DO you know if can I update to lollipop or should I keep the OS version 1.29.651.10?

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Can I update to Sprint lollipop last week version (feb 9th 2015)? or should I stay in version OS 1.29.651.10 to keep the SIM unlocked?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bakunoe:
I don't know my friend. I'm a noon. But in some place I have read that the unlock is permanent, but you shouldn't update by OTA, or you will brick your phone. Sorry for my bad English

Working method

!Working method!

After few hours of reading and trying things out, I figure the working way.

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash recovery

3. Flash 4.3 android version (I Used Android_Revolution_HD-One_31.6)

4. Flash the HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip (http://www.filedropper.com/htcomadmspcs , and you can find it in the forum).

5. Do the regular guide with the "am start ...." command.

6. Now you unlocked your sim and you can flash any rom you want.

Good luck!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
There's a separate thread with some steps you can take to help fix that

If you're in the US, you have to stay where you are. If you're outside the US, the unlock is permanent no matter what you do

How to sim unlock htc one m7 sprint on 4.4.2

How to sim unlock htc one m7 sprint on 4.4.2

hboot 1.56 or 1.57 not matter

First unlock bootloader from htc dev

Then install twrp 2.8 or latest and flash supersu (zip) from twrp

Now install viper 6.2 and then flash HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip through twrp

Now boot in viper 6.2 and install simunlockhelper.apk.

Now set superuser permanently on grant permission.

Now run simunlockhelper app and click on start , u see one popup menu (if it not show this menu then again touch on start) , select sim lock option at the end and click onetime and wait to unselect it automatically.

Now press back and click on reboot under simunlockhelper app (it will never reboot :laugh:)

Now switchoff phone and put gsm sim in it and switch on.

as I am in India so I tested this only with Indian GSM Sim.

I used this method with more than 200 sprint phones. so success rate 100%

DONE

I am based in US, but do have an overseas SIM with me..

So doing the procedures.. when I put overseas SIM it does not give me connection but also no connection...

And when I put TMo SIM it says Invalid SIM...

Not sure if I am unlocked or not..

I do a 6 digit unlock code from Sprint but don't even know where to put it in.. Sigh....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
1. If it says "Invalid SIM" when you put in a T-Mo SIM, then you didn't do it correctly.

2. The Sprint code has absolutely nothing to do with this process
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] magiccoffee:
I see lots of people having issues with gaining S-OFF, and I had some trouble doing it on my phone which was hboot 1.44 (so could not use firewater but that's gone now anyway). Found a combination of the Chameleon 4.2.2 ROM for M7wls plus 1.44 worked first time using revone.

Any questions message me, don't want to clog up here, just don't ask me about Windows 'cause I use Linux.

The real question..I am now at hboot 1.60, S-OFF, 6.16 firmware, unlocked, rooted and running ViperOne 8.0.0 Sense ROM and Elite kernel. I'm going to give this a try but it would be nice to know if anyone's done it on the latest firmware with or without a radio downgrade, or running a similar setup. And if it works I'll of course post here. Any cautionary tales would be nice to hear too. I'm re-reading the whole thread and I don't think I'll have issues. Thanks to everyone for the hard work.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] vanito:
You have only one post here...are sayng one procedure but Not explain nothingh if no in private...WHY?:confused:

Share here from where Hboot you are started, if have started from 1.44 for me there's nothingh of new in this..."Firewater" is down but for more down Hboot like 1.44 no there are big problem, "Rumrunner" will be working for gain S-OFF, so after you are S-OFF can use the Basic procedure for UNLOCK this Sprint M7 and after get to 1.60 with other RUU or ROM...where's the new???...if you start from Hboot 1.56/7 .....that's interesting

BR

Vanito;)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] magiccoffee:
Oh I had a lot more going on than just that, just didn't want to clog up too much....so if you are at 1.44 AND every 4.2.2 or lower ROM you try reboots every 70 seconds AND you have a corrupted baseband, then Chameleon can be your friend. How'd I get there? Long, stupid story :rolleyes:

Otherwise, yeah, nothing new :D

I would really like to unlock my Sprint m7 to use on T-mobile but;

Hboot 1.60

unlocked BL

S-off

rooted

TWRP

Is there anyway to downgrade so I can use some of the methods posted on XDA?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] vanito:
Yes, read here:

Possible and undocumented.

very long i can describe in technical steps if you can follow them.

find your phone main version deodexed rom.

unlock bootloader with htc dev.

write custom recovery install super su zip.

soff with firewater.

reboot in recovery now write your deodexed rom which u downloaded on first step.

use adb to move current /system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk to HtcOMADM_SPCS.bak

use adb to put older "HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk" to "/system/app/" download this

https://www.mediafire.com/?rzyxciqxuzezn4y

make unlock same as this thread. HTC ONE FREE SIM Unlock here !

once card working all ok.

use adb to remove /system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk

use adb to mov original /system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS.bak to HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk

Note: the steps you have already done skip :good:

Or....if want use the solution n°3 in first post of this thread...after you device is UNLOCKED you can flash any New High Rom...always SENSE or DEODEX Sense based....and you not lost more you unlock.

