Hello long time lurker here . Don't post often enough . Probably gonna break that trend
Current Status of my Phone :
Sprint HTC One M9(CDMA) : 1) Bootloader Re-Locked (S-ON) ; 2) Unrooted 3) Sim Unlocked ; 4)Running Official Sprint OTA Update
Note: I'm using a GSM sim after the Sim Unlock
Things I would really appreciate assistance with
1) Steps to unlock LTE Bands
2) Access VoLTE
3) Access WiFi Hotspot Tethering
Questions I really would like answers to :
1) If I have to root and unlock my bootloader to achieve the above steps will I be able to relock my phone and still have the LTE bands , VoLTE and WiFi Hotspot features stay?
Assuming I achieve the above unlocking of features.
2)If the unlocked features are lost post relocking my bootloader ( I intend to do this to receive the official Nougat 7.0 Update) , will the procedures to unlock LTE Bands , access to VoLTE and Hotspot and re rooting and unlocking my bootloader change?
I would really appreciate help with this and thanks in advance to anyone who invests their time in assisting me

Hi everyone. I'm new at this and was wondering if I install a custom Rom on AT&T HTC Desire 610 Go Phone, will I be able to use T-mobile instead of AT&T? Will it unlock or bypass the network so I don't need to get network unlock pin? I contacted AT&T customer service to unlock network pin but was told I need to activate service to get help with that. I really don't want to activate the phone only to get a network unlock code when I'll be using T-mobile after. If custom Rom won't do the trick is there a way to SIM-Unlock the phone or a tutorial? The Phone is brand new Bootloader unlocked with HTCDEV and rooted. Purchased at Target. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone with some insight on my dilemma
Nope. Requires supercid mode, which requires s-off, which we don't have yet. Only option is at&t. If you've got a friend with an at&t account in good standing, they might be able to do it for you.
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
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
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?
Hi guys ,
I have got a sprint lg g3 ls990. which was already unlocked when i got that and was running flumics rom.

I don't really know the answer to this question because I've never used GSM or had to deal with SIM-related stuff, so this might be a dumb question, but does it just require an unlock code? Is this the same code that you can view in the "About Phone" menu in the options? The one that's called UICC unlock or something? Check out this thread here...
Is it already locked with a PIN right now? I don't even know if locked SIMs persist across factory resets, but if they do I would check online to see if that's all you need, or how it works. Maybe a Google search with something like UICC unlock SIM GSM LG G3 Sprint factory reset, for example. Sorry if I'm already telling you stuff you know.
I am currently running the latest Resurection rom and wondering is using this method : http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/36748-how-to-change-mode-from-nv-to-ruim-in-any-cdma-phone-using-dfs-free-version/ i would be able to throw my verizon sim and have working cdma network? theres a few posts about some people being able to cdma unlock their phone but not much detail and not really sure. thanks.
I currently have both the T-Mobile version and I purchased an unlocked version from BestBuy.

Are there physical differences to these two phones or are they just running different software?
EDIT I looks like its not possible to unlock the bootloader of the T-Mobile version just yet and I have been doing some searching and it looks like the unlocked version is closer to being unlocked. If anyone can confirm a way to bootloader unlock either I would appreciate it.
My end goal here is to get access to Unlocked/Uncapped tethering without having to use a 3rdparty app or companion app. The ability to flash custom ROMs and root access. But also the ability to flash back to a 100% stock rom.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
EDIT I see now you can get the bootloader unlocked on both version by sending a token to Oneplus and waiting 7 days.

The only physical difference is that the T-Mobile version has the IMEI engraved onto the back of the phone while the unlocked variant does not and the original boxes are slightly different.
Both phones run different software. It is possible to flash the unlocked ROM to the T-Mobile version of the phone after unlocking the bootloader, but that breaks OTA.

You may find this useful with the T-Mobile variant: CLICK HERE
All the info you need to get your bootloader unlocked for the T-Mobile variant.
There's even a single adb command that will ungrey the OEM unlock option in the developer settings without a SIM unlock (you'll still need the unlock token from OP though):
The Quest for a Bootloader Unlock (partial guide, T-Mobile variant, may work for MetroPCS/Metro variant)
OK, this process has been hell, but I'm gonna try and consolidate everything I've worked out so far in one place. This all applies only to the T-Mobile variant (ie. it comes preloaded with all the T-Mobile bloatware) of the N200 on the T-Mobile...

does unlocked version has dual sim capability and dual sim tray??
I'm trying to do the same thing with the N200 for a hostpot @xVoidx . I'm curious if you succeeded, and what ROM did you end up using to do it?
I have this phone fully bootloader unlocked. can someone direct me to a tmobile variant rom? or something thatll change it from tmobile to unlocked?
