I dont really know if this is something that will work or not but I thought it was worth getting a few other peoples opinions. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow edit the Unlock_Code.bin file that people got from the HTCdev site before it was locked down, if we can find a way to edit that file to work with another device we can continue to unlock devices.

The thread for this idea in the Q&A Section - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417135
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
I think the file is signed with HTC's private key which is why it is flashable... otherwise we could just flash anything :) if you edit it the signature is altered
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] twelvefiftyone:
Thanks to all the hard work from the devevlopers over the past 24 hours. I also was able to unlock mine immediately after picking it up. I also flashed CWM recovery and have root. The debloat script worked like a charm as well. :good:

Really surprised to see HTC/Verizon reacted and locked it down as fast as they did. I understand it is being blocked on HTCdev but I am imagine someone at Verizon was frantically calling them just a couple hours into launch day screaming at them to block the tool.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UgXvibe:
Bragger! :p

Now I'm sad.. I was gonna unlock at work right when I got it and decided to wait until I got home. Boo to me..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Indirect:
Comparing them and they only have 4 bits that match. Not a good sign.

I was able to get unlocked and rooted yesterday before VZW dropped the hammer. Let me know if/how I can be of assistance.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Syn Ack:
Wow what a bunch of jerks at Verizon. Anyway, I'm fully unlocked, rooted, and have previous S-Off user experience with the GSM HTC One, so if there is any progress I'm more than happy to test any methods that aren't fully guaranteed to hardbrick the phone lol.

Well that makes me decision easy then. GS4 for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DHO:
If root is still possible,...

Has anyone tried editing the build.prop to reflect the model of a GSM HTC One that can unlocked via the site? Simple tricks that like have often yielded favorable results.

I want to buy this phone today,... if I know it can be unlocked.

I was in the process of ordering the phone through Verizon, and I paused to find the post with the 30% off coupon code. I'm happy I seen this because i'll have to hold off on my upgrade now..

This sucks..:crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Verizon and HTC are run by a bunch of idiots. Can't believe they locked it so fast.

I have an unlocked one, please let me know if I can be of assistance.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] reggie14:
Well, now I'm not getting an HTC One.

I almost went to the store yesterday to get one, but I didn't really want to end up in a situation where I get a phone that later is not unlockable. It's not uncommon for me to need a replacement phone once during my contract. I was worried this tool would get killed right away and I wouldn't be able to unlock the replacement.

I hate Verizon. I wouldn't be on it if my wife didn't essentially need to be on Verizon. Maybe I'll bail off our family plan and switch to AT&T.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dyshukxda:
why GS4? The new ME7's build's bootloader is locked and I don't believe the DEVs found a way around it yet.... did they?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coolguy71261:
Glad I didn't order it

if anyone needs anything I'm unlocked/ rooted
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jova33:
Nope. Still waiting for that and praying that I never need a warranty/insurance replacement because I know it'll come with that update.

Wow, glad I opted to pay $50 more and get it in store yesterday instead of Viva Movil.

Wow, just waking up and coming to check the forums. This is the last thing I wanted to see. Blah.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eleazar123:
For those of you surprised by VZW getting HTC to lock it down, don't be. :(

This same thing happened with the DNA. Someone reported that htcdev worked, so droid-life made a post about it a couple days before the DNA's release. By the time the DNA was released, HTC had already blocked it from htcdev. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sparky697:
People are still finding the MDKs in some stores, at least as of last week. Or you could just get the Dev edition.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] NotATreoFan:
When I went to the local VZW store near my office yesterday, the salesman brought out the phone and 4-5 accessories for it. I showed him my XDA-Developers case from Cruzerlite and he said "I'll just leave the phone in the box so it's ready for unlocking." Since I was paying full cost for the phone, I threw him a tip in the form of buying a car charger so he'd get something for the sale.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] system6:
Why is everyone in this thread assuming that s-off won't be achieved very soon? Don't you all think that someone will figure it out shortly, or no?

For the users saying they are going to an S4 instead now, isn't there also an issue rooting the S4 atm?

