Hi all, I'm a long time member here at XDA. First time posting here in the Sprint M9 forums .
Anyway, I have found a possible way to SIM UNLOCK our Sprint M9's.
Thanks to @jbfountain from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60927525&postcount=29 for the idea. Thanks for the pic too.

Pretty much Simlock tool is looking for config.dat which you can get from here https://www.sieempi.ro/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536 thanks to sieempi
Which I tried and did not work for me , but as above it says 'Failed to ENABLE simlock'.... so that is confusing, is Sprint not SIMLOCKED? I sure can't us my New Zealand sim on it...
If you use a 'dummy' config.dat it will fail and not try to read it and it will say invalid imei in the logcat.
As for the 'device info tool' when you load the files, i.e cid.txt, imei.txt (DO NOT DO THIS IT IS MOST LIKELY ILLEGAL IN YOU COUNTRY) and sf.txt (not sure what this is) it loads and changed the values.
These are loaded onto the EXTERNAL SD Card as seen above '/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/'
For example cid.txt would ONLY contain
SPCS_001
Nothing else would be in the file. Likewise for IMEI and I assume for sf (any idea what SF is??)
This is not really anything new as CID can be changed in download mode using 'fastboot oem writecid SPCS_001'.
Likewise with that other thing that can be changed but shouldn't DO NOT DO THIS IT IS MOST LIKELY ILLEGAL IN YOU COUNTRY
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Just some food for thought here guys
Really need to get this sim unlocked, so I can make sure it goes before messing around with enabling bands through QPST.

I have the T-Mobile variant, and doesn't Sprint only use their sim card for LTE? I believe that I read somewhere that the only thing that the Sprint variants can use the sim card slot for is to get 3g gsm for traveling overseas. It won't even work on US gsm networks, so I don't think that you can use the sim slot to unlock a Sprint phone. I know that if you tell them that you are going to be traveling abroad they will give you the unlock code for that purpose. Also did you try to get a config.dat file from Seempi? I know that on the gsm phones you have to get that file, and put it on your external sd card. Then you would use the simlock tool.
Hmmm. I read that it can be used internationaly too, when unlocked by Sprint. So thought there might be some other way. Might have to wait for another method like the m7 and m8 had. Tried the Config.Dat above and it said, failed to enable SIM lock. Which makes me think it is unlocked but Sprint is blocking the SIM on the software side.
I have tried Bad Boys Rom and Viper One also.
On the plus side, I believe I have added the band's requires to get it to work over here.
Guess I'll just wait and get another one in the meantime.
Thanks again
Anyone having luck with this? I get my ATT M9 next week, so I will be able to test myself Does not work for my Sprint M9 though

hi, i have a sprint htc m9 and i too im trying to get it unlocked. i have read all the threads on the htc m9 but i have some questions:
must my m9 be S-Off to access FTM mode?
i have been trying but i am not getting into that mode. is there a way to do so from adb or an app? i read on the sprint forum to keep pressing volume up and power buttons until you get the FTM screen but that did not happen as the phone kept powering on and off.
when i try holding the buttons for 7 seconds nothing happens.
can you clarify the S-OFF and the process to access FTM mode
best regards
I never tried it being S-On. I have a Sprint M9 and I could get into FTM but the unlock did not work.

Most likely since Sprint does not use a sim card except for LTE it will not function as it would on a GSM phone. I remember reading when Sunshine became available for the M9 that sim unlock was included, but like my previous statement it probably won't for Sprint variants. What I first did to sim unlock my T-Mobile M9 was I get a temporary unlock from T-Mobile,and then I searched for all files and data pertaining to the sim. I was able to locate the files where it showed the temporary unlock, and I changed the data to show that it was temporary unlocked until 2015. The temporary unlock was good for 30 days, but after 45 days it's still unlocked, and it tells me in the unlock app that it's unlocked until 2015. Temporarily that is.?

