[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltawye:
Isn't this the same thing as a factory reset going through the android back up and reset menu?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltawye:
I must say thank you Asus for following these threads and giving support.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltawye:
OK I've done the hardware reset about 10 times now and still the phone does the same thing ;-(
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asus_USA:
Apologize for the delayed response. Have you tried using ZenMotion to see if it will wake from sleep? - Double tapping screen to wake up device & lock screen. By double tapping the screen, you can

1. Wake up the phone: When the phone is in sleep mode, tap the screen twice to wake up the phone.

2. Lock screen: When the phone is on the page of desktop, tap the screen twice to lock the screen.

Please see our FAQ for how to enable this option: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1011264/

Sincerely,

ASUS_USA

M9 Sprint

Do you think it will work with my sprint M9?:confused:
[One (M9) General] grim489:
Here is my mmcblk0p52, I am sim locked to T-Mobile. Haven't got around to trying the international software/firmware with your other unlock thread but managed to get this. :good:
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Not at the moment. I have a sprint M9 and have not managed to get it working with this method :(
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
OMFG. THE FILE IS IDENTICAL TO MY SIM LOCKED PARTITION. FEEL FREE TO USE HxD TO 'FILE COMPARE' THE HEX VALUES YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE KEEN THEN PLEASE FLASH MY UNLOCKED PARTITION. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE DD COMMAND! :D

Obviously reverse the DD command :)

Do it in recovery or normal and then reboot.

Can you please dump the partition after too. Here is HxD (I love this software)

Drag both files (locked partitions) into HxD and press Ctrl + K or go to File > Analysis > File-Compare > Compare....

It will prop up 'both files are identical' :D

Thank you [MENTION=3438131]grim489[/MENTION], credits to you
[One (M9) General] grim489:
Gotta find somebody's sim to steal and test but it's no problem I'm just doing the simple stuff haha. Let me get back to you in a little bit stifilz, gonna try it out.
[One (M9) General] elmy2424:
are you inside US , i think sprint is unlocking their phones for free, just have to call them,
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Awaiting anxiously :D

In the mean time can someone that is Sim Unlocked please dump their mmcblk0p52 :)
[One (M9) General] bigp951:
Here is mine. AT&T SIM locked. I just added .txt to the end.
[One (M9) General] bigp951:
would the dev edition dump work? I have one of those as well...
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Yup. That would help check the 'unlock' image
[One (M9) General] bigp951:
Here you go!

dev edition---
[One (M9) General] bigp951:
I hope this works because I bought an AT&T m9 today for my wife but we are on T-mobile. Only thing is I know nothing about dd commands so would need instructions like in the OP.
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Ok first thing you will need to do is dump the current mmcblk0p52 (same as first OP). Pull this files to computer. Download my	mmcblk0p52-rfg_8-Locked.txt (LOCKED VERSION) and compare the two files using HxD or similar.

IF they are the same then you can proceed to flash the my mmcblk0p52-rfg_8-UnLocked.txt(UNLOCKED) file.

adb push mmcblk0p52-rfg_8-UnLocked /sdcard/mmcblk0p52
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p52 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p52
exit
exit

Please proceed at your own risk :)

Thanks
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
exactly the same as mine :)

DEV edition is BLANK (file is all zeros) this could make sense as it was never Sim locked and therefore does not need to be unlocked :)
[One (M9) General] bigp951:
I am ready to attempt this but am curious to what my chances are for a hard brick? I will copy and paste your commands

I have a nandroid on my sd card so I should be able to recover from anything minor.

EDIT--strangely enough when I attempted to push the file to the sd card this came back...

failed to copy 'mmcblk0p52-rfg_8-UnLocked' to '/sdcard/mmcblk0p52': Permission d

enied

I will put the file in the sd card manually and proceed from there
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
I am fairly certain that it will be the correct file. I don't have another partition of someone that has Sim Unlocked before (I only have my one). I assume that it is not Unlock Code specific. I have flashed to my Sprint M9 to no avail (this had 0's before like your dev edition). Also no damage to the phone :)

Hardbrick would be HIGHLY UNLIKELY. I have put my HTC's though the wars and they have always came back to me. As long as you are S-OFF you can recover from almost anything. Copy and paste and double check everything :D.

