Hello everybody,
I am thinking of buying a brand new never used One X+ locked to AT&T and bring it down to Uruguay.
Couple of questions:
1) Does anybody know if the device needs to be activated first with an AT&T SIM before I can do anything with it (for example SIM unlocking it)?
2) Are SIM unlock codes for AT&T network for this device easy to find (assuming I am OK in paying a couple of dollars for it)?
3) Which is the best place to get the unlock code?
Thank you all for your help.
It may not be that easy to unlock it.
No it doesn't need to be activated first but since here in the US its now illegal to unlock your phone they may make it more difficult to find unlock codes for their phones

looks like november 2012 unlock codes was released and it is easy to get them. Do you think this has changed?
I do not want to spend 550 USD on a phone that I cannot use
Thanks again.

Probably not, if you got to a reputable site they will refund your money if the code doesn't work or if they don't have one for your device

I also used cellunlocker.net last night. Charged me $15 and I had the unlock code within an hour. Worked perfectly. Amazing.

Cellunlocker.net worked fine for me. Took about 18 hours and cost $15. No problem.
Now I wish they didn't charge $30 to do my iPhone 5

Hi there, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock this phone yet? Since the phone is so new, I have absolutely no idea if these codes being sold through eBay will work.
Thanks

They prob will. Just make sure you pay via paypal. Then if anything goes wrong, you have some comeback.

I bought mine through O2 and oddly enough, it was unlocked so I didn't have to get a code. Before I realised it was unlocked though I did try 2 sites for a code, neither had it.
My current HTC Sensation was purchased first day it was released and I had to wait 2 weeks for the codes to become available. I would guess this would be similar.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
I do unlock phones for a price. I can run a check with your IMEI number and tell you if it can be unlocked or not and how much it'll cost. Shoot me a PM if you want me to check your IMEI number. I'm a dev and not some shady guy lol
I did try to buy one off eBay but the guy said the phone is on no system at the minute and refunded me. I'm just using a giffgaff sim now which suits me as I was considering paying off my contract early anyway. I'll probably try again in a month.

What I do is I have a list of IMEI numbers that I check on a regular basis to see when it can be unlocked and then ill notify you when it is possible.

I am thinking about getting the AT&T HTC One X+. I was originally going to pick a Nexus 4, but i don't want to wait over a month to get a phone. So, I am wondering if the One X+ for AT&T has a locked bootloader, and if it can be un-locked. I never used HTC sense 4 before, but i am an AOSP guy. I assume it is locked, since the One X(original) for AT&T was locked. But can anyone confirm this?
It is locked but HTC very easily lets you unlock it. Htcdev.com

Yes, but the AT&T version of the One X+. I am sure AT&T has locked it down, they do it with most of their new phones.

I have the AT&T version on the One X+, I got it in the mail yesterday. HTCDEV.com works on the AT&T One X+, can that change in the future? who knows. But as of right now I have an AT&T One X+ in my pocket that has an unlocked bootloader

Did you use the same method that was used to bootloader unlock the original one x? Also do the international roms work with the AT&T version?

I followed the normal procedure that I used for the One X and that is shown on the HTCDEV.com website. I dont think there are any roms for the AT&T version right now nor a root procedure.

You cannot unlock an att one x on htc Dev.
Part of the bootloader unlocking procedure for an att one x involves spoofing the Cid so that htc Dev will allow you to unlock the bootloader. So, to reiterate, you CANNOT unlock an att one x on htcdev.com
So, how does the "normal unlocking procedure" on an att branded one x go?
I know on the original att one x with duel core S4 required the Cid spoofing. But are you sure that's needed for the new one X+ that has the Tegra

I have an ATT One X and I unlocked it on HTCDev and with the cid that you mention, I am so sorry I forgot about that.
But then again this thread is for the One X+

Yes, my comments appear to be brash. But I was not actually speaking to him. I was casting a shadow of a doubt upon his claims, so that the untold masses would not take what he said as truth, go out and perform some function on their brand new (att branded) one x+, only to find out they now have an expensive paper weight.
If you don't believe that happens, try this link:forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=101043188
So did I step on his toes? Maybe, but this isn't Facebook. I'm not here for "social skills" development.

