Htc One m8 vzw unlock? - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Hello, I am currently running with S-OFF but my bootloader is [LOCKED].
I tried to run sunshine and since this phone is preunlocked when i bought it... sunshine already says I have S-OFF as it should so it doesn't offer an option to simply unlock my bootloader.
Basically:
I can't flash TWRP like this
I cannot use sunshine to unlock my bootloader as it normally does when granting s-off
I am stumped.
Any suggestions to get my bootloader unlocked?

SOLVED.
Changed CID to 22222222 (thanks jcase from sunshine irc)
Ran HtcDev. Recieved error when using fastboot. Tried again, Error. Tried one more time but instead of using fastboot oem unlock Unlock-code.bin
I used WinDroid Toolkit and manually selected my Unlock-code under the 3rd step (unlock bootloader) and it worked perfectly.
For anyone who was wondering this is a good workaround if you cant get sunshine to work due to your device being pre-unlocked (probably not with sunshine)

If you have a verizon phone, HTC DEV won't work. Neither will the fastboot command (as you've found out). The only way to unlock it is with Sunshine. There is no other method available.

Hmmm okay
Thanks bro

Used to be if you were S-OFF you could issue a command and it'd unlock and relock as you pleased since security is off. This was on the m7 of course, so I'm not sure if any such thing is true for the m8.

The same is true with the M8 but the only way to get S-OFF is also the Sunshine app.

He is S-OFF though, so he should be able to just issue the command and change it from LOCKED to UNLOCKED. Just have to find the command.

Please help: How make unroot and lock bootloader again?

Please:
I need lock my bootloader again and unroot my HTC.

And to lock my HBOOT again, Which method for this?
To unlock the bootloader and install the Super Su, I used the method of the prompt comand (execute/cmd...).
'cmd: fastboot .....'
Thanks for help.

Thanks, but, in htcdev dont have relock, only unlock boot.
to relock,youll simply use the fastboot command fastboot oem lock
at this point your bootloader will say **relocked** instead of **unlocked** and it will remain so until you run an RUU that overwrites it.
Forgive me refreshing the old threads. I just wanna make sure, cos last time I unlocked bootloader I had to use xtc-clip and it was an irreversible process....so I'm kinda old school here.
If I understood correctly, unlocked bootloader is no longer a warranty issue since it can be re-locked, isn't it? As long as your possible HW-problem doesn't make adb, ruu-installation proces an impassable nightmare, u can easily re-lock bootloader, restore stock ruu (using other words: u can erase corpus delicti and send your handset to service centre, without being caught, am I right?

Sorry buddy, you're wrong!
Once you have unlocked your bootloader (its state would change from "Locked" to "Unlocked") it can be locked again but its state will be set to "Relocked".
You can't restore the original state of "Locked" neither by launching any stock RUU nor by flashing a new version of the bootloader.
Corpus delicti is rather hard to hide, I'm afraid... Your hands are stained with blood and HTC has tons of luminol in its warehouses...
Thank you for clarification! I was hoping that RUU would overwrite "re-locked" to "locked", but I guess that'd be too good to be true
That's the reason for some people to wait for s-off and avoiding unlocked bootloader via htc-dev. But to be honest, Android without root is like a Porsche with max. 100 mph.. not nearly satisfying..

yes, you can if you follow the unlock steps from htcdev.
it tells you, you can relock it by
fastboot oem lock

if you're lucky.. the bootloader will say "relocked" instead of locked.

so will the htcdev have a record that I 've unlock the bootloader before?
and how can I make it to be "locked" instead of "relocked" ?
tks
Not sure about it going on record, but no, as of now there is no way to make it say locked again *that I'm aware of*.
Htc will know you had unlocked it before but others probably wont see it since I've exchange my HTC One X at bestbuy after the unlock without issue ... did not even relock it !
anyway if you're lucky by the time your phone briked maybe DEV will have found a way to change relock to lock hope this will come with the s-off/s-on ...

[Q] Re-Unlock One X 2.20 w/ Token?

I have looked around and couldn't find anything or maybe I overlooked it in my search. I seen where someone stated that if you updated to 2.20 but had your token you could "re-unlock" the bootloader. I have my token, now how do I go about doing this or is there a link? Do I go back to HTC Dev and follow the directions?

If you had your bootloader unlocked before then you should have supercid. Just follow the same instructions you did to unlock before. You may need to use the old unlock token from before, tho I'm not sure.
If you still have the original. Token
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
It should work fine but if not just go get a new one from htcdev

Well the thing is the owner before me is the one who rooted it/unlocked it with the token. He sent me the token so I am just trying to figure out what to do with it. As far as getting another token form HTCDev, from what I understand that is not possible especially with 2.20 since the HTC One X isn't supported.

Unless the previous owner changed the CID back to the AT&T CID, it should still be SuperCID. This means you can use HTCDev.com to get a new token as many times as you want.
The barrier to unlocking in 2.20 is getting root to change the CID. But if yours is still SuperCID, that isn't an obstacle for you
you should be fine to use the token he gave you.
Stick the token in your adb/fastboot folder, boot phone into bootloader. From command prompt, CD to the same folder and type
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Follow directions on screen from there

[Q] Proper way to unlock a relocked boot loader

As the title states, what's the proper way to unlock a relocked boot loader? Using Firewater again doesn't do anything. I can't flash any .zip files without them instantly failing (even if the MD5 checksum is correct) which wasn't happening before i fast boot oem locked my M8.
Any ideas?
I'm assuming you're also s-off since this is the Verizon forum so you could change to super cid and then get an unlock code from htcdev.

Naturally, yes, I am s-off. I can get an unlock code from htcdev just by changing my cid? Like this? That could work.
Ew, I can't give you the details cause I don't know them. I vaguely recall that super cid is all ones but I was intending to give you enough info to Google on. You obviously did with your post but again, I THINK your super cid should be all ones to then you would be able to get an unlock code from htcdev. Sorry I can't be of more help.

That's what that post says to do. I might as well try it, I'll write down my current cid and then test it out. Here's to not breaking anything :good:
Alright, changing the CID and unlocking using htcdev unlocked my boot loader perfectly, and now the rom I was trying to flash isn't just instantly failing! Thanks for your help!
One thing I don't know but would find out if I were you is if you should now change you cid back to what it was. I understand that some ROMs will check that and install the proper files based on it. It just might keep you from accidentally doing something you shouldn't.

Probably nothing you can do, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader.
There is a chance that the unlock site isn't working, and is giving a false " not eligible" message it happens.
if that's the case you just will have to keep trying the site.
Which CID does the device have?
Code:
fastboot getvar cid

I have a cid that is ineligible, 0x0002, originally I didn't want to admit that it was impossible since it seems silly for motorola to control the phone that I own, but when I read up about the cid, yeah, it won't work, thanks for replying to me though!
Does this mean Stylus 2020's bootloader are unable to unlocked now?

0x0002 is the Verizon Cid, Verizon doesn't want the bootloader unlocked.
Verizon branded devices are rarely able to be unlocked, same for At&T.
