I've run into a bit of a roadblock in the process of unlocking my HTC One E8 from Sprint. I called up Sprint and received an unlock code; however, upon inserting my new SIM (T-Mobile), I was not prompted to enter an unlock code. After speaking with Sprint again I was told that the actual unlock process would have to be completed on T-Mobile's end. So, I took the phone to T-Mobile and a representative attempted to unlock the phone but said he couldn't do it (The store was busy so all he tried to do was edit the APN settings, but he was unable to do so and quickly told me he would be unable to assist me further).
So pretty much I am sitting here with an unlock code, but no actual way (or knowledge) of how to use it to unlock the phone to work with T-Mobile. I feel like the answer is quite simple, but after looking through numerous forum posts I have not come across anyone with the same problem or a solution. I fear that my only remaining option is to root/s-off to unlock this phone. As someone who is not well versed in all things technical, I hope that there are other options for me to explore.
Any help at all is very much appreciated!

Hi All..
I have posted this as a post in many threads.
I have HTC Fuze (AT&T) with the Stock ROM and features.
I purchased this model in US and currently I am in India and tried to use it
I obtained the proper unlock code from AT&T and entered it from the QWERTY Keyboard and also the touch screen entry
But this failed to unlock it.
But I tried unlocking it for 4 times
Later I called AT&T and asked help they asked me to do whatever was done before once from Keyboard and once from screen
Now I get a message stating
"You have tried 6 times so far Please wait untill timeout"
I informed AT&T Regarding this they say Your phone is now permanently locked to AT&T We are sorry for the trouble.
Is ther any way I can do the SIM Unlock and use it for other n/w apart from AT&T.
Please help me in this.

I read in this post ppl have successfully SIM unlocked the Kaiser even after permanently locked to AT&T
Is there anything similar SuperCIDUnlocker for Fuze ?
All suggestions and help appreciated.
I have heard of incidents of Fuze being pemanently unlocked even after proper code entered, the code being provided by AT&T
Now i cant see the option of using Olipro's Unlocker as it has been locked to aT&T and the "OK" button is not enabled

Have you tried the sim unlocker for Raphael?
you can find it in wiki.
Dear all i am new captivate owner.Living in pakistan.My captivate is "sim free", but locked to AT&T network.Can anyone tell me how to unlock this phone without AT&T sim card inserted in it.Thanks in advance.
Assuming you have the unlock code, you would insert a Non-AT&T SIM in order to get the phone to prompt you to enter it.
If you already have the unlock code from AT&T, the information at the end of the YouTube video is all you need. As is stated above, start the phone with NO SIM CARD and follow the instructions on the phone's screen.
As AT&T will not release the unlock code to a phone/account that is less than ten months old--with some exceptions--you may be forced to pay for the unlock code if you don't already have it. AFAIK, if you don't have an AT&T account, they will not provide an unlock code to you in any case... although, you may be able to sweet-talk a rep into helping you over the phone. Additionally, there are many "for a charge unlocking services" on the 'Net.
These two links might be of help to you. You'll find a lot of references with a Google search for "unlock samsung captivate at&t" and many on XDA-Developers as well. Good luck.

Hi everyone,
I currently have a T-Mobile locked G1 which I got from a friend a while ago, and now my primary phone is broken. I would like to use the G1 for now, but upon booting with the AT&T SIM card inserted I am prompted for an unlock code. I called T-Mobile to get the unlock code and they told me that I have to be a customer to get the unlock code, but that any T-Mobile customer could call in for me and get the code.
If anyone with T-Mobile would be willing to phone in to T-Mobile for me with the IMEI and get the unlock code for me, I would be extremely grateful. I can also send you a few bucks via paypal if you like for the assistance.
i understand where you are coming from but actually its not that any Tmo customer can get it unlocked its actually the phone needs to be used at least for a few calls on that customers acct. I work for Tmo so have come across this a time or two. You may try and Google Search it a bit or look in the forums and see if there is any unlocks that carrier unlock in the G1 forum or maybe a website online that would get you that unlock code..

Alright, I appreciate the help anyway. The rep I talked to said any TMo customer could do it, or she could give me the number to Google and see if they can help, so I guess I'll try that. Thanks.
So I've done a large amount of searching, not only on XDA but elsewhere to find a real 'answer' to my question, but I haven't found anything concrete, hence this thread.
I have aquired a Droid 2 Global from VZW for free, and I want to use it with my US ATT SIM, on the US ATT GSM Network.
Things i have done:
- Flashed the phone to the stock OS in order to....
- Flash the radio so it accepts ATT GSM signal
- Aquired the sim unlock code from ATT for my current phone/sim (I'm unclear on exactly what this whole sim unlock process is about, perhaps why I'm asking)
The phone boots, but when I have my SIM inserted, it asks for the unlock code.... What exactly IS it asking for?
The SIM unlock that I recieved from ATT doesn't work.. (I assume this is the unlock for my sim, in my current phone?)
What is the next step, if this is possible? I've looked at getting the phone unlock code via ebay, or one of the piggyback devices like TurboSIM, but I'm unsure what will work, if anything will work?
Help??
Thanks in advance for any info provided
It asks for the unlock code you can get from VZW's Global Support if you are a VZW customer.

Well, since I'm at ATT customer, how would I go about getting this code? I do have a friend that works for VZW, which is how i got the phone, and he is willing to assist me. Can he provide it?
The phone must be on an active line of service, and the billing history must be clean for the past 6 months.
If your friend works for Global Support, then maybe. If not, I doubt it.
Hmph..
I guess I overestimated the difficulty of getting this to work. It was just another case of having to get the unlock code from the phone itself via IMEI number,and yahtzee, working as I had hoped.
For some reason I had the notion that it was significantly more difficult after reading all of the posts about trying to get other SIMs to work.. but its actually very very straight forward and easy.. it just seemed that nobody had ever really made it clear that a US ATT sim could work on a VZW D2G handset with US ATT service.
Thanks for your input!
