Do any of you guys know a way or a website for SIM unlocking the HTC One (on Three) ?
I don't mind paying for it.

---------------------------------
Thanks for all the comments, I used this website and worked like a charm
https://www.mobileunlocks.com
it cost £16.99 for 3 and took 6 minutes to get my code.

you can unlock after 30 days .... have u got the htc one yet as most initial stocks on new handsets with 3 come unlocked (unless they have changed the way they work) its normally stock after the initial month that is locked / branded to 3

bugger oh well .. mind you ive been with 3 since they started and they have got better at not putting a load of rubbish on the phone
unfortunately you need to wait a month and then they will unlock it for you for £15
I cant see anyone having the codes required on ebay or internet .. will need to wait for 3 to unlock it for u
glad u like it - ive been watching reviews it looks awesome, I just hope the battery life is as good as people are saying
what 3 blurb have they put on bar the 3 lock screen (im presuming) and my 3
enjoy dude
Is it on 3-branded firmware, x.xx.771.x, or is it just SIM-locked and running x.xx.401.x?

well to be honest its been ten minutes now and I haven't found even a single thing (even on the box) by Three, the phone is completely 100% bloatware free. its like buying a SIM free one.
and man this thing is smooth, its like rubbing your hands against kim kardashians butt cheeks.
Great phone HTC, I salute you

It looks like they have had their mits on it .,, from another update on this discussion
3 branded firmware, x.xx.771.x, instead of running x.xx.401.x unbranded ?
but looks like they haven't filled it with junk which is good ..... when it boots up does it have 3;s screen or the htc one ?
I only decided today to sack off my note 2 and get this beast .. it cost me £195 to cancel my contract with 3 and get another contract but better than buying a unlocked handset , I got cashback off three, the one plan for £36 and also a free handset so happy and for that im happy to have threes firmware as they are now quick in relasing updates (the 3 branded handset got updated on note 2 to 4.1.2 two months before my unlocked handset !) ..
just ordered a cover and screen protectors off amazon if you haven't decided these look good buddy
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-One-Dou...2F5M/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1363369551&sr=8-4
£15.89 to keep the baby safe .. plus some screen protectors problem is they will be here tomorrow and ill have to wait till Monday to put them on my new phone .. im so glad I took the plunge you sound like you love it already and it can only get better
looks like htc have done a decent job . I think the silver which ive ordered is sexier which did u get ?

That is good news for the firmware update, but I guess since we're already on XDA, firmware updates won't be a problem, mine will end up running a custom one in a week.
Yes I just rebooted it for the first time, and there is an animated three logo poping up for about a sec (this beast knows how to boot, only 7 seconds in total)
I got the Silver one, its much nicer to look at than the Black one I saw in Three Store, and I got the same case from expansys, but I might buy a transparent one, its way too sexy to hide it.
right, unlocking then.
three charge 15.32 to unlock the phone, that has been the standard charge since i last paid them the same to unlock my blackberry 2 years ago.

May I add something about those BoomSound Speakers
THEY AAAARRREEEE CRRRRAAAZZZZYYYYY your ears won't believe your eyes a sound like that could come out from a phone.
I've started to sound like an HTC rep LOL .
But seriously this phone is way better than the Xperia Z that I had for a week

stop you are making me very very very jealous I want a time machine to get to Monday
So what you are saying the phone is AWSOME
Jes what a good choice I think we have all made , think HTC have done us proud with this one
Im waiting for the first threat about 4.2 !
I am not sure about the bootlocker on the htc one .. can we swap the firmware on it ?
I don't normally mess and if the 3 software is very minor I can live with that
I am strongly considering this phone based on its dev community and cheap price. I just have a few things that I need cleared up.
Does this phone need its bootloader to be unlocked to install roms with custom kernals and if so is there a possibility that I won't be able to unlock the bootloader, i.e, carrier lock.
I have noticed that there are 3 different models of this phone, as far as I can gather one model has NFC and the "L" is for a Latin model. Are roms (example CM11) compatible with all 3 models?
Thank you so much for your help!

Well, I really recommend you this phone if you like it. The bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked cause by default samsung kernels are unlocked, I think & yes, maclaw's rom works on all models.

Thank you, I can see that one shop in my town sells the original model while another sells the NFC for 20 euro more. So I will try get the cheaper one but that shop never stocks phones over the 100 euro price mark so im guessing the NFC model will be mine

these both are very relative and i don't agree to them myself.

S III mini is a cheap smartphone, easy to install a custom ROM, can be used by one hand (no gigantic screen size): overall it's a good p/f phone. one major drawback is its battery capacity.

