I received an unlock code from AT&T for my One XL. The unlock code comes up as unsuccessful. I followed the unlock instructions exactly. And I've called back and verified that AT&T has the correct IMEI and double checked the unlock code. I've never had an issue unlocking a phone before.
I contacted HTC. They tell me to contact AT&T, as "they're the ones who have the unlock codes." AT&T tells me to contact HTC.
Would running CM 10 have any effect on my attempt to enter the carrier unlock?

Yes, SIM unlock codes only work on Sense ROMs, for some reason. Switch to a Sense ROM, and you should be able to unlock just fine. Then you can go back to CM10.

Do I have to go back to a stock ROM? Or just any Sense-based ROM from "HTC One X Android Development."
Would you know of a guide? I can't even recall which stock Rom I was running prior to unlocking the bootloader and going to CM10.
You don't even have a backup? Any sense rom is fine. They all have instructions that are easy for anyone to follow.

Restored a backup from 9/2. I forgot I even had it, as I didn't intend to go back to it. Unlock worked. Thanks all!
yupp sense ROM is the key

It will work with any rom and it is permanent.

Unlock the phone by putting in a non T-Mobile sim and turning on the phone. The code entry box will appear. Unlock it now before flashing a custom roms. Most customs roms don't have the necessary code to perform the unlock. But once you have unlocked it you never have to do it again no matter what rom you flash.
I have LG nitro HD locked to AT&T, I have cyanogenmod ROM. I do have unlock code.
I'm trying to carrier unlock, but when I insert "not accepted" SIM card it doesn't ask for unlock code.
So I try the other method - dial 2945#*930# and nothing happens.
What can I do?

it's the cyanogen rom for sure, I don't think lg would know..
from what I have seen on my phone and other phones if you are using CM7/CM9 or possibly other custom roms that are not based on the stock rom you will not be able to use some of the dialer codes. that could be the reason you are not able to unlock the phone. you will need to flash a stock rom and unlock the phone. then you can go back to your rom and have the phone unlocked

Hi smashcz, did you flash a stock ROM, then you are able to unlock the phone? i have exactly some problem, without unlock, i did my flash.
so first question, there is no other way can unlock after flash a new ROM? second, where did you get "Sotck ROM"? from LG website or from backup? i did backup before flash, could i restore it?
I have a One S that I rooted and put an AOKP Jelly Bean ROM (device_ville_jb-build-1) on it. I'm trying to SIM unlock it to go to AT&T and the SIM unlock code I got from t-mobile isn't working.
What do I have to do? Do I have to flash back stock for the code to work? And, if I do, will the SIM unlock still be applied if I flash back to my awesome AOKP ROM?
Any help appreciated!
I happened to be in the same situation. You just need to install a stock ROM, such as TrickDroid, and insert the code again. It should work.

What do you mean by "stock ROM?" I tried to install both versions of TrickDroid on here and neither would install. Keep getting an error 1 or whatever it is.
By "stock ROM", do you mean an ICS rom or what?
Then flash the ruu

i had the same problem as well... even after going back to stock ruu i still cant seem to unlock my phone... keeps saying "incorrect password"...
couldnt figure out a solution

Hey, did you ever find an answer? Same issue with a One X on AT&T.
I put cyanogenmod 10 on my HTC One S.
I sent the phone to my cousin in DR (Dominican Republic) upon arrival we realized I made a big mistake. I didn't SIM unlock the phone.
I went online and found a website that does it for cheap: Cellunlocker.net
I got the code, sent it to my cousin, and he told me "it's not working".
I then looked on here (XDA) and found a "do it yourself method" for unlocking the SIM. Basically you input a command in Superuser and the phone gives you a number. You take that number and the IMEI number and you can calculate the SIM unlock code based on those numbers.
We ended up getting the same number that Cellunlocker.net sent us.
Could it be that Cyanogenmod is blocking my cousin from unlocking the phone?
PS. I have a video of my cousin unlocking the device (and failing) here: http://www.bodyctrl.com/stuff/unlock1.MOV
On the SIM unlock thread they mention it might not work if you're not on a sense rom. But you only need to be on a sense rom until you're unlocked and then you can go back to whatever you want.

just flash a stock rom on the phone, stock odex/deodex use unlock code then once done flash back to CM10.
SUCCESS!
This issue was resolved.
I installed a Sense Based ROM and performed a SIM Unlock on the device. The device then rebooted.
I then installed CM 10.
Device works perfectly fine now on any network of my choice.

I tried the same but didn't work. What Sense based ROM did you install?

I used the stock Sense (4.1) that shipped with the phone (after rooting) to do the sim unlock. Custom roms based on sense may have their own problems.

Have you tried the first step of ordering an unlock code yet? I'm unsure why this didn't work for the OP but if you continue to have issues, I'd suggest it.

Ahh. Might be just that. I tried ViperDroid and didn't work. The problem is that I didn't backup my shipped rom (shame on me), is there any way I can workaround this (e.g. is there any stock rom for me to download)?

Since the code I got from sim unlock procedure didn't work, I ordered a code. I ended up wit the same code.
Hi,
I need to unlock my device and my guess is I need to go back to Stock for the Tmobile Unlock App to work (does this even work in the first place?). So my question is has anyone used this successfully and also rooted/flashed another ROM after the unlock and it stayed unlocked?
If there are things I need to avoid after a successful unlock, please let me know that as well.
Thanks!
interesting
Well I know my N5 is unlocked under stock rom. After flashing a custom rom I lose the unlock. I've posted in other threads about this but there has not been a good answer other then getting an unlock code which I don't know how you would for tmo. But flashing an intl custom rom will let you get to the menu to enter the code to unlock. The question though is how and where would you get an actual numerical unlock code for a tmo device? Cellunlocker and a couple others I've contacted are not able to get an actual code to use for the tmo N5.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, my phone needs to get unlocked cause I'm moving to Japan and I rather unlock it than buy a new phone...until the Note 8 comes out.
I tried to Odin back to stock, but I get a DRK fail so I can't lol
