I guess what I meant was can this device he used solely on a GSM network. I may be misunderstanding this thread intent. I was thinking this is about network unlocking from one carrier phone to another.

This is flat out incorrect. Verizon max can be used on all us carriers although there will be radio bands (mainly lte) that will not work on those carriers.

You can use this thread to unlock a sprint Max to work on an international cdma carrier (read: no US).

Sim unlock 'should' unlock the phone for any sim. That means the cdma bands it has should be open for use on international cdma carriers as well. Im obv on Verizon but think it would be useful for international folks to know if it unlocks cdma bands.

To unlock CDMA bands there is a different process which needs specific tools like CDMA work shop or DFS

One of us is confused...
'Sim' unlock allows you to put in a sim from a carrier that is not the phones original carrier and it work. This does not unlock any additional radio bands but uses the existing bands already available on the phone. In the case of Sprint Max it has some cdma bands and some gsm bands in the hardware.
So if you sim unlock the Sprint Max it should allow someone with an international cdma carrier (or gsm carrier) sim to use it.
Please tell us if you understand differently.
Mate u need to be a CDMA programmer to understand that
Do u understand nv mode and ruim mode? Sprint one max is programmed to work on nv mode so to flash to other carriers you need spc code to enable diag mode and do nv programming.
But for gsm u pop in ur sim after this method and start using your gsm sim.
People who understand and have liked my post and made use of it
For u to understand first get into details of CDMA programming.
So Im still not sure we are talking the same thing. This thread is about sim unlocking the Sprint Max so it can be used globally. The fact you say you are sim unlocking it for use on gsm is not technically relevant. It is likely already globally unlocked for use. This method is just to get around asking Sprint to globally sim unlock it. It likely can already technically be used on a lot of international cdma carriers.
Can anyone help me out.????
I am using HTC ONE MAX SPRINT with firewater S-off using Skydragon Sprint ROM.
I replaced the file using file manager as described and changed the file permission and rebooted the device.
Than i opened SIM UNLOCKER application and when i click START, nothing happens. Just stays on the screen..
Could anyone please point out what i am missing which is causing this issue.?????

Thanks fore replying.
However i was able to figure about the issue myself.
The reason why SimUnlockerHelper was not going past the START button screen was that the below SETTING was turned off in Settings menu of the Phone.
Unknown Sources - Allow installation of apps from unknown sources - UNCHECKED
Probably this might be the reason for some of them who reported saying that nothing would happen after clicking on START button on SimUnlockerHelper application

I am trying to unroot my htc amaze from telus canada. I have followed the instructions using the all-in-one kit, and when I went to relock my bootloader, I got stuck in the fastboot screen, and when I tried to reboot, it kept getting me back to the same screen. I was able to unlock the bootloader again, and now when I try to access wi-fi, it says error under the wi-fi button in settings!
how do I fix this?

If you have a back up, restore it, but your best call is to download the stock zip file, place it on your sd card root, rename it PH85IMG and boot into the bootloader, should ask you if you wanna update, just say yes and let it restore everything to stock, then relock the bootloader, though locking the bootloader isn't exactly necessary.
Ok, where do I find the stock rom? also, now when I slide the cirle to unlock my phone, a windows pops up saying sorry, HTC Sense has stopped unexpectedly, would you like to tell htc?

Just put it directly on the sd card, not in any folders, rename the file to PH85IMG.
Thanks for all the help. ok, so I have done that, and rebooted into bootloader. It shows a bar at the side that looks like it is installing somehing, or loading, then I reboot back to my phone, and I am still getting the same error.

After the bar loads it just goes back into the phone? No option to install update?
No, there is no option to install. It just goes back to the main fastboot screen. I changed it to a zip file, because it was an exe file, and it didn't see it. The reason I want to unroot is to update to ics!
*frustrated.
If Dark Nightmare gave you an RUU for T-Mobile then it won't work. Be sure its a Telus RUU. Otherwise you need to do a lot more leg work.
Edit...NVM he gave you the right link. Is you phone originally a Telus Phone?
--------------------------------
It's Better To Fail At Originality
Than To Succeed In Imitation.

