Also, do not take for granted that the process for rooting/S-off/modding your old HTC is similar in any way to the One X. HTC is constantly upgrading its security lockdowns, and folks are constantly coming on here and complaining "this is so much harder than my old phone, etc." You are simply better off resolving that this is a brand new phone, with new rules. So treat it as such, and read and research as much as you can about the One X before you begin to mod it.
As far as Subsidy unlock (SIM unlock), it is not related to SuperCID, and has not been achieved yet by hack/mod methods. But it might come soon, since S-off was just achieved.
Until that happens, you will need to use the more "official" method of getting the SIM unlock code that corresponds to your IMEI. AT&T will typically not supply the SIM unlock code, is you are not a current post-paid account holder. So you might be forced to use a 3rd party vendor to get a paid unlock code (of can your friend get it for you?). Keep in mind that as of Jan. 26, 2013, that is no longer legal in the US for any phones purchased after that date to be unlocked by anyone but your carrier. But since you purchased the phone from a friend, you may be exempt from the law, if the phone was originally purchased from AT&T before Jan. 26.
I purchased my unlock code here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlock-Code...585?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3380245811 before it was illegal.
Worked perfectly.
Thanks for all the info,yeah he bought it last year so i think im exempt from the new law"hopefully" thanks for the links also!!!

I have a question (might be stupid). I bought my HOX factory unlocked, or so it said the person I bought it from, but it came with the at&t brand, is there a chance that the phone would lock itself if I root it, do an s-off, etc?
By the way, the phone was actually unlocked, though I don't know if he purchased a code or bought it factory unlocked.

The only way it will lock it self is if you or him reports it as stolen or lost

Either way, SIM unlock will survive bootloader unlock and S-Off.

Its one of the stickied top 3 posts in the Development forum. Frustrating that people keep ignoring it, and searching around pointlessly.
I have an AT&T Samsung Skyrocket. I rooted it and have installed CM 11-20150412-NIGHTLY-skyrocket. I'm trying to subsidy unlock this device. After no small amount of hassle by AT&T they have given me an unlock code based on my IEMI. This is the body of the e-mail they sent me:
Thank you for contacting AT&T Customer Care about unlocking your AT&T Mobile device.
CASE: CMaaaaaaaa_bbbbbbbbb
MOBILE: xxxxxxxxxx
IMEI: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
UNLOCK CODE: zzzzzzzz
We have reviewed your request and confirmed that the device may be unlocked.
Please allow 24 hours upon receipt of this notification to complete the unlock process.
To unlock your device, simply:
1. Power off the device, remove the battery, and insert a non-AT&T SIM card.
2. Re-insert the battery and power on the device with non-AT&T SIM.
3. The device displays” Enter the device unlock code.”
4. Enter the eight-digit unlock code once.
5. Press OK.
If your device has been altered from the original manufacturer’s standards, such as rooting the device, your unlock code may not work and you will need to contact the original manufacturer for assistance.
Please visit this link http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/location or call Samsung Mobile Customer Support 1-888-987-HELP (4357) Mon - Fri : 7am - 2am (CST) Sat - Sun : 9am - 10pm (CST)
I went to a T-Mobile store and they let me use a brand new SIM. When I powered the phone up I got the prompt for the unlock code. I carefully entered it and got a message the the unlock was unsuccessful. I powered it up again and even more carefully entered the unlock code. Same results.
More time on hold with AT&T and they decided that it needed to be an "Activated" SIM. So I did that. Needless to say I got the same results with 2 people verifying the entry of the unlock code.
Even more time on hold with AT&T and I got a third copy of the above e-mail with the text about altering the phone highlighted.
How can I accomplish a subsidy unlock on a rooted/ROMed Skyrocket?
Backup everything on your phone. Use Odin to go back fully stock, recovery and all. Do the unlock procedure, then reinstall custom recovery and ROM.

Wow! Not sure I want to unlock that badly.
Thanks for the reply.
unlock codes only work on stock firmwares.
the free unlock method only works on one specific firmware.
either way u would have to backup ur cm11 rom to proceed, easy, yes.
but ive read that att were giving out fubar codes, ymmv.

Say it isn't so!
AT&T has done that to me before. That time I was on a Captivate with stock ROM. They actually gave me a $100 credit toward international roaming because they couldn't unlock the phone. That was less than I spent so I made money on their fubar!

