I never set one. I cannot call but only 911 sometimes can *2 but only for a second. cannot reset after 10 attempts, lock is persistent after flash of new rom and now i really messed up s back on and relocked bootloader. i can unlock bootloader again but since flashed new rom and reset device adb isnt on. have tried everything google got and searched for almost a year to no avail for a solution. PLEASE HELP. I AM NO NOOB. also have tryed the encryption bug fix too and nothing.....REWARD......

Have you tried a RUU? Hit the second link in my sig and read the RUU section. Then go to the thread in the link below and grab the RUU for software version 3.31.654.2 and run it from your computer.

I have tried several ruus not sure of versions with fail if i remember right error was something about security or permissions.. also cid was changed at some point, havent worked on phone in a month downloading your link now.

If you changed your CID then you're S-off and there is no need to relock your bootloader. You may need to change your CID back to stock (SPCS_004 in your case) if you continue to get errors while trying to run the RUU, however, I don't believe that will be necessary.
If you're wanting to go back totally stock & S-on, locked bootloader and all, check out the guide in the link below.

Ruu's flash successfully but device still boots locked. I was s off but returned device back to s on at some point. I can still re-lock and unlock bootloader, but i cannot return to s off because the Device has yet to enable ADB . Since every flash clears all settings after boot the developer settings are not even enabled because im locked out at first boot EVERY time I factory reset or flash a new Rom or ruu.
Please tell me something I havent tried yet. Something im missing? Im thinking about offering a reward to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

In the picture is something I haven't been able to find on than any other Harman Kardon m8. What password? Could it have possibly been a password set with my root anti-theft app AVAST?

If you select emergency call from the screen in the picture, does it bring up the dialer or just call 911?
If the dialer comes up, can you enter any ## or *# whatever type commands? Maybe reset it from there. ##72786# or ##786#

T-mobile G1 problem

I just bought a HTC G1 from an ebay user from USA.(I'm from Romania)
I did a hard reset on the phone and now when I put a sim I need to enter the unlock code and can`t turn wireless on if I chose not to enter the unlock code.
Are there any option on how to unlock the phone without the code, or to get past the 'fresh start' screen?
Two things you can do:
1st, contact the user back that sold you the G1. Ask them to obtain the unlock code from T-Mobile (USA) to send to you.
2nd, you can obtain the unlock code yourself by purchasing the unlock code from one of the site.
There are no option to unlock the phone without the unlock code. (as far as I know)
And what about the activation screen? how can i get past it?
Once you get the unlock code and put it in. You can activate your google account with your data plan. You might have to setup your APN setting thou.
Another thing you might or have to do is downgrade and root your phone. Then flash the custom ROM of your choice.
Done unlocking & activating, now it keeps restarting, what can I do? Also the battery lasts 1 day max
// also the screen remains black when I try to unlock (sometimes)

First you want to find out if you are still on stock or you have a custom ROM on your G1.
If you have stock, then you have to root your G1 first.
If you phone has a custom ROM then you G1 has already been rooted. You can load other ROM that you want.
I tried to update to 1.6 but it says error line 1 etc. all the time.
Please help
I`m on stock & when I try to root it says to force close app
Also, i`m running android 1.5 & marketplace is beta & I can`t see all the stuff
Ohh! Boy here we go. You'll need to downgrade to RC29 (since your G1 is from US). Don't worry about the unlock. Once unlocked it stay unlock.
First you want to get ADB setup on your PC and have it setup with your G1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Once you have that going then you can start with the downgrading to RC29. After you have downgraded, you will have to go through the activation screen again.
Once the activation screen is done, then you can do the rooting process.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-g1dream/
After you have rooted, then you can flash the custom ROM.
Done, the phone is rooted but now I have some other issues with it.
First, my earpiece dosen`t work
Second, my screen sometimes dosen`t come 'back to life' when I try to unlock it