Warning: if you go to Install other RUU/Rom Not Sense based you can lost you Unlock....

Vanito:good:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
The unlock will stick on any Sense ROM. You cannot RUU if you want to stay unlocked for US use, since the release radio is needed.

No downgrade is needed. Only method you need is right here. Read the thread - multiple posts explain exactly what to do
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
I tried the method in the first post and it did not work, I thought it was becauseas because I have Hboot 1.60?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
I'll read this again when i have a few more minutes to make sure I understand what you are saying.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
HBOOT doesn't matter. Neither does software version. Ignore the OP. Read the thread.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
Is there a specific locating for this information? there is over 800 posts, are you suggesting I read all 800+ post?

Something matters because the information in the first pages does not contain the answer you are eluding to.

Do you know the answer?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
Well I'm at a dead end!

I downgraded everything to what is listed in the OP, I installed the 4.1.2 ROM (listed there), which did not allow the revealing of the sim lock menu but I installed Viper 1.0.0 and then was able to see the menu.

But even after selecting the "sim lock" item, then reboot I still don't have an unlocked sim. I still have the "SIMLock enabled".

I have an active T-Mobile sim installed.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
No, I was suggesting that you use the search function. I have posted the full steps a few times in the thread. If the phone isn't working, check the IMEI. Also need to make sure you're on the release radio
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
I've been around since 08, I know how to use the search function!

If it's inside this thread, what specifically are you searching for, if what is posted in the OP is not working?

The IMEI has nothing to do with it, the radio is the recommended one, all the perimeters are posted in the screen shot.

If you have something specific to contribute, please do so! If not please don't!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
From the OP

"Now with the release of 4.3 Sprint made it more difficult. (Note even on the 4.4.2 base nothing has changed, the process is the same) The unlock uses a file called HtcOMADM_SPCS which was modified in 4.3, so the unlock no longer works."

I saw a total of three thanks for that post?:D

Thanks...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
1. Ignore the "4.3" in my post. Doesn't matter what software version you're using

2. If you keep reading in the OP, directly after the "...so the unlock no longer works" piece, there is a red header that says "Solution"

3. Thanks count means nothing. I've unlocked dozens of Sprint M7s. Very easy process and every single one has worked the exact same way.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gabriel51:
I have read and done all of that many times, however it does not work on my device?

I was able to reach the hidden screen and select the "sim lock" but backing out and rebooting from the sim unlock helper screen did not work.

I had to select "reboot" from the same menu located just a couple of items up from the Sim lock selection.

Make sure "Data" is on and GSM is selected.

I was successful only on the "Viper 1.0.0 rom.

I now have a working T-mobile connection...:laugh:

HTC One M7

Hey guys,

This phone just made it to my hands, I see the thread being pretty old so I'm wondering if this would work on:

Android 5.0.2

HTC Sence Version 6.0

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crossvxm:
As long as you downgrade the baseband, I think so. And Lollipop should be deodexed if I remember correctly. If it is not deodexed, hopefully on Lollipop you can cheat like I used to do on Kitkat to stay on stock. Create a nandroid (should be done anyways), manually move ALL odex files somewhere other than their native folder and then pull off the procedure.

Also, AOSP roms make HTCs shine in some ways if you ask me. If you prefer AOSP over stock, try checking to see if any roms built for ALL carrier variants gets a connection to another carrier without this tweak. After Sprint began to allow unlocks in the US, some Sprint phones I owned that were locked would connect to other carriers without any mods as long as the rom was universal for all carrier versions of the phone.

But to be honest, it is a total waste. Service is HORRIBLE on other carriers. Once you lose connection, you'll see what I mean. This is an HTC thing. If it were unlocked and working on an AOSP rom, I assume the connection wouldn't be as bad.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] memotoca:
I missed to mention this is a stock ROM updated by Sprint and to be used outside the US(Mexico), whoever used this phone never messed with it so it should be odexed. I do enjoy AOSP and I sure will try other universal roms for this Sprint HTC One M7... Care to share any good ones?

Also if I decide to stay on the current stock ROM which baseband should I downgrading to? And would I need to downgrade to 4.2?

Thanks un advance.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crossvxm:
Seriously doubt it since usually their budget phones aren't meant to be taken out of the US and thus they aren't given GSM capabilities. But even if it does, it would most likely be patched to work out of the US only. I tried to google the specs on the Sprint one specifically but I only see the GSM ones.
