Ok so a friend of mine just got an unlocked HTC One X and wants to use it on T Mobile, what would he have to do to be able to use it on there network? I can't imagine its as easy as popping the Sim in, does he need to flash a new radio?
Thanks for all of your help and insight...

if its carrier unlocked from the manufacturer, pop the sim in, the end.
if its bootloader unlocked, you need to get it carrier unlocked as they are not the same.
Ok, I have the carrier unlock code, ATT gave it to me with no problems. Now besides that do I need to flash a different radio at all? Also because its rooted would that cause any other issues?

Just wondering,
Will flashing a European Stock ROM onto my Sensation release the SIM lock or will this cause brick?
Thanks!

Okay to be able to flash this Official ROM with your phone, you must change your Super-CID Here is How To Change It. But Will Not Let You Sim Unlock

Is it definitely locked as some networks send them out unlocked? Also have a look at THIS post for advice. Might be worth a shot.
Have a rogers one xl unlocked bootloader rooted. Can i install 1.83 then root and debrand with no problems?
Cheers
Where did you get this update from? I just checked mine and it said no available updates.
hes talking about the att update.
no dont install it
Yeah the att one if i install it what will happen i dont see why i cant when att users can install the rogers firmware but that makes no sense why rogers users cant install att firmware? Weird.
you have to be s-off to install other carrier's rom.
it depends on your cid.
I believe rogers cid is
CID-ROGERS001
Either you have your device in s-off mode...
or you need the signature to match I think...
But why can att users use the superpatch to use the rogers rom. Can someone just create a superpatch for rogers users to use the att firmware
Why do you want att so bad? There's nothing in that ruu that benefits you...

Its the new update 1.83 that apperntly brings better battery life fixed notfications wifi problem and its smoother.
is there an RUU for the canadian rogers One X i guess it's actually the One XL
RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.82.502.3-65FC5C12FB7980C689E8AE53156DAB0A.exe
I guess this is the AT&T one?
yeah
Is there any way to install 1.83 at&t on rogers yet? cant live with the wifi issues.

haha, yours is At&t right. I would give you a new Rogers HOX with which you can unlock bootloader if you send me 550$.

Firstly, the superpatch is for the shipping ROM on the AT&T OneX. If you run it on an updated one, it will replace files with older ones and potentially cause problems.
Without being able to safely run the superpatch, you'll be left with many of the deficiencies that AT&T users experience vs. our Rogers phones. Like no LTE toggle, and probably that issue where youtube links don't open in the youtube app.
Newbie question here before I start:
Is Rogers One X exactly the same as AT&T One X? I mean，do they have exactly the same hardware?
I received a new Rogers One X but I'll be using it on AT&T network, my understanding is that AT&T One X ROMs can be flashed to the Rogers One X and vice versa, right?
Yes, if you super CID you will be able to flash anything meant for an AT&T phone. (Roms and RUUs) The only hardware diference is that the rogers phone has an HTC logo not an AT&T logo at the top. I'm pretty sure you will have to unlock it to use it on AT&T though.
Great, thanks!
Also unlike the AT&T one, the bootloader on Rogers One X is unlockable, right?

Yes, it can be bootloader unlocked through HTC Dev. I am not sure about SIM unlocked though, you will need that in order to use the AT&T network.
Thanks. Yes I understand that, I received the unlock code along with the new phone, and I've already (SIM) unlocked the phone.

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?

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.

Hey guys I recently purchased an Rooted Htc One X from a friend to use as my work phone and was give the carrier unlock code for my device however when i went to unlock the device it did not work. From searching around here on the forums i've noticed that in order to carrier unlock this device it needs to be on a sense based rom. Is this correct? If so does it matter if its viper xl rom?

Any sense rom should work. You just need it for the first time code entry. You can flash AOSP after if you like.
Ok perfect i just wanted to make sure before i attempt to unlock the phone again...Once again Exad you've come to the rescue! Thanks again!
