Rogers/ATT HTC One X on WIND/T-Mobile (AWS)

I know the phone comes locked from Rogers, but I was wondering if anyone has used an online unlocking service, trimmed a SIM into a microsim, and tested that the Rogers version does in fact work on WIND.
I will be doing this shortly, so check back for updates!
April 25, 2012 Part 2
I got the SIM from my friend and marked it up.

I cut the SIM down to microsim size.
Booted up my phone, entered the unlock code from cellunlocker.
And got no signal ):
This SIM is (was) working in an HTC Incredible S (international version that supports AWS) immediately before I trimmed it. The trim was successful since the SIM had a PIN lock and unlocking it was successful. I could also see the contacts stored on the SIM.
I went into testing mode to play with the radio settings.
And still get 'No Signal' and 'Emergency Only'.
I've notified HTC again about this and I'll let you know what they advise.
Also, if anyone wants to help me recover the cost of a new WIND SIM ($25), I'd greatly appreciate it, although it's highly unnecessary
April 25, 2012
Just an update: I contacted HTC regarding the discrepancy between the official specifications (AWS on wcdma), and Rogers' specifications (AWS on LTE only) and received this very promising response:
Thank you for contacting HTC. I would be glad to clarify this for you Daniel.
The HTC One X as sold by Rogers Wireless supports the following bands LTE CAT3 - DL 100 /UL 50; LTE: 700/AWS; WCDMA: 2100/1900/AWS/850; EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 .
It should not be a problem for you to use an unlocked version of this device with the Canadian carrier of your choice, if you so choose. To ensure that the tech specs on our support site were accurate, I conferred with our escalations team. You can be confident that it does indeed support the bands as indicated.
As for why these specs differ on the Rogers support page, I cannot say. Originally the specs were posted there the same as the official HTC support page. I have brought this to the attention of the appropriate department internally on your behalf. They will look into contacting Rogers to see about having the data corrected on their site to avoid any further confusion to our HTC customers.
For more tech specs or to get the user manual for this phone, please visit our official support site at http://www.htc.com/ca/support/htconex-rogers/tech-specs/ . On the downloads tab you can access your user guide if necessary. Use the binocular icon on the left to enter keywords. This will search the guide and provide you a list of pages that refer to your search term.
If you have any other questions for me, please don't hesitate to reply Daniel. We are open from 6am to 1am eastern time, 7 days a week.
Thank you again for contacting HTC, and have a great evening!

I'll follow-through on my test run on WIND tomorrow (going to cut up a friend's SIM!).

Thanks. I'll be looking forward to your findings. I'm interested in using it for Mobilicity.

I might wait a little longer before I test this since WIND will officially be selling Microsims when they release the Lumia 710. Going to trim my Rogers sim now though. Wish me luck

Successfully trimmed my Rogers fat-sim into a microsim without much reference (I don't have a microsim to measure or anything). This is a good sign as I should be able to trim the WIND sim once I get this sucker unlocked!

Its about $20 to unlock, which isn't bad. I plan to buy the phone for use on WIND when the price drops a little bit more.
There is no reason why it shouldn't work apart from being SIM locked.

If you'd like to PM me when you're done, I'd like to write about it for the XDA Portal
Try to be as informative as possible lol, so I can better describe to others what you're doing

Did you do the unlock yet? I am very curious if the model can be used on WIND and in return T-Mobile here in the US. VERY VERY curious about this, shoot me a PM as I am willing to donate to your cause to unlock it just so I could find out the truth about the bands.

Just to let everyone know I bought the phone on Friday from rogers and used cell unlocked (google it) it only cost $8 USD and I'm now using it on Telus. The unlock code only took about an hour and they emailed it to me.

Hey, since as far as I can tell your the only one with an unlocked rogers 1x (Hofo/xda at least) do you have any way to test the phone on wind or Moblicity

Just an update, I will be porting my number over to WIND on the 27th or so. This should be the definitive date on whether this actually works and that I can trim my second SIM successfully q:
I've been collecting pictures of the process, and I will probably be writing about it once complete.

Awesome, thanks. I'm stuck waiting till 5/6 to get my hands on one. But for me it's really important that it works on T-Mobile. Because that's what I ideally will be using and so if your test goes smoothly I will know that as a worst case scenario I can always purchase the Rogers model.

No sorry I have no way of testing it on WIND or moblicity I dont think that any o0f my friends on thoes carriers will like it if I cut up there sim card to test lol

Sweet! Can you direct me to the $8 unlock? That would be epic!!!

I would also love to hear about success/failure unlocking and making it work with Wind or Mobilicity! Wooten!

Big ups! Way better than spending $50 some places charge for unlocking new devices!

Hey can you message me too when you get the results.

Does future shop allow to buy it off-contract price? I'm looking to buy it and unlock it to use with wind.

[Completed] New LG G2 phone - this phone is permanently locked and cannot be unlocked

Well as my unfortunate luck has it, I wanted to upgrade my old Nexus 4 to a LG G2 D801 unit. I bought one new-refurbished off ebay and it just arrived recently.
I tried to put in my WIND mobile sim card and realized the phone is not detecting it. After looking into the issue for the majority of the day, it seems that the phone is hard/sim locked.
I went into the area where one would go to unlock the phone, only to be greeted by this unfortunate message.

