If you are a current AT&T account holder, just go through their website to get the SIM unlock code from free.
One alternative, you can s-off and use the method posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708572
Although with sunshine being the only current working s-off method, and costing $25; if this is your only reason for s-off, it might not be worth the cost versus other methods.

Dear Hasoon,

No, it is legal to unlock any phones bought before the law came into effect.
Phone can be legally unlocked with a code from the carrier. T-Mobile, for instance, gave me a SIM unlock code 90 days after starting the contract.
It's unlocking without carrier approval, for phones that are subsidized by the carrier (and not yet paid off), that is now illegal IIRC.

No, I'm pretty sure that any phone purchased before the law came into effect can be unlocked by any means. Under the new law, only the carrier can unlock a phone. And they cannot be unlocked by other means even after the subsidized price is completed (off contract). At least that is the reports I saw on the Internet. I have not read the law itself.

If you have hboot 2.49 I believe the only way to achieve s-off is to use 'Sunshine' which costs $25. Firewater servers are closed so you can't use that anymore.
woowwww that bad, am a foreigner and live outside the United States and get 25 dollars is very difficult, is there any way to do it for free?

Flyhalf can you help?
Hi Flyhalf205.I am writing to you because recently i found that my Htc One Max needs to be returned to warranty but the phone is rooted with a custom rom.The problem is that i need to remove the tampered and unlocked flags also to return it completely stock so i can return it to warranty.Yesterday i started researching how to remove these flags but i found that my phone is S-ON and it must be S-OFF to start with the process.There is a rumrunner.us site where i can S-OFF my phone (downloaded the Universal Version rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0.zip) it says to me that i need to update the program otherwise i wont be able to S-OFF my phone and remove the Tampered,Unlocked flags.Can you please write down a message to me where u have explained how to proceed....If you also have some toolkit that could help me i will be thankful.
So after doing some searching is Sunshine the only S-off method available right now for the ATT M9 phone?
I believe sunshine works with all variants. all you have to do is download the apk and it will run some tests and tell you if it can s-off before you even purchase it. its a pretty much fool proof. if not it will tell you what you need to do to get it ready for s-off. and from what i see the only one it doestn work for is verizon
just go HERE to download the apk, install and let it tell you one way or the other

Yes you are right. No free method for this device. Also you need to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP,root before and then Sunshine.
Good luck
Or find one of the many people like me with a Java card and never deal with htcdev and warranty to begin with. There's quite a few cards out there now and I have met up with plenty of xda people now to do s-off and unlock for them.
Hmmm... Happen to know anyone around Austin, Tx with such a card?
I am so lost. I rooted my Rezound about 3 years ago and flashed ROMs on it pretty often, but now I don't even know where to start on my One max. Got as far as getting my identifier token from HTCdev, but Verizon blocked my device.
I know there's a solution called Sunshine that I can pay for, but I'm pretty broke. Is there any other solution?
Please be kind. We were all new once!

Sorry man but the only way to root the verizon max is to pay for sunshine.
I agree with flyhalf205. Sunshine is well worth it and makes it super simple to s-off.
Thanks, guys. I guess I know what I want for Christmas

The forum is filled with topics you can search and find the information you need. The only way to s-off is to use sunshine. http://theroot.ninja/apks/SunShine-latest.apk
After that flash TWRP and backup and flash a custom rom.
On my country has another way must cheaper than 25$ pay for sunshine or java card. I'ts called Xtc Clip 2. With 100$ to buy this box, you can s-off, super Cid unlimit any HTC devices, any Hboot in 2 minutes. So. ..some Repair services shop bought the Clip 2 and open S-off service with the cost 0.50$. Just S-off my Max Hboot 2.49 morning. Love it:fingers-crossed:
(Sorry for my English)

Does Sunshine say it can do a carrier unlock? Because last I checked Sprint is CDMA, not GSM...
"Sprint SIM unlock features are considered experimental." If the M9 is like my other HTC phones, the command to s-on is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" Note: this will brick a device that has any oddities that require s-off like mismatching aboot to firmware, etc. In other words, be sure you are full stock before running the command.

I'm aware that all phones support all of the bands they are just locked...and Sprint last I checked is one that Locks said bands and only "officially" supports CDMA
As I stated earlier, in the sunshine thread, jcase states Sprint carrier unlock is experimental and not guaranteed to work.
yeah i just spoke to them on chat. im going to try to ask for a refund

So you want a SIM unlock? Sunshine is the only method and per the Devs of it, it isn't guaranteed. "SIM unlock for sprint M9 is considered experimental."
Edit: only other way is to call Sprint and have them unlock the SIM. If it's not subsidized, they should have no issues unlocking the SIM.

Worked for me. Then again, I bought my HTC M9 outright from Sprint...
Edit: here is the stipulation on unlocking. Yes, the M9 is capable per this link. Please don't say carrier unlock doesn't work if they state it does and some of us had it happen quite easily...
