Got one of these locked to o2. Is there any way to debrand and or Unlock (free)?
Given none of my Sims are on o2 it's a bit rubbish without it... These forums look a bit sparse on this request. Thanks in advance
Looks like there's a load of firmware on here https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=2647 not sure if any of them are any use though

Hi,
I was wondering if a G1 locked to T-mobile be unlocked if flashed with a new ROM. Apparently, they could not provide us with an unlock code for the phone. I am not very familiar to the new HTC phones, but older ones (very) under windows mobile as far as I recall, can be unlocked when flashed with a new ROM.
I hope someone can help me regarding this. Thanks!
Nope, afraid not its still sim locked.
aw.. that's disappointing.. well, thanks anyway!
don't be ,just call up T-mobile and get the unlock code for free
Hi guys,
I am writing because I have a friend in need and xda was more than helpful to me in the past. I have Samsung Note 2 but my friend owns HTC One European(probably) and the phone has a sim lock on it. It is bought in Bosnia and Herzegovina and he came to Austria to live now and phone is of course, not usable. Can you point me please to some unlock methods, free or not? Ive been searching a bit online and all I can find is unlock for HTC One Sprint. He has 4.4.2 now and update is available.

There is many threads here regarding sim unlock, use the search option. Essentially, he will need to purchase an unlock code i.e from ebay (cost between 10-20$ US). Then when inserting the new sim card, he will get prompted to enter the sim unlock code. The phone must be on stock sense rom to use the unlock code. (some users reported successfully sim-unlocking their devices using arhd sense rom)

We have already done that. Code isn't working actually. Is there any way of determining the exact model of it? I've read that some codes don't work for Telenor Serbia or VIPnet Croatia. It's not the network from which he has bought it but it's also not possible that M:tel from Bosnia changed it's model somehow.
Hi everyone. I am trying to root my Htc one mini 2. (Its the verizon htc one remix). People have told me its the same phone. Anyway when i try to unlock bootloader and copy my token id using htc dev, I get this error. No one seems to know anything. Please help.
Error Code: 172.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed (MID not exist in Model Rule).\
So far all i know is cid means carrier ID. Is this because its verizons version of the phone? thanks
I guess that your version isn't unlockable
Correct no methods worked to unlock the bootloader...
had to resell mine to get the European one mini 2....
I've been having the same problem.. It's because it's the verizon version of the phone. Verizon likes being a **** so they prevent HTC from giving out bootloader unlock codes for their phones. This basically means you can't unlock the phone through any official methods from HTC. The best bet is to wait for sunshine 3.0 to be released and see if that works because right now it's the only way to unlock verizon htc phones. However I'm not sure if sunshine is going to work for the remix. So right now there's no solution and there might not be one in the near future either. It's hit or miss. If rooting is that important to you, you might want to trade in for a new phone. Or just try and wait it out and see if something comes up.
Saw someone said that there's no difference between the cdma version of htc 510 and the gsm version. So I think it can be sim unlocked just like the htc one m7/m8.
Here's what I've tried.
First unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/
Then root the device as this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/general/how-to-root-htc-desire-510-t2951744
Then following the htc one unlock procedure as this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586704
Since 510 has 4.4.2, so a modified HtcOMADM_SPCS is needed. That's where I got stuck. The modified file shared on the forum causes vDM client crashes, and no API pop out.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. any ideas?
you have S-OFF ?
This device has lots of potential, maybe we should offer a bounty for this.

Hello,
i'm on the same page as you.. Check my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/sim-lock-how-to-sim-unlock-sfr-france-t3116514
The only method i found is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659430, and i'm willing to try it but i don't know if i must downgrade or not..
Also i'm afraid that that i may end up like this guy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-sim-unlocking-m8-t2988838 if i don't downgrade.
But since i'm on lollipop i don't know how far back i can go without bricking the device..
Any advice would be really appreciated..

are you talking about the HTC one M8 in your signature ?
if so, 401 WWE (generic) are already unlocked, if that is the original firmware, if not, you need to have stock rom on the phone to unlock it.
I have a Vodafone M7 sat by me which came with 401 firmware on it rather than the Vodafone branded firmware which is already unlocked, and the same goes for my virgin mobile M8 sat by me, 401 firmware, already unlocked.

No I'm talking about an M7 that is locked to SFR France and only gets 4G signal..
No 2G or 3G and this happens only with a Vodafone sim, with other carriers I have no signal..

strange, do you have stock rom on it ?
Not at the moment but I had checked it with stock untouched rom without any luck.