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
Hello everyone
Here's my problem and my idea:
I bought T-Mobile Galaxy S7 on ebay about a week ago (Stock QC1 firmware) and now I'm in need of sim unlock, which I can't, my device's unlock fails every time through Device Unlock app
I've searched through the web past two days and found no solution whatsoever. Every service is down for now and I cannot find any ways to unlock my phone.
So, here's what I thought: Maybe here's someone who can actually develop or figure out a solution for this since many solutions are available for S6/S6e and many other t mobile phones, but not for S7.
I can be tester and provide any files/dumps if needed or anything you guys ask.
I believe I'm not the only one with this problem and if we try hard enough, we can do this. Many people can benefit from this also, so let's be useful.
To mods, if you believe this is a wrong place to post this thread, please move it where it belongs.
Thanks to you all.
So your idea is just to look at other device solutions? [emoji1]

We probably wont see a direct unlock solution on these T-Mobile/MetroPCS QUALCOMM based Galaxys for some time. The older models you mentioned are Exynos based CPUs, they are being unlocked all the time. Unlock app or trusted server for imei unlock is our only solutions for now.

I stand with you. I think a bounty would be appropriate. I go loads of s7 and s7 edge to unlock. I may be at a huge loss if no unlock comes

I believe of we have alot of people working toward it something interesting would come out if it. Considering s8 is also there, more people Wil be requiring unlock. It's only a matter of time
Factory reset your phone, then try to use the device unlock. You can select temporary unlock or permanent unlock. Once you are done you will have a sim unlocked device.

Actually, MetroPCS s7 & s7e device unlock is available for $20 and Qualcomm S6 and below is also unlockable, there are many remote unlock services on ebay/various websites for those devices.
I've been* trying to unlock my S7 since April but no luck.
I know this issues with t-mobile Quallcomm Galaxys are about locked bootloader but that's the only thing I found out.
If someone can make bounty pool or something similar, I would gladly participate.

Yup. I'm on android 7.0. I could go back to 6.0.1 too. Why do you think this is a method to unlock? You need to connect to Tmobile database to unlock. Merely factory reset won't do anything. It's all in the cloud

I know, however when I had issues with the device unlock app a fresh install of the latest version worked and I was able to temporarily unlock for a month.
I did it just now after a factory reset, rooted and running no BS Rom...
T-mobile
I went through the same ordeal. I had to actually call t-mobile and get a representative to unlock it using the phone's IMEI number so it could be used on all carriers. Call them, I'm sure they will unlock it for you. That t-mobile unlock app doesn't do anything. Also under developer options, you need to check OEM unlock before you call t-mobile.
-Just my two cents, Bob

My device asks for active cellular connection in order to get temporary unlock, but I can't get carrier signal since phone is locked.... are you T-Mobile customer and were you using their sim card? I am not.

Called them maybe 10 times, even used their facebook page. Every single customer representative said phone is fully paid and nothing is blocking it but they can't help me because I'm not actual / original phone owner on their database, and person I purchased this phone from has no idea what unlock is, he's impossible to deal with. Maybe you have any tips for me?
Thank you everybody for taking your time and helping us.
Just a quick update, I just flashed latest G930U firmware and after SIM card insertion, phone asks for unlock code, which of course I have no idea what it is

I think you and @boobteg have a paid off devices eligible for unlock. What you need to know ow is that the device unlock app doesn't work on custom roms. It requires a stock rom. There are some of us who are not eligible for unlock.
Any progress?
none so far
Same Solution
Hi! im having the same problem, i cant unlock my s7 tmobile with device unlock app, every place i try say it that the service is down. II flashed with the g930U, now the smartphone ask me for an unlock code, there is anyway to find that "unlock code" to unlock the phone in this way? Or maybe installing an non stock rom is possible to unlock the phone?
Help!! i cant use it in my actually country

For now, no way to unlock..
I bought a Moto G 7 from T-Mobile 5 months ago, but now I'm travelling abroad and can't use any local sim card because its sim locked and T-Mobile's won't unlock it for me. Is there any way to bypass that application?
When I insert the new sim card I get a screen saying that I can unlock it remotely (it is denied on that app). All I need to how to type the code to unlock it.
Lol help me out on a code i broke my bold n1 couple weeks ago and have this g7 power its locked thru metropcs BUT the bootloader is unlocked and you can flash the latest "RETAIL" rom follow link mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ocean/official/RETAIL/
And after flashin put your new carrier sim into phone then youl be prompt to type in network unlock code..

Hello. I`ll use this thread because of I have same issue. I flashed my metropcs with retail firmware and now it prompts me for code. Is it possible to be unlocked in that way?
So, just an update: I managed to replace the moto g power os, so now I have it debranded but it keeps asking for a code to unlock the sim card. I bought the Pantech UCC 2.0 (which was supposed to generate the code) but it didn't work. So now I'm looking for something to generate that code
If anyone got any tool or device that generates that for the moto g 7 power please let me know.

After the debranding (installing the original os) the unlock app is no longer avaiable, so I get the default window asking for the code. Thing is I don't have the code

I mean I`m not sure that it is possible this phone to be unlocked by code since originally it is implemented to be unlocked by app.
I do believe it is possible since its the same screen I've seen on so many other apps. The unlock app was a mod Tmobile delivered with the version of the android operating system. When I replaced it, it went back to the default screen, so all I need now is a way to generate that code, it seems