Lol I pay attention.
The question is, did you try the ICS leak by any chance?
Yes, it's a telus phone. I have not tried the ics yet, but that's what I want to install! Lol is there a link for the leaked ics?
Do you think it might be because I used Debloater and Debloater Remover? (was just following the instructions). no matter what I do, I keep getting that error.
Ok, so, I was able to fix that error that kept popping up!
Couple of quick questions before this one is locked up:
Do I need to re-root my phone, if I followed all those steps in the all in one tool kit?
And
Can someone post a link here on how I can install the latest version of ICS on my phone?
Thanks for all the help!

Unless you S-Off, there's no way you're upgrading to ICS until Telus release their version.
I am also a Telus Amaze user.
In this order, you need to:
1)Unlock your bootloader from HTCdev
2) Use Juopunutbear's S-off hack.
3) Flash the T-mobile RUU
4) Flash the ICS rom
5) Insert your SIM, connect to telus under mobile networks, and enter Telus' APN settings.
Be aware though, I can't seem to get MMS to send properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you remember to supercid before flashing the tmobile rom? And check the apn settings thread for the apn settings just in case they were incorrect, though in my experience the carrier pushes the settings no matter what device you're using.
I did Super-Cid the device. At least, I wrote 11111111 to CID.
APN is also correct, I set it up manually and my data connection and texting work just fine.
Could this be at all related to Telus using HSPA, while the TMOUS rom only has options to select WCDMA or GSM?
Thanks for the info on installing ICS. I think I will do it once we find out how to get mms working.
Don't hold your breath on the T-mobile version. I'm waiting for the Telus OTA so I can rip it apart and figure out what is going on.
In addition, anyone know of any risks for the few of us Telus users that are running the TMOUS rom? It shouldn't detect Telus' OTA, right?
Tmo using HSPA+ as well, the network set ups are practically the same, Try checking your mms settings in the app itself.
Based from patrick92260's post, I'm assuming that he unlocked his ATT Lumia 920 by flashing "RM-821 unbranded euro developer" and made it to work with T-Mo..
Again, I'm also assuming that he used 059R4H6: RM-821 VAR EURO1 DEVELOPER DEVICE BLACK for I haven't gotten any response yet...
Now, while I was downloading the rom above, I noticed a file named NWP8_simlock_3gstandard_bb5_crcA59A.bin
(3G Standard - not sure if HSPA+ is included in this bin file...)
(BB5 - I think it is Baseband 5)
(crcA59A - Not sure what it means, but it looks like a hex code)
Out of curiosity, I looked at the ATT rom.. Viola, there is a file named NWP8_WP8_ATT_US_simlock_crc995C.bin
My theory is that the phone could be unlocked if we flash the file above...
Having said that, anyone brave enough to flash a normal ATT rom with a NWP8_simlock_3gstandard_bb5_crcA59A.bin?
I'm still downloading the files, and I'm still a newb when it comes to flashing WP8 devices..
Flashing another rom will not give you a sim unlock ever. My phone was unlocked via the code I got from ATT.

Trying to root and sim unlock my sprint htc evo design for use on tmobile, ive googled it and found a few articles saying that sprint phones use cdma and not gsm, however this phone has a slot for a sim card. is there any way to use this phone on t-mobile with one of their sims? if so how do i go about it. if this is in the wrong forum my apologies.
thanks in advance
i repeat... this sprint phone has a sim card slot
That sim card slot is for worldwide capabilities. There may be a way to unlock it but you need to look in the correct forum as stated above.
Hit the thanks button!

