Ok, I am completely new at this and I am sorry if this is already a thread, if so please point me in the right direction.... I bought a HTC one m8 (att) off of craigslist. He told me that it was carrier unlocked, which I like, but not rooted and running skydragon. I'm not savvy enough to have a rooted phone and would like it to be stock, other than the carrier unlocked part. I've googled and searched all of these forums and cannot seem to understand anything anyone is talking about other than finding out that this phone is S-on, which i guess is a problem for what I want to do. Any help would fricken awesome. Thank you.

Metro as in MetroPCS? If so, MetroPCS only works with CDMA phones. The Glacier/MyTouch 4G is a GSM phone.
so basically there is nothing to be done lol....well anyways, i have the MAXX for VZW and originally it was CDMA but as of last month the ICS ota came through and now its GSM capable...so can i swap my sim to the mytouch just for ****s....if so, how do i unlock it and root ?

Mod Edit: Do not flame..
If you are on Gingerbread, you'll need to downgrade to FroYo to root. Go here.
Once on Froyo, use this to attain S-Off.
Then flash a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or 4EXT (my favorite) and flash away.
If you ask what the best ROM is I'll find you and stab you to death It will be out of kindness, I assure you.
The above statement is probably against the rules and may get me an infraction. :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!
Thread Closed.. Please search and post questions in the Q&A section... Not the general section.
Also guys you know the rules do not be rude to new members... You know the rules. Last warning..
What's going on guys. I bought this unlocked att htc one m8 a couple of days ago and was hoping to switch the cid/mid to T-Mobile. However, while I did get the boot loader unlocked along with rooting it, sunshine keeps saying error and makes me exit. Can anyone help? I'm currently running an insertcoin rom could this possibly be the issue?
P.s. Ever since I flashed insertcoin, I haven't been able to flash any other roms. So if anyone could also help with that it would be a big help!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Your best option here is to use the live support on the Sunshine site.
Thread closed, thanks.
Hey guys Im new so here it is.
Hey, i just have a veeeeery big problem downgrading my HTC Wildfire. I believe that it is so old and yes it is 2015 and i have this phone. I want to root this phone so bad yet rooting it seems so complicated where in fact took me sleepless days finding out a way to downgrade my phone.
My HTC Wildfire is unfortunately still in HBOOT 1.01.002.
The unRevoked method for Wildfire does not work since the website seems to be off.
It is still S-On. Need for it to be S-Off
Ive searched so many methods of downgrading yet still nothing works. I have tried rooting my HTC Explorer which was the best yet I sold it to my father. I also rooted the phone of my mom which is ASUS Zen2.
Btw, I wanted to downgrade it because i need to update its android version so that i could possibly download apps and run it better. Please give attention to my new thread. I hope someone could help me. :crying: :crying: :crying:
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device here:

I have moved to the UK and I have the verizon HTC M8, as you can imagine I don't the best cell coverage or speed.
I found the instructions to unlock all bands, however I can't get it to work and I don't want to play around too much and screw things up. Is there an easy way to get the bands unlocked? Or maybe a custom ROM based on a UK variant?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Why is this posted in an LG G4 forum?

I think the mods moved it. It was definitely posted originally in the LG G4 forum.

that makes more sense. lol sorry about that
Okay so any useful responses? The thread has been moved to the correct forum as per my request.
Hi,
I have an HTC One M7 Sprint (m7wls) or (m7spr) and after my contract runs out, I was planning on selling my phone to them (becuase I own it), but they have AT&T. I know that AT&T has a different partition layout, and I read something about having to change the MID, but couldnt I just download and flash the AT&T RUU? Or do I have to do anything else?
I read an article and found out most of everything, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right.
Sorry I'm a noob,
Wesley
