Can't sim unlock amaze CM10 rooted s-on - HTC Amaze 4G

I have a htc amaze s-on rooted running CM10. I bought an sim unlock code but it says unlock is unsuccessful. The code provider says that rooted phones may not take the code is this true? What can I do?

Soff & super cid. + factory rom
Sig:
What do you mean I can't say that??!!.. It's the fkin Internet!

You need neither S-OFF nor SuperCID.. However you probably have to flash your appropriate Stock ROM..

The title of the sim unlock thread here specifically states Soff..
The code you have will need factory rom.. But if your suppliers source for the code is no good (not uncommon) then I suggest the free option that does work.
If you are here and want to make proper use of a fully unlocked phone Soff and Supercid are a good idea.
Don't be scared of either.. There is no reason not to do it.. Other than the Debbie downers or chicken littles

ITS OFFICIAL.... My Amaze is SuperCID proof....

I have tried various ways to get my supercid to work and it doesnt. I give up. I just give up.
I put the PG58IMG on the root of the sd card and the bootloader tells me there is no image found.... WTF!
I am about to throw this phone against the wall.... (no I will not give it away, I will kill it) if someone doesn't explain to me why this is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have obtained S-Off earlier this morning.... that was the easiest part of my day....... Tell me how putting supercid on my phone is the hardest part of my day???
When I type in "fastboot getvar cid" it shows me my default cid....
I am going to kill this thing soon....
Why do you need superCID anyway? You're already on TMobile =)

Also, you are on a version of bootloader that falsely reports the cid as 0202 no matter what it actually is. More than likely you are supercid already.

I really don't want Tmobile knowing that I hacked my phone.... its none of their or HTC's business..... I just need their service ..... to make calls and texts..... I don't want them adding account notes saying "Oh she hacked her phone" .... so if I ever need advice.... they are going to treat me like a dumb piece of sh!t because I altered my phone..... or say "we cant help you because u altered your phone" ......
Ok since I seem to be missing something.... I would need you guys to explain to me (please) what exactly I need.... What do I need to do to make my SCID to work.... I want to be able to write 11111111 so I could flash whatever I want........ I am kinda lost.... and I do not like feeling like a noob....
I am currently running:
S-OFF, Energy Rom (GB), HBoot 1.90.2005.
History:
I had the ICS leak, but took it off. (Does that affect my HBoot?)
Apps at my disposal:
Root Explorer, Rom Manager, 4EXT Recovery, and Titanium Backup.
Well SCID won't let you flash ANYTHING it will only let you flash other Carriers RUUs that also carry the Amaze/Ruby. It won't let you flash a GS2 Rom on your Amaze if that's what you're thinking. Being a Tmobile Customer, we are the only carriers with the ICS for the Amaze so its pointless for now. And Android RevolutionHD does not require SCID for Tmobile users because its based off the Tmobile RUU.
Once other carriers, that also carry the Amaze/Ruby, have an awesome Rom then SCID maybe needed.

his base is Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) - latest official HTC RUU 2.14.531.1 which is tmobile...i admittedly havent read thru his entire thread, but im not sure why you would need scid when his base is tmobile and youre on tmobile his prerequisite is likely said in general, but directed towards telus, wind users since there seem to be alot of people here on those networks (they in fact would need scid to flash this rom, since their cid is different)

YOU can do with YOUR phone whatever you want, BUT since there arent any roms with a telus/wind base (none that ive seen), im not sure why you need to change your cid

In order to have a successful rooting / flashing experience.... you must read.... A LOT.... I hate reading.... But ever since I joined XDA I have done way too much reading... I paid 700 dollars for my phone.... There's no way I'd be stupid enough to not read and brick the hell out of my phone.... My PS3 was only 300 ..... my laptop was only 350.... and my monitor was about 360 and my ipod was about 250.... its the most expensive piece of equipment I own.....
I take care of all of my devices..... I cannot afford to brick my phone.... because once I do.... I'd have to go back to my stupid LG G2x.... and I can't have that!!!!!!!!!!
Plus I learn when I read....
It also says that I need to do a Super Wipe...... so now I gotta read a hell lot of threads and figure out what super wipe does.... and how to put it on my phone....

I see that you got your Queston answered in the supercid thread but this is also for those who posted in this thread.
Your problem is that you have ENG HBoot. You need JB Hboot (or is it JD?), which you can grab in the supercid thread. after you flash the hboot you can supercid. You can reflash ENG Hboot when finish.
I've experienced the same problem as you and this was my fix.

