[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lunercrab:
My phone is coming tomorrow....I heard there is an att software update....so question is if I'm able to get my lock token can I still update if I want... I'm guessing once u get the token u can always unlock the phone no matter what software version correct?...also can we use the all in one tool kit to unlock and root from the international section?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
the update wont affect the bootloader, HTC BLOCKS IT via htcdev.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Even if you guys don't root your device just get your unlock.bin so you can root it before HTC blocks it at a later time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
So as long as we get the unlock.bin emailed to us were okay right? If we don't want to unlock it now we could at a later date as long as we've got that emailed bin file, yes?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rayford85:
Correct.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] linedpaper:
Wishing I hadn't done my preorder at Best Buy now, there's no chance of getting early from them :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Just unlocked my bootloader n rooted

It still working as of now
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
Thank you!! Hope it's still working when I get home.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] scotty2hotty1125:
Hope it's still working when I get mine tomorrow!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SirSigma:
I get mine Friday.

PLEASE don't let them lock it by then! :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jscass2000:
That's what I'm hoping too. I keep refreshing the USPS tracking page hoping it will change and say expected delivery 4/18...hasn't happened yet.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] relic120:
Confirmed, it's still working as of 4/17/2013 1:30pm EST

Didn't know if I needed to hide that part or not so just hid it anyways :silly:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] saditch:
Hi Ace, can you post the exact steps you followed to unlock and root? This being my first HTC device it would really help. Much appreciated, thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
Use the toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183942&highlight=apps

Pretty sure I read it works and it will root+install a custom recovery (go with TWRP).

Also, follow the instructions exactly. Not doing so can result in more headaches.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] relic120:
How did you get TWRP to work? I have followed the directions (Already had bootloader unlocked from HTC Dev) but the Recovery is not working. I selected TWRP and followed the steps. If I try to go to recovery from bootloader it just reboots like normal start to the system. I also can do PermRoot because of that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
I'm surprised those recoveries work on this version of the ONE. Make sure you're booting into HBOOT then Fastboot with your phone completely off and not with inside the rom

Do be careful. The Sprint One has different mount points than the HTC One recovery your trying to boot. I am not sure about this One version.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aimetti:
Dont quote me on this but I believe the sprint one is the only variation due to CDMA? My understanding was the ATT version is identical other than the LTE band.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Flyhalf205:
Makes perfect sense :silly:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] erik111111:
Sorry for the stupid question, but how do we get the token emailed to us? I was looking on the htc site and it wanted me to connect my phone and get some block within the phone? Do I follow those steps? I don't want to unlock until I am sure I have a good copy.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
Follow the instructions on htcdev. They basically walk you through it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] C0mbe:
I flashed the TWRP recovery from the international one using fastboot. Everything works as advertised.

Bootloader unlock still working.. 4pm est
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cdordon:
Will the bootloader be relocked in the future by HTC in a software update though? That's my biggest concern.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
if it is, you should still be able to unlock it again since you have the unlock_code.bin file. at least thats my understanding.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] subarudroid:
This topic makes me sad :( my upgrade isn't until May 16th. I want this phone badly, I really don't like sense however do like HTC phones.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] relic120:
Okay, I got it working after I did fastboot myself, but it wasn't working with the All In One Tool. Recovery loaded when I clicked "Boot into Recovery" on the tool though.

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
Just got my one in the mail and was able to receive the unlock.bin through HTCDev. I'm not ready to unlock yet but I'm assuming with this bin I won't have to worry about not being able to unlock in the future
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cdordon:
I didn't really like Sense 3, 3.5, even 4. But man, they hit it out of the park this time. I love Sense 5!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CiDhed:
Walked my Apple fan girl sister through getting my unlock bin over the phone since she is house sitting while I'm out. Got the email, f'in awesome.

She is pretty impressed and I haven't even shown her all the features. Maybe a convert?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cdd543:
I went ahead and unlocked mine.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lunercrab:
sweet unlocked mine and installed recovery via toolkit....backing up phone in recovery and then going to flash root....
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agentdr8:
Woot. htcdev site still working for unlocks for my 2 One's. Hopefully it'll still be working tomorrow for my remaining 3.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Sense 5 isn't that bad.. It's "less in your face" I guess you can say.. Those widgets and color scheme of the old sense was so boring
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] DanMc85:
May 1st... you can upgrade anytime with in your upgrade month now. You no longer have to wait for the specific date. AT&T changed this last year. Its 21+ months you are eligible for upgrade and anytime within that month. The system will still say May 16th but come May 1st it will say you are eligible. So just hang on for 2 weeks or so.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jpitch2415:
My one is unlocked and rooted:)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Or just call att online store. They should be able to upgrade you anytime after Friday! They told me I can upgrade early just tell them yours a loyal customer and want an upgrade
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
My upgrade isn't until August 1. Think can get it early?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] subarudroid:
I just hope bootloader is still unlockable by then.

