HTC Network Unlock — Complete Guide

This guide explains how to enter the HTC unlock code you received from code-gsm.com to permanently remove the carrier restriction from your HTC device. HTC uses a SIM Network Unlock PIN (NCK code) to remove the lock permanently.

Requirements

HTC unlock code from code-gsm.com (received by email)
A SIM card from a different carrier than the one that locked the phone
HTC phone charged to at least 20%

How to Find Your HTC IMEI

Dial *#06# to display the IMEI. Also found in Settings → About → Phone Identity → IMEI, on the original box, or under the battery (if removable).

Method 1: Automatic Prompt on Boot (Most HTC Models)

HTC One series, Desire series, U series, HTC 10, and most modern HTC phones

Power OFF the HTC phone
Remove the current SIM card
Insert a SIM from a different carrier
Power ON the phone
Phone displays: "SIM Network Unlock PIN"
Enter the 8-digit unlock code
Tap Done / OK
"Network Unlock Successful" — phone is permanently unlocked

Method 2: CDMA Phones (Verizon, Sprint, Telus)

HTC phones originally sold on CDMA networks

Turn Airplane Mode ON, then OFF
Go to Settings → More / Connections → Mobile Networks
Set Network Mode to GSM only or Global
Insert a foreign GSM SIM card and reboot
Phone prompts for the unlock code
Enter the code and tap OK

Method 3: Settings Menu (AT&T / T-Mobile Models)

Go to Settings → Personal → Security
Look for "SIM Network Unlock" or "Set up SIM card lock"
Enter the unlock code
Tap OK — reboot the device

Method 4: Older HTC Models (Sense UI 3.x — 2010/2011)

HTC Desire, Desire S, Desire HD, Sensation, Sensation XE, HTC Incredible

Power on with a foreign SIM inserted
"Please enter SIM unlock code" prompt appears
Enter the HTC unlock code
Tap OK — phone is now unlocked
