what do you mean branded or unbranded?is it fake or orginal?
how do i know if it is branded?
i think its all original cause i alredy rooted it and flash it to 6.5.1 XE

when i search network and select the correct network for my simcard it says
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"
what does that means

Seems like you need to get an unlock code.

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

I unlock my tp2 with the cdma unlocker while my phone was in SIM mode. I checked the security on the phone, and it's saying "Your phone is SIM Unlocked". I need help relocking the phone so i can unlock the cdma on this phone.

then you gotta remove your esn of the touch pro from boost mobile call them and tell them you want to remove the esn and then activate your new esn
i try that, and when they asked me to hit ##3282# i was unable to access the msid code to switch it to my number. the phone is unlocked with the new unlock tool.

HTC One S on Orange - Can I remove SIM lock without an Orange SIM?

I am getting an HTC One S that is locked to Orange UK. I'm not in the UK and I'm having a friend ship the phone to me. It is an S4.
This will be my frist Android device, so I'm a bit clueless. I plan on ultimately changing to stock EU firmware, rather than Orange firmware.
Can I change the firmware and remove the SIM lock (I assume simply changing the firmware won't do this?) without an Orange SIM? I have read the threads on how to remove the SIM lock so I'm confident that I can do it, I just don't know what functions can be accessed on the phone without a SIM having never had an Android device before.
I have an Orange uk One S now running trickDroid v7 & if you want to remove the Orange sim lock try this Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491

Thanks, I appreciate the reply.
I have been through that link, I just want to check if I can follow that process without having an Orange SIM in the phone at the time. I'm not sure what parts of the phone can be accessed without a SIM in it.
I've not tryed the sim unlock as yet but use without a sim in connect to play store via wireless will work most of the process is done via the app or cmd prompt so should be workable!

Great, that answers my question then, thanks!
No you don't need an Orange SIM card. The SIM unlock procedure actually required you have a SIM from a different provider so you're good to go with what ever SIM you have. Once you insert a SIM card other than Orange SIM, it will ask for a SIM unlock code.

Reset network number counter.

I need to reset network number counter because I buy a AT&T HTC ONE X in ebay but when i need to insert network code it says is wrong. The problem is not the code but the seller is inserted wrong code and the phone is blocked. Is possible to downgrade phone from 4.1.1 in 4.0.4? Or is another method to reset network counter number ?
Thanks in Advance.

what do you mean 'network code' and 'network count number'?
I mean when insert another gsm card not AT&T the phone need a code to unlock.

OK - got you now. You can buy phone unlock codes on eBay too.
Maybe some other member here can tell you a reliable seller as I've always had unlocked devices.
I don't think changing roms will help you any.
I have the code but the wrong number is inserted by the seller and the phone is needed to reset network code numbering.

If the phone is rooted you can use the JET tool to downgrade your hboot and then run a 4.0.4 RUU but if you have superCID you will not be able to upgrade to 4.1.1 unless you S-OFF first.
Ofcourse, I have no idea if RUUing to 4.0.4 will help your situation but that would be the method to do so.
If you do not have root, you can use the 3.18 root method and then S-OFF and then RUU to 4.0.4
Edit: So I have managed to return to stock 3.17 Telus RUU relocked and S-ON. Now I will find the fastest way to unlock and SuperCID and then update here.

Are you using your phone outside the US or in the US with a different carrier? I've had moderate success using the international version of some of the ROMs. Right now I'm on ARHD 11.1 with the stock VZW kernel flashed after letting it boot up once, and it works just fine. No roaming triangle or incessant roaming notifications, and no warning about non-Verizon sims. This was I can control my roaming for leaving my sim card's network, instead of being on always roam.

Try a different (non-AT&T/Rogers) SIM for starters...
I recall a "No SIM" method kicking around, I just have to remember it.
UPDATE: From offsite...
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card
2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#
The phone is now unlocked.
If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:
1. Turn on the phone with a foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card
2. Then enter the following sequence:
#0199*Unfreeze/Defreeze#
#0111*NCK/Network#
#0121*SCK/Subprovider#
#0133*SPCK/Provider#
The phone is now unlocked.

According to the phone specs versus the Vodaphone frequencies, you may be stuck with 2G as well.

Yikes. Try without a SIM, and see if the message (including the lockscreen msg) is any different.
You may have a bent or broken pin in the SIM tray...