Best of luck :good:
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
mmcblk0p52-rfg_8-UnLocked (note .txt has been removed) will need to be in the folder where your ADB is :)

Sim unlock

I was a little skeptical at first. However I tried the first method(dumping partitions) until I scrolled through this thread, then I realized I was just able to download, rename, and place the file on my root internal storage. So I did it and bam worked like a charm. Thank you so much for this.
[One (M9) General] wallawallawalla:
Hi, I'm not sure how to download your mmcblk0p52unlocked.txt file. When I click on the link I am directed to a webpage full of characters. The same thing happens when i use my phone to access the link, but the characters seem to be different. I could copy and paste the text into a gedit file (I use linux) but I don't think this is what you meant. Any suggestions much appreciated.
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Right click > save as
[One (M9) General] wallawallawalla:
Thanks for the rely, but there was no 'save as' option available to me. I found a solution though-I installed chromium and that worked fine. Seems Iceweasel is not a fan of xda-developers. I have managed to sim-unlock my Vodaphone UK phone. Thanks for sharing.
[One (M9) General] DylanLee:
Will this method work on Sony Xperia acro HD SO-03D?
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Lol, yes exactly the same phone phone right?
[One (M9) General] DylanLee:
stifilz, can you walk me through this process please?

I recently bought a Sony Xperia acro HD SO-03D docomo in Hong Kong at a very low price.

The shop said that there would be no warranty as soon as I walk out of the shop.

The shop said the sim lock was removed.

I checked the phone with a sim card, and I could make local phone calls.

The phone came with acso S LT26w 4.0.4 firmware, but was unable to upgrade to 4.1.2 OTA.

So I flashed the acro S LT26w official 4.1.2 firmware, and then THERE WAS A SIMLOCK.

I also flashed the official acro HD SO-03D 4.0.4 firmware, and there was a simlock.

From what I understood, sim unlock should be for once and permanent, but now the simlock appeared again.

I guess the shop was doing some kind of softhack to the simlock.

Then I found this post and thought maybe I could softhack it again.

Would you please help me with this?

Many thanks!
[One (M9) General] stifilz:
Sony is an entire new kettle of fish..... I wouldn't no where to begin. You are in the HTC forums
[One (M9) General] justforgot:
Is this permanent fix for un-lock? or if i flash or reset the phone will the sim lock stay or it will be gone?
[One (M9) General] DylanLee:
Oh no!

But thanks anyway!

[One (M9) General] Psiryu:
Might as well post to help anyone still looking into this sim unlock method.

I have a Rogers (Canada) brand M9 I converted to International edition. Performed this sim unlock method on 3.35.401.12 (S-Off), in case I ever needed it, then changed roms a couple times. An AT&T sim worked while I was on a business trip, I did not have to repeat the unlock method on the new rom. It worked regardless of rom for me after doing it just once. Never tried any unlock codes.
[One (M9) General] CleanUpOnAisle13:
Thanks OP!

I just used this to SIM unlock an S-ON T-Mobile M9.

This was a phone that was replaced under HTC's warranty and as such T-Mobile was literally unable to unlock it (none of their override codes worked or anything it was weird).

Thanks for putting in the work OP!

need some instructions

hi man, I bought a m9 sprint Android 5.0.2 s-off ,twrp installed,and rooted the only problem I had that somehow the bootloader was locked so without any knowledge of simlocking thing I unlocked it and the my sim was invalid i tried to flash the original ruu thinking that would help and I stuck upgrading it to Android 6 and finally I relocked the bootloader loader again with no change :crying: so I went to a local tech who managed to somehow to unlock the sim in Android 6 but it only supports calling and 1G internet connection :p so I want to know if it is possible to get 3G and how to correctly unlock my bootloader again without get my sim unlocked again :silly:

thanks in advance :o
[One (M9) General] 2clacaze:
is there anything like this for samsung?

