I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for any help!
Currently, the goldcard method doesn't seem to be working. That's the only way to flash an official ROM without having an unlocked bootloader.
So, currently, sadly no way to do it. Hopefully when HTC release an unlocked bootloader for it, we will see changes.

Do you know whether HTC is planning to do so at all? I heard they wanted to make future bootloaders unsigned, but will the Sensation get an "Update" or something like that to have it unsigned?
I asked HTC about how and when the bootloader will be unlocked and they just tweeted me back saying "Good question. More specific details will be shared soon."
So yeah... :/

Hello,
Got a HTC Sensation from Swisscom and I'm wondering the same, any news on this?
I tried an update found on the forum: version 1.35.401.1, tried to install and said 'wrong client id'... Didn't update.
Just sent a request to HTC customer support to know if I'll get the OTA... But I don't expect much from this.
If I can't unlock and root this phone I'm gonna get rid of it and will never get a HTC again, that's one sure thing. Already regret having bought it, should have waited for it to be unlocked first!

You'll have to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or for AlphaRev to do that before HTC). Expect HTC do provide the full unlock in September.
PS. I bought it unbranded meanwhile.
First off, I'd like to apologize for dublicating my own post The original's here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40123979&posted=1#post40123979
Second, yes, the same question: Has anyone here tried to unlock this phone? the Infobar A02 is basically a modified version of HTC One X, so some one on 2chan suggest that we should follow the same procedure of unlocking AT-T HTC One X for this one. Btw, HTCDev already S-ON/OFF this device.
Thank you for any kind of helping here. I'm anxiously waiting for any solutions, since I like this phone:laugh:
The one x is completely unlockable thru HTCdev. Unless you own the att version because HTC blocks att cids

@wilkin: This is a very interesting phone. I like the UI, honestly, so I'm looking for a way to unlock this.
@area51: I'm not talking about the AT-T version of HTC One X. I'm talking about this one: youtube.com/watch?v=-6O1-y6x-Ko
Like I said, it's a very heavily modified version of the HTC One X, so someone from 2chan (anonymously chatroom for japanese) suggest that after rooting, we should follow the same procedure of unlocking the AT-T's HTC One X to unlock this one.

If it's heavily modified then it's not really similar. Are you talking about hardware or software

I know this is an old thread, but since there's unlock directions now:
This article describes how to SIM-unlock the Infobar after you've achieved S-Off. Pull misc.img and some modem files (follow the commands the site gives you, I'm guessing), use a binary editor to edit misc.img so that (address?) 00001020 reads 02, then push it back into the phone. Poof, unlocked. If the Chinese sites are any indication, this unlock applies to the CDMA side as well, if you're planning to use it on a CDMA carrier that does SIMs.
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.

Any idea or suggestion to unlock the hotspot. I just need the hotspot unlocked I don't need to be root or superiser. I just need the hotspot unlocked, I have tried with Foxfi but it just allow to tether by usb. Any idea for this? Thank you
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.

If a dev has interest trying, he will find a way. But the thing is, most devs won't have interest. So sit tight and maybe send a bounty

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.
Hi Nerds,
I just get my new HTC One ME from China and I wonder that there is still no specific way to root it. The hardware is allmost from the M9 Plus. You can compare the ME to M9+ (gsm arena website) sorry not aviable to post links yet ^^. the difference between this two devices is, the ME got no aluminium case and there is no 2nd Camera on the back side. And unfortunately no USB 3.0. but the same chipset cpu and gpu.
my question is, can I root it with the common HTC ONE M9 PLUS files. I really dont want to brick it, so i better ask =)
thanks!

Well, i think there's already a recovery for m9ew, but in chinese:
http://bbs.mgyun.com/thread-44535-1-1.html
someone here with good Chinese might help you to download it and upload it to somewhere easier to access.
It may be tho' in Chinese inside TWRP so you'll need a dictionary possibly. Or you can try extract it with https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools and replace the ui portrait resources with english inside twres, then repack.
And to answer the question: I wouldn't try it with m9pw (m9+) recovery, very high chance of failure, at least not without a full RUU zip to make sure you can restore phone to stock.

Yes,the hardware of ME is almost same as M9+. But don't use the same recovery for it only if you already have a RUU.
Bellow is a english version recovery for ME from http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8014295-1-1.html
download：http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTs0fNh
password：8ft8
and then you could flash root file.
Reminder:
1. You’d better have a RUU .
2. flash the recovery and initially go to the recovery will break your system from OTA. If you would,try to repack it.

Unless you have a unmodified system image backup, you won't apply OTA from original hTC update. If you can get the OTA file somewhere and extract the firmware. Flash it manually and follow the ROM chef to flash custom ROM.
I didn't find out any custom ROM released on the above website. You need to join their QQ group to get one and I don't have a QQ account ( china mobile phone number). I am happy there was a XDA forum to share information for M9+.
hello, i have m9ew with radio 1405. can anyone guide me into installing GAPPS ?
I got mine from HK so it came with gapps. where did you find yours in China? i could not find anyone who had the ME in China. With regards to Gapps, did your phone come with HTC market? if so u can usually get gapps directly from there. its an app called gms or gsm, i cant remember exactly. then you run that app and it will install gapps automatically, just follow the onscreen instructions. That was the case with my M7 dual sim.
any updates on this? solutions?

I didnt dare to root it yet because Im not in Chinese language and I didnt want to break from OTA so short after release

so far my m9ew is still complete stock without root
sorry

First of all thanks for prompt reply, I can't read Chinese myself so I didn't dare too but I unlocked the bootloader officially in case I figure out root method.
The phone is doing great though I miss rooting tools but I face a serious issue which is overheating which is so frustrating for me.
It makes it lagging and slow and I have to let it cool down to regain its full power

Sunshine, the popular bootloader unlock and S-Off tool for HTC and Motorola devices has just been updated to version 3.1.22. This update brings support for Android 6.0 Marshmallow as well as two new devices. Sunshine will now work on the HTC One A9 and the HTC Desire 626s smartphones.

you may have to wait and see if they add your device, or contact them and offer to help get your device added if they need any files or testers.
maybe they will give you a free copy if they ask for your help in testing or whatever. Justin is a reasonable guy, i have chatted with him a few times.
I chatted with sunshine they said the firmware I have just isn't supported yet. I guess wait for devs to do their thing
