My 2 are Silver ...and my M8 is Gunmetal
Really looking forward to the Blue One especially after you confirmed hboot 1.55 and rumrunner worked
Did you test your camera in low light ?

Not really. I know the camera sucks already. M8 isn't much better. Hopefully they learn their lesson with the m9. I always like my m7 better than my m8. Not a fan of the on screen buttons. I am praying they bring back the capacitive buttons, if not, i'll stick with this m7 for a while.

Mine was new too. Btw, you could have just s-off'd 1.44 without even flashing a rom and rumrunner will work on stock rom too but glad you got it going. I have flashable 5.12.502.2 at&t firmware if you need it. Twrp 2.8.3.0 is out now too

stock rom
Hello,
Is someone here that stayed with the stock rom ? I just got mine from best but and I barely managed to update it to 4.4.2. sense 5.5 and for that I needed a working at&t sim card in it, without it it would say "software is up to date", really stupid :|
Now it says that it's up to date and no sense 6 so far.
I was wondering if there is someone who has stayed with the stock rom and if he or she has managed to get the sense 6 update ?
Thanks

You can get the OTA to update to sense 6. I would highly recommend you boot loader unlock and soff first but that is up to you.

I agree ...stop the updates while you have hboot 1.55 and use rumrunner to s-off
after that you can install as many updates as you want yourself (without AT&T)

Just saw this deal and had a quick question.
Would I be able to use the AT&T M7 on TMobile after s-off and sim unlock? Probably a stupid question since I'm 99% certain that's correct, but I'd rather not shell out 200 bucks unless I know for certain that there isn't some weird AT&T incompatibility that would prevent full functionality on Tmo.

If you get it sim unlocked, then yes it would work fine. The at&t model is the same model as the developer edition just sim locked. It has all the same bands.

Depends on your location, Where I am any AT&T phone will work on T-Mobile but you never get 4g or LTE
T-Mobile phone use an AWS band that is not on the AT&T version of the One. It would be worth testing before you shell out the money

I believe the DevEd and AT&T variants are pretty much the same, they share the same MID. If that is the case, I have a DevEd running on T-Mobile and I'm getting 4G and LTE without an issue. And with the right configuration I'm also getting T-Mobile's Wi-Fi Calling.

For those of you who may not own a DNA yet, at this time Verizon has mixed stock of older DNA's mixed in with those that have been updated to the current, unlockable system version. To save yourself some trouble until the OTA get's cracked, I am going to show you how to identify quick which version is on the device you are purchasing. This may afford you the opportunity to ask the salesperson to check for an older device. Just remember that as soon as you power it on, it's going to be looking to update. I advise you to come right back here and get your phone unlocked and rooted before it won't allow you to postpone the update any longer.
View attachment 1815045
As you can see circled on the box, without even turning on the device, we can see if the device you're buying shipped with the OTA. If you see the 1.15.605.4, you can let them activate that and then get it home, get it set up and get yourself protected before it updates.

What are you going to do? Wait for a new method?
I posted in the other thread, but I bought one off Craigslist a couple weeks ago with 2.04 installed. I lost my patience this morning and bought one off Swappa that is already rooted and S-Off'd. I will post mine up and try to get the same money, which I should be able to get.
I shouldn't be out any money and if so, just a little bit. It just takes some time obviously.
Did the same thing wiseguy. Funny thing is I was going to buy the same one from Kenyatta on swappa but I bought one for a bit more as it had a wireless charging pad. He took too long to respond about wether the phone was S-Off or not.

1.29 is currently available in some countries. There are links here, or at least in the vanilla HTC One forum for RUUs available for 1.29 now, though what their compatibility is with the T-Mobile version of the phone is, I'm not sure.
Coming at it from a different angle, custom ROMs for the One can have Android 4.2.2 right now, but that means giving up Sense, if that matters to you.
I wouldn't want to root it right now, thanks for the info.
Of course I have to be out of luck.
At 8PM I entered T-mobile and asked a lady if they have HTC One, she said "Yes we do, LTE version.", I said "great", of course. Since they work till 9PM, I wanted to ask the above mentioned question here, before deciding whether to buy it or not.
Finally, about 8:45PM I decide to buy it. Headed straight to T-mobile again, said I wanted to renew my subscription and buy the HTC One. She brings me HTC One SV. After a few attempts to explain her the difference, she said "ahhh, that One! We don't have it, it didn't arrive yet and we don't know when will we get it!".
Turned around and headed home.
Good work HTC
My contract with Sprint is going to be up soon and, sadly, I am moving on to a different device. Although my Photon was a great device the unfulfilled promises from Moto/Sprint and lack of a trouble free ROM above Gingerbread leaves me no other suitable option but to upgrade. Tie that to the fact that I have moved to an area where Sprint service barely exists and my P4G's fate is sealed.
That said, everyone here in the Photon forums will be missed. There are some very talented dev's here that I owe a great amount of Thanks to. Loki, th3bill, jokersax and so many others made it possible to unlock much of my device's potential. If only Moto would have coughed up what they promised the Photon would have truly been a formitable device for anyone to reckon with.
Anyone have suggestions on the best place to list a near mint Photon4G with an unlockable bootloader? I'm sure it could possibly be of some use to a devloper somewhere.
(Mods please don't delete, I am not trying to sell here. Just want to know the best place to list.)

