Locked bootloader! Not worried at all. XDA devs will take care of that issue real soon! I haven't seen them NOT be able to do anything yet!!:D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] superchilpil:
The have not been able to get s-off on the original one x or one x+
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LuRock:
As redpoint mentioned " 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.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] superchilpil:
I was just poking at your previous statement.

My opinion is don't put your faith on the fact that a dev has to crack the bootloader, it could take months to do so.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LuRock:
I hear ya but it might be good for me for a change. I spent too much time flashing and modding and think its time for a change like actually spending more time on my wife than on my phone:D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tylerdurdin:
I actually like the fact that we will have to wait a bit. It's usually in this time of running stock, you get to see if there is any problems with the device. I however am confident that this device will get unlocked. If there is little interest....start a bounty, devs like money a lot.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lunercrab:
I have s-off on my att one x I just bought two weeks ago... Luckily I got one with firmware 2.20
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Underground_XI:
You bought it one year after it came out. Who likes waiting one year to get s-off?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
I've had the phone since day -2 (early shipment) and I still don't have S-OFF and am rooted and unlocked and I have an upgraded kernel with my CM 10.1. S-OFF is hardly necessary.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Underground_XI:
Only a noob can say s-off is hardly necessary. Cool though glad u happy with it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
These days it is hardly necessary unless you have a desire to change partitions, splash screen, or flash tons of radios. God forbid you need to use fastboot to flash a custom kernel. As for radios this isnt the days of espresso where radio matters much between versions. Yes some newer ones are better than older ones but might as well go back to stock temp while upgraded firmware. Gonna call me a noob too?

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] futuregerald:
I was hoping to pick up this phone in May but i'm one of those that would rather wait till the boot loader is unlocked first. I need to be able to tether and I want to UV for battery as well. hope they do it fast. I'm also open to buying the developer edition, the main reason i'd get the AT&T version over the developer is to get insurance on it..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] droidiac13:
Why not get Square Trade insurance. $125 up front and then a $99 deductible if you need to make a claim. Covers you for everything but losing it or having it stolen. You have to send it in if something happens, but if they can't fix it, they send you enough to buy a new one. It could be a problem if you didn't have a backup phone though.

EDIT: They also have a monthly option of $6.99/month.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] futuregerald:
Thanks I'll look in to that. I just hope they have developer phones in stock next month. sucks that I have to move this month or i'd buy it now...i probably still would but my wife would kill me :rolleyes:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
check square trade on facebook. someone said they got a $25 discount from fb.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Rayyan777:
Hmm,this is interesting. They locked the bootloader so we can't root it?

I have the device and was able to generate a unlock.bin file on the htc dev website to unlock the bootloader.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aimetti:
That's Fn awesome
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DanMc85:
Yep, they also already released a OTA update for it, I'm not sure what was changed yet but hopefully the don't lock up the bootloader website once the phone officially launches. This one is my company phone, I have my own personal one coming on launch day and I will be heated if I cannot unlock the bootloader on it. lol

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
Wow that'd be great news!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hunt3r.j2:
Are you just deliberately trying to pretend that this is possible? When HTC's negotiators go into the room with ATT, they have no choice. They need to get the device on the carrier, and they can't afford to sacrifice things like the name and the design, so they had to add a logo and lock the bootloader.

If HTC didn't take that deal, there would be no One on AT&T.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Toaster Strudels:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Toaster Strudels:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mchinand:
Not sure what the process is to unlock the phone once you have this bin file, but have you actually unlocked your phone with this unlock bin file?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Toaster Strudels:
Can you take a picture of HBOOT with your phone? I wanna see whether it says "UNLOCKED" or not.

