I don't know the first thing about building a ROM. But doesn't anyone have an AT&T version of this phone?
I do, there's no root yet

It's not that there's no love for at&t...
There is not root out for that model since the bootloader is locked
Bootloader cannot and probably never will be unlocked on this device or any other Android device on AT&T's network. This is the number one reason I left AT&T last year. Without this prerequisite you cannot have custom recovery/kernels/love.
OEM unlock in settings gets us no where?
Same with me @androidfilesharing. Just left them for tmobile. Att had great service and customer service. But no carrier is gonna dictate what i do with MY device. Especially when they make me pay full retail for the device.

First thing you need to know about building ROMs is that the device you are building for needs root. AT&T and Verizon is well known for not allowing root or unlocking bootloaders. Sorry.

So I'm hearing that the international version and the US T-Mo version are different, and it's easy to brick the T-Mo version if you use the intl guide for rooting.
Can someone please be clear about what needs to be done for rooting the T-Mo variant? This is serious business, messing with a brand new phone on a 2 yr contract.

Anyone know how to root the T-Mo HTC One S yet?
Personally, I'm not looking to install ROMs, I just want root, so I can use Titanium to back up apps and appdata and maybe a couple of other things that require root.

Same here. I'm not ready for ROMs quite yet, despite coming from daily flashes of CM9/AOKP on my Nexus S, but I'd sure as hell like to get root and get rid of all this godawful T-Mo bloatware, at the very least.
how can using root for international version brick the tmobile version ??
its not possible, the only way you brick your phone is by not following the instructions

I read a post in the developer section where someone said it was a different process. Maybe a bit more clarification is all we need. Coming from a T989 if I tried to use an international root method this would not go so good..
I just got my t-mobile one s.. Unlocked bootloader- flashed the recovery- then installed su... No problems.
I'm wondering the same. How different is different? I got the GSII for tmobile and buyers remorsed when I quickly realized there was hardly any rom support because of how different it was from the International version. I'm coming from the Vibrant community where variants were heavy but most things were relatively similar in the end. This makes me wonder if each different One S needs its own thread like the Galaxy S series.

I think you must have read something different. It's absolutely not any easier to brick the T-mo version. You must be mistaken. It's actually hard to brick (as in impossible to recover) a phone if your not messing with the radio.

Unlock the bootloader using this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
After that I used the superboot file found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577831
Now your phones rooted.
If you want to install a custom recovery I could only get the "Interim Touch (Custom CWM)" found in the all in one tool to stick.
I'm currently using an unlocked AT&T G2 on the T-Mobile network, but all these AT&T specific features and apps are really bugging the crap out of me. Has anyone tried installing a T-Mobile version of the stock firmware on this Model? Really didn't want to just jump in and mess up my phone without asking first.

Hey, I heard somewhere that if you build a ROM off the stock kernel it would work even if you had a locked bootloader, I am going to try to learn how to make ROMs because it sounds intresting. Just a question.
can't we use flashfire to install ROMs?
Now that we have root I'm sure all these options are being looked at by the devs. Its a waiting game less you have the drive to learn how to become a dev yourself. Me personally I don't have what it takes so I'm just checking the forums daily.
Any luck on cm roms

I doubt CM roms will come out any time soon, if Im not mistaken CM roms need bootloader to be unlocked, which we havent had any yet.
Can anybody confirm if we can flash custom stock roms with flashfire?
T mobile cm-ing away wish we could flash there bootloader
Got a V10 from AT&T today
Hey guys,
We got a V10 from AT&T today in exchange for a G3 that crapped out. I hadn't heard of this phone until I took it out of the box (was expecting a G5). I saw there wasn't a CM release for the H900 and this thread is the most active one I found. I'm a software engineer and have rooted/rom'd several android phones, most recently the G3.
Short story long, I'd like to get CM working/supported on this thing. I saw a guide on stechguide.com for rooting and getting TWRP loaded via lgup/tot method that I'm going to try out. I was also wondering if any of you guys have done this, and if there are any rumors or news for cm support.

If you are on Lollipop you can root using the Tungkick method, but there is no TWRP available for the H900. The bootloader is locked and there is no unlock available for it yet. I wouldn't trust that guide.
If you are on MarshMallow there is no root available yet. Keep an eye out on this forum though, chances are it will break here first.
Hey all! Good news! A 9-year-old bug called the "Dirty Cow" exploit still exists in the Linux/Android kernel can easily grant root on any Android phone!!! See the video below.
http://www.xda-developers.com/9-year...on-of-android/
So there's another bug to exploit for root and even possibly unlocking the bootloader! The bug has been fixed recently in Linux but hasn't been rolled into Android yet. If anyone can get this working on my AT&T LG V10 (running Marshmallow) I'll give a reward of $50! Plus you'll be my hero! Now get crackin!
Have anyone figure it out yet??
Please let me know if you got it

There is interest in this. We simply don't have enough devs. We used to, until someone pissed off JCase and he refused to work on the V10.

The key to unlocking their bootloader would be nice
Right, of course. But can I ask for something else that allows the unlock? In other words, can I reword it?
EDIT- I emailed him asking flat out for a way or a contact of his that might be willing to help unlock the bootloader. Let's keep holding our breaths.

What differences are there between using Stock Verizon vs unlocking this phone? I'm about to get one from Verizon and I'm not sure if I want/need to unlock it. Do I lose anything from the Verizon side when I unlock it? Wifi-calling that kind of thing?

I'm looking to buy a pixel 2 that's a Verizon model but was able to use the latest exploit and so the bootloader has been unlocked. My question is, can I flash roms etc now that the bootloader has been unlocked or do I need to wait for Verizon specific models?
Just trying to figure out exactly what I can do with this model???

You can do anything you want. Pretend it is a Google model now, since that is exactly what it is. Only thing different is once in awhile you will see a VZ specific image posted by Google but those are always just minor changes to the radio. Currently there is no specific VZ version. You have, and always have had the same software as the Google phones.
FYI, you are in the Pixel forum. There are specific forums for the 2's.

One of the greatest aspects of this phone is the ability to search XDA...it's fantastic.
That aside, as long as you don't lock the bootloader, the phone is identical to the Google Store model.
