Does anyone know if it is easy to unlock a network locked One S. Of course everyone is advertising imei unlock codes but I'm not sure if they would be available straight away. Has anyone successfully done this yet? It makes a huge difference to me whether or not I get myself a contract phone (cheaper) or by a SIM free one
Yes, I am after the answer as well, hope to hear from anyone soon.
thx!
theres this guide, But its for the Sensation - its a similar device in terms of spec.
the values maybe different, but if someone understands what they mean (not me) they might be able to adjust it for the One S.

Sure it's slow, there are only 10 people who have it atm I will be 11th today hopefully.
Seriously, I wouldn't be too much worried, it's just first few weeks of its life. Which is exciting, I remember when I got my SGS in 2010. It feels great to be part of the development almost from day 1.

Very surprised to see this method in sensation. Cos to my understanding the SIM unlock is at network level rather than something you can alter on the phone. So I was wrong.
Hope the same method can be ported to one s in the future.
By the way, I know there are lots of website charges 10 or 20 pounds to SIM unlock devices, they send you an email with unlock code back short after payment is received. Just wondering if anyone had tried any website which does this for one s? Don't mind pay a small money just to avoid rooting.

I hate it when phones come sim locked it drives me mad, Ive never had a sim locked phone from vodafone,,,, Although every one ive had has been branded I hate that too
if u can get a code cheap enough do it, But i wouldnt pay anything more than £10 for an unlock code.. There will be a tool for free posted on here soon

Hey guys,
About to buy a SIM locked One S today, anyone made any progress on a way to remove the SIM lock?
Cheers,

I'm pretty sure the method from Sensation requires S-OFF.

I've unlocked my HTC One S a few days after release from t-mobile. I just called them up and asked them for an unlock code. Took HTC about 3 days to finally give me one but all in all took me less than a week since release date to get it unlocked. Hope that helps people? Took me another 2 days to find someone with a non-tmobile sim to actually unlock the phone but all is done now.
Hi mate, i got mine unlocked off ebay for about £3..unlocked within 5 minutes
I called T Mobile yesterday and gave them the imei for my One S. I got an email this morning from them with the unlock code. I popped in my ATT SIM and entered the code and poof it was unlocked. It works on ATT HSPA by the way, if you were wondering

Thanks - I had only searched under "One S" which is why I had not found that one!
Could anyone who has used an unlock code to successfully unlock their phone take a look at this thread and see if you can help?
We are close to getting a free sim unlock hack for all but need a few contributors for testing purposes.
Thanks!

Has anyone had any luck using a voucher code on HTC Watch app? I registered an account, it just never gave me the option to input a code. On top of that I've ended up spending £10 trying to figure out where to put the code and ended up buying Rango.
For those of you wondering you can get 60 pounds worth of movies for free from www.registration-htcwatch.com. It's just I've not been able to find where to put the bloody code.

you just change the CID
Yeah I found out about it today, as soon as I got it working I thought I would post it on here when i got it working since I hadn't seen any posts on it. As for the CID change, most people should be able to follow the instructions for rebranding your device in the rooting guide in development. Might save you writing a guide.
When i install a custom ROM, I shouldn't need to fiddle with my CID should I ? Since i already have a Vodafone branded handset.
Tried it just for the heck of it with my TMOUS branded S4G. Doesn't like my US phone number I guess. Bummer.

If you read the thread I provided, you would clearly see that myself and 4-5 other people have all successfully unlocked their phones using the method I shared.
my htc one x works on tmobile now. make sure youo change the apn after unlocking the phone so you can get data (edge only)
Okay, so. Rogers One XL and AT&T One X are basically the same device right? Same essentially all the way through? Would it be super farfetched to think that if one were to take the file that is modified by the HTCdev unlock for the Rogers One XL, and push it to the AT&T One X, that it would unlock it? I'm sure there's something making this completely illogical and impossible but I figured maybe I'd mention it, though I'm sure it's been thought of.
Unless I'm mistaken your unlock is directly related to your phone's iemi number.
I had a feeling that would be the case.

No sir.. the unlock code is unique to each device :-\
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda premium
I've proposed this several times in the last week or so and nobody has paid attention. I've yet to hear somebody say, for certain, what the unlock code is based on and I'm sure that we haven't fully investigated whether the code is really unique or whether that's just what we have been led to believe.
What we should do is start making a table of numbers (IMEIs, Device ID Tokens, Serial Numbers, Unlock Codes, etc) to see if a pattern emerges. Even if it is based on IMEI numbers, if we figure out how the number is arrived at (could it be as easy as md5(IMEI) or something???), we may be able to bypass HTCDev.
Billy
If I was a betting man I'd say the code is heavily encrypted.
Maybe HTC made it simple and easy for us to crack on purpose because they embrace the android community and despise AT&T as much as we do... Never know till you try.

