Like the title states, would like to hire someone to convert an unlocked m7, new in box to gpe. I'm coming from a nexus 4, which I was able to tinker with myself. However I'm not confident in attempting on this phone. I'm located in dutchess county NY, would rather do local. But I would ship to a reputable member if necessary. If interested, you can pm me here, or email me chris20nyyatgmail. Thanks!

Would you be happier if someone here just guided you through it step by step? There are some awesome devs here who I'm sure would be happy to try and help and Gove you steps along the way. Also, there are some very well written guides on here that you can follow, asking questions here along the way and get some info if you are stuck
So if you would be happy doing it that way, we can guide you through it here!
Make sure you have a working laptop and a good USB cable, using 2.0 ports and preferably Windows 7, with working/up to date drivers and adb files
Well 2 problems. I've read the tutorials, watched the videos, and am still not confident lol. The main concern is getting s-off. The other issue is I only have a macbook working at the moment. That's why I figured I'd give in and have someone do it for me. Its not worth risking IMO, I'd rather pay someone with the expertise to do it.
I genuinely appreciate the offer however! I just don't have the confidence. Sometimes things just seem beyond skill level, and you have to swallow your pride lol
I have no problem guiding you over the phone or skype! It is a piece of cake ! If you read the tutorial and just scared to brick your phone, i dont think itll happen! Done it to 5 HTCs!

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.
thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

Oh, and also, this is the wrong forum to be posting this. Next time post in the Q&A or General forum.
If you can do it over the phone, you're in 'cause I panic when something doesn't go right I like to ask questions immediately.
Any chance I'll brick the damn thing?

Oh, if you can also talk me through how to hook up the HD2 in windows mobile to my pc so I can download the ringtones from there (unless someone has them and can e mail them to me), it's worth an easy 20 bucks to me (paypal?).
I assume i can use the ringtones from the hd2 on the nexus?

There are 2 ways of modifying your phone.
1) Root it. You get the benefits of being able to run apps that require root but don't have to unlock the bootloader.
2) Unlock it. Unlocking it lets you run different ROMs. Something other than the stock android. Example, Cyanogen Mod. It's a modified custom build of android with lots of nifty things. But it might void your warranty by Unlocking it.
I'd suggest just going with ROOTing it. It's easier, less fuss, less to worry about and it doesn't void the warranty.

Are you on skype?
I got it from Negri Electronics and it IS unlocked already but NOT rooted.
I need to root it to get this font size program installed 'cause my eyesight sucks. That's really the main reason.
Yeah, I like nifty things too and I hate being tied down by locked stuff and so on so I'd like to open it and do whatever I want with it.
As for the warranty, I understood from Negri that HTC/Google covered the warranty and I THINK, that I could buy insurance through t mobile but checking on that.
Also, for those of you who are interested, Negri also sells t mobile contracts/by month contracts or whatever you call it.

NOpe, no skype and I don't have microphones on my computer anyway but I'll be happy to call pretty much anywhere.
If it's international, it's dirt cheap through google phone/voice
For those who haven't tried it, go to google.com/voice but before you do, ask me for a few pointers first. Bitc*in' service from Google and it's free.

the post directly below the screen shot on their facebook says htc one jtag and communicating. That's not hacking.
If I remember right, I used them to repair a bricked HD2. It required being taken apart and the ROM flashed directly to the board. I think that was 40 bucks.
When I got it back the volume down stopped working. They claimed it was messed up when I sent it, which is partly true but it still functioned. When I got it back it didn't at all. They stopped responding to my questions and requests.
They got it working again but were a bit rude.. won't be using them again.

I don't understand why people are so heated about this, they're independent people who get to make their own choices. Android and open source in general have great traditions of devs doing their work for free, but that hardly means that every dev owes it to the community to work pro bono.
If you haven't donated to a dev on your own, you really shouldn't be offended about this.

If you want to understand why people are mad, you need to understand the culture a little better. Go read the GPL (and maybe other related open source licences). I'm not saying that it applies to this; just that open source is no where near as open as most people believe it to be.

Not necessarily, you don't make money if people aren't willing to pay. I can only assume that most people on forums like this are less likely to send there phone out to be s-offed,and just wait until one of these amazing devs posts a tutorial(once accomplished). If you mean they would make more money if they don't, by they are hoping people will brick there devices trying, then yes i agree then they would make a lot of money off of that. I do believe Share is Caring...unless its a completely original idea then charge.

How do you get straight talk to work on a sprint HTC ONE (M7)?
People claim it's either possible or impossible, but I am tired of reading through the multiple threads of ignorant idiots stating thing's that are simply not true.
If you cannot provide proof or a detailed step by step guide on how to accomplish this, then please refrain from typing out your ignorance, this thread is for those who have a Sprint HTC One and would like to use it for straight talk and those who have accomplished this for them to share.
Thank you.

FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.
I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.
