One of us is confused...

'Sim' unlock allows you to put in a sim from a carrier that is not the phones original carrier and it work. This does not unlock any additional radio bands but uses the existing bands already available on the phone. In the case of Sprint Max it has some cdma bands and some gsm bands in the hardware.

So if you sim unlock the Sprint Max it should allow someone with an international cdma carrier (or gsm carrier) sim to use it.

Please tell us if you understand differently.
[HTC One Max] nikme:
Mate u need to be a CDMA programmer to understand that

Do u understand nv mode and ruim mode? Sprint one max is programmed to work on nv mode so to flash to other carriers you need spc code to enable diag mode and do nv programming.

But for gsm u pop in ur sim after this method and start using your gsm sim.

People who understand and have liked my post and made use of it

For u to understand first get into details of CDMA programming.
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
So Im still not sure we are talking the same thing. This thread is about sim unlocking the Sprint Max so it can be used globally. The fact you say you are sim unlocking it for use on gsm is not technically relevant. It is likely already globally unlocked for use. This method is just to get around asking Sprint to globally sim unlock it. It likely can already technically be used on a lot of international cdma carriers.

[HTC One Max] dsk00185:
Just followed these steps on a sprint HTC One M8 I get the menu an I can select sim unlock. But after a restart every sim I place into the device will say no sim card inserted. Only the original sprint sim card will work. I tried both AT&T and T-Mobile sims

Finally after restarting a few times it gave me a new message:

Invalid Sim Card

4G services are unavaiable as the SIM/UICC is Invalid

[HTC One Max] smokin901:
Correction to install instruction

Correction

When renaming the original HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk do not use extension .apk instead use .bak or something that android will not try to install.

Reason.

Android recognizes application with class name so when you change the original HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk to HTCOMADM_SPCS2.apk in /system/app or /system/priv-app/ we are only changing the file name, the original unmodified app is still available.

when you copy modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk. installation will fail due to duplicate class name. hence when you run the unlock it is running original app

and not modified.

Here is what we should do

rename HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk to HTCOMADM_SPCS.bak

rename HTCOMADM_SPCS2.odex to HTCOMADM_SPCS.odexbak (Only applicable to stock roms 99.99% of custom rom will not have this)

copy modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk to /system/app or /system/priv-app/ depending on where you found original file

change permission of HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk to rw-r-r

boot to recovery wipe dalvik-cache, cache

reboot then try and unlock

I have never unlocked a phone before.. I have no idea what s off and on is.. I managed to figure out how to do the boot loader thing (took me a day and a half). But, I have downloaded root file explorer but can't find the HTC one SIM unlock helper in the play store at all. I love my Sprint HTC one max , but absolutely hate Sprint... I even paid money to get an unlock code however they said just put the SIM card in and it will ask for the unlock code, but no it didn't at all and they are saying it's my fault and won't refund my money mfning jerks . I just really want my phone unlocked so I can take it to any carrier... Although , I am currently going through Verizon and as I was reading I heard that Verizon is considered dems as well do you guys think that with the unlock code I purchased I would be able to use my one max on the Verizon network?

Well the device is screwed. Boot s1 partition has been damaged. As the phone will not boot now restoring original ta is not possible. Using JTAG might restore it but its usually expensive and is not successful

every time (depends on skill of person preforming. )

Ask your friend to pay up. As far as my knowledge goes, apart from JTAG restore is impossible.

Sorry for your loss.

And for the rest of you, don't give advice if your not fully aware of the problem
