I am very new to this, but my Droid DNA, that i just got, is giving me troubles with unlocking the bootloader. I am used to samsungs, and HTC's are confusing to me... I just rooted my uncles HTC One S, and that was pretty simple, but this is still mind boggling to me. If you know how to fix this, please PM me. I have tried the SuperCID app, and it doesnt change my MEID, and HTCDev wont work until I unlock the Verizon Bootloader. I've tried HTCDev, but i keep getting the error code 160, MID Not Allowed. Please help me. thank you for any advice you may have.

If you just bought the phone and it has the newest update, you can't unlock or root. There is no method for the new firmware.
smh... doesn't anybody read anymore? I thought it was normal to gather information before diving in to Unlock bootloaders... Guess not.
Sorry to be so harsh but there are a ton of threads here that would have let you know this is not possible
Well, i have been "doing my homework" on this, and i can assure you that i didnt just dive right in, i looked into it and have looked into every possible way to slove my matters, but as you can see, i havent and thats why i am here.

Its a 2 06, is there a way to downgrade the system? Or even just run a cmd to bypass the verizin bootlock? Ive tried the SuperCID app for this, but it seems it doesnt keep the new MEDI. And i have no idea why?

No. SuperCID broke with the 2.04 update. There is no way to downgrade. There is no current alternative.

If I unlocked my bootloader is that enough to get the updates direct from HTC? or do I need to get a unlock code from ATT? or would I have had to buy a unlocked one straight from HTC?
First post! Thanks for starting a stupid question thread!
@ the poster above me, from what I've read so far, any unlocking of the bootloader will disable the OTA HTC updates. But I might have misread, I'm just learning about all this too and have read way too many pages of posts already. I'm sure someone in the know will chime in to confirm.
Now, my turn! I Just switched from iPhone to the HTC one and have really started considering flashing cleanRom 2.5. I have a kindle fire that I managed to root and get jelly bean on, so I'm not a total noob, but I wanna ask a few noob questions. Here goes:
I have spent a long time getting my phone setup the way I like it and when I flash cleanrom, is there a way to carry over the apps and things I've installed? No biggie if not, but I've got some saved game data on here already and some other stuff I'd rather not lose if there was an easy way to save. And is everything working correctly in the cleanrom to where I can still make zoes and use the camera, gallery, etc?
Also, any tips for getting this thing rooted? I was planning on downloading that "noob-proof" toolkit and going from there. I've read about people getting freezes and install issues using twrp, which scares me a bit because I have no idea what that other thing is (starts with a c) that people are using. and I read something Scott said that you should never do a system wipe or you could lose your backup?? I know I used to wipe the system, cache, and something else when I rooted my kindle but I never tried to go back to stock or even look to see if I had a backup file somewhere. maybe if there's a step by step guide you could point me to that I might have missed?
Thanks for the help, I'm glad I joined the forum!

No, unlocking the bootloader won't allow that. If we get s-off then changing the cid and flashing a stock developer edition Rom with a relocked bootloader should allow that if one so desired.
---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
There is no "easy" way perse' to back that stuff up and carry over. There is a way I saw sometime back to root without unlocking the bootloader. Theoretically one could do that and use titanium backup... But I don't really know if it will save your game progress... And you will have to offload your titanium backup data to a computer or something before unlocking the bootloader because it will erase everything. The thing about not wiping system came about because of all the problems people have been having with aroma freezing. Some people seem to have it worse then others but the idea is if aroma screws up over and over you still have an os to boot into. I personally (cross my fingers) have had little trouble with that (maybe 1 freeze or 2 then it runs through all the way). I'd suggest leaving the system folder alone until you know how your phone reacts to aroma installs.

Good to know, would it effect anything if i got a unlock code? Also if i were to reflash the 1.26 RUU could i then grab them using the update in the menu section that is not labled att update?
Can I flash roms from other HTC one carriers?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Not sure about the unlock code but I suspect it would only be a SIM unlock to use on other carriers. Not sure it changes the cid. The other software update your talking about won't grab firmware updates from HTC... There was a software update pushed through that recently for the HTC media thing I read it was so media sharing could be turned on without having mobile hotspot activated.

Root Help
I am having some issues rooting my phone.
I unlocked my bootloader successfully on the HTCdev site
I created a folder on my desktop called android, the folder has the fastboot application and "twrp.img" file
i boot my phone into fastboot (? sorry 100% new to this not sure if i said that correctly)
connect usb cable
command prompt cd desktop\android
then ....android>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then it reads...
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\ANDROID>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: cannot load 'twrp.img': Unknown error
Im not sure what im doing wrong, its probably something very stupid. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Probably a bad download of twrp
I did a back up and want to know if I need to flash the boot img and what I need to get the latest update?

You can also skip the htc process and just soff and use revone to unlock boot loader. head over to htc international and follow vomer's guide to soff if you have never done it. great guide. make sure your hboot is less than 1.54. its under the "one android development" may be a page back, but it is a wonderful guide.
Sweet thank you guys for all the help I've always had galaxy's and am so used to Odin hahah

I had that issue as well, when your copying the token ID you need to make sure you only highlight the characters exactly. I was highlighting just past the last character of the token, like an extra empty space and it gave me problems.

With an avatar like that, there are no limits:laugh:
For real though, it's all up to you and what you want to do. Roms from both will work, flash them at will and see what works best for you. There will be differences in some vs others, radio, firmware, etc..., but it's all good. S-off will give you unlimited opportunities. Happy endeavors.
One more thing. Are root manuals and other guides apply as well. Such as rooting and s off? It's kinda confusing to me. Thanks for the reply.

Unlock is done via www.htcdev.com, and S-Off is done via RR. Just make SURE you use the right version of RumRunner. It MUST match, or you will get into trouble quick. Now, here is the interesting part. You must be unlocked to use Rumrunner, but once you S-Off, you will be locked again. To do certain things you will need to re-run the unlock.bin, and re-unlock. Not a big deal, but just to let you know.

Sorry for the confusing reply....I have not done anything to the phone yet and it is not bricked.
I do not know how to get to boot loader etc. I used to have HTC EVO, back then I used to root I think using some S-Off tool and using some command line method.
Now I have forgotten everything as after EVO switched to Samsung and in samsung I used to root with Odin.
So waiting for someone to provide detailed step by step direction to root for Sprint MAX.
Thank you so much for offering to help though.

No I still have not rooted...I guess I will wait till we get dedicated Sprint-HOM section...In the past I have seen people bricking their phone because they used instruction for ROMs and Radios for GSM version. Also in my experience generally it takes 3-4 months after the release of the phone to get proper root guide.
Are you guys allowed to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev?
