I recently converted by AT&T version to a Google Edition via S-OFF, CID change and Google 4.4 RUU.
AT&T has tried to issue me unlock codes twice, but neither works. I'm using an old t-mobile SIM to attempt the unlock.
Does anyone know if maybe updating the CID impacts the ability to use a carrier unlock code?

Install a stock at&t ROM and try again. In multiple threads it has been said that the at&t unlock code only works on stock roms

Hey,
I need some help, I want to unlock my AT&T HTC One. I already have the unlock code with me.
But Right now I am on a custom ROM, GPE 4.3. I was inquisitive of two things:
1. If I can unlock my phone from the network while being on Custom ROM?
2. Can I unlock it using an international SIM, which is not working since the roaming is disabled.
To add to the first point, if I can how do I do it? And If I cannot think, I know the method to come to stock. But then again, after I come back to stock, how do I unlock the boot loader again and root the device?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Please let me know as soon as possible, I need to travel soon
I had problems SIM unlocking my AT&T HTC One with GPE conversion as well. It wouldn't unlock at all.
I simply just flashed ViperOne rom and tried the unlock it and it worked. I think you can only unlock with a sense rom but I am no developer so I wouldn't know for sure.
All you have to do is put the other SIM card with the sense rom and the option to unlock with an unlock code should come up and work.

This is a known issue that you can only unlock using a sense rom

I know it may be out of context but I have a sim unlocked AT&T HTC One, so if I'm going to unlock bootloader, root and flash a custom ROM then are there chances that my phone will be SIM Locked again ?

Someone offered me an E970 bought from AT&T and he says it is unlocked.
Does it mean someone unlocked it ? it is permanently unlocked then ? or do I need to obtain some PIN to unlock it
again when a software update is done ?

If its unlocked it can work with any GSM network provider no need to obtain PIN to unlock it. It will stay unlocked even after updating.
And you want to clarify whether he is referring to carrier unlocked or bootloader unlocked. Big difference.

I am trying to perform a carrier unlock on my AT&T HTC One so I can use it overseas while I am travelling. I have contacted AT&T and am waiting for an unlock code. In the mean time, I understand I need to be on a stock ROM for the unlock code to work. I have the ROM downloading, but am curious if I need to return the phone completely to stock. My phone is rooted and S-Off - do I need to reverse both of these conditions? I'm also wondering if I need to be on a stock recovery or not.
Thanks!
Josh
It appears that AT&T will not provide an unlock code unless you are out of contract, so it's pointless after all.

I was able to obtain an unlock code from option 5 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242473
Loaded a stock ROM, but kept the bootloader unlocked and my custom recovery. Unlock code worked just fine.
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?