Hey gunnyman! Haven't seen you in the Onex thread in a while bro.

I called att about early upgrade, they said sure if you pay full retail... BS
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I'll be here come August. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
By simply requesting the unlock, does that itself void the warranty?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jcoello:
Warranty Voided?

Yeah it does. You will get the message when you go to www.htcdev.com
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Your HTC warranty yes.. not your AT&T since you can easily relock it and they don't check to see if it was ever unlock
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
Hmmmm...not sure.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Unless the verbiage has changed, HTC says unlocking the boot loader MAY void your warranty. It isn't automatically voided
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
I wouldnt think requesting the token without installing could ever void your warranty.. You havent done anything to the phone yet. After unlocking with the token its possible under extreme circumstances taht you get denied.. I've returned 5 or 6 phones that were unlocked over the years without an issue. Of course do not volunteer the info. It's not like since you unlocked through HTC that you will be flagged in AT&T's system or anything.. Now if you take it to the shop and they turn it on and setcpu is on the homescreen overclocked to 3.5ghz...then you might get denied.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jcoello:
Yes I'm sorry. If you unlock the boot loader then the warranty is voided. Requesting the token doesn't do anything. Misread the post at first.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I would defiantly try. Not sure how far back they will go but ive heard of them going back to september. It's just getting the right person or supervisor involved. Give them the "I'm a loyal customer" routine

611 my friend
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] naz4viper:
I'm not expected to get my ATT One until tomorrow (4/19). arg! Can anyone still confirm whether or not HTCDev still works for unlocking bootloader ?

I'm wondering how legit the story is in the OP's link (Engadget).. :confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] scotty2hotty1125:
Mine is out for delivery at the moment, but as soon as I get it, the first thing I'm going to do is to try and get my unlock token. I'll update this post if/when successful.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Engadget is on Apples payroll so I hardly visit their site but it's a popular source

And people are saying HTC have blocked phones in the past so
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Since they're the only site I saw this on, I'm hopefull the boot loader remains unlockable
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SirSigma:
Yeah, I'm starting to think this way too.

If only Engadget said it and it seems to be at rumor stage, then it likely isn't true.

Still, don't wanna take chances. I'm probably going to at least get my unlock code and saving it somewhere.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Usually, when news of this magnitude slips out it gets picked up and verified by folks at the Verge, or Android Central or Android Police.

So far that hasn't happened.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Anyone try unlocking the bootloader today? I just got the call from the AT&T store that mine came in and I can pick it up! So just wondering if they blocked unlocking yet
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pokey9000:
I got an unlock.bin late last night. TU to the first person to report on unlocking theirs tomorrow.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
But you didn't do it today.. I'm hoping that when I go to pick mine up in about and hour that I can unlock
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
Where do I know you from. Mine is arriving any minute also
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
HTC view :P just picked mine up and heading to my desk to check to see if I can unlock.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I was able to unlock :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
Ah yeah. Def remember that then. And awesome. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Andrmgic:
my store has it.. but I can't get one today, apparently.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Yeah I'm so glad I was able to get it today instead of tomorrow (the tracking said it would be delivered tomorrow) I wonder when tomorrow they will block unlocking.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
my phones out for delivery but i wont get home from work for another 8 hours. hopefully its still unlockable by then.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
Can someone that has a working recovery link me to the one they used? All that I try don't boot recovery
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agentdr8:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Turn off quick boot or whatever HTC calls it in settings
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
Yup exact one I used. Still get no recovery.

Yup I did search and find that as a solution. I also found running "fastboot erase cache" and choosing factory reset in the bootloader menu too. Neither work. Its very weird as everyone else is booting just fine.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] erik111111:
Yeah. I quit reading the first time and didn't realize the process eventually led to them emailing the token.

Did it this morning and got the token email, so I assume I am good.

One issue I had was where you are in cmd window, I didn't know how to highlight just the portions needed. So I selected all and pasted to notepad and then edited out the parts I didn't need.

Wasn't sure that would work, but apparently it did as they sent me the email with the key file.

I also had to download HTC sync manager in, addition to the files they mentioned in the step by step, to get the usb driver to work.

