I may sell my unlocked one. Depends on how fast the developer X releases and if I like it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] moosc:
Read on Google + the only dev moto X will be gsm units. HTC tweeted when asked about VZW dev one there were no plans unless there was a high demand for one.

I feel your pain! I just came over from Sprint. I got my ONE a day too late. I can't afford a lot, but I'll pitch in 20 bucks if someone gets a bounty going.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I get that you're upset, but you have to realize that the amount of people who actually care about this stuff, the development community, is a TINY, TINY part of carriers customers. I mean look at XDA. It has 5 million users according to the front page... Well, Verizon alone has over 110 million customers.

We are just a teeny, tiny part of Verizon's customer base. Nothing is going to change, because the very large majority of cell phone owners don't care about unlocked boot loaders or s-off or ROMs or anything like that.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Hand76:
All true but also raises the question what does Verizon care what such a small percentage of their customers do? As long as their customers are happy and paying Verizon monthly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheMavic:
Pretty much. A lot of users on XDA come in with the mentality that the people here make up such a huge demographic of customers when in reality we are less than 1%. With that being said, however, I have seen Verizon deliver to freelance devs before with older handsets.

Im on th e sprint version of the One and not the vzw version. Man i feel for you guys on vzw. I read a article a while back that looked like VZW would be the carrier for our Gov. and i think that is why they are locking everything tighter than tight. If i find the article again i will post it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
The signal problem??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Yup, they had to replace the device.

Everyone still tried to dev unlock still I hope in the off chance that they missed some?

Did you have data but no calls or SMS when you went back to sense. That's what has happened to me since flashing cm.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Did you reflash the sense kernel when going back?

Trust me, I tried everything. To answer your question, yes.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mrbidjey:
Any luck with a SuperCID method?

If htcdev had blocked all VZ bootloader process for the HTC One in about 24 hours after it hit the Big Red, it's probably nothing major. I may be wrong but to my understanding only VZ is restricted. I think if the Company ID is not recognized perhaps it might bypass their system; which is where the SuperCID could save the day (maybe temporarily) like it was the case for the DNA. I am not a developer but I think that might help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Damn, we had those problems on the DNA. RUU was really the only way to get data back. Sorry to hear that man.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Yeah can't you trick the htcdev site into thinking your phone isn't a verizon phone? I read on a site today something like that from someone who seemed pretty knowledgeable.

Is anyone working on that?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
Is the file HTCdev sends to you after you input all of the requested information specific to your phone? I think so, right?

Can two people that received different versions of the file compare them in a hex editor (or similar) and see how much of the file actually changes? Probably not, but maybe it is just as simple as taking someone's existing unlock.bin file from HTCdev, figuring out exactly what information changes, and be able to generate our own unlock.bin's for other phones?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
yes, and was determined to be VERY different. Please correct me if I am wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Sounds like the SuperCID exploit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gornul:
Sold my Rezound to my brother (and he passed his Incredible to his roommate) to get this phone. If we're not making serious headway on this within a week I'll return it and buy another Rezound secondhand. This is ridiculous.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] RuckusDecay:
Has anybody try'd the revone method at least and see if it works.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
You need to relax lol its a perfectly good phone even if its bootloader locked. Its eons better than the rezound. The bootloader will come with the right devs and time. Just wait.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

