sim network unlock pin?
OK, I know simular queston have been asked, and i'm not a total noob,so please dont flame me.
I have searched and looked but cant seem to find an answer, either i'm being dumd (possible), or missing something.
I have three phones
1: nokia 5800.
2: nokia 6030 on contract with vodafone.
3: HTC desire on contract with t-mobile.
and three sims
1: virgin PAYG
2: vodafone month contract
3: t-mobile on contract
My problem is on the desire,
I can use the virgin and t-mobile in it fine, but if I try to use the vodafone sim it comes up with "sim network unlock pin" and asks for an 8 digit number.
I can use all three sims in the other two phones ok, the problem is only the vodafone sim in the desire.
The desire has been rooted, s-off,
I have run the sim unlock utility via the boot ISO "HTC_Desire_Unlock_v0.2a.iso" ,couldn't get the win version to work on Win7.
The radio file was 32.54.00.32U when I tried to use the sim, I downgrade it to 32.49.00.32U and ran the simunlock utility again ok, but the problem still occurs.
On HBOOT-0.93.0001
Running Leedroid 3.0.8.2, tried cyanogenmod 7.1.0-rc1 and still same problem
any ideas, because i'm stuck.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hi, I'm new to this forum. How do I unlock my HTC Wildfire S without paying for it?
If I root it, will I able to unlock it? :S
Welcome to xda-developers.
As in most fora, you should start reading existing threads.
In short:
If you have CDMA device, unlocking without a special hardware has been figured out.
If you have a GSM device, unlocking without the so called XTC-Clip is not yet possible, but first approaches have been made to even unlock those devices.
Probably it's just a matter of time.
Third big hope is, that maybe Wildfire S gets supported by HTC to unlock bootloader. But this won't make Wildfire S S-Off after all, it will just let you install custom roms and root your device. Radio and stuff will be still locked.
So please take your time to read around a bit.
So How do I find out of my device is CDMA or GSM?
gms= sim card
cdma= no sim card
Phone: HTC Wildfire S (Virgin Mobile US) A510c
Rom: stock gb 2.3.4 / sense 2.1, rooted (s-off)
Recovery: still playing around
Hboot: 1.06.0000
I would also recommend *NOT* flashing any of the available custom ROMs available to you at this time. In my uneducated opinion, they are GSM roms, incompatible with CDMA phones. So if you do indeed have a CDMA phone (virgin mobile), as I do, don't flash anythin to it. Rooting should be fine.
true that (already bricked a phone installing cm7)
cdma atm only has 1 rom working but it's got several bugz
Take a look at the website of your provider:
http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/networks/network_info/gsm-gprs.html
I guess you have a gsm device.
so not even after htc gave away bootloader unlocking this isn't possible?
HTC Wildfire S Marvel NO SERVICE issue.
has
UNLOCKED Boot loader,
S-OFF
radio is 2.26.771...
Clockworkmod recovery installed.
nandroid of stockrom is safe and backed up.
currently Wildfire s is running ICS.
Problem:
This problem occurs on both on stock with locked and unlocked bootloadder and on custom ROM,
Only VODAFONE UK network works i can make and receive calls.
T-mobile uk cannot make calls when i try to call ends BUT 3G WORKS FINE.
ORNAGE UK = NO SERVICE 2g/3g does not work.
GIFFGAFF = NO SERVICE 2g/3g does not work.
3 = NO SERVICE 2g/3g does not work.
What could be the problem?
can anyone please help!
thanks,
p.s. i already have bought network unlock code which i cannot enter when i try with unsupported sim.
Hi there, I picked up an HTC One M9 for a good price from China and overall I am pretty pleased with it however it seems to be wired for CDMA updates only and so it is stuck on Android 6.0, as attempting to update it says that updates are only available over CDMA networks.
Rebooting to bootloader It tells me
*** Software status: Official ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
*** S-OFF ***
I have tried using a wide selection of RUU files to update the phone and pretty much every one of them gives me an error. For example RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.30.617.12 takes me through the install process, reboots the phone to the bootloader and after several warning screens tells me that it will update from 3.37.605.19 to 4.30.617.12 The phone shows it is uploading, but then quickly ends up frozen whilst the PC dialog shows:
ERROR [132]: SIGNARURE ERROR
Exiting reboots the phone back to the starting condition.
I've tried all of the RUU files that I could find (with a higher version) and had the same error. Not sure where to go next, any help very gratefully received!
Cheers,

