I was hoping since I got mine a day ahead of official release, it would have been available, but alas, no love...

Also tried a number of Root apks and Sunshine, none of which worked. #HeyYaNeverKnow

I received my HTC M9 today. I received the same error when I tried to unlock my Verizon M9 in HTCdev... :crying:
Error Code: 172.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed (MID not exist in Model Rule).

well, shoot. I was gonna get to the local store tomorrow AM at doors open to race back home to beat VZW to the lockdown...looks like it's a moot endeavour now.
Thanks for the heads up and allowing me to not waste my morning tomorrow...:crying:

At&t, tmobile and sprint all allow htcdev to unlock, but oooooooh noooooooo NOT VERIZON.
VERIZON just loves to piss off their customers, just like no roll over data like tmobile and at&t.
REALLY VERIZON just WHO do you THINK YOU ARE ????????????
YOUR not KING of ANYTHING except for BULL DUNG LOL...

I received the exact same results this morning.

I really regret buying an Verizon M9 now. I've always ran InsertCoin on my previous HTC One's.. not being able to unlock and load a ROM is a bummer..

That, or you could take advantage of HTC's "Uh-Oh" carrier change... you may have ETFs, but no phone costs. (I think there are carriers that also will pay your ETFs)

The last time I saw a VZW HTC device slip past the HTCDev.com was the M7 very first day. I believe they've caught on since.

As far as I know, there's no working exploit for VZW M9s, you either need to wait for Sunshine (or something else), or find somebody with a javacard to S-Off/bootloader/root for you.
This is a VZW problem, liking to lock people in and imposing ****ty rules, HTC allows users of most all other carriers to unlock/etc. I got the same error when I tried to unlock when I first got my device..

HTC One X won't accept sim unlock code

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.

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!

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

[Q] One X (Orange UK) Sim Unlock Issues

Hi All,
I've been trying to perform a sim unlock on my One X (Running 3.16.61.6 software, CID ORANG001), however I keep getting an incorrect password when I input the unlock code. I'd previously unlocked the bootloader to root the device, but have since relocked the bootloader and restored a stock boot and recovery image, all to no avail. There doesn't seem to be an RRU that matches my software version available however.
If I go to the hassle of getting the phone to s-off, is there some way to then obtain sim free? This has clearly been a learning process, in the future I shall do a sim unlock *before* rooting or otherwise adjusting my phones! However my girlfriend wants my old phone now, and keeps pestering, so any help would be appreciated!
The codes seems to have changed lately from the carrier. On the stock rom, recovery and kernel it should work. The bootloader can be locked/relocked/unlocked. That does not matter.
S-off.......good luck finding a shop who can offer you such service !

Hrm, maybe it's a duff code then - just a little loathe to throw another £10 or so at it for the same code to arrive.
S-Off shouldn't be an issue, I've found plenty of advice on how to obtain it, just not how to get from there to sim-free. Obviously if it was easy, everyone would do it
Or do I just launch it back on eBlag and pick another one up that's already unlocked!
S-off is a problem on the hox. The methods floating on the net won't work (like rumrunner) only via a shop it can be done. At home is a no go.
And as for carrier unlocking it i have no experience, i always go for the unbranded simlock free devices to start with

Yeah, I didn't have much cash when I bought this one, and it was an orange branded phone so no problems.
Other option is to port the GF's number to EE.

EE is who Orange and T-Mobile have merged to form into. My new HTC One is on a EE contract. GF is on Three Pay as you Go, but IIRC I should be able to port her number over to an EE Pay as you go.
Ah thanks, i misunderstood that part.

[Q] HTC one m9 unauthorized sim card

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.

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?

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?

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
Ivan
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!

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.

How to Sim unlock HTC ONE M8?

**I'm an amateur at posting threads **
First I tried to SIM unlock by paying but none of those codes were working, after I rooted my phone, followed some threads and tutorials but none of them worked.
Any solution?
HTC ONE M8 :
-Android Version : 5.0.1
-Phone is European ( I am located in Europe)

If you are trying tutorials for other phones, they won't work; and you should stop doing that.
The only "mod" or "hack" (free) method to unlock the SIM on the M8 required s-off. And it no longer works on Lollipop.
Paid unlock services are probably your best bet. What pay sites did you try? I've seen cellunlocker.net recommended by various XDA members, but I've never used it myself (and can't personally vouch for the service). And those recommendations were on the One X (EVITA) so I'm not sure how well they can unlock the M8.

