Make simfree if bought from t mobile at ebay - HTC One S

There are many auctions for HTC one s t-mobile new for great price by my opinion at eBay. If I live in another country and want to use the phone with another carrier (don't have t-mobile in my country), is it possible? What do I need to use the phone as simfree?

Well duh!
Lior84, use google search, there are lots of places offering to sim unlock One S phones.

It is possible to do it for free using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491
You will, however, need to be rooted to do this. You can root using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

Can I root it without unlock it first or have a t-mobile simcard?
What will I have when I will power it on? Just want to be sure that unlock can be done even if I don't have any t-mobile simcard.

You do not need a T-Mobile SIM card for any of the operations. The phone will work without any SIM card to do the rooting. You then need a non-T-Mobile SIM when you want to do the unlock.
When you insert a non-T-Mobile SIM card it will ask for the unlock code which you get by following the first guide.

Great, thanks for the help!

Sensation does not ask for unlock code

Hi all. I've been using my second-hand bought sensation for a week now. But i have one problem. I have to unlock it to actually be able to use it as a phone.
Why is this a problem? Well, i have followed a guide here on xda to unlock it and have acquired the unlock code. Thing is, the sensation does not ask for the unlock code.
The guy i got it from tried to unlock it himself using "diag" and "s65/s85" but he failed.
So my question is, how do i get it to ask for the unlock code?
Thanks

So there is no way to relock it to unlock it the right way?
Sent from my HTC Sensation
How about a complete reset back to stock?
I don't know enough about the unlocking process to know if a complete stock reset would wipe the unlock and leave the phone relocked. But hopefully by me stating the possibility you'll see 3 answers shortly from people who do know nad you can either try it or rule it out.
Never seen a similar relock I have ruu flashed every way on here if u put a att similar card in and it don't ask for code it unlocked
Now if you see x and not a signal then your blocked call tmoble and ask if it can be unblocked most likly not

Well, I don't see x, but I get no reception

Would changing the mainboard solve the problem? (Yes, I'm willing to go that far....)

I've tried to clear s-58 data before. It didn't help, but thanks for trying.
I think i'm just suffering from bad esn.
What model is the phone and what provider are you trying to use? You might need to change the modem to do that look in the radio thread. The modem basically changes the frequency so you can use it on providers who uses a different one.

sim unlock and flashing roms

hi everyone i need some help i just sim unlocked my t-mobile hct sensation 4g to use it overseas and i want to know if flashing roms cyanogenmod or any other will undo my sim unlock thanks hope you can help me
Flashing a rom will not undo sim lock. Follow the s-off guide by viper all the way down to sim unlock and you will be free. Flashing a rom is not required but will be possible after following the guide. As I am on my phone I cannot send a link but the search button is your friend

Thanks you
If the phone is available overseas, check it must be unlocked already . Custom regulation does not allow sale of locked phones in other countries...

SIM-Unlock have nothing to do with root.
To unlock your SIM so you can use the phone on other networks, buy an unlock code and enter it when prompted to (when inserting a foreign sim card for the first time). For most HTC's phones, the unlock code will only work if your phone is on a stock rom or a "close to stock" custom rom.
There is alternate methods to SIM-Unlock but it require a S-OFF'ed bootloader.
Root and unlocked bootloader will not help getting sim-unlock.
Thanx
