Did you unlock it?
SIM/carrier unlock should be different from bootloader unlock?
Do we have a way of getting this phones unlock code - or does this not apply to this device?
..CDMA device. Regardless if unlocked for another SP will not work on a GSM locked network in the US. GSM networks system will not recognize the CDMA IMEI.

So... I bought an unlock code because ATT was being an asshat and refused to give me an unlock code despite their promise to give me one.
I bought the code from cellunlocker, and I've tried all the methods except using a different sim. They all give me the same result: "The old pin you typed is not correct".
Do I have to use a different sim or is something terribly wrong with my phone? I'm going to China next week and I plan to use my phone.
Different Sim. Non att Sim

Tmo or simple mobile. Simple mobile sims are just a dollar on ebay or about 2-5 in craigslist. That is of course if you dont have friends on tmo.

Strange. I've sent an email to support, but knowing support desks, they will probably be idiots.

Nope, I think you need to buy the developer version.
Seems like it is unlocked.

It may be carrier unlocked, but the bootloader is locked down and I think that's what the OP was asking about.
Sim unlocked i mean

The phone is unlocked, multiple people are reporting using it fine on T-Mobile (the only issue is using LTE and 2G/3G at the same time, doesn't seem to be possible at this time)
Can't find any concrete answers. Does the M8 Developer Edition work on Verizon's network?
I want this phone so bad but can't stand Verizon's lockdowns!!
Thank you

Definitely NOT. The Google Play store mentions in a footnote that it will only work on T-Mobile & AT&T.

Isn't that the Google Edition? That will not work on Verizon. But I believe the OP is asking about the Developer edition.

It could still work, we'd need someone to test. The M7 developer edition supported T-Mobile but only on 3G/FauxG. But flashing the T-Mobile radio to it enabled LTE connectivity.

I contacted HTC yesterday. The rep told me that both the Unlocked (sim unlocked) and Developer models will operate on Verizon.

i ordered by phone due to checkout issues and the rep said theres no reason it shouldnt work
worst case scenario i guess is i send it back
I was under the impression the Dev edition was GSM only.

Possibly. But the spec sheet for our model doesn't mention the T-Mobile compatibility we've seen so far. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if HTC just used software/firmware to disable bands (or maybe not at all) in order to avoid making 5+ different pieces of hardware.

How long until it ships? If you get it within 12 days, I'll return my retail and go dev.

According to the website, yes. But it very likely has the CDMA radio hardware in there in order to save HTC the cost of manufacturing multiple devices. Much like how our locked model can connect to T-Mobile LTE, though you will find no mention of those bands being supported.

So....does it work?
The only devices that work with Verizon are ones that are "certified" by them. There has been talk of a developer edition specifically for Verizon.

Well, I guess that's a good point. I guess I'm just so used to instantly voiding my warranties every time I get a new phone or tablet I don't even think about that...
I was looking to buy a used Nexus 5 for a nominal price from eBay, but the phone is locked to a carrier that I don't want to switch to. Is there someone on the forum who can provide unlock codes? I tried doing Google searches, but all of them return unlocking guide for the bootloader. Has anyone unlocked their Nexus 5?
It comes unlocked. It isn't locked to any carrier.

This has come up many times. As the others said, All N5's, even those sold by carriers, are unlocked.
I would use the seller's ignorance against him to get a better price. Tell him it's going to cost you $40 to unlock it and that he's going to have a tough time selling it locked to a carrier. You'll take it if he knocks off the cost of unlocking
I buy phone in USA . Check imei in t-mobile . phone in white list . live in east europe . i click Permanent Unlock but write "Failed" . how unlock ?
you have to wait 40 days before you can ask T-Mobile to unlock your new phone.
maybe someone has a sample letter which should then write to t-mobile
i search video but I do not know whether it's true

This post is over a year. Service for this has been down in the past weeks. Tmobile really getting ahead here
yes i see that, but was worth a try for the exact reason you specified...most sites cant do it or are charging over $100.
Please post any solutions you guys find

So what exactly has T-mobile done? Why can't no one offer an unlock service via the app in a reasonable price? it used to be 30$ now it's over a 100$, why? And will it be back soon?

Thing is, I sent messages to ebay sellers offering unlock for $100+ and they're also saying service is down.
There's simply no unlock service for T-Mobile S7.
We must do something.

I used Swiftunlock.com to unlock mine less than a year ago. It was 20 bucks but was NOT swift. Took a couple of days to get the code but it did work and they sent other unlock codes as well but I'm not sure what they do exactly. I'm using my G930T on AT&T now.
How did you get to unlock your phone? Please advise
