I know the M7 and the one Maxx had their unlock codes hidden in the phone and they could be extracted after gaining root. any luck so far on this for the M8?
Can you elaborate on the code being hidden on the M7 I've never heard that before?

this is one of a few methods I've seen. I never owned the M7, but after seeing that i was wanting to know if the same method was developed for the M8.

This method appears to be working for our phones as well. Here is a link to the discussion in the M8 International Version Forum:

I read it several places, but can't find a convenient reference now. Evidently ATT has refused to allow the HTC One x and other former HTC devices to be unlocked, so it is not unexpected.
I've read stories that indicate HTC will not provide the unlock codes for ATT devices once the launch is official on the 19th of April.
Let me start by saying that I have done this before and am fairly experienced at roming phones! So I have a Sprint HTC One with TWRP 2.5 (Sprint variant but have tried both) and for some reason I cannot get the phone to boot into Android Revolution 7.1 (past releases as well) after a supposed successful installation. Android Rev is just an example, I have tried TrickDroid 5.2.1 (past releases as well again) and Maximus7 4.0... all of which have failed. I have successfully installed ViperRom with no issues. I have gotten the furthest with Android Revolution so I'll stick with it.
After installation says that it is successful and I begin to reboot the phone gets stuck on the white HTC splash screen. I have tried flashing the boot.img and erasing the cache with no avail. I have also tried this combination using Dumlock and without. After doing these steps I do sometimes see the phone get passed the HTC splash screen but it just goes black and boots into nothing.
Thanks for your help and excuse my ignorance!
here is the answer
For HTC One: International GSM/LTE (UL), International GSM (U), all U.S. carriers (apart of Sprint)

I'm a little confused on what you're trying to tell me. I am aware that there is a separate Sprint HTC One forum and have been there... but the ROM is for all the carriers.
In the ARHD, TrickDroid (and probably all the others)forum it is written so, and you can clearly see that those roms doesn't support the Sprint edition....
Read the OP on the ROM thread:

There's a specific development thread for Sprint, so you can finding working ROMs for Sprint on the Sprint forum.

Ahh ok, I wasn't aware there were different Sprint HTC One variants. And I did notice that for TrickDroid (I didn't put much time into it, focused on Android Rev). And I'm guessing the same things applies for Android Revolution then..
So just so I'm hearing you correctly.. Android Revolution 7.1 doesn't work for all Sprint variants?

exactly, but i think that most of the roms of the original One won't work on the Sprint One

carrier's phone are always a pain in the ass with these kind of things... however in the Sprint thread there are some roms which obviously work with your device... better than nothing
Just be glad you didn't brick your phone by that mistake. I am on Sprint as well and am patiently waiting for the awesome devs to get a port of Android Revolution on our phone.

Hey guys, I have not seen anything on it yet. Are we able to do the HTC Unlock for our Sprint versions yet like we could for the m7?
on htcdev u can unlock, just pic all other, i'm unlocked already
Good times, thanks! Wanted to make sure before I picked it up next week that we could unlock/root right away again.

Hello. I have an AT&T S5 that is currently unlocked and I am using it with T-Mobile. I would love to root it and put Cyanogenmod 11 on it, as I put it on my nexus 4 before this and loved it. they say on the http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Klte_Info page not to use this guide due to the boot image signing. Does anyone have any information/instructions on how to go about completing this? Thanks!

OK, so I dont want to sound rude so forgive me if I do. but a search in the forums would show you that CM/AOSP/AOKP will not run on an AT&T S5 due to locked bootloader

I've also seen a lot of stuff about unlocking bootloaders on AT&T s5's though, so I was wondering if it is possible somehow.

unfortunately the BL will likely never be unlocked so the chances are extremely slim we will ever see a nything but touchwiz roms.

You can unlock the bootloader on other versions of the Galaxy S5 but you can't unlock the bootloader for the AT&T and Verizon version of the Galaxy S5.
maybe someone can actually get cm11 working for this device i once intalled it using safestrap and it booted touch and everything work but the screen didnt show anything

NO. You can't. On top of that, you posted this in the wrong section.
(Q) Questions don't go in Development.
This question is about two or three years old almost. Dude, almost all of At&t phones have LOCKED BOOTLOADERS and we will never be able to get passed it. NEVER EVER EVER,,,,,,,,Buy a T-Mobile phone!

NO. Someone wont. You go right ahead and keep flashing files, your phone is going to die. I wouldn't be flashing just whatever to see if it works. That's not a very good idea.

OK, just to clear this up one last time.
1. We can not install custom kernels, Stock TW kernels are not compatible with CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's
2. the flashing process although it will complete does not mean the ROM will run.
3. There is (currently) no way to circumvent these issues.
4. SafeStrap will NOT flash kernels only the file system.
Some S5 and S5A devices (international models, Tmobile, Sprint) to name a few have unlocked BootLoaders
those devices can and do run CM/AOSP/AOKP ROM's. AT&T has a Locked BootLoader
I really don't mean to sound condescending however this device is fast approaching it's first birthday and many many people have tried to run CM or CM derivitives on the AT&T device, there are tons of threads cluttering the development forums in regards to this issue continuing to attempt to install a CM Build and then posting here in the AT&T forums is at this time a pointless effort.
Using the search feature either ein Goolge or in the forums will provide all the answers you need.
Thank you,

Well, one can only hope! :laugh::laugh:
In defense of the OP, it's pretty confusing that there's the Unified Development subforum which shows up under the AT&T section... I've been wondering why there's all these threads in a subforum to AT&T talking about installing all these roms that I know shouldn't work. I figured it was just something more involved than I'm comfortable with so I've ignored it. It seems like until the AT&T BL is unlocked that we shouldn't even have the Unified section linked here.

You have to unlock it. If you have an AT&T device it's locked.
This is the reason I'm using my upgrade to get a Nexus 6.

hate to burst your bubble but if you get the nexus 6 from AT&T it will also have a locked bootloader it is up in the air on whether or not it will be able to be unlocked. the only safe way to gaurentee an unlocked bootloader is to buy the nexus 6 unbranded direct from google.

Sending this on an unlocked nexus 6 from At&t. Not sure where u got that information but it's false. Upgraded from the S5 myself, no more locked down phones for me again.

im merely pointing out that everything i have read has pointed to it being locked (not that it cant be unlocked mind you) AT&T rarely sends devices with the bootloader unlocked whether or not you can unlock them is a different story. i merely stated that "From what i had read" sorry for the confusion
EDIT: in fact here is the thread stating it comes from AT&T locked but is unlockable
bl
and if at&t will want they can unlock BL right? or is there any way to ask them bl unlock?

They could unlock it yes, but they won't, they won't do it upon request either as far as I know.

Okay so I already searched and I can't find an answer to my question. I am planning to update my One to Lollipop once I get it back from repair. My brother had an AT&T branded one and he have flashed several ROMs from there. Except, that one broke and I am kind of hesitant to flash ROMs on mine. So as what the title says, will I have any problems if I flash a ROM from the international HTC One thread onto my Verizon HTC One?
Thank you!

Yes I am aware of that. So does that mean I cannot flash neither Viper nor Insert coin on this thing? How sad. One more thing, my One is already sim unlocked.

Yeah. I read it a while ago and I also PM'ed the developer of InsertCoin. Thank you for your answer. I'm just really scared of flashing ROMs on this thing now because my brother's AT&T M7 got bricked (or had a hardware problem or whatever) after I flashed a ROM for him and that really traumatized me lol.