[Q] Unlocking Bootloader Issue

Hello everyone,
I haven't run into this issue with my prior HTC One, but this one is giving me issues and I cannot find a solution. Hopefully someone can help out... I tried using the S-OFF revone method. It wasn't working, even though it said successful, my bootloader still said S-ON. So, giving up and going to moonshine's method I go to unlock my bootloader on this phone following the directions on HTC Dev's site to a tee, and the device still shows **** LOCKED ****. I attempted this process twice to no avail. I am not sure where to go from here.
When attempting the process a second time, I even downloaded a new Unlock_code.bin thinking the file could have been corrupted. I also ran command prompt as administrator.
The entire process appears to work, phone prompts to unlock, I press volume up to select "Yes unlock bootloader (may void warranty)" Press power to confirm, device is wiped and I am brought to the initial setup screen. Reboot the device and it still says **** LOCKED *****.
Exact same issue here.

Did you try revone before unlocking your bootloader? I wonder if something with revone corrupted something on our phones... I sure hope not...
Just as an added post:
I have tried clearing cache via fasboot erase cache, as well as doing a full factory reset, same issue.
I sure did try to get S-OFF unsuccessfully and then tried to unlock via HTC-Dev unsuccessfully. I'll be returning the handset to the store if this cannot be resolved, hehe.
I see you are also Aussie is your M7 an unbranded 64gb model by any chance?

Good luck with the new one! =) I am just going to sit here and keep running the revone software, as I have nothing else to lose at this point and hope I get a pass. I figure if I can get it to pass and succeed at S-OFF, maybe it will uncorrupt whatever happened.

Wanted to post a reply... After 4 hours of trying, I finally got it to work. S-OFF and unlocked bootloader! =D
Steps I took:
1.) adb push revone /data/local/tmp
2.) adb shell
3.) cd /data/local/tmp
4.) chmod 755 revone
5.) ./revone -P
At this point I kept getting all sorts of failures. It kept spamming about "Unable to map memory." I stayed within the SAME adb console, pressed the UP arrow to repeat the last command, and just kept repeating this process. Sometimes it would crash and just reboot the phone, sometimes it would give an error message saying I needed to reboot the phone.
I had to have repeated step 5, at least,without exaggerating, 40-50 times maybe even more. Finally, it said Success, Reboot phone to continue. I then followed the following:
6.) Rebooted phone.
7.) Closed my command prompt and opened a new prompt once phone was rebooted.
8.) adb shell
9.) cd /data/local/tmp
10.) ./revone -s 0 -u
It reported a success instantly. I pressed the power button on my phone and pressed restart. I held volume down and low and behold I was finally granted the S-OFF and Unlocked status!!!!! I'm ecstatic!
That's deadly bro well done for persisting, I already got a replacement too so looks like both of us are winners, I'll try your mothod but not before HTC Dev unlock.
Regards
EDIT: New unit will not except unlock code either and this is before trying s-off, very strange I shall contact HTC and find out what is going on.
Wow... I thought it was revone, as I don't usually believe in coincidence. Lol. Seems HTC has some sort of issue, maybe generating corrupted Unlock_code.bin files... Good luck when you contact them!

[Q] Fully Stock HTC One M7

So I have a fully stock HTC One and have spent all night trying to unlock the bootloader. Nothing seems to work I have never rooted this phone, everything I have read makes it seem as if it's impossible. I've tried the adb/fastboot, htcdev, and changing CID methods. Plus I have read of various other ways that already require a root. Which I cannot do seeing how I am still locked and S-ON.
To be honest I'm at the edge and I think I'm just going to give up. I'm on 4.2.2 - hboot 1.54. I was a previous owner of the Thunderbolt which was not a bad phone, I rooted that and everything no questions asked. Although I do remember HTC taking the longest for OTA updates, not a huge fan of HTC.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to unlock the bootloader I will be fine from there. I'm positive I have all the right equipment and prerequisites just not sure if I really am at the end of the road.
Anything useful goes a long way right now.
Thanks.....

