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.

Right, I'm really confused here.
I recently rooted my Desire and flashed OpenDesire as a new ROM. Since this, I decided to switch over to a deFrost ROM, and as part of the instructions I flashed to a newer radio.
Since this - the phone's been SIM locked. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a code from an eBay seller - code came through straight away, and when applying it, it states "Network unlock successful". However, when the phone fully boots, it's still not able to connect to the network - and when I reboot, it asks for the unlock code again.
I'm a bit clueless. Any ideas?
You need to root it again this time using a GoldCard,, more here

That seems to have done the trick - thanks!
You should try sim unlocking on custom roms, flash a generic htc rom (not a branded one) and try the unlock process again

Yeah, I think this was the problem - trying to apply an unlock code on a custom ROM doesn't seem to work. As soon as I'd reflashed to the stock ROM included in the Modaco root, it asked for the code and accepted it permanently. All good.

It worked for me, just I had to put the code in twice that's all.

I think it may only affect certain ROMs - for reference, I was trying to unlock when using OpenDesire.
Hi,
I have this same problem, how can i get back to the generic htc rom ( or which rom would it work on? i'm using opendesire atm)
thanks
also i'm on a mac so can't do the whole RUU.exe thing
Can not unlock my Desire
I hope I am not doing the wrong thing here by asking this. I have be looking around to find where to ask. Sorry.
I can not unlock my Desire because I do not have a GSM sim at my disposal to use.
I did not know when I bought the code that I had to have one on hand to be able to unlock. I did not need one for my HD, TP, & TP2. Any one have a suggestion?
I just bought a Desire SIM-locked to 3 network.
I installed Clockworkmod recovery and AuraxTSense 7.9, I made a GoldCard. Than I put in the Telia SIM, and of course I can not use the network.
I looked around on the web, and found, that it should ask for the unlock code, but it doesn't.
On the lockscreen it writes: Limited service - Emergency calls only
How can I unlock it?
I have a HTC One X, i have unlocker bootloader etc & installed LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V6.2.0, everything works, but, my phone is on Orange, but i was told installing a custom rom would allow me to use another sim (T-Mobile), but when the phone reboots after install the custom rom, it says network locked & will only accept an Orange sim.
Is there any custom rom / stock rom that i can use to get around this??
You need a SIM unlock code - whoever told you otherwise was wrong

Iw as told by Android.com to flash a custom rom & it would work, everywhere i try to get a sim unlock code from, says you have to wait a month after getting the phone,before the imei is registered!
Wish i had stayed away from HTC, not had any of this with the Galaxy Note
thanks for you reply

The carriers simlock the phones not HTC. Try ferraripassion on here, he sorted me an unlock code in 5 mins a few days after i got my phone.
Hi there,
I have just sold my HTC One X, which is currently SIM Locked to Orange. I tried to use an unlock code (same code provided by two different services) and it didn't work. I have a rooted phone with an AOSP Jelly Bean ROM running on it by Trip, and also his custom kernel. Would this be why the codes aren't working, and if so is there a way I can get this phone SIM unlocked?
Thanks in advance....

Hey, did you ever find a solution? Exact same problem.
Thanks
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?

ask the t-mobile
Hi,
Have a UK based HTC One X. This is currently locked to T-Mobile. Want to network unlock phone. Unlock code supplied does not work. Have tried a number of phone shops but none can unlock it.
Has anyone come across a way to unlock phone without a code????
Many Thanks

ask from T-Mobile the code and you must complete stock rom and stock recovery

T-Mobile charge £20. Also, reading on the internet, many are having probs getting the code from T-Mobile - waiting months and when code arrives does not work, etc... Don't really want to go through all this hassle with T-Mobile and also pay them £20 to mess me around.
Is there any way to network unlock the HOX without a code ???
Take it to a t-mobile store
I was on T-Mobile UK and sim unlocked it the day I bought the phone. The code worked on stock ROM. I'm using the phone on Vodafone now.
