Can you make the steps more clear? How to change permissions of the file? Where to place the file? All other steps?

Verizon htc one max works for gsm(global)out of the box though US carriers like AT&T and t-mobile will not work.

I guess what I meant was can this device he used solely on a GSM network. I may be misunderstanding this thread intent. I was thinking this is about network unlocking from one carrier phone to another.

This is flat out incorrect. Verizon max can be used on all us carriers although there will be radio bands (mainly lte) that will not work on those carriers.

You can use this thread to unlock a sprint Max to work on an international cdma carrier (read: no US).

Sim unlock 'should' unlock the phone for any sim. That means the cdma bands it has should be open for use on international cdma carriers as well. Im obv on Verizon but think it would be useful for international folks to know if it unlocks cdma bands.

To unlock CDMA bands there is a different process which needs specific tools like CDMA work shop or DFS

One of us is confused...

'Sim' unlock allows you to put in a sim from a carrier that is not the phones original carrier and it work. This does not unlock any additional radio bands but uses the existing bands already available on the phone. In the case of Sprint Max it has some cdma bands and some gsm bands in the hardware.

So if you sim unlock the Sprint Max it should allow someone with an international cdma carrier (or gsm carrier) sim to use it.

Please tell us if you understand differently.

Mate u need to be a CDMA programmer to understand that
Do u understand nv mode and ruim mode? Sprint one max is programmed to work on nv mode so to flash to other carriers you need spc code to enable diag mode and do nv programming.
But for gsm u pop in ur sim after this method and start using your gsm sim.
People who understand and have liked my post and made use of it
For u to understand first get into details of CDMA programming.

So Im still not sure we are talking the same thing. This thread is about sim unlocking the Sprint Max so it can be used globally. The fact you say you are sim unlocking it for use on gsm is not technically relevant. It is likely already globally unlocked for use. This method is just to get around asking Sprint to globally sim unlock it. It likely can already technically be used on a lot of international cdma carriers.

Thanks fore replying.
However i was able to figure about the issue myself.
The reason why SimUnlockerHelper was not going past the START button screen was that the below SETTING was turned off in Settings menu of the Phone.

Unknown Sources - Allow installation of apps from unknown sources - UNCHECKED

Probably this might be the reason for some of them who reported saying that nothing would happen after clicking on START button on SimUnlockerHelper application

    Wow, Nice work

    I can't download the sim unlock helper from the market. Was it removed?

    Sent from my HTC One Max on Adrenaline using XDA Free mobile app

    yes, was removed.. but you can open the menu with terminal emulator (search in playstore)

    once open terminal emulator type "su" hit enter and grant permissions
    and then type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (copy and paste it) hit enter.
    this will open the menu.>> scroll down and look for Sim Unlock and select it. >>reboot

    Done.
