really, since you are s-off, you can follow any guide on CID unlock. its a simple cmd line to do it through fastboot.

If you're talking about doing SuperCID and flashing a GSM ROM, it won't work due to Sprint being a CDMA device. However you can GSM unlock your device and use Virgin Mobile, provided the frequencies match (2G will work for sure).

What does virgin mobile use as far as bandwidth?

My m7 os already unlocked and works for sure on t-mobile I have my SIM in as we speak but only works in 3g which my service was on Sprint so I honestly don't mind 3g speeds lol.
But it's to expensive for my liking and virgin mobile is cheaper any help guide etc?

Thank you for the link but for the first link it says only on gsm network based phones.
I have a spr m7.
I'd love to wish to use it on boost mobile or virvgin mobile.

AFAIK, there isn't any method to flash it. I asked how to flash it to Verizon and I got told it can't be done, so I think you're out of luck mate :/.

The post pretty much explains what you should do. If you are S-ON, you have to be S-OFF to downgrade you version. If S-OFF, you can downgrade by using a lower RUU. The post explains it pretty well.

Unable to Sim Unlock some Sprint M8's ?

Hey there!
SO I'm just about to buy myself a M8 or Iphone 5 ( If No option ) For what I have read on this forum from yesterday seems like some Sprint M8's can't be unlocked ? The posts I read was from April maybe the Bad A$$ people might have fixed it already ? Please enlighten me on this I prefer the HTC one M8 but the second option is the Iphone 5... I've used a M7 that was ATT as my last phone I Unlocked that Via a Unlock code from a website for 15$ And I don't live in the USA I live in Sri Lanka :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance have a good day.

Little hope for sprint ones.
You can download a file and flash it on the bootloader via the Sim Unlock option, but as much as i know it only worked for AT&T and T Mobile. You could give it a try though but i think theres a Risk of a brick

Bump ! help a bro out

I haven't heard anything about people not being able to SIM unlock the Sprint M8. The only issue I have heard about is that some cannot get S-Off without Sunshine (Which costs $25). There are several posts on this forum regarding SIM unlock. I have done it twice now and both times I was not in the US and thus not on Sprint's network. One time in Malaysia and one time in Costa Rica. The simplest is to install BadBoyz HK rom and then use the unlock method in their post. The unlock took about 5 minutes. You may need to enable other frequency bands on the phone, but that wasn't difficult either and there is a post in the general forum about how to do that.

how are you sim unlocking your sprint m8?
use bad boyz method, it works
but make sure you'r on bad boyz rom when you do the sim unlock, wont work with stock rom. after then sim unlock, you can go back to stock rom if you want to.
no need for s-off to sim unlock

[Q] Is the Verizon one unlocked?

Wow I am looking into getting a ONE M7, and I am so confused.
So many models.
Basically I am only going to be using it abroad, so I need an unlocked version.
Also, I like to install a clean ROM so I would prefer a variant which allows me to do this.
I found a good deal on a Verizon One M7, but not sure if it suits these needs.
plz help!
Thank you!

Absolutely not. Verizon HTC one are locked to Verizon. Even the bootloader can't be unlocked via htcdev.com.
look for a M7_UL unlocked

Thanks for that! The unlocked versions are expensive. Any other carrier's ONE I can maybe buy and turn into an unlocked version?

If you buy a carrier version you'll have to sim-unlock it using a paid code and if that doesn't work you'll have to s-off the phone to use the sieempi method to sim-unlock.
stay away from Sprint and Verizon variant, you want a gsm variant (M7_UL)

I am looking at ATT versions now (still decent prices). So... hardware wise it's the same as the Google Play Edition? Will I be able to buy an UNLOCKED ATT M7 (which I am looking at the moment) and turn it into a PLAY EDITION M7 (via different ROM)?
* if there's one thing I can't stand is carrier's bloat and so on...

Yes but you will probably need S-OFF

Thank you! S-OFF is something I buy? Or something I do? Or something that I need to ask the seller about?
Thx so much

The way you'll achieve S-OFF depends on what bootloader version you'll have so its basically impossible to tell at this point. On some early bootloader versions, you can s-off for free using exploits posted in this forum (revone, moonshine, rumrunner). Latest hboot version (1.57) will require Sunshine exploit which cost 25$ (but well invested imo)
So when you'll get your phone, try to sim-unlock it first using a code (you must be 100% stock rom to use a sim-unlock code)
Then, If you want S-OFF, do it before updating. Each time you do update the phone to a newer version, you decrease your chances of getting S-OFF.
You'll only need s-off if the sim-unlock code method doesnt work and if you want to do a full conversion of your phone to a GPE version for example.

Thanks so much!!!!!!

S-OFF will not sim-unlock your phone but you'll be able to sim-unlock using another method (sieempi) which require s-off unlike the sim-unlock code.

Is there anyway to downgrade Lollipop?

I am also in the same boat with OP, I have a Sprint HTC One M8 Harmon/Kardon with Marshmallow 6.20.654.3. I live overseas and i need to get this phone sim-unlocked. Can this be done with the current software version or do I need to downgrade the ROM to be able to sim-unlock my phone for use with an international GSM-Network?
