[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shanusmarty:
This works.

Only need to extract, modify and zip again.

Flash with TWRP.

And everything is working normally, no need to reinstall or root, or whatever.

The only problem is that every time I turn on the phone, I get the error message VDM, but it disappears instantly, without stopping or forcing any application.

I live outside the U.S.

is there any solution to get rid of the xDM error @ startup without loosing the gsm sim unlock :P

^^^ try another usb cable, and uninstall the drivers and reboot and then fresh install the drivers, then trying rooting again.. n flash the latest package for SU, and then try rumrunner! For achieving s-off..

SIM unlock is done, then manually select att network.. but when u ll loose, it won't register automatically again..u have to register on network manually.. as your phone is for Sprint not att, so there are limitations,,i suppose..

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ryoung4316:
Keep in mind the sim unlock will not work with domestic SIM'S

SM-capable devices sold by Sprint may be SIM locked for use only with Sprint SIMs on GSM networks. While traveling internationally if you intend to use another provider’s GSM service, the device will need to have the SIM slot unlocked to accept another carrier’s SIM. Please note that unlocking the device does not allow for use with domestic (U.S.) SIMs.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] profixit:
So you couldn't even use a U.S. Vodafone SIM.

SIM slot unlock and SIM unlock are two different things??

What about phones not sold by Sprint.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ryoung4316:
The Sprint HTC one has blocked the carrier id's for domestic use aka att etc.. You can however if your s-off you can flash the initial release radio the first radio when the Sprint HTC was released and it will allow you to connect to domestic carriers. Here is the first radio released http://d-h.st/HHD I can pick up T-Mobile and att using the initial release radio.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] shanusmarty:
Has any one unlocked Sprint HTC One MAX ?

It's the same hardware besides bigger screen and fingerprint reader as the one so you could follow the one guide to unlock

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hotaru2k3:
US carriers are blocked by the radio software. if you flash the first radio from when the phone was launched, it will work with US GSM carriers.

i kinda believe in the domestic carrier blocking u just mentioned above
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
I'm from Guam and I'm thinking about doing this but I'm wondering if I fall into this category? I want to change local carriers but I'm unsure if I'll encounter failed connections like everyone has been experiencing. I think there are two local carriers that sell the HTC One, my carrier and docomo Pacific which I believe uses the att variant, if I could stay with my carrier *IT&E* I would, but the data is too slow to even watch youtube.

So my main question is this, will I be experiencing intermittent data loss and will this even work outside of the U.S?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ryoung4316:
No if your out of the country you should have no problem, Its only blocked carrier ID's in the US.

Hello to you all

I would like to show all of you 4.3 users the solution "elvisypi" gave me in my private mail and finally i succeed to unlock my device.

So all of us know that sprint or google changed the way HtcOMADM works and we can't use the original system for unlocking our device.

So here is the solution that "elvisypi" gave me :

1. Download the "Stock with goodies 4.3 ROM". Don't flash it wet. (link : http://www.mediafire.com/?9y21d2wlszh6d6c )

2, With an archive viewer like winzip open the ROM.zip and go to /system/app

3. replace 2 apps which I have attached: HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk and HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk. Just drag and drop and replace.

4. Finally flash the ROM.

5. Install the HTCOneSIMUnlockHelper and follow the onscreen instructions.

So i've done all this and when I get to 5 and press "Start"...the phone just freezes up.

I just checked...root is gone...how could THAT have happened?

I'm trying to get it to work the the NET10 Bring Your Own Phone plan...if anyone has successfully done it id love to hear about it.

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

Thanks! this is the only way my htc one has been sim unlock!! thank you very much!

I had Android 4.4 on my phone, that is why was to difficult to unlock it. But with the flash you mention above, It downgrade to 4.3 and the sim unlock apk made the rest.

Now everything is working:

-I have unlock the bootloader

-It is rooted

-It works with any gsm company and the data works too.

I just have a question; Now the phone shows that there is a software update; I am using this custom room "Stock with goodies 4.3 ROM".

What happen if I update the software? I have fear to lose everything I been made and start again.

Sorry , I haven't tried it yet. I'm going on vacation in a few days, I'll try it when I get back.

I have a few questions to ask:

After doing the steps then restoring a backup, should I flash the older radio? How would this affect call quality compared to using the new radio? Since the older radios don't have domestic gsm will this work in my situation, for being outside the u.s.

What my plan is when I get to trying it out is this.

Do the method in post 1

Try my girlfriend's SIM card to see if it works

If it works test out new and old radios.

I have all updated nandroids base on sense 6, would being on these affect anything?

I also have a nandroid ruu on the .4 firmware using the modified .9.

