Hi,
I've recently got a Cricket HTC One SV, what i want to know is how to unlock it for use on other GSM based carrier. i've checked it website, but didnt got any fruitful result, currently im in pakistan and wanted to unlock it for use on local networks.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ranish Ali
I'm pretty confident that the K2_PLC_CL variant is an American phone so I wouldnt even begin to know how to help you.

Hi Guys,
I'm just won the HTC One E8 sprint version on an ebay auction, i didnt received the phone yet but i already know that is locked to sprint, i started to look for an unlocking code in trusted websites like cellunlocker.net and masterunlockcode but they dont have listed codes for the E8 sprint version.
Is there any possibility or working method to gsm unlock the HTC ONE E8 sprint version ?.
Thanks and regards,

***Here's my story trying to get GSM sim card to work on E8.***
Before I bricked my E8, I was able to get it UNLOCK (S-OFF) via SunShine(Theroot.ninja, cost you $25). I confirmed that with Sprint's original rom, you won't be able to use any GSM sim cards WHATSOEVER. (I've tried AT&T's & T-mobile) However, *I think* the correct procedure should be: 1.) get it S-OFF, 2.) change cid by fastboot oem writecid & 3.) wipe or install new rom in order to get GSM sim card recognized. Hopefully this info helps.
**BTW, can any one spare some time and do a TWRP backup for me to recover my messed-up E8? I would be very appreciated.

Wow this is a great news. Thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try when I get my normal boot screen back and see how it works.
Does anyone confirm that the E8 can be SIM unlocked?

Don't update to lollipop otherwise you won't be able to unlock it.

That's not acurate.
I have a Sprint HTC One E8 with lollipop (5.0.2) and it was sucessfully unlocked. I am using it right now.
You must try sunshine and buy a license. ATT an T-mobile sims will not work.

Hi everyone. I'm in a similar situation. I live in Italy (sorry for my english, guys ) and I bought a branded Sprint HTC One E8 too from USA (single sim and made in Taiwan version). It arrived here supposedly unlocked (my UMTS sim works fine) and with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 installed on.
My intention is to upgrade it to Lollipop but I'm wondering if it is possible, because:
1. If I flash the Spring rom, what happens? Should the phone remains unlocked or it will be re-locked to Spring? And how will I be able to unlock it again?
2. If I change CID and install a stock rom (asian or european ones), I don't know if my sim card will work properly, because the Asian and European Rom are Gsm rom while the Spring rom is WCDMA rom( very similar to UMTS), as reported in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
Very confused I need your support, thanks in advance :good:

Do you know if the previous owner had the phone unlocked by sprint? You should flash a custom recovery , do a backup and the try tu update to 5.0. If you lose GSM capabilities you can go back to 4.4
Do not flash any Asian or European roms, most of them are dual sI'm and sprint is single
So does anyone know a method to remain unlocked
My E8 is working fine on 4.4.2 with sprint badboy unlock but will it stay that way if i update to latest by OTA.

Unlock is permanent even if you take OTA. If you don't want to take a risk just do a backup of your current version and take the OTA, if you lose your unlock go back to your previous version.
Still not sure about it
Someone on other thread said that if u update u loose unlock and than u can't go back.
So has anyone tried.

Hey so I have a HTC one m8 that I acquired from a friend. It was a Verizon phone but I have heard many times that it is completely possible to get it to function on tmobile (or ting that we will want to go to eventually). This phone is running the official OS. Nothing rooted our bootloaded yet. What do I need to do?
