i used idoneApps gt3.1.5
in this app theres a option to unlock sim and when u click it on the ls991 it brings up a menu to enter a unlock code
now i know this app needs root to some extent but this may work on unrooted also.
that said i may be wrong but if im not mistaken the gsm unlock comes from sprint and its called a uicc unlock which modifys the carrier folder and a few other things to unlock it... not unlock code but again i myself have seen this option in the said app above and it may work ive never put in a code. i used the available free methods.
i see you say svc code or service code rite which is also ure msl which is only obtainable by sprint.
what firmware are you on??? u may be able to get a refund on that unlock code and do it yourself for free

The app requires root. If you are on ZVB or beyond won't work.

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.

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 have a T Mobile HTC HD7. Can anyone suggest where I can get it unlocked at a reasonable price?
T-Mobile will give you the code for free, just ask.
I spoke with tmobile about the unlock code. Is it just to unlock to use any sim or will it unlock the phone to use with the new windows phone tool they have out now. I try to use the tool now and it says phone is locked, will this code unlock it. Thanks

The unlock code from T-mobile will only SIM unlock the phone (you can use with any carrier that has SIM cards).
To dev unlock the phone, you can register on create.msdn.com and use the tool there, or use something like ChevronWP7.
Cell Unlocker says they have the unlock code for the Vivid with a 100% guarantee and they say it's permanent. Is this the same unlock code that we need?

That's likely a SIM unlock code, which will allow the phone to work with a carrier other than the one that sold it. There's also a bootloader unlock code that we're supposed to be able to get direct from HTC at htcdev.com that will allow us to flash custom software to the phone, but right now nobody seems to have succeeded in getting that.
As bjg222 said. That is sim unlock to use it on another GSM carrier.

You may be right. I will send them an E-Mail and ask them.
Thanks for your input.
Yes it is a sim card unlock, finally got an answer from my E-Mail

Yeah, most reports so far say that the AT&T version gives an error when going through the process on htcdev.com. (Haven't tried it personally, my phone won't be here till tomorrow)

I did go through the HTCDev.com site and followed the directions to submit for a Bootloader Unlock Code. It does error out say CID Not Allowed. This doesnt surprise me give the phone launched on Sunday.
I'm actually looking for a SIM unlock so I can use the Raider with a non Bell SIM. Tried Cellunlocker.net and despite the site saying they have it (and paying for it) I was emailed a couple of days later with a refund saying they don't have it yet.
Anyone know of a site that has the unlock code?
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

Im retty sure there isnt one. Theres a uicc unlock. As per sprint unlocks this device remotely upon contract fulfilment. And i believe they unlock for iinternational use only. I dont think the codes will work on this device. I may be wrong but u may have been scammed
