So the developer version comes S-Off. But that is an AT&T phone. Not good on T-Mobile frequencies.
HTC Dev just unlocks the bootloader, still S-On.
Do any of you believe there will be a way to get S-Off on our non dev phones??
My last phone was the Sensation, S-Off was possible as long as you didn't use HTC Dev yet, well, back when I did it. I've skipped a couple of generations of HTC phones since then. Are there any indications from some of the more recent HTC's that S-Off is still a possibility without the need of the developer phone??
No phone is s-off.

Previous HTC Devices using Snapdragon processors were S-Off'd (I.e. U.S version of last years flagship whereas the international Tegra 3 never achieved S-Off). The developer edition is S-ON btw, AT&T doesn't get ALL the good things

The ATT developer phone is not S-Off! It is unlocked bootloader and carrier only and no bloatware. You can do that yourself and not pay the extra price. It does have 64gb however but doesn't work on the t-mobile lte bands I believe. S-Off is not necessarily needed with TWRP Dumlock from what I understand.

It stupidly supports LTE on T-Mobile (AWS) frequency but doesn't support HSPA on AWS so no 3G/"4G" if you aren't in a 1900 refarm market. Kind of stupid planning on HTC's part... Especially since voice exclusively goes over AWS (HSPA) in areas that T-Mobile doesn't have 1900 licenses.
Is there really a point to S-OFF anymore? I haven't had an HTC since the Sensation either so I'm not sure about HTC developments, I went to Sammy.

Stupid unless there is a hardware difference between the T-Mobile and ATT radios. I don't think there is, but it is possible. People are assuming it is just firmware that can be flashed with a ROM.
As to S-Off, my last phone was an Amaze, and it required using a wire to short two places together under the battery cover. From what I have read, there are several HTC phones like that. But there is no way to get to those points in a One.

Without S-Off, it seems like the Root System is locked down. AdAway wont stick after reboot. And Busybox isn't able to install its binaries. When I try to convert Busybox as a system app, the phone just reboots. Also, when I try to delete something in the Root System (like the loud T-Mobile bootanimation sound), it causes a reboot also.
My last HTC phone was a G2/DZ and we had s-off via gfree method using command prompt which was very annoying. So hopefully we can get s-off one day. If not, then the next Nexus (5?) will be my next phone in fall/winter. And yes, I will still keep my H1. Its a very nice phone overall.
EDIT: I just read that a custom rom that allows system write will work. I guess stock carrier H1 roms are kinda locked down with system write issues. Will backup my current rom and test one of the International ROMs (even tho I heard about the possible radio/RIL+signal issues).

They used an MSM8260A chip which is an MSM8960 that doesn't support LTE in the T-Mobile S3. No hope for us unfortunately.
We will get soff eventually just wait. It's tooooooo early to be expecting that. Just be glad we have roms and all after the phone being out for only about a month worldwide.
I came from the quickly forgotten amaze and am very surprised over the amount of development this phone already has!

I am on my HTC DNA s-off and the only thing we benefited from for having s-off is when you flash a custom kernel you don't have to fastboot flash the boot.img separately using a cmd prompt. Other than that it wasn't beneficial too much. It also opened the gates to brick your device easily. It will not hender Rom or custom kernel development. And the kernel is what allows you to write/delete system files. So once we see some kernel developments that allows the r/w to the system the issues where changes doesn't stick after reboot will be eliminated.

Yea same for the EVO LTE - S-Off is def convenient and I would do it regardless, but if you were worried about messing up it's not a deal breaker to be s-on.
Seeing that S-OFF text on the bootloader screen does give me a weird warm and fuzzy feeling though

i just got the rogers version of the htc evo 3d and i want to unlock it so it works with any carrier. How do I do this? Whats the best way to do this and is it free or will i have to pay? Any help is appreciated thanks.
You should try your luck in the GSM section
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have a Rogers Evo, unlocked, go here: http://www.mobifree.ca/
costs $10, just need to provide them your IMEI.
Got mine in a few hours.
*edit
holy necrobump
CellUnlocker worked for me
I have a Rogers Evo 3D too and I got it unlocked through cellunlocker dot net for ~$8. Just as amace04 did, I provided my IMEI and within an hour and a half they sent me the code which it seemed to work without a hitch (haven't had a chance to test the data side of it). I will pass back here and update this, after I test it properly in a few weeks.
As promised I am checking back in. I am in Jamaica using the phone which was unlocked from Rogers. So far I have used it with SIM cards from 2 mobile networks here and everything works perfectly (both voice and data). My only complaint which has nothing to do with phone or unlocking service is that 3G coverage outside of the major cities is sparse.

