So I purchased a unlock code and inserted a non sprint sim and when I reboot it doesnt ask me for a "Sim Unlock Code". It just says "SimLock Enabled, 4G LTE/GSM will not work as SimLock is enabled". How do I get to the page to enter my code?
Sprint devices aren't unlockable with unlock codes, you need to contact Sprint customer car and request it be unlocked OTA.
You can unlock the sprint version using unlock m9 method
I was a able to unlock my sprint 626s using the same unlock method for sprint m9. Search for the 'Getting SPC unlocking Sprint M9' thread and follow the process carefully. Only downside is I'm stuck on 2G and don't know how to enable 3G

I just entered the unlock code I received from ATT and got the message unlock code passed. I take it that this means its unlocked? Is it a permanent unlock?

I believe that it is a permanent unlock - however - please read the WIKI and do not confuse UNLOCK with HARDSPL if you are going to FLASH ROMS.
Bill
what was the exact code or numbers you used to unlock the phone...because some of the #'s for unlock just unlock the service providers branded lock but the other codes unlock the phone period
if the code is from AT&T, then its for permanent sim unlock and you can use other sims. no more, no less
Yes the code is directly from ATT. I told them I'd be doing some international travel and wanted the option of putting in a european sim card while there.
I bought a used Sprint M8 Not HK version
And I successfully unlocked the simlock,because I have been to China and I can use the GSM and CDMA network there.
I want to change my carrier as AT&T or T-mobile even if Version Wireless,but it just tell me the SIM Card Is Invalid !
I visited a lot of website and tried any possible solution on the Internet,include but not limite in: Change ROM,Flash Radio,Format /cache /sytem /data,Retry simlock again and again,Set QPST,Set CDMAworkstation,Set DFS ...
Well,
I even want to buy the unlock code from xxxxxx.com,but they warn me do not buy the code if the phone didn't request.
Why the phone didn't request the unlock code?
I truly hope I can unlock this phone,
If you know how to deal with it,Please help me!
I am using Sprint (maybe)original ROM,Software version 3.31.654.2,OS vision Android 4.4.4,Baseband version 1.08.20.0916
Even if you SIM unlock the phone you can't use it on another domestic carrier. If you're international that's another story.

But it is designed can enter the unlock code to unlock domestic carrier and international carrier.
And the domestic unlock code is actually exist,just have no idea why this phone not ask.
Maybe the unlock program damage the part of domestic unlock function?
I tried calling them but they won't unlock it. Are there other options as of now? I have the unlock code, but I do not know where to enter it.
The only way to unlock it is by calling sprint, they will send you the unlock OTA and instruct you to do Settings-->General-->system updates-->UICC Unlock
The menu to enter GSM SIM unlock code was removed from Sprint's stock ROM.
I think you have to tell them you are going to travel internationally to get them to unlock it.
you also have to have a current account with them and you can't unlock more than one device per 12 month
Hello, I am very new so I'm a little nervous about posting but can somebody please help me?
I have a Sprint HTC One M8 and I have the unlock code from Sprint, however when I put in my sim card the phone reads "Invalid Card". I think this is because I would like to use the phone with T-mobile, a domestic carrier in the US. If somebody knows how to unlock the phone for domestic carriers and can help me or give me instructions I would be very grateful. I'd even be willing to pay if someone could take the time to figure this out. I have tried the unlock tutorials on the forum, but nothing has worked for domestic.

Good luck with your research. Domestic SIM unlock has not been successfully done on M8 as far as I know. There were some people did the domestic SIM unlock on M7 back in 2013 and you may want to leverage their work in your try (search in M7 forums). Sprint classified the M8 as international unlock capable and domestic – non capable in their website. M9 and up series have the capacity to get factory GSM unlock to use domestically. Please share your work if you get success.

Thank you for your reply sir. Which steps exactly are you referring to?
Because a friend got two sprint m8 relocked after he upgraded them to marshmallow. Is sim unlock confirmed for marshmallow? I see no posts to affirm this sir.
I got this device as a second hand but thought it was network locked as I could only surf with 2g. Neither 3g nor 4g came up. While searching for a solution, I went to the activate device section and reset cellular data which unlocked the phone and now says simlock enabled. I need help on how to unlock it as I'm not resident in the US and it's locked to Sprint network. Found a thread on how to unlock m9 which was said to work for the 626s but could not download the txt files to complete the process
