Do I need to buy one, or is there a good chance my local phone unlocking shop will have one of those?

Sorry, can you be clearer? My phone is SIM locked to UK T-Mobile.
ok have you got the nand security off your phone? when u turn your phone off and hold the volume down and power key it will take you to a bootloader saying s-on or s-off which one does it say?
i have revolutionary s-off and custom rooted rom, simlock is still there, how can i remove the simlock?

ok first you need to s-off your phone which tutorials can be found here everything you need should be in this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
and also after the s-on part you saw did it say what hboot version it was using?

You can't sim unlock the desire s via software. You must use XTC clip. You don't need to buy one, just find a local store with an XTC clip where they charge you a small fee for sim unlock.

Edit your imei number out of the post, and try hitting the reboot option and see if it boots. They probably meant carrier unlocked

Care to provide details of what you may have done?
The bootloader screen you posted is not the problem, they always say locked at that screen until you either unlock it or relock it. Locked bootloader as has been mentioned is completely different than SIM unlocked for any GSM carrier.

Is there any way to unlock bootloader on at&t evita one x that has had the ota JB update?
Unfortunately, I did not root this phone prior to applying the update.
Any help/answers are obviously welcome.
I have tried going through the htcdev.com hack, but get the following error after entering my token id: Error Code: 160.Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.

At the moment there is not.
At the very least you need to be able to gain temp root access in order to change the CID to allow you unlock it through htcdev.
The error you get is because AT&T don't allow bootloader unlock through htcdev.

Is that something new that came with the ota update? I only ask because prior at&t evita one x's (2.20.502.7 ruu) had no issues with the htcdev unlock process
No it's been that way since the beginning.
With the 2.20 RUU there was an exploit so you could change your cid to another carrier or supercid which allowed you to unlock it through htcdev.
You still couldn't unlock it if it still had AT&T's cid on the device.

Has this been resolved? I'm following Hasoon 2000's guide to unlocking the bootloader on my htc one x (ATT) and there are many people who have had success and are posting on Hasoon's thread as recently as a few hours ago, so I'm assuming it is allowed now, but I'm still getting the error 160 code. I'd like to post directly on that thread but I'm a noob and don't have the minimum number of posts...
Any help appreciated
Bump
If you have the latest ota update, you will be unable to gain temp root. You have to change your CID to be able to unlock bootloader with HTC dev. Unless you were s-off, there is no way at this time to accomplish this.

the 3.18 update introduced system write protection so even with root, one cannot alter the CID unless one is S-OFF.

There is no method to unlock the sim right now regardless of root, s-on, s-off, whatever. No one's cared to look for one. I would but I don't have another carrier sim to test with.

as of the moment, that's correct.
It can be used on whatever network it came from. Other carriers sell the evita too. You can always try contacting the Carrier and requesting the unlock code or buying an unlock code from an unlock service.

I want to root my HTC One X on AT&T, with 3.18. I have also searched, and come up with nothing. So the "one word - search" is not helpful, why even post that? I can see it being helpful if you posted your search results on how to do it, but you didn't.

hi,
is there any methode to unlock sim without s-off or root ?
Call your carrier and ask for the code. Depending on your carrier, it may or may not cost extra money.

Then no... you must be rooted, or s-off to use the methods posted in the forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16932841)
Like I said, your other option is to call your carrier to see if they will provide the sim-unlock code for free.

what he mean by clear S-58 data by selecting appropriate options.??
First of all, to use the second method, you need to be s-off to downgrade your firmware to 1.17. After that, you need to put the diag file on your SD card and clear s58 data.

Hello I'm about to send my phone for a repairs to HTC. I'm currently rooted, tampered, s-on and with custom CID 111...
Any suggestions what I need to do? I mean I'll lock the bootloader and install stock RUU but is it enough? Or nothing will help they'll know that it was rooted?
Your bootloader will still show RELOCKED... The only way would be S-OFF.
And don't forget to replace the CID.

Yes, it's correct. I suggest that you use Hasoon's All In One Toolkit, though: it helps a lot automating things (avoiding command line) if you are not very familiar with these things. You can find it in the development subforum.
The point is writing the correct CID. Do you remember if your software was customized by your carrier (e.g. with carrier-related apps)? Do you have your carrier name physically printed on the phone? Not all phones sold by carriers are branded: for example, I bought it from H3G but it's unbranded.
If this wasn't the case, I would go with the generic UK CID (if exists), or with the international CID (that is HTC__001).

Phone is on contract and yes it had carrier apps but on the phone there is no signatures it just looks standard. But now I installed htcs european ruu so probably it doesn't matter.
So I've changed it to HTC__001.
P.S. my bootloader says: unlocked, do I need to lock it or it doesn't matter for a warranty?
I agree, about the cid matter.
About the bootloader, that's the most important part: you need to make it say "LOCKED", otherwise.they will probably deny your warranty. The issue is, if you now lock the bootloader it will say RELOCKED, so they'll know that you've actually unlocked. You need to s-off and then get back the LOCKED label. There's a walkthrough about it, you will easily find it.
Yes thanks for the help I found out how to change it

If you now go back to s-on (it shouldn't be necessary for warranty but who knows...) be sure to use a ruu first.
