[Q] Locked HTC Sensation

Just wondering,
Will flashing a European Stock ROM onto my Sensation release the SIM lock or will this cause brick?
Thanks!

Okay to be able to flash this Official ROM with your phone, you must change your Super-CID Here is How To Change It. But Will Not Let You Sim Unlock

Is it definitely locked as some networks send them out unlocked? Also have a look at THIS post for advice. Might be worth a shot.

[Q] Sim unlock not working on rooted phone -- [Solved]

My situation: I rooted my ATT One X using 2.20 xfactor exploit that changed my phone's CID. I am now running the King Kang ROM. I got my sim unlock code directly from ATT but it keeps giving a failure message. I read another similar thread on this topic but that was from a few months ago and was not resolved.
My question: does the rooting/bootloader unlocking process affect the ability to sim unlock my phone? If yes, then can I restore the phone back to factory settings including the original CID, etc. so that I can try to use that sim unlock code again? Will re-locking the bootloader and flashing a 2.20 RUU suffice?
Thanks,
Sathya

It shouldn't. I can't see any connection between the two. SIM is for service, bootloader is for the phone.

I had this problem.
You have to be on a Sense ROM (doesn't have to be stock) in order to SIM unlock the the HOX.
Backup your current setup, wipe and flash any Sense ROM and then try to unlock. Works like a charm.
Once you're unlocked, you can go back to restoring or flashing AOSP-based ROMs

That worked! Thanks a lot!
I flashed to CleanROM 5.0, sim unlock worked like a breeze once I put in a non-ATT sim. Flashed back to King Kang.

i'm on htc one x with ATT, trying to unlock it to use with tmobile.
bought code from cellunlocker.net
went from CM10 to cleanROM 5.0....unsuccessful.
the imei number i provided to cellunlocker.net is the same as in phone settings and when you do *#06#.......
BUT...i noticed the imei in phone setting does not match the imei on physical sticker on phone or the sim insert plate...wtf is it different. i got the phone directly from ATT!
already email cellunlocker.net for unlock code for the IMEI on physical sticker/sim plate.
any suggestions...or other ways of sim unlock.
Thanks

Had a unlock issue when I first got the phone. Was running king kang couldn't unlock so I flashed back to stock with a locked bootloader and it worked.

You have an imei issue based on what you explained. Get at&t to unlock the phone for you or provide you a phone with matching numbers.

Well .. the dumb thing is i called att...the imei they have matches with the one inside the phone... And they claim they didn't have an unlock code for it...called twice...both rep tried to look up unlock code for me.
Maybe i shld try to get unlock code for the imei number on outside of phone...on phone sticker, box, sim tray...????
Why the heck are the two imei numbers different??? Should i go to att to complain n get diff one... although it has been about a yr...doubt they'll do anything about it.

[Q] Root Rogers One X

Before I get into the problem I had 2 weeks ago, is there a safe unlock procedure and root procedure for the One X for sw version 4.1.1.
Thanks everyone

Go to htcdev.com unlock your bootloader... Than flash twrp 2.4 than you can only flash a custom jbsense Rom at the moment or your touch screen won't work so maybe check out viper or hatka or newts or one of the many in are dev section all great roms

Should have said root. Unlock is not the issue rooting 4.1.1 is.

[Q] HTC One X on Tmobile Question

Ok so a friend of mine just got an unlocked HTC One X and wants to use it on T Mobile, what would he have to do to be able to use it on there network? I can't imagine its as easy as popping the Sim in, does he need to flash a new radio?
Thanks for all of your help and insight...

if its carrier unlocked from the manufacturer, pop the sim in, the end.
if its bootloader unlocked, you need to get it carrier unlocked as they are not the same.

Ok, I have the carrier unlock code, ATT gave it to me with no problems. Now besides that do I need to flash a different radio at all? Also because its rooted would that cause any other issues?

[Q] Sim Carrier Unlock

Hey guys I recently purchased an Rooted Htc One X from a friend to use as my work phone and was give the carrier unlock code for my device however when i went to unlock the device it did not work. From searching around here on the forums i've noticed that in order to carrier unlock this device it needs to be on a sense based rom. Is this correct? If so does it matter if its viper xl rom?

Any sense rom should work. You just need it for the first time code entry. You can flash AOSP after if you like.

Ok perfect i just wanted to make sure before i attempt to unlock the phone again...Once again Exad you've come to the rescue! Thanks again!
