[Q] HTC One X+ - HTC One X+

Hello.
I have registered to this forum to try to find a solution for my problem. I've received HTC One X+ as a gift, but it's sim locked to AT&T. I'm not US resident so I can't use them as a carrier. Yesterday I've called them and they told me that they don't have a code for that particular device. I'm asking for help not, because I haven't found ways. I'm asking for help because since AT&T says that they don't have a code, will the guys from sites that I'll pay to have a code. And does anyone knows free working method for sim unlocking?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards, TwinDewey

Thanks very much for the help. Today I purchased a code, but when I re-inserted the sim card, it didn't ask for it. I can use the phone as a normal device, but I still have AT&T branding (not sure if the code would've helped with that) and also unused code... This is really strange to me, since last week it asked for an unlocking code and now it isn't. I'm talking about same sim card... Is there a way to enter the code that I got or it's useless now?

If your att phone is already working on t mobile then your code worked and your phone is SIM unlocked

Again, thanks for the help. And one more question (sorry about it, I am very new in this). Is there a way to "debrand"it and get clean HTC android with Sense skin? I know many of you don't like it, but at the moment I like it very much, even though I haven't tried anything else

What do you mean debrand it? It already come with HTC sense, no need to install anything.

Well, I don't know how big is Android 4.1.1, but when I got it out of the box it was with 11GB taken memory. There is some bloatware from AT&T and also an AT&T splash screen (with which I can live) Also (I don't have idea if this is something) if there is update for HOX+ from 4.1.1 at the moment I'm connected to AT&T servers and I have to wait for them to release it. I'm not US citizen (don't know if it matters) but I wish if there is a way to find some other way to get official android update for my device.

Root and uninstall all the bloatware. I would go install a better Rom if I were you. AT&T type things are completely removed then. May I suggest Blackout Mongoose.

[Q] HTC Hero Orange Uk unlocking

Hello I have an HTC Hero on Orange UK and it is locked to Orange. I'm trying to get it to get it unlocked so that I can give it to my brother who is on T Mobile UK.
At first I though it would be as simple as loading a new ROM but after rooting it and installing both Villian and a Taiwanese ROM I still couldn't use the T Mobile SIM.
I am aware that the unlocking codes could be brought from Orange but I was wondering if there was a way of unlocking it with out purchasing the unlocking codes.
I have had a look online and on here for various methods but i couldn't find anything of any use. I am aware that this may not be the first time this has been asked so if you have any solutions please link me or explain...
Finally I am pretty tech able am able to do most things.
cheers
Tim
Short answer: Pay for a code
Long answer: Don't pay orange £20 for a code, go look on eBay for one. Mine cost £6.99.
Also, this does not belong in "Android development"
hey man, there is no other way then buying 6-7 pounds.. so, save your time by stop searching free sim unlock
timothy,
Orange and T-Mobile are now the same company (can't remember who bought who) so your brother should be able to use the hero straight away.
If it doesn't work then Orange should now unlock it to T-Mobile without question, considering that they are one and the same.

Please disregard this misinformed statement!
Orange and T-Mobile merged, neither bought either, and their "parent company" Everything Everywhere (lame name) was created.
They do network share, so customers can opt in to use the masts from the other network, but by no means are they the same network now.
The brands are due to remain seperate, and lets be fair
1) why would they believe that it was going to be on T-Mob, surely if they'd unlock for free without question everyone would just say that
2) they're wanting to make £25 quid out of you, and they will do for as long as its legally possible.
Once again, short answer: buy a code on ebay.
Buy a code off ebay then you have to downgrade your rom to an early modaco one cant remember which one i used , enter the code to unlock it then reflash an up to date rom.
Thats the only way to unlock a orange hero just had to do 3 off emm mate.
thanks for all suggestions i feel i will have to buy the codes cheers anyway

one last thing who do you buy them from on ebay (seller name/link) and is it always for htc hero on orange
Is Modaco 2.9 ROM still the only method to unlock Orange UK? Currently running RCMix and rooted. Better still, how one did recently.
Cheers.
Yes think it was that one mate... it was one of the very early modaco custom roms anyway.
don't worry,use this which give different countries and provider,with unlocking code of reliable cost.
you can use that & unlock mobile mobile to T mobile .

