Hey guys, so It's already time to upgrade from my G2. M8... Great choise, isn't it?
Kay so, the guy who's gonna sell me it has the Verizon version, and i saw some posts that you can't root / Unlock bootloader / etc ? Is there other ways? I might get the phone but I'd miss root at least.
If the answer is no, which variant should I get? (I say variant because Carrier is the same thing for me because I live in El Salvador, so)
If you are on or up to 4.4.4 then you are lucky.If you are on above that (Lp) then there is still not Unlock bootloader option.
Even if you are on LP it won't be a problem ONLY if you buying a used or new s-off device.About the carrier,if your carrier is veriozn which is cdma then this is the best variant.
Yes,i think other carriers do not have that bootloader unlocking problem (you can unlock bootloader via HTC Dev).This is verizon prob.

Hello everybody on my first post in xda, i need your help, it is why i am here, i have a Htc One X of 16GB but with tegra 3, don't have Lte and it say that is from europe in the hardware info (Have HTC logo, don¡t company logo or at&t logo)(yoigo get that one to me, is free sim) and then i don't know if that one is at&t, evita, if is the XL, or simply one x international, i am just now
i was searching for how to root that one (and if possible flash that one) yesterday and today, i have linux installed, ubuntu 13.10, and all what i try to do fail or didn't work. (believe me, i read a long number of post and download a long number of files and try some different methods typing on the console.
I need your help to root my phone, i will accept to unlock bootloader, to edit hex, to flash 20 files, to downgrade my phone, and to burn my face (preffer to don't do it) if neccesary.
How can i do it?
All possible util data from my device:
Resume (Fully updated with the official software)
USB Depuration mode: On.
Android 4.2.2
Sense 5
Software Version 4.18.401.2
Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be
Compilation number 4.18.401.2 CL231174 (i was touch that 7 times then i am supposed developer)
Hboot 1.72
What is perfect to me?
My final purppose is flash cyanogenmod 10.2.1, if can't do want to simply get root access.
(Other possibility to me is flash that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640571
(i am not noob (of all) i was rooted some devices and flash two devices and don't have problem to try the harder method if someone know how to do what i want to do)
THANKS for the helper and sorry if my english isn't perfect!!

i search and read, i found how to root and flash (and i understand and stand all) but don't work for me, i try to unlock bootloader but fail, i have my Unlock_code.bin, but can't charge that one (last step), i get a command not found problem, you are a senior user, just the user that i am searching to help me, probably you know long more that me but i know to RTFM, i first search the solution here (at&t and international one x forum) then on google, then on tons of sites, but yet don't found the solution, unlock the bootloader is supposed to be easy, the problem on that can be that i am using ubuntu 13.10 and not a windows... (it is why i was writing my pc SO)
thanks for you, but need personal help with that.
Please try to help me with an usual problems list, some ideas, some howto or almost redirect me to the correct link where someone have a similar problem that was solver, because, i can't found that.
Thanks other time , but sorry because don't is usefull to me search (i am yet searching) :crying:

Tegra3 is not the EVITA, its the ENDEAVORU.
To verify, you can boot into hboot and you will either see EVITA or ENDEAVORU.
For ENDEAVORU, its pointless to ask here. Any advice we give you would fail and possibly even brick your phone. You need to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x

You should have done some research before you installed the update, it patched the last exploit which means there's no way for you to unlock the bootloader or get root. You'll hav to wait and see IF a dev bothers to crack it on this device which is getting old now.

No you can't without unlocking the unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a fairly well established (and discussed) fact that official updates patch root exploits, that's why it pays to research before doing something like that.

When its answered on here there is no method to unlock the bootloader, this includes downgrading. If there was a downgrade method, you would have been directed to that. Downgrading is not allowed on Android without root.

By buying a phone from a source other than your carrier, and also asking to mod the phone to work beyond its intended features (even though WiFi hotspot is intended to work on just about any carrier version except AT&T) you put yourself out of the category of "normal phone user" and it also means you have to do the proper research. Not knowing is no excuse.

Fair enough. However, if your BL is unlocked and you are rooted, I doubt you are that much of a junior.
That being said, its pretty hard to have an answer about a update that hasn't even been released yet.
Basically, once it hits, some will take it for the team, either on purpose or on accident, and information will be flowing...until then its only speculation.
I'm sorry if I came across like a DB.

Hello, I'm a little new the website but I've lurked around before. I've run out of ideas and don't want to break anything. I've recently temp rooted my HTC One M8 and would like to unlock the bootloader and S-Off so I may load a custom rom. I've done this once before on an older android device but with this one I simply cannot do it. Can anyone provide a tutorial on how I should go about this? I understand firewater no longer exists and I dont really want to pay for sunshine unless I have to. Also, my phone is running 4.4.4

THanks, I should have specified the M8. I do remember a few M7s slipping through right after release that could be unlocked.
In any event anyone thinking they can go that route with an M8 it is a dead end.

Hi guys, 8 months later and I guess there's still no chance of rooting an Android 5.0.1 VZN HTC M8? I have tried everything so far and as this post concludes, the HTCDev tool won't unlock the phone and Sunshine requests a pre-rooted phone. Any work arounds out there? I'm trying to wipe and install a stock HTC rom and bin the VZN.

Yes there's been a method that works. Find my downgrade thread in the general section. After downgrading use kingroot to get root and then sunshine to s-off.

Thank you, I'll search for the guide and see if I can follow it!
Have been a long time loyalist to LG phones over the past 4 years but am getting frustrated at the trend of bootloader locks with at&t handsets. I originally owned the G1 Dream and then the HTC Desire HD from HTC back in their heyday... Both were great phones to tinker with for the rom enthusiast. I have not bought an HTC phone since, because I could not trust their flippant camera choices. I ordered the LG G6 and sold it for the t mobile model, only to discover it may be fully locked down for a while, even with the t mobile model (fastboot commands stripped from the handset for some reason).
Guess I'm looking for a next gen phone with a killer camera and ability to flash to stock Android roms when they're available. Who here knows if I can expect this phone to be fully available for bootloader unlock to TWRP and rom support? If not, I just may end up selling my phone and wait for the Pixel 2 to be released otherwise.

Bootloader unlock with HTCDev will definitely be available (except for some carrier variants). SunShine support for gaining S-Off might or might not materialize.

I agree its almost a given its gonna happen. Its just HTC's thing.
From HTC's website http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-u11-unlocked/
"The GSM Unlocked HTC U11 is the same great device as any HTC smartphone, but without unnecessary pre-loads or SIM restrictions. You'll experience more phone freedom than ever!
The GSM Unlocked edition on HTC.com allows you to pop in an activated SIM from the carrier of your choice* and change carriers at will, or to unlock the bootloader without voiding your warranty.
Your HTC warranty even covers bootloader unlocking on the HTC U11!
For more bootloader unlocking info, visit www.htcdev.com"
Also, there's been a working build of TWRP for this device for almost 2 months, so that shouldn't be a concern either .
Unfortunately you're going to have to find someone else to maintain it, though, since I can't afford to buy a U11.

There are SIM-locked versions of U11 that are sold by carriers, Sprint for sure and maybe some EMEA carrier variants.
No version will be bootloader unlocked out of the box, but all (including carrier ones) will be bootloader unlockable through HTCDev. Usually, only Verizon / EE have their handsets blacklisted from HTCDev, but Verizon doesn't have its own version of U11, not sure about EE.
