There is a simple fix for the sign. If you are on 4.3 and above use a file explorer and go to system/costumize/AAC/default.xml and change sku_id 10 to 42

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
I am telling you all the possible options. They are all explained in this first post. First you should check if you have coverage for the frequencies. Depending on the carrier there are plenty of maps, but are not very accurate. Second it's been reported that the new radios prevent manual network search in US. As I have explained if you don't get the SIMLock enabled message the unlock was sucessful, it's certainly a problem of carrier/sim/coverage.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
- i know for a fact ATT has coverage at my house.

- I was on the release radio.

That doesn't really matter amyways because I'm not interested in using it with ATT, but neither of the above explains why the option to search for networks is greyed out when you have an ATT SIM inserted. The option should be available, regardless of what SIM is inserted.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] George95:
Thanks for the advice.

As the instructions say I must have Sense ROM to be able to unlock phone, so that Badboyz ROM is Sense based or something ? Will I be able to unlock the phone with Badboyz ROM ?

P.S

OK, I have tried to flash Badboyz ROM but when I was wiping out phone, with TWRP 2.6 I wiped everything except USB OTG.

Now I have got no OS and no ROM to install, any one knows how to fix this ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
The thread is SIM unlock and not how to hack the phone to work in the US. All the problems you have are because the US GSM frequencies are poorly covered by this phone and sprint had pus some software restrictions to make it even harder to roam in the US. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO USE IT WITH US GSM CARRIERS. I live in Europe and have no clue how things work there, but I have read what other users have said and told you all I know. I am not saying that you don't have AT&T coverage at yout house, but you may not have coverage for the frequencies this phone uses, which in this case should be the 1900 mhz. You may have coverage of 850 mhz which is useless, cause this phone works on 800 mhz.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Probably that's because you didn't put the rom on the sd card in the first place. You should sideload the rom through recovery now. Read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2318497

Just a quick Q: I unlocked the HTC One using your method and when I put in FIDO Canada sim it works and is roaming. My question is will the Sprint HTC One (UMTS 2100/1900) work on BELL Canada's UMTS 850/1900 network? Please help. Thank you very much.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Thank you for removing the part about you not liking the way I talk. I'm not trying to come off as an ass, towards you nor in general. I'm very grateful for you putting this thread together and am not blaming you for any problems that may occur. I do realize that the thread was originally posted as a SIM unlock for other countries and it may not work in the US, etc etc.

I was only replying to the other poster, throwing out theories as to why ATT wouldnt work on the phone. And also, the One does work on 800 MHz, but for CDMA. It supports 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 for GSM.

Help Needed

I success fully rooted my HTC One From Sprint Using your Guide. Thank you

3.Run Terminal Emulator

4. Type "su" (excluding quotation marks) and grant it superuser permission

5. Type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (excluding quotation marks)

6. You will get menu on your HTC

7. In that menu, select "API", then scroll down 'till almost end and select "simlock"

8. Reboot the phone and hopefully it would accept GSM SIM

9. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer

10.In the phone information section(the first one) set preferred network type to something that is GSM specific: "WCDMA Preferred", for example. The phone will switch to GSM mode

When i try to unlock the Sim using the Terminal Emmulator,i am able to go through steps 3 to 5, and then i get an error message

vDM Client has stopped Unexpectedly,.

An error report will be sent to HTC to help us improve our product.

Having a hard time rooting the phone

Good day everyone,

I am really having a hard time figuring out on how to root my HTC one..

I accidentally upgraded it to 4.4.2 and want to downgrade it to 4.1.2 base roms but I can't root my phone

I successfully unlock the bootloader, Installed a TWRP recovery but everytime I try to install a zip from sdcard it just take me to /system/media folder..

It won't take me to my original sdcard folder in where I put the SuperSu zip file..

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you and God bless us all
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
I'm not sure /system/media exists..?? Even if it does, you can navigate to /sdcard by tapping "Up A Level" at the top of the folder list until you get to the root directory (where simply / is displayed at the top. Then scroll down to /sdcard
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] landcruiser101:
Thanks!

after hours of research I finally figured out that the custom recovery I flashed was from the international versions that made my system partition corrupt... thanks I already solved this problem :D :D

my main problem now is everytime I flash the stock recovery provided here. is I always gets an unknown error. or sometimes stuck at sending like forever... :(
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jpwhre:
So flash TWRP once you reboot, open play store and update supeersu and then open it, select to have recovery install binary. Done.

EDIT: you need s-off for this to work easier. A sticky in Sprint HTC one General will help, find the one about failing after pour 8

See you're new, good luck.