I am just confused. Sorry.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
Yeah the last update from Verizon locked up the bootloader on the S4, I just left the S4 in hopes to root the One.

I guess my question is this on HTCs side or Verizon side? I picked up one from launch day that hasn't updated in any sort yet, it was activated for 10 seconds then shut off before anything could download. What are my chances of this working?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slaya786:
No chance, as the issue doesn't lie in the phone. Our problem is with htcdev website not allowing the unlock anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
hot damn....thanks for the quick reply...I guess I'll activate it and just keep my eyes open...I can't wait to see what the devs do here, I hope they figure this stuff out
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] simo24:
It seems to be blocked from HTC's side. No updates from Verizon have come through. There is an id token in each phone that you collect and send to HTC for them to send you an unlock key, its those id tokens that have been blocked by HTC probably at VZW's request.

Edit: redundant explanation, my bad.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] K-OtiK:
I flippin hate Verizon...they're easily the best service in my area but dammit I hate their decisions on these things
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sankyou:
I wish I could say this is the last straw for me with Verizon but we all knew this was coming. Went to unlock a One for my friend and ran into this. My contract is up in January and I'll be moving to TMobile. Bye bye VZW assmunchers.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I don't understand why/how it wouldn't be locked to begin with.. I mean Verizon KNOWS we are going to do this, they tease us with what? 1 day?

kind of weird to me..

just feel if they gunna do this why it wasn't stopped from the start, they have done this for other HTC phones, so they do know.

Let's up we have some support from those amazing S-OFF Developers that TRULY make this community.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coolguy71261:
I don't see what bottom line verizon is protecting here. obviously if they carted about the bottom line they wouldn't be doing this.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcardona1:
This really sucks! My phone was just delivered this morning and I was looking forward to unlocking :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
maybe htc was leaving the door open long enough to keep devs going...dunno..
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcardona1:
On a side note, my phone was delivered with the SIM card already inserted. Is that normal? I thought I had to do that all on my own...?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cryptyk:
It's usually not that complicated. It's usually not a conspiracy, or a subversion, or a thrown bone.

It's almost always that big companies move slowly. Verizon probably released the phone and sent a huge email over to HTC with the device IDs. The email got blocked because it was over an outlook size limit, so the devices didn't get blocked. Then someone at Verizon noticed and emailed the people at HTC. A day went by because no one is up to date on their corporate email. They noticed the blocked email and sent it across in a renamed .zip file, loaded up the blocked IDs, and viola.

That stuff happens every single day. It's not interesting, but more likely than some VZW/HTC "plan"

That's normal.

That's normal.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mthornto88:
The HTC Droid Incredible 4G was in the same boat when it was released. It was unlockable for a couple of days before Verizon shut it down. They developed the Fake/Super CID method.

Oh well . .. locked or unlocked, this is the best damn phone I've ever owned, by a long shot. I'm really digging Sense 5 and since I keep all my music on the Amazon Cloud, the tight integration with Amazon is really sweet. Aside from removing some crapware/bloatware, I can't think of much else I would need root for at the moment. :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] twelvefiftyone:
Can also confirm this is expected.

When the sales rep asked me if I wanted to activate the phone that day I told her yes and asked if I could just swap in the SIM from my S3 that I was coming from, she informed me no need for that as a SIM comes preinstalled on the HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] foolie:
Good thing I actually like how sense 5 4.2.2 runs and looks so I don't mind to wait for unlock.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UgXvibe:
Is it weird that I never saw a CID on my fastboot screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] enchilader:
Hey all, first post woo.

Anyway, I'm new to the android game as of yesterday, but I'm pretty bummed to read that this is already locked down as I was planning on unlocking after work today.

So what does this mean? Does this spell the end for development or is it a minor bump in the road?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] thecitywelivein:
Welcome to android! HTC cutting us off is more of a bump in the road. The devs here are top notch and will find a way within the coming months.

