I've been trying to Sim unlock my HTC one m8 sprint hk edition, tried most methods but I got all confused by all the different methods, and still trying to unlock it.

radio problem
So i did all the steps to unlock my htc one m8, and I made a mistake flashing a radio which didn't belong to my device, now I'm constantly rebooting, and can't seem to find the stock radio that I'm supposed to use.
Unfortunately I made the big mistake to not backup my stock radio.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be gladly appreciated I'm willing to give a small donation as well thanks in advance.
My stock CiD was 654 now I'm super cid if that help
Your best bet would be to RUU at this point. If your device is S-off, you can install modified firmware without having to run a RUU. Check out OMJ's RUU/firmware thread located in the development forum.
Also, you cannot make a backup of your radio.
no need to backup your stock radio, just extract it from an ruu.
fixed!
i just flashed a firmware via hboot and got my radio back.
Now i have sucessfully completed all the steps to sim unlock it and did get ''you device is sucessfully unlock'' but still says invalid sim card any ideas?
Install an old 4.4.3 version of viper and try unlocking again

Hey guys. Well I have an HTC One from Sprint and I wanted to sim unlock it. I didn't know that with android 4.4 kitkat it is impossible (so I've heard on diferrent places) and can't get a prompt for the unlock code when I insert a diferrent sim card other than Sprint. Turns out I needed to root my HTC One to downgrade the android version. I rooted my phone and flashed a 4.2 version on my phone but now I don't have touchscreen functions. I got pissed because everywhere I look for help the instructions are not clear or there is no step-by-step assistance, only a bunch of people saying "go to this site and do this and then download this and blah blah", when I follow the links I just get outdated info with more links to outdated info. So right now I just want my HTC One unrooted but with an android 4.1 or 4.2 stock version but I can't find any accurate, info for dummies. Can anyone help me? I'm kinda desperate by now. If you need any software info about my phone, kernel, radios or things like that just let me know. I'm so tired of searching with no luck that I just want some help step by step like a newborn baby. Thanks in advance!!
Maybe u should try to flash some ROMs like Viper, it will activate ur phone automatically. My sprint htc one is running Viper5.0, and i am using Chinese carrier SIM. The phone works quite well.

between 4.2 and 4.3 the touch firmware changred you need to have 4.3 or above to use touch and your recovery has to be the latest for the m7wls(sprint)example:TWRP 2.6.3.0 I would advise installing a 4.3 rom, if you want to downgrade your firmware to 4.1 you'll have to use an RUU OF THAST VERSION but you need to be s-off to do so.
I forgot to mention that the ROM I flashed was ViperBoy's Sprint HTC One 1.29.651.10 stock Odexed. I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed as well. I am S-On right know.
The reason why I want a ROM below version 4.3 is to be able to unlock my sim with the unlock code. With 4.4 I can't make that happen because there is no prompt for entering the unlock code.

u need to S-OFF your phone first, then u can dowmgrade to android 4.3
This thread is just for sprint m7 version 4.x.x
There is another way here SIM UNLOCK BY elvisypi but when you try it on the odex rom it says vDM had stopped so you cant unlock unless you flash another rom or do S-OFF so I decided to find a way and here it is.
LET'S START
1 - flash this via recovery [MOD] SIM UNLOCK for 4.3
thanks to chas123 because he's the one who hacked HtcOMADM_SPCS (which is also used in Sprint HTC One SIM Unlock Helper) making it possible to unlock!
2 - Flash ODEX-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip
3 - Install sim unlock helper.apk and do as usual.
in case you have a problem flash the STOCK-‫ODEX-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip then redo the steps . :good:
help
where i can find this app: sim unlock helper.apk
Great
Thank you!!:good:
My phone is S-ON hboot 1.57, this method worked for me!!
thank you very much:laugh:

Yeah, I think you should think twice before you upgrade, because I basically documented my attempt to SIM UNLOCK on Lollipop 5.0.2 Sprint Stock ROM and it does NOT work...
So if you have SIM UNLOCK on anything before 5.0 then STAY THERE until someone documents it actually working for 5.0 and higher, because I have not seen anyone having it working yet...
Once again, I am on Sprint STOCK ROM but you can read about it in the other thread...

