hi - i have a htc one x locked to orange uk, its totally original phone and never has never been rooted or modded before, i purchased an unlock code and the seller is 100% sure thats its the corrrect unlock code for the phone but it doesnt work, after several times of trying the code it still says " unlock code ir wrong".i thought perhaps unlock code was wrong so i bought another from another seller, it was the same unlock code....phone still obviously wont unlock...is this a deliberate ploy by orange to stop people using other sims in their phones.. I also have reset the phone to factory settings and tried with diffrerent sim like gif gaff, vodaphone etc but still remains locked and wont accept the unlock code. I have no reason to doubt the seller. im in the uk. Ive read somewhere that it may have something to do with the radio.zip whatever that is. To be honest im totally new at this modding lark so would be greatful if someone could walk me through this problem or help me in some sort of way. i would like to use my tesco sim in the phone. Thanks
Get the unlock code from orange/ee whatever it is called now.

That's the same reason I didn't get mine unlocked through T-Mobile (greedy @$$€$!) Got mine on eBay and it worked perfectly first time.
If the code isn't working for you and you got the same code from 2 sellers, it looks like your out of luck mate and you'll have to give your greedy network the money.

Hi,
Is it possible to unlock these phones so they're open to all network operators?
Thanks
Anyone?

Well my Mrs is getting her upgrade tomorrow (HTC One X), but I'm guessing its going to come locked to ORANGE UK network.. I'm in THREE UK network.. So my Sim card wont work in it... right?
I need to try & get it unlocked to all networks... or I'll just have to sell it.

They don't always come unlocked in the UK most carriers sim block it to their networks. Some don't some do.

You need to call T-Mobile and tell them you are going to Europe-town and ask for an unlock code

That's an HTC thing of rooting and getting sim unlock at the same time. Rooting this will only root.

The last few time I've called tmo for my phones and my friends', it takes less than 24 hrs for them tk send it. You can request one unlock code every 90 days.

Why would you need more than one unlock code?
Does the phone re-lock after a while?
I'm kinda surprised with all the stuff that goes on here that SIM unlocking can't be done without calling t-mobile or buying from ebay.

Unlocked phones are easier to sale. I don't keep my phone more than 6 months. Plus when I get the warranty or insurance replacement phones, I need to unlock those.

Hi I just bought an S3 from someone. However the android version is 4.1.9... I dont think its rooted either. Is it a fake? I hope not... Or is there any other way to tell?
Sounds like it.

Damn Got scammed. Is there a way to root this and unlock it, like this version? If so, can you link me?
How do I unlock it
forget unlocking. i'd be contacting the seller...
Its a fake phone man , contact the seller and demand a refund. Unlocking it and stuff is impossible as these Chinese phones have no development at all , try finding a phone with similar hardware z maybe that will help. .
ah right, I have seen methods to unlock these phones though. I have a giffgaff (O2) sim and it doesnt pick up any bars, I tried my EE sim and it picked it up. I dont think my phone is unlocked, is there a way to unlock it. Iv heard of SRSRoot is that the correct method?

Rooting and unlocking are two different things SRSRoot will probably root it but it won't unlock it.

Get your money back, if you paid with paypal contact the seller first and if he refuses do a charge back. Knock off phone's hardware is almost always terrible, which is why the price is so low. Even if you manage to root and install a custom ROM it will never be the same experience as having the actual S3 :\. Sorry to hear all this man.

I have tried about 10 different sites trying to get an unlock code for mine locked to vodafone ireland, none of them are able to yet due to not having the code on the carrier servers, all the websites have refunded my money straight away when they were unable to do it except for www.htcunlockingservice.com, they are trying their best to hold onto my money, saying that my IMEI is currently locked into their servers trying to get the code and if i try to cancel it will completely mess my IMEI making it impossible for anyone to unlock it... now i think they are lying out their asses but I don't want to risk it. can anyone confirm that this is true. I placed my order with them on the 13th of April. I would encourage everyone to stay away from them!
Hey,
This may be helpful for you as I had the same problem. A week ago I bought my m8 from EE UK (so basically the same thing as t-mobile) and unlocked it for somewhere around £8 from this site: http://sim-unlock.net/ . This should do in your case as well, try it .
Cheers.
Edit: just checked, it's €9.99 - the newest HTC database from 2013.

No, they were unable to unlock it, tried a few more sites since then and still no luck. At this stage i feel im never going to be able to unlock it, unless a new method for s-off come out.

No, I'm with Vodafone Ireland, I rang them and they said they would do it for €200! f that!
I used cellunlocker.net and I got the unlock code in 45 minutes. It cost $20.
