Follow the guide posted above. After unlocking it you might have issue when connecting to other carrier s network so be sure they are using compatible frequencies. I'm almost sure you will not be able to connect it to any other CDMA carrier. Normally CDMA carriers will not accept a phone on their network if not sold by them.
Next time if you are planning to switch carriers, buy a gsm phone, much easier! even with a locked gsm phone, you'll only need to sim-unlock the phone with a purchased code then put in any gsm sim card.
Sorry I can't help you more, I'm not familiar with the WLS variant.

HTC One M7 Carrier branded Unlocked?

Hi, I bought a my HTC one m7 from Amazon US and it turns out the phone was not Factory Unlocked but a phone from puerto rico that was Unlocked with a Carrier unlock code or something like that, the phone came in a sealed box which is why IDK wtf happened, anyways
I was trying to update my rom from the HTC website and it didnt let me because It said I had the wrong model, so I contacted HTC support and they told me what I wrote first.
So my question here is, I cant return the phone because I bought shipping outside the us but it was from Amazon (I have prime). Can I convert my BRANDED phone to factory unlocked or something? I cant upgrade to lollipop because apparently the carrier this phone had is not upgrading it.
Thanks.

Yes you can convert it but it will require S-OFF
Once s-off is achieved, you have to change your CID number, might also require to change the MID number and then you are good to flash an unbranded RUU.

Ok, are there any risks involving S-OFF? Like bricking, or something else? Cant I just get a rom of lollipop and flash it? Or I specifically need a ROM for my carrier?
What happens if you force flash a factory unlocked rom into a branded phone?
Thanks

S-OFF disable all protection of the phone enabling you to flash any partition of the phone so yes there are high risks of bricking if you don't know what you are doing.

Yes you can unlock the bootloader, flash twrp recovery and then flash a custom lollipop rom like maximusHD, Nusenseven, insert coin... Some custom roms qill require to update the firmware to a 7.xx.xxx.x version. I'm personally using insert coin 7.0.7 and it works great.
Code:
What happens if you force flash a factory unlocked rom into a branded phone?
You can't. S-ON will prevent to flash any RUU (stock rom) that is not intended for your phone (not for your cid/mid).

Software Question

Is it possible to flash a different version of the software on the T-Mobile M9. I unknowingly bought the Tmobile M9 and would like to install the unlocked / developer M9 software over it. I hate the Tmobile logo and noise at bootup.

Yeah, download any m9 gsm ROM and flash via twrp

Are there any that have it working? I've tried viper and insert coin and both have it in settings, but the feature itself seems to not work at all, as it never activates.

I don't know of any, but at one time @LeeDroid was going to try to get it working. However, he had a setback with carrier support, and he has had to put it on the back burner for now.

Go to this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022]. There you will find all the tools you need to return your M9 to stock, so that you can take an OTA. @Rydah805 has put that thread together, and it will give you all the information you could possibly need.

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

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.

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

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!

[Q][SIM LOCK]How to SIM unlock SFR France HTC One?

Hey guys i got a SFR (France) sim locked M7 running latest lollipop firmware. When i insert any sim other than Vodafone it reads it but doesn't register to the network neither asks me for an unlock code.
With a Vodafone sim i only have cell phone connection when i'm on 4G coverage. On any other band i only get data connection and i can't make or receive any calls or sms.
After searching around internet (xda the most) i found out that i can sim unlock with a config.dat file but only if i'm on earlier hboot as this method was patched by htc and trying it could render the phone unusable..
So i have 2 questions now:
1) Is it possible to downgrade to let's say 1.28.401.7 (as i already have this RUU) without bricking the phone? Or, in other words, is it possible to downgrade the phone to any firmware before kitkat?
2) If it ain't possible to downgrade is their any other way to sim unlock the phone??
Thanks in advance for any help..

If you have s-off, you can downgrade to any version you want safely by flashing a ruu.
sieempi sim-unlock should work fine, I think clsA also sim-unlocked one of his M7 using this method. Otherwise it looks like Sunshine s-off tool can also be used to sim-unlock since a recent update. Check changelog 3.1 and 3.1.1 here: http://theroot.ninja/download.html

Nice find bro.. I'll try sunshine right now and if it can't unlock I'll go for the other method.
Thanks a lot..

Yes, you should be seeing a "enter code" sim lock screen. T-mobile uses a unlock app. if your phone was unlocked before on t-mobile it can be unlocked after you flash back to t-mobile firmware.(and may need to run the unlock app).
I have gone back and fort on 2 of my SM-G920T phones between t-mobile and other firmware including the metro PCS SM-G920T1 one so it should work to go back.
Sounds like you need to re-download the stock t-mobile firmware and flash in odin.

99% sure will be locked again once you go back to t-mobile as they use an app to authenticate.

If it was unlocked before on t-mobile you should be good. most you would need to do is run the t-mobile unlock app. just make sure you have a twrp backup just in case you need to go back to the rom that is working.