According to Sprint it is GSM compatible but GLOBAL mode needs to be enabled. So you may be on to something with the whole 'SIM Unlock' thing. http://eguides.sprint.com/support/e...htc_one_m9_ug/enable_global_roaming_mode.html
What sort of file was it that contained the unlock info? Or was it part of a partition such as pg1fs / pg2fs etc?
My AT&T version arrive tomorrow and hopefully it is locked. I intend to dump all partitions before and after SIM unlock to find the difference if it is there
Damn phone... please ignore
Del
I am on T-mobile. In this FTM mode, I cannot see anything on the /sdcard/ path, so it won't run. It also continually gives the "failed to updated device info" message. So, not sure what is needed to make it see the "/sdcard/" path contents.

I need some assistance in UNlocking my 8125. I sent my phone into at&t for repairs, they sent the phone back locked. I am an old ATTWS customer, I have been waiting for one week for my unlock code. I recently purchased an 8525 and SIM/CID Unlocked that phone, but I need assistance with this phone. I have run the lokiwiz03a several times, but it keeps giving me "The system cannot find the path specified" on all the lines of the program. Of course at the end it does not provide an unlock code, It repeats the message.
I think you are not doing it proper,I may be wrong,but most probably you have to copy and paste two cab files 'Cert_SPCS' and 'EnableRapi' in the phone somewhere and execute them in the phone,then after that run 'lokiwizMSL' on your pc.
Cheers!
I loaded both .cab files on the 8125, they both ran succesfully. I have the phone connected to active sync. I am at a loss on this. I have no clue why this is not working. I have flashed numerous ROM's on phones, this one seems to be a pain the in the behind. At&t just returned the phone from repairs, could they have installed something to block this?
hmmm,
really strange though,may be they have put some kinda special code on it.what repairs were carried on it ?
btw,have you tried to sim unlock with WST 4.2 tool,ask mestrini,if it might do the trick.
Cheers!
I ran the WST as you requested. It is telling me that the DOC chip is write protected. When I run the CID Action and Run Super CID it returns that message. When I run SIM unlock it generates all the data from the phone and produces LOCKED in the status. At the bottom of all the data it returns DOC chip is write protected. I may be running this tool wrong, your info is appreciated.
WST simlock tool doesn't work on G4.
Easiest way:
1. Run flight mode.
2. Turn off your Wizard and insert "bad" simcard.
3. Turn on your Wizzard copy Two cabs Cert_SPCS' and 'EnableRapi'
4. Install it on device memory.
5. Turn on phone (in commanager)
6. Run lokiwiz, it should work!
How do I turn on the phone with the wrong SIm in the phone, it keeps going back to the SIM lock page. I am able to turn on the flight mode, but I can not do anything else, it keep srefering back to the SIMlock page.
simlock screen = run lokiwiz and enter generated code. It must work
Everyline on the screen reports "The system cannot find the path specified" I think at&t has protected this from unlocking?
same happens to me
try running lokiwiz from c:\
make sure that two cabs are installed
wizard is an old model I think at&t is taking care over iphone now ;p
Hello,
how can I tell if my 8525 is SIM unlocked?
I bought my phone "unlocked", but then used ATT for service. If I end the service, will my phone revert back to being unlocked? And can an unlocked phone use Virgin mobile as a carrier? (I kinda doubt it, but maybe someone has tried it).
Should I use HardSPL 2.10 - Hard-SPL-V7 - FIRST before trying the unlocking tool? (The Free unlocker by pof mentions it comes with HardSPL v1.40)
Thanks, all of y'all are extremely helpful. (and no I'm not being sarcastic)
to see if your phone is indeed unlocked, try to put in sim cards issued by different carriers, if you can make a phone call then your phone is sim unlocked. do the same test with virgin mobile (remember that you need to get a hold of the sim card to put into your phone in order to connect with the cellular network). if a carrier never issues any sim card then it'll be difficult to use your phone with their cellular service.
Also, if you want to unlock, flash hard spl AFTER you unlock as it will downgrade your spl to 1.40. You want 2.10 olipro for safety.With hard spl on yor phone its harder to brick it and easier to fix if something does go wrong. I also use the sd card method of flashing for preference as its harder to pry my phone out of my hand and resetting it with th stylus while I'm trying to kill you.... The pc can be reset, hang, have usb disconnected or have power outage... result : bricked hermes.... Hope this helps....
Thanks for the responses,
I can't use activesync because I always get errors, so I decided to use the SD card method. I want to install HardSPL (the new one) first, so my device won't get messed up, so I researched on how to install HardSPL via SD Card. I found out that that I needed to rename the .nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh, and then I needed to put it into the "root folder". There's just one problem... where is this "root folder" located at?? I searched the net, but I couldn't find an answer. Even if I make it to view hidden files, the only folders I see are :WMDRM and MSMETADATA
And again, .... if I unlock my phone, it will go back to being LOCKED after I choose a carrier correct? In other words, it's not a: once you unlock it, it will ALWAYS be unlocked.... correct?
I ask cuz my phone was supposedly "unlocked" when purchasing, and if it was ALREADY unlocked in the first place, then maybe I won't need to unlock it again.

