Sorry, as the model is not the same, I would not risk buying a phone which doesn't support the ROM you deserve. Can you get it somewhere else as an a9?
I believe that you can buy it from htc's website. If your looking for installments/monthly payments. They offer PayPal's installment program

Technically speaking, the phone is considered the HTC One A9s, model 2PQ9100, FCCID NM82PQ9100. The hardware is identical to any other A9 UHL variant.
IF the phone can be can be rooted, I'm pretty certain that you'll be able to s-off with Sunshine and do a full conversion. Maybe @jcase knows more.

Even if you couldn't flash cm13, it would definitely be able to run Supersu, as it is obviously some variation of hiae, you could flash TWRP.

Here's the catch...
Unlock bootloader>flash TWRP>install SuperSU>use Sunshine to s-off ---the device could then (in theory) be converted to the desired A9 MID/CID, and be like any other non-Sprint A9
OR
(Somehow) get root with locked bootloader>Sunshine bootloader unlock and s-off ---same result
If the bootloader can't be unlocked, and there's no way to root otherwise, then the device will be locked down tight until a root exploit is achieved.

That's true, unless the carrier has prohibited unlocking and/or htcdev doesn't support this carrier branded variant, which is possible. There's just no way to know without additional information.

Awesome! That means that a full conversion to unlocked should be possible. Are you going to have the first known converted Signature Premium?
Haha thanks I think. The difference here when I flash recovery and unlock I needed to go to bootloader mode not in download mode. (similar to another device)
My phone full root now. And well function. About conversion? Maybe if this model no longer receiving updated (I mean unlocked device)

It's pretty strange that fastboot is implemented differently than with the A9. It would be logical for the Telstra to share a similar firmware base.
Do you mind posting the output of fastboot getvar all and cat /proc/emmc? (remove your IMEI of course)

Experienced users feel free to shoot me down right away, but I was reading that the Canadian S5 has an unlockable bootloader, unlike the US version.
Could a person flash the Canadian bootloader via Odin, Root the phone, and then flash the US bootloader back?

Because each partition on the phone is signed with a key. If the keys don't match, the phone won't even boot. Canadian model bootloader will have a different key than the other partitions on the Verizon model.

I'm in a Verizon pixel and installed "v" version instead of "u" everything is working. What's different about the international version?
Just a fix for European carriers. I'm using the same on Verizon as well with no issues. You're good.

Nothing it will work just fine. From what I understand just a slight difference for Europe. It will be fine.
What I'd like to know is if I were completely stock on V, bootloader relocked, what updates would I get, if any? Would I get the next version for Europe, or would it be the other? I'm in the US on Verizon (device from Google).

You probably wouldn't get any updates. The trigger for that version probably wouldn't get to you. But I am not certain on that. Might be able to pull it via wifi with no SIM in it.
Do NOT relock your bootloader unless it is just before you are going to put it in a box to send back for warranty.

Why would you think you'd get the European version if you are in the US? Did I miss something in your question? You'd get the U version if you're on Verizon and you can lock and relock the bootloader at your discretion since you have the Google Pixel. I mean if you want to keep wiping your data each time, that is.

He made it sound like his pixel is from Verizon. In that case he can't lock and unlock the bootloader whenever he wants.
To the OP. What are you trying to do? It doesn't matter if you are on V. If it makes you feel better just flash U then. As long as you don't have twrp or root you will still get OTAs. Why would you want to lock your bootloader? You can have an unlocked bootloader and still take normal OTAs just fine . it its a Verizon sold pixel you won't be able to unlock once you lock.

Never follow some thing you found on YouTube. It's an easy way to get into a lot of trouble with your device. Mostly as YouTube videos like this seldom know anything at all about what they are doing.
Is there any rumors of s-off yet? That's usually the first thing I do with my new HTC device, I expect to have mine delivered on Monday, this may be the first time I will have to wait for s-off. :fingers-crossed:

Did you see this part at the end of the instructions?
"UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !"
I reckon if you're on stock NRD90M.G920VVRS4DQD1 your bootloader is locked.
isn't it possible to downgrade and upgrade Verizon roms for the G6 as long as we remain anove 5.1.1?
by the way, there are two Nougat roms available for the G6 over at samsung-updates, one ends in ...DQD1 and the otherone ends i ...DQE1.
There is a root from Vhai fire for the ...DQD1, not for the other one, but... because both roms are Verizon's and meant for the same device, flashing either one shouldn't brick the device, because both have Verizon's digital signature.
is that how it works?
***
honestly i just want to root the phone, im fine with the stock firmware.
nevermind, you are totally right. however, the fact that chainfire released a root for the ...DQD1 tells me he had to have unlocked the bootloader first, which now brings us to the question... how did he unlock the bootloader?
You could downgrade to the OK7 firmware and root that. The string attached is that you will need to run MrMike2182's rootatboot script every time you want to boot the phone.
so has anyone tried this? does it work?
I know it trips KNOX but i don't really care. i just dont want a brick.

Is US Cellular root-friendly? I've been waiting for the Pixel 2 to be released, but I want to make sure I can root it and still keep it up to date.
Also, I am still interested in the temporary root on the S6 if it means I can update to Nougat. Looking into MrMike2182's rootatboot now. Thanks!

S6 root only runs under android 5.1.1 also you need a vm to flash the kernel to the phone. Us cellular is root-friendly. Only at&t and verizon and sprint and T-Mobile lock their bootloaders.

Chainfire just runs an automated script which generates a CF-Auto-Root file for ANY model, whether the bootloader is locked or not.
So the answer is, he didn't unlock it, but simply generated a file regardless, and it's up to the user to figure out the their bootloader status.

Same as Verizon, it's locked down tightly.
Your best bet would be a Sprint version, which has an unlocked bootloader and can be unlocked for both GSM (ATT /TMO) and LTE (VZW) with the proper equipment (unlocking boxes). Or the Tmobile version also has an unlocked bootloader which can be unlocked using online unlocking services but it will only work with GSM cards (ATT/TMO, no VZW!). Both can be rooted via CF-Auto-Root and/or through custom recovery.

Yeah, that's the one I have (which turns out to be "Verizon's model"), yet I have consistently received the message stating that it is "not eligible for bootloader unlocking." Sadly, I specifically made sure that the phone was rootable before purchasing it, but that does not appear to be the case.
Is this (XT1955-6) the same model that you have?
