For me s off allows u to change bootanimations or splash screens,I don't need titanium backup to remove system apps bloatware,I could make my bootloader say locked instead of relocked,but most of all u cud flash a rom without having to use a pc afterwards to flash a boot.img and the kernel can be change when flashing the rom,s off also allows u to downgrade and upgrade firmware at will

Uninstall DMCommandService.apk, EPST.apk, Fieldtrial.apk, HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk , HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk , HTCSprintservice.apk
Modify the line in system/costumize/AAC/default.xml sku_id 42 to 10.
Your phone will be exactly as a GSM phone. All the Sprint junk will be gone

S-Off has nothing to do with SIM lock.
Buy a code from a website.

Here's what I used, they're awesome.

but, there is not my network... i've got unlock code, but it didn't work... mtel/bosniaandherzegovina

That's because some networks can't be unlocked from. We find quite a few that the codes simply do not work for and I suspect that might be the case for the network you've mentioned.

Ok... Thank you

i tried some method from other thread, one is to re-lock the bootloader, I thought if i re-lock it, it becomes officially locked and then it will be able to update. after typing this command : "fastboot oem lock" it re-locked but i couldn't start my phone again it stuck in bootloader and no way to start it, when i saw it will take long time to got fixed and since i have an exam tomorrow and i got an urgent call to make i decide to re-unlocked it using htcdev method suddenly that wiped the sh** out of my phone, I forgot that is gonna happen and i didn't make a recovery.
the best part of this story is the feeling of getting a new cellphone :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
is that stock room compatible with butterfly s? because that thread is about butterfly
I will go through that thread again tomorrow, i will not make a backup recovery because i have a new phone and i have nothing to lose. :laugh:
i will get back to you guys with the result tomorrow
Thank you

I hope you can fix it. You can always flash the ROM manually if you can enter the download mode, you know. Just make sure the ROM is compatible with your model 901e or 901s.
What's the new phone you got? Is it better?

If it's 4G it's 901s. Well, I don't really care about 4G here because it just started here and it is 3G with another name and price, the carriers are cheating here and it won't be really 4G till Q2 2014.

I don't care about 4G, i'm very happy with 3G it is more than enough for me, i use wifi all the time when im home and when i go somewhere i found a wifi network. while i'm driving, 2g is enough for chatting and checking emails.

BTW my problem got solved, Thanks to daorderdillon, 5 hours on gtalk teaching me step by step how to fix my phone and gave me links for all needed files.

Nice to hear that! I hope you don't have anymore problems!

Sprint Harman Kardon Version be Unlocked?

I am thinking to buy the harman kardon version of HTC's M8.. I will be buying from US to India. After reading many posts here, I see lot of saying that they are unable to unlock and for some it's working.
So the question is can we unlock sprint htc one m8 or not? Are there some models which are not getting unlocked?
Thanks in advance for the help.

You can unlock it for international use.

All the models can be unlocked for international use or up to a certain baseband number ...
just want to be sure before buying it.
Thanks for the help

Something having to do with the firmware. OMJ discusses it in his ROM thread.