Is urs the AT&T One? Then the bootloader unlock process is different. If urs is the standard international SIM unlocked, then ideally you should see a splash after you run the bootloader unlock command, which prompts you to unlock the bootloader. Please state what exactly ur issue is when u try to bootloader unlock
I'm with Verizon but it just gives me a 1 line error message doesn't run through anything else or load up anything. I type in "bootloader oem unlock" or whatever after clearly identifying my device is connected with "adb device" and nothing happens. It takes about 0.14 sec and says something along the lines of "[ERRORR] ......" after running again it takes 0.00 sec and says same thing, I can screenshot if you think it would be more helpful.
Please help, I appreciate both responses. Just really want this to work.

Help for a noob

Hello, firstable congratulations to everyone to made an awesome forum, page, etc...
Im from Mexico and I have a HTC one M8 Sprint and I use it on GSM band
a guy sold me with a program named teamwin this program appears when I try to install the new version
I already have the 4.4.3 android version, 6.0 sense and 2.16.651.4 sofware version
and my doubt is can I make any modd to my celphone? I guess that's sounds pretty obviously but I'm new on the topic
I remember I can modd a sony ericsson telephones (like w600) but now Im so noob on the celphone topics.
I like learn new things and I only asking for your help, maybe if you can help me I appreciate that
All the links you can give me will be readed 100% for sure.:good:
So greetings for everyone and again please help me to get this cellphone a new life :laugh:
Hold down power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons and only hold vol down. Don't let go, until you see a white screen with various info on it. This it the bootloader. If the phone simply reboots to OS or Safe Mode, you just had bad timing of the button combo. Repeat the process until you see the bootloader screen.
On the bootloader screen, does it say RELOCKED, UNLOCKED, or LOCKED near the top?
Does it say Software modified, or official?
Does it say s-off or s-on?

You need to update the firmware, to do much of any mods (like current ROMs).
You can do so by either:
1) Finding the proper stock nandroid and stock recovery, then OTA update to latest version.
2) Relock the bootloader, and use latest Sprint RUU (will wipe the phone).

In your first post, you ask about doing mods. Now you are saying you are afraid to. So I have no idea what your comfort level, what you are willing to accomplish, etc.
As long as you are willing to learn, put in some time reading and understanding, and follow instructions carefully, there isn't much to be afraid of. Any mods to the phone involve some risk. But the risk of permanent damage (a true "brick") are minimal. The worst that is likely to happen, is the phone fails to boot, and you may need to troubleshoot for an hour to 2 to get it back running. But that happens to just about anyone that mods phones, at some time or other. Its just part of the game.
But in the phone's current condition, something needs to be done by you, in order to update the phone in any way; whether it be by official means (RUU or OTA) or custom ROM. Otherwise, it will be stuck on Android 4.4.3 as it is now.

Not sure what you are asking, are you wondering if any additional hardware is needed? You will need a computer for either method I stated, plus the sync cable that came with the phone (or other charge/data cable). PC is required for Method #2.
Yes for sure Im reading the past days about the topic and the fears I guess its for my phone became to an expensive brick, but I want to do this, I sent you a PM and I read your answer sorry for do that.
And finally about the last quote, I mean the M8 its originally sprint (on the starts screen says) so I want to know if its possible make the unblock totally to use on any company of the world or the country (Mexico) above than GSM, maybe 3G or in the best way 4G