Just keep glued to the development form. As soon as we get another way to root, you'll see an influx of different ROMS. Thus the reason most of us are flashaholics.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
i'm glad i didn't hesitate on buying this, and got this unlocked yesterday.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sankyou:
Yes this is just a bump in the road. There may never be a bootloader unlock but the device will be rooted. Once rooted, custom roms can be installed. Not having an unlocked bootloader means the newest versions of Android will take longer or will be more buggy if you choose to take the plunge prior to their official release. There will be plenty of developers on this device - so there should be plenty of solid ROMs to go around once it's rooted. You made a good choice and don't sweat Verizon being asshats.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PapaSmurf6768:
Well, I just went for it even though unlocking has been locked down. I just really need to get rid of my dying Thunderbolt and no phone coming out any time soon interests me like the One does. Now I just have to wait for them to email me and I can go pick it up in-store. Hopefully we get another unlocking method, I knew I should've just bought it yesterday (on my birthday, too!)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jdmba:
Welp

That makes my decision easier ... will try to find a more recent ROM for my Rezound while I wait ...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I'm still getting the One, regardless. I mean, was it even guaranteed that we would be able to unlock the bootloader right away?

So, why are people now deciding not to buy, didn't we originally think the bootloader would be locked up anyways? This is Verizon we're talking about, y'know...

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just curious as to why this is now a deal breaker?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I hope with the popularity of the phone we can get some of those amazing S-OFF Developers to help us out.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:
Anyone know of any BIG NAME devs who were gonna get the phone but aren't now that its not unlockable?

I'd be willing to swap my unlocked One with them if it meant getting development for some Roms rolling faster......
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] muffnman:
I really feel for you all. Took a stance that maybe gets some notice.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jdmba:
Well

For me, as an unlimited user, I was going to have to pay full price. I checked my Rezound and noted that I was slightly under 32GB so I was willing to swallow that bitter pill as well. But full price for a 32GB phone that has been out this long everywhere else and locked, it was just 1 too many things.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Makes sense!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] system6:
I'm still going to get it but I am really getting sick of the crap too. Months after every other carrier, no option for 64gb model, s-off block, and then making me change my plan. I found a way around the plan change and I am really, really on the fence between this and the Galaxy S4 because of the S4's expandable memory.

I think I am going to get the HTC One though. I trust in the Devs to achieve S-off somehow.

The thing that bothers me about the S-off thing is that it's not like setting in the phone you can accidentally change. If you request s-off you probably understand what you're doing. Few things annoy me more than companies trying to tell me what's best for me. That's one of the reasons I hate the iPhone. I'm a grown up. If I want to void my warranty so be it.

I really wish companies would stop assuming no one cares for or needs the larger memory capacity. I can use every single bit of 64gb. I know about cloud storage and the like, but I prefer to have things on my phone is case of spotty coverage and to save the battery. I'm sure most users don't need or want the 64gb version, but it exists already. How hard would it have been to make a few of them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
i think that's exactly why it isn't a setting.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DHO:
I do not think they care about voiding the warranty or user experience. My sources say it is about tethering. People who root are more likely to tether.

IMHO I would think the rate of tethering abuse is minimal (? if even 1% of all users), but they want everyone to pay the 30 bucks for the comfort of knowing you could tether, but in fact will not.

I was planning on buying this phone today and working on bring the HTC One family to Team Vanir this weekend..... right now maybe not.

All I know is, I'm stopping by the T-mobile store on the way home.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Jeremiah_1988:
I picked the one up yesterday morning and knew I needed to unlock it and root it but I waited too long now. I have the s4 too so I'll just float between them like the phone slut I am
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rain__:
So, was this blocked because of a forced OTA or is the HTCdev site specifically blocking the VZW version of the phone? Anyway we can contact some HTC dev's directly and "privately" ask for a workaround? :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] iElvis:
What a downer. Sending some good thoughts over from GSM Land. Let's hope you guys get a workaround soon. This device has some awesome devs working on it. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AndrewNeo:
Verizon is legally not allowed to stop you from tethering due to the constraints put on them for owning the LTE spectrum.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
this is prob the fastest Verizon has stopped htc dev from working from what I have seen
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DHO:
They seem to be doing a very effective job at preventing free tethering. Would you not agree?