it's always a good idea to catch up with computer vocabularies, otherwise you'd have more and more challenges following up moving forward.
try again with google, i did try searching for "root folder" and got a bunch of relevant hits explaining what it is and where to find it.

Yes...once you unlock it, it is forever unlocked.
My phone got temporarily blacklisted due to a dodgy ebay seller.
It's now off the list but is Simlocked again
I no longer have the option to input an unlock code though!
If I check the test menu with I get this information about my SIMLOCK:
--
FAT32 Init Ok
Open File Fail

Any ideas on what has happened and how to fix?

I have a ANS UL40 phone through Assurance wireless / >Virgin Mobile> Sprint.. and am trying to root this phone so I can get the SPC code to run DFS tools. Have used DFS and loaded phone and unlock with default password, but when I try 000000 spc unlock says device offline and all prompts in all fields go from yellow to red and in a few minutes go back to yellow showing device info.
I need info off this phone to flash my SM-N900P phone over to Assurance Wireless. The UL40 phone uses a sim card, have tried in note 3 but no service and then sim locked please reboot phone. I have tries on UL40 many different rooting apks and through pc. Most say root fail or your phone doesn't seem to be able to root. Any help would be appreciated. To root the ANS UL40 and also how to flash over Note 3. I have done flashing before on a note 2. So i basically know what to do. When I did try to flash over the note 3 I just get your account cannot be verified when calling 611 (without the sim) but when I insert sim its says no sim or sim locked reboot phone. Thanks
Guess nobody knows

Hi,
My friend just got the same phone and while setting it up for her I noticed that the default file manager is called CyanogenMod File Manager. It's probably meaningless but thought I'd share it just in case there's some sort of CyanogenMod back door. Good luck and if you do get it rooted please let me know.
I found a paid root that will root UL 40 Assurance choose the 6 mo lan.. https://www.oneclickroot.com/support-packages/
I wouldn't have asked on here if I wanted to pay for it, and they are not a guarantee they can do it. have read somewhere that someone ask them to do the same phone and they could not............ And no still no root. Probably does not matter. Talked to Assurance wireless rep today and they said lots of people are complaining about this phone. I have had in less than 2 weeks of getting it, had to have them warranty it and they sent me the same one. It would reboot on it's own and yes did factory reset. Now have the replacement, haven't done any kind of rooting or anything and on day 2 it starting to not be able to make phone calls. Says phone is not responding. Did a factory reset on this one and still doing same thing. Sometimes it does make a call and sometimes not. Pissed I am....
I stumbled across a site. Idk but it looks like it could contain some valuable info you may need or may be looking for. Send me a message or email me for the link. Since I've not posted before, it won't allow me to post the link.
I have decided to go to another provider for my cell phone and the UL40 phone will be no more. After talking to them so many times and finding they are complete idiots. Because they keep sending me a phone that stops working correctly after 1-3 days. Even before I started trying to root. I even talk to a real English speaking (LOL) person and they told me what I already knew, the ANS UL40 phone is a complete piece of ****. So many people have complained to them about that phone they decided not to ship out anymore. Now what kind of phone i will get from other carrier, I'll have to wait and see. Thanks all.............