Please take a look at the ReadMe thread. It will tell you why you can't use 4.x RUUs on a phone with a 3.x firmware and why you should never try to flash a GSM RUU on a CDMA device.

Thanks for your response and the redirect to the readme I can see that the RUU update path is not going to work. Is there any way to switch this phone to GSM or is it permanently stuck add a CDMA device?
Cheers

It's permanently stuck on the CDMA firmware. Those are two completely different technologies.
However, the CDMA M9 supports some GSM frequencies so it shouldn't be completely useless for you. You probably just won't get LTE with it.
In regard to android updates: I don't know whether there already is an android 7 update for the verizon variant (verizon is super slow). If there is you might be able to update the phone with an unofficial firmware pack (like the ones that Sneakyghost provides) since you already have S-OFF. Although Sneakyghost himself doesn't provide ones for verizon phones you might find some in the verizon M9 forum. Afterwards you would only need to re-flash the corresponding 4.x RUU (assuming that you want to stay on the stock rom - otherwise you could directly flash whichever custom rom you want to use).

If I were to pursue this strategy would the end product be a phone that had flipped to GSM and could connect to 4G? It feels like the difference is not a hardware one - that is the phones must have the hardware to go either way right? Or do they have a different comms chipset?

You cannot flash a GSM firmware on a CDMA device (or vice versa) without damaging it unrecoverably. The partition layout isn't the same. All you can do is upgrading or downgrading your firmware but switching your SKU (even if it's another CDMA one*) will result in damages. The difference between GSM and CDMA phones lies within their hardware and their software. Although newer CDMA phones support some GSM frequencies and are therefore able to connect to some GSM networks they still aren't able to get G/2G/3G/H+/LTE on every carrier's network.
* Not even the different CDMA variants of the M9 share the same partition layout.
I've bought second hand m9 , this last was flashed and rooted because I found supersu integrated with it, the problem is some settings are missing comparing with regular m9 like mobile network sharing for example, is there a way to fix the problem?
First of all, never use a second hand device without reinstalling the whole OS. I factory resetted my M9 right after buying it. (And rooted it, etc...)
Just look at you CID and MID and find the latest RUU for your phone and install it.
Maybe the person that had it before removed the certain settings, because the HTC settings app is quite modular from what i've seen. The settings app is split into many apps. Probably when debloating it he accidentally deleted that. (For example, if you install HTC's chinese performance management tool, a new setting will pop up in the settings app. Same with Sense Toolbox)
Or if is already rooted, just install S-Team ROM (sun_dream's ROM).
where can i find cid mid numbers?
and what is the best rom should i install?

