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!!

HTC One X carrier unlock wont work.

Hi
I ordered an Carrier unlock from my operator 3 but the code doesnt work.
Why is that? Im on stock ROM and nothing custom.
I even called HTC and they have the database of the IMEI and codes and will check if the provided code is correct. Maybe they can unlock it. Waiting for a call from HTC 2.
I hope they cant sort it out.

Had the same problem with my One X on orange UK got three unlock codes from three different companies and they all did not work.Flashed back to stock rom and this still did not work and then I read I need stock recovery as well and this did not work either.I have looked on various forums and its the same issue and no workaround.On the O2 forum someone had the one x and they could not unlock with the code provided by the carrier. O2 suggested this guy send in their phone to get it unlocked by them and THEY couldn't do it, which suggests it could be an HTC thing but I have no idea. I am stumped as well as very annoyed, I do realise that this isn't the help you require just thought I would share my experience.

SimUnlock

Hi all, I recently bought a new htc one m8 on vodafone ireland. I'm on a different provider so i bought an unlock code on line and it didn't work i got (incorrect password). I haven't registered the phone on any network as of yet (its brand new). My question is, Do i need to activate the phone on vodafone first, Then put in a working foreign sim to unlock with code i received from online provider?

Generally speaking, no, you don't. If it came from them, then it's already locked to them by default. You just need to enter the proper unlock code with the new sim. Another option to consider is that pretty much all M8s can be made s-off now(albeit for a small fee for the app that does it). Once you're s-off, you can just sim unlock it yourself without the need to purchase any codes. That's what I did. The instructions are here in the forums.

Thanks, Thats what i thought. The provider i bought the unlock code from told me to activate the phone on vodafone, Then put in a foreign active sim and it should work. But i put the code in incorrect 4 times, twice cause i thought i put it in incorrect and another 2 times to record it(take pictures to get a refund for wrong code). Do you know how many times you can enter the incorrect code before blocking the phone?

To be honest, I'm not really sure...I want to say about 5-10 depending on your device, but again, I'm not really sure.

If you go with SunShine to S-Off you don't need to unlock using HTCDev, as the latest version of SunShine performs the unlock as well as the S-Off without HTC knowing and without loosing APPs in /data such as calculator and flashlight.

[Q] HTC one m9 unauthorized sim card

Hello guys, sorry to bother. I am contacting you to see if someone can help me, i´ve searched and searched the web without any luck. Almost three weeks ago i got here in Mexico an HTC one M9 from Telcel, I have two mobile phones two lines one telcel one iusacell. I needed to change the iusacell phone but did not like what they had. I got the telcel phone HTC one m9, and it was unlocked from telcel, i put my iusacell sim and worked great. Strangely after two weeks, the screen intact, with not a bump and a glass cover, internally failed and i sent it to a authorized center from the provider, they sent it to HTC and HTC sent me a brand new phone.
This new HTC one m9 works perfect with the telcel chip, i inserted the iusacell chip and it gave me message "UNAUTHORIZED SIM CARD, EC calls only". I assumed it was normal, went and bought the unlock code and tried to enter it, but i noticed it never popped the network unlock screen, it always pops the UNAUTHORIZED SIM CARD EC CALLS ONLY" message on the main screen and the only thing it lets me do with the iusacell chip is place emergency calls. no codes, not even to check imei.
I´ve been looking for support with no help, when entering the unlock code and hitting call (no ok button) it tells me its not an emergency call.
Searching i found that its probably that in the service menu (mode) they deactivated the network unlock screen, but i have not found how to get into the service mode of the phone, everywhere for older htcs they say its *#0011# but no luck, the only codes that work are the *#*#4636#*#* and the 3424 but none of them help me.
What can i do? I prefer to use my iphone for that line and use this phone for my other line which is on a different carrier.
Any ideas or help?
cheers and thanks
Ivan

They gave you a new phone, new motherboard and it's not unlocked. I would assume. It'll probably need to be simple unlocked again. With the first phone you had to request that it be unlocked right?

Strangely enough the first phone i bought came unlocked, i had purchased online the unlock code but when i inserted another sim i did not require it. The problem with this replacement M9 is that although i´ve already bought the unlock code the screen never prompts for the network unlock code. When i insert a different sim that from the carrier (telcel) it prompts an "UNAUTHORIZED SIM CARD; ER CALLS ONLY", i´ve inserted IUSACELL MEXICO SIM, ATT USA SIM
TMOBILE USA SIM all with the same result.
cheers

I know with the T-Mobile phones, or at least I'm pretty sure, we have to flash an international rom to get that screen to come up. Kinda sucks but maybe that's the problem?

Thanks I was considering it, i think its a possibility, although, i havent searched much but there is still no way to free the bootloader of an HTC one M9 and im sure myne is pretty locked up =(
cheers Ivan

You can unlock it or s-off , but a-off is $25. Unlock is free on HTC Dev unlock. It's pretty easy, have you used HTC dev unlock before?

thanks yes i´ve used it before, but HTC still does not list as an option the M9, only the M9

It works I've used it. You have to select the very bottom option, it says something like all other models

I finally got the bootloader unlocked, root and s-off, now the question would be what rom should i flash in order to get the unauthorized sim card message out when i insert a different carrier sim, so the network unlock screen pops and i am able to enter the unlock code?

I used ARHD to unlock my T-Mobile m9. Prior to that I also wasn't getting the option of putting in sim unlock code similar to yours. However once you flash and sim unlock it, you can flash any rom and the sim unlock will stick. Good luck.

Thanks =) i did manage to get a new rom into it ARHD and interesting enough when inserting a different carrier sim now I do get the network unlock code screen. I tested the pin i had bought and it did not work, I asked and they told me they will try to find it out. I did try a few more services to buy the code but they all tell me that they cannot find my IMEI in their database. This i find really strange, does anyone know what can it be? I need to unlock since i will be travelling to the USA and want to put a prepaid card into my phone.
cheers
Ivan

I had the same problem as you. My HTC was originally from T-Mobile, I unlocked bootloader, flashed latest TWRP recovery, rooted and S-off'ed. After that I also set CID to BS_US001 and MID to 0PJA11000
After that downloaded Developer Edition RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948 (use the 1.32.617.30 RUU.zip, using the 0PJAIMG.ZIP method), after that you will be prompted to insert unlock code and receive latest updates, hope it helps!

This is for not found service, http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-not-found-Unfound-unlock-code-for-Telus-Kado-Wind-Bell-solo-AT-T-T-mobile-/281679367246?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item4195660c4e
If you already bought and received an unlock code there is a big probability that you had a typo with your imei maybe. Usually when you receive an unlock code they tend to always work. Hope it helps

Hold on there's a tested and working free sim unlock in here somewhere! I have used it and multiple others, let me try to get the link.