:good:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agentdr8:
Try using "adb reboot recovery" with the phone on. That worked for me too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
tried that too. Instead of throwing everything at me I will just list what I tried

Of course I am HTC unlocked

-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

chose factory reset

reboots at splash and boots android

-adb reboot recovery

-power off phone completely

vol down and power

chose recovery

-fastboot boot recovery.img

-fastboot flash boot recovery.img

caused constant reboots obviously

Everything I tried didn't get recovery to boot. I get a quick look at splash with red text then reboot into android.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I'll try when I get home. I just had time to unlock then had to run to the doctor. I'll keep you posted. I'll shoot you a PM later on.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
well let me say this. I got it to boot finally. I kept flashing recovery and rebooting bootloader till tampered appeared. Then when it finally said tampered I tried to boot into recovery and it worked.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Odd. Did you restore the apps that it wipes out when you unlock?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
yup...working on it now
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
None of my apps got erased when I unlocked, which I thought was strange, but awesome. I still have the calculator, voice recorder, ringtone trimmer, etc.

Also, why don't people just use the toolkit? That'd help eliminate most issues.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
Because I'm faster than downloading the toolkit and doing it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Toolkits?!? We don't need no stinking toolkits
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] surefooted:
My HTC One was just delivered and I unlocked it. Yea!!

This is my first Android phone so I'm excited about what I can do with phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agentdr8:
OT: Nothing related to the One, but I just noticed you have a total of 1 post for the last 7 years. That's some super lurking! Hope you enjoy your first Android. The One is a great device. /OT
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
I'd wager the toolkit may have been a wee bit faster in this case since you had some issues with recovery, but no matter. I wasn't really referring to speed, but rather eliminating issues people may have doing it manually.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
I meant tracking one down and downloading it. I can assure you it wasnt user error. I know what im doing. Installing recovery is easier than unlocking. I honestly have no idea what happened. But one thing I didn't try was swapping cables. Hell come to think of it, it is quite possibly the cable
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
Oh no, I didn't mean it was user error. I was referring to the process of finding it as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Stea1th:
just unlocked mine now :D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Since JMZ and myself are devs I could tell you with 99.9999%(I can't speak for him 100% so that's why I said 99.9999) certainty that we would rather use adb commands over tool kits any day and what you had said that it would eliminate issues I think we both would beg to differ the opposite that if you use add/fastboot commands it's actually safer than toolkits.(as long as you know what you're doing)

With toolkits you give control to a program and there is just more of a chance of something going wrong with one of those automated steps.. I'd rather have the control.

BTW: JMZ, I just flashed recovery and I didn't have that issue you had :confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
I did it manually with the Nexus 4 (easy peasy, it's a Nexus), but if people can't follow instructions with the toolkit, I don't see them having an easier time doing it manually. I'd imagine it'd be more difficult for them (although that just comes with not following instructions). The toolkit, at least for the One, was pretty straightforward and idiot proof from what I saw.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] snguyen510:
How long did it take to flash the unlock code? It seems stuck on mine....
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] wastegate13:
Got mine unlocked and rooted manually. Installed Titanium and imported all my old stuff from my Nexus. Gonna take some getting used to this Sense thing after using vanilla android for so long. I've been keeping my eye on the international forums, I'm anxious for an AOSP rom to show up.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] youwonder:
I'm getting mine tomorrow morning, is it still unlockable currently?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rajbsn:
I have just got my unlock code bin file from HTC and I will keep it for future needs
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] youwonder:
sweet, hopefully they don't change anything in the next 10 hours.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] relic120:
Wow, I hope you eventually realized that you were flashing recovery to boot...

Should be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Sent from my HTC One
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shinshoryuken:
I have a question....

If you have AT&T and you get the AT&T version, and you do unlock the bootloader. What advantage does the Dev version have? I know it has extra bands and all, but what else does the Dev version have advantage compare to the AT&T model with an unlock bootloader?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] youwonder:
There is the matter of the universally unattractive ATT logo plastered on the back, but aside from that? I have no idea.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:
Because the ATT model will be blocked from htcdev any time.

The dev version is simfree and unlocked out of the box.

The 32gb version (unlockable [MENTION=1676777]HTCDev[/MENTION]) is also simfree and its cheaper than att.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shinshoryuken:
I know...but what if the AT&T model is already unlock? whats the advantage of the Dev model?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
This is speculation atm. Nobody knows for sure. It might not get blocked. Their last high end android phone wasnt and still isnt locked,The One X+.

I just ran a ruu (first update since launch just came out this week) on it after locking the bootloader.. Lost my original token so i got another one from HTCDEV just 30 minutes ago.

