So i got the phone and did a RUU to the latest us unlocked ruu on HTC's website. Everything went fine but now whenever i insert my simcard the phone locks itself and it says network locked? It was working fine before with no locks. Also tried the tmobile RUU, device does not lock but the device doesnt recognize my sim card and I get a notification saying to run the tmobile unlock app.
Any ideas as to whats going on?

Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.
T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?
Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?
I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.
Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.
First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering [email protected]?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.
Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps
I got an unlock code from Tmo and borrowed a AT&T SIM from my friend. She doesn't have internet, and I put in the unlock code in and it was unsuccessful. Then, when I got home, I tried using another AT&T SIM, but this one is not active. When I put it in and rebooted, and there was no prompt to unlock. Am I doing anything wrong? Or what is the proper way to do it?
Oh yeah, I pulled the battery when I changed SIMs.
Does it matter if you are stock ROM or a custom? Mine worked on stock just fine, never tried it any other way though.. Maybe a factory restore? It shouldn't matter if the non-carrier SIM is active or not either..
Im on Jugg 5.0....
Should come up as it detects the different carrier. Try making a call on the ATT Sim. You might already be unlocked for some reason.
Hi guys, I'm trying to network unlock my M8 to use in Germany. I've inserted the card and typed in the network unlock code that I bought. Unfortunately, it is hanging on "Requesting network unlock'
I have tried factory resetting the phone.
What can I do?
Thank you
Are you stock, which carrier?
AT&T Skydragon rom
Try stock rom if you can see if that helps. Do a backup of your current rom, flash stock then restore backup
I'd suggest go back to complete stock also.
thanks, going back to complete stock worked. However my SIM card is locked every time I turn on the phone.
What do you mean your SIM card is locked? Do you mean you have to enter a pin to unlock the screen?
Network unlock requested?

I have an HTC Desire 816 from Virgin Mobile currently on stock Lollipop. It was previously on CyanogenMod but I switched back to unlock the network. I'm trying to unlock the phone with a foreign sim card. I've been trying to get the unlock code prompt to show up by booting with the unauthorized sim in. I get a prompt to put the sim card's pin in, then I get an "invalid sim" notification but never an unlock code prompt. The sim is currently activated & it works in a different phone. Also tried a different sim that also has service, but same thing.
Tried rooting the phone & disabling system write protection to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44255011&postcount=10
I also tried different combinations of dial codes to get the unlock prompt to pop up. Nothing seems to work.
I thought about trying to get S-OFF next and checking the CID, but would this make a difference? No idea what else I could try.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I spoke with jcase he said sunshine should work now but it is untested on a v.m version,sunshine has network unlock for sprint devices and that's what v.m network uses
Hi, I live in london and bought a phone from ebay. Its listed as an unlocked verison and while my sim card _does_ work, its only for about 30 seconds and then it stops. I also get the "not a version card" notification message.
How can i fully unlock it so the card doesnt stop working?
would flashing a different firmware help at all?
thanks