Can you post your phone details? I tried on my phone and it did not work so now I am trying another method and will post update
Sprint HTC One - M7_WLS S-ON
HBOOT 1.61.0000
RADIO 1.01.20.1225
OpenDSP 35.120.274.0718
OS 6.23.651.6
Just wondering if you have a different HBOOT or if you are running LATEST Stock ROM, because I keep seeing threads of people SIM UNLOCK phones that are NOT Stock ROM Lollipop.
So if you got it to work then I guess someone else can try again, but I am also trying another method and trying to get a SIM from Mexico because it might not like DOMESTIC US SIM cards since it is SPRINT

yes its the same as you . go check it right now , I have add some changes.
hope it works for you :good:
What worked for me was to just remove the ODEX file completely, so I flashed the modified OMADM APK and then removed the corresponding ODEX file. No more VDM client stopped errors. This was on 4.3.
hello there
My htc software information is attached below.
Its running android 4.4.2 and sense 5.5.
Do I have to downgrade it to 4.3 and follow the instructions ?
I haven't unlocked boot loader and rooted the phone. But I have done this in few other htc mobile so this is not a problem for me. And do i have to install certain roms before following above instructions.
i think i was able to sim unlock it, but getting invalid card. I have two Sprint HTC One M7s
Phone #1 (Getting invalid card)
HBoot 1.57 S-ON
Radio is 1.01.20.0904_2
Phone #2 (Works with TMobile SIM)
HBoot 1.55 S-OFF
Radio is 1.00.20.0315
Is there a way to downgrade the radio or am I missing something?
i think lollipop works but need to flash an older radio. i couldn't get the sim unlock to stick (by helper.apk and terminal command); but once i downgraded the radio, the unlock sticked and was able search for carrier...
Will this work with 1.6 hboot running resurrection ROM? Thanks.
HI,
I bought a m8 sprint harmon kardon phone in India which had official sense and relocked bootloader and all sim working. Then I read all guides and i unlocked my sprint m8 bootloader got twrp 2.7.xx for it and Installed Few Custom roms. I am on viper ROM 4.3 now. It is Misbehaving a lot. I wanted to go back to stock HTC. My question is after searching extensively i cant find proper guide or ROM to go back for my particular device.So many ROMS and RUU i am confused and scared i might brick it. Shud i flash from twrp or RUU? i Dont want to S OFF.
1) How to go back to stock harmon kardon with all sim working in india .I have S on and unlocked bootloader. shud i relock bootloader?
2)which stock Rom to flash for INDIA so all sims will work and i will not be stuck with only sprint sim working(biggest scare)
3)Will i get official OTA updates of htc in india if it is a sprint rom?
4)If not can i install an asian or indian Stock ROM? and will i loose Harmon kardon settings with that?
If i install this RUU Sprint_HTC_One_M8_HK_4.25.654.14_RUU from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
will it be OK?
If i run this RUU http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/ will i be gettin all sims working on it? or only USA sprint?
I am sorry for so many questions but i dont want to brick my phone.

1. Easiest way to go back to stock is RUU. (you will need to re-lock your bootloader for it to work)
2. If you are sim unlocked as far as I know it's permanent.
3. Yes you should.
4. If they are Sprint compatible then yes. You will most likely loose your HK setting.
Both RUU's you link to are the same, you need to be sim unlocked to get all sims working.
thanks mate

Thanks Buddy,
I flashed the RUU and i am on stock ROM and also all sims are working. I am rooted again now. Wow nice to see how cool this all is. THanks again .
Just purchased a second hand HTC One (M8).
Turned out to be a CDMA variant, bootloader shows M8_WHL, which is the Sprint variant.
When I got the device, it had a locked bootloader but was S-OFF with SuperCID (11111111) and running stock ROM.
I rooted it, by unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP.
After this, I handed it over to my friend, whom I forgot to tell that it was a CDMA variant, so he treated it as a GSM one.
He didn't notice the M8_WHL part and changed the MID to 0P6B1000 and left the CID as is, downloaded 6.12.401.1 (which is the MM ROM for International M8), flashed the RUU.zip and tried to boot the phone.
Phone will not boot now, if one types the reboot command, it just goes back to Bootloader.
TWRP can not be used correctly since it shows Internal Storage as 0MB, which I think is a bad sign.
So he gave it back to me, I downloaded a Sprint RUU (exe) from the HTC website, didn't detect the device so didn't flash it. I tried copying the ROM.zip from the exe RUU but it turned out to be corrupt.
I downloaded the RUU zip from XDA, also turned out to be corrupt, when attempting to flash it through htc_fastboot, it shows an error:
"remote project does not have sa key to decrypt ROM"
Is the phone bricked, or is there any way I can get it going again?
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi, need some help/Info on this. I have an M8 (Sprint) running ViperOne 5.0.2, it is rooted of course, S-Offed, & the bootloader is unlocked. I want to sell this and I wanted to return it back to stock if it was a quick & easy way. I was wondering if I could just run the latest HTC MM RUU & let it do all the work but I think I read somewhere that it's not that simple. Is that possible? I mean would that hurt anything or break something? If so what about pointing me to a STOCK Sprint ROM that I could just flash, I haven't been able to find one. Thanks In Advance.
You'll need to update your firmware first, then run the RUU afterwards. Check out OMJ's firmware thread for more info.