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

No advantage.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pkinetics:
Total facepalm day... everything is good!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Don't really think HTC will block it..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shinshoryuken:
thanks, I was thinking flipping the AT&T model and getting the Dev version......but I'm not sure its worth the hassle...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
That was a testing flash. I know what the commands are. But you can flash recovery to boot and it will try to force boot recovery. Essentially that's how twrp dumlock works
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] erik111111:
Just got an unlock token for one so still not locked apparently.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] relic120:
Ah, my bad. So did you ever get to boot to recovery? When I used the all in one tool. I was never able to boot into recovery but doing it manually through flash boot and then selecting reboot to recovery from the all in one, it finally booted.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jmz:
I flashed recovery and rebooted bootloader multiple times till bootloader said tampered then it worked
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Fidelio_o:
Anybody have the att ruu yet or not available yet? Would like to have it before going nuts lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] slackercow:
anybody else who is able to get bootloader unlocked today, please let us know!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] naz4viper:
I'm wondering this myself. It's now 10:40am ET. I'm expecting UPS to deliver mine any moment now. If HTCDev still has not blocked it on the official launch day, then what are they waiting for??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] digital.ninja:
unlocked this morning

I successfully unlocked my HTC1 this morning. I used the tool kit found on the HTC One forum. :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jlo20431:
Bootlooping

Hey guys I know this is not the right place to ask, however, I unlocked my one today and then I flashed recovery. Now after flashing recovery all I get are bootloops. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it? I appreciate your help.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] UMGixxer:
Try the HTC One forum, there might be info over there that can help you.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jlo20431:
thanks, I have just waiting for a response. This is definitely weird tho, as this isn't my first time doing this

It seems a factory reset fixed it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Andrmgic:
Unlocked this morning just after 10 am ET
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Daman09:
It seems to me that HTC hasn't locked down the AT&T HTC One, and if they haven't done it yet, when else would they do it? Arbitrarily some time in the next few days? Color me skeptical.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] droidiac13:
It won't happen unless they decide to do it in an update.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
I dont follow :confused: What type of update? Wouldn't HTC just add the CID/MID of the phone/carrier they want to block to a blacklist at HTCDEV or something?? I'd think it would be that easy.

We should all just stop talking about it though....maybe they will forget :rolleyes: lol :fingers-crossed:

That's if it was ever intended to be blocked. I cant help but wonder why their last high end HTC phone, the One X+, was unlock able at launch and is still unlock able today..I unlocked one for a friend yesterday. You know we did give ATT pure hell for locking the OG One X down..HTC as well. THere were many many BBB complaints, Hundreds maybe thousands of negative Facebook/Twitter posts.. Petitions with thousands of names.. A lot of people see those negative posts... maybe we won? :victory: WEll at least we have for now!! :highfive:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Maybe I convinced that VP at at&t. :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] droidiac13:
I was thinking blocking root with an update. LOL
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
I wouldn't be surprised knowing you Mr Gunster :cool:

And dude you are gonna LOVE this phone. It's super fast and smooth.. Night and day compared to the Hox or Hox+. The remote is awesome. The Dev community is gonna be out of this world.. This phone will keep us happy for a year at least.. Probably a lot longer as long as it holds up physically. Its so thin and awesome.. but feels very scary naked to me. A case is a must. AS much as i want to not wrap a case around it it just feels so much more secure with one on it. And that finish will show scratches easily i'm sure. Get it man Get it. Go ahead before the bl is locked. Call back and complain about something with your existing phone..Get em to give you an early upgrade..i know u can do it!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
You totally missed the fact that I have one. Bought it on launch day.

:p

sold my Optimus G. :D I still have my upgrade
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nugzo:
Oh snap i thought you were waiting til august r somethin.. Hells yeah!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I was all set to wait but on Friday I saw someone on Craig's list wanting to buy an optimus g. Seemed like fate
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cordell507:
I wouldn't be surprised if at&t released this statement just so people would rush to buy the phone lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
So who wants to flood engadget with ha ha! Nelson GIFS?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] subarudroid:
Fat lady has not sung yet! The suspense of waiting is killing me! I won't have the cash to get mine till the 5th and even then I hope they'll for sure let me upgrade cause its the 16th for my contract. :rolleyes:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Every day that passes and we are now on day 3 since release, means a PR NIGHTMARE for At&T if they lock it. And AT&T is losing subscribers here to T-Mobile and their new contract-free plans
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] subarudroid:
Good point. I just hope they see things your way gunny.

NASA .DISCOVERY .HARRIER .HIMALAYAS .FALCON .GREATWALL .ELBRUZ .FUJIYAMA .BLUEANGEL .VIVIDA .ROADSTER

anyone know what each it will do?

Normat s2d will create a HIMALAYAS loader.

some of those are device names. the rest I do not recognize. Are the others device names? DOes anyone know what they are? Details? Etc...?
