[Q] SIM unlock not working for HTC One M7 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a GPE converted, S-OFF M7, which I tried to sim unlock after getting the official unlock code from AT&T. The code didn't work, so I then:
changed the CID back to CWS__001
flashed a stock AT&T RUU
I still get an "Incorrect password" message when putting in the PIN after putting in a T-Mobile SIM card.
I just made my device S-ON again, but it still doesn't work. AT&T tech support is stumped and doesn't know what else they can do.
Next steps I'm going to try is locking the bootloader, but I don't know how helpful that will be.
I've also tried a method to SIM unlock using a Config.dat file and loaded through a USB OTG cable and flash drive in the bootloader. However, I get an "SD card init fail" message.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.

Do not relock your bootloader whatever you do. Go back to s-off then look here https://www.sieempi.ro/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536

I tried this, and I get an "sd init fail" message when trying to do that. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot that? I'm using a powered USB OTG cable with a flash drive in FAT format.

[Q] I think I screwed my HTC One.

So, I bought a second hand Sprint HTC One from Craigslist about a week ago.. First think I did was followed QBKing77's guide on how to unlock bootloader and root. Did that fairly easily, then went through this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 ) to unlock it, had to do the steps in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491840 ) to get it to work since I had Android 4.3 and was unsure on how to go backwards to Android 4.2.2. After I got my phone unlocked, I went and got a Net10 SIM card and a month card, activated it, threw it in my One, and.. Nothing. No signal what so ever on GSM. It does recognize my SIM, though. So, I flashed to the original Radio from Sprint ( 1.00.20.0315 ), but still couldn't connect to GSM networks. I called Sprint, and they said my phone was still active on a plan, so I went hunting for a way around that.. I saw some things about flashing to Cricket, but I didn't want that. After relocking my bootloader and trying to RUU a few times, and none of them working, I thought I should update the Firmware. So, I downloaded some UL update for 3.62.401.1 without thinking, flashed it onto my device, and when I booted it up, it started a boot loop. I could navigate the phone for a while, but after about 5 minutes of it being turned on, it would reboot. So, I went into TWRP>wipe>advanced wipe> selected Dalvik Cache, Cache, and System. After that, my system now hangs on the HTC boot screen. I can still get into Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried flashing to TWRP 2.5.0.0, but my touch screen stopped working in TWRP when I did that. I just flashed back to 2.6.3.0, and my touch works again in TWRP. I can't get ADB Sideloader to work.. Currently, my Bootloader is Unlocked, S-Off, superCID, HBoot 1.55.0000, Radio 4A.21.3262.04, OpenDSP v32.120.274.0909, OS 1.29.651.10. That's about all the info I can get from Bootloader. It still says Tampered as well.
What should I do? My first step is to hopefully get back to where I can actually see the homescreen.. After that, I'd like to be able to get my phone to work on GSM.. I don't know if that is possible, though. I haven't found anything about someone having a phone that is still on a Sprint plan and being able to use GSM in the US.

I already have my phone unlocked. I have the same RUU downloaded from that thread as well, and tried it one more time, and I got Error 155, basically telling me I have the wrong RUU for my device..

Are you 100% sure you are s-off?
Try a different USB Port
USB 2 if possible.

I only have two ports on my laptop, and I've tried both. I even tried a usb hub, but that gave me the same error. In my bootloader, it says I'm s-off, I used rumrunner to do it a couple days ago.

kitkat bricked internal storage (0 mb)

i need your help, just got an htc one sprint for 90 bucks, i live abroad the US so i was thinking that i can use this phone without any problems as i have been doing with the verizon's phones with the global roaming. But with this when i put the sim card i got the invalid sim card etc, and i was looking the way to unlock it but spent almost all day and it seems that the version running kitkat and with hboot 1.57 can't get downgraded in order tu unlock the sim for use in my country, tired i can't remember what i did wrong that i just have now a bricked phone that can't get the internal storage, can't flash a zip even on sideload cuz i got errors, couldn't get the s off even using the firewater method with a custom rum.
I remember that i used an CM11 Nightless if i am not wrong but when i tried to restore it i got the 0 storage storage. Reading on different pages i just see the restore to the jelly bean version but kitkat i coulnd't get nothing. I am not so noob i had rooted even a Pantech Burst but this is a pain in the ass for me.
So i want to know if i have a brick or if this phone can be saved.
At least i can get to recovery when i unlock the bootloader but of course i can't get storage, tried with cwm and the other one
What i am worried about is that thing of security warning when i relocked the bootloader
Please help :crying:

You probably need to run a RUU to reset your phone. Here is 5.03.651.3 you can use this if your OS is the same or lower since you are still S-ON. On your sim unlock issue, depending if the imei is clear you can contact Sprint for the unlock code via their support site.