Also, if you are really unlocked, can you flash International HTC One ROMS?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DanMc85:
I'm not trying to flash any international roms to this device unless there is a RUU for AT&T available in case I need to go back because this phone isn't mine. When I get my 64GB preorder I will flash android revolution by mike the day I get it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Toaster Strudels:
Can you take a picture of HBOOT though? Showing that the phone says "UNLOCKED" for the bootloader?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
If the got the unlock.bin for his ONE then it will be unlockable. That is the sole purpose of that bin file. Some Previous ATT HTC phones (One XL) would not give you the unlock.bin. It said you had an unsupported device.

Other people have the ATT ONE phone already and this is the first i've heard of unlocking bootloader. Could it be a fluke? yes. Could he be pulling our leg? yes. Could the phone actually be unlockable and everything said previously was speculation? most certainly yes. How would people know this without trying? i've always said you cant trust a CSR or Tech support agent from these companies... Their words are meaningless. Most ATT reps do not even know what unlocking is. 99% of reps who i've spoken with think unlocking bootloader means the sim card. Fingers crossed this is unlockable.. Please someone else with an early ATT would you give it a try? absolutely no harm can be done. Thank you :)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] istheGman:
I would suggest that people do not accept the OTA update immediately upon receipt of their AT&T One... unlock the One first then do whatever... I just mention it because I think I remember an instance where a phone of mine was unlockable pre-OTA and not post-OTA... FWIW, YMMV

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xstayxposix:
Well. Now debating whether or not to keep the developer edition. I'm getting the second batch so it'll ship once the AT&T is actually released. I'll wait and see if it gets blocked on the HTC side once released.

Rename thread?

This thread goes on for 8 pages of "the bootloader is locked, buy the dev version if you ever want to mod your phone ever" panic before the issue is resolved. I almost stopped halfway through and figured, "well, I'll spend the extra 300$ and get the dev version". You might be able to save some sad soul hundreds of dollars if you add [solved] or something to the thread name. Just an idea.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xstayxposix:
It's not solved yet if in fact it gets blocked on the HTC side once the phone is actually released on AT&T. We will need confirmation after the 19th.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
He doesnt know Droidiac, he's just guessing. (i hope i'm right :D ) Yes its by cid (not mid). No earlier phones to compare this to that i know of. The HTC one was released way early by walmart and some others and it was locked down way before original release. If they were going to lock it i believe it would already be locked. Does anybody know of any HTC phone that started out unlocked and then got locked?? Maybe all the BBB complaints and flame posts all over facebook (OG ATT HTC One X) have made them change their stance. I'm sure it had to look bad with all the negative posts, there were hundreds that went on for months..The One X+ was unlockable, and still is unlockable. Why lock the ONE? Because its flagship? the X+ was the flagship when it was released, that cant be it.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
I'm not guessing. I know this for a fact. Why it isn't locked yet? I dunno. But I do know they weren't suppose to be released yet for sale. So that does play a part in it. Maybe they are still determining the total to be shipped to att. I don't know the reason. But I bet come April 19th we won't be able to unlock. And I'm not just trolling. I preordered mine the minute it started for preorder at att store. So I'm hoping it is unlockable when it arrives this week. I hope I am wrong but the people I know aren't wrong.

To answer your Q, it has happened a number of times on HTC devices *on Verizon* (unlocked prior to official release, locked down afterwards). The most recent episode was the Droid DNA. No, AT&T is not Verizon. I'm crossing my fingers just like everyone else that it will not be locked period.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
I'm not talkin crap or do i think you're trolling. I just dont think you could know this as FACT unless you worked for HTC. "Fact" is a pretty strong word. ;) It is being unlocked now. :good: Someone at HTC had to flag the CID as being unlockable through HTCDEV right? Here is a fact.... I really have no clue what will happen! lol. :fingers-crossed: People got the HTC One X way early and it was not unlockable early or ever.. But the X+ was/is unlockable. Why would HTC/ATT allow the X+ to be unlocked but not the One? I have the Dev edition coming and wanted to get an ATT version also after seeing them unlocked. I'll probably need both because i wont be putting a case on this sexy biatch.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

It would be stupid of HTC to lock up htcdev on the release day, it is a flagship device and users may want an unlocked bootloader... Samsung doesn't bend over backwards for carriers, all of their Galaxy series shipped with unlocked bootloaders and you could ODIN anything you wanted. HTC has no reason to force lock their bootloaders on their users. All of the power end users would most likely return the device and get the Galaxy S 4. I know for a fact that even though I will have two HTC One's (personal/work phone), if my personal one isn't unlockable it will be returned for the Galaxy S4 just so I can do what I want with it with custom roms and root access... Even though I absolutely love the HTC One so far.

