Hello,
I just bought an hero and order the code on ebay and I insert a non telus sim card inside and I don t get the unlock menu where you need to enter the code.
the phone runs vilainrom5.5, I guess it is missing in the firmware, is there a way I can do or I need to flash it back to telus rom ?
if yes then where I can find this rom, I did not find it anywhere, google, here, htc website, telus website
thank you very much
That happened to me. Had to revert to a 1.5 ROM.
- Backup your 2.1 ROM
- Flash a 1.5 ROM
- Reboot
- Unlock
- Restore your 2.1 ROM
That's it.
Thread Moved to Q&A.
VillainROM 5.5 is based on a CDMA ROM, so unlocking wouldn't work, since those unlock codes are for GSM phones. I'd bet you could try a 2.1 ROM based on a GSM dump.
before I brick my phone, I am still looking for the original telus 1.5 gsm rom, is there a link someone can send me ? I went on telus website, here, google, htc and did not find the original firmware of telus
Or maybe someone can tell me which gsm rom would allow me to unlock it
phone is sitting in a box as I have a fido card :-(
thank you

Any GSM ROM will do it pal,... Use this,... MCR3.2
I flash with Cronos Droid Version 1.4.1 and still when I put the non provider sim card, It says network locked and no option to enter the unlock code

It is based on a cdma Rom too. Try an old 1.5 one like modaco

I fully converted the TMobile HTC One to Google edition HTC One by changing the Model Id, CID and then flashed google edition firmware. This was a while ago and now I need to sim unlock the phone. I got the unlock code from TMobile but when i try to SIM unlock by inserting an ATT SIM it shows unsuccessful. Do I need to convert back to TMobile firmware in order to SIM unlock?
Anyone SIM unlocked a converted HTC One successfully?

You just need to flash any T-Mobile ROM and then do the sim unlock code .. After that is done you can go back and flash GE firmware.. All you need is the stock sense T-Mobile ROM then go back

I have an att htc one m8 that I rooted and flashed the 5.0.1 lollipop rom and I got a unlock code from theunlockingservice.com and when Ienter the code I recieved it says that it was unsucessful. If anyone would be able to help me would be great.
Thank You
Have to go back to them and let thwm know it is not working.
I'm selling my Sprint Note 3 that I had rooted before the lollipop upgrade. Since then I put a lollipop rom on it.
Two stupid noobie questions that I couldn't find answers to when I searched ..
1. Since I'm rooted am I also unlocked ... can he use an att Sim card and use it on att?
2. Do I need a specific rom that would make this possible ... or is there a way to test it to prove to him that it works?
Thanks for the answers.
Just FYI... There's a difference between unlocked carrier and unlocked boot loader.
You do not need a custom ROM to use another Sim card, but you need to unlock the carrier on the phone

Is there a way to tell if I did a carrier unlock? I don't really even remember what method I used to root it.
You unlock the boot loader to flash a custom rom?
To sim unlock you would have had to run SSU.app or GT.app to international unlock then odined a older radio mj4 or mi3. Then change the APNs to match the carrier's settings for internet and mms messages.
I called sprint and got the master unlock codes ... is there an easy way to unlock it now that I have those?
I received an unlock code from T-Mobile. I tried the unlock code and tried it on an 5.1.1 AOSP ROM and it said the unlock was unsuccessful. Do I need to be on stock firmware to use the unlock code? If so, can someone give me a link to a TWRP flashable stock rom? Will a custom stock based rom like Maverick 5.1.1 work?
