There will be no operator logo in the phone (I think)...u need to verify it with other providers sim.

Hey everyone,
I bought my HTC One X from 3 mobile in the UK and as expected it was locked to that network. I decided to get it unlocked as I was leaving the country. I got my code and it didn't work. I tried getting it again from my friend who does unlocking and still no luck. My phone had its bootloader unlocked using HTC dev method and it was rooted with Leedroid rom. I tried installing the stock rom on the phone and put the code back in and still no luck? What could be the possible issue? Is there any other way of sim unlocking the phone? I had to leave the country on very short notice so couldn't even get the chance to speak to 3 mobile about this issue.
Thanks!
Hi i have an unlocked galaxy s3 sgh-i747m telus phone it was unlocked i was using on fido i updated to 4.3 was working fine reflashed to 4.1.2 got bored with that and went back to 4.3 my s3 is not rooted i lost my unlock i took it into a cell phone shop paid $40 to unlock it the guy at the store tried there on the spot program to unlock the phone which should have taken 5mins he came back and said something about the phone being on 4.3 he couldnt use there program to unlock it so he would have to get it unlocked another way idk what he did it toom avout 40 mins he didnt give me the unlock code but the phone is unlocked when i go to my settings and click on scan for network operators it brings up telus bell fido and wind does that mean maybe my phone will now work with a wind mobile sim card?
You'll have to try and insert a T-Mobile SIM and find out if you need to enter a unlock code. If not its unlocked

If the phone was properly unlocked in the first instance, it would be impossible to lock it back again as the unlocking process should survive any firmware upgrade. I'm somewhat puzzled by your question. Could you please clarify? The only way to test if it is still locked would be to put a non-standard SIM inside (i.e. any non AT&T sim). If it requests an unlock code, then it means it was not unlocked at first.
Yes I did this I put non-att Sim card and it requests an unlock code
Before flashing it was working 100% without att Sim but now NO

Were able to use the phone with another carrier's sim card? After fixing your phone, it will only work with an AT&T sim card?
Yes it like this
I am wondering from where could I get back the unlock code.
Any way any idea

Did you buy a code? If you did, the unlock code would not have changed as long as the imei did not change.
If it was unlocked when you received the phone, you'll have to buy another unlock code.
I'm surprised it became locked after it was bricked. I didn't think this would happen.
Are there any firmware for unlocked sgh-i747.

If you are on a stock ROM that is 4.3 or higher, you must buy a code.
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?

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?
cheers and thanks

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

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.
