Basically the title says it all. If I SIM unlock my Sprint HTC One M8 HK can it be activated on Verizon?
I believe it can only be unlocked internationally....

Hi,
I am thinking of buying an htc one sprint version from ebay. It says it needs to be activated on sprint. Can we unlock it without activating it on sprint?
Its possible:
Seems like most have the best luck using T-Mobile SIM

Hi I have an HTC ONE from Sprint.
I contacted HTC directly since Sprint was hella not cool with carrier unlocking my phone as usual.
The free methods to carrier unlock simply do not work AT ALL.
I have carrier unlocked T-Mobile and AT&T phones no problem in the past. The phone simply goes through the standard unlock process with the PIN and What not which I have now.
Do I need a Custom RUU to NUKE the complete crap Sprint Restrictions Galore and have a Standard Android phone with ZERO signs of Sprint?
I hate seeing Sprint all over on this thing it's so locked down it almost seems IMPOSSIBLE to carrier unlock it.
It supports the GSM AT&T bands so it should work.

From HTC DIRECT - They Sent me the Unlock Code for my IMEI. They said Sprint has a High Level Encryption Enabled and it must be Normal Encryption to unlock it... Sprint freaks out about me not wanting to pay them Hundreds a Month for their service and won't Help at ALL.

HTC One (Sprint USA)

I have worked with some Sprint HTC One's and their no different that the GSM One as far as unlocking the bootloader and flashing roms is concerned. Sprint is a CDMA service and their One has a different partition structure, so it's Critical you use only Custom Recovery / Rom's designed for Sprint.
If your goal is to unlock the phone I would use the sieempi method (choose HTC Amaze as your device).
Then to rid your phone of the Bloatware simply unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a custom rom.
Ive seen that using a Verizon phone makes flashing/rooting difficult. But i have the reverse problem and I cant see to find any answers.
I have an international HTC One M7, CID tmob101, it is from germany.
I live in the US, my normal carrier is verizon, and i would like to take my current sim card (verizon) and use it in my HTC.
I have already unlocked it if that helps, some input on to if its even possible would be nice.
Cheers
I am going to buy this tablet for my parents. However, I am not sure what the differences are between the two model. Are they GSM unlocked? I was told all of the Verizon phones are GSM unlocked. Meanwhile, Ringplus offers some free plan with Sprint network.
The verizon one should be unlocked. best way is to check the demo one in store, by putting a sim card in it... the sprint one is locked.
but if the network runs on sprint, then the sprint one does not need to be unlocked
Thanks, stealthj
wondering if there is a new or working sim unlock for sprint htc one m8 hk edition for domestic thanks much
