all but the Verizon HTC one are easily unlocked at HTCDEV.com
and the Verizon one has an s-off workaround to get unlocked also.
do you have a G2 or are you asking how to trade for one ?

I have a G2 and I have offers for a htc one google play edition or nexus 5. I was told that the htc doesn't have an unlocked boot loader.

one look in the development section should answer your questions the bootloader has been unlocked by HTC since the beginning
If you have an HTC One GPE 4.4 or version after with locked bootloader. You cannot unlock it anymore (it may be an bug from HTC or sth)

Anyone know how I can unlock my Three branded phone?
I know Three will unlock but charge £15/20!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
I'd like to know too, having hit the HTC Dev "sorry it aint going to happen" error message when transferring the code across to the HTC site. I've seen sites that will do this for money so I know there's a solution out there. After many years of Android and unlocking I don't particularly want to pay someone for something that should be public knowledge.
I got a code from eBay for £3 and it worked fine... Send me a pm with your email and send you link....

Can't say about UK, but my HTC One on 3 Sweden was no problem unlocking bootloader from HTC Dev at beginning of last week... Just wanted to clarify in case other swedes read and give up in advance... Find it strange that the same carrier would have different policys in different countries but fairly new to the game so I'm not sure.

I unlocked my 3 UK branded HTC one via htcdev
If HTC one is not in drop down menu
Then select other models option
This worked for me
Edit
Not sure if op means unlock bootloader, which is via htcdev as above or carrier unlock, to use a non 3 SIM, which is a different process
You will be emailed an unlock token that you should save, as this can be used to unlock your phone again should you relock

International ROM
Can anyone here give me simple starter instructions to reflash my vodafone htc one with international stock rom
I dont want a custom rom just a non vodafone rom form HTC, EU or World.
It is SIM unlocked Bootloader locked.
Can this be done without rooting?
Just switched form Samsung where it was easy to switch to a different rom by flashing without rooting...is there a similar way with HTC?

Thinking of changing form an Xperia Z with a locked bootloader - would you be so kind as to confirm whether the HTC One on 3 UK has a locked down bootloader? The XZ bootloader is locked down tighter than a duck's behind.

SO if I want to flash an RUU does my phone have to have a LOCKED bootloader?
Currently mine is unlocked and on the HTC One X I was not able to use RUU`s when my bootloader was unlocked.

What Eddy said but I'd like to add when I had s-off on my One XL that was no longer the case and I'm sure it's the same on the One but I haven't ran any yet to know for sure.

Hi guys,
I just ordered an HTC One GPE today, and plan to unlock it and root it when I get it. Is this the correct forum for the GPE? I'm sort of confused on where to go for ROMs, recoveries, and the like. I know it's based off the AT&T HTC One, since it has that model's radios, but obviously, it's not the HTC One with Sense. Am I in the correct area?
Thanks!
Yes I think so.

Apologies for posting again, but I have one more question: when I get the GPE One out of the box, will it have the same bootloader as Nexus devices? So I won't have to S-OFF or change the CID?

Or you can unlock,flash custom recovery and use a sense based 4.4 custom rom.

i forgot to ask above but what actually is the benefits of the developer addition?
Personally i dont see any benefits. It gets updates a little bit sooner but nothing big. If you get an actual developer edition device though you get 64gb of storage and unlocked bootloader