HTC Legend - Sim Free

Hello,
first i want to apologize for bad English.
So, i have htc legend that can see just Celcom sim.
And i want to put in it an Orange - IL Sim Card.
When i tried to do that, it asked for code that i don't have.
I want to do Sim Free to my HTC LEGEND, without going to the service center.
Bottom line:
So any one have any software or really good site that could unlock my HTC Legend?
Thank you
I've a similar question.
Had unlocked the booloader at HTC Dev of the to Legend from Virgin carrier, CA. This device cames SIM locked. My brother never noticed.
I know it's a little odd asking help on this, but I don't think he should pay, even US$ 9,99 for a computer generated code, to use as he wants a device he bought, payed and is using it (and paying carrier bills) for more than a year.
Sincerally, I want help to prevents puting one cent on this, and get rid of this unlock network sim code.
Regards,
BTW - Samsung guys did the trick, there's an app at Google Play for unlocking it, it's free, legal and, in my thoughts, honest!
I just tried Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock (it took like three hours) and no dice.
Could you be more specific?
Your post seems a little odd; you start by saying you have this question too, and then give half an answer, implying you have the whole answer. What gives?
Ha, I can't believe it!
I just googled 'sim unlock' and spied a link to the network it's locked to (which I only knew because the old SIM was included), and it led to this page: http://www.three.com.au/cs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=3CA/Page/3CAStatic&cid=1236150837988
It was free! Sweet!
Wow, nice. I paid $15 CAD for mine, but with no regrets. One of the greatest investments I've ever made on this phone and it was completely worth it.

I got the phone off my cousin; I guess she got her new phone on a plan under the same account.
Pretty sweet of the telco to have a page for SIM unlocking that's potentially free, though
I am not sure but i think in custom roms there are no sim lock. Correct me if I am wrong.

You're wrong. Custom ROMs don't SIM unlock the device.

[Q] not available unlock code for TELUS HTC ONE X+

Hello everyone,
So far I have tried the following to get an unlock code. But no luck so far. They are saying it's not available yet. I am new to android and I got the phone from Telus last week. I need help!
http://www.htcimeiunlock.com
www.cellunlocker.net
ebay item 221163388906
Phone: HTC ONE X+
Carrier: TELUS
Country: CANADA
Also, please point me to another option like rooting my phone or something? or any other unlock sites.
Thanks
Whats up with the official site ?
htcdev ?
I have been reading this forum all afternoon and I haven't found a guide to root and unlock my telus HTC ONE X+. Is there a guide by hanson2000? Also there seems to be an issue with battery % showing 66%. Is that right? Some direction will be really helpful.

Last I had heard you could not unlock this phone. There is a rumor that hanson2000 can do it but for a price. The battery showing 66% is a known issue in recover.
*edit* I assume you are talking about carrier unlock and not the bootloader as it sounds like you have TWRP installed already.
The Telus HOX+ can be rooted and the bootloader can be unlocked, this will allow you to flash a custom recovery and rom. The Telus and ATT versions are identical with minor cosmetic differences so most, if not all things for ATT should work for the Telus version. If you want to unlock the bootloader to root and flash custom roms use hansons toolkit to unlock your bootloader then flash the ATT version of TWRP (all others will muck your phone up). The 66% issue your talking about is that the TWRP recovery always shows 66% battery left so just be aware of your battery life when your using it as i think it is also connected to an issue with it not being able to charge or something, just don't be dumb and try to flash stuff with 15% battery...
As far as SIM unlocks go for Telus, I've read that it can be done. Your best bet for this would be searching through the forums for someone who has done it or contacting hanson as he can possibly find you and unlock code.
I flashed the intl version on my phone and it screwed it up. (silly Americans Canada isn't part of America lol)
I ended up flashing a custom rom after fixing my problems. I didn't want custom but I'm stuck with it now as there are no ruus for us. Anyways I'm using elegancia on Telus with no problems.

ok. GOOD NEWS. i finally got an unlock code. I have been trying many sites. I was desperate.
This seem to worked: http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/htc/HTC-One-X-plus-network-unlocking/
Thanks to unlock.canadagsm.ca for providing me unlock code and it worked.
Good news for you. Mine on AT&T can still not currently be sim unlocked. Tried mobilunlocked.co.uk and cellunlocker.net and neither could do it. Sent a pm to hansoon and got no reply so either he can't do it or just isn't interested. Either way, looks like I'm stuck for the time being -_-

not sure about AT&T but someone must have the codes. I had to keep trying. I spent about $80 but i got refund for those who couldn't provided me an unlock code. Total cost was $29. But it's so worth it. I was getting very worried.

Well, I'm not an AT&T customer so that won't work for me. I did, however, have the nice fellow I bought it from contact AT&T and, according to him, they told him they wouldn't give him the code until his contract expired 0_o. Not sure if that's true or if he was pulling my leg, but either way, I'm not able to get the code from them as a non-customer.

Yeah, I'm still trying to find someone who has a good code. I tried another place just this morning and am currently waiting to see if it's in their database. I know it will turn up eventually, it's just the waiting game that's killing me heh.

I signed into my at&t account, went to my phone/device, manage my phone/device and the option for unblocking sim card is there. gives me a 8 digit PUK code.
I've been a (very good) customer for years. I do international travel a few times a year.
I've bought around 120$ worth of unlocking codes, none was able to do it except unlock canada gsm. I highly recommand them. It took 3days, but it came in.

