I'm sure it's locked at the moment. But, given time, I'm willing to bet it will be cracked.
Its locked and AT&T wont let you unlock the bootloader of the HTC One. Similar to last year with the HTC One X. This decision may be over turned again though,
I also purchased the unlocked Dev edition, it's only a matter of time before we can find a workaround for At&t's BS.

Your statement sounds like you're stating a fact. How do you know it wont be unlock-able? have any insider info? The X+ that came out after the X was unlock-able from day 1. I canceled the ATT pre order and ordered the dev version to be on the safe side, but fact is nobody knows at this time.

I pre ordered through att and I have faith that it will be able to be unlocked with time if it isn't able to immediately through the dev site. I hope.
when i got my oneXL it was locked down and it quickly became unlocked i have no dought the same will happen with the htcone
Well this sucks, coming from sprint and had no idea that att doesn't allow htcdev.... Not sure what to do about my preorder or even getting this phone now.

I'm thinking that with the $100 card I'll get from HTC I'll just get a Nexus 4 or wait for Google I/O and get the 5(whatever it will be called). The One can be my backup phone and if it ever gets a root hack I'll do it then.
So my question is if it is locked will we still be able to say at least root the phone from day one? Atm I'm more concerned with root vs roms

Nobody can answer that question yet. A root exploit will need to be found (or some way to unlock the bootloader without root). But nobody is going to put the work in, until the AT&T version is released (since all other versions can be bootloader unlocked).

From what I understand.. you need to unlock to root. I'm also more concerned with just rooting vs roms.

Incorrect. 2 different perm root exploits, and 1 temp root were found on the One X so far (HTC kept patching the root exploit with each new OTA, so devs kept finding other methods).

Thanks for correcting me. I'm jumping from an international SGS2 so I've been trying to aggregate information based on the One X. Definitely a much more difficult process it appears.

I fact, the exact opposite of what you said is the case on the AT&T One X. You actually need root (at least temp root) before you can unlock the bootloader. There might be some way (exploit) to unlock the bootloader without root. But no such method had been found yet.

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.

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....

Before you get too excited, though, HTC's affirmed to us that AT&T's One will not be supported by the HTCdev unlock service, which will effectively render its bootloader untouchable. As for the current discrepancy, one might speculate that the phone's identifier hasn't yet been blocked on the HTCdev site -- something that'd likely be resolved before the phone becomes officially available through retail channels this Friday.

Hmm, still odd that they wouldn't have blocked it right when they started pre-orders (what would be the point of allowing it?).
Now I don't know if I should unlock the bootloader as soon as I get it or not. I don't want those Sense apps to be removed during the unlocking process. I haven't checked, is there a way to get them back? (I think it's the calculator, sound recorder, notes, etc).

You can get your unlock token through HTCdev and you can save it. Once you have a valid token for your phone you will always be able to unlock. You lose the apps after you use the token. Just save the token if you dont want to lose those apps. A custom rom should have the apps though.

How? It wants all the shell information for the identifier. If you don't have the phone, you don't have the identifier, right?
If I unlock the bootloader tomorrow, that means I lose the HTC Warranty, since they know the phone was unlocked. But does that also mean I lose the AT&T warranty? Is there a way they can tell if the phone is completely dead.

Sorry if this has been answered before but can HTC reverse the bootloader unlock remotely or via a future update? Thanks.
Once you have an unlock code you can unlock. HTC probably could reverse it with a forced update but they would be completely stupid to do it. I've never heard of them relocking an unlocked device

