Hey all, I've had this question for a few days. If I have an Sprint HTC One that I unlock with SIMUnlockHelper (with root and s-off), will I be able to flash a custom rom such as CM10.2 or another ASOP rom and still retain my unlock? If not, will I be able to flash any rom (Sense 5.5/etc) and retain my unlock? Thanks.

You'll not loose your unlock, but AFAIK AOSP and CM ROMs don't work with the unlock, maybe some HTC files are missing. You can change as many sense ROMs as you want

Thanks for your answer. One more question, if I use a sim unlock code on my tmobile HTC ONE then flash CM 10.2, will it stay unlocked? Thanks
It won't work on CM or AOSP. It works only with sense

this maybe a dumb question, but i'm still learning. I'm running the CM10 nightly roms and i've noticed that the max clock speed is 1188, is there no way to overclock the vivid?
Can you overclock with the Pac-man rom?

Has to do with the Kernel... if you use the kernel that Homeslice made than you can over clock on CM10, in other words it is not rom specific it is kernel specific.
Should be able to find the Homeslice kernel in the PAC-Man thread.

Thank you, another dumb question though. Do you just flash the kernel the same way you flash gapps with the Rom in recovery? And this can be done at any time?
Depends on if your device is s-off or not. S-off = same as gapps. S-on there are about three different ways to do it.

Unfortunately, I'm s-on...
Can anyone point me in the direction how to flash a kernel with S-on?

Use the all-in-one toolkit in the development section

Or since your rooted download the flashimage GUI.apk (free in our themes and app section) and use that app
Here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20926830
We should look into seeing if we can somehow make a script and add it in a Rom that would do this while flashing...I'm sure its possible, just gotta add the files then add the commands to the updater script -this would eliminate the difficulty for s-on users
Tomorrow ill look into it since I get out of school early (10 am ) and have no work tomorrow

That's not like the HTC dumlock thing is it? A script would make things a lot easier for s-on ppl

I don't think that they'll be able to push a full boot.img through recovery while s-on, however they may be able to push the zImage, which should be all that's necessary for kernel changes anyway. So the script would have to disassemble the boot.img and flash the zImage. I don't know for sure if s-on can flash zImages through recovery or not though. At the least, we could force it to reboot to bootloader after flashing so it's waiting for fastboot flash, or we could pack the boot.img in a ph39img.zip that would flash in bootloader? That wouldn't be too bad (or would that need s-off too????).
Idk..I'm gonna decompile the app and see how it actually works after school

Has anyone used the HTC vivid S-OFF tool kit from the same guy who made the all in one tool kit?
What's the process for making my device s-off? Do I have to reflash recovery and my rom again after or can I just do the s-off process and reboot?

Yes completly go back to stock and lock your bootloader first thoe, I strongly recommend it. Then ruu once complete, unlock bootloader, s-off, flash twrp, cm10

Hello Everyone.
I updated my HTC One to the latest version and now I want to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM. My question is can I still unlock the bootloader on the latest version or did they break the unlocking process?
I want to put a custom ROM on there but obviously I do not want my phone bricked. I am NOT new to custom roms but this is my first HTC device.
Thanks for your quick replies.

Yes you can unlock it.

My question is my HTC vivid is carrier unlocked and I want flash custom Rom. Now if I do this will it relock back to att thanks in adavnc
No. It won't.
thanks and i just flashed the blitz rom and it is bootloopin, so i am downloading a ph39img file hopefully that will get it back to at least working
Is your phone S-ON, the kernel may need to be flashed separately from the rom. This may be the cause of your bootloop?

So I have the AT&T S5 with a locked bootloader. I rooted it, put safestrap on it, and installed a custom ROM. Now I read that the Tmobile S5 has an unlocked bootloader, but given that I can root and install custom ROMs, why is the Tmobile variant any better? Also I read locked and encrypted used interchangeably regarding the bootloader, perhaps they are both locked but not encrypted?
Lastly, does an unlocked Tmobile S5 work seamlessly on the AT&T network, it appears the LTE bands overlap so I'm guessing so. Is there a good reason to sell the AT&T variant and get the Tmobile one?
Ungh, stupid AT&T.
You can only flash custom roms based on the stock kernel. With a locked bootloader you'll never be able to flash an aosp rom.

Nor will we be able to flash 4.4.4(or later) when it becomes available. We are stuck waiting for att to release an update, and then we might lose root.

Does this mean that the custom roms that are installed are still ultimately based on the original G900A one, or at least the kernel is the same?

Basically, yes.
The recent OTA will update the kernel and firmware, right? But does towelroot still work? Is it likely that the bootloader will be more difficult to break later if I do update?
