To sim-unlock the phone you need to purchase an unlock code. (5-15$)
Or if the phone is s-off you can sim-unlock it yourself using the SIEEMPI method (Free)
Sunshine s-off also have an experimental sim-unlock function (sunshine cost 25$)
If by "standard rom" you mean an unbranded rom, you will probably need s-off to convert that orange branded phone to an international unbraded rom. You could also flash custom roms.

If your looking for a sim card unlock then you have to buy a code for about 20$ you just type it in and the phone will accept any sim card . But if you want to make sure there is no trace then phone was locked you should flash HTC s generic WWE ginger bread Rom that way no carrier bloat ware is there

Can Rogers/Bell Raider Rom flash Rom flash to AT&T Vivid?
I want not AT&T radio, because don't send SMS use Japan Carrier "Docomo".
I get Raider Rom from extracted RUU, rename to PH39IMG.zip.
Tried update use HBOOT, but stop CID error.
As other methods "adb flash radio", that is safety?
If there is a person who tried someone, please let me know.
Have you unlocked the phone's bootloader?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
yes. I have Vivid, that unlocked bootloader.
The Bell Raider ROM(PH39IMG.zip) update to "re-locked" Vivid was already tried, but stop CID error.
I don't think radios can be flashed until we have S-off. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
You have an actual AT&T Vivid that you are trying to use on a carrier in Japan?

I am using Vivid with NTT Docomo SIM in Japan now.
There should just be GOLDCARD which can be used by VIVID...

You need to have the phone sim-unlocked in order to use the simcard. There is no goldcard needed for the vivid.

So the issue I'm having is I can't SIM unlock my One... I'm running ARHD 20.2 with matching firmware. I'm on rogers and have tried two different companies (online) got the same unlock code from both and I'm unable to unlock using a telus SIM card.... any thoughts??

I should have probably mentioned I'm also s-off cid 11111111
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
at least change the Cid to Rogers. if that doesn't work install venom rom, that's how I did it. if all fails, go to full stock. s-off should be fine though..

I have read many posts from owners trying to get SIM unlock. Most websites have sold SIM unlock codes that failed to unlock SIM on HTC One
I would suggest contacting the carrier the phone is locked to, Rogers in your case.
In the UK where I live, phone carrier will supply a SIM unlock code for a nominal fee approximately £15 ($24)

I ended up changing my cid back to ROGER001 and flashing a stock Rom. The code I was provided ended up being the same code rogers gave me. It worked after that. Flashed my ARHD backup now I'm good to go

Hi all I have a rooted m7 running AR 71.1 and I was wondering if it is possible to use one of those code services on Ebay to unlock my SIM. I have read in the one xl forum, that running a sense based ROM on the one it is possible and thought it might be possible on the m7 as well. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks.

I known some users here have successfully sim unlocked using a code on arhd.
you can also use the sieempi method if you have s-off.
Thanks alray. I will try and find this code. I'll also check this other thing you mentioned.

Sorry, I must have been asleep when I read your reply. You meant the paid unlock code. Thanks again.