So it sounds like you already using the phone on Movistar, just not with 3G or 4G?
There is a mod to unlock bands, which seems to work on your Sprint CDMA version (from what I understand). But it requires s-off ($25 by sunshine app) and is a slightly more complicated mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/unlock-bands-qualcomm-device-phone-t2880239
So if you are unsure about doing what I've previously described; the mod to unlock bands is definitely the next level beyond that. Mods done with s-off are more risky, and can actually brick the phone (render it permanently unusable).
Whatever you do, do NOT try to flash another carrier/region versions radio, firmware, RUU, etc. in an attempt to change the band support. You may see some recommendations to that effect. But this does NOT work on the Sprint version, and will probably BRICK your phone.
Sorry I think I don't give my idea correctly, my English is not good.
I wonder if you can make my htc have the most updated software and if it is possible to use other phone network than the GSM because since I buyed (used) has the same software, the same HTC Sense and I could only use the internet GSM mobile network
My phone is

So I would like to write the correct idea because your help it's usefull for me

Updating the software is a completely separate matter from the phone's band support (3G and LTE bands the phone is compatible with).
I already told you how to update the software, in Post #4 above.
To see if the phone will work with your carrier's 3G or LTE network, you first need to know what 3G and 4G band (or bands) they use for each. Can't really do anything without that basic info. Either research online, or call your carrier and ask them. This is something you should have done before buying the phone; as changing to the proper band support is not always possible.

Sprint M8 supports 3G bands 850 and 1900.
Are you sure you entered your carrier's APN info correctly?
Did you try the SIM card in another phone, to make sure the SIM works for 3G?

yes I use the right APN settings but when I bought the guy who sold it to me also told me it was unblock for any company here in Mexico but the problem is that you could not upgrade because when the file is downloaded and is installed, the phone enters into recovery mode and can not be or I do not know if it's my mistake, you can not install at all
He say that if I upgrade or modify the phone I can lose part of the unblock of the phonel and it became unusable here in Mexico
I screwed a lot
I don't know what I did wrong on the process of re-stock the phone and now don't start.
only shows the white screen with HTC green logo.
I rememberd when I try to wipe I check all the options and "I swipe to wipe" later when the phone will be reboot
shows me a message about the superU and I install (because already has it)
I was scared and search about this and only found a way to enter on bootloader and says this
*Tampered*
*Relocked*
Well, 6 hours later I have this now:
*Tampered*
**Unlocked**
m8_WHL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.18.0.0000
OS-2.16.651.4
eMMC-boot 2048MB
but when I unlock the bootloader (here's the tutorial of bootloader http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader)
I see the recovery mode once but when I try to do the next step (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2755657)
I can not start the recovery mode and I don't do any of progression
Also I can see an message saying me the phone hasn't any OS file so I guess that's the reason I can make it start, only turn on and shows the same white screen with HTC logo, I can entered to Bootloader and FASTBOOT but when I select recovery the phone returns to HBOOT and when I turn off and later turn on happen the same (entered directly to HBOOT screen)
Im a bit concerned about that I hope you can teach me how
*Edited now I can enter to recovery I relocked and unlocked again and I can enter again to recovery and bootloader, please help me to put the files of OS
maybe with a SD card?
Return to stock
Hi Erbat,
first of all it would be nice to get an overview of your device and its versions, you can do this by doing the fastboot command "fastboot getvar all"
The most important version wich you already have is your OS 2.16.651.4, everything what you try to flash to your device if you want to return to stock should match this number or it will mostly fail.
So at this point forget about the Guide with official OTA updates and root access, because its for 4.16.401.10 and you should mainly focus on returning to stock without root to get new updates (easier)
I dont know how much knowledge you already have but just to mention:
Every OS with 2.16.651.4 is for your Sprint version, this means all of the files without 651 will lead in the wrong direction.
Later when you use a RUU ("official" files to return to stock firmware) or a nandroid backup (stock backup created by other users), the files and backups you will find have to match exactly to your OS Version 2.16.651.4 to work.
So at the moment you should focus on returning your device back to stock firmware and OS first, after that you can recieve official OTA updates from HTC :good:
The tutorials/threads you should focus on are mainly these two:
[GUIDE][S-ON] Restore your (European) HTC One M8 back to stock
[tutorial] How to get back on stock with TWRP Stock Nandroid Backups
Edit: You can't use your recovery, because if i understood this right you got TWRP (a custom recovery) before and might have corrupted/deleted it, simply flash the newest version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 with the fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery *NAME-OF_RECOVERY*.img"

