Thank you , but i downgraded the Hboot 1.55 to Hboot 1.4, and lowered software version to 1.29.651 through ruu. I ran the unlocker app, got the phone working for GSM perfectly

. Now i am going to upgrade to software version 3.05.651.5 . I hope the SIM will be unlocked even after upgrade.

Does this unlocking allow the phone to be used with US GSM carrier likr ATT or T-Mobile. I used the method to sim unlock but is not working with an ATT sim. Thanks

Unlocking is permanent , It does not change even if you upgrade your boot-loader or if you update your program.

I connected successfully to T Mobile by manually searching for network but when i put an ATT SIM card the search network options are disabled. I have tried two ATT sim card thinking there could be some problem in in one.

Anybody know why it would work on T-mobile but not on ATT.

Thanks

Hi
Can you please let me know how you connected to ATT and hwta ROM and baseband you are using. I could connect to T mobile but not ATT. Strange. The network search options are just disabled when i put an ATT sim card.

thanks

I have unlocked, rooted, flash rom with sense, unlocked sim, but no signal. Do i have to revert to 1.29.651 because I have 3.xxxxx. Or is 1.29.651 just to unlock sim. I have the option to switch to GSM but my T-Mobile reception does not work. When I search for Networks nothing comes up, APN is under T-Mobile which shows locked (shaded) and I created one with the standard settings. Can you please help me out.

So, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to get any signal on my Sprint HTC One.. I've unlocked bootloader, rooted, got s-off, and unlocked (at least, I believe I have. It use to say invalid sim and after I got the program to work, it doesn't say that anymore.) I can get signal while on Sprint, but since I bought my phone second-hand, I don't have a contract with them. I bought a Net10 sim kit and a 30-day card, threw in the AT&T micro-sim that came with it, which it recognizes, but still can't make calls while on GSM settings. I've flashed my radio to 1.00.20.0315 to see if that would help, but it hasn't. My software version is 3.04.651.2, Android version 4.3, HTC Sense version 5.0, HTC SDK API level is 5.45. When I go to Mobile Data and go to available GSM networks, both search networks and select automatically are greyed out and can't be selected at all. I don't know what else to do. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or what I should try next?

EDIT: Just called Sprint, apparently my phone is still on an active account. It's not reported stolen or anything, but it has a badESN for probably late payments or contract abandonment. Looks like I just got screwed out of $160 for the phone and $50 for the Net10 plan. =\

Dropping signal after Unlock

I've managed to get my HTC One unlocked, and running off of the aio Wireless/ATT Network. However, once my phone goes to sleep it will disconnect from the network and I have to search and reconnect. Any fix for this?

I just got a used Sprint HTC One today and trying to get it to read my Rogers sim but no dice.
I am rooted, S Off, and bootloader unlocked but the terminal code won't work for me, I just get a "does not exist" error.
Perhaps due to being on 4.3?

I would like to keep the stock HTC to try out but if I put the GPE ROM on it would that just SIM unlock it or?
