Hi guys just wanted to see if there is any headway on unlocking Australin 3vo bootloader...1.49.0012?
As far as I know there's only the HTC method for now.
Hi all.
I am sure this has been answered but I can't find it using search.
All my attempts at looking for the instructions on how to root my EVO 3D use the official HTCdev unlock.
The problem is, when I go through the process I get an error code 170. I deciphered this to be that my
provider blocks me from unlocking. (I am currently in Japan, and my carrier is AU (KDDI)).
How do I unlock the EVO 3D without first going through HTC?
Can someone who knows better point me to the way?
Thanks.
Hello from Canada! This is my first post here, although I've been on this site or other sites like it trying to find out how to fix my problem:
I have my old Rogers GSM HTC EVO 3D, running HBOOT 1.53.0007 (S-ON) and Android ICS 4.0, and I'm trying to give it to my friend who's a little short on cash.
Because he's not on Rogers like I am, I need to unlock it so that it works with his carrier. I've spent roughly 4 hours looking up ways to unlock this thing, including S-OFF, Rooting, HTC Unlocking and more, and by now the details are starting to bunch up and get confusing.
I'm not inept, just confused :silly: I'm a desktop/server software engineer and I have both a Linux machine and a Windows desktop at my disposal - that being said, what would I need to do to get this phone unlocked? Would you be willing to list out a few steps, hints or tips to get this rolling? I'd be really greatful.
I don't need anything fancy in the end, just a working unlocked phone.
If have a few other questions too, if you don't mind explaining for me:
How is GSM unlocking related to rooting, S-OFF, and other stuff?
Is a specific version of android tied to HBOOT? As in, can I keep ICS and still run HBOOT 1.49?

If I understand you correctly, your phone is working fine and you need to unlock SIM? If that's the case you don't need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev site and find SIM unlock tool.
So, answer to your aditional questions is
1. No, you dont need s-off or bootloader unlock
2.H-boot is tied to a specific Androud version but 1.49.xxx h-boot works with all Android versions

Hi
I am new to the forums and read the forum post, i needed to in devs for this. However since I cannot actually post there and get some help until i get 10 posts, I thought I might post here. I am completely lost in these forums hehe
Anyway to the point.
I have a European HTC One S (S4) sim is unlocked, bootloader unlocked and rooted phone. It shows on bootloader screen tampered and unlocked.
However my hboot is 1.15.0000
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
The reason I wanted to get s-off is so i can download and install the latest 4.2.2 sense 5 update, but apparently cannot with s-on? I actually thought it didn't matter if it was on or off, most roms can be flashed regardless as long as bootloader and is rooted?
Basically, I need some advice / help for a newbie to allow me to achieve s-off with all the above done (i guess the chance for bricking is really small compared to when rooting?). I really do not want to brick my phone, and I have no idea about supercid or whether its even needed on the european models, since there does appear to be differences in the software.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I am writing this from Bogota Colombia, My problem as mentioned before its that I cant update my phone cuus I bought it here in Bogota. I have spoken with customer service for Latam and they told me I have one HTC One M9 from sprint. My phone have the S-OFF and its locked. They tell me that I have to restore the security to ON and then I may download a RUU from sprint to be able to update it. But that its something I dont really want to do, as I dont want to set the S back ON nor do I want to update from Sprint.
Now I try to root my phone to be able to download some RUU that I can use here but to be able to do that I read I have to unlock the fastboot also I read that its a good idea to back up the EFS file (for obvious reasons). I have the unlocktoken from HTCDev but before I use it I want to ask you guys for advice as what should I do.
Here in Bogota I haven found no one able to help me. If you are wondering why I want to this all its because my software version its 1.32.651.30 and want to update to the latest version.
Thanks for any help and please dont mind any spell and grama errors.

boy, you can't have update for your M9 since its sprint (and sprint wants OTA... and here in colombia there's no carrier support for sprint-ota stuff)
Since you're s-off just look for twrp roms or RUU for your sprint. I suggest you to keep looking in ANDROID ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT.
In case of emergency, just point to this post and we'll glad to help you
