Ok so I sold my HTC One to a friend they then went and bought a unlock code and it didn't seem to work, so then they bought another one and it didn't work either. I had rooted it and installed the Trickdroid 11 rom for HTC One with the AT&T option so would this be the cause?
If so how do I get it back to a stock rom that will work for their unlock?
Thanks!

you will have to flash back to stock for the unlock code to work. I dont understand why, but that is how it is. I had a custom rom as well and the unlock code that was provided by AT&T itself did not work, once i flashed back to stock using the RUU, the code worked as designed.
go to factory stock , i had the same issue when at&t gave me the unlock code , it didn't work while i was on custom rom , then my dumb a** actually thought it was the wrong code and got one on ebay, turned out to be the same code ....so i followed directions and went to stock , and viola Unlocked...
Does the phone stay unlocked if you flash back to a custom rom afterwards?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to say that I was successful in rooting my htc one for tmobile and installing a custom recovery. I used the tool found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Just wanted to spread the news in case you were wondering if it was possible.
I hope there is a way to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I just want root.

pretty sure you can unlock the bootloader straight up on the HTC dev site.

Yeah thats what I did. I also followed the tutorial in the android development forum.
Edit: I'm gonna go for the M7 version because it says M7 in the bootloader. Wish me luck!
Yeah I'm wondering that too, do we use the M7 version or the ATT one? I'm assuming the M7 because the Tmo version is no different than the international version.
I used the m7 version last night. Worked great. Note sitting on the stock firmware with cwm touch and root. Needed to get rid of all the junk apps

Just want root access, not the custom recovery/ROMs
I'd like to have root access to my HTC One, so that I can use Titanium Backup. That's really the only reason I rooted my Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (for that, I used SuperOneClick).
I found this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
How do I use this program to maintain the stock recovery and just grant root access?
Is it possible to do the following?:
1- follow the prerequisites in the "To root the phone. Follow in order" and click Go.
2- Skip "Next, flash a recovery."
3- Flash Kernal
4- Run "Perm Root"
Will that work? If not, what do I need to do to get what I want?
I'm not interested in custom ROMs and I don't want to worry about screwing something up. I use wifi calling, and it's important that I have it.
I have CM 10.1 installed and bought a unlock code off eBay and tried entering in the code and it said unlock was unsuccessful or something along those lines..
Will the unlock work while on a custom ROM? The person on eBay that I bought it off sent me the code via email so I assume if they send you the unlock code its the right one and if they couldn't get the right code then they just don't send you one I assume ?

Same problem here. My code wouldn't work on CM, so I flashed a stock based rom and the unlock code worked fine.

So if I flash stock ROM and unlock it will the unlock stick if I go back to CM?
I wonder if once the Google edition ROM gets pushed out and I flash that if the unlock will work on that?
Have a link to the stock ROM though?

Yes, unlock will persist. Check the development section, plenty of stock ROMs to choose from there. Just do a nandroid of CM then restore it after unlock.

I have got unlock code from ATT to unlock my device to use the phone out side ATT network. Right now I am on lollipop ROM and when I insert a different sim and enter the code it says cannot unlock.
Do I need to be on stock rom to use the unlock code?
TIA.

Yes, you need to unlock the device with the stock rom installed.

I don't know your particular setup but if you are on AT&T then use clsA's Stock Rom Reset.

I had ARHD downloaded on my phone, so installed it and successfully unlocked my phone. So root doesnt matter for applying unlock code.
Thanks for guiding me correctly..

A little bit late to all this I just got the M7 . I did not think to unlock before flashing and rooting. So in order to unlock the carrier restriction I have to be back on stock and then enter the code that AT&T gives me?