Those threads were for the att one x from people flashing the wrong Rom.... If you simply tried HTC dev with a normal non super cid phone it would give you an error because infact att has HTC block that cid.... Now as the nice gentlemen(not you) posted on the first page that att is letting people unlock the one x plus well see how long that goes for.... With the roms I'm sure they'll be a root version soon and the devs will probably have aroma options to choose what phone you have and maybe flash a different radio according to the chipset of lte or hspa....you flamed someone for a question I was wondering too...have a nice day buddy
Maybe someone else will be able to back up my claims soon.

I'm in the same boat. Purchased at no commitment price, and AT&T is unable/unwilling to give me the unlock code. Kind of annoying!
That's AT&T for you. I've tried in numerous phones to get my SIM unlocked and no go...

That hasn't been my experience with them. I just got an unlock code for my old HTC Aria when I got the One X. Just went to their website and used the support chat feature. Now if your phone is subsidized you may have trouble.

I wonder if that was the issue. Because I always have been under contract when trying. Thanks for the heads up.

You might try calling them and telling them you are planning a trip outside the country and need to SIM unlock so you can use a prepaid SIM. That has worked for others in the past.
Good luck!
I SIM unlock phones and they aren't free. I buy and resell the codes. Shoot me your IMEI number, the country and carrier it is locked to in a PM. I'll see if it can be unlocked. If it can be, it will be a bit pricey since they just released a new service for HTC phones.
Need to unlock!!

Cant unlock it either
I wish I had read this thread earlier.
Just bought the One X+ at a no-commitment price.
AT&T reps online and in the store told me they'd unlock it. But now that I talk to them, they say they cant/wont :/

Talk to hasoon, he should be able to help
I think the main reason you can't unlock your phone is that ATT won't let you unlock it when your using the phone while your on a plan. When you upgrade to a new phone or change phones then you can unlock your old one. Source: experience

Hasoon is a great guy and I'v talked to him.
Unfortunately, he cant help.
I talked to AT&T international (1-800-335-4685). I'v heard they are pretty relaxed about unlocking phones.
Also, I bought mine at the no-commitment price.
The rep on the phone agreed to unlock my X+ and asked for my IMEI#. But after he put it into the system, he said AT&T can't unlock it till May 16th 2013.
I'v heard AT&T tends to do this when it has an exclusive phone.
But this might just be me. You guys should try this and see if it works.
Still no luck ...anyone ?

Hello there,
I bought my HTC one from tmobile and recently just decided to unlock it but haven't yet, and since I bought it from tmobile on a payment plan, $20/month for 24 months, and I have been leaving payments to pay it off a little quicker, and since I haven't finished paying it off but I want to unlock it can I unlock it and flash roms while paying it off or are there some type of restrictions on it since it's basically theirs but I'm just paying it off, and no I didn't get any insurance with them but if you guys have any information about this and can assist me in any way that would be appreciated
Sent from my HTC One
you can do what you want with it but whatever happens you will still be liable for the remaining balance on the phone
Ok, cool, thanks for the info, I can deal with the consequences but if there were certain restrictions on the phone then that wouldve been a problem, but anyway I'll unlock it when I get home, currently on the road back home from north carolina, and got more hours to go before I hit a computer wiith the right software so I may unlock it, thanks for the info

I got this phone The AT&T Version of the HOX+ about a month ago off of ebay and I rooted it with no issues. I'm currently on viper ROM and love it.
My service is StragithTalk AT&T and I'm not liking the data anymore as it seems to be getting worse. I was going to move to MetroPCS (Tmobile based 4G Service) but I tried a trial SIM card and it said that my phone was locked.
How do I go about unlocking it? The guy at the MetroPCS store said he had a service that can do it for $40 but I figure I'd ask here before I commit to doing that.
Any ideas?
Thanks all!
You'll have to get a paid unlock there is no free ones out! $40 seems abit expensive but you'll be paying atleast $30 anywhere...

Thanks for the info! I didn't know if the $40 was a fair price or not... I didn't think there was a free way to do it. Once unlocked is it permanent? I would guess so but I figured I’d make sure.

Yeah once your unlocked it is permanent. You can flash roms ect with no issues. If i was you i'd look on ebay for the cheapest unlock methods.

Is it safe to do that sort of thing on ebay? They can't remotely hurt my phone or anything?
Also how would I do that while I have working service? I took the other sim card back, would I need a sim card for another provider to be able to put in the unlock code?
I used eBay to buy unlock codes before and it works. Also cheap.

You'll need another sim. The seller will provide you with an unlock code. Then you put the new sim in. Your phone will tell you your device is sim locked and give you the option to enter your unlock code
