[Q] Unlocked bootloader, 4G/LTE no longer works

Hi,
I tried to use the one-click bootloader unlock at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734558 several times, but it did not work with my phone (Telstra HTC One XL) due to an invalid token, so I ended up going through HTCDev.
Problem is, although the bootloader is now unlocked, I now have the same problem as this person: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28045161&postcount=42.
Is there any way to fix this or am I screwed? The phone works fine, except I no longer have 4G/LTE. I have already tried to restore my original partitions that I backed up, but it doesn't re-enable 4G.

Sounds like a bug HTC needs to know about.

Why not try rooting then unlocking directly at HTCDev.com without using this script?

I've already done this.

Try the RUU.

Reflashed RUU, same problem. I've convinced the telco to send it in to HTC for a repair... doubt they'll do anything as the bootloader clearly says "Relocked" and I logged into HTCDev.

you check your imei # in the software and make sure it matches what it should be (it's physically etched into your sim tray)?

I have an unlocked bootloader and 4g/lte is working fine with cleanrom 4.1 and the 1.88 radio here in nyc area. Got 45/11 in flushing queens on lte.

[Q] How do I tell if it's SIM Unlocked?

It's been rooted and S-Off, and I currently have ICS installed (IceColdSandwich 8.2).
But does that mean that it's SIM unlocked, in that this phone can be used on any carrier?
I don't have a non-AT&T SIM card to test it on hand.

Like Nick says...if you used the Hack Kit and u are S-OFF then you are sim unlocked. But if you want to verify, u can use this (Point 5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Take into consieration that sim unlock does not work with all sims....mine works perfectly in Argentina with my company but not all companies work.

I don't quite remember if I used the hack kit... any recourse if I run the hack kit right now, despite my phone already being S-OFF and Rooted, just to make sure that it's SIM unlocked?
^ Assuming running gfree_verify_v01.zip using ADB Shell shows that simlock has failed.

That is weird, from what I knew (that is not a warranty..:cyclops if you are S-OFF you have to be sim unlock....If you want to re run the S-OFF and root, you can revert back to stock and S-ON and then run the Hack Kit...:good:

Don't re run the hack kit if you're already rooted, bad things will happen. Set it back to stock and then reroot

[Q] SIM Unlock - Restore to factory

Hi Guys,
I have an HTC doubleshot running CM 9.1.0 stable.
I grabbed a SIM unlock code from tmobile and popped in a SIM from AT&T, got the unlock prompt just fine.
I enter the code and even though the device accepts it, it doesn't actually unlock the phone.
Restarting the phone or turning airplane mode on/off produces the same prompt to unlock again.
After much investigation I realized that I may need to go back to the stock ROM to be able to successfully unlock this phone. (or maybe I'm wrong here but i've read numerous reports of the SIM unlock not working with CM)
I'm on hboot 1.45.0013 with S-ON and I can't seem to get back to stock no matter what PG59IMG i download.
I've tried every signed image i can, including all of the ones here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878329
So my question is either:
1) How do i get back to a stock image (even if still rooted and on cwm recovery) so that i can unlock
or
2) How can i unlock the phone without flashing a different image

Silly me, i had forgotten to re-lock the device via fastboot before applying stock image.

SOLVED
In case this helps anyone else out there:
Confirmed that SIM unlock does not work in Cyanogen Mod.
Reloaded factory image, unlocked SIM using code received from tmobile.
Re-rooted, took the opportunity to gain s-off via juopunutbear which also needs the factory image.
Reloaded nandroid backup and now i'm back in business running cm9.1.0 with unlock and S-off as a bonus

One thing I've been wondering for a while though, is there any way to unlock the phone without buying the code?

[Q] MSL not retrievable after JB OTA update

I have 2 HTC One SV LTE phones. One of them I was able to unlock the bootloader, root, and grab the MSL while it was running ICS. After an OTA JB update everything is running fine and I can still grab the MSL using MSL reader.
My second phone is identical but got the OTA JB update prior to me unlocking the bootloader and rooting. When I try to grab the MSL I get nothing. I've tried every method I could find including running "getprop ril.MSL" directly from adb shell which returns an empty line.
Code:
[email protected]:/ # getprop ril.MSL
getprop ril.MSL
[email protected]:/ #
MSL reader's error log spits out:
Code:
Diagnostic output:
Running as root.
Stopping rild...
Asking for MSL...
0
1.12.50.0516
0
0
Starting rild...
Done.
Diagnostic error:
Does anyone have a method I could employ to get the MSL for my second phone? Or since I know the MSL for one device is there a way to transfer that to my other phone?
I'd appreciate any advice.

Ha! So that is why I kept receiving a blank line! I was on JB before I rooted and unlocked my bootloader. Have you tried reverting back to ICS? I would, but too lazy and at this point I don't need my MSL anymore.