Hey bud, I just finished creating a flash zip for supersu 1.69 and busybox 1.21.1. Just go to this link "click me - I'm a link" to get the download. Its in the HTC One Sv forum but my girl has the same phone as you because I was the one who gave it to her. Root works and I also provide source code so anyone can see what exactly it is doing before they even decide to use it. All you need to do is download a custom recovery for your phone then go into fastboot and boot the custom recovery using the command
Code:
fastboot boot customrecovery.img
The name of the image will be whatever you name it. I recommend customrecovery.img.
You want to boot it vice flashing so you can do a complete backup of your device. Afterwards, go ahead and flash the customrecovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
The initial backup will even backup and preserve your original stock recovery.img. You need the custom recovery in order to flash the zip from your sdcard.
Anyways, I am familiar with your phone so if you need help just pm me.

Rob!!! You have unlocked the SIM for HTC Evo Design to use on domestic-to-USA GSM? I would LOVE to know more about that. I've looked all over the place. There's another user name lechen that has also been trying to get it to work. Sprint tells me its unlocked but it won't work with domestic GSM. With freedomPop and Boost using this phone there must be a way to get the SIM to work in the USA.
US GSM

Yep. fairly easily yet difficult if you don't have the right equipment. You have to unlock sim [if locked] as previously mentioned and set Carrier ID or CID to 11111111 from SPC___03 [or whatever it is]. With Sprint set as the Carrier ID, they control the provisioning and can restrict GSM to non US carriers; with super CID as it's sometimes called, you are the boss of your phone. Any carrier can provision. Problem lies in that this data [the CID flag] lies in mmcblk07 which is read only memory; so, you have to do some pretty drastic stuff [disassemble phone, short the test point, hook it up to your riffbox, and then write that data]. I unfortunately don't know a way around that. Hope that helps.

QPST can unlock the read only memory "nvm" folder. So could these changes be made there, without requiring the hardware equipment you mentioned Rob? It took new radio software, and Olinex's sim unlock tool just 15 minutes to unlock my Verzion Global HTC touch pro 2 for US gsm use. So there has to be an easier way (or at least a software only way) to do it with this phone.
Can anyone else chime in with ideas?

without supercid, there are things you can try.. no guarantee if they will work or not.
There is a db file on htc roms that holds all the apn information.
One could try editing this db file w/ a sqlite editor. It's at /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db . Now, before you go too crazy, backup that file. Then try adding your AT&T apn info into that db [US carriers have been left out intentionally]. If that keeps [is not rewritten each boot] you should be good to go w/ maybe a minor build.prop tweak. Otherwise, you'll have to get supercid; which, is the route I went. Basically the radio supports gsm & cdma; it's adding the gsm carriers you want [if you can get around Sprint's control] or controlling it yourself [supercid]. Hope that helps.

Rob

WOW!!! "[disassemble phone, short the test point, hook it up to your riffbox, and then write that data]"
That is beyond my skills. I might pay someone to do that since I have no RiffBox.
I see offerings online for a code they claim will unlock the SIM reader for about $20. So, either this is a blatant lie or there is a software way around it?
Anyone in NC or NY wanna do this stuff to my phone?
If someone wants to try this I'm willing to pay also. But I still think there has to be a software-only way to do this.
Rob, I did try editing the files you said, but with no luck. Could we use the old MTTY program to try and gain superCID?
Hello guys,
Here is a method (confirmed working by Me) to SIM Unlock your HTC ONE M8 GSM ONLY NOT FOR SPRINT for other SIM cards for use on other GSM networks.
Before we begin I wish to inform you that I did not create this tool. It is the property of sieempi.
You MUST be S-OFF & have External SD for this to work.
S-OFF METHOD or http://theroot.ninja/ if you can't S-OFF with first method
Usual disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. Use this mod at your own risk.
as pointed by @GSLEON3 you could only do the SuperCid "11111111" described bellow after S-OFF and it will also unlock your device but if for some reason you change back your CID you will lose the unlock the other method unlock the device forever
SUPER CID WILL NOT SIM UNLOCK YOU DEVICE FROM CARRIER
how to SuperCID your device after S-OFF
[NOOBS Guide] HTC ONE SUPERCID method via fastboot
or permanent method
Instructions:
1) Go to this site: http://www.sieempi.eu/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536
2) You'll notice that the HTC ONE M8 is not listed in the supported devices, but the process does work.
3) Supply a valid IMEI and email address on the form on that page and where it says "Phone Type" put HTC ONE M8 , and they will email you a Config.Dat file to put on the root of your EXTERNAL SD card.
4) Reboot into bootloader, select "SIMLock" and it'll apply the config file.
5) Follow the instructions on the phone and reboot when it tells you to. If you get an "OpenCID File Fail" error, this is normal, proceed anyway!
6) Once you've rebooted, your HTC One M8 should be fully SIM Unlocked!
7) Put in a foreign SIM card and test it out
8) for Sprint M8 devices only Thanks to @pisang_azafor pointing and @nikme for the original thread follow this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682242