One idea that I've had bouncing around is using the onboard storage as a virtual goldcard. Use it to load a phone image that has unlocked bootloader. I have no idea if such a thing is even possible

But the gold card needs to be separate from the actual storage and be able to be mounted and unmounted at will like a true gold card I would think]

Depending on how they encrypted it... it might not be so hard to work around though.
That said - it's probably public key encryption, with the phone having one half of it.
We really should get a couple examples of the inputs and outputs of HTCDev to look at though - you never know! People smarter than me may be able to deduce a pattern.
Such sad news, I literally got my device today!
The problem for me is that even though I could unlock my device now, the pull of users and developers to this device is going to plummet to zero on xda , there won't be any (or very few) ROM's, adopters will avoid the device... It's a horrible move from huawei who have a sponsor partnership with xda?? Xda have said they're going to fight it but my guess is huawei may look at their wallet rather than their hearts and stick to their guns.
By all accounts it's "to provide a better service". ???

In the same boat mate, received the phone on Wednesday, got the bootloader unlock code sitting in my email index waiting to be used....and now I see this.
In two minds about the whole thing, on one hand love the phone it seems pretty damn great to me, only want to root for 2 issues (not fault of phone, just personal preference) but on the other hand, lack of ability to unlock bootloader will kill the community here. Do I keep it, unlock and just roll with it, or do I send it back and get something else (Galaxy Note or S9+ probably, community there aint dead lol)?
Have to have a good think about it over the weekend I think.

Avoid the galaxy unless you like baggage and more rules, if I was to buy another phone it would be the HTC 12, no doubt about it.
Personally I've used the unlock code twrp installed and I'm rooted.
Phones a beast, I personally think Huawei will decide against their decision, by all accounts HTC did the same and look what happened to them
Currently looking at debranding from the L09 to the L29 as updates are more timely. Either that or wait for some ROMs to drop.
I'm keeping it now, it's swayed me.
Although I'd I could get the HTC I'd do it in a heartbeat, epic development on XDA.

Since the phone is treble enabled we can use GSI. So theres no "real" need to have an active development community dedicated for this phone only.

You don't necessarily need to convert from L09 to L29 to get faster updates, you just need to change region from 782 to 432. The L09 & L29 firmwares are interchangeable and are released together but it's UK specific updates that are lagging behind.
Saying that, I don't think there's a way to convert to 432 without being converted to L29 in the process anyway lol

Keep hold of the bootloader unlock code you got as if they go ahead with removing the service, they're likely to release updates in the future that will relock unlocked bootloaders on install. You should be able to re-unlock with the same code but it's a pain as an update won't wipe data but then having to re-unlock will ?

Just ordered the P20 Pro today after I upgraded my partners one yesterday to the P20. Its looks a fantastic phone so I had to go one better and get the pro.

It is but rooting etc has its benefits, you've only got to go on a few threads here to see that.
Plus who knows what the future holds plus treble is always an option
* I just got this phone 3 days ago *
I have not spoken with any tech support at all about this matter. I simply have been looking through everyone's post and I had came across the one where you put the special code in the dialer system. However, prior to that I had popped in my old SIM card from my pixel 4 that was already unlocked and then I did the check in. Went back to developer options and OEM was grayed out and said to connect to the internet. That was last night and obviously I put my new activated SIM back in since that time .Now today all of a sudden I get the notification that my device has been unlocked. I checked my T-Mobile app and indeed it said that my device is unlocked and ready for any compatible network.
I would also like to add that I did do the temporary unlock as well before I got the message . Not sure if that part was before or after I swapped SIM and did the dialer method. And yes I know that that wouldn't have done anything either by itself but maybe that also helped possibly fool the system into thinking I was already unlocked idk but thats it honestly. Could be luck but I wish you all luck at the same time !
I have pics for proof including the 800 I still owe on it.
you lucky dog there is another guy that did that aswell. i had to go to extreme lengths. to get it sorta done

tmobile unlock app (pixel only) is the app you need to temp unlock the phone. if your goal is oem unlock, that requires permanent

that dialer code just checks that you are connected to the internet maybe googles server as well, but not sure.

Does that only work if you're eligible?

I believe it does nothing but "check in" with a server to verify your connected to the internet

Okay I see what your saying I'm actually gonna do some more reading into that but I do know forsure it does exactly that check in to verify a connection to the internet and I assume by pinging googles server. The success notification is saying it got the ping back, meaning it's on the internet. Where the confusion I think your at is coming from is that the OEM unlock switch requires the internet purely to check if your phone can be unlocked or not (grayed out oem switch or not), so if it didn't instantly become available it is not going going to. When the device is fully paid off the switch, at least for t-mobile, will become available. But I appreciate you digging that up I have seen the title to that thread I just have never looked at it, knowing I'm more than likely **** out of luck, for now. New phone coming soon. I hope this makes sense

It's okay I went out of my way to do it lol and as for the phone then idk wtf happened something happened somewhere and at some point it ended up with me having it fully unlocked with $800 still left to pay .about to get a laptop soon to finally root. But on the T-Mobile app it says fully unlocked idk I'm happy. But now the 8 is coming out soon I have Jump! Upgrade so I can do it but I'm so cheap I held out for 4 years with my 4 non pro lmao
I have made some decent money this year so I swap around from my 7 pro, s22 ultra, and OnePlus 10 pro. I think I may trade in one for the 8 I just can't decide between getting rid of the 22 or the one plus. I'm leaning towards getting rid of the Samsung.

Lol it's fine and I'd get rid of the s22 myself if i had the choice. But I may just do the same and get the 8 but I wanna have fun with this phone first lol
