M7 unlock - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I'm giving away my old m7 to a friend and when we put the sim card in, it reports it is network locked. I have purchased a code from unlock river, but it's saying it's wrong. I just wanted to check if anyone has had this problem when unlocking a modded phone? The phone is running viper one 9, s-off, unlocked bootloader etc. It did have super cid but I reverted that back to t mobile UK to see of that made a difference but it didn't. The new sim is gsm like the old one. It could still be the code, but I wonder if the mods aren't helping.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Install 4.2.2 On Sim Unlocked Handset

Hi Everyone,
Got my HTC one from 3 yesterday.
I have paid for a sim unlock code, which worked (tried a Virgin sim in and it worked) So was wondering how to install a .exe or get the update on the phone now.
My CID says H3G_001 still, but as I say the sim unlock has worked.
So basically is there a way of installing the 4.2.2 update without changing the CID or turning the S-Off?
Thanks in advance.

No, all a sim-unlock does is allow you to use the phone with any carrier, however you are still locked down to the original carrier that the phone shipped with in regards to updates.

[Q] Htc One Rooted Google Edition- SIM Unlock

Hey There
So I have a ATT version of the HTC One in black. I have rooted it and installed the factory fresh GOOGLE EDITION restore so I can get the OTA updates. It works flawlessy.
I want to SIM unlock my phone so I can bring it over to TMOBILE. I actually successfully got ATT to give me the code, but it doesn't work. Then I read somewhere that it won't work on rooted devices.
Is there by chance a workaround to get the SIM unlocked? I am very afraid I am coming close to Hard Locking the device with too many entries.
Thank you!

Are you on a custom CID ? On a custom ROM? If yes, change them back to the original and it'll work.

This is purely anecdotal but the phone I had before this was the s2 LTE model on AT&T, when they gave me the code it kept saying it was unsuccessful until I ran out of attempts. However when I actually put in a t-mobile sim card it worked fine and it was fully unlocked. Maybe try that?

You do know that to unlock the phone you need a SIM card from a different company inside the phone so that it asks for Network Unlock Code... SIM Lock is not the same...

Obviously phone is asking for sim network unlock code when we put non accepted sim card. So phone is not unlocked. We do quite a lot unlocking and few phones get this error, we have to refund customer but I am seeking solution for it. It is only in Android phones (HTC and Samsung).. Samsung's we usually unlock using unlocking boxes but HTC One is not supported other than code. (Setool support older HBOOT).

[Q] How to solve SIM Registration problem on HTC One M7

So I've found a HTC One M7 in the park about 2 weeks ago that was blocked on O2 - I live in England - so I bought a code and unlocked it to work on all the networks, however, it won't read the sim card even if I manually choose the network - it says that my sim card cannot be registered on that network and I'm also having no signal. So I thought that the person who lost it went to O2 and O2 blocked it. So, here comes my question - how can I unblock it so that it can read my SIM card, or, I don't know, register it? Thanks in advance! By the way, I unlocked it's Bootloader, I rooted it, and I installed a Custom Recovery, but I couldn't S-off it cause it is running HBOOT 1.61 with Stock Android Lollipop 5.0.2.

Removing Simlock from HTC Mini 2 after update to CM 12.1

Hello all,
I have a UK HTC Mini 2 locked on EE, I would like to remove the simlock and as such I have purchased a code to do so from ebay. However, the code does not work, I have verified with the seller and he says it is correct so I assume it has something to do with me installing CM 12.1 (NostomoPop).
My phone is S-On, Bootloader unlocked, could somebody advise me how I could unlock the phone please??
Thanks :good:

The unlock works only on SENSE ROMs, so you can't unlock it on CM, AOSP or GPE ROMs. Even after you have unlocked you won't have network in non-sense ROMs.

I'm sorry to come to this thread so late but I've only just seen it. I hope you have already solved your problem but just in case here is my experience.
I have a One Mini 2 which was bought from eBay locked to Vodaphone. I bought a SIM unlock code online and had the same problem, i.e. the code did not work.
Stupidly I had cut down my mini SIM card to a micro card using a template I found online and this turned out to be the problem. I ordered a new SIM card from Giffgaff (their cards now come as a 3-format card which you cna just pop out to the correct size) and, after doing a SIM swap on-line to the new card number, put the new card in and entered the number as supplied. It worked perfectly.
I had already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP while waiting for the new card to arrive.
I have installed several different roms, CM12, Carbon, AOSP, Nostromopop (by far the best!), reverted back to stock, gained S-OFF with Sunshine, reloaded full stock from RUU, reinstalled TWRP, reinstalled latest Nostromopop, SuperSU, and on and on and on. I've never lost mobile network since I put in the new SIM card and entered the number I was given originally to unlock it.
So just in case you are still having problems, that was my solution: get a new SIM card!
Good luck
Hi ajlajluk,
I am in the same position as you were - HTC one mini 2 simlocked to vodafone, tried online unlock codes with no luck. I have a giffgaff simcard and cannot get it working, can you elaborate more on exactly what you did to get the unlock code working?
"after doing a SIM swap on-line to the new card number, put the new card in and entered the number as supplied. It worked perfectly"
How do you mean sim swap? tranfered numbers?
Im not having much luck when attempting to flash a stock rom and Sunshine doesnt like the CM11/CM12 roms when I tried to S-OFF (to change CID).
Any advice massively appreciated
