in order to use unlock code you have to be on SENSE ROM.
Are you on sense ROM?

Is the actual unlock code based off imei of each idividual phone or is there a universal code. I've never unlocked phone and was curious . My guess is every phone has unique code or we would see posts with codes to use.

Hi there!
I really would like to unlock my one S but I don't want to loose the warranty, I have seen this thread regarding the work that is under development for the one X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604300 and I was wondering if something like this exist here too

There isn't really any active work toward s-off for the One S. I think the hope is that anything the Att One-X guys come up with will work on or phone also. So there is still hope.
Also, you can unlock your phone without going through HTCdev. Therefore not losing your warrenty but you would need files from someones phone who is unlocked. The link below explains it but DO NOT try it with the files in the link as it won't work. You need the files from a One S.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732980
Well, I think that an exploit for the one X cannot be used for the one S because of different chip used on the devices... We have a Qualcomm one while the one X has tegra. I would check the link that you have pass me but I think that it will be hard to find someone who would pass me the right files...

The AT&T (and some other NA carriers) One X (AKA One XL) has the MSM8960 which is also a S4 Krait+Adreno 225 combo, just with an LTE modem.

It would work for sure. If someone has a device going back to t-mobile or HTC for replacement we could use their partitions.

TAMPERED isn't such a great issue. It goes away by just flashing a RUU.
The real issue is the RELOCKED message you get when relocking the bootloader. To prevent this RELOCKED message, and to have it displaying LOCKED isntead (this way the bootloader won't appear to have been ever unlocked), you have to achieve S-OFF. That's what they're working on, if I'm not mistaken.

It would still show tampered. The only reason you would want to do it this way is so your phone wouldn't show up in HTC's database of phones they unlocked. When you unlock through HTC Dev you agree that unlock the phone may void parts of your warranty.
And as the other poster above stated even if you locked the boot-loader again it would say Relocked instead of Locked. So there isn't really much a reason to do it this way.
Well I hope that a way to unlock the phone without leaving traces will eventually cames out. I do not want to use htcdev because I have to keep this phone for 30 months as I have taken it with an operator contract, so if something happen and I have unlocked it then I would have no warranty.

Hello,
I have an HTC Sensation 4g that was originally from Tmobile. I rooted it and also unlocked the phone to use on other networks. I verified this by using other prepaid carriers in the U.S and also in Mexico. But now i have an issue I tried a company called Moviestar in Mexico. I keep getting a message saying SIM LOCKED. Why is this?
Also does anyone know how asking for unlock code work from tmobile. I also have service with them with a different sensation can I call them and give them the IMIE for the sensation I want unlocked? Not sure if you have to be using the sensation while asking for the code.
I also found this to change APN but dont the sim cards change this automatically?
http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=27
Simply ask T-Mobile for the unlock code. They will give it to you. I haven't asked for this device yet but asked for my other device and they gave me the code without any problems. Just tell them you will be traveling and want the code. It shouldn't be a problem. They did it for me before without any issues. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes

Maybe T-Mobile, but I am on Vodafone and they won't give it to me for some reason. HTC have put a guide how to SOFF your phone, but that didn't worked for me. I only have the "wire trick" left to try, but some users report broken phones after so... I hear people write mails to HTC and they give them the unlock codes Anyone had a successful feedback on the issue?

HTC dev unlock method works fine.. just follow procedure from HTC page
If your bootloader is 1.2xx , jb method of soff is only option...
What u mean broken phone after wire trick???.,.,
If u stuck on jb screen after many attempt of wire trick , then u simply remove temp root and phone will back to Android

To verify, if I have S-OFF'd my Sensation, then I should be able to use a SIM on another carrier without having to call my carrier (T-Mobile) to get an unlock code. Right?
Thank you.

No, you're missing 1 step.
S-Off and Sim Unlock are two different things.
But if you have S-Off and Root access you can figure out your own Sim Unlock code quickly and easily.
See here for instructions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Then once you have that unlock code, when you put in a sim from another carrier it will prompt you for the code and you simply type it in.
Skipjacks is right I was trying to find that thread wasnt fast enough lol. Cedyathome follow that guide and it should work for most carriers.

