Hi, I have a vodafone sim locked htc one x with stock android 4.2.2 with sense 5, bootloader locked, non rooted.
I think that it's locked to vodafone uk, but I'm not sure, currently I'm using it in Hungary with a vodafone hungary sim card.
The operator does not provide the sim unlock code for this phone.
I have purchased an online sim unlock code wich was unfortunately not accepted by the phone.
I have inserted a sim card from a different operator, entered the sim unlock code, but the code was not accepted.
I've got a refund for the non working code, but my problem still remains: I want to sim unlock my phone.
I have contacted several other companies that sell sim unlock codes, but they all provided me with that same code, and told me that it should work with stock android 4.1, wich I don't have and I don't want to unlock the bootloader, because I need the official warranty.
So, no code from the operator, provided code does not work, bootloader unlock is not an option.
What can I do to sim unlock my phone?
vodafone changes the sim unlock code, i've seen this on other htc phones, if you can't find a solution on xda, the codes bought from other sites will not work.

First I would contact your cell phone provider, Rogers, and tell them you are leaving the country and would like to have your phones sim unlocked. If they are decent and you have been current on your payments they should give you the code. When you get the code insert the Vodafone sim and when it asks for sim unlock code enter in the code they give you, and then if everything works. BAM you will be sim unlocked. The bootloader will still be locked, that is something completely different then the sim lock.

He will unlock your bootloader and your sim at the same time for $24US. It's worth it. Rogers, if they even give you the code, will charge you like $50 AND make you wait 2-3 months.
Jinx13 will have it done in under 30 minutes if things go smoothly.

I have 4 One X, which is sim locked. I obtained sim unlock code from my unlock reseller, which shows incorrect code in all the mobiles.
I tried changing more than 3 rom's with the same mobile cid for all the phones. After that also code is not working.
Also i tried another unlock reseller for code, but the code came was same as given by first unlocke reseller.
Is there any chance to read or find sim unlock code from mobile partition.
Actually in which partition the sim unlock code will be there.
How to view or check Dumped Partitions from HTC One X
Note:- All HOX are Generic, Endeavoru S-On, Not Carrier Branded like AT&T, Telstra, Rogers, CID is HTC__034...
Hy All,
I'm from Romania but I bought a Fire phone 64 gb, locked on T-mobile Germany, not from Amazon but from a Telekom shop.
I take it because of good price and also to try and test if will work on Telekom Romania network...it desn't work... but i was also prepared to buy the unlocking network code, and also bought that trough a friend....also updated to OS 3.6.6
Meanwhile, when i was in stand by to receive the unlocking code I inserted a romanian carrier sim card...input pin....the phone request the unlocking code...inserted a couple of times the numbers wrong...after dismiss and played trough menus..camera....after i closed the phone in waiting the unlocking code.
The code was send it to me after paying to T-mobile Germany ....and very excited open the phone to insert the code.....but now the phone is requesting the PUK code, instead of network unlocking code....I input the PUK code from sim card...phone says "unable the unlock the PUK"....it is normal not to be able to unlock the PUK because is still locked on T-mobile....and I figured out when insert the network unlocking code wrong for couple of times, the phone will block permanentrly the sim card.
I made it a factory reset, but after insert other carrier sim card the phone still asking for the PUK code and is not able to unlock the sim by PUK.
I have the phone...the unlocking code....good sim card....but i cannot proceed to insert the unlocking code because i played and inserted wrong...i think i am the only stupid in world who made this
Someone can help me with a solution? some combination of buttons...some hide menu to enter and insert the unlocking code?
Maybe if I will buy a T-mobile Germany sim card with activated roaming....insert sim....enter the PUK code of that sim, phone will be able to unlock that PUK protection over the network, and after insert another carrier sim will be able to input the unlocking code?
Regards and hope someone can help.

same problem here
Please help us.
First remove the romanian sim card from the fire phone and insert it any other UNLOCKED phone than try the change the sim pin code with your sim puk numbers. After that remove the sim pin request from the simcard than put it on your fire phone and try to unlock process again.

Hy All,
Long silence..because of work.
So... i send it back to Germany to test the method who was adviced from Telekom call center...I have talked with the support team from Telekom Germany and it seems to solve the problem it is must to insert an plan (abonament) sim card ( not working with a pre pay sim card) from the network who is locked ...it doesn't matter of who have the plan sim...one of your friend or in a shop...and it must be insert the PUK code of that sim and it remove this locking and registering to theyr system, and after will be able to insert any sim card and insert the unlocking code...this is what they told me on the phone...
They have tried and inserted several times an abonament sim card....same problem...but i think they and also people from Telekom shops are out of this space with technics/phones.... all tell me not working...now wait to send in service...maybe they reinstall the software.
Someone tried the method described above by the user "ease_the_pain" or an hard reset (vol. up + vol. down + on/off button in the same time)?
Maybe a hard reset will make the phone to start from beginning with unlocking request... if someone will make the phone work after hard reset please leave message asap...i want to avoid to send the phone in service and tell to my friends to send back to me..
Thx and Regards
Solved
Problem solved...Phone replaced with a new one.... new unlock code now exploring phone and settings....and apps
Hi guys,
I'm trying to sim unlock my phone to use with a different sim card in Europe. Currently I have the AT&T version of the phone. I am S-Off and I have used SuperCID. Unfortunately, I tried on multiple sites to buy a code to unlock my phone (related to my IMEI number). However, every site keeps telling me that they cannot find a code for my device. I checked and my IMEI does not appear to be blacklisted. What can I do now?
Thanks,
