Hi,
I bought my HTC One X used (in mint condition), and I try to unlock it via IMEI and it doesn't work... The thing is that in the phone box shows one IMEI and in the phone indeed a different one. I tried to buy both codes and no one works. THe phone is rooted and with a custom rom (Nocturnal Elements 4.2 AOKP), does it mean anything? Should I try to restore factory ROM and try from there?
Thanks!!

PS - I doubt you'll get it completely free.
Wilks3y, thanks for your message.
The problem is that I've already paid for 2 different IMEIs, several times. I get the same unlock code from all places and can't unlock my phone...

What is the model ID (MID)?
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal info).

Don't bump the post, just because someone doesn't answer immediately. I was in the process of typing a response, which takes time.
Have some patience. This isn't paid tech support.

This is suspicious. The MID noted in your getvar photo doesn't match, as it says 06PB10000.
Also, its s-off, which means someone may have modded the phone to change the MID and CID.
Was the phone claimed to be new and/or stock from the seller?
On the other hand, the phone appears to have the proper firmware for the 06PB10000 (international) version, which should support LTE band 7, according to specs posted online.
Are you sure you entered your carrier's APN info properly?
Does the phone get 3G data?

First I want to say thanks in advance to anyone reading this as I have been a long time visitor and this site has helped me unlock & root quite a few devices over the years.
Anyway my daughter was messing around with my wifes phone and somehow got all the way into the factory reset option and did it. Dont ask me how as im still wrapping my head around that one. Weird part is the phone wasnt rooted after (I thought it stayed rooted regardless but I guess not). I have since gotten it rooted but I am unable to find out how to unlock it and neither of our sim cards seem to work on it now. I typed *#197328640# into the keypad and went through the menus to do a phone unlock but as it is on 4.4.2 I was unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If needed it is a Samsung galaxy S3 SGH-1747.
Once again thank you so much for any help.
This is strange that the phone would become sim locked after a factory reset.
Was the phone sim unlocked using a sim unlock code or the free sim unlock method?
If your daughter got that far, is it possible she also somehow messed up the modem firmware or whatevs? Maybe try flashing a new modem?
(Careful, I've never done this and you could probably brick the phone if you flash the wrong one)

There's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/modem-4-4-2-modems-i747-i747m-t2856577
Definitely read through it though and make sure you have the right model, version, etc.
Is it possible to find (e.g. borrow from a friend) a sim card from the phone's original carrier to see if that works?
Hello. New to XDA developers. I recently bought an m8 in Nairobi, Kenya. Runs on android KitKat 4.4.3. There's a link where HTC has uploaded ROMs for android M for the m8, with links for the different carriers. When I bought the phone from the dealer I used a Safaricom line straight out of the box and it didn't need unlocking so I assumed it was an international/unlocked version. However, after looking up the IMEI on some online checker, the part with the Model says; HTC ONE (M8), 0P6B120 (AT&T [US]). Does this mean its an unlocked AT&T version? There's also an option for Unblock This Phone on the checker. Does anyone know any other reliable way for finding out the carrier version?
Plug phone to computer (with fastboot environment setup) then do fastboot getvar all, to find product name, CID, MID, etc.
Delete IMEI and serial number, if you post the getvar output here.

The fact it was not carrier locked is in no way an indication of the carrier version. Any version can be unlocked with the SIM unlock code (then put back in the box as "new"). And a good number of versions come SIM unlocked out of the box.
Hello, I have just bought LG G3 from Amazon, and its been a week and I updated to MM manually using LG UP, but now the phone is locked and says cannot be unlocked. tried everything but not luck.
I read everywhere that it is the thing with ROM, changing the ROM wont do anything. But my question is before I update my ROM my phone was working fine ie it is unlocked but now if ROM wont do any problem how my phone get locked and says permanently locked and cannot be unlocked.
Locked by what? Knowing that wwoul make easier to search for possible ways to unlock... McAfee?

Hello everyone,
So, I bought a A50 (A505U) Unlocked, but from SPRINT, on Ebay, when I was in the USA. I bought it to give to my mom, here in Brazil. When I got here and put my mom GSM sim card the A50 recognized the network of her operator (TIM), but an OMADM error of the SPRINT network appeared. So I`ve decided change stock ROM from Sprint to another unbranded one. Here is the problem, I`ve already tried several ROMs, but none of it recognized the network. I always got "emergency call only". If I put T-Mobile sim card, it works. I`ve already tryed countless versions, Android 9 and Android 10, with all CSC versions that I saw. I`ve downloaded many ROM versions avaliable (https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A505U), but I`m stuck with it.
I can`t change CSC with (*#272*IMEI#), because it doesn't work. I can`t root and edit CSC file, because U versions doesn`t have bootloader unlockable. And I can`t figure it out which ROM version will allow network.
Please, please, for the love of God, can anybody help me?
Did you manage to solve it?

I believe your phone was unlocked by a third party service. When you installed the U1 firmware. It removed the unlock.
That is why your phone must be displaying "sim card crashed".
Going back to sprint csc isn't really going to change this.
You will have to get the phone unlocked again.
You can go back to sprint csc. By installing U1 firmware and putting in the sprint sim card. Or by putting in a Verizon sim card and then using that *#272*imei# code.
I'm having the exact same issue with an used phone that I bought

What do you mean by "unlocked by a third party service"? How can I perform that?
