You could just use a ROM... Such as "PRIMEGSM"

I never had a SIM carrier phone before , been with Sprint all my life, tomorrow ill be switching to T-Mobile and didn't think about our phone being global is it possible to activate through t-mobile by unlocking or what will I have to do ?
Your in luck because the photon has just been unlocked to use domestic gsm carriers via the japanese radio. Check the android dev section

You should probably give it a little more time to get a proper write-up since flashing radios can be on the risky side. Good news is that will be very soon

1. Your Photon must be "unlock" , this mean unlocking the boot loader so that you can flash "custom recovery" and use that to flash custom Rom or Radio.
2. The GSM unlock thread is providing the "Radio" from Japan's Photon that does not contain the locked down on US GSM network (t-mobile, at&t). Once you flashed that to replaced the current Sprint Radio, it should work with t-mobile or AT&T, however it will not work with Sprint CDMA.
There are 2 types of unlock:
1. Unlock Boot Loader
2. Unlock SIM card
So be careful.
what are the commands to actually flash the radio?
I know how to unlock the boot-loader and all that, just never flashed a different radio

If you already unlock the boot loader and had CWM recovery installed.
1. Then go to this thread first, Read and follow the procedure to get rid the Sprint activation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265816&highlight=how+to+bypass+activation
2. Go to setting and set mobile network to GSM
3. Go to this thread here, Read and download the KKDI radio and flash the Radio through CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664212
4. Insert your SIM card and reboot.
It should work. Beware that it will not work on CDMA Sprint any more after flashing the GSM Radio.

Flashing a rom or RUU won't remove s-off, as long as it's s-off, doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked or not.

I don't know of any way to lock the sim, I'll have to leave it up to the GSM experts to answer.
I suggest you update your subject with that question instead of just a Q...
The Rezound does not have SIM lock... Never did. no amount of flashing anything will lock it.

Go here, follow the directions. Get S-OFF, get sim unlock, all for free. Well, you should donate afterwards.

I just unlocked my completely stock AT&T M8 at this website:
http://unlockcode247.com/
You just give them the IMEI number of the phone and $3.70 via PayPal and in about 3 hours I had the unlock code for my phone via email. I just put in my alternate sim card and entered the code and the phone is now completely unlocked without having to do S-Off or anything else to the phone. It is still 100% stock.

No it won't work for VZW or any CDMA carrier in the US.
You can unlock the AT&T M8 to work on T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier. BUT you can't unlock the AT&T M8 or any other GSM M8 for use on a CDMA carrier(Sprint, Verizon)
this also goes for the unlocked one on HTC site.
Sprint and Verizon won't allow it. You will have to buy a Verizon M8 to work on their network and unlock it to use it on GSM. But not vice versa
Is verizon universally unlocked?
i couldnt find a post to do it, but i messaged sunshine about my phone. my phone tried to use the sunshine app and it states it got s-off but the gsm didnt want to unlock with the other simcards i had.
any help would be great, thanks

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...
