Just bought a used HTC Sensation, originally the carrier is T-Mobile, my carrier is Bell Mobility.
I put my sim card in, it pulls up that i have unread voicemails, and shows the service bar, however, only emergency calls are allowed.
When i try to dial a number it says "not registered on network". I've tried putting in a few different sim cards, there has been no prompt on entering an unlock code. I have tried factory reset, no luck either. How am I able to unlock the phone if no prompt shows up for code? Will i have to unroot the phone?

Hi, I bought my phone second hand and it is locked to O2 (has O2 splash screen), however when I put in a different sim from another operator eg t-mobile it shows that I have signal, but does not allow calls/data to and from the phone and when I put in no sim it says emergency calls only but does not ask for an unlock code.
I have looked around and the only way to unlock the Desire S seems to be with the XTC clip or an unlock code. I'm more in favour of the unlock code as you can buy them for about a fiver on line, however I won't be able to enter the code if I were to buy it.
I have not tried contacting O2 as they are not my network so are unlikely to help.
Has anyone else had this issue? If the issue can't be fixed, does anyone know whether, if I take it to a shop with an XTC clip they could fix it?
Thanks
here's some extra details from the bootloader
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT - 0.98.000
RADIO - 38.03.02.14_M
eMMC-boot
first of all
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
dont need to buy the code at all.
since you got the old bootloader 0.98. you can use http://revolutionary.io/ root, get s-off and flash a non branded rom, change the cid and everything.
im no pro in all this just started yesterday to read here. besthing for you.... start reading and u get used to it
i downgraded to hboot 0.98, root, s-off, flashed cwm, but how do i sim unlock it? any tips welcome
Hy,
I have an TMOUS HTC One S PJ40110, with the HBOOT - 2.15.000 and RADIO - 1.13.50.05.31 - Unlocked by HTCDev.
This cellphone is from US but is in Angola with the mobile provider UNITEL.
My problems are:
- When i flash a rom and insert the SIM card for the first time, I get HDSPA, but i receive a message like "privileges Changed", then i get stuck in 2g
- If i flash a rom like CM10 the cellphone cant connect to my Wimax router.
Just checked all apn settings and they are ok.
So, i try to S-OFF And Supercid to install an european RUU, i've followed step by step these tuturial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911), get no errors but still the CID doensn't change from T-Mob010.
Now i'm in official cm10. Sory for my poor english.
Best Regards
Someone could help please??
Can i supercid with HBOOT- 2.15.0000? i've tried several times, get no errors, but the cid doens't change.
Please need some help here
doesn't matter which hboot you are. if you're S-OFF you can do in fastboot mode "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
I have the same problem with the cid not changing and my radio is half flashed and I cant flash an ruu untill someone finds a way to change the cid again.
Im not s-off
I'm not S-Off. The s-off thread says that i need to be superCid to S-off. But i can't get supercid.
I just keep reading threads about Stuck in 2g and can't find a way to fix this error.
I believe that this is not the radio frequencies, because when i insert a new sim card, it get's 4g like 5 seconds. then a message shows and i get stuck on 2g.

Do you know what the message says? Try going into the dialer and pressing *#*#4636#*#* and forcing WCDMA Only.
It's not possible to get scid, and S-off on OTA updated JB devece, the partition is WRITE-protectet . We need to wait for new metod to write s-cid.

I took the JB OTA and it worked fine. Same goes for most other people. And also, the S-OFF exploit was released after the JB update.

Have you tried the changing the network mode as I suggested? Also try reseating the SIM.
Hello guys,
I think my sensation xe is simlocked to T-Mobile. I have bought it off ebay and had returned it to the seller for repairing the camera. The seller has apparently fixed the issue but when i insert my sim card it does not connect to network and gives error 'your sim card does not allow connection to this network'. I have tried the settings inside phone information(*#*#4636#*#*) and also the sim unlock guide method 1 and 2. But it still does not connect. I think that the sim unlock method failed due to Hboot v 1.29. My device info is as follows
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
Hboot-1.29.0000
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
Is there any was to unlock this phone? Any help would be awesome...
Thanks!