Sounds like a good deal. For me I'm going to Big Red, Sprint has no local service here (only roaming) and everyone else is either more $$ or bad service (did a lot of research). So I gave in and am getting the GS4.

I switched to ATT for the same reasons you're talking about Verizon. I also got the S4 and I LOVE it. It has the best battery life of any phone I have ever had, bar none. I bought two extra batteries and a charger, as I always do when I get a new phone, it's been two months now, and I have yet to use them. One day I got the battery down to 17%, but otherwise, never below 30%, and I do use the phone a lot. I don't miss my Moto phones at all. Never again. Regarding selling your phone, I think they promote swappa around here. You could always use craigslist too. But if you're in a position to consider it, as I was, think about donating to one of the developers. I donated my phone and honestly hope some good has come of it.

For me, I cannot think of a phone I want LESS than this moto phone. They used to have better radios but I don't think that's true anymore. My S4 works everywhere I've needed it. No dropped calls, 4G service that's much better than Sprints service, and we had 4G LTE here in Houston. Step away from the moto addiction, you won't be sorry you did. There is GOOD life without moto, and Punit Soni doesn't need your buisness, trust me on that. That guy has deluded himself about his honesty and ethics, to the point that he doesn't even realize he talks out of both sides of his mouth.
I agree with the sentiments expressed on the development here, and the community that was built. It was the friendliest, most helpful group of people I'd ever been around bar none. I miss that a lot, but I haven't missed the photon for 5 minutes. Well, I kind of missed it while I used the Galaxy Nexus I bought off ebay for six months, that thing had horrible battery life, but otherwise was an equivalent phone. Since I've had the S4, not missed the photon for a minute.
Thanks retailguy, you're the second person that has told me good things about the GS4. Hopefully I'll get the MDK build instead of ME7 when I pick it up this week.
I'm ditching smartphones completely and moving to the Omate TrueSmart. If I'm going to loose Ubuntu for Android functionality I see no reason for me to waste my money on a smartphone.

Most likely. Motorola has built a website to unlock the bootloader. But beware, the moment you use it, your warranty will be voided.

Yep, you're right. Not having Verizon, I forgot about that. Unless someone finds an exploit, the bootloader will stay locked. And considering that no one has found an exploit for the Photon, it's doubtful that anyone will find one for the X. Personally, I believe that's why Motorola never unlocked the photon bootloader, it was their unofficial "test" to see if the community could defeat their security. But, I've also been accused of being a bit paranoid too.
You must be talking about the Photon Q. I remember reading that before it was released. The Photon 4G was put out with an unlockable bootloader. That was the reason I picked one up. Mine runs CM10.2. I really like the features that Cyanogenmod puts into their ROMs. That's why I'm hoping to get the MDK build. If I do CM will be on my GS4 in a matter of hours.
If you are on Verizon or AT&T, expect every phone you buy to be locked down tighter than Fort Knox. To the people looking for the MDK build of the S4, YOU WILL NOT FIND IT. YOUR PHONE WILL BE PERMALOCKED OOB. The turnover was brutally fast, and 99.9% of all new units after the OTA were shipped with ME7 pre-installed. That's for both carriers. Unless you buy used or can verify that it wasn't updated. My friend has the AT&T one, and I keep telling him that I feel his pain haha.

Motorola pushed an update that locked the bootloader. Anyone who had 2.3.4 and accepted that update got a present of a locked bootloader that no one has been able to defeat. My understanding is if you got 2.3.5 from the factory you did not have this problem. Only those who participated in the soak test have locked bootloaders.
You must have a factory 2.3.5 phone, or one that originally had 2.3.4 and was not updated as part of the soak test.

Wow. This is surprising and disappointing, but truthfully, I haven't even thought about unlocking the bootloader on this phone. The stock rom does everything I want it to do, and since it's the most popular Samsung phone out there , it'll probably be supported longer than I care to use it. It will affect what I buy next time, the whole locked bootloader really ticks me off, but c'est la vie. I will survive. At least they didn't lock it during a soak test and take functionality away from me. I stupidly didn't investigate before I bought the phone. Won't do that again...

