[Q] Getting unlock code after repair

..alee · Jan 3, 2014

I sent my HTC one to HTC for repair and got it back after 2-3 weeks which is now locked to AT&T. I contacted a vendor and paid him $30 bucks to get me the unlock code (he provided me the unlock code earlier for HTC One when i actually bought it). After 3 weeks, he said that he couldn't get the unlocked code even from AT&T servers.

Does someone know how to unlock HTC One now ?

Did you get yours fixed by mobile tech vids.com? I just got mine back from them after a month and my phone is revived but can't use it because it won't except any unlock code. I tried to buy one the guy said it was a premier code and was gong to cost me 30 bucks or so.
Is your serial number the same and imei the same? (Same as when u sent it in for repair?) Mine are different than they were and I think I can fix it myself .
I will let you know if anything happens on my end

no, I got it fixed from HTC and they changed my serial number too (probably they sent a new phone since IMEI is for each device and can't be changed). regardless, I used http://www.cellunlocker.net/ to get a new unlock code. It took them sometime but they actually provided me a working code.

IMEI can't be changed ? What? Of course it can. I have an HTC one jtaged with different s/n and IMEI.
Mobile tech videos said those numbers had to be regenerated and now it would seem I have a whole different motherboard. Locked to no network. It won't even run on ATT. I don't seem to understand why xda will shut down a forumn if it's even a thought to mess with the iemi but I can't say all but I know one company changing dev blocks and blaming the brick.
If I can't talk about it how can i work on a solution to unlock the unlockable ?

In the US the IEMI is Hardcoded to the motherboard ( or so I was told) ...if your number changed your motherboard was changed. pretty simple huh

SIM lock is one byte flag in radio config partition (mmcblk0p17, change 0x7000A4 from 01 to 00 with a hex editor.) If you're s-off, it's no trouble at all.