If you had the ICS leak already, might as well flash the latest leak (reported better connectivity than the first leak) and try to superCID with the SHP 1.93.0002 hboot. After you do superCID then go back to GB. It's an extra step but something you've already done before.
Regarding Super Wipe, you should be able to download the file from mike1986's tread under Downloads. All it does is wipe and formats data, system and cache in one swoop instead of you manually doing it yourself.

Returning ReZound to verizon

So my ReZound is getting way too hot and there are so many different threads with different opinions.
I just want a straight and bold answer...
Verizon care or not if the phone says Re-Locked?
Will I get in trouble or what?
Why take the chance ? Run the release update , then relock and no way in hell would they know . I returned four phones already and not once have they said any thing

I'm S-Off too. So just run the latest gb ota. Then s-on and relock.
In that particular order or...?
do Not not not not lock with jumper hboot. Run the ruu twice , the official gb one , that will restore your hboot , then relock , easy process will save you potential headaches
ask not what your developer can do for you, ask what you can do for your developer.
Yea all you gotta do is RUU back to GB then your fine you don't need to relock because the RUU does that. You can also leave it S-OFF because some are like that anyways I left the one I sent back S-OFF.
Also you only need to run the RUU once as long as when it's done all the items say "ok" next to them.

so far all of the hboots and ruu are exploited so yes, even with the lates ics leak ( not sure about .13 though , but mine was on the .10 leak ). so s-off , ruu to gb then s-on , I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO ONLY S-ON AFTER YOU PUT BACK THE STOCK H-NOOT

How are we supposed to s-on after running an ruu? Is there another way to do it besides the write secureflag command; I thought stock, locked hboot's don't accept fastboot commands?

it does accept commands, just not all of them, this one does accept the write secure, try it, it never failed me.
If I'm S-On and on the latest ICS RUU, I can't RUU to gingerbread without S-Off, right? Is the safest thing to do to just install a stock gingerbread rom with some sort of patch?
Edited to add: I'm also on the 2.25 Hboot, which I can't S-Off from, right?
As long as your just returning it to Verizon just flash a stock rom or ruu and they won't notice/care. If you ever had to warranty it with htc though I would lock it down and return the whole phone to normal.
Man, this is good news. I have a hardware issue but I thought that being unlocked meant I'm screwed. I'll run the GB RUU to clear any evidence of being unlocked and request my warranty replacement.

I cant unlock the bootloader through htcdev

Hi, I can not at any price, unlock your bootloader ...
You worded this kinda weird..
But you can certainly send me your phone along with some money and I'll send it back unlocked.
You said any price right?

Or at least S-OFF anyway.
Some users aren't able to use the htcdev unlock that have had the mainboard in their phones replaced, but now that unknownforce has his universal recovery tool (URT) available for both the CDMA and GSM models of the Evo 3D he can go straight to S-OFF without needing to unlock. And there is a zip file available that will unlock the bootloader once S-OFF, but there is really no need to do that, unless someone is paying you $2K to do it. :laugh:

No, it is legal to unlock any phones bought before the law came into effect.
Phone can be legally unlocked with a code from the carrier. T-Mobile, for instance, gave me a SIM unlock code 90 days after starting the contract.
It's unlocking without carrier approval, for phones that are subsidized by the carrier (and not yet paid off), that is now illegal IIRC.

No, I'm pretty sure that any phone purchased before the law came into effect can be unlocked by any means. Under the new law, only the carrier can unlock a phone. And they cannot be unlocked by other means even after the subsidized price is completed (off contract). At least that is the reports I saw on the Internet. I have not read the law itself.

Does Sunshine say it can do a carrier unlock? Because last I checked Sprint is CDMA, not GSM...
"Sprint SIM unlock features are considered experimental." If the M9 is like my other HTC phones, the command to s-on is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" Note: this will brick a device that has any oddities that require s-off like mismatching aboot to firmware, etc. In other words, be sure you are full stock before running the command.

So you want a SIM unlock? Sunshine is the only method and per the Devs of it, it isn't guaranteed. "SIM unlock for sprint M9 is considered experimental."
Edit: only other way is to call Sprint and have them unlock the SIM. If it's not subsidized, they should have no issues unlocking the SIM.

Worked for me. Then again, I bought my HTC M9 outright from Sprint...
Edit: here is the stipulation on unlocking. Yes, the M9 is capable per this link. Please don't say carrier unlock doesn't work if they state it does and some of us had it happen quite easily...