Why doesn't anyone understand that concept? I essentially posted this a few pages back. :cowboy:

The fact as it currently stands, it could be like the Droid DNA, or it could actually be unlockable after release. Confirmation will not come until after the phone is officially released through AT&T on the 19th.

The world is not going to end if it is not unlockable for the AT&T one, I am sure someone will find an exploit. I understand that HTC is hurting, and wants money, but it just doesn't make sense to have a developer version that basically only supports AT&T customers, if the AT&T one can be unlocked.

Sit back, relax and wait until the 19th. I know the suspense sucks, but trust me, we all will manage. :victory:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naffets:
Worthwhile considering your reasons for leaving.

The biggest thing for me is that the S3 feels cheap and nasty (I still have one - it's my work phone)

The XZ feels premium. 'Feel' counts for a lot, to me
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucho2004:


Coming from note 2 i will initially missed the wow and colour pop effect from the Samsung, however that feeling quicjly changed to sheer appreciation of a more natural, and extremely sharp display of the xperia z, that is so much more peasant for long time viewing.

I miss the bigger battery,

Things I don't miss

Longer charging times,

Ugly Touchwizz design,

Cheap feel,

Everywhere I looked people owned it,

now when on public transport heads turn at the "Rectangular black all glass, Sony logo devil beast" that guy is holding
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labroste:
Exactly, I think this is the best looking android device right now (HTC One looks good too, but I hate Sense)... and XZ has almost a stock android look.

I've a doubt about the charger port on the phone... I've heard on other forums that it is rectangular and not like the standard one that comes with 99% of all android devices, is that true?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixedtrd:
I have a s3 and now the z what I miss is on the s3. My extended battery that's about it

The Z display and color is so much more natural and easy on the eyes.

The S3 has the wow pop colors on their display.

The build quality on the Z is so much better than the plastic S3.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimsey:
I came form Note 2, but my wife has still has my old s3.

I agree with some of the above and definitely do not regret moving to XZ from Sammy and I've had galaxy's since the s1, the xz is a better phone in terms of features and build quality. I'm not even sure I'll get an S4 given how much i like the XZ

S3 +

has more vibrant/ brighter colours - but can also be a bit blue or yelllow due to manufacturing differences

Removeable battery

hardware buttons( you definitely miss them at first)

XZ+

Camera is noticeably better than the s3 ( my main like)

software buttons - I use button saviour so I can swipe from side to have buttons appear and get a fuller screen xperience

Screen is a bit sharper/more natural colours

I find the Battery is way better than s3 with comparable use
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I miss from my S3:

Battery - I find s3 outlasted z by a short margin especially screen on time

Screen - Z screen is a little washed out but is much brighter and more readable in Sun than the s3

Great camera - S3 camera is better and has a much better flash

Bright Led flash - I use the phone as a torch a lot, S3 flash is twice as bright as Z

Smoothness - S3 is faster than z, or should I say smoother, a lot smoother

Feel - S3 feels nicer and strangely less plasticity than Z, Z feels like it's light and plastic and the screen kind of bends

Good speaker - S3 speaker is a lot clearer and louder

Music - S3 sound volume us much better

I guess that sounds like I should go back to S3 but the Z is new, is waterproof, survives more harsh treatment than the S3 and has a better keyboard and nicer software than the S3.

Ok maybe I'm missing the S3 a bit lol. But seriously the Z isn't enough of an upgrade in my book.