Confirmed as working. Did S-off in my ATT HTC one and now I Can finally use my Tmobile Sim card. It takes about 3-4 mins to pick up signal first time. Be patient

did you only did the S-OFF only and put another sim card or you did the whole process?
I don't have a T-Mobile sim on hand that's in service right now. Does anyone know if the One requires any Band unlocking as the AT&T S4 did? Or are the AWS bands unlocked by default?

This morning I went out to buy one outright at the AT&T store since I don't have service with them and none of the four stores around me would want to sell it to me , they all said they have it in stock but they not allow to sell it before June 11. What an a**h*** AT&T are lucky I don't have service with them.

i do understand your situation but unfortunately they are not allowed to sell the phones until april 11 (not june 11) as part of an agreement HTC made with verizon it is not their fault as an option you can buy it online from them and get it in 1 or 2 days without contract
I am s- off on ARHD ART 4.0, and when I follow the instructions it states all failed.
I assume it didn't work, right?
Thanks for any help.

According to the OP it's normal, I got that as well but have not tested it yet.
If you put it in the external sd card it should work always as far as it been recognized by the bootloader

Thanks for the tip, this time it's says imei passed. Sweet......

IMEI passed here as well. Quite painless for an unlock process.
For this to work I must have an external micro sd card installed?

Is it to hard to read the OP? Yes, you need to put the config.dat file in EXTERNAL SD

How to check If my device is Sprint unlocked or OEM
I Is there a way for me to check if the device is SPRINT unlocked or OEM unlocked ?
I was able to stump/Bump and install other roms and I am currently using GSM Network on this Sprint version of LG.
Also looking 2know this...
How can I check if my Sprint LS990 is Sprint unlocked or OEM.
Guess if i can't access Bump screen (when device is off - holding Vol' Down+Power....when i see LG logo releasing power and immediately hold again) i am just NOT Bumped(=unlocked)?
Thanks!

Carrier unlocking and bump are 2 totally separate things. Bump referred to here, as unlocked, means you have twrp recovery, for flashing custom roms and backups. Carrier unlock means sim card port has been unlocked for use on any gsm network.

I really didnt knew that,
I do have a TWRP installed....which means it the same but different method.
I use my Sprint G3's out of u.s on a GSM/LTE network.
But i also interested to know if Sprint made them own unlock (with code...) or they did made an OEM unlock as they told,
Thanks for your help!

I dont need them...as for my understanding, if i have a TWRP it means my Bootloader is unlocked.
I think i mixed between two things:
1) Unlock to any Network by a code from Sprint to n oem by manufacturer.
2) Unlock Bootloader to install rom.
So if i can use a GSM network outside u.s = Phone is unlocked.
If i have a Recovery = Bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks!

Correct, to my understanding boot loader is not really unlocked, just "bumped".

So Sim unlock (by any carrier) & oem unlock completly are the same by all matter?
Thanks again!

so when u unlock you manually enter the apn of the desired gsm network. how does it work in case of roaming where it might have to switch to other gsm networks?
would switching to other networks be automatic or needs to be manually keyed in.

If you are on cloudy rom you dint have to worry about all these because his base rom is international it autoco figures the apn settings and selects the best network.
