what do you mean branded or unbranded?is it fake or orginal?
how do i know if it is branded?
i think its all original cause i alredy rooted it and flash it to 6.5.1 XE

when i search network and select the correct network for my simcard it says
"Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
and when i turn it to automatic select network it says
"Unable to connect to this newwork at this time.Please try again later"
what does that means

Seems like you need to get an unlock code.

Hey,
I've already got my SIm Unlock code (this guide helped me get it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233513 )
However when I placed my non-TMobile Sim, I don't get the "SIM Code" popup. This phone belongs to my godfather and he's not sure if he tried entering the code too many times when he tried to use an AT&T Sim.
How can I check if its permanently locked and/or force it to bring up the Sim code popup?
I'm rooted with S-OFF but still on the stock HTC rom.
Thanks.
Edit: I've done the Diag screen to Clean S58 Data and it's still not showing up.. :-/
Edit 2: Scratch the above. I did the Clean S58 data twice, and I got signal. My godfather will love this!

Branded or unbraded doesn't mean fake or original.
Branded = it came with your sim carrier (any logo of your carrier on it?)
Unbranded= means the opposit
If you have a branded phone, you can use only the sim of your carrier unless you unlock it.
This is why I asked. Good luck!

Are you using your phone outside the US or in the US with a different carrier? I've had moderate success using the international version of some of the ROMs. Right now I'm on ARHD 11.1 with the stock VZW kernel flashed after letting it boot up once, and it works just fine. No roaming triangle or incessant roaming notifications, and no warning about non-Verizon sims. This was I can control my roaming for leaving my sim card's network, instead of being on always roam.

i havent had any problems with it in the past. There is some info on the store about how it locks it down to secure it and there is a work around to get rid of the lock screen or something like that, but i've used it a ton in the past with no ill effects.

If you're using foxfi on 4.4 read the instructions carefully after you start it's service. It tells you to go into the settings and repeatedly toggle the hotspot till it becomes active.
If you're using foxfi on 5.1, then you're out of luck. the only thing you can do is use PDAnet+, which is Foxfi's version of tethering.

Thanks for ur reply...It repeatedly says (non verizon sim....sim not supported)........should I still continue pressing the hotspot button

If you're unable to root it and/or obtain S-OFF, alternative firmware is not an option.

Before I obtained S-Off and full root I was able to obtain temproot with Weaksauce2 and use this for tether:

Why not use Sunshine to obtain S-Off and do whatever you want with it? A patch for native VZW tether id available here once you have full root.

First off, you have to unlock your bootloader, then obtain s-off and root your phone. Then you can flash European firmware and it won't be a problem

my phone is s-off and rooted, please tell me how to fix hotspot problem

SIM Unlock - Your phone is not yet personalized. ???

Purchased a used D850 that was supposedly unlocked. Is there any way to verify other than trying other SIMS (which I don't have)? Picked up a code from an eBay seller and when I enter 2945#*850# each of the 5 menu items returns "Your phone is not yet personalized" with "Dismiss" as the only option.

You need to put a non AT&T sim in it to find out.

I put in a PagePlus (Verizon) SIM and phone booted normally (AICP Lollipop) and there is no service; there wasn't any message about SIM.

Well there is your problem, You can't use the D850 on PagePlus/Verizon... Verizon is CDMA carrier not GSM. The only reason why Verizon uses sim cards is for LTE.
You'd only be able to use a VS985 or a LS985 on page plus.

I am aware of that.
I switched from PagePlus (Verizon) using the VS985 to Cricket (AT&T) using the D850 with the Cricket SIM. The person I bought the D850 from said it was SIM unlocked and I'm trying to verify that; I've purchased an unlock code for the D850, but when I dial the code I mentioned above each of the five options returns the "Your phone is not yet personalized" message with the only option being "Dismiss."
You then told me to insert a non-accepted SIM so I inserted the PagePlus (Verizon) SIM.

Ahh so you where just testing? Well using a Verizon system to test is not a good test. But wait your trying using a Cricket sim? A D850 does not have to he unlocked to work on Cricket, AT&T Go Phone, H20 and other AT&T mvnos. It just works.
If your trying to use a non AT&T/mvno sim then it would need to be unlocked like if you wanted to use T-Mobile.
Also if the phone is locked you CANT unlock it using a custom ROM, you have to flash it back to stock. But if your using it on Cricket the phone doesn't have to be unlocked.

I want to unlock the D850 for international use, specifically using LTE Band 1. The "Your phone is not yet personalized" message only appears when I boot the stock ROM; I can't access the menu in any custom ROM.

So your using the back to stock guide and going 100% completely back to stock before trying by using the tot method right?
So are you trying to use the Verizon sim to unlock it? If so that might be a problem and you'd need something like a T-Mobile sim

Yep, it had Lollipop when I got it, so I tot'ed back to KK.
The seller of the unlock code's instructions indicate their code will work with the Cricket SIM or an "unapproved" SIM, so I restored stock KK and entered the 2945etc code and received the message that is the title of this thread.
Perhaps the phone is already unlocked, as the person from whom I bought it said it was. I don't know this to be true, so I'm trying to verify before travel.

The only way to verify is use a T-Mobile sim or non USA sim.

You can get a T-Mo sim for free. Either go into a T-Mo store, or get one on their site.

I inserted a T-Mobile SIM and dialed 2945#*850# and after selecting each of the five options I recieved the "Your phone is not personalized" message.
Perhaps the phone is already unlocked? The carrier logo at the top left of the screen said T-Mobile, and when I went into Settings/About Phone it said T-Mobile LTE.

Your phone is unlocked. If your phone was locked when you turn it on it will tell you. I'm not sure but that code I don't think has anything to do with unlocking lol. You never enter a code in the dailer. You always just enter your unlock code when you boot your phone.
Your phone is unlocked or you wouldn't be seeing the T-Mobile network.

I'm having a similar situation. I have the 851, and I'm receiving this same message. The phone was locked to T-Mobile, but I want to use it for Metro. Please help.

Call the original carrier of the phone, they should be able to get the unlock code. If not them, call ur carrier.

I got unlocked code from AT&T but did not get the unlock screen when I boot the phone with other sim card. The unlock did not work when I get to the unlock screen by dialing a special code. After reverting the phone to a stock ROM, the unlock works as the instruction that come with the unlocked described. Thanks

VZW HTC One M8 root?

Hello,
I have been searching and searching for a way to root this phone - Verizon HTC One M8. I'm tired of the 30 apps or so of bloatware and simply want to run my own launchers, etc without hindrance. I've heard sunshine might work, but i have not yet found a detailed guide for this process. If there is one please reply with link as I have searched and not found a guide.
Edit: I am running Marshmallow. (android 6.0). In the sunshine excel compatibility file there is something that confuses me as well. When i look at the boxes for HTC One M8 it says: Verizon m8 is network unlocked out of the box (all Verizon post paid phones are sim unlocked, prepaid are locked and we don't unlock them) - what does this mean? I want to root the phone to permanently get rid of the bloatware - can I?
Thanks,