I'm reading it doesn't matter which Rom you have after successfully SIM unlocked, so I am hoping I can nandroid and have no I'll effects.

Thanks for the great read.

Im currently on stock 4.4.2. For some reasons, Im not able to RUU it back to 4.3 or 4.1 in Windows 8.1. Will I be able to downgrade straight from 4.4.2 to this rom by flashing via TWRP?

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

This happended when I tried to flash the boot.img via fastboot

Still stuck at HTC one logo. I went with flashing with a 4.3 rom instead of RUUing because RUUing wasnt working. It gets stuck at "sending..." status and the phone in HTC logo with black background. Someone please help me out.

EDIT: The device is s-off with bootloader relocked and HBOOT 1.56.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Update:

Well I flashed the Rom which I modified using a .zip app, to replace the .apk.

I ran the unlock helper from the market and it says successful.

Once restarted I got the vdm client error.

Is that all to it??

I haven't tried a SIM card yet so I don't know if it indeed worked, but the app says successful..

To people wondering about downgrading, the op posted Rom does it already. So don't have to worry about that part, just a matter of inserting the OMAD files.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] evilboygenius:
You need to revert to original OMADM files after the unlock to get rid of the vdm crash issue.

BTW any help for my issue?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Alright I'll try to help with that, this happened to me, also I did the modification to the app with out a pc and was stuck at the HTC screen as well. What I did was there is a zip file you can flash called superwipe, after the first time getting the stuck screen I used that file to clear what ever needs to be cleared. I reflashed the modified Rom again but before rebooting I wiped cache and davlik and let it boot, till the button light went on, this indicated the Rom was doing its thing. Once it booted successfully I installed viperboys app , it didn't work at first, luckily I still had the files on my storage, and I don't know why this made the app work. But I went into es file explorer and "reinserted" the OMAD files into the the proper place, ran the app again and it brought the menu up, yes it froze as stated from before, but it did get me to the menu options to choose "simlock".

Now I have a question, with all that being said, I haven't tried a SIM card, a proper simcard, besides my sister's boyfriends IPhone 4 SIM card which at the time was the only one that could fit, I tried it but didn't get a signal when I changed to wcdma preferred or what that needs to be changed to. However I didn't try the older radio yet, do I have to use the older radio for it to work? The app says it was successful and this is a permanant modification to the device, I am reading that it DOES stick using different Rom. And I also read read once successful when the device reboots you'll get the vdm client error, which if you just reflash the unmodified Rom it won't happen anymore.

I hope my post made some sense, if this works that's great, again I haven't tried a proper SIM card yet. I also don't think I haven't dabbled enough in the *#*#4636#*#* menu to confirm, and the SIM I tried was for an iPhone and I don't know if it's just not the one to test with.

So any insight on that would be helpful, to me and others.

Edit:

There is an easier method that I just tried that got me into the required menu in the viper app.

1. Flash stock with goodies

2. Finish boot process install app to phone.

3. Download flashable OMAD zip.

4. Go into twrp locate the zip file and flash.

5. Run vipers app.

5.a. follow directions for the app.

6. Success!!

What I am stuck on however, is I have no SIM to test.:(.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
No it can't, that's just the way the phone is programmed.. also changing your radio *may* brick your device if it's not made for the Sprint HTC One (m7wls)

update and some questions

Alright I have some questions hopefully that can be answered.

My local carrier finally drop 4g LTE but it's only through gsm types of m7s and m8s. I've asked around and they said is on the 1900hz "2" frequency, I see that the phone has native support for it. What's does that entell for me trying to get faster data speeds?

My carrier says their Sprint cdm devices won't work with this network update cause it runs on gsm and not on cdmA, which means all my fellow cdma brethren are a no go to upgrade data speeds.

What I am hoping is with this SIM unlock I will be able to utilize this newfound data speeds, so will this help me getting data speeds from my local carrier.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
Hmm, is IT&E Guam CDMA or GSM? 4G LTE needs a SIM card to work (which is why there's a SIM slot on the CDMA One), so if you have that in, you should be good. Other than that, if the frequencies work, it should work fine, although I've heard the One is terrible at catching 4G signals..

But, of course, I wouldn't know since India is so behind on technology...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] v1ral:
Well I'm hoping I won't have issues. They JUST rolled it out this week, and people aren't too happy about it, they can't use their cdmA devices on the new network.

That's a good question. I want to be able to use those newer updates too. You can however right now install 4.3 without updating your build and still be on MDK so maybe it is possible. I'm using LiquidSmooth ROM and its on 4.3. I recommend it if you're looking for a 4.3 ROM.
