I know many of you guys have years of experience in programming and such. I am in no way trying to say that i know anything cause i don't. Would it be possible to design a device similar to the XTC Clip for the HTC phones which uses the sim card slot and a gold card to unlock the simlock and bootloader on HTC phones. Has anyone tried to make something like this??? Does anyone even know how that thing works?
imo the only way to unlock the bootloader if there was a system engineer leak (aka pudding for atrix, photon etc) for the RAZR. But I dont know if people are searching for it? because u need to have the cheesecake app and check from time to time

Hey guys, just got my EVO today and I have a few questions.. to use this tool, must I use the root method in development which goes through HTCdev.com? If so, does this blacklist my phone at HTC automatically? If that is the case, whats the purpose of the tool? Also, if I do this and return my phone within 14 days will I be unable to return it because I went through the procedure?
I really want to try some custom ROMS, I love the phone stock but the inability for the browsers to keep pages loaded when you multitask is just killing me. This is my one and only complaint about this phone.
You don't have to run the htcdev unlock to run lazy panda. Without knowing exactly how this exploit works, its hard to say whether HTC knows you've unlocked your bootloader with this. I'd guess no, but again, I'm not sure exactly how this works. I'm sure some of the smarter people around here could write you a book though.
I've read a few stories of people swapping HTC unlocked Evos through Sprint stores though, so I don't know if I'd worry too much about the voided warranty. I know I haven't.

You don't need to be HTC Dev unlocked, run this first and then run LazyPanda and you should be fine:

Make sure you read through the entire s-off thread. I am not going to risk soft bricking my phone until they release a fix for why some people are getting stuck at a black screen in download mode. I assume their original script will be updated to prevent that from occurring in the future.
Just make sure you read up on it and accept the risk it comes with. People install drivers by all sorts of different methods (HTC Sync, through device manager, through a stand alone installer...etc) and I am guessing the way some people installed drivers is why the issues are happening since a couple different drivers need to be installed depending on which mode your phone is in and I wouldn't be surprised if the correct drivers don;t get installed if you use certain methods but I'm probably wrong.
The only reason I want s-off is because we can get rid of that red text now on boot up but I don't want to deal with unbricking if I am one of the unlucky people.
Hi xda community,
I was wondering, given I cannot find any straightforward thread about this, I decided to create one. If you know if any, please feel free to point me there.
Long story short, my HTC EVO 3D was unlocked and rooted (4ext) S-ON with LeeDrOiD, and all was working smooth. Unfortunately, it started having this strange issue that if I pushed close to the antenna/camera it would turn off, and would turn on just after some time.
Sent it for repair after flashing back the original rom and relocking, got it back with another motherboard.
Now, HTCDEV unlock code won't unlock it any longer, and HTCDEV support are just a bunch of retards who have no idea what a smartphone looks like (and I really can't say I got patience with callcenters that just bounce you back and forth with emails that carry nothing but air).
I got the ICS upgrade then when it came out, although I must say I really wasn't that much eager about it, but it was so annoying that I let it go through. I find it to be very bugged in a lot of departments and very unstable, and was wondering if in the meanwhile someone had found another way to unlock this device aside using the HTCdev site (so I might try King Cobra's or some other ICS cooked roms).
Any guesses? Personally, I have to say, I'm guessing I'm never gonna get another HTC in my entire life. I had HTC from the Diamond 1 phone, but this stupid policy they have now really ticked me off, and to "ensure unlock" but to deny it in such childish ways definetly isn't something I expect from an Enterprise such as them. Guess SAMSUNG, or NOKIA with WM8 will serve my needs better...
For the time being though, if anyone of you guys had any insight...
HBOOT is 1.53.0007
S-ON
Stock Rom and all the Jazz
(obv locked ).
Thank you very much!

Offcourse it won't unlock with the same code... you basically got a whole new device. follow all the steps on the htcdev site again and you'll be unlocked.
I find the customer service of htc to be just fine.

I obviously used another code generated from HTCdev website...
Just to hint you... It does happen EVERYTIME they change your motherboard (and the HTC support is full of retards).

So what is Bump? I understand its a "bootloader workaround", but i just dont see how it works? If you were to boot into the bootloader, would it say ***UNLOCKED*** or ***LOCKED***? I really don't get it, how do you simply bypass it? lol, is it worse than a full unlock? If so, then how? Someone explain this to me, I cannot find anything on Google and the lack of information is driving me insane considering I'm going to be doing this tomorrow and usually know exactly what I'm getting into.
To rant on a bit more....I really just don't understand it, I'm big on my personal thought of how my phone is so the potential of it being "LOCKED" still really disturbs me for unknown reasons. But I realize that isn't really the important thing, still just wanna know what it is. I also don't understand how you can do things and still have a locked bootloader to begin with, so if someone could explain that to me (in the case its still locked), that would be fantabatastical!