I'm sure they have. You guys really don't need s-off right now though. Your primary objective should be something to get the bootloader unlocked, like superCID or something else.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:
Yeah, this is incorrect. VP of Moto already confirmed Dev Edition of Moto X incoming to Verizon. Don't know where you got your info....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] P.Mobile:
dont kno if there's anything i could help with.. i have the sprint htc one.. unlocked and s-off'.. let me kno.. i was thinking about coming to verizon after my contract is up with sprint but im deff not now.. they on some other ishh man thats crazy.. sprints signal sucks but ill deal with it... hit me with a pm if i can help in anyway..:good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:
Yes, revone and moonshine have both been tried. Its amazing how many times this is gonna come up, lol. "Hey, you know the method that gives s-off to HTC One devices? Has anyone tried it on a HTC One?" Sorry but even asking the question is a bit redundant in itself....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gornul:
Stock Rezound might have sucked, but the dev community (and in particular, Neo) has done some incredible things with it. Solid phone I was perfectly happy with, and would have stuck with for another year or two if my brother hadn't wanted to upgrade.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] RuckusDecay:
Well I tell you what. If someone were to ask that same question(sarcastically speaking of course) i'll be glad and happy to respond with a "Yes, revone and moonshine have both been tried." and it haz not work. lol :laugh::p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:
Yes, they've been tried and didn't work, Lolz. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GillRigged:
Sorry dude, but you're wrong. Verizon is in fact getting a dev edition of the Moto X. VP of Motorola Mobility announced that on Friday.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gornul:
And NOW I just realized why your name looked familiar, look at me telling YOU what the Rezound community was accomplishing, LOL.

Neo has been saying his 4.3 based ROM is going to be for the One too, not just the Rezound, so maybe I'll just chill out a little bit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Lol there was a lot we accomplished but some stuff just cant be changed, like battery life. I'm running infection right now and its pretty great. The One will be amazing in time.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NAU420:
So true about the Rezound... This phone just came out and people are having heart attacks, yet it's only been four days. Neo did a great job on the Rezound and I look forward to his work on the One. I do believe we'll have s off soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
right I was actually the tester for S-OFF with unlimited.io for the Rezound, i prob rebooted the phone over 100 times with UN-insulated paperclip, I was doing it right the entire time, turned out the SD-Card was no good.

I'm trying to reach out to them to see if they have a any plans for this phone and if they needs testers.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Yeah I remember that. Those good ol' days haha I'll most likely be joining you guys soon so we can have some more fun lol
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NAU420:
I remember those days and the Inc 4g days. You kept our hope up with getting s off and did a great job with keeping us updates.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NotATreoFan:
I'm unlocked, but either way I'm not worried. I ran a bone stock S3 for nearly a 2 months last year until the insecure aboot file leaked. The phone was great in stock form as is the One.

I'm returning this for the moto x this week...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slacka-vt:
Kind of jumping out of the fire and into the frying pan, aren't you? The Verizon Moto X doesn't have an unlocked bootloader either. Unless you want to wait around and pay full price for the developers edition.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Jeremiah_1988:
Lol I have a s4 and new nexus 7, I'm flashing stuff on those for my crack fixes. My beef is the battery life here, It has none! Had to get a mophie case to help and that's one heck of a brick for a phone. The moto x intrigues me with the features so imma give it a go
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slacka-vt:
Ahh -I gotcha now. Battery life does seem a little less than stellar. Honestly, I was going to get the Moto X, but decided on the One. Let me know how you like it. I'm obviously still within my 14 day return period. ;)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gornul:
The mophie case is HARDLY brick like. It's actually pretty surprising how little bulk it adds for more than doubling the battery life. My Rezound's extended battery was far, FAR bulkier for 3200mAh than this is for more than 1000 more.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Jeremiah_1988:
I almost got excited, I was calling Verizon just to make sure lol
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slacka-vt:
Hey, look at the bright side -if the 4.3 OTA hits by the end of September, like the rumor mill suggests, I won't have to scramble to flash stock recovery and lock my bootloader to take the OTA.

I'm not willing to judge battery life on a phone 3 days old, but for me to get 15 hours with Bluetooth streaming and over 3 hours screen time, I'm not complaining either.

But I'm also having issues with Google Services and Android System taking up a lot of battery for whatever reason...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] iElvis:
I've frankly stopped paying attention because I get good enough battery life that I don't really need to worry about it. But I can get through the day with a full charge despite some heavy use, and I've gone 60+ hrs with light use.

I just can't decide.. I wanted the One but when the S4 released and there was no word on a VZW One I went ahead and got the S4 on release day. I have loki'd twrp so I'm good on the custom ROM front. I love my phones and with all the new ones soon to be released I need to decide which I want. I'm grandfathered unlimited and I MUST have VZW for there coverage. I don't have any options for internet other than VZW tether where I live... So I pay full price for my devices. I'd like to just buy one more phone for the year but I have to decide between all the phones that are soon to be released. When I heard the One worked through HTC Dev, I left work and went straight to VZW. I was looking at this thread as I was being rang up when I saw the posts of the errors HTC Dev was giving. I told the Rep to hold up a sec and walked away to investigate further.. Obviously I cancelled my transaction.