I am currently runninng stock rom 4.4.2 with 1.56 hboot

I already did unlock the bootloader, successfully flash a twrp recovery , successfully rooted and S-off successfully with firewater. And now here cones the tricky part. I wsnt to flash back to stock rom to 4.1.2 the one posted here.. already re lock the bootloader run the rru but it is stuck in sending then an unknown error (155) occurs... I dont know why is this happening. I installed the drivers correctly and remove/install the htc sync manager still no luck
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Error 155 is an unlocked bootloader. If you are sure you locked your bootloader you may try downgrading it to 1.55, at least that's what another user said

Thanks for this i already did sim unlock my htc one now. I have a simple question, since my phone is already unlock. Can i restore my 4.4.2 stock rom which i previously back-up before i flash this 4.3. According to the one posted this hack is working for only deodexed roms and i believe that the stock rom is odexed? Will i lose ky sim unlock if i did that?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
No if you already unlocked it's no problem you can install any sense rom you want. You won't loose your unlock no matter what, even if you ruu. P.S even if you flash non-sense roms you won't loose the unlock, but you won't have network cause they are ported roms and some files are missing.

HTC One on 4.1.2

Followed the steps in this guide. Works perfectly in Central America. Calls, Text, Data.

Since it's currently running 4.1.2, I'd like to update it to 4.4.2 but it doesn't allow me to do so.

Currently: Rooted, S-ON, TWRP installed, Hboot 1.44. My question is:

How do I go about updating to 4.4.2 without losing the SIM unlock?? Do I need to install stock recovery, RUU back to 4.1.2 and take the OTA update?

No Service :(

Hey Guys!! first of all thanks for the write up and dedicating your time to do this so we can take unlock are tedious sprint devices:good:

I spent the whole day yesterday reading through the different posts and finally got almost everything done. phone is unlocked. rooted, running Viper's ROM. I have gone through most of the preferred network options that include GSM and no luck.

it asks me for the service provider (T-Mobile) and I'm able to select it. The issue is that it does not get any type of service. I changed the APN to different variations found here. Flashed the radios but no luck. btw, my phone asks me to go into world mode. At that point, it connects to Sprint with my old phone number. (did a ##72786).

Also getting the: "Unfortunately, vDM Client has stopped" error. Anyone went through this specific error and knows how to fix it?:(

Many thanks in advanced!:fingers-crossed:

Hi guys,

I bought a Sprint HTC One (blue) running 4.4.2/Sense 5.5/ and after 3 days of messing with it, I finally managed to sim unlock it. I am on T-Mobile and have call/text/GSM Data (VERY SLOW). After all the messing with I am currently running 4.3/Sense 5.0/HBOOT 1.56/CWM Recovery.

Here are the steps I followed and all the threads I got my info from. Hope it helps some of you.

First of all make sure your HTC One is ROOTED and S-OFF.

After my HTC One was rooted and s-off, I followed these steps from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2491840

Which are:

Then I followed the steps in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2386703

After everything above was done, I inserted my T-Mobile Sim and it was recognized but the services was blocked. I just downgraded to the first radio for the HTC One.

NOTES:

*On Step 10 of the 2nd thread, I actually set mine to "GSM Only" and it is the only one that has stayed connected throughout the day. When I set it to "WCDMA Preferred", it just kept disconnecting constantly. Just set it to "GSM Only".

*After you set it to GSM Only go to Settings>Mobile Data>Search for Networks and choose your preferred provider. After that dial *#*#4636#*#*>Phone Information> and on the top right corner there's a drop down menu with choices, go ahead and hit "Enable Data" (Last one) and reboot. After that you should get GSM data which is very slow.

*If above doesn't work the first time, download Tweakker and follow the steps there and retry the steps above.

Those are the things I did to get my phone working. I hope it works for some of you.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
For all the US users. As I explained in the first post it'd very difficult to make it work for a number of reasons:

1. The frequencies are poorly covered by the phone

2. If it loses network (which should happen pretty often) you'll have to connect manually

3. Sprint modified the new radios in order to prevent domestic roaming.

4. Maybe your phone is blacklisted and other companies refuse to let you use it on their network?

So all you can try is downgrade with the ruu, use the first radio, which is supposed to let you roam. If nothing works no one can help
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
As said a million times DOWNGRADE YOUR RADIO if you want to use it for domestic roaming
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DJiK:
Thanks for pointing that out, guys. That was it! I hadn't realized I didn't flash the oldest radio…

After flashing, I was able to search and find a T-Mobile network on the phone.

It still wouldn't connect (Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network alert), so I called T-Mobile and found out it was reported stolen with Sprint.

Turns out if it's reported stolen on one carrier, other carriers are also notified. As a consumer, that makes me happy.

I got a T-Mobile sim working on the latest 4.4 RUU (Stock, rooted myself). It was a MAJOR pita, but it's done and working.

I was already at 4.4, so I HAD to downgrade to the RUU listed in the OP (Method 3 I believe). The hidden menu wasn't available in 4.4, just like 4.3. I also had to get S-OFF and all that jazz in order to do it. Oh yeah, if you downgrade your hboot then good luck doing any fastboot stuff on Windows 8.1, it won't work. So I had to use a Ubuntu Live CD to sim unlock.

Once I got it to the RUU listed in OP, I installed the Sim Unlocker app from google play to do the dirty work. After I stopped getting the error message in the notifications bar when I had a T-Mobile sim inserted, I flashed the most recent stock RUU 4.4.2.

I then got TWRP on there again and root (not necessary), and flashed the radio linked in OP.

It works! Data doesn't work, for some reason, but voice does. Any tips on getting any data to work?
