hi.
a friend of mine has gotten an at&t htc one x for a present brought to her from the US. the problem is this at&t device seems to be locked to other carriers and there for unusable in middle east as a phone.
is there any way to fix this problem? if so, would need to root the device or not?
thanx in advance
Get an unlock code off eBay or elsewhere. Should only cost a few dollars.
Insert new SIM, enter unlock code, program APN for new carrier and success.

Thank you for your fast reply. If you could be kind enough to tell me where should i have her enter the code i would be more than thankful.
She can't miss it once she inserts a non att sim card it will pop up asking for the unlock code

Hey guys just a quick question. I tried searching but could not it find the answer.
Okay so in the past, like the mytouch 4G and the G2 once your Supercid you got full sim unlock. Is that the case with our att HTC One X as well? I don't have a foreign sim to try it out. My one X is unlocked with Supercid. Thanks to whoever who can answer this for me.

I don't believe it is the case. No one has reported it as such.
SuperCID and SIM unlock are not related, at least not in the way you want.
I had the G2 also (Desire Z actually, but same phone) and used gfree to get SuperCID, S-Off and SIM unlock. They just all happened to be packaged together, but I believe used different processes to unlock each.

Unlock costs $6 in Ebay for at&t one x if that's what you need.

Call Att, tell them you will be travelling internationally soon and you need your unlock code. If you have been a customer for a while and your account is in good standing they will provide the code for free. I have done it several times over the years, once even for a customers phone that was not even on my account.

Yeah but sometimes at&t with exclusive phones will not give codes out but I'll give that a try.

Hey guys I'm tired of getting raped monthly by AT&T, is there a free way to unlock my HOX so I can switch service providers? I've checked online and there are multiple sites that can do it for a "small" fee.
Nope, you need to use a paid unlock service.
cellunlocker.net $10 bucks. Might be more expensive than the others, but they are very reliable.
Dont change ur imei to match somebodys who already bought a code, then change it back whatever u do!!!! You would have to dd p4, fix it and dd it back which i think is illigal.

It says the unlock requires:
Country
Network provider
model number
I don't see where they require a phone number.
I was going to sell my one x and met a guy at McDonald's....I have at&t...he had Verizon....I called sprint and they gave me an unlock code that didn't work at all leaving me looking dumb....then bought one off of eBay and that did nothin either.. when inserting sim of diff provider brings up enter sim unlock code...please help

You called Sprint for the unlock code for your AT&T phone? That doesn't make any sense. Sprint is a CDMA carrier, CDMA phones don't have SIM cards (and therefore dont' have SIM unlock codes) and they also don't even carry the One X anyway. Verizon is also a CDMA carrier, and your GSM One X would not have worked on Verizon for that guy.
If the paid SIM unlock code did not work, that vendor should give you a refund. People have had good luck with cellunlocker.net.
But keep in mind that unlocking the SIM will not make the phone work on Sprint or Verizon. It will only work on AT&T and T-Mobile (and associated carriers like Straight Talk, that use AT&T/T-Mobs networks), as they are the only major GSM carriers in the US. And on T-Mob, the phone will only get EDGE data speed in most areas, due to the phone not being compatible with T-Mobs 3G/4G network.
Att is gsm sprint and Verizon are completely different this phone will not work on those two providers

can someone explain me pleasee???
PJ83100 = HTC One X
Yes, it is the same for all of them.
I have no problem buying unlock key, just want to make sure it's unlock-able before buying it...
Looked at here and seem lots of people failed to unlock the sim lock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639644
and, after it's unlock, I just have to unlock also BootLoader from hasoon2000 and it's voila, the custom rom!?
Thank you.
Bump, and see if it works!
Maybe I should just look for carrier-unlocked...

Rogers phones are apparently difficult to get codes for. But any decent unlocking service should tell you if it's possible before charging you

Cause I'm buying one from eBay, and they're mostly from AT&T
so it would be pretty inconvenient if I can't get it unlocked to work on Fido...
Ship back, wait it to get arrive, wait for refund, etc etc...