The Dev edition moto x, Lg G2 or the One if it becomes unlocked or if they release a VZW Dev edition. I'm even holding out hope for a VZW compatible Nexus 5(yea yea I know). I have the Note 2 and while it's a great phone, just a bit to big for me so I'm not considering the Note 3. Despite all the bad things being said about the Moto X I want it but I want moto maker as well and I can't get it with the Dev edition.. I know there are worse problems in this world but dang, I was so close to an unlocked HTC One and my decision would have been easy and over with.

Dr. Cornelius asks you to calm down.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xeyesofthousandx:
No. You cannot flash anything with a locked bootloader. In order to flash a custom Rom/kernel you need a custom recovery. To flash a custom recovery, you need to unlock your bootloader. Womp womp

Edit: darn. Meant to quote. Fml
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] duocycle:
so is this device worth getting now that the bootloader is locked?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:

CID?

I know it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but I don't think anyone answered anything. Logically speaking, it seems that just sending down another CID to HTC Dev might work. Is anyone able to try any of the previous super CID methods?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
I think just about everything like that has been tried
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sparky697:
People if you have unlocked your phone do not take any update. Have you not seen what has happened to the vzw s4? Sure you may be able to get it unlocked but why be the one to try. Just have a bit of patience and wait til either someone verifies you stay unlocked or til a Dev puts out a flashable zip. As a previous Moto Bionic owner I am used to this. However vzw is now forcing other manufacturers into the same behavior and the folks who have had previous HTC and Sammy phones aren't used to the lockdown like us lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:
Because they're completely different. If an update made it so the unlock code no longer works, it would make it so no code worked on ANY HTC device anywhere. Not just Ones. This isn't gonna happen. And yes, I'll try it when it happens, I'm that confident. If you have a code, you're safe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sanders539:
I Don't see how an OTA can break adb and fastboot commands. Getting the code is what was locked down, not being able to USE the code.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
doing some digging into the current available exploits, i have found that the PERF_EVENTS exploit still exists in the current M7 4.2.2 GE kernel source. It HAS been patched in the 4.3 kernel source. So if it was to be taken advantage of, it needs to be done on our current system assuming it is in our kernel. Here is a link to the exploit if someone has the knowledge to adapt it to our One. https://github.com/android-rooting-tools/libperf_event_exploit

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] replica9000:
I see source on HTC Dev.... Or is that not what we need?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
The m7vzw does not have any kernel source yet. HTC must release it soon however to be GPL compliant.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
so if they release the kernel source, will that make it easier to attain root and bootloader unlock?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] antp121:
Probably not. All source code really does it allow us to build kernals which we can't flash since the bootloader is locked anyways.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
We just need to see source to verify whether or not they patched the exploit. If they didn't the exploit can be used/adapted for the one

If this is the case then I am willing to bet that the exploit still exists in our vzw kernel. Here is a copy of the root used for the VZW s4 ME7 builds that used the perf_event exploit if someone wants/knows how to take a stab at porting it. It may need to be changed and recompiled to work with the One. The s4 version utilized an external sd to make it work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5t936f0uzomnf9i/RootforVZWS4.zip

Are you sure that the unlock codes are imei based? I would think SKU but idk what the device token is based off of.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Gornul:
IMEI seems the most likely candidate, from over here on the "enthusiast but not dev" end of the knowledge spectrum. The android "Device ID" can change on a factory reset, so if people's unlock_code.bins are still working after such a reset, then it's not tied to that. SKU wouldn't make any sense because that's not unique to the phone. Serial Number might also be the basis. We'll find out when Gray's method works or doesn't.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jmstumme:
It might have something to do with the CID as well. Isn't one of the DNA unlocks based on SuperCIDing and then unlocking from online?
