Does it have to be S-OFF to work? Im at the step where you click on read. Its looking for the phone "Searching phone in DM mode" which I assume the handset must be in Download Mode but it says "Failed.. Phone does not answer"
I'm not sure...I was s-off
no, u don't want to be in download mode, but you do need to Dial ##3424# then choose DM ON
which read step are u on? there's a couple...1c & 2e
I wonder if a Sprint HTC Bolt can be unlocked for Boost? Appears same hardware.
Should be able to once the sim is unlocked
Should work, the rom has boost files in it

Thank you for your replay , to do this unlock operation need to root my device ? , can you tell me best and easy way to root my htc bolt , can i root it by one click root ?
If i need the root only to make the unlock operation can use the one click root or must used SuperSU ?
I'm not familiar w. one click root, only supersu or magisk
Thank you for you help , is this unlock is permanent even when reset the phone ?
HTC Bolt SIM-Unlock
I followed the steps from the instructions and was able to SIM-Unlock the phone.
Also, performed UICC unlock in Software Updates after I paid off the phone.
I tested it with a friend's T-Mobile SIM and worked flawlessly.
Also tested with another friend's AT&T SIM and again worked flawlessly.
I have since switched to Verizon and found out that it will not work on Verizon, so I decided to sell it.
Sold it on eBay and now the guy who purchased it says he is getting the following error :
"GSM/UMTS Mode not supported in the U.S. Only foreign SIM card usable in device. Your device will switch to CDMA mode now."
When I google this error, everything I find is for older HTC devices, and these posts are back from 2011.
Has anyone come across this, or do you think this guy is trying to pull a fast one on me?
Again, I know for a fact it is unlocked and will work on AT&T but he says it is still SIM-Locked, and says the MSL code I gave him is incorrect.
Pretty sure a phone cannot re-lock itself.. am I wrong?
