I have had two companies give me the same unlock code which does not work. Is it a problem with the phone or a problem with the code?
Both say factory reset the phone but this has some issues I think, sometimes I get a red triangle or it reboots very quickly without resetting from the rom.
Phone is sim locked to Three UK (who have stopped fixing the phone directly and HTC won't look at it as its been boot loader unlocked)
Can anyone help with this if so, give full instructions and files needed. Thanks in advance.
P.S. it would be nice if a debranded rom could be installed.

ARe you on STOCK rom and stock recovery. If no go to full stock
I had the same problem on my One X locked on Orange Romania. It seems some GSM operators change the factory unlock codes. The only way to unlock it would be to have a buddy working at the GSM Operator or wait until the phone gets out of contract. I was unable to unlock mine.
yes I'm on full stock rom.

OK so I have got the code from Three UK and it is the same as the the others and does not work.
Does anyone think it is because the boot loader has been unlocked?
HTC support chat reckon thats the problem

It shouldn't, I believe I had the same problem but I was on AOSP, I had to put a stock ROM on for sure.
It could be worth locking it to see though, it's not the biggest pain in the ass!
If no joy, Im out of ideas... sorry mate!
Good luck

My phone has this stock Rom already on it.. I would have to try putting another stock Rom on it. It it possible to put a standard unbranded stock Rom on it instead of HG3?
As far as I know ofcourse you can
OK I have put another H3G stock rom on and this does not work either.
After looking into this further I have found somewhere that if the phone is a replacement one or something was changed from manufacturer and providers with regards to databases for unlock codes then the one provided may not work.
Well my phone went into the service centre and they fixed it but stated after testing they decided to change the mainboard. I suspect because it was originally a CID 1111111 with S-OFF(unbranded as HTC described it) as it was delivered first day they came out. Rush job to get to market and didn't get branded to H3G_001 and S-ON I suppose.
Anyway I suspect that because the main board has been changed the the unlock code has also changed and not been documented or changed on the database for the codes. So they are providing me with the original code not the new one and the letter for the fix state IMEI code previous and new the same, so they must have just reprogrammed that and forgot about the unlock code.
Is there a way to read these off the phone, NVR or something?
I am with Orange or EE and I have tried to flash a stock rom with stock recovery and relocked bootloader and nothing has worked. I have paid 2 companies for the unlock code which is the same code and nothing works I am so frustrated might have to leave htc. This is ridiculous I am on 3.16.61 and my cid is orang001

I'm going elsewhere on my next phone too. HTC support use the bootloader unlock as a get out of jail free card.

Just to kick this up I've had the exact same problem (this time with t-mobile) 3 companies and EE all with the same code, all refused by the phone.
Heart breaking really.
Is there no hardware method to get the code or an alternative sim unlock out there?

Hey guys, im from Lebanon and my friend asked me if i can fix here slow Galaxy S3...I told her that i can try to flash a custom Rom (witch basically are made for making mobile phones faster)....the confusion is, we live in Lebanon, and her phone model number is SGH-T999V, so its a Canada variant...i have no ideas about carrier, but i just wanna know if i flash a custom Rom (lets say CarbonROM):
first, the zip file is the one that ends with d2lte?
and second, will the phone be locked to a specific carrier or i can use it with, in my case, a Lebanese Sim card normally without further action?
tnx in advance, and sorry for my bad english

Yes, D2LTE is the one you are looking for. If the phone has never been SIM unlocked then the phone shall ask for an unlock code as soon as you put a SIM card from another carrier that's not the one that came with the phone.

thank you for your reply, she already used it with a Lebanese sim for about 2 years with no problem, does it means that the phone is SIM unlocked for use in Lebanon and will stay like this after flashing custom ROM? OTA official android updates also work normally btw, and after the flash she will use the same sim

Everything should work the same as usual after the flash. You may just have to change the APN after flashing. So, you may want to write down or screen cap the current APN settings before flashing.
okay guys thank you very much...ill update this post after flashing, sry for bothering
Hi, I have the Virgin Mobile 816. I am wondering if I could unlock the network so that I could use the sim from other operators, like AT&T or Verizon.
Thanks!
Not possible. This model only works on Virgin Mobile.