Go to AT&T's website, and fill out the form to get the unlock SIM code. I don't even think you need to be an ATT customer to do this. Although sometimes, folks have had problems with the device's IMEI not being found in the database.
I think a law was passed within the last couple years, that US carriers need to allow customers to SIM unlock their phones.

This worked (SuperCID gave SIM unlock) early on when the phone released, but hasn't been the case for quite a while now.
You can try S-OFF.

2: Flash twrp and SuperSU
3: Install SunShine S-OFF apk ( from: theroot.ninja )

Did you try other carrier SIMs before you were superCID? It may have worked then as well. It seems there is a good chance that you bought an unlocked phone.

So nothing, there is no proof that it was locked anyway. I know my stuff just like redpoint. My previous comment stays.
Who says it you haven't gotten a refurbished one, maybe it was factory unlocked already. Even new phones are shipped with s-off already !
I (we) have seen so many carrier locked threads here that i can tell you that s-off does not give you carrier unlock features. There is more needed and the tutorial that was active doesn't work anymore ! I'm long enough around here to say that with a 200%......
Have you even been reading up on this topic, did you have a read here about what's needed to achieve sim unlock ?

You *may* be able to install a ROM for that version, but you can't change the hardware, so I'd look in to what bands, frequencies, etc. that each can use.

Well, to be completely honest, I am still in the Learning stages so I don't know if it were pure luck, but I originally didnt flash any Radio. I literally just ran the RUU, popped in ATT SIM, and it worked. However, I did later encounter a problem possibly related to this. I tried to apply an OTA zip update, and I flashed the Unlocked OTA. Which ended up making my IMEI disappear and the fix ended up being flashing the Sprint radio to the device. I'm still not sure, but I think the issue occurred bc even though my MID is US Unlocked my device still isn't technically US Unlocked so it was the wrong firmware. As for SIM unlocking, I followed the same thread for SIM unlocking the M9 using the NV and Basic Flasher Tools and it worked.

Yes I can try to find it. Obviously it was more than just putting the SIM in, I had unlocked and S-off'd and what not before. I know it was the first Nougat firmware they had for the US Unlocked. I want to say I was on Sprint 1.81xXxX and the unlocked was 2.14xxxx. I'll look it up.

Thanks for replying.

Sorry it took so long, I was uploading the RUU I believe I used. I also have the sprint radio, stock recovery and a few other things in this folder. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ftaxcqmli8r0m40/AAANfuxJGiyyqaFWpAi6aDFfa?dl=0
And here's a link to the 1.80 US Unlocked RUU

Thank you very much for that.
I am currently SIM unlocked (NV Method), S-OFF and running Viper N with Sprint Radio. I am going to revert back to stock Sprint to replicate what you did.

Just so you know, Sunshine S-Off is all you need to sim unlock your phone.

I'm still unclear. I'm Verizon s-off. All I need to do is change my Cid to unlocked us then flash an unlocked ruu to change the radios so I can use T-Mobile? Of course I need to reflash twrp so I can get my Viper10 back on.

Are you positive about that? This was a Sprint locked device.

Verizon LTE devices are SIM unlocked by default to all carriers.

If you are on nougat firmware already, once you get CID setup, use the latest us unlocked RUU.
test everything on stock before throwing viper on

Yes specifically 4G LTE devices. Without touching anything you should be able to insert a SIM for any GSM carrier and it will pick up a signal, and yes ALL LTE bands but I believe you may have to convert to another radio for better compatibility.
All other things you better off converting to US Unlocked or T-Mobile. Those have WiFi integrated for supported carriers.
Totally worked with my Verizon phone. Changed the cid in fastboot and flashed a no wipe us unlocked firmware from sneakyghost. Unfortunately it wiped everything, but I was backed up, so no biggie. Thanks everyone!

Yes. I have a sprint converted to us unlocked on ATT network. I had to S-Off, then use ADB to change CID to 111111 and MID to 2PS65, then run the US Unlocked RUU off HTC website.

Sorry to dredge up such an old post, but google led me here. Do you know if it's possible to run the RUU off of HTC website on Linux? I tried installing HTC SyncManager via Wine and it kept crashing.

It depends what format the RUU is in. If it is .exe then no. If it is .zip it should work