I have already tried that but i had the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect, i downloaded the first one not the decrypted. Using both versions of windows 7 and 8 32-64 bits, happens the same problem
and for call Sprint i am in Panama, central america and i don't think that they will provide me the unlock code if the phone even is not mine at all it still with the name of the girl who sold me the one

Try to run the firmware 5.03.651.3 just download it, rename to firmware.zip and place in your adb/fastboot folder. Here are the steps for flashing firmware. Since you are S-ON make sure your bootloader is locked/relocked.
In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB type in the command window:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot oem rebootRUU [/I][/B]
NOTE: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
NOTE: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.
Then:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
Repeat the same command: IMPORTANT
Code:
[B][I]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/I][/B]
NOTE: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.
Last Step:
Code:
[B][I]fastboot reboot[/I][/B]

If the firmware flashes successfully, then I would try the RUU again.
Finally i made it came back but i still with the problem of the sim card, reading around the web it seems that with the hboot 1.57 is not yet possible the roaming as was possible with others like 1.56 or less, and i don't wanna have that pain again of what happens this weekend

[Q] S-Off, Relocked Bootloader. But it was all a waste?

I paid for the S-Off with Sunshine which was by far the easiest route I've had. But now he is were it gets difficult. I contacted straight talk to use my phone and they said it was possible and is currently active. The only thing is...I cannot use it as a phone. They said "sprint has it locked" so I searched and got S-Off, the CID is 11111111, from what I read that should make it possible to work. It still doesn't, and I know it has CDMA but also a SIM card slot which I thought was odd but I still cannot use a different SIM. I looked into a SIM unlock and found something about "am start com.redbend" command and it says it doesn't exist. I don't really understand all this but I read every instruction before I perform it. Now is my phone still just a mini-tablet? Or is there a way to actually use a straght talk SIM card since the phone has the option to use one, or did I just waste 85$ for the whole process of getting nothing done?
i have the same problem i bought a HTC M7 sprint unlocked everything was fine i can use other sim from my country but then
i bricked it trying to RUU diferents roms and S-ON by mistake ( playing wit the toolkit)
now i pay and i have s-off again but i have problem with the SIM when i briked i the bootloader options there is a locksim option i think that i I gave that option
then i have the last RUU i think that would fix everything but i didnt i can not use my sim again another problem is that i notice that i can use wifi
bt nfc but in opction it show the airplane optcion in gray saying turning of is stucked i can turn it on but when i turn it off again it stuck in turning off
i can not use the phone option
i saw a topic that says that i could flash a rom for GSM when i am CDMA but i try to flash 5.0.2 firmware but it didnt work too i still have the same problem and also flash my actual radio too but the same
ps: sorry for my english i am not a native speaker
after you s-off your phone, flash hboot_hexed and downgrade your m7 to 4.1.2 so you can do the "am start com.redbend" command.
Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip is the 4.1.2 rom. after you flash hboot_hexed for sprint m7, you can proceed in downgrading your phone.

[Q]Sprint M7 sim unlock with DSU S-ON

Let me start by saying I cannot get S-off without Sunshine because I am on hboot 1.61. I don't really need S-off just yet.
I do wish to unlock my sim though. I talked to Sprint and got my MSL and DSU which was surprisingly painless. I actually accomplished this through the Live chat on their website. My problem is this: When I put in a domestic sim other than the Sprint SIM I get an error saying it is an incompatible SIM card. I was expecting a prompt to put in the DSU as shown on many tutorials. I have tried this with my Nandroid backup (made just after bootloader unlocking) of the last RUU from sprint. I have also tried inserting a different SIM while on CM, Team Nocturnal's GE, and NuSenSeven. Even though I knew it will only work on a stock rom.
I have gone into EPST and verified the MSL is good. I was thinking maybe there is a secret menu I haven't tried. I have also only tried an AT&T sim as of today. I will be receiving a Google Fi SIM in a few weeks but I am unsure if that will prompt me either.
Does anyone have any advice on the subject? This would be useful info for anyone that is not willing to S-OFF or even flash a custom ROM at all really.

Carrier Unlocking HTC One M7 Rogers

Been fiddling with this all day. HTC One M7 from Rogers needs to work with other carriers. Bricked itself a year ago during a system update, put SlimRom 4.4 on it and that's been fine until now. I get asked for an unlock code when I put in the new SIM, I bought one and it won't accept it (Phone has been rooted and reflashed, assuming this is why).
I backed everything up. ADB and such is working. I have an Android 4.4 Rogers RUU that I am assuming will let me unlock the SIM once installed. Also assuming S-Off required to install RUU, and attempting to get S-Off. I tried installing Sunshine (by pushing the APK) and Sunshine opens but says I need a more stock-like ROM for it to work. I'm okay with the $25 or whatever it costs, if it works. I installed htc1guru's Rogers nandroid backup in hopes of it being stock enough for Sunshine or a SIM Unlock. Touch Screen no longer works. I can get an OTG Cable tomorrow and attempt to SIM Unlock or Sunshine, if that is the problem.
Am I doing this right?

Can you please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno before posting). Your touchscreen issue is for sure caused by flashing a guru reset version way much older than your firmware version (btw what was the guru reset version used)?
