Hi,
I am in the UK and have an HTC One X currently locked to T-Mobile. Would like to unlock it to all networks. Have tried a number of phone unlock shops but none can unlock it. T-Mobile provides the code for £20. However, looking at the internet, it seems many people have had problems with getting unlock codes from t-mobile even after paying £20. Anyone know of a hack that will network unlock the HTC One X.
Many Thanks
Please Review HTC Flagship 2012 - HTC One X (Endeavor) - Tegra 3 - Mega Information Thread and post there if needed.
Thread Closed. Thank You.

I'm considering buying the AT&T HTC One X, but I'm moving to China soon. Will I be able to carrier unlock this in some way in the next month so I can use it on, for instance, China Mobile? And if so, will I be able to take advantage of 3G?
Sorry about the noob question! I tried searching all over here and Google first but couldn't find any answers.
So far I haven't actually had much luck. I tried with cellunlocker.net and they tried multiple databases and had to refund my money.
So, hopefully a sim unlock is available via other unlockers or soon.
International one x doesn't work in china?

Bootloader is still locked. AT&T wont unlock it not yet proabaly soon. Planning to use this for Tmobile as well.
How familiar with china are you? China has their own kind of cdma and I don't know if they even have gsm carriers there. You'll need to see what kind of carrier you'll be using over there, and no there is no way to carrier unlock the one x nor will there be anytime soon.

Haven't tried them personally but

There are more sites that can do it. I've also heard of people getting the unlock code off eBay for pretty cheap. Just don't have a link for it.
And make sure you have a different companies sim in order to be able to enter the code

I have done mine here http://www.cellunlock.net/mobile/default.aspx
They charge you 10$ , once you send your MEI number they will send the unlock code in 15 min
I heard you can get it down for cheap like 3-4$ on eBay . Refer to above post

Edit: you need to post in Question&Answers thread not in General
Have you tried contacting the carrier? They usually give me the unlock code for free.
Not until at least November. That's what I was told when I called.
Hi there,
I recently bought a cheap Rogers HTC One X in mint condition off my local classifieds ($300). It is locked to Rogers and I need to use it on Telus. What is the best way to unlock it? Is there any way to unlock it for free? I am not experienced at all with Android, I'm coming from an iPhone but would really like to get this working because I'd love to get rid of it and just use my One X.
Please help
No free options yet. You would have to buy an unlock code online

Or you could just go.to the carriers store ans get it unlocked. Tell then you have family over seas and you're buying it as a birthday present. Most of the carriers will unlock it for free.

Actually after an amount of time with good standing they are these days.
Though one like Telus charges 50, so its not worth it versus a few bucks online.

Will using an unlock code permanently unlock the phone? Also, will the unlock be removed by changing ROMs, unlocking the bootloader, etc? Is the unlock code a one-time use kind of thing? How do they even get these unlock codes?

Unlocking your phone unlocks the branding on your phone. Like if you have AT&T and you put as T-Mobile SIM card in, it won't work. If it was unlocked and you did that, it would work.
If you changed your Rom, no. Each phone has their own imei number, therefore it only has one unlock code. As for it being a one time use, no. And if you unlocked your bootloader, no.
The unlock code will perm unlock your phone so you can use it internationally and with different carriers as long as they use SIM cards(and if that card fits in your phone).

Thanks everyone for the replies so far, I really appreciate it! :good: I have only a few last questions before my problem is resolved:
1.) Where is the best place/website to get an unlock code from (in terms of price, success, etc) ?
2.) How do I enter in the unlock code into my phone?

I would try and tell you but, I have never done it and I don't want to be the one to send you down the wrong path and something go wrong.
Hi, so I bought an HTC Desire S and it's locked to Orange UK. I S-OFFed and tried sieempi's method but it's still network locked. Is there any generator or tweak like the HTC Desire/Sensation to get the code? It's urgent as this is my new personal smartphone.
Thanks in advance

Urgent? No it's not. On Christmas day nothing is really urgent.
You can either ask your current network provider for the unlock code (may have to pay them) or get hold of an XTC-Clip (Buy, rent, shop ...) and definitely have to pay.
There is no software method for network unlock on the Desire S.
There's a xtc-clip page on xda with members that have access to them
This Christmas I've decided to put a mistletoe in my back pocket....so all the people I dont like can kiss my ass.

But there must be a unlock code somewhere in those mmcblk blocks, like on the One S, Desire (bravo) and the Sensation, why wouldn't there by any on the Desire S? HTC must have hidden it somewhere... Any guess?
Here's a guess: this phone is out for almost a couple of years now, and if the way to unlock it was so simple that a noob could guess it - I guess it would have been unlockable by now.
You can, of course, read and learn how SIM unlock is done on the other "sister" phones (G2/DZ/DHD/MT4G), and what's preventing DS from having the same treatment, and what's needed to make it work. But something tells me that you won't do that.
Hi, I live outside the US and I'm planning to purchase a HTC One X+ 64GB (AT&T). Is it possible to activate this device outside the US without an AT&T sim? And to unlock it later to use it with another carrier outside the US? Thanks a lot.:fingers-crossed:

How did you miss the sticky..
As mentioned, this forum is only for the One X (dual core version), and the X+ is a completely different device, hardware wise. You'll likely find a better answer in the proper forum.
But while I'm not 100% on this, I think the AT&T activation process is just to get the phone working on their network and the correct AT&T account. I don't think its required to power on the device. You should be able to turn it on just fine, insert another carrier's SIM, and enter in the proper SIM unlock code.
Buying AT&T devices for use overseas seems to be somewhat common on here. So perhaps somebody can chime in with some first-hand experience.
With that said thread closed.