Since LG and Verizon both lock their bootloaders there is no "Official" way to unlock the bootloader. You can't even boot to bootloader. There is just no such thing. Bump is a work around to get TWRP installed without unlocking the bootloader.

I found the thread for the devs and now I understand it, basically allows you to sign images that the BL will allow, so its pretty much just as good as a BL unlock. Neat!
Hello guys,
I hope someone can help me.
My problem is:
I purchased a pre-used htc one m9 prime camera edition phone.
It was used abroad as a business phone, and mobile networks or simcards of my country, Latvia, cant be used on it.
I read that I can debrand the phone by changing it's cid, so I did. To do so I paid those 25$ dollars to get S-OFF with the sunshine app.
Now my phone is android 6, s-off, bootloader unlocked, super cid, with twrp custom recovery, all that works well.
I flashed stock android 6.0 rom over android 6.0 that I already had, I used these files,
only files I found for this phone model:
https://mega.nz/#F!MNZjhTbY!TBD3jAMDa88PxmqEOLX9nQ!oYhkBCpB
Since it's Europe's rom, hoped that it would reinstall radio and I could insert my sim and connect to local networks,
but after all that still there is no service when I boot up the phone.
So, have I wasted my money on that useless sunshine app and this phone on which there isn't even any custom
rom development, and on which firmwares are rare to find? Or am I doing something wrong?
In download mode it says, radio-unknown, so I think radio hasn't been replaced still,
if I could find a 5.0 lollipop rom, I could flash it and it would replace marshmallow 6.0 modem,
but I can't find it anywhere.
Or is this some kind of sim lock that can't be solved without paying for some sim unlock code? I thought sunshine app would be enough.
I don't want to give up yet after all the time and money I invested in this phone.
I attach some screens of my bootloader and download mode.
Any help is much appreciated ^_^)/
Thanks in advance!
Alright, been fighting with it with no success. I flashed wwe marshmallow rom, on it I got few otas,
I got excited and hoped it would fix the mobile network issue, but they didn't fix the unknown radio issue at all.
Tried few others I could find for free.
Only other rom I had hopes for that I could download for free for my phone was lollipop for asia region,
but I cant install it even with super cid, s-off and unlocked bootloader.
For all other lp roms you have to pay. Pay for s-off, pay for sim unlock, pay for stock rom, yaaay htc is awesome.
My conclusion, super cid is a big fat lie and no, nobody with super cid can install roms from any region as I read here in this forum, you cant even install asia rom over eur device, speaking with first hand experience.
so anyone who reads this thread and thinks they can easily fix mobile network issues on htc phones, unlock carriers and do miracles with s-off,
please don't unlock s-off, dont waste your money, you wont get anywhere, you wont be able to do anything, at least for this phone model.
Htc phones are a big ripoff, I will never buy any htc phone again, you have to pay for everything, even to get stock roms! o_0 and nobody mysteriously on whole internet doesn't have them anymore, except the guys who sell them.
And any developer who develops a rom for any htc one phone with their s-off scam is kind a dumb since end users cant flash their dumb roms without paying a bunch of cash to a party app to get their phone s-off.
How the community is even supporting this nonsense! You have to be a cow if you think its normal and if you support this thief system.
Anyway, now I am about to try and flash a rom from a different phone, form htc one m9+ since it has the same mtk chipset as my htc one m9 prime camera edition I think it should work.
Or anyone advises me not to? Thanks
But who cares if it bricks it.
I thought this is a pro master forum, with people who could help, but obviously everyone here in an amateur,
with not even a single tip, as always, users have to fight alone~
If I will find a solution, I will try to update this thread for those who are in need.
But after all the time and money this htc phone stolen from me, weary I am and ready to throw it out in the garbage,
thats what I suggest anyone with htc phone, just throw them out. So dont have high hopes, your device may just be unrecoverable, dont waste your own time with it, learn from me.
Hi, @elviss_f ! Did you find any solutions for your problem? I have an HTC M9e and I'm thinking to s-off it. But, since it has a Taiwan firmware on it, I'm afraid that the same problem will appear when I install an European firmware. Any advice will be very useful. Thank you!

Hello.
I have not found the solution. I have searched many forums asked help to russian at 4pda,
spent weeks trying to fix it with roms I found, but this problem never disappears.
If you will buy s-off from sunshine app you will really regret it, because you wont
be able to use it for anything, there are no custom roms for m9e or m9s. And you wont be able to fix it by yourself. You better spend 25$ on something more worthy. Don't do the same mistake as I did.
As I understood, modem reainstall can't fix it, and roms you flash dont really even overflash modems. Rolling back to stock doesnt help either.
For this device, rom of different region wont allow you to use other carriers.
Don't waste your time and nerves on this, if you really wanna fix it,
I guess only way is to bring it to service center, and they will do it for you for about 45euros, that's very expensive and is't worth it. There are many much better phones to use.
Now I am selling the phone and got myself an android nokia 6, very happy with it.
You should get a different phone too.
Hope it helps.
