Anyone know how to adb unlock sim? I had a captivate and there was a way to change the binary file to leave network unlocked then you pushed it using a Chmod adb command. I would try it but I'm afraid I don't have insurance and also not too comfortable with htc devices so I don't wanna brick by accident

That's the link
You either need an xtc clip or a sim unlock code from Verizon or an online unlocker.

I believe Verizons code is free...why won't ppl use it?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
As a Verizon indirect agent my account manager will not give unlock codes to me therefore software unlock is my best bet, I'm not buying an xtc clip either talk about a ripoff
Why can't you just call Verizon customer support and get the unlock code from them? Shouldn't matter if you're affiliated with vzw or not, you pay for a service, they provide it.

Please answer the question I know what I can and can't do it's stupid what can't be done when u work for a company but I have tried everything and that's why I am posting the question, Yes I have searched, Yes I have called support, my options are software unlock or code unlock and I don't want to pay for a code
Those are your only options. Either find someone that does sim unlocking with an xtc clip or buy a code. There's absolutely no other way known right now.

Side note, what are my chances of bricking the device trying to do this the same way? I have backups if I can get into CWM BUT a nice brick would probably make me very upset
It has a greater risk than not doing it and spending a few bucks.

Hi,
Is it possible to unlock these phones so they're open to all network operators?
Thanks
Anyone?
The phone only came out in most places today friend. Give it a couple of days to see what the devs cook up

Well my Mrs is getting her upgrade tomorrow (HTC One X), but I'm guessing its going to come locked to ORANGE UK network.. I'm in THREE UK network.. So my Sim card wont work in it... right?
I need to try & get it unlocked to all networks... or I'll just have to sell it.

They don't always come unlocked in the UK most carriers sim block it to their networks. Some don't some do.

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english in advance.

Damn Got scammed. Is there a way to root this and unlock it, like this version? If so, can you link me?
How do I unlock it
forget unlocking. i'd be contacting the seller...
Its a fake phone man , contact the seller and demand a refund. Unlocking it and stuff is impossible as these Chinese phones have no development at all , try finding a phone with similar hardware z maybe that will help. .
ah right, I have seen methods to unlock these phones though. I have a giffgaff (O2) sim and it doesnt pick up any bars, I tried my EE sim and it picked it up. I dont think my phone is unlocked, is there a way to unlock it. Iv heard of SRSRoot is that the correct method?

Rooting and unlocking are two different things SRSRoot will probably root it but it won't unlock it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Get your money back, if you paid with paypal contact the seller first and if he refuses do a charge back. Knock off phone's hardware is almost always terrible, which is why the price is so low. Even if you manage to root and install a custom ROM it will never be the same experience as having the actual S3 :\. Sorry to hear all this man.

Okay I tried SRSRoot but it didn't work
I have a Verizon HTC One that I purchased on the device payment plan. I have searched here and you tube to see if I can unlock the bootloader to install custom roms. I know it has the old bootloader version of 1.54. Any help will be great before my return Window closes.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
No hope of boot loader unlock on that firmware currently. Only option is send to sonic for s-off. Or change carriers to att or someone else and get a one from them, I returned my Verizon one and did just that and couldn't be happier.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Verizon has blocked the bootloader from being unlocked via HTCDev. Currently, the ONLY way to unlock is to send it to Sonic. Visit this thread:

So you are against sending it out to get s-off'd by sonic? That's a permanent root for you...
If not, do some research before you purchase a new $600 device. If root is a MUST for you please take time to make sure a new phone will fit your needs in this matter before you waste their time with return of an otherwise GOOD product.
I apologize if this sounds snarky.... that's not my intent.

If you kept your old phone, reactivate that one, send your One to Sonic to get S-Off (for a very reasonable fee... the java cards are expensive!), then when you get it back, reactivate the one. Done and done!
I did keep my old phone but the simple solution is to just return and wait on the one max

more development will be on the htc one maxx than this phone (unfortunately HTC kinda did again - what they did with the HTC Inc4g I just hope this community actually stays and doesn't leave), not saying that it will get S-OFF faster, but it will have more of a community than us, which = more bounty money = more developers working on exploits. Personally I can't use a phone bigger than 5' large. Again, this is just an opinion from word around the water coolers.

Quick and dirty version of how.
Visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427960 for information.
Go to http://htc.s26tech.com/ to purchase the S-OFF option for the One, send it off and wait for it to come back.
Hi everyone,
There's no option about OEM unlock.
I have an Htc One M9 LTE Verizon
Do you know another solution?
Thanks!
You need the Java card s-off method. There is an epic thread on it in the Verizon M9 forum.

If it's not in their, the carrier removed it and you can't unlock your phone without a Java card hack
So where do i get that java card hack ?

Nothing mentions carrier specific devices so i thought BINGO.
I guess those who are so smart that can hack the phone are not so smart to post basic information.
Its ok, i find my self just as dumb sometimes.
I have fallen into the same trap with NOTE 4.
It was DAYS after i discovered that to root NOTE 4 phone has to be developers edition.
Yet so many posts about rooting note 4, even here on this forum.

I just want a similar performance phone with micro SD card support that can be rooted with no hassle.

i dont like galaxy caz its button are too close to the screen and they are too big making it hard to use with one hand.

NO, he meant "CAN".
Maybe Java card method isn't what you desire....but it does in fact work to completely free the Verizon m9.
Good luck finding any Verizon device which doesn't require some amount of "hassle" to unshackle.

I think you have a bad unit or get horrible reception(I lean more towards bad unit, it happens). I have 3 users with the VZW M9 in Long Island NY and all 3 of them get great battery life. In fact 2 of them are definitely power users and they only rave about it.
Good luck with the G4. It's a nice device to hold you over until the M10 drops!
