This thread is about paid service, Im looking to do this for free. Why does this work on sg2 and not on skyrocket? Are you guys saying those ebay sales for usb unlocking is a scam?

basically there is no free unlock. U have to pay for it as it stands right now
AT&T is evil. Check out this thread also. You can also wait 6-8 months, and AT&T SHOULD have an unlock code by then.

I think 6-8 months is a bit far fetched. They usually do 6-8 after release, which we are approaching. I guess Ill keep trying with ATT. I tought we can do the USB unlocking like the sg2 and like the sites are offering paid service.

all we need is a dedicated dev to find the hidden files where the code lives, like they did on the galaxy s 4g, that was so easy i unlocked 5 of those in less than 1 hour, FREE.
So naturally when the galaxy came out, I tried the same way as in before but no luck the files are somewhere else and are very difficult to find

Something to keep an eye on, although I doubt I'll have that much use for it. I'm not taking my Skyrocket to another carrier anytime soon.

They are by far the worst provider I have ever dealt with.
Ok so, after much fighting with regular ATT reps and speaking to managers, I got nowhere, but on Saturday I called 916 843 4685 which is the international department, 1 minute conversation basically I need unlock code, here is my IMEI and here is my email. Today I got the email with the code. DO NOT waste time with regular CS, call international department directly !
D'oh!

Only other thing I can think of is that maybe it'll be possible on the 6th (proper release date)?

Guess we'll see. Is there any other way to go about unlocking without HTCDev?

It's not up to HTC, it was probably a requirement to have the device on AT&T. Seeing as how they complied with the Vivid, I can see why they would comply here.

So do I cancel my Amazon pre-order? And just get the Rogers version?
Ugh... I have a Rogers HTC One XL but I also had a Motorola Atrix and went through the same frustrations with the locked bootloader.
I really hope we can find a solution having an identical device on a different network. Best of luck, you guys.

the rogers one x unlocks fine. AT&T seems to have wanted their devices 'blacklisted' which clearly sucks.
@Pirateghost: how was the unlocked bootloader achieved for the AT&T Holiday? ... And I wonder if the method can be used in this case to 'break' at&t's one x bootloader.
@Paul: I'm guessing you've already sent an email to htc regarding the matter. If they reply, do share.
Like others, if this remains the case, my phone will be returned to AT&T immediately! That's an absolute joke.

He knows that, judging from his post.
That's why he mentioned the Atrix, in order to show he can understand our pain.
Right?
If it's not available on the 6th, we'll need to protest. I'm tired of this **** AT&T pulls.
What hurts them then worst is bad PR. If we make their PR worse, they'll allow it.

Honestly, AT&T needs to cut the BS.
This is unacceptable.
Time for us devs to start working on an unlock... *sigh*
Well, I was going to wait around until Sunday, but this seals the deal, on my way to AT&T right now.

Thanks, hopefully we can break something out soon. I have to wait till Sunday for mine since its already preordered with no cancellations, but as soon as I get mine I will begin my attempts as well.
Hopefully we can work on getting S-OFF as well. -_-

HTC provided the quote in the article...
DesignGears, PLEASE STAY. PLEASE, I BEG YOU, PLLLEAAAASSEE ???????? i will do annnnything for you.
also, this is a bit of speculation on our part... at&t could just be holding the boot loader unlock until the phone is actually released. we don't know anything for sure. best bet is to wait until sunday for some news. i also think that we should SPAM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL. I REPEAT: SPAM THEIR FACEBOOK WALL!!!!!!!

Oh come now, DG! You ran off from the Atrix 4g and we got it done! (I was one of the few who didn't get the2dcour in his phone ) Your work is grand. This device is deserving of the AAA treatment, just give it a couple weeks and see how it all plays out!

Just cancelled my pre-order. If and when they ever get around to giving us an unlock or the devs here crack it, I might reconsider. Until then, AT&T can kiss my ass.
Yeah this is just speculation based on something from htcs end. We haven't heard anything from att officially yet
Edit: obviously this is being done by att, by who is to say they won't unlock it after a month or so

I'm pretty sure they said the same thing regarding the Vivid at first. It eventually got unlocked.
I think its still too early to totally freak out of this. All we have is one very generic quote from HTC and nothing from ATT yet. I think it will get done soon enough, if not... well then we can freak out.

I think it's the perfect time. The Vivid community waited too long and they had to wait 2 months to get an unlock from HTC

You're always welcome back on the "real X" side. HTC UK said on the 2nd the graphics issues were identifed and an update specifically for them (not 1.29) was due soon.
It's kind of an interesting position people find themselves in. With the X you get: funky Nvidia related crap, 32GB of memory, ****ty battery life and an unlocked bootloader. With the XL you get a better SoC, 16GB of memory, LTE, better battery life, tons of AT&T "enhancements," and potentially no way to remove them if the bootloader stays locked. Pick your poison.

Yup. I agree that it's still possible we'll get an unlock (like the Vivid), but no amount of pressure is ever too much. The more we press AT&T and HTC, the better.
They don't really care about our community or our protests. But, like a little pest, they want us out of their hair. If we continue to be pests, they will get frustrated and cede to us.

Just a troll trollin'. Probably going to unlock the bootloader after that.

Not like he was claiming a bl unlock... didn't seem that unreasonable! Haha

Will do. I signed up for Premium care, gonna grab lunch then to the best buy premium care center. I'll report back. ?
I reported back to the wrong thread out of frustration. Here's my report :
Reporting back after trying to redeem my replacement device through Samsung Premium care. Well they sent me to t-mobile and tmo processed an order immediately. Although I did have to give them a credit for the new device , charge will be reversed once they receive the defective phone. Samsung Premium care is not ready for a subscription based platform. I was informed its a 3rd party company handling things. Not sure they are in concert as of yet. Paid beta program.
