[Q] HTC VIVID about to get smashed

I got a HTC Vivid which i can not get to sim network unlock. It was origionally ATT but now im trying to use it on StraightTalk with their bring your own ATT compatiable phone. I am not a noob ive rooted s-off and flashes many many phones but this ones got my stomped. I have done the fallowing below.
1. Called straight talk, they gave me a unlock code but phone shows network unlock unsuccessful.
2. Called ATT which they said the phone was to new and was unable to give me a code.
3. Searched all XDA and tried the VERY few things i could find with no result.
4. Purchased a Unlock code from a site online with good reviews... FAILED... they refunded money was unable to unlock phone.
5. Purchased from a 2nd, 3nd, and 4th site unlock codes. Of the 4 sites they supplied the same 2 codes. 3 out of 4 have refunded the cost. Waiting on 4th, they had a tech looking into it. No responce 6 days now, emailed and got only a automated msg.
6. Setup a Skype Phone number in Paris France and called ATT so it would appear i was overseas. They still wouldnt unlock the phone but was able to open a case and esculate it from customer service to they supervisors. 3 Days and no reply... still wondering.
So here I am does anyone have any suggestions or things I can try? Im beating my head on my desk thinking WTF... i dont have ATT so unless i can get it unlocked im stuck with a phone i cant use.

use the sim unlock guide here in the forums. i think all you do is flash the zip in fastboot. have you tried that?

I tried one that u downloaded a file and flashed, result was a constant reboot had to reflash rom. But ill look tomorrow and post results if its the same one or what happen.

You don't need a sim unlock for straight talk...just get the att compatible sim
You just need to add the straight talk apn

Theres a guide in here that I will vouch for, I used it, and have been with multiple different carriers now since, no problems.

Current Phones-
HTC Raider. Stock, debloated, rooted, s-off, sim unlocked.
Sony Xperia Play- Stock, debloated, rooted, s-off, sim locked.
2 New HTC Incredible S. Stock, sim unlocked.
Past Phones-
HTC Incredible S. Stock,debloated,rooted, s-off, sim unlocked. (Dismantled for parts)
HTC HD7. Sim unlocked. That's all I felt was worth doing honestly. (Sold)
Love me some HTC

I agree. The method to sim unlock on xda was successful for me - it doesn't require flashing a file, per se..rather putting a specific DAT file on the root of SD card and then from boot loader choosing simlock.. it errors out but still unlocks the phone (pretty sure its supposed to error out - part of the hack) ..anyway, it was one of the first things I tried on a raider from xda and I've done it on 3 of them now, all successfully. You should try that.

Did you not buy the att compatible sim??? Like I said...you shouldn't need a sim unlock for straight talk...hundreds if not thousands of people have stated that all you need is the att compatible sim and the correct apns...

[Q] How to sim unlock HTC ONE with S-off

Hello,
So i achieved s-off but everytime i enter my sim card for my other carrier it says please enter unlock code. Can anyone help clarify what i did wrong or if there is something else i need to do. On the bootloader it does say s-off and i do have root access and an unlocked bootloader. Thanks in advance

Am i missing something. Would installing the desired network couriers firmware work. ( Telus firmware to get telus simcard to work on bell phone) Can someone please shed some light on this topic i am confused.

What you've done won't sim unlock the phone.
Subscribe to this thread - the guy is working on a simpler method to sim unlock or someone may be able to recommend a site where you can buy an unlock code.
If you really need it the guy might even help you do it.

[Q] Help with international SIM Unlock (I can pay)

Hello,
I am currently living in Europe and i have a Sprint M8. Unfortunately s-off is not compatible with my phone (u might know about the whelp message).
I dont know even if this is possible, but if any of u guys has a contract with SPRINT, can you request an international SIM Unlock (GSM) for me (i dont need unlock for USA carriers, just for other international carriers)?
I can pay if the fee is acceptable.
Thanx!

first why would you get the Sprint version if you live abroad?
second sprint can unlock it so long as its payed off (not on someones contract) and hasnt been reported lost or stolen. just call sprint
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app

I cant call sprint from where I live. If somebody can do it for me im willing to pay.

I contacted Sprint from their Live Chat, and they told me i have to have an active contract with them in order to unlock. Which i dont have
Can anybody help?

if you want to try something on your responsibility then you can follow the sim unlock method without s-off (remember to make nand backup) & try if you get your device unlocked, if not then you will need to enable gsm band with QPST, with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.
I followed all that sim unlock method but my device still locked & i can't select gsm networks then i enabled it with QPST & all things worked ok.
the difference between us is s-off only.

I already tried it and the .apk files on /system/apps are replaced after i make the reboot. I guess this is why s-off is needed... I think i have to wait for the new s-off. Or till somebody with a Sprint contract will help me (if it is even possible since im in europe right now)

Try the following on you responsibility
- You should know your SPC, you can read it with CDMA Workshop or CDMA DFS Tool.
- Install QSPT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391)
- enable diag mode ##3424#
- open QPST configuration, from port tab add your device diagnostics port.
- from start clients tab choose service programming then ok & click on read from phone.
- on system tab choose automatic for roam preferences.
- on UMTS System tab choose any for pref service domain & any band (last bottom right) for proffered band.
- click write to phone, then your device should work on GSM mode with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.

I'm with rooted, S-Off , bootloader unlocked HTC One M8 Sprint variant... I've even tried sim unlock... But it's still not accepting GSM sim cards... I think we need to have specific Prl update or UICC unlock for it to work

You need to buy a sim-unlock code. Insert the foreing sim card, boot the phone and enter the unlock code. You need to be on the stock rom (or stokish custom rom) to be able to use the sim-unlock code.

There are many only services offering this. doctorsim.com for example. You might also be able to get one from that carrier your phone is locked to.

Do you have all the necessary files for this? (ADB, fastboot, TWRP img file, and SuperSU zip)

626(s) is totally different from 626... ive tried it and does not work. i had to buy a XTC2CLIP to get it back to the way it was and have a unlocked bootloader as well... still in search of the 626 root tho

I have the ATT 626 and it worked flawlessly for me. Download the TWRP IMG file then flash it through ADB commands. Then download SuperSU flashable zip and flash in TWRP. Not responsible for any damage though, just trying 2 help!

Well recovery don't work and it's basically destroyed my phone tried flashing the ruu but nothing is working if the phone dies I have strip it to take battery out to start it again so yeah I'll wait for propa root process thanks anyway guys
Sent from my HTC Desire 626

The process for root for HTC phones are unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash SuperSU zip. To use RUU the bootloader needs to be locked. To root, bootloader must be unlocked through HTC dev portal. This is the "proper" way to root.

Well as you can see my boot loader is unlocked and I'm still stuck.. I can't wipe my phone I can't do anything can anybody give me some answers
Sent from my HTC Desire 626 using XDA

You must relock the bootloader first. Then you can use the RUU for your device.
Code:
fastboot oem lock

kingroot
ok my friend so heres what i did i first had to unlock the phone was google locked bought it from somebody else for 20 bucks i thought what a steal well maybe it was don't know but only to find it was google locked after 4 days of various work arounds i figured one out myself based on youtube workarounds and one i figured out got it unlocked didn't want to mess with a lot of bs so tried kingroot to no sucess until i unlocked bootloader through htc tried kingroot and voila another day and time i will twrp bootloader and super su it but for now just want to enjoy my new toy.
Hope this will help you and others out!