Now first thing I did was start searching the interwebz....and I can't seem to find much on this.
I am not sure what I can do. The shipping back to China, well that's out of the question due to the high cost.
I can't use the phone as it's a T-Mobile device.
I can't unlock the phone because it's hard locked.
Is there anything I can do to get it working? Does anybody know how I could possibly reset the counter for this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Unfortunally the phone is locked and only the T-Mobile carrier can work on it .
It is locked from factory default state. So there is nothing you can do to unlock it (from what i know).

Hello, thanks for the reply. That's unfortunate for me I guess.
Now when you say, it's locked from the factory default state...If I drive down to the states and buy a T-Mobile LG G2 from the store, would that be also hardlocked?
I am trying to send this phone back to China and I know T-Mobile stores still have the LG G2 as certified pre-owned.

Yes if you buy another T-Mobile phone, you will stick on T-Mobile only and you will not have the ability to use other carrier other than T on that phone... But you will still be able to Root and make all those stuff but to change carrier will not be able to.

Thank you Nilac.
I am a bit confused. The phone I received, it seems like the SIM code unlock was entered 10 times wrong and thus is why the phone is hard locked to T-mobile now.
If I buy a phone from the T-Mobile store, it will be hardlocked also? I don't understand why it would be, since many people have those phones unlocked?

Unlocked but not "Unlocked" from carrier they still stick with that carrier.
If you are looking for example on the S6 forum you will see that there are separated forums for Verizon, T-Mobile etc... They are separated because the phone is not exactly the same as the international model as the carrier modified it, so a separated development needs to be done for that phone.....
You simply cannot uncarrier (from what i know) only if you took your phone to a professional guy who is super expert and can do it, but from what i know it's impossible to uncarrier a phone.... Better always to get an international one in order to avoid these problems

I think maybe I confused you or myself.
The T-Mobile LG G2 will work on the AWS frequency that I require here in Canada for WIND mobile.
If the phone is locked to T-mobile, I could use a service online, provide them the IMEI and the network the phone came from and then I would be given the unlock code to allow the phone to read a SIM card other then T-Mobile.
Example video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m4ru062k_M
Notice when he puts in the prompt to get to the network settings, he can put in a PIN. When I tried that, I get the locked message.

Correct if you have the Verizon version. Not correct if you bought your phone from Google. That screen just means that your bootloader is currently locked. But it's trivial to unlock (and then root, if desired), as long as you don't have the Verizon version.

well..... neither. i in the UK and i got it from CEX so, basically second hand but still a shop so it can be returned if i cant unlock it.

No. the idea of having a locked bootloader is so your phone is protected from the get-go. If you could unlock it and root it then the bootloader would be useless.
If you have been trying to unlock it and haven't been able to 1 of 2 (or possibly both issues) are present:
1. You have Verizon and they have updated the patch so Verizon users are not able to unlock unless a new exploit comes out.
2. You do not have fastboot and/or your phone drivers are not working, so fastboot is not properly working on your computer.
3. Both 1 & 2.

I'm not sure what that means with it being greyed out. I've seen others with that issue. Here in the United States that's not a problem, so it's likely something with the UK or carrier, or something else. I don't know any information beyond that.

In the United States most of the major networks would subsidize or pay for some type of incentive for users to use their networks. They have an interest in keeping the users on their network and prevent taking the device to another network esp after paying incentives for it. I have an old Nexus 6 that Sprint paid for that I got at a very low price that is network locked to Sprint despite it being a global compatible network device.

well no, people still pay for the device they just two it over 2 years rather than upfront. but anyway my point was more that people wanting to a buy a pixel probably want to becaues they dont want the networks to have enhanced / ruined it.
im just annoyed that i now have to go return the thing and waste half a day

You are referring to either a payment plan or leasing which is different. In the past carriers used to offer 2 yr contracts which immediately subsidized the phone's entire cost. The Nexus 6 I was able to get brand new under $200 because of this. Verizon is packing in credit over 24 months, but this is still money that is being used as a subsidy.

HTC Unlock Policy

I'm looking for a new phone and want one I can easily unlock the bootloader on, with no notch. I'm looking at an S9 but now there is a 7-day wait and other hoops to jump through with one variant. Huawei just caved.
Are HTC phones easy to bootloader unlock?
Can I get a US carrier unlocked version, or would I need an international version?

HTC allows for unlocking your bootloader via htcdev.com within a few minutes. Thus it is really easy to unlock every HTC device. Doesn't matter which variant you buy, as all are unlockable via the mentioned website. You should decide which variant you buy according to the carrier you gonna use it on.

Thanks for the quick reply. Just double-checking this though...
Carriers in the US also lock the bootloader of phones from multiple manufacturers.
I'm not familiar with the HTC model. Do they sell through carriers, or direct like OnePlus?