Thank you. Apparently I am eligible to. I recommend every at&t customer check this. Assuming you already have another carriers SIM (I do not just considering selling the phone).
Much thanks! Glad I happened to see this today. I was able to get the PUK code for my HTC One X+ too.
I'm on a family plan w/ 3 people including myself and we've been with AT&T for a long time.
Wasn't really expecting to find it, since I've never travelled out of the country and we've never requested an unlock code before, but, sure enough, it was there.
So thanks for this info! My sister is living in London so this will come in very handy when I go to visit her.
I can't actually unlock the phone without putting a non-ATT Sim card in there can I?
I copied the info down regardless, in case they change their mind or something.

Yes...you will need another sim to use the code.
I realize this is extremely unlikely, but could an AT&T customer enter the IMEI number from a Telus version of the phone, in the AT&T unlock page and get an unlock code? Or is it only for the specific handset a specific customer bought through AT&T?
I just thought perhaps the system accesses a data base and can lookup the unlock code for any IMEI number.

[Q] Network locked

Last few days I've been reading and searching the forum up and down, to find some useful info about how to bypass network lock.... so far I'm even more confused than I was before.
The problem: my phone is locked to specific network and doesn't work with sim card from another provider. Is it possible to unlock it so I can use it on other networks?
Is it solvable? Does rooting help?
I've read a few threads about s-off, is that the thing I need ?
Thanks to the guys willing to help.
This might help?

Usually you can call your network provider and get an unlock code. Root and s off not related. S off not possible at the moment anyways.

They don't want to help me, because they want to force me to use their network sim while im out of my county, but roaming is way too expensive and cant afford it atm
Just ask around your area where you live and you'll find someone to sim unlock your phone (if not then try local market) or you could even buy the unlock code and do it yourself
Sent from my HTC Desire X using Tapatalk 2
guys, buying code is probably the last thing I'll do...
First of all I'm new in android but I'm curious more than enough, and I want to learn things... It would be great if senior or more experienced members share their thoughts on what's right and what's wrong and eventually save me a lot of time and nerves. It's funny how there are so few threads about unlocking network ? Perhaps because it's the fastest way to make good money for some ppl ?
I do have experience in maintenance of Linux systems, but I have no previous experience in rooting/unlocking or what so ever related to smart phones.
So ..... It would be great if any senior/experienced members shared their knowledge/experience on this subject (how to unlock phone so it can be used on different providers.)
As far as I can see Hasoon2000 AIO kit makes rooting as simple as it can get.... but will that remove network lock? I don't need to install any other access privileged apps, demanding games.....
ahhhhmmm..... :

I think someone unlocked successfully using unlock-now.net

You can get the S58Data cleared via JTAG, that means your phone should be sim/network unlocked.
But you have to find some shop/person to have such a JTAG box...

btw. For all sin souls who bought phone from !!! carrier - VIP country - Macedonia !!!, avoid buying codes online, they are wrong, VIP operator has replaced original HTC codes with their own codes, which you can't have (they won't give them to you) ....
Thanks to all other guys for suggestions.
Glad you got it sorted out
Thanks for getting back to us, will help others. Network operators getting a bit uppity these days.

[Q] Unlocking T-Mobile HTC One

Today i've recieved a T-Mobile HTC One phone bought from US. I live in israel./
Got few questions, any answer be greatly appreciated.
1. I've made inquiry to T-Mobile, and they told me once i give them info about the phone they'll unlock it for me either in 48 hours or more if IMEI isn't in their databse yet. I've yet to give them that info because i fear the phone might be stolen. I've recieved it from my brother and i et the impression it was bought from the company itself but ..his unavailable to inquire for few days.
Any way to confirm legality of the phone? All i can see is T-Mobile app installed on HTC, and two messeges, one saying "Welcome ...etc...etc.." and other that the sim has been activiated.
2. If i do give them IMEI can they block me permamently and thus no matter where i et the code the HTC is blocked?
3. Any proven third-party sellers who could unlock me the phone?
I'd rather go for legal way if possible, and i know the phone costed about 700dollar so i assume its real price, but you guys let me know what's the best way to approach it.
If you don't mind spending just $3.50, use the link I'm posting below. I used it last night on my T-Mobile HTC One and got an unlock code in ten minutes.

Try myhtcunlock.com. Same to me before i try many web the said because my HTC One T-Mobile is new that why they don't have the code try again after 1-2 months, i give a last try go to myhtcunlock.com and they sent me the unlock code work perfectly at the first time, but i have to wait 6-12hrs to receive the code and cost me $35.00 but i am ok with it as long as the they have the code and it worked. I don't know about your IMEI but give it try.
