Hello,
I wanted to ask how can i check if i have locked or unlocked bootloader?
I found one tutorial for XPEIRA Z SO-02E (ver 1.0.1) and I dont know if its european version of the phone or its universal rooting tutorial for locked and ulocked boodloader, so don't know what to do?
Can CWM be installed without unlocking bootloader (i dont want to lose bravia)?
Will bootloader stay after software update, because i got stock 10.1.A.1.350 and my carrier still isnt on update list and i dont have any updates yet?
Is there a mod that changes softkeys and upper notif bar to black (right there where clock and notif icons are)?
Final question, can modifications regarding UI and Audio (for example) be applied without unlocking bootloader?
Thank you

Read the dev section and most if not all of your questions will be answered.
bootloader unlock
how do I unlock the bootloader if bootloader unlock allowed says NO?
in beanstalk 4.3 or couple of similar custom roms , there is an option to get swipe to unlock + pin
how can i know what is changed in order to do this ?
so i can edit it in my own rom
This thread is just for lollipop 5.x M8WHL (sprint) based on SENSE roms
LET'S START
1 - unlock bootloader from htcdev.com
2 - flash TWRP HERE
3 - ROOT your device by flashing SuperSU v2.45
4 - flash 1-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip and then flash 2-HtcOMADM_SPCS.zip
5 - Install SIM unlock helper.apk and do as usual
If the signal didn't appear do the last step in this thread which is number 6 -
So you get it , hope it works for you . :good:

Via TWRP press Mount and mount system , now go back to advanced and file manager
In file manager go to system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS and delete a file called .fota_apk

I tried it and it worked. Just need to flash Kitkat and restore back the Lollipop after unlock.
hi , i needhelp with my htc m8 sprint
hi, i need help i got an HTC M8 sprint lollypop, from ebay i live in northern Baja In mexico , and i wanted to use it down here, i got an unlocking code but it does not ask for it, i have taken it to some shops that unlock cellphones but they cant do it
i love this phone but if i cant make it work i will have to re sell it,
can some one help???? many thanks
I have the same problem as arunkarnwal1981. I get the vdm client not responding error even after renaming the file in question (does it have to be deleted entirely?).
Also, SIM Unlock Helper just says "This device is not a Sprint HTC One." Odd, this is from an RUU dowloaded from HTC's site. So all I've got is a phone with the vdm client broken, whatever that is. Android is 5.0.2, Lollipop.
Oh - there's a brief message after "This device is not a Sprint HTC One." It reads invalid device htc-m8whl.
check my thread for complete Sim unlock on lollipop without s-off

htc m8 sprint,bootloader unlocked,s-off
hi there i tried this but it did not work, i have a htc m8 from sprint it has android 5.0.2
and i too want to use it out side of the US, mine its ROOTED,BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED,AND S-OFF, can you help me , it still does not accep my sim card....thank you
Well, it generates the vDM Client has stopped unexpectedly error as soon as I install the .zip. I'm running HTC's RUU of Lollipop 5.0.2.
And then the unlock helper says "This device is not a Sprint HTC One!" Process fails for me.
simple solution, works 100%
if u r on lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 on htc m8 sprint follow below steps to unlock ur phone
Unlock Bootloader
Flash TWRP RECOVERY
Flash Sim Unlock Zip file
Install Stock Rooted Deodexed 4.4.4 zip Rom file
wipe cache, dalvik cache and reboot phone, it will take some time to boot but hv patience...
Turn On the phone
Install sim unlock apk
Open and press 3 dots menu button and then wait for super user permission to be granted...
press back button and then start button... congo u will get ur sim unlock option at bottom of the page... reboot and then done... if u get vdm error then copy htc omad... file to system/apps and try again changing permission.. it really works i unlocked mine successfully...
In available networks I get an error message
Hi all. I have been following this post. I manage to get the sim unlock menu, then I go to GSM options and I manage to retrieve the lis of the following operators in my country, but as I select any of them, I get the message Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network. Any clues on how to fix it? Thank you in, advance
Try to redo the unlock procedure and reboot the phone...i think it should work cuz its something related to unlocking,

I have unlocked my bootloader and tried beta 8 for my OP3T.
I would want to go back to fully stock (Lock bootloader, One plus recovery)
Is there any simple toolkit available?