There is an app on the play store called, MSL Reader. Must be rooted to use it. It will display your MSL, but ONLY if you are properly rooted.

Has nothing to do with the Rom. Works on ICS and JB. Only thing I can think of is either you are making a typo when entering the msl code or the msl is invalid due to a blacklist or your device being inactive.

I would assume because you have a device which is a US product over in Mexico. So I also assume your phone isn't even activated which may be your problem there. Not much you can do about that. You would have to settle it with Boost Mobile.

Hi can i use this method for all android devices?

Hi, I tried to unlock my HTC One S on 4 differents paid websites, but all say "unfortunately your unlock code cannot be calcuted, please double check your IMEI blabla" ). Since yestarday I kept trying these methods with NO SUCCESS.
Terminal emulator and ADB Shell say String not Fount / No IMEI
I try the method with ES file explorer. The bad news is The file "mmcblk0p6" is crypted when i opened as text. but when i open with notepad++ on my laptop THE IMEI in the file "mmcblk0p6" is completely different when I type *#06#
I calculate the NCK code with both IMEI, phone says "incorrect password" I pay for the IMEI i find in the file, the server send me the same NCK with the app in method 2.
All necessary information about IMEI, model, carrier are in the attachment
Please anyone have an idea?

Need unlock code again after reboot
benJX said:
Thanks for your great and very useful work !
I'm actually on Orange FR carrier.
When I insert a sim from another carrier the phone asked me & I wrote the combination.
It said it was now unlocked and when I press "Reboot" the phone freeze instead of rebooting
Any idea ? The CID perhaps ?
Device : hTC One S
About : Facepalm S-OFF -- Hboot 2.16 -- CID HTC__203 -- Radio 1.20
Rom : MaximusHD -- SENSE 5.0 ANDROID 4.2.2
Kernel : ElementalX v6.1
Thx in advance

I think I have a similar problem.
I have an HTC One S (I think S4 - 1.5Ghz). It is locked to ORange. I unlocked bootloader, rooted and finally managed to get busybox etc installed.
Method 1 and 2 provide the same code-
IMEI: 2547014 (last 7 digits)
Un lock code: 062975078
(sim unlock 61522531)
Method 3 didn't work as I got stuck after loading grep etc via busybox.
When I entered the unlock code I calculated the phone said unlock successful and that a reboot was necessary, but when it rebooted it asked for the unlock code again! I tried a different recovery (was using clockwork, went to twrp but still asked for the code on reboot.
I am scared to re-enter the code as I know I have limited tries - so far I have only entered it the once. I have factory resetted the phone - should I try and enter the code again?
I have now lost the boot screen after the factory reset so I don't think I can check the hboot.
As far as I am aware I did not install a new ROM at any point.

Thankyou thankyou and thankyou :->
We cannot thank you enough for sharing this brief 'tutuorial'. It worked like a charm once we had rooted the phone (which was the tricky part).
In case of it being helpful to anyone else, our device was prepared using:-
- CWM Ville with Touch Recovery ROM image.
- Chainfire SuperSU.
- BusyBox (must use Team Trickster's 'on Rails' initially so as to install from ZIP/SD storage,) followed by an immediate upgrade using the stericson version).
After installing that little lot, the acquisition of the sim unlock code was was a breeze. Thank you again.

Tested on HTC One S (S4)
Locked to Spanish vodafone
Worked like a charm
Had a little trouble installing busybox so installed viper S rom 2 and things went straight
Thank you very much

Cincinatti Bell Wireless
SIM unlock worked great after my crashcourse on rooting, recovery, and the bootloader all last night. But even customer support with HTC and T Mobile told me since it's from Cincinatti Bell Wireless, T Mobiles internet service WILL NOT WORK. :crying:
There's gotta be a work-around. Any way to move a Cincinatti Bell Wireless exclusive phone to T Mobile? There ought to be considering their wireless service is ending in a month. That carrier wasn't even in my area.

asking for unlock sim for different android phone

thanks so much guyz, i chose method one

Tried all methods, outputting wrong IMEI
Hi guys, I've tried all the methods and I'm ending up at the same unlock code which doesn't work. I noticed the stated IMEI in the bash script is different to my actual IMEI, and so I guess the Un_Lock Code is wrong as well. I've checked the mmcblk0 files using a hex editor and the correct IMEI is in there. Does anyone have any ideas?
I am unlocked, S-off, SuperCID, clockwork Mod recovery, busybox installed, running the Stock ROM from factory reset.
Thanks

hi,
so i can't get unlock code with this command
su [enter]
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 [enter]
but it work well with this one
1. Note IMEI *#06#
2. adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcp6.dump
3. Open mmcp6.dump on SDCARD
4. Look for in this file your IMEI
5. Just in front of your IMEI a 8-digit code which corresponds to the unlock code
may help some one
with regards
