Oh that's sad. Mine was failing before christmas, it worked today. Let's hope they roll out key's for other amaze users too.. Good luck..
Oh really? I got my Amaze yesterday, maybe it's going by date it was manufactured.
Hope mine will be unlocked by tonight
Update: Just tested again, it got unlocked !
Telus is still a no go.... just tried and it failed like it always does...... htc did post on there twitter account about 2 hours ago that Wind and Mobilicity are now supported...but no mention of telus..... I have been asking them on there FB site about it and haven't gotten a response yet... but Im sure ill get some canned answer about how they are working hard on it..... .... hope you Wind and Mobilicity users enjoy!!!

hello, can I get some help please
I am stuck at step 5 I believe where I run the android sdk manager and have to select the files to install, however, I select the 2 boxes for android sdk platform and android sdk tools, but nothing installs.

assistance is appreciated

I'm planning to get the DNA first thing tomorrow and was wondering if anyone knows when htcdev might remove support for unlocking.
I read that the Incredible 4G had support originally and then they removed it.

Apparently someone just tried it and it didn't work, so they might have just blocked it. I hope this isn't the case, but it might be.

I received my phone this morning and get and CID error when trying to unlock it on the htcdev site. There is a fake CID method for some other htc phones but I am afraid to try it.
Can someone who has successfully done this post exactly what they did to get it to work on the htcdev site? I'll be pissed if it's blocked now.

firstly you need to flash the tmobile based ics modem ( flash in cwm or twrp) found here:
http://multiupload.biz/fdpnprq0ov6o/Official TMo ICS RADIO_NOTE_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
then after flashing boot into your rom and follow these instructions exactly (note: after pressing perso shaf256 off I had to press back twice instead of once, but then I was back on the network page and could choose [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ):

Can't wait to try this on my Bell Note! I'm going to Florida soon and have been procrastinating on getting the phone unlocked...
Score one for procastination!
I was surprised when it actually worked... I got screwed out of an unlock code by an online company (only 8 bucks but still) so when I saw the t989 modem and thread about free unlock for their phone (using the same modem you can flash on ours) I had to try it! I flashed a rogers radio afterward and the unlock stayed also.
Thanks for posting! I'll definitely be trying this out when my Note arrives on Saturday.
Worked perfectly!
I am impressed! I worked like a charm in the very first try! I used a AT&T Galaxy Note I717 with stock ROM (I717UCLF6, kernel 3.0.8). The best part is that later I flashed another ROM (Padawan) and it remained unlocked. Did a couple of phone calls and it is working great! Thank you so much! :victory:
you're quite welcome guys! Figured I had to share the wealth on this one and hopefully save some users some cash and/or getting scammed by too good to be true unlock code site "deals".
Got my note unlocked for $3 but I will pass this method on.
Thanks.

The Note has been out for a while. Is there any reason not to simply call ATT (or whatever carrier you have) and ask them for the unlock code? Don't get me wrong. If this method is safe and if it works, then thank you for sharing.
can anyone verify this does work on at&t? and do we just reflash an at&t modem after its done?
thanks

Just curious, where did you get yours unlocked for $3. I'll use it as a last resort. I plan on web chatting with ATT first and try my luck that way. I don't have cell service with them, but I do have home phone service.

Sorry, Crixley. I think your post is appreciated, and though I wasn't terribly excited at first, I did thank you. I forgot to push the Thanks button but that's taken care of now. I wasn't sold at first that this unlock would work but it appears to be valid for several users. And, being an ATT user for many years, I can get my unlock with a simple phone call. However, I see your post as very valuable for many others. So, THANKS!
According to Paul O'brien (who from what I understand is a pretty solid source) AT&T has locked down the One's bootloader, like it did with the One X. Apparently that turned out to be a huge mess. Was totally planning on getting this, now I'm strongly reconsidering...

I've been on the One X forums from just about the start, and I'm not sure I would call it a "huge mess". A bootloader unlock method was discovered and posted by an XDA dev a little over 2 weeks after the device was released.
What turned out to be a bit more of a mess, is that root was needed to get the bootloader unlock, and HTC kept patching the existing root exploit with every firmware update.
This is indeed disappointing. But I won't believe it 100% until the phone is actually released, and people try to unlock the bootloader. Even then, the phone will be a popular one, and I have faith that the devs here will crack it.

To the OP.. Where have you been lately? this isn't no surprise to anyone that the phone has a lock bootloader
And to all of you buying the dev edition, whats the point of a unlock bootloader if you don't have s-off?

