Nope, I think you need to buy the developer version.
Seems like it is unlocked.

It may be carrier unlocked, but the bootloader is locked down and I think that's what the OP was asking about.
Sim unlocked i mean

The phone is unlocked, multiple people are reporting using it fine on T-Mobile (the only issue is using LTE and 2G/3G at the same time, doesn't seem to be possible at this time)

Did you unlock it?
SIM/carrier unlock should be different from bootloader unlock?
Do we have a way of getting this phones unlock code - or does this not apply to this device?
..CDMA device. Regardless if unlocked for another SP will not work on a GSM locked network in the US. GSM networks system will not recognize the CDMA IMEI.
I have no problem buying unlock key, just want to make sure it's unlock-able before buying it...
Looked at here and seem lots of people failed to unlock the sim lock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639644
and, after it's unlock, I just have to unlock also BootLoader from hasoon2000 and it's voila, the custom rom!?
Thank you.
Bump, and see if it works!
Maybe I should just look for carrier-unlocked...
You shouldn't have a problem

No one here ever tried to unlock their AT&T One X?
That thread in my main post really scared me...
Rogers phones are apparently difficult to get codes for. But any decent unlocking service should tell you if it's possible before charging you
Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
Cause I'm buying one from eBay, and they're mostly from AT&T
so it would be pretty inconvenient if I can't get it unlocked to work on Fido...
Ship back, wait it to get arrive, wait for refund, etc etc...
My one x was rogers I has no issue unlocking and it was easy

Okay so I bought a AT&T htc one x. I rooted the phone. Unlocked the boot loader. Now on rebel rom. I put my tmobile SIM card in the phone and it gives me no reception. At all. And says no service. I went to the settings and mobile data, than did network operators. Did select automatically. And says "unable to connect to network at this time, please try again." So than I did search networks. All it pulls up is AT&T and US. So I got curious and tried us and it had no positive return. Now I need help as I seriously just got this phone yesterday and it sucks its just sitting here now. And no I have no phone. Any help would be appreciated.
did you SIM unlock it?
I SIM unlocked mine, and got no reception, but I didn't have a chance to change APNs and such.

Yeah I bought the sim unlock code prior to rooting with success on stock sense but still never had reception.
Update: I disassembled the phone to check the cables to see if any were loose or damaged and to find out that ALL antenna cables are in tact in good shape, connected perfectly and everything, so I know that this is a issue within the software of the phone. I did use an unlock code on the stock os and when I didn't get reception than is when I rooted the phone with still no change. Any help is appreciated thank you!
You still haven't mentioned if you changed your APN settings.
Same thing happened with me last night, but on an iPhone. Just won't get service no matter what SIM I put in.

I did have the apns how they're suppose to be. And I put my sim back in my iPhone and it works fine. Its just every time I put my sim in this phone it will not work. Still really confused because hardware is fine.

What this person said....you have to change apn settings, also did you trim your tmoblie SIM card down to make it fit? Technically if apn if changed and you have a working tmobile SIM it shouldn't be possible to pick up att. Also did you try using it it case icons are saying att but signal is tmobile. You should be able to check what band you are on to verify.....good luck on your quest

Craigslist..? Got an att sim to check out? Maybe a quick call to at&t to verify the imei is not blacklisted if you haven't already
Sent from my HTC One XL
Yes. It was blacklisted sadly. This is why I hate craigslist. I got ripped off. Now I understand why it was so cheap compared to the other ones. I guess it was kinda my fault. Thanks guys for all your suggestions.

It really wasn't what I was hoping. But it sucks they do that but they do what they gotta do. I'm just sol on this phone. Taking a $200 loss. But I think I may just part the phone out considering the screen is brand new and the parts are pricey now days. Well. Not to sure what I'm gonna do with it yet actually. But hopefully something beneficial.

Definitely NOT. The Google Play store mentions in a footnote that it will only work on T-Mobile & AT&T.

Isn't that the Google Edition? That will not work on Verizon. But I believe the OP is asking about the Developer edition.

It could still work, we'd need someone to test. The M7 developer edition supported T-Mobile but only on 3G/FauxG. But flashing the T-Mobile radio to it enabled LTE connectivity.

I was under the impression the Dev edition was GSM only.

Possibly. But the spec sheet for our model doesn't mention the T-Mobile compatibility we've seen so far. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if HTC just used software/firmware to disable bands (or maybe not at all) in order to avoid making 5+ different pieces of hardware.

How long until it ships? If you get it within 12 days, I'll return my retail and go dev.

According to the website, yes. But it very likely has the CDMA radio hardware in there in order to save HTC the cost of manufacturing multiple devices. Much like how our locked model can connect to T-Mobile LTE, though you will find no mention of those bands being supported.

So....does it work?
The only devices that work with Verizon are ones that are "certified" by them. There has been talk of a developer edition specifically for Verizon.

I was looking to buy a used Nexus 5 for a nominal price from eBay, but the phone is locked to a carrier that I don't want to switch to. Is there someone on the forum who can provide unlock codes? I tried doing Google searches, but all of them return unlocking guide for the bootloader. Has anyone unlocked their Nexus 5?
It comes unlocked. It isn't locked to any carrier.

This has come up many times. As the others said, All N5's, even those sold by carriers, are unlocked.
I would use the seller's ignorance against him to get a better price. Tell him it's going to cost you $40 to unlock it and that he's going to have a tough time selling it locked to a carrier. You'll take it if he knocks off the cost of unlocking
