Hi every one,
I'm new to android and htc one is my first android phone. I bought htc one at&t from a guy who said he had inserted sim code unlock to the phone to convert to international one. Now i can use my carrier on the phone but i am wondering if my phone will become locked again and under what circumstance or actions? Thanks

Once you sim-unlock your phone it will not re-lock.

You must either
(1) call AT&T and request the unlock code for your phone. This is free but they usually only do it when you have had the phone for a certain amount of time, and even then sometimes they will still refuse.
or
(2) pay a small amount on eBay or another site that sells unlock codes for the HTC Aria. This usually is quick and painless, but not free.
Being rooted doesn't help you with the SIM lock unfortunately.
thank you for your help, unfortunately i didn't use at&t, i'll go with option 2
Can't unlock for free?
Why is it that there is an app I used to get the unlock code for FREE on a Samsung Captivate, but, there isn't something like that for the Aria, let alone any other phone? I'd like to unlock my Aria and sell it on ebay because I have no further use for it now that I am with Sprint.
That's actually a mistake made by Samsung with the Captivate. They unintentionally placed the unlock code for each phone in the phone memory where anyone can access it if they know to look for it. HTC did not make the same mistake with the Aria, so no easy-to-obtain unlock codes for it.
Where do you recommend buy the carrier unlock code for my new AT&T htc one x plus ?
I would like to try first with the original AT&T rom with my carrier, and then try another rom
Is there any way that i can unlock this phone to use with Telcel in mexico without buying with someone the carrier unlock code ?
Its now illegal to unlock phones without carrier permission

It is possible to root and load a custom rom without the unlock code ?, once i load the new custom rom the phone will be carrier unlocked ?
Carrier lock has nothing to do with roms.
based on your operator

I do not know in which country you are now but in the U.S. for a few days is illegal without ahutorizacion unlock operator. If you're not in the U.S. you can use cellunlock.net, I use last month from Argentina and in three hours they sent me the unlock code.
The wording on the new law is strange. It has been interpreted that the phone can still be unlocked if purchased prior to the law going into effect.
Some time ago about a year or two you are able to call up at&t and tell them that you would like to use the phone in Mexico and they would be able to give you an unlock code. I don't know if that is still okay but I would phone them up and tell them that you would like to use the phone in Mexico. I don't know if that method still works.

If you have account for more than 6 months and haven't had any unpaid or late payment then 9 times out of ten they will give you the unlock code

1. No, since its now illegal to unlock phones here in the U.S without carrier permission there won't be free unlocks anymore I assume
2. Buy it and find out

lock code is available, but I am wondering if att can tell I ulocked when I get back from my trip to mexico?
suppose any ramifications now that there is this new 'law'?
can they tell? do they care as long as I pay my bill/keep my contract?
Can they tell and will they report you seem to be the questions on everyone's mind right now. My guess is that if they tried to, then yes, they could probably tell. Chances are high, however, that unless there will be some direct ramifications for them, then they won't care. But of course no one knows for sure at this point.
All,
I have a T-mobile HTC One that is locked to T-mobile and was wondering if it would be worth my time and effort to get it Sim unlocked and stay with T-mobile for the purpose of maybe getting the Android 4.4 Kit-Kat update sooner? I read that HTC USA is bringing it out "within 90 days" for all HTC Ones, but the Google Play edition within two weeks and the "unlocked" and developer editions within 30 days. I know I'm being impatient but I am looking forward to the new functions and am hoping that it fixes the horrible battery drain that I have noticed since the 4.3 update.
The phone is paid for and I have already called and am eligible to get the unlock code....
One of my questions is how to unlock it without a "foreign" sim? Can I just by a net talk or other phone company sim and unlock it then just pop the T-mobile sim back in? And if so would that qualify the phone as "unlocked" to get the update that much sooner? Also, would that cause me any issues with T-mobile's network? I know I could use one of the many fine roms here but my hacking skills are nil and I would prefer the factory update, I would rather not put my non existent skills to the test.
Please any and all help would be greatly appreciated! :highfive:
Thanks for looking!
Getting your phone sim unlocked will not help you get the htc update faster,so if that's the only reason you need it unlocked do not waste your money on that.Probably will be a custom firmware available for your phone and can use that if can not wait for the official release from your carrier,but that may damage your waranty
So that wouldn't qualify it as an "unlocked version"?

even if you unlock it by an unlock code when updating using the built in update feature,will update to the tmobile rom,the "unlocked version" is the never locked version,that came unlocked with unbranded rom

How can I unlock the phone?
I don't want to pay for a company to send me a code.
I notice there are no ROMs available anywhere for this phone, i'm only asking as I got this as an upgrade phone but I bought a HTC One M8 last year when in my contract, its on EE but I want to give the 610 to my dad who is on Virgin and i'm 99% sure this phone will be locked to EE.
Thanks

usually network operators can give you the PUK code for free, check the EE website or call their customer service

Hello.
My sister got an HTC Desire 610 yesterday with Vodafone contract,but it is locked ( cant use other sim than vodafone sim). To unlock it at Vodafone need 50 Euro.I can unlock it somewhere else cheaper, but i want to do it free.
So, is there any way to unlock it ?
Thank you.
I recently bought this amazing phone on ebay(H901), and I'm trying to sim unlock it, the phone is not blacklisted, or financed, but It cannot be unlocked since its not in T-mobile database(even when it is branded tmobile phone with all the tmobile bloated apps), since T-mobile or LG cannot unlock it I was looking for a Root-unlocking solution for this since I dont want to start the process of returning the phone at this time of the year and I already paid for my country customs fees to get the phone here.
Is there any way to sim unlock the LG h901 using root mods? may rooting and deleting t-mobile unlock device app do the job?
Thanks, I will appreciate your answers
Do you have some Solution??

No I haven't find a solution to it, I'm currently living in Japan, and I'm using this piece of art as a media player only because I can't get it unlocked online nor a tmobile sim card to use it.