Really though, the amount of modders who need SOFF to do what they want is like less than 5% of the mod community. Root typically handles most issues. Unlocked bootloader is just that barrier above root.
Though, I'm kind of mad that HTC isn't sticking it to ATT on this and telling them to bugger off. Tmobiles is unlocked...

If I read correctly, someone stated that the cid partition was write protected on the one
So since supercid was how we unlocked the boot loader it may be a bit more difficult on the one

I don't know much about the typical bootloader unlocking methods, but saw this recent article about unlocking newer Qualcomm-based Motorola phones. Not that this method will work on the AT&T One, but hopefully a similar method can be found if none of the current tricks work.

My comment had to do more with informing the previous poster what actually happened on the One X (that he seemed to mostly only know about 2nd hand), rather than speculating on what HTC has done on this upcoming phone. As we know, HTC is a tricky bugger, and I won't even begin to try to guess what security enhancements they have up their sleeve this time around!

You can root, install custom recovery, and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader.
S-off allows some other things, such as modding hboot, and flashing radios. But its not needed for flashing custom ROMs.
you can already unlock the bootloader+root etc..

Aha! gotcha, Well. I tried to order the Dev edition but it got out of stock.. so i have no choice but to get one from ATT and hope for the best : D
Yeah you can flash roms etc..
But who wants to manually flash the kernel every time you want to update a rom?
I would like to just put my rom on my phone and flash it. Simple as that
Regardless this is XDA and i trust the devs here will do something to get AT&T users rooted.
mine will be going back so fast if its not unlockable
Sprint and tmobile versions are unlockable
There is no surprise about ATT locking the boot loader. Why do you think HTC is selling a developer edition that is using ATT bands. They solved it because there are a few of us who root our phones etc. Most people who buy phones don't do any of this XDA stuff
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I see it this way, with the $100 rebate and the HDMI device I am getting from HTC and ATT the one will be pretty much free. I am switching from Sprint which I had originally switched to with hopes of buying the Nexus 4. Since they stopped doing Nexus on CDMA this is my move back. The One will turn into a backup phone and the next Nexus will become my main. If a Nexus doesn't come out in the next 4 months I'll just buy a Nexus 4 for now. I'll just never do OTAs on the One until a root is found or just sell the thing when I get a Nexus.
Btw, who is this Steven Bell guy? Does he have an HTC One from ATT that he tried to unlock?
Im glad i got the dev edition. I canceled ATT pre order day after i ordered. My Dev edition says backorder now but says shipment scheduled Tomorrow the 10th.
Either some lazy people here.. Or trolls.. It only takes an additional few seconds to flash a kernel if you need it. Those few seconds certainly wouldn't keep me from owning this device. This phone looks like it'll have a lot of Dev presence. S-off might not be far off. :victory:
I dont know who Steve bell is (guy paul obrien quoted) And how he would know The ATT is locked since its not out yet. I guess he's credible somewhat if Paul is repeating it.
Hmmm....im really starting to second guess this phone....im confused why att locks down HTC phones but not other android phones like Samsung? Sorry really new to HTC phones....

Hello Out There!
My Amaze 4G is rooted and bootloader unlocked. Running CM 10.1 and now I have a SIM card unlock code the phone will not accept, I'm assuming because it's rooted. I'd like to take it off T-Mo and move to AT&T occasionally for coverage reasons in places I frequent like the VA Hospital in Louisville, KY. I'm trying to reflash a stock ROM and then try the unlock code again. I have a good, activated AT&T SIM card and the unlock code direct from T-Mo.
Any thoughts? Think it'll help by flashing a stock ROM?
Thanks, folks!

Yeah stock roms are going to work better than AOSP roms when using unlock codes.
Just download arhd or fireRom or something stock and then try the code again. It should work.

hello,
I converted my tmobile htc one into a google play edition a few days ago and for the most part i have no complaints. however, a few days ago i noticed that i wasnt able to pick up an lte signal. I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm on the southern california area(riverside) is the lte down or something. it was working perfectly a few days after i converted my one to the GPe so i don't think this could be a problem. I was thinking of running an RUU back to stock to try and see but i dont know what to do. Any ideas??
Do you still have the T-Mobile radio, or is it now switched to the GP radio firmware?

Good question. Though I'd give a t-mo radio flash a try. It's easy enough to flash back.

You should be able to fast boot it. I'd look for a good guide in the HTC One international forums.
I'm rooted w custom recovery, so it's a bit easier for me.