Hmmm I thought it was S-OFF because I was rooted, I was tired when I rooted my phone (Did Taxes earlier that night).
I now notice that it S-ON. How do you S-OFF? Do you need a wire (Like I remember flashing the firmware on my Nintendo DS having to physically complete a circuit I suppose enabled write access)?

That method doesn't seem to need a wire, but I already have Revolutionary and see no option for S-OFF. It also mentions a beta key, but I never needed one to download Revolutionary, TBH I don't even remember where I got it from.

Hey all!
Sorry if this has been asked before (I've seen posts about it but no straight answers on the issue).
I have a brand new T-Mobile Amaze and a brand new Wind Mobile Amaze. Long story about why!
I can't decide which to keep. I like the fact that Winds is unbranded. I would probably like to use the wifi calling feature on the T-Mobile one when I visit the US (I spend 5 months in the US and the rest of the year in Canada). I don't think I want to root this phone....am undecided right now. The thing that bothers me though, is the camera program on the Wind Mobile version. It's completely different and I like the T-Mobile one better. If I DID decide to root, could I get the T-mobile camera on the Wind one? And then, how would wifi calling work?
Sorry, I'm a newb who is not savvy about any of this stuff....
Any help would be appreciated
Also, I read something a while back, that the bands are different between the two versions. Is this true?
Thanks in advance! CHEERS!
I'm no pro and please correct me anyone if i'm wrong but yes. the bands are different, which is why there are different RUU's for the telus, tmos, wind etc amazes.
I'm pretty sure if you kept your wind mobile one and then followed the procedure to root the device, you'll be able to use the ROM's that we have on XDA and then in my opinion that would give you the camera from the T-mobile one (most likely unless it's been changed) - but yeah don't hold me 100% accountable for this.
You can flash a T-Mobile based ROM onto the WIND's Amaze. With this, you will get the camera interface from the T-Mobile Amaze. I'm not sure about WiFi calling since I never use it - actually I don't even know if WIND has WiFi calling on their network.
Keep the t mobile one, wind one is not yet compatible with the kernels supplied by custom ROMs for now. Means anything with faux kernel
I know it says compatible with all the htc amaze on the kernel page but it is not for the Wind
Thanks for the replies
Hmmmm, I may think about rooting after all....I am looking at both the T-Mobile and the Wind site....
T-Mobile Amaze:
850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100);UMTS: Band V (850)
Wind Amaze:
3G (UMTS/HSPA) AWS 1700/2100 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) 850/1900/900/1800
They look like the same bands to me. (??) I really like the unbranded Wind one. I'm not sure if I would ever use wifi calling when I had the phone in the US. Could I potentially add the T-Mobile wifi calling to a rooted Wind Amaze do you think?
Thanks so much once again. Sorry for the dummy questions....!
Wind's Amaze bands are (from the box, and I have verified that I could connect to both T-mobile and AT&T bands while in the states):
HSPA 850/1700/1900/2100.
GSM 850/900/1800/1900.
Kernels from Faux do work on the Wind Amaze (at least, they did for me when I was running custom).

Your videos work fine after? camera still work???? maybe you have a slightly different variant, but recent batch seems to be incompatible.
Hmmm, now I REALLY don't know what to do! I guess I will keep the T-Mobile one since I have already been tinkering with it...that keeps the Wind Mobile one brand new so I can resell it! I suppose I can be a girly girl and put some swarovski crytals over the darned T-Mobile branding!
Now, next step is to find out how to get the wifi hotspot working. Have been reading up on this. May be easier just to root it.
If I unlock it and use it on Wind, would the wifi hotspot work without rooting it?
Thanks again everyone
if i was you i would keep the wind one ... why? because the tmobile branding is a HUGE turnoff when you are looking at your screen (sorry americans!) They are generally the same device just with no branding, you could push an apk to your system folder or apps cant remember and it should work as long as you have a t-mobile sim card. In canada we do not have wifi calling so it wouldnt working here (duh!) Good luck with your pick! what i would suggest be the breaking point is check if either device has S-OFF if it does you could sell it to a developer (possible a little cheaper so they can start making roms and try to achieve s-off in all other devices.) Good luck with your pick, basically theyre both the same device.