I bought a Sensation of a forums site and the guy gave me the unlock code to unlock it but when I add it, it says code successful but the phone doesn't unlock I then tried the unlock methods on this website and it still won't work. Whenever the box appears to put in the code I can put in any random numbers and it will still say unlock code was successful. The rom is cynagogen mod 10 jb 4.1.2 but not sure if this can cause any problem?

If you did the method on here you shouldn't have to enter an unlock code. Make sure you did the method right. I've done the method on here to 2 sensations and it worked perfectly

Starting to think h-boot 127.0.0 is the reason why i'm having a problem if this is the case i'll have to return the phone and make sure i stay well away from HTC.

Hi,
If you are hboot 1.27, you need to look HERE
For folks interested in getting their HTC One X Evita sim unlocked so that it works with any GSM carriers I'd like to share my experience since I could not find any relevant info our forums:
First you will need a sim card from a different carrier.
Request your sim unlock code from your carrier or as an alternative you can go to Ebay (this vendor fonecare was great, cheap and super fast, got my code within minutes for less than $5 but there are many others). In both cases you will of course need to provide your IMEI number (*#06#)
Here is the BIG ONE: You need to be on a stock rom! All attempts to sim unlock on a custom rom (cm, aokp, etc..) will result in a message telling you the "sim unlock attempt was unsuccessful". After 5 unsuccessful attempts you will "permanently" lock your phone (Well not so permanently as you can reset the counter by running an RUU, but it's PITA...) If you're indeed on a custom rom (if you're not I don't really know what you're doing on xda?!) read the following:
Make an nandroid backup of your current setup with your recovery of choice.
Push a "stock rom" to your SD card, I used the latest 3.18 since AT&T is my network here but you can also refer to @redpoint73 exhaustive index for a list of all the stock rooted roms available for the Evita here
You may or may not have to flash a radio depending of whether your "stock rom" of choice comes with it or not. If needed go to @taylor.fowler thread on radio here, pick the matching radio and push it to your SD card
Reboot in Recovery
Wipe cache & Dalvik and Factory Reset.
Flash the "stock rom" you moved to your SD card (as well as the radio if needed.)
Wipe cache&dalvik again (don't really know if it's necessary, i think the jury is still out on this matter but it doesn't hurt)
Reboot to your "stock rom" to make sure everything is fine and dandy
Power off
Remove your current network sim card and replace it with another carrier sim card (this will trigger sim unlock prompt once you're rebooted)
Turn your device on
You should be prompted for sim unlock (not to be confused with sim pin which some carriers require before you get to the sim unlock prompt)
Enter your sim unlock code and hit "ok", should be followed by a "sim unlock request successful" et voilà
Reboot in recovery, again wipe cache&dalvik, factory reset and restore your nandroid backup. Amen
This is very useful information for me. Thanks for sharing!
Now if someone could post the way to SIM unlock for free...
Requesting from your carrier should be free.
There is a method for the one s with s-off that involves decoding the unlock code from the phones mmc files. May work with one xl. I havent seen anyone try yet. I would but I don't have a micro SIM from another carrier.

Haha, assuming you're still with Telus, as am I, you know that that's wishful thinking, unfortunately.
I have yet to unlock my bootloader because I don't wan't to lose my warranty just yet, so I can't really test anything anytime soon. If you have any old regular SIMs from another carrier, maybe you could cut one down to micro and test it? :fingers-crossed:
On a separate note, even though I haven't unlocked/rooted anything, my phone does show ***TAMPERED*** at the bootloader, so maybe it's too late for my warranty anyway.

Thank you so much for this guide. I had tried to unlock my phone on AOKP 3 times and was beginning to panic. This worked perfectly!
I was able to just tell ATT I was travelling out of the country and they gave me my code for free.
Also, you don't need to be on a stock rom to sim unlock, but you do have to be on a sense-based rom. I was able to unlock no prob on ViperXL.
Thanks for sharing the useful information here!
Just a thought, but is this going to be a similar process to the One S (method here), except using p11 instead of p6?
