Hi Guys,
I have a HTC10. I have it s-off and bootloader unlocked. I thought SIM unlock would be easy. However, I tried update the CID an MID and not effect.
Can you please let me know how I can SIM unlock it?
Thanks,
Steven

I was just recently messing around with my CID and MID. Can you get to "setting", "security". About 3/4 way down is "SIM Lock" settings. If it's locked it probably has a PIN or password. You should be able to toggle it off and on.

Actually, I don't have such setting. The phone was from T-mobile. I usually just use the app to unlock. This time, it did not work. I guess the original owner may still own money to tmobile.
Right now, I already have a custom ROM and can't go back to the original ROM even I made a backup with TWRP.
As my phone is s-off, I though I had the full control of my phone and it won't be hard
Anyway, please let me know if there is a way to unlock a s-off HTC 10.

Yea you might be right about the previous owner owing in it. Or if they don't, maybe it hasn't been unlocked from T-Mobile. When I paid off my M8 I had to call T-Mobile and can get an unlocked code from them after they confirmed it was paid in full and that I had an active account for at least 6 months.

Hi Guys,
Just want to let you know that. I bought the unlock code and it worked. just $2.5.
The only think I don't understand is (sorry, not android developer ), that why we can't unlock sim for a s-off htc 10. My undersanding is that once the phone is s-off, we have the full control of all partitions of the phone. I would image that it's just a matter of overriding the data on the phone. (maybe I oversimplified the process).
Thanks

are you sure, that it is a device problem and not a sim once? dit you bought the phone with sim? If you are able to flash your phone to (I call it universal) branding free ROM of your region, every free sim should work

Yes, I am sure. Every ROM works, but not all with all carrier. I had the same thought as yours and turned out that it did not work.
I installed several different ROM and tried the original stock ROM. It only recognize the tmboile.
The funny thing is that, I tried Lineage 15.1 and unlock the sim with the code. It worked. However, when I tried 14.1, it does not recognize my SIM again. 15.1 is not good for my phone. The "home" button did not work

You're right in assuming what S-Off does. But I believe the SIM card is controlled by the carrier. So when they "lock" a SIM card it is done on the carrier's level where they use the IMEI number of the device to toggle an activation lock so that that IMEI number can't get activated on any network. When they give you the unlock code, they essentially release the IMEI number of that device from any activation restrictions. Being S-Off will give you the ability to "unlock" the SIM so that you can use other carrier's SIM cards, ie, AT&T device on T-MOBILE's network, etc.
I may be corrected if any of the above is incorrect. But I'm pretty sure this is correct for the most part.

However, I disagree some part of the above. The SIM unlock is NOT done at the carrier's level. As far as I understand. The SIM lock is a restriction on the somewhere on the phone. I have gone through many other posts in the forum. For example, for M9, you can just overwrite some bytes on the phone to archive that. Unfortunately, no such thing for HTC 10.
The unlock activity is only on the phone to allow it to use other SIM. There is no communication to the carrier.

When you start your phone, at the Google logo, you'll see the unlock state.
If there's an unlocked lock icon at the bottom of the screen, it's unlocked. Otherwise, it isn't.
You didn't specify SIM or bootloader unlocked..
If bootloader, it wont matter if it is or not, since it's super easy to unlock.
I have a rooted tmobile htc 10. If i change the cid and flash the ruu of the unlocked version it should make it as a completely stock unlocked htc 10 right? Meaning will i be able to use any carriers sim card even if i still have the installment plan on the phone? thanks

My phone is still sim locked to tmobile, just S-off.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with s-off, unlocked bootloaders or even root. If you want to sim unlock the device you need a code via your carrier.
There is no sim unlock hack available at this time
Would you mind explaining how you changed your cid and what to change it to? With no dedicated T-Mo forum, I'm getting so confused wading through the threads, and I don't know if I just follow the guide posted for the European model. :\

i did a super cid. its pretty easy if you already have the adb files from rooting. go to download mode and Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid" on the computer. Make a note of your original CID. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111". Make sure its eight 1s. Then enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

If i understand your issue correctly then go to bootloader and check what it says on top. If it says LOCKED then when you ran sunshine it did the s-off but it relocked the bootloader. So you have to manually unlock the bootloader again the same way you did it the first time. I had that same issue.
Its a sim.unlock issue . Though the T-Mobile app said it was unlocked the aim lock remained for some reason I will look further . I get signal fine on a T-Mobile sim testing it

I've read here that the bootloader is locked on T-Mobile's OP7T, are we screwed when it comes to rooting? Doing a search for HD1907, I hardly see anything related to rooting it successfully. Has anyone done it yet? Is there hope for us HD1907s?

You can request a sim unlock from mobbdeep and you'd be able to unlock your bootloader once you sim unlock your phone. Then you can proceed to convert to international if you please.
Edit: it's a week wait period just like previous tmo OnePlus devices we should know this.

Bootloader unlock is in the developer options section of settings. you have to get the unlock token and submit it to OnePlus for your unlock bin. Once the unlock bin is flashed you're bootloader unlocked.

Know of any disadvantages to switching to the US Global version of the OS? Seems like those are being updated faster than the T-Mobile versions.
I'm planning on writing up some documentation about the conversion process once I get my unlock code (should be here tomorrow which means it might take me a few days to mess with it and get it all nice and neat)

You don't. It takes exactly 7 days from when you submitted it. You can check back on the site you submitted the request on and you'll see when it's done, and you can then download it from there. Pestering OnePlus or T-Mobile does nothing, you won't get it any faster.

I've been told that this variant is "hard-locked" and it's impossible for it to be rooted without unlocking the bootloader. I was also told this with my sm-g900v and it finally got unlocked. So I was wondering if any developers have this phone and know how to switch "CSC" codes similar to how the "SM-G900V" was officially unlocked by switching it to a developer phone.
Can someone tell me if the magisk root method works on the A505U1 stock firmware? I don't want to risk bricking.
I have the same a50 Sm-A505u1, I dont know if they have oem unlock implemented into the developer options yet, hopefully within a few more updates they will add the option to unlock the bootloader.

Switching the CSC won't add the toggle because the model number is encrypted into the phone's processor.
Yeah you would probably have to do individual work on each locked variant depending on firmware. Even then it's a longshot to get any exploits to actually work, seeing how this phone doesn't have a removable battery I can only imagine the hard bricking risk. On my S5 I always backed up all my partitions on an SD card but I had root on that phone to do that.

Yes, it gets rid of the carrier lock and it changes to the International version. Though there is another way you can unlock it and that doesn't require flashing the phone.

I would not trust this muhammad guy as he is using "sim unlock" language interchangably with device lock. If it is a verizon locked device with OEM unlock greyed out, it is my understanding there is no way to ever fix that. Verizon is the one that implemented that lock, they will not help you unlock it, even if you tell them you are a developer. They tell you to get a google pixel phone directly from google for developer purposes.
having your phone "sim-unlocked" is very different from the device being unlocked.
v12xke said:
If you have already 100% WIPED your phone, skipped through setup and gone straight to dev settings with an active Wi-FI signal and get a greyed out OEM unlock , you will likely never succeed because you inadvertently purchased a bootloader locked phone. SIM unlocked definitely does not equal BL unlockable.
