I recently switched from an HTC One X to a Moto X. I was thinking the One X might be more marketable if it was SIM unlocked. Will the unlock process work even though the phone is de-activated or should I have done it prior to activating the Moto X (in which case, oh well...)?

Can anyone recommend the cheapest and reliable way to unlock the Rogers HTC ONE X?
Is the phone is rooted can the sim be unlocked afterwards?
Thanks
If you mean unlocking the phone so that you can use it let's say on Bell. You can it's 7,99$ from cellunlocker.net takes about 1hr before you get the unlock code.
You can get the SIM unlock codes from your SIM provider. It's usually free.
There's a couple of post on how-to root your HTC One X
7.99 seems pretty cheap considering average price to unlock it is like $20
I unlocked my Rogers HTC One X through cellunlocker.net for the $7.99. I got the code before one hour was up and now it works perfectly with Koodo. The only thing that I had to do was manually enter in the Koodo APN information to get my data, but that was easy to do.
I've used HTC SIM Unlock several times. They even have a money back guarantee if the unlock code does not work. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1
SIM unlock and root are typically not directly related (dependent on each other). You should be able to SIM unlock fine if you are rooted.

Are you sure the HTC One X wasn't working with Koodo b4 sim-unlocking it online? Cuz I just put in a Fido sim in my Rogers HOX and it worked to my big surprise. Did you try it b4? thanks!

Welcome to Canada's Telecom Monopoly. Fido, Chatr is a part of rogers, Virgin Mobiles is from Bell. It doesnt matter whether you are using FIDO or CHATR, both are connected to the Rogers network.
BTW, i've unlocked mine from http://cellunlocker.net/htc-unlock.php, Its the fastest & cheapest way to unlock your phone, they have video instructions on how to unlock as well
I have an HTC One on T-Mobile that I have to send back to HTC to get repaired, I need something to tied me over till then. I have a Razr Maxx that I used to have on Verizon previously and want to use that in the interim.
I have read on here that it's unlocked out of the box, but when I put my T-Mobile sim card in it, it doesn't work. What else do I have to do to it in order to get it to function?
Hello,
I am on AT&T carrier using on HTC ONE X and I am looking forward to buy Verizon MOTO G prepaid no contract phone @ BestBuy as it is on sale for $100. I was wondering whether it will work on my AT&T carrier or not as I am on 2 year contract.
And if I unlocked it, can I still get the android updates.
HELP!!!
It won't because CDMA doesn't work with GSM (part of the reason why CDMA phones are cheaper)

It is a make of CDMA/GSM right, so the guy selling the phone told it can be.
How about unlocking it and use???

Hi there i have a 1st Gen Moto G that i have had a while. It was sold to me as unlocked but never actually used another sim.
I recently sold it on and the buyer cannot use it with another sim and is asking for network unlock code
Purchased one off ebay but told its not correct and all other codes come back the same
he has then tried a sim from the same network as me....this now leads me to believe something really wrong has somehow gone on
When i sold it i reflashed the original Rom onto it. Have i done something in doing this??
I have a problem, I don't like the maxx anymore, the new ones are out and I still don't have lollipop. Now to the question- I am still under a contract and still paying the phone off, if I buy the maxx 2 or nexus 5x can I just activate it right away or do I have to wait till my contract is up? I would be replacing my maxx
If it's verizon you just go to your online account to activate or manage phones and enter the phone and sim numbers to the new phone, same as if you lost your old phone, but a new one and assign the sim card to it. Simple
You don't even have to register the new phone, just pull the sim out of the old phone and stick it into the new one since the micro sim in the Maxx is the standard currently.

what Jonny Wong said will work as long as the device uses the same size sim
Maxx has a nano SIM fwiw.
Is everyone sure that will work though? If I take the sim out of my maxx and put it into the nexus it will definitely work? I though each sim was locked to a certain phone. @Johnny Wong @smokyngordo
it will work without even having to go to a store. They take the exact sim @JH1108. a sim is NOT locked to a phone.

Yes, took the sim out of my Maxx and put it right into my iPhone 6s, no issues.
