Can you help me guys? is that possible? Please note that i am not talking about the bootloader. I got my phone free when i got a postpaid plan on my carrier. the SIM1 is locked(not openline). SIM2 is unlocked but its GSM only(2G). i need to insert a different carrier sim on SIM1 which is WCDMA/GSM(3G) to use it for internet. i'll put my postpaid sim to SIM2 because it's internet connection is crappy. thanks!

When you flash generic firmware with WMShua Flash Tool, your SIM1 and SIM2 will be unlocked. You can use any SIM Card you want.

You should follow 2.14.J.0.68 instructions and just do first 3 steps. The others are for custom recovery, you don't need to do it.

I got the 'STRING: NOT FOUND' error on method one, so I moved to ADB Guide method and successfully unlocked it.

If you unlock the phone, it will still work with the original SIM card.
One possible reason that the other T-Mobile SIM didn't work is that it might not have been a newer 4G-capable SIM card, or the contacts became dirty ( they can easily be cleaned with a pencil eraser).

I am getting an HTC One S that is locked to Orange UK. I'm not in the UK and I'm having a friend ship the phone to me. It is an S4.
This will be my frist Android device, so I'm a bit clueless. I plan on ultimately changing to stock EU firmware, rather than Orange firmware.
Can I change the firmware and remove the SIM lock (I assume simply changing the firmware won't do this?) without an Orange SIM? I have read the threads on how to remove the SIM lock so I'm confident that I can do it, I just don't know what functions can be accessed on the phone without a SIM having never had an Android device before.
I have an Orange uk One S now running trickDroid v7 & if you want to remove the Orange sim lock try this Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491

Thanks, I appreciate the reply.
I have been through that link, I just want to check if I can follow that process without having an Orange SIM in the phone at the time. I'm not sure what parts of the phone can be accessed without a SIM in it.
I've not tryed the sim unlock as yet but use without a sim in connect to play store via wireless will work most of the process is done via the app or cmd prompt so should be workable!

Great, that answers my question then, thanks!
No you don't need an Orange SIM card. The SIM unlock procedure actually required you have a SIM from a different provider so you're good to go with what ever SIM you have. Once you insert a SIM card other than Orange SIM, it will ask for a SIM unlock code.

It is wery common trouble for many of us
You are just using the phone that is sim locked by the operator
Good news is that there is an easy fix for your problem- you have to unlock it
The sim unlocking procedure is been performed by most of the mobile service centers,
You may use google to search for sites that can remotely unlock your device

There are several tipes of 'locks' we users are forced to fight with:
- locked bootloader- not allowing us to flash any custom system to our phone
, this is suposed to save inexpearienced or to quick a user from bricking their devices...
- sim lock- by this procedure your mobile provider wants to make sure you will not be using the phone-
THEY gave you on contract, with another provider's sim card...
Sim lock is a very common policy among mobile carriers but you can remove it quite easily
, without any side effects

Is your device completely paid in full
-- As long as your device is unlocked (60 days after initial purchase from Verizon) then it will work with any SIM
-- Refer to porting out your mobile number to another carrier
-- Power off device, remove SIM card, wait a few minutes, reinsert SIM card and try again
The Verizon modem only works on the Verizon ROM, unfortunately. Unless you want to flash a custom ROM, you have to stick with OxygenOS to keep your cellular data if you have an IN2019.