Latest generation of phones either you pay or no tether... it took the S4 people how many weeks to find a work around on vzw? Older generations need to be modded or pay for it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
I hope the HTC experts can get this all resolved. I got my One today and was planning on doing a kernel for it however with the current circumstances this will be put on hold. Fortunately FoxFi works like a charm for wifi tethering :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AndrewNeo:
Well to be fair they also don't have to LET you tether, either. But if I recall correctly they had to let tethering apps back on the Play Store, and all that. Whether they work is a technical issue that Verizon can certainly prevent. I guess if they were trying really hard it could still be the reason, I just think they're being silly since I can put my GNex's SIM in my iPad 3 and use my unlimited data and there's nothing they can do about it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] FrostyF7:
Wow what a bummer. Hopefully you guys find a workaround soon.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] UgXvibe:
I just posted something similar on Facebook.. haha I kinda used the kiss butt approach hoping for a response.. :P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] reggie14:
No, not really. There are various wifi/bluetooth/usb tethering apps available in the market. You're right, some of the new phones don't work with them. But, there's a better chance that they'll work if you've been avoiding upgrading to keep your unlimited data plan. If you have a new phone, in general, there's a pretty good chance you moved over to one of the new plans, which include tethering.

I doubt they care too much about the people buying phones at full retail. I bet a large portion of those folks just root anyway. They can't do too much to stop that. Eventually they might do what Sprint did with the old SERO plans and refuse to let you use new phones on the old plans.

My understanding is that it still works for AT&T. If my contract was up I would seriously consider making the switch.

I might hang on to my Galaxy Nexus until December and switch to a Nexus 5 (likely on AT&T, as T-mobile's coverage here is terrible).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jmstumme:
I gave verizon a call up and talked to one of the tech support guys. I simply stated that since this phone runs in the 700 MHz band that it needed to comply with the FCC's Open application and Open device rules put on the auction. He's going to check with a network engineer and get back to me... Guess we shall see what their line is on this one.

Hello fellow Members.

I am using Defy plus for two years now I am planning to buy this phone but got some doubts about it.So kindly Give your Suggestions

1. Xperia L Has 228 ppi. Will the screen clarity will be very poor or reasonable?

2.Is there 2 versions of xperia L (C2104 and C2105).What is the difference between them.

3.It has 1750 mhz battery is it enough (mostly i will be using 3G browsing and some gaming, not a hard user) for a day or there is poor battery drain issue.

4.If we unlock the boot loader does the device has a high chance of bricking.Is it compulsory to unlock boot loader to install roms like CM MIUI. Because i dont have knowledge about unlocking bootloaders because my defy plus has locked bootloader so no knowledge about bootloaders.

5.Does xeperia L has good developer support because i am new to this side of the forum.I dont have knowledge about xperia developments.

I have never used Sony devices Share some Pro and Cons about this device.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
1: By my opinion is more that reasonable. It's pretty good.

2: The only difference between them is far as I know the the network frequencies or something like that. Cpu, GPU etc stay the same.

3: I playing a lot on my phone and uses 3G and it's enough for a day sometimes even more.

4: After unlocking the bootloader you will have to flash rom as the XL gets bootlooped after unlocking but flashing a rom it's pretty easy so don't worry you won't hardbrick you phone, it's only soft brick which is very easy to fixed

5: There are few people that developed kernels and rom's. Kernels are able to work below 2.17 firmware as there is a issue with a wifi. Of course if you don't use wifi you can flash it a 2.17. Also there is a development of CM.
[Sony Xperia L] mothy1025:
Is unlocking bl is a must for installing custom rom ? And how about the build quality.Does XL gorilla Glass.
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Depends on the rom. Some of them need custom kernel some don't. XL doesn't have a Gorilla Glass but had a scratch-resistant glass.

For those who have unlocked already.. Want to test a recovery???... DO NOT FLASH!!. do a fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7vzw.img

It will not harm your phone in any way if you boot. If you do happen to flash it. You better hope the recovery boots. Or you'll have to wait for a working recovery to flash
