with a Sprint sim initiitally and then use the crack to unlock it?
or
2. I simply buy it and crack it using the sim crack method? (ie, no sprint sim; no activation on Sprint network)
Since I am not a US resident I am confused in this regard please guide me.
Hi all,
Recently I bought a NOTE 9 SM-N960F/DS 128GB (FACTORY UNLOCKED) 6.4" Exynos. over ebay during Thanksgiving.
I never activated and I thought it is network unlocked as well but when I came to a different country and inserted a new sim it saying "Invalid sim car" and asking to enter a unlock code??
My seller not responding and also it crossed grace period to return.
Samsung support says I have to call Malaysia at least 10 minutes to unlock it which is not possible to for me to travel there.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
File a claim through PayPal and get your money back.
I got my Note 9 direct from Samsung, there was a warning on the box (the actual seal) it states it was made for the European market and to use it internationally first a European operator SIM needs to be inserted and make a total of 5 minutes of calls before it will unlock for international service providers.
So it's not that they are region locked it, they are just trying to make them stay in the market they are intended or sold as second hand.

Network Unlocked but gives Invalid SIM outside USA
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Sprint Note 9 SM-N960U which was advertised as Network unlocked, but when I received the phone in Qatar and inserted my SIM it gave me "Invalid SIM". It often gives me " Insert UICC that came with the device". Can someone guide me to how can I unlock this phone? Also I need to know do I have to root the phone to Unlock it?
Thanks and regards,

It's not possible to root the N960U
Your best bet is to call Sprint and pray the phone is paid off and they will unlock it for you.
Looks like is sim lock and you need to unlock it. Try on Google note 9 unlock and use a reputable site see if it helps.