I have a note 2 that this would be perfect for. wasn't sure, but I figured, "diddling with ADB/net recklessly can't hurt, right?"

turns out that I get returned this after first set of commands in su...

root@:/ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p52 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p52old

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p52 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p52old

dd: /dev/block/mmcblk0p52: No such file or directory

root@:/ #

and I'm fairly certain the mm in the filepath element mmcblk52 has to do with Moto Mobile or some corporate bs, and the blk with blacklisting a qualifier, i.e. the number. that being said, Does this exist in a format I could exploit? do you know or know who to pm about this device as it is clearly outside this forum?
[One (M9) General] grim489:
Mmcblk is a partition, like the boot or system partitions. There is a note 2 unlock that's way easier. Or there was. I'm sure if you searched you could find it. But I'm also sure mmcblk0p52 is something completely different on your phone than it is on this one.
[One (M9) General] 2clacaze:
I looked around and most son unlocks that are back door methods seem to lose hold when I update to 6.0. The beautiful part is the new FCC regulations that state that carriers must provide unlock codes for phones that are paid off. That's why they keep trying to upgrade you and keep you on an unpaid phone. Typically, I would just call and claim I'm traveling outside the country and want to temporarily use my phone abroad, but I can't even get there bc I have a T-Mobile phone and no T-Mobile account. At&t goPhone can't unlock bc it isn't their phone. T-Mobile won't unlock unless I have an account. If my credit allowed me to get a postpaid line, I probably wouldn't have a legacy device with one foot in the upgrave.
[One (M9) General] grim489:
Why not flash stock and do the dialer unlock? I'm pretty sure there are no touchwiz marshmallow roms for note 2 right? It's free and pretty simple. I did it on a few Samsung phones.

[One (M9) General] grim489:
I wouldn't suggest you try, mmcblk0p52 on HTC 10 is Skylink, from what I can find and with m9 it says rfg_8. I don't know what those mean, but I'm sure they are not interchangeable, especially between devices. Are there no sim unlock threads in the HTC 10 forum?
[One (M9) General] arknailed7754:
Afternoon!

This is my last resort on an m9 on o2 in the UK. I've tried to get three codes and none work!

Sorry to sound like a newbie here but the guide.

Am I correct to be in TWRP itself then start the ADB commands? As I've tried this but when I type ADB shell it brings up an alien language and can't do anything.

If anything could do the guide in well. A dummies version it'd be good. I can flash edit stuff etc. But here I'm a bit what's going on!

If I can unlock the m9 as well would be sweet otherwise I'll need to sell it

Edit. Ignore everything. Just did it and worked spot on.

Thankyou mate

Hey Guys I have HTC M9 Sprint Model 0PJA2. It has Marshmallow 6.0 Rom in it and its sim was working flawlessly for about an year ago and suddenly yesterday it is saying that "SIMLock enabled (Voice and Data service will not work as SIMLOCK is enabled. Please contact customer service to unlock).

My Phone is in stock condition and modifications has been done yet. Can anyone guide me in this process of how to unlock my phone. Don't want to brick it so that's why a way in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
[One (M9) General] Mjoodsh:
Hello guys,

I'm really lost in how to do this, first I have no idea as i'm not an expert in doing this stuff but I have an HTC one m9 that is sim locked with T-mobile and I don't really understand your procedure in unlocking the phone. a step by step guide will be much appreciated.

Like do I need to root my device if so please post a link in how to do that.

if I need to do more steps before proceeding with the unlock process please let me know

and if there is a detailed guide in how to do your unlock method please post it.

please treat me as a dummy person who knows nothing when you explain what should I do.

Thank you so much...!

Im from Malaysia and recently i bought used m9 from my country. Try to ota update but nothing happen. Stuck with android 6. I check my phone is Sprint set. No wonder i cannot get 4G Lte . But i think its allready sim unlocked as i can put two different sims different provider.

I need to make my phone can use 4G Lte/ GSM Network.

Plan to root it and flash custom rom on general thread not specific m9 thread like sprint/verizon/at&t etc.

What should i do?

Does it still work on T-Mobile M9?

I'm about purchasing 2 T-Mobile M9s and would want to unlock them so I got here. But I'm confused. The unlocking services I see online say the T-Mobile M9 uses the Unlock App, so does this work even if the Unlock App is there for the T-Mobile M9?

NB Is this unlock persistent even after flashing or hard reset?