Never say never. I will not rest until it is possible. SPCS won't keep me down. I was a loyal customer for ten years and they screwed me over. I want the phone, but not them. Back in the day they said my Photon was on a version that couldn't be modified to GSM, but that didn't stop some of us from making it work.
I just wish I'd have picked a phone that had more development time with the true devs.

I checked with Virgin Customer care if they can unlock, they told me that they cannot give MSL code as it does not satify the conditions. But i was searching all the forum and able to get the MSL code from the MSL utility.apk, but I am not sure how to unlock the GSM with the MSL, I was able to enable ##3424# but dont know further process.
I am sure someone would be able to unlock it soon and share the process. Lets wait for some more time:fingers-crossed:

i want to know if its safe to flash it on a dual sim device.
i understand i may need to change the CID/MID to get it to work.
i really need the 5.0 version for my dual sim phone but the update is not working.

Most likely not. The dual SIM models have different partition sizes then the VM variant, and it will probably hard brick your device.
Scratch that, flashing any RUU not meant for YOUR phone has a 99% chance of hard bricking your phone. So I really don't want to see you with a busted phone...
bought HTC One M8 EE UK phone on ebay, seller said that phone was unlocked, but when I tried to install my Vodafone sim, phone is not accepted it. I thought that any company will unlock it without any problems. but when I have checked IMEI using imei checker option, it showed that phone is hard locked. IMEI is . I've tried around 7 different companies and no one can't get correct unlock code for this phone, some of them even do not gave me refund at all :crying:
Really need to use this phone for phone calls. after some research found some new htc unlocking services where hard locked phones are supported. just want to make sure before purchase, is anyone from forum members used that services before? really don't want to spend money for nothing. please advice.

Which service should I use?
You should never use an unlock service that will not refund your money when unsuccessful. Literally, they can do nothing to get the code and take your money, and say it was "hard locked" or whatever.
Also, your IMEI is personal data, and you should not post your IMEI on open forums. Nothing good can come from that, so please delete your IMEI from your post.
I've seen folks here recommend cellunlocker.net. But I can't vouch for that website personally.
Really, you should also seek remedy through the seller or eBay. The item is not as described, and you should be able to get a refund or exchange.

FWIW, my brother in law successfully unlocked my old htc one m8 that was locked to ATT a couple of days ago using unlockbase.com. Now using on Turkish carrier. Said it cost him ~10 bucks. Good luck.

Is it a stock rom or have you flashed a custom one?
I had to go back from Cyanogenmod 13 as the code didn't work. When I put the stock rom back on it worked first time.
Good luck!

You can use RUU. Or you some custom Sense ROMs will work, if close enough to stock. Or you can restore the stock TWRP backup from the collection sticky to the top of this Q&A forum section.
Or restore you own TWRP backup of stock Sense ROM. Which you should always make before flashing custom ROMs, root, etc. (assuming you didn't buy a used phone with custom ROM on it, and you modded it yourself).
Hi there, so about few months ago like back in August, I got myself an LG Wing after LG announced that they were going to close the mobile division. I live in Malaysia and I asked help from a friend in India to help me get one and send it over.
After getting it in my hands, and after I inserted the SIM, it says Network locked. I bought the phone unlocked but it turns out, the phone needs to be used with a SIM from the same country, perform a 30 minutes call and then it would become unlocked.
Given that I stay in Malaysia, its impossible for me to travel all the way to India to unlock a phone. That said, is there any way I could perform either one of the following?
- Get the Unlock Pin to be able to use with other network?
- Change the India Official ROM with a different country ROM perhaps?
Thanks!

You don't, unless you hopefully get lucky and its factory bootloader unlocked. There's no way (yet) to unlock the bootloader to root every lg wing, demo or not
Don't buy a demo model unless its just a phone to play with. Not a good every day use phone
