Can you go into the store? Look at the bottom of the phone and tell us what the model no. Is.

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.

It should still be able to be unlocked, it is solely based off a model number.

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.
I wonder if there's a RUU for this device...

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)

Custom ROM no, since the bootloader is locked you can't flash a custom recovery or modify the boot.img which is required for ROMs.
Root is possible but a bit different for US models devices, you might need to check the US Snapdragon specific subforums as this is mostly Exynos (international)

oh is it possible to unlock the bootloader? i also have the G930U, which model has support for custom ROM, just got it new so I can refund it if needed and swap for a different phone
It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on any US model (e.g. G930V/U/T/A/P). The G930U may be carrier unlocked, but the bootloader is still locked.
If you want ROM support you'll need a G930F/FD (international) or the G930W8 (Canada)

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?

Unfortunately the SM-S908U1 cannot have its bootloader unlocked normally. Unless there's some other method or exploit, it will be locked forever.
There is an exploit out there. It has been in the news lately. It is whether or not it actually ever makes it to anyone that can use it to root our devices. But it does work for the s22. Here is an article about it.

Hope this comes to us, I feel like I just wasted money twice... I also have sm-n986u from ATT... Can't unlock that bootloader either for root
Only Exynos and a couple of Snapdragon variants offer bootloaders which can be unlocked. A little research goes a long way.

for now, I'll disable my software updates for android and wait lol.... Root became available for my note 20 ultra after some time, but I had already installed a later version that was patched....
That’s why I ended up spending the money to buy the international version rather than the US\Canada versions knowing that there is a lot of network incompatibilities. I need the bootloader to unlock and root.

This looks very promising... Should be able to transfer root files even without trippin knox? Seem like that concept would fix the issue...
Same case here as OP. Hoping a workaround comes up!
Ditto, here. I'll keep checking back. My 3T was un-rooted for a while, until the ads started getting worse... Gonna really miss AdAway and Vanced.
Still no bootloader unlock for a SM-S908U1? Its time for me to start writing kernels again!!! Tired of no customization and bad battery.

How are you disabling updates? My att 908U just randomly updates without me allowing it. Really annoying. It does it when and where it wants to. I don't like them having such control over my phone.

Hello,
If I recently purchased a flip 3 and am on a payment plan, tmobile won't unlock my phone unless I pay it off in full. Is it possible to flash the default software of the unlocked model so I can get updates from Samsung and still have my sim work? I'm not switching carriers, do I need the tmobile version of firmware for data/phone to work if the phone isn't unlocked?
Thanks

Yes, you can flash the unlocked version of the firmware and your phone should work/receive updates as if it was an unlocked unit. Worst case scenario you can just reflash the T-mo firmware and go back to what you currently have. Good info here:
F711U and F711U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here
(WIP, files are currently processing and uploading) For those who aren't already aware, F711U is the model number of all of the US carrier versions of the Z Flip3. The F711U1 is the model number of the same device, but sold by Samsung SIM...
