If the phone has Lollipop on it, there is no "free" hack method that will unlock the SIM. In that case, your best bet is to try paid unlock services available online.

Hi
Thanks for a very informative forum.
I bought a Verizon in the U.S. for 14 days and will be using this in Norway, I have read that there are some ways to open this to other telephone operators but has not been able to find something that works in Norway.
Does anyone have any tips?

I am using mine in japan so other Sims work, you will just need to enter in the correct apn settings for your carrier.

You need to either get SIM unlock code from Verizon or an unlocking website, or use an xtc clip to s-off and sim unlock. Then you should be good to go with sim cards.

Hi all
Can any one a method to sim unlock my SM-T705 ?
Same story. Locked to vodafone UK on a unit picked off eBay. Although my lovely seller claimed its unlockrd, i ended up with a locked item that vodafone uk will not unlock (even for cash) as i am not the original owner.
Any pointer appreciated

I purchased this HTC desire 816x from Amazon. It is a dual sim unicom version. I was wondering if they all come unlocked, besides the bootloader, and supercid. All I had to do was unlock bootloader and flash twrp. It was already supercid and s-off. It was purchased new. I'm just curious if anyone purchased this phone like this and if theirs were unlocked and s-off with supercid.

If it was S-OFF it couldn't have been new.
I thought desire 816 didn't have s off yet...
I purchased it March 2 or 3 and it was shipped from China a day or two later. It had the screen protector from the factory and all of the plastic covering the case and all that good stuff. I pulled the back cover and no refurbished sticker anywhere.

I have heard of other people getting such phones from Taiwan and China. They're all S-off and super-cid and they run sense 5.5 (probably illegally unlocked from carrier and sold outside china). I suggest you look into the update procedures as that's the most frequent problem people have had with them.
It is running sense 6. I'm not too sure about updating.

Sorry, I am a noob.
I am being offered the AT&T model for a very good price (about $200 less than the unlocked model). The issue is - I would like to:
1. run the non-bloat version
2. use it overseas.
So my question is - is this even possible with root and ROM? Or is there a hardware differance?
Thank you!!
Sorry but no. there is a temporary root but not possible to flash different rom yet.
Why not just pay for an unlock code from an unlocking service online? I've seen several people on here comparing the services.

They are 2 different things.
I know the difference between bootloaders being locked, and a phone being Sim locked. He said he wanted to use it overseas. All that requires is removing the Sim lock so that any Sim card would work in it. Purchase a code. Done.

Hey guys,
I read that the phone is "global" and sim unlocked, but I am wondering whether or not it will work with softbank particularly? I read that the service bands are different, but I cannot find any other source other than one, but people do say it should work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It is a global phone so it should work. However it makes little sense to buy a Verizon wireless m9 if you are not on Verizon. The phone is completely locked down and requires a Java card to turn soff. I would suggest looking at another carriers branded phone as most are cheaper anyways

I already have the phone. So I can get a sim card here and it should work?
It should be double check your freqs.