Verizon is selling it, but in most regions you got to buy it from HTC right away. You might register to the HTC Club using your email to see if there's a 10% discount available, as e.g. on HTC Club in Germany.

No carrier is carrying the U12+. It's certified to work on Verizon but Verizon will not be carrying it. It's either through HTC direct or Amazon. Either way since it's not carrier locked or through them you should be able to unlock the bootloader rather easily.

According to HTC's product guy at Wednesday's HTC U even in NYC all U12+ are essentially the same, unlocked phones.

It is certified by T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, regardless which version you buy, I was told by an HTC product guy. As for T-Mobile I can attest to this: wifi calling is always a PITA but I opened my unlocked one from the box on the spot, put it on the bar's wifi, disabled mobile data and voila, wifi calling worked right away with my very first call, straight out of the box (usually never the case with a phone you didn't buy from TMO.)

Easy
You can unlock the bootloader in settings in the htc 12. Go to settings, system, about phone, software information, more, then tap build number multiple times to unlock developer options go to them and OEM bootload unlock will be a switch a few down in the settings.

You can unlock the bootloader in settings in the htc 12. Go to settings, system, about phone, software information, more, then tap build number multiple times to unlock developer options go to them and OEM bootload unlock will be a switch a few down in the settings.

this is NOT the unlock bootloader method. it just disables the security so you can use HTCdev step by step guide to unlock it

Piggybacking on what DeeZZ said, it disables the security so you can use the HTCdev website. I would follow it pretty closely. Be sure you have USB debugging enabled and you are savvy with adb and fastboot commands. As always PERFORM A BACKUP after booting twrp and flashing the twrp installer. Keep a RUU handy as well.

According to HTC's product guy at Wednesday's HTC U even in NYC all U12+ are essentially the same, unlocked phones.

Are they though? Maybe in the US - however, internationally, my U12+ has FeLiCa on it, which the US version doesn't

Question I can't find any solution for my tmo pixel 7 pro

People have denied that this even is something that can be on this phone. I've search everywhere any advice, I reached out to my carrier, I've even just given it time. The checkin dialer code verifies on connected to Internet but still, my OEM unlock is grayed out and says connect to the Internet or contact your carrier. It's some bs. I've read this is what Verizon models will display and it's a lost cause but this was a brand new tmo pixel 7 pro and I triple checked the packaging it has the T-Mobile information inside the box and the seal states it tmo. I just wanna unlock my bootloader. I've ran out of ideas and looked everywhere, so I'm posting to get some advice please if you have anything lemme know.

And what did the carrier say?

Regardless of which carrier you have, you must fully pay off the device before you can have them normally allow for OEM unlocking if you did not purchase the "factory unlocked" version of the device. Of course, there are ways around that via contacting your carrier before fully paying off the device. But you mentioned that you had contacted them.
So, as @bobby janow said: what did the carrier say?

Contact tmo thru Twitter tech support until u get someone to unlock the BL.. Keep trying

The carrier had no clue what it was and they weren't sure what to do I spoke with several people and nothing. ive gotten many devices unlocked by pestering the Twitter folk till they unlock it and here is the kicker I've had 2 tmo people try to unlock it now it didn't let them and even paid a company to try and it says it is blocked for potential motherboard replacement. But its a brand new phone. I have the op 10 pro still on contract rooted unlocked obv and twrp on it as of a few days ago. Just this phone is being weird

You cannot unlock without a full sim unlock. Not a temporary one.
@tmobilehelp on Twitter can help you.

Is the prompt asking for and internet connection or contacting the carrier normal?

Dude, never, ever, ever buy a phone from a carrier if you plan to unlock/root your phone.

Yo the TMobile people lied to me and screwed sending me 3 broken OnePlus 10 pros one after the other through insurance and then I got drunk and spent 8 hours *****ing and they gave me a brand new 10 pro and a new pixel 7 pro completely free of charge

Can I really complain that much!?!?!

Btw I have discovered a lot of Verizon deep links and bs in activity launcher does anyone know what numbers of the IMEI determine the carrier for verizon

I just got my Pixel 7 PRO yestersday. In the same day I had it unlocked and a custom ROM put on it. Although I was honest and told them I needed it unlocked for development reasons. Plus I've had 3 phones through them that were sim unlocked before being paid off. I guess part of it might be a trust thing.

I'll just get a new pixel it's just a dumb fault I guess yes I know it has to be paid to do the permanent unlock except through Twitter it's a strange issue that I have

The best thing you can do is take it slow and easy and keep trying different people. You can always try hitting them up on Twitter

They can do it. They're just choosing not to. The same day I got my pixel 7 pro I had it unlocked. So I know they can do it

@avid_droid went through the exact same thing (t-mobile, not first time unlocking, talking through twitter, reaching reps who don' t know anything, etc.)...
I'll link his thread speaking on it below...maybe you can commiserate together
TMobile shenanigans
So as of late, TMobile doesn't unlock devices now unless you meet their requirements. The 40 day connected and paid off rule. Impressed they are tight on this now. I recently had a OnePlus 9 pro that was paid off and bought elsewhere and they...