I have a ANS UL40 phone through Assurance wireless / >Virgin Mobile> Sprint.. and am trying to root this phone so I can get the SPC code to run DFS tools. Have used DFS and loaded phone and unlock with default password, but when I try 000000 spc unlock says device offline and all prompts in all fields go from yellow to red and in a few minutes go back to yellow showing device info.
I need info off this phone to flash my SM-N900P phone over to Assurance Wireless. The UL40 phone uses a sim card, have tried in note 3 but no service and then sim locked please reboot phone. I have tries on UL40 many different rooting apks and through pc. Most say root fail or your phone doesn't seem to be able to root. Any help would be appreciated. To root the ANS UL40 and also how to flash over Note 3. I have done flashing before on a note 2. So i basically know what to do. When I did try to flash over the note 3 I just get your account cannot be verified when calling 611 (without the sim) but when I insert sim its says no sim or sim locked reboot phone. Thanks

I have the same phone and I still don't know how to get the MLS code, try enableling the diag ports with ##3424# and hopefully that way you'll get the spc I would let you know if I figure it out
I am looking for a custom ROM for my ANS UL40
Hello.
I was wondering if there would be anyone nice enough to make a custom ROM for the ANS UL40. I would do i tbut I don't have the coding skills or patience to do so.
ANS UL40 "Cast" compatibility w/Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2
Asking if ANS UL40 "Cast" will run Actiontec ScreenBeam Mini2.
UL40 is "CAST" standard compatible with Mini2 (WiFi Mirocast and INTEL WiDi certified) ?
UL40 able to PARE WiFi and update Mini2 firmware. UL40 says CONNECTED, but click "CAST" and phone goes back to WiFi. Mini2 screen says Connection Failed.
If able to preform firmware update, then UL40 is communicating w/Mini2 so, UL40 should be compatible, but "CAST" fails.
Please advise.
Many kind thanks.
Any luck unlocking this phone so far?
Have not tackled that yet. LEMNO if you succeed.
Best.

Hope someone can figure out how to gain root access on this phone I have it and It would be a blessing
you can unlock the bootloader in android dev settings "OEM unlocking", once in bootloader cmds like "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" do nothing when connected with usb, what a shame. In recovery (vol up + power) there's an option to mount system, it does but I doubt that can lead to anything root access wise, btw, root noob.

Could you elaborate!?
In which market are you in?
It seems to me that they are still shipping it in many markets Assurance Wireless is in, like Oregon for example... so how did you come by that information?
I got this phone a couple days ago and got my msl code by running adb logcat while dialing ##data# and entering the wrong code, it was 536978 and used this on DFS to change it to 000000 then I was able to access everything once I entered ##diag# and then 000000, and enabled diagnostics. If I can get a working stock firmware or boot IMG I could root through magisk and then do separate fastboot boot (magisk patched)boot.img. I am unable to find a stock firmware for this device if anyone can let me know and I'll have root for us.

Did you ever create a working root? I have this phone as well.
micro sd card
Does anyone know what is the maximum micro sd card supported by this phone?

Hey guys, similar to all of @Some_Random_Username's unbrick threads, here are the EDL packages (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus Nord N200 5G.
Important: This is only for the T-Mobile variant of the N200. This will not work on the factory unlocked variant and may or may not work for the Metro variant.

Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Others" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
How can I check my device project ID?
Use getprop ro.boot.project_name. This however involve having ADB access or access to OxygenOS to use Termux or whatever terminal emulator you prefer.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

OnePlus for the device and OS
@Nache and others who have the unlocked version from the oneplus store and have the bootloader locked and phone bricked .. This version will not work with your phone as i just tried it myself today .. hopefully someone gets a hold of the msmdowmload from the tech support ..
patiently waiting for the unlock
So just to confirm: For those of us with Tmobile version, this will install default rom from OnePlus and get rid of all the bloatware from Tmobile and technically make our devices be like they are originally purchased from OP?
And of course, in order to use this our bootloader needs to be unlocked?
Will this lock bootloader again?
And do we unlock it with same code we got from OP first time?
Thanks!

My understanding is the T-Mobile MSM Tools will restore a T-Mobile variant phone to the state it was in coming from T-Mobile; meaning if you debloated the phone, the bloat will be back.
You can use the MSM Tools even with a locked bootloader.
If your bootloader is unlocked, I believe this will lock it. (it may SIM lock your phone again as well, unsure...)
I think the same unlock token will work, but I'm hesitant to say 'yes' without someone testing it first.

1. Nope, this will revert your device back to the T-Mobile stock ROM, including all the bloatware. Thsi does not convert your device into an unlocked variant.
2. This works whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. If your bootloader is unlocked, using this tool will lock it again, and you will need to unlock it by flashing unlock_code.bin again.

Thank you!
I read an article that was bit unclear and pointed to this so I wanted to confirm.
Also, from everything else I gathered, there is still no way to flash Tmob variant with non Tmob rom?
I was interested to try LineageOS but that's not available also seems like.
Phone's too new still. I think we need the MSM Tools for all the variants available before someone can figure out how to flash one variant into another, and we currently only have the T-Mobile variant's MSM Tools.

incoming August 176 patch
I have update installed.
You can use restore image on Magisk uninstall before you start. If you encounter problem, you can use original boot image and run "mock patch"
Install update and switch to Magisk when you're prompted to restart, and let Magisk to install in unused partition, and restart after finished
If you have problem with CTS after update, install riru from Magisk and download safetynet fix, and install in Magisk as well (you have to reboot twice)
I've successful restored my N200 phone several times using the MSM, but this most recent time it appears the process was interrupted and I get the following error when turning on the phone. I can not boot the phone back into EDL mode to run MSM tool again. Every 10 or so boots the phone will boot into fastboot instead of throwing the error. I tried flashing a backed up boot.img and super.img, but no luck getting past the error. Any way to recover?
automatic ddr failed
Thank you! I could only get this to work by:
Unplug phone
Open MSMDownloadTool, don't click start
Hold down volume up and down
Plug phone into USB 2.0 port
Release volume up and down, verify device shows up as QDLOADER in Device Manager
Click "Enum" in MSMDownloadTool
Click on the device in the list and click "Start"
I got bootloader unlock code. I need SIM unlock "One Plus Nord N200 5G" by Metro. Help me!

I bricked my phone late last night and found this forum & thread; my problem was that each time my computer kept showing my phone as "Kedacom" until I scrolled through and found this post.
You guys saved my ass AND saved me a trip to T-Mobile too! I owe you guys big time!
I successfully flashed a metro-pcs device using the tool in this thread. I bricked my device using the dsu loader in developer options. "Oem unlocking" is greyed out. Can anyone point me to a good bootloader unlocking tutorial for this devicel? Is it possible to use this tool with a rom that has already been rooted? Thanks,
Noob here. One thing to note: device was not recognized in the beginning. I held vol up/down at the same time and then plugged in device. Although the screen was black, the device was shown as "connected" and had no issues flashing. After 300 secs, voila!

You can try this tutorial. It worked for me on Tmobile, no idea about MetroPCS. Key line is
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim
MSMDownloadTool wipes the entire device and relocks the bootloader if it was unlocked, it doesn't care if you're rooted.