I really agree on this, well the battery isn't really a problem I think, unless you use your phone the whole day...
Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!
yes yes we know all about the fakes for months. they are pretty good and not going to blow up on you.
also they are a good deal at $160 incl shipping from china.

you dont get random vibrations from it. the clone is a normal HDC manufactured 3G stock android phone with a note 4 "skin". You can root it. i've bought both a clone (910Fake off dhgate) and real (910U off ebay). they are both good.
Your clone is defective if it gives you random vibrations. Get it exchanged or replace it.

Unfortunately, some people aren't good at this and buy from Craiglist or somewhere with a no return policy so this helps them out to figure from the fakes. BTW, like I stated it's my co-worker not mines. I told him already it's fake.

I see this phone last week, and was impressed by this MONSTER
first thing I do is taking my credit card and search on net for a good seller, i know this phone is on sale only at 12may
but my biggest surprise was his LTE capabilities.... really ?? a monster spec flagship phone... with only FDD LTE: 1800/2100/2600MHz ???
only 3 categories ?... i want this phone .... but without 800mhz (cat20) it will be a fail in many europe countries ...
and one strange thing too: this phone is announced nothere on the official website... why ?
Most xaomi phones are only meant for China, from what I've heard, and so only support Chinese bands, and nothing else.
It's quite a shame, since I'd happily buy this over the zenfone 2 if it came to the US.

1) Where did you get the idea that Asus won't release the bootloader?
2) The phone has barely been out. Give it some time for ROMs, they don't pop up overnight.
3) The P7k is also somewhat tempting, that's true [emoji14]
Got two of these bad boys coming one for me and one for a friend of mine. I should have them by the end of this month as I got them on a pre-order.

1. Yes, all menus are in English when the system language is English.
2. Ordered from aliexpress for 640 USD
3. Not sure if you mean with the shipment or if you break the device.
4. Battery life could be better honestly. I can get through the day, however I'm only getting about 4 hours SOT if I'm lucky. I was able to reach that point with my Nexus 5.

Thanks for the reply
for point number 3 I meant if there are any warranty issues with the device.
for point number 4 I was looking on GSM arena and they showed the mi note as around 49 hours battery life which doesn't seem that good overall considering the mi note pro has a higher res screen.

Ah ok. Well as far as warranty goes, that would likely have to go through the 3rd party seller. So if they don't offer any type of warranty, you might be out of luck there. But yes the high res screen definitely has an impact on batter life. But it all depends on how you use your device I suppose. I can make it through the day and that is the important part for me

I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 off of Swappa, but when I received it, it had the damned ddi: mmc read error problem that I have read up on and found is a hardware issue. My question is if anyone know a place to buy this phone that is new or at least refurbished by Samsung. Preferably the T-Mobile Carrier version because I want to keep an unlocked bootloader. Especially looking for people who ran into the same issue and were able to find a seller with a phone that didn't have aforementioned problems. I am just really unsure about places as I really want to have the Note 4, best Samsung device IMO, and hoping someone can help.
If Gazelle sells them, I would trust them. I'm just about to send my Note 4 back to tmobile for trade in. Not sure exactly what happens to those phones. My 4 is on excellent condition so they shouldn't have to do too much.. excepting I of course tripped Knox. Not sure what they do about that.

I know for a fact that tmobile sells refurbished note 4's for 400 bones
Should be a ton of them out there somewhere, along with spare parts, considering n5 was never released in Europe.

Hi I purchased last week from swappa. So far no problems and it includes a 30 day money back guarantee... Check out the seller MyteCell LLC. If they have any problem they will let you know. Response is very quick. Hope this helps

There are at least two T-Mobile stores in the Atlanta area selling what they say are NEW Note 4s, one had them on display, the other said they had them in the back, but they weren't on display. Call a few in your area and ask.
I would only by one recertification with a warranty!

I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 off of Swappa, but when I received it, it had the damned ddi: mmc read error problem that I have read up on and found is a hardware issue. My question is if anyone know a place to buy this phone that is new or at least refurbished by Samsung. Preferably the T-Mobile Carrier version because I want to keep an unlocked bootloader. Especially looking for people who ran into the same issue and were able to find a seller with a phone that didn't have aforementioned problems. I am just really unsure about places as I really want to have the Note 4, best Samsung device IMO, and hoping someone can help.

I just bought a T-Mobile version (they're Unlocked) with 32GB Internal Storage for about $300 Refurbed and it arrived like brand new. I got it on Amazon. I can provide you with a link if you'd like.

If you don't mind sending me a link, I'd like to check that out. By the way, was it packaged in original box or aftermarket? If not, it doesn't bother me, just curious.

I said that I sent you a PM (Private Message) with it (the link).
They usually don't like links to things like that right in the forum, so I PM'ed it. Go take a look at it.

Oh, wait, my bad, different person. Okay, I'm PMing it now.
Sorry!
I'm buying a note 4 today and its for sprint but its unlocked. I'm on Tmobile .
When I root and ROM it does the ROM need to be sprint ROMs or can it be Tmobile ROMs ? Or can I flash any ROM since its unlocked?
