How does creating a goldcard affect sim lock? It doesnt on other HTC devices. Just interested as someone asked me to look into the wildfire S Sim lock.

It doesn't, goldcards only allow you to flash a ROM with a different CID than your phone. To remove SIM lock you need to either buy a code based on your IMEI, or factory unlock with the XTC Clip.
I removed the SIM Lock on a T-Mobile Wildfire S hoping to use it on O2 in UK this worked in that I can get past the SIM Lock prompt but the phone seems to also have some kind of carrier lock which prevents it registering on any other network than T-Mobile.
Tried debranding and downgrading without success. Just waiting for the XTC clip to come now so I can get rid of my X10 Mini Pro and start using my new phone properly
If you buy the phone from somewhere like carphone warehouse, you get a factory unlocked phone and they just give you the sim card.

Hi!!
There are only two ways.
You may buy an unlock code for your Wildfire S. It costs about 12€.
Or you may buy an XTC Clip. It costs about 40 € plus shipping fee, and with that you may unlock and S-OFF as many as HTC devices (see list of devices supported) as you want.
Bye!!
How can i test to see if my phone is unlocked i don't have another other sim card available to me to test ?
Enter a code to check ?
Thanks
Get a free pay and go sim from another network pretty much only way I know

If you are S-OFF (not rooted but S-OFF) then your phone is problably sim unlocked. Take into consideration that not all sim unlocked devices work with all carrier sims. Some carriers lock their sims so they can not work with unlocked devices.
If you used the Hack Kit to root your device, then you are simunlocked. Check it this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD

I just tried another one after purchasing an unlocking code and the SIM works. How retarded of me. So is it just some SIM cards that wont work or is it generally all sim cards from a specific carrier?

Seems that GIFFGAFF locks the sims...so you probably will have to ask them for a new one.
Yes.
Yes it can be unlocked but not free. You have to get your unlock code provided by your network service provider, for that you have to pay a little bucks. To get the unlock code you can go to Unlock-Zone.com and select your country and network to which your phone is locked. And get your unlock code through mail.If you try with free codes there are many possibilities for your phone to be hard locked.

If you downgrade to 2.2 you will regret it. If you are s-off Then you Sim unlocked. That doesn't mean that every Sim works with your device. Some carriers lock Sims...

I have a rooted Inspire 4G (rooted with Ach Hack kit). I recently purchased a T-mobile sim (0.99 cents) and put it in my phone and it worked. So I am thinking that when you root the phone with Ace Hack kit, it automatically removes carrier sim lock too. I don't find any other explanation for T-mobile Sim working on my mobile as I never unlocked my phone.

Yes AAHK SIM unlocks as part of the process.
i see.
i tried the sim unlock in the easy radio for dhd and even though the files were successfully pushed but i think my phone is still locked to carrier.
is ur unlocked phone still showing carrier brand when booting?
can u use the phone without sim card inserted?
Apart from checking if your phone is S-off, which my is. Is there another way to check to ensure phone is unlocked?

If you are S-OFF you are probably sim unlocked...however to make sure that you are, you can use this (paragraph 4)

**I'm an amateur at posting threads **
First I tried to SIM unlock by paying but none of those codes were working, after I rooted my phone, followed some threads and tutorials but none of them worked.
Any solution?
HTC ONE M8 :
-Android Version : 5.0.1
-Phone is European ( I am located in Europe)

If you are trying tutorials for other phones, they won't work; and you should stop doing that.
The only "mod" or "hack" (free) method to unlock the SIM on the M8 required s-off. And it no longer works on Lollipop.
Paid unlock services are probably your best bet. What pay sites did you try? I've seen cellunlocker.net recommended by various XDA members, but I've never used it myself (and can't personally vouch for the service). And those recommendations were on the One X (EVITA) so I'm not sure how well they can unlock the M8.

I tried UnlockRiver. They sent me the unlock code but it didn't work, It's because they said it is a newer version of phone.

I'd suggest another service, possibly a few. They can be a bit hit or miss with getting a working code on some of these devices.

I am wondering about SIM unlocking my AT&T variant to use over sees. I currently have SuperCID but wasnt sure if that accomplished basically the same thing as SIM unlock. Thanks.

Go to AT&T's website, and fill out the form to get the unlock SIM code. I don't even think you need to be an ATT customer to do this. Although sometimes, folks have had problems with the device's IMEI not being found in the database.
I think a law was passed within the last couple years, that US carriers need to allow customers to SIM unlock their phones.

This worked (SuperCID gave SIM unlock) early on when the phone released, but hasn't been the case for quite a while now.
You can try S-OFF.
1: Unlock yoru bootloader with htcdev
2: Flash twrp and SuperSU
3: Install SunShine S-OFF apk ( from: theroot.ninja )
4: And your phone is Sim Unlocked
5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 use this to back 100% stock EU
6: Use One_M8_All-In-One_Kit_v and click Command: Return to S-ON
Your phone is 100% Stock, you have a waranty and your phone is Sim unlocked.

Did you try other carrier SIMs before you were superCID? It may have worked then as well. It seems there is a good chance that you bought an unlocked phone.

So nothing, there is no proof that it was locked anyway. I know my stuff just like redpoint. My previous comment stays.
Who says it you haven't gotten a refurbished one, maybe it was factory unlocked already. Even new phones are shipped with s-off already !
I (we) have seen so many carrier locked threads here that i can tell you that s-off does not give you carrier unlock features. There is more needed and the tutorial that was active doesn't work anymore ! I'm long enough around here to say that with a 200%......
Have you even been reading up on this topic, did you have a read here about what's needed to achieve sim unlock ?

I agree to this; and also to the notion that the device was probably just SIM unlocked to begin with.