Heya!
Ok, so they are the same device exactly....hmmm. So, wifi calling isn't as a big deal as the camera software. I want to make sure I could for SURE have the T-Mobile Camera on the Wind phone. And if I root the Wind one, I am assuming the start up animation can be changed. The Wind one is lame. T-Mobile one is much better;-)
I am not sure what S-Off is....but can you tell me how to check for that?
Thanks a bunch!

you have to boot into bootloader (by removing battery then - pressing volume down and holding it down and then press power button (you should keep pressing both power + volume until you get into bootloader.) if you install a custom rom like bulletproof or sense 3.5 you will get The new Camera APK and bulletproof has wifi calling included good luck!
I don't know why people keep saying that T-Mobile and Wind are different bands.
You do realize that the reason why Wind doesn't get different phones from T-Mobile is because they use the same bands, right?
If the phone doesn't work on T-Mobile's standard 3g+ network (AWS) it won't work on Wind, and vice-versa.
The only thing you need to worry about it is it being sim-unlocked.
The different RUUs only exist because of carrier customization and locking. Wind's Amaze RUU is pretty much stock without the extra bloat of T-Mobile Apps. But of course, the T-Mobile RUU also has the updated camera function, unlike Wind's.
Also, that's the first I've heard about Wind Amaze's having problems with faux's kernel. FYI my Wind Amaze's camera works fine on faux's latest kernel and NRG's Energy ROM (and xboarder's when I used his). However, mine was manufactured in November, so YMMV.
Actually youre a bit wrong on that, T-Mobile does support 2G network so any phone with 2G bands (such as iphone or galaxy note) will work on T-Mobile Network with 2G Internet Speeds. And the RUUs are made for the carrier specific device so if you want to revert stock always use ur own carriers RUU!
I know, that's why I mentioned the standard 3g+ AWS network. If it doesn't work on the 3g network on T-mobile, it won't work on Wind's Home network which uses the same 1700/2100 band (also why people tend to buy T-mobile phones and use them on Wind's network).
And yes, reverting to stock using the same RUU is a good idea. However, from my experience with Motorola's SBFs, they are interchangable among the same device. Because Wind didn't have a publicly leaked SBF, we've been using other carrier's SBFs without problems when reverting to "near" stock.

i still dont know why tmobile version is the only one that have all those camera features, the wind version of the Amaze have the old camera UI like the sensation does, but im sure there should be a flashable zip for the camera like tmobile amaze version is.
anyone that had the sensation 4g knows what im talking about
i dont know if the same flash zip file from the sensation works or not, im not a pro but i figure it wont cause its made to work with the sensation,
another thing guys, they have a blueray feature for the camera when recording, you guys think it can be port over to the amaze?
If you rooted your phone, I have the tmo camera apk for you.

Hi all! First post here, I've read through pages and pages of forum posts looking for an answer but haven't found one so I thought I would ask a quick question.
I have an AT&T One that I recently unlocked, I then left AT&T for T-Mobile and am having issues with MMS sending/receiving and Mobile Hot spot. Everything else is functionality. T-Mobile says they can't help, HTC says they can't help.
As a result I was thinking I flashing it with a T-Mobile ROM.
Do you think it will help?
I wanted to confirm before I start digging more into how to flash it.
Thanks in advance,

you can convert your phone to a t-mobile one software wise but you'll always be missing the t-mobile bands that the at&t version does not support.
the step to complete conversion are
s-off
change MID and CID to t-mobiles
flash t-mobile RUU
then you'll have a t-mobile phone with no AWS and a couple missing radio bands possibly no LTE or 3G

Not sure why you are trying, as the previous poster mentioned. You will have some service. But AWS bands as well as LTE are your data and they will not work. So all you will be able to do is send and receive text and make calls.

Give firewater a try instead. If you are on the new HBOOT I couldn't get rumrunner to kick through although it should work. Firewater doesn't rely on a bunch of reboots.

Do you think it will help?
I wanted to confirm before I start digging more into how to flash it.
Thanks in advance,

I just got an used/new HTC One from ebay. The cellphone came with stock At&t, locked, unrooted. I first unlocked the boatloader via HTCDev, then installed TWRP. Used the cellphone with T-Mobile and no issues, except the mms. Then decided to install ViperOne 6.1.0. and it fixed everything, I was able to send/receive mms, plus all additonal extras, hotspot, fully customize, etc. Unfortunately, I loved the way that Blinkfeed transition/scrol;ing had on the At&t rom and the fact that could have Flickr as widget within blinkfeed as well. So S-off the cellphone usign firewater (no pain) and installed RUU. Once, I had this Rom, I was able to get hotspot by modifying the default.xml, and killed/unistalled at&t blotware. I might just go back to ViperOne, it is a great Rom, I am just a photography phanatic and love having Flickr on Blinkfeed.
I wish was a way to convert my At&t m8 to T-mobile m8 if it's possible is their a step by step guide to do so also if the switch can happen I would like everything to work mms sms and LTE to

Wrong section. But anyways, must be S-OFF, change AT&T CID to T-Mobile CID, flash stock T-Mobile RUU, thats it.