Does your phone ask for pin? Usually phones with sim lock don't do that and you'll get the warning that the sim card can't be used.
Maybe try to manually select the network in settings.
No good...

Nope...no pin request...
I even tried this guys thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597778&page=2... My mobile also shows TMOB010 below the IMEI during the unlock method...but even after downgrading the firmware and erasing S58 data...upgrading to 3.33 and flashing a new rom, the phone still does not connect... and by the way, TMOB010 is still there...

One guy had the same problem and as far as I know he fixed it with hboot downgrade, PB file again, then hboot upgrade and stock ARHD (not TMOB).
Search a bit, it wasn't long time ago.

Try with the links I gave you, especially the second one cause that's the guy that had the same issue and solved it.
Also i had another thought... what if there is something else wrong with the phone? What if its not locked but has some other problem? This is because i have tried almost every method i could find out there. So can anybody tell me how to check if your phone is really simlocked??

Ohh i forgot to mention before...the cid was already 111111 when it was delivered... so no need to supercid...
Anyways i plan to do the process all over again one more time...just to be double sure that i didnt miss anything..its getting late so maybe i will have to do it tomorrow...will report if anything good comes out of it...fingers crossed...
In the meantime if anybody has a suggestion please do share...
Thanks guys for all the support...
Unlocked and S-OFF Verizon Incredible 4G LTE. I unlocked it with Rumrunner's tool, flashed TWRP (from their page), and flash CM10.2. No cell service. I tried a few things like reflashing/updating radios, etc no change. I tried a PacMan ROM. Same result. Tried a Viper ROM. Same result. Then I flash the stock rooted and deodexed ROM and I still have no service. Just sits in roaming.
Here's info from my Bootloader screen:
Currently show this on bootloader:

I don't care what ROM I use at this point. I'll even relock everything and put it back stock. Just want it to work. Help!
EDIT: EDIT: I have since relocked my phone and loaded up the stock RUU 2.17 Verizon ROM, per this walkthrough. Everything went smoothly. My bootloader now says "RELOCKED". Still no cell service. I tried dialing *228, but as soon as I hit call an alert pops up "A Verizon Wireless SIM card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities." Well, still no service.... Dialing *22899 does the same thing.

Hi all, here's my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated
I've had an M8 for about 6 months now, but in my attempt to fix the sim slot (hardware issue) I destroyed the ZIF connector for the screen display (DOH!). The M8 has been one of my favorite phones so far, so I just ordered a new(ish) one from SoonerSoft on ebay. Unfortunately, now that it's arrived, it refuses to recognize my MetroPCS sim card. I get no status bar icon, but when I reboot the device I get an error message that says "Non-Verizon Sim" and I have NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER. From what I've read, this device should be factory SIM unlocked but I have no talk, no text, no data connection. I've been going round and round in circles trying to resolve the issue on my own so I figured I would reach out for some help.
Here are the fixes I've already attempted:
Flashed TWRP and CMod 13
Flashed back to stock KitKat with RUU method
Attempted SIEEMPI SimUnlock method
Manually changed my CID to SuperCID (11111111)
Now that I've done RUU, I can't flash another ROM, and I'm unwilling to S-ON again in case I end up with a non-updatable version of KitKat 1.55.
Note: When I go into data settings, it will not let me select any GSM only networks as my Preferred Network, and I can't access any GSM Settings either in the data menu or the call menu. The phone doesn't even recognize the SIM as a MetroPCS chip. Please help!

EDIT: Just FYI, my old VZW M8 had no problem recognizing the sim card, I just couldn't maintain contact between the pins and the sim for very long.
Having the same issue with my Verizon M8. Sim is not detected, tried many methods found on the internet and here on xda as well, but no luck.