Yeah i understand the frustration with the locked boot loader.. No Aosp Roms is fine with me but no kernels sucks .. I should have researched a little more before buying this phone but i only paid $185 for it two months ago so its not a big deal . I can still sell for a profit it i decide to get a different phone...Might check out the g2 but will probably end up with GS5
Would it be possible to flash a stock (original from HTC - for example the 32gb unlocked rom) on a At&t HTC One without rooting?
My company uses Good Enterprise and it won't work on a rooted phone so I'm debating on getting the At&t HTC One (I'm up for an update and can get it for 199) or just get the unlocked version from HTC?
At&t takes FOREVER with updates and I just don't want to deal with that again (possibly wait 5-6 months before At&t releases 4.2.2)

again, at the end of the day, Good Enterprises does a quick check to make sure the phone is not rooted, so no matter what i do, the phone cannot be rooted. if i have to root, flash something which results in the phone going back to non-rooted, that's fine, i just want to understand what's needed before i get started
edit:
can't i flash the stock rom which would have come on the unlocked htc one if i had just gotten that instead?
I'm beginning to lose hope that the bootloader is going to be unlocked. Not because the devs here aren't fantastic - they are undoubtedly incredible. But based on my prior experiences with locked phones, this one seems to be unusually challenging. So what do folks think the odds are at this point?
PS: Forgive me if this belongs in another thread but I figured it's less about the process or the bounty and more about likelihood....

I'm not holding my breath. But it's reasonable that something may be found along the way by accident or by leak..

the odds are exactly 50/50
scientific fact.
lol for real though, I may be going to the HTC One, if the boot loader isn't unlocked in a couple months.
I would prefer a One Max IF you can unlock the bootloader on HTC's site.
I'm already trying to trade my S4 for a Note 2. Little patience I have. Which leads me to my next question... Does anybody know if the Note 2 is a nightmare or have the Dev's got that one figured out?

I owned one before the s4. No problems unlocking bootloader etc on the note 2. Everything was pretty stable as well as far as aosp roms.

How long you going to give it? I'm sure as soon as I trade back they will crack it!

I came from the note 2, development for the note 2 is not as active as the s4 but there is development.

I currently plan on getting the note 3. Not stopping using the gs4, just having the ability to go big when I feel like it. :good:
That and to try to start some projects for it. Always fun to have projects!

Wasn't the HTC DNA blocked from being unlocked after a vzw update? If the one is unlockable then I'd gladly switch.

The odds are the same as finding a way to install a rom on the me7 update

I doubt rooting will ever be gone, but custom recoveries are probably going to be a thing of the past

Well, didn't the guy from Cyanogen Mod make a G+ post a week or two ago, talking about trying to move Cyanogen mod to not requiring root access? https://plus.google.com/100275307499530023476/posts/BDVgeKMWaf4

He did, and from what I got out of it he sees the evolution going that way. It would be nice to have CM without a custom bootloader.

Maybe I'm just a noob but how would that work?
I think it is going to be the only solution going forward. I don't see any of the manufacturers or providers easing back on locking down these devices. If anything they will get tighter.

I am not totally sure, but I felt the CM team was indicating something in the way Google was implementing security and the code that really allows things to be done without the intrusion of root. I am not a developer and likely never would acquire the skills to be more than a guinea pig for them (don't mind) and I learned a lot from folks here especially with my HTC One DE which was a rockin device. I just wished AT&T service was better in my area and I could live with it. Some day I will likely try them again but I just can't do it right now. The big reason I did was to get unlocked phones, but given the sheer lack of LTE for US on the international phones its clear the OEM's are NOT making global phones on LTE today. It could be 10 years before we truly see global LTE phones.
Personalty, It's not about CM to me, I wasn't full access to my phone, if I have HTC I was S-OFF, if this phone I was the boot loader unlock.
Things take time and money, check the bounty, who knows for all I know they have a boot loader unlock and are waiting for it to hit $10G or some other number.
It's hard to say really. But I hope that Verizon still allows their HTC phone to at least get HTC -Dev unlock to allow custom recovery and ROM-Ming, and as for Samsung, if a Dev. edition is the only option, I will buy the phone for at Verizon (whatever one I can sell for the most on Swappa), sell it, make about enough money to buy the Dev. edition at only $200 after selling the device.
Just some ranting, sorry.