I suggest you first install stock rom.
I have been searching for a while for how to update the rom image
I checked my phone and I found the following information:
***unlocked***
htc_himawhl pvt s-off
cid-11111111
os-3.41.651.4
feb 3 2016
I believe that my phone was for developers, so I downloaded devRUU "HTC One M9 4.30.617.12" from HTC website and I tried to install it but I got error 132 (get the correct RUU...)
I switched to another RUU "HTC One M9 4.27.651.4", but I got the same error error 132
I've tried to get my CID and MID numbers using CMD but I've got nothing, it shows me:
CID:
MID:
nothing, blank, no information. after some research I realized that it was CID free "unlocked"
the main question is, how can I upgrade my system to get my full setting options? I appreciate your help
Forget whatever you read. It's wrong and you should thank whichever god you believe in that the dev edition RUU didn't get flashed.
First of all, you own the Sprint version (SKU 651) which is a CDMA device. The dev edition RUU (SKU 617) is meant to be used on GSM devices only. Those are two completely different technologies used by different US network carriers. Flashing GSM files on CDMA devices or vice versa leads to unrecoverable hardware damages in most cases since those versions have different partition layouts. It's not even safe to flash Verizon (another CDMA carrier) files on a Sprint device or vice versa since even these models use different layouts.
Second, there is no such thing as an HTC phone without CID. The dev/"unlocked" version has CID BS_US002. If the app doesn't give you any info then it's not working. In addition, it's recommended to use the current firmware version for finding the correct RUU instead of MID and CID. With the latter you still need to guess a lot whereas the former gives you the exact version of the RUU that is flashable.
Btw, you should get rid of the SuperCID your phone is currently using (11111111) since it causes more problems than benefit.
You'll never be able to flash a 4.x RUU on a phone that uses firmware 3.x. The encryption keys changed between those two firmware versions. You'll need to update the phone by using unencrypted files (OTAs or - if you have S-OFF - custom made 4.x firmware packs). You should have S-OFF since getting the SCID is impossible without it (the same applies to getting rid of it). However, Sneakyghost doesn't support CDMA devices so I don't know whether there are any custom firmware packs you could use.
If I were you I'd take the time to carefully read the ReadMe thread and to make sure that I understand everthing. Then I'd use the conversion guide for getting rid of the SCID (you can ignore the warnings if you use a RUU for your current SKU 651). Afterwards, that phone should be able to receive 4.x OTAs so that it can get updated to the latest firmware.
Sidenote in regard to the original question with the missing settings: I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken then it's completely normal that Sprint models lack the network sharing option since that carrier doesn't allow it and therefore asked HTC to remove that option.
what a wonderful explanation, it's all clear, thanks a lot!
one more question,
how do i know for sure that my M9 is CDMA and has not been only changed to sprint rom version ?
I've googled for the differences between CDMA and GSM, I found that CDMA network basically depends on the device itself, whereas the GSM network depends on the SIM card. However the Sprint HTC One M9 had a nano sim slot in it in order to connect to GSM 3G and 4G bands, which were not devloped yet in CDMA networks. if this is right, could I still use my GSM network through 3g or 4g?
Since LTE is a GSM-only technology there are not many "pure" CDMA devices, anymore. Nowadays, all CDMA phones support Sim cards and some GSM frequencies. However, that doesn't mean that you can get reception with every GSM carrier if you own a CDMA phone since different carriers use different frequencies. In addition, one and the same carrier might even be using different frequencies for its network depending on the location. You'll have to try out whether you can get mobile reception with your current carrier and that phone.
Assuming that no one tinkered with the hardware of that phone, you can find out its original MID by taking a look at the engraving on the bottom of the back side (c.f. the FAQ of the ReadMe thread).

actually the phone can read my gsm sim card, I have no problem with that except I want to make sure if it is CDMA version or not
I've looked everywhere in the internet but I didn't find a direct answers
Mhm... That MID belongs to the T-Mobile US (GSM) model. But your firmware is a CDMA one. The question is whether your phone still has its original backplate or not. Normally, cross-flashing GSM and CDMA will make the phone failing to recognize sim cards.
You could contact HTC and ask them whether they can tell you what kind of M9 you own with the help of its IMEI.

yes it does recognize my sim card
thank you very much for your help:good:
I'll try to contact htc to solve this contradiction
I'm facing same problem....
Dear Leo-pard,
could you please help me out....is your problem solved after chatting with HTC Customer care..
I'm facing same problem as my HTC M9 is also not showing Mobile Network Sharing Option....
Please help me out also....
I'll be waiting for your reply...
A lot of carriers charge extra for hotspotting. More than likely mobile network sharing will be off because the carrier wants you to pay for it. What I don't know is if it is coded into the firmware or not.
Hey @Flippy498
I have a sitting HTC m9 and like you said have missing mobile network sharing settings. My phone is s off with locked bootloader.
What can I do to use USB tethering it mobile hotspot? Can I use a third party app to use them?
Thanks