Could be. My understanding is if you have 2.3.4 you can unlock. If you have 2.3.5 you cannot unlock, regardless of how you got it. Root is still obtainable either way.
I just wanted to let you guys know that I bought a gsm unlocked one max here from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G7...d=1402153639&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1&precache=1
When I powered it up I went into networks I chose at&t as provider and lte works perfectly. I was really surprised because the bands they listed I don't think are at&ts. I was quite surprised. It's way better than using an unlocked Verizon model only getting hspa before like I was. Just thought I would share.

Yep I came from a HTC one and a xperia z ultra. Decided to go to 1 phone. The screen cracking in the pocket was a bit stupid. The phone was to slim and flimsy. A lot of people had problems with warping. I myself found it OK as I never pocketed it lol. The HTC one Max is of a much better build quality as expected.
437 dollars.. Not bad.
Cool..
Looks like I have the developer version too..is a 32 gig, silver one. Is there any way to tell what hardware I have? I'd like to root it, but I suspect not knowing what hardware I have would be a bad thing when it comes to flashing...I don't know which version of TWRP or CWM to use, at least.

As long as you unlock the bootloader - you should be able to root just fine
If you google this: twrp htc one max - you'll see links to XDA Forum threads with information about the recovery that is compatible with your phone...
Also can you please confirm that you're able to get AT&T LTE where you are with the phone that you purchased form Amazon?

Thanks for the reply! I may go ahead and take the plunge.... I know that I'd have to call AT&T and have them provision the IMEI for LTE but that's a whole other issue
Likely not on a developer phone-all I did was put the sim card in and it worked fine. You will have to enter the APN manually, probably, but that should be old hat for a phone geek.
I asked awhile ago if anyone was using the max on att,I have a rom already set up for only att i use on mine...pm if interested
Check mbps!!!!!
I have the amazon htc one max international version and it will work on att but at 3G speeds. It will have LTE at the top right of the screen but you are not getting LTE speeds. When I 1st received the phone had a att sim and checked the speeds 3 to 4 mbps on T-mobile im getting 25 mbps avg reception is spotty. I'm not dropping calls or experiencing buffering issues when streaming music or video like when I was on the att network check your speeds.

They actually list the AT&T LTE bands in the specs, I ordered one so I will check when I receive it..
Confirmed! LTE on AT&T right out of the box...
So does this model get LTE on T-Mobile?
Read through everything including comments/questions/answers and it's a mixture of answers with no real answer.
And if so can someone provide screenshots.....
Are unlock codes from websites such as cellunlocker.net and fastgsm still working? Thinking about getting a T-Mobile S5 for use on AT&T.

Yes. I used one from cellunlocker.net on mine.
What about bootloader T-Mobile didn't update the fw and block it did they?

No, it's still unlocked and will almost surely stay that way.
I can't decide between the s5 or g3
Is there a tmobile s5 twrp? I can't find one in the forums. All I see are methods for root.

So they don't care that it's a U.S phone and that I'm in California? Just bought an s5 I planned to unlock but t-mo requires 40 days service. ....so i can use cellunlocker to carrier sim unlock?....phone is paid for fully straight from t-mobile store....

Anyone ? Thanks
Also the requirement to activate to avoid region lock......I popped my sim card from my note 3 in and made a 9 minute call....so is that all that is needed before sim unlocking?
Thanks

All that matters to them is the phone details. They can SIM unlock it once you provide them with the carrier info (the carrier the phone was manufactured for, not who you plan to use it with) and the IMEI. Pull the trigger already.

They're the fastest I've ever used. I got my code back in something like 40 minutes if I recall correctly. It may have been 30 minutes. Either way, enjoy!

Yes, it comes in the root tool over in the dev threads. I used it until about a week ago before switching over to Philz touch recovery. BTW, if you decide to get the G3 and don't like it, I'm down for a swap. I'm waiting for one more paycheck before going ahead and biting the bullet anyway.
Yup...they're fast got my code in 25-30 minutes. ..thanks again for the info.
Used cellunlocker.net last night and it took 5 hours to get the code. Longest I ever had to wait for this site.

Don't get the g3. Seriously, it's not worth it.
I ended up getting the s5 but I'm thinking about exchanging it for the G3. The S5 gets crazy hot during usage.

Yes there is TWRP, you use the international version.
I'm also running a T-Mobile phone on att and used cellunlocker, they had the code to me in less than an hour late on a Friday night, great service if you ask me.....

Lol, wait till you see how hot the g3 gets then.
Have phone trying to call someone when its hot. You'll burn your ear.
I had the att s5 and had no issues with heat at all. Must be your device.
The only issues I had was serious lag. I heard some software updates helped and I bought the TMO one (waiting for it) and sold my g3

Don't do that unless you want an even hotter phone. What are you doing when it gets hot, gaming?

No, after a reboot, if I continue to use the device like tapatalk or Facebook, the battery will be around 39C and the cpu will be around 61C. I don't wanna risk returning it and getting a device with other problems.