Yup, s-off the phone, change CID, and run the T-Mob RUU to "fully convert" it to a T-Mobile version. The hardware is all the same among GSM M8's, so the only thing that will really make it "AT&T" after the conversion is the stupid logo on back.
I won't supply "step by step" instructions, as doing so is spoon-feeding you the information that is readily available on XDA as long as you are willing to do the research and understand all the processes properly. And is you aren't willing to put in the time, you shouldn't attempt potentially damaging mods to your phone.
There is a guide in the "international" M8 forum section on how to convert to any other carrier version. But again, make sure you fully understand what you are doing.
Also, I've reported the thread to mods to get it moved to Q&A section where it belongs.

Hey guys, sorry to resurrect this old thread but the above steps are not sufficient. I have a brand new AT&T m8 trying to convert to t-mobile. I did all the above and when running the T-Mobile RUU it says my device's Model ID is not supported.
Where can I find what MIDs are supported and what to change it to if that's the right fix?

OK I figured it out. Followed this thread to update the MID to 0P6B13000. But that was definitely a necessary step.

You are correct. In my previous post, I neglected to point out the correct MID is required to run any offiical RUU.

Getting very slow speeds on T-Mobile. Checking APN settings...
AT&T M8 on T-Mobile. S-OFF, ran latest T-Mobile RUU. Flashed Android Revolution 41.0.
Using included T-Mobile LTE apn settings: very slow download speeds. Fast upload, calls, SMS + MMS work fine.
What to check? (also see attachments).
really wondering what's going on here as you can see the phone says it's connected to LTE, fast upload, yet crawling download..
WiFI is fast
EDIT: Now I'm thinking the LTE service just sucks in my area.. going to do some more tests in different places. got 5 MB/s down on 3g only setting.

Agree it may probably be a network side issue. I know T-Mob's LTE network is pretty young, so maybe just working out the kinks.
Did you try to test the speed with a completely "stock T-Mob" setup (after the RUU, before flashing any custom ROM) to make sure there isn't some factor in the "Euro" ROM that doesn't play well with T-Mob's network?
Also, try testing at a few other times of day (if you haven't already). I get greatly varying download speeds on LTE. Everywhere from 4 to 31 Mbps, presumably due to network congestion. But mostly above 14 Mbps or so, and obviously nowhere near what you are seeing.
Hey guys, I'm getting ready to upgrade to the AT&T M9, coming from the AT&T One X (Evita, yes from three years ago). Just looking for some clarification/verification of what I "think" I know regarding phone versions and ROM's to support my ORD.
Q1 - With the M9, the international and AT&T versions are the same hardware, so ROM's from the international forum can be flashed to the AT&T version, correct?
(Not the case with the One X since the international phone was a different model).
Q2 - What are the advantages of converting to the Dev edition? If I can bootloader unlock and S-off the AT&T phone, doesn't it essentially achieve the same purpose?
(Maybe I am missing something here... just curious, as there seems to be a lot of interest/discussion on the dev edition for the M9. Normally, I would just bootloader unlock, s-off, and then flash away - want to make sure I am not overlooking some benefit).
Thanks for any input - it was a lot less options being confined to just one forum with the Evita.

One X (unlocked, s-off)
Currently running KarbonKat 1.2-3
I just got the AT&T One M9. So far its great, my only two complaints are battery life isnt too great, and it heats up pretty fast.
anyway, There really is no difference between the Dev and the ATT one. they both run the same hardware. I achieved unlock through the HTC Dev website, and S-Off through Sunshine. Also, the ATT one can be converted to the international or Dev edition.
Im running Android Revolution HD 5.1 on my ATT M9 perfectly fine rite now much smooth than stock ATT RUU.

A1. Once you s-off yes you can flash International Roms.
A2. The only two advantages to converting to the Developer Edition is.
1. You will get OTA updates from HTC directly not wait until AT&T decides to send them out. So faster OTA updates
2. No Carrier bloatware apps.

I'm going to Italy and wondering if I can put a Italian prepaid sim in the phone and it will work? Or should I flash to the international version? I have converted to the dev version already.