Hi Erbat,
first of all it would be nice to get the an overview of your device and its versions, you can do this by doing the fastboot command "fastboot getvar all"
The most important version wich you already have is your OS 2.16.651.4, everything what you try to flash to your device if you want to return to stock should match this number or it will mostly fail.
So at this point forget about the Guide with official OTA updates and root access, because its for 4.16.401.10 and you should mainly focus on returning to stock without root to get new updates (easier)
I dont know how much knowledge you already have but just to mention:
Every OS with 2.16.651.4 is for your Sprint version, this means all of the files without 651 will lead in the wrong direction.
Later when you use a RUU ("official" files to return to stock firmware) or a nandroid backup (stock backup created by other users), the files and backups you will find have to match exactly to your OS Version 2.16.651.4 to work.
So at the moment you should focus on returning your device back to stock firmware and OS first, after that you can recieve official OTA updates from HTC :good:

OK I will try to do those things you've post here.
So tonight before I went to sleep the recovery says I don't have OS installed, that's so confusing because I don't know how install it again, I'm pretty noob so I (if you can do it) explain me a lot to do.
Yesterday already learn to use fastboot and the files and those things to do on the computer, I like to learn and more if is for recover my phone :laugh:

I know it looks pretty bad for a "noob" if he got no OS on his device and it won't boot anymore, but don't worry as long as you get your phone into fastboot mode you can fix everyting :fingers-crossed:

I can't do anything on cmd, my phone hasn't battery today and when I try to do fastboot getvar all say wating for your device and yesterday obviously don't say this
I need wait to 30%? I guess I have readed this before
Charge it up, restart everything (pc) and try again. You can use "fastboot devices" wich will list all devices connected in fastboot mode (ofc you must choose fastboot in bootloader menu first)
Next could be that you have HTC sync active witch might block something -> uninstall HTC sync
Otherwise you might have driver problems, if so, uninstall htc drivers and sync and reinstall HTC sync to get new drivers. -> uninstall sync only again (maybe reboot)
If all this does not work search for specific fastboot drivers for the M8 and try it with them

You should never wipe any of the partitions in the TWRP "Advanced" menu, unless you know exactly that they mean, and what the result will be (those options are called "Advanced" for good reason!). Even if the phone was properly working before, what you did was to wipe the OS (system partition) and make it stop working!
Further, you wiped any backup files and personal data that may have been on internal storage or the removable SD.
Simple rule when modding the phone: Do not experiment or make up your own solutions (will almost always fail and possibly make matter worse); and only do exactly what is directed to you from the proper guides, reputable "helpers", etc.

Can't help you, if you don't tell us exactly what you did: step by step, in specific detail, with links to the files you are trying to use, exact file names, etc.
If you don't tell us what you did, we can't see what you did wrong.

This guide has nothing to do with returning to stock, and is not for your version of the M8.
Nothing good can come of this; for what you are trying to do.
If you didn't know what you were doing, you should have stopped and asked. Learning and reading is good (and I applaud the effort), but don't do anything unless you are sure about it. In your case particular (due to your lack of knowledge/experience) I'd recommend not do anything unless we specifically direct you to. You seem to be going down the wrong roads, and just want to make sure we mitigate that now.

The phone needs to be powered on, and in bootloader-fastboot mode for any fastboot commands to work.
Charge the phone for a few hours, and try again.
We need to get fastboot working, to move forward at all.

Need help, stuck in welcome settings screen.

So I messed up with trying to get my phone to global rom without unlocking the bootloader.
A little backstory: I have an 1062 which had an android 8.1, I didn't have my bootloader unlocked.
So I've tried to make my phone Global by using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-to-convert-nokia-7-china-variant-to-t3769541 . I think it was done successfully and my phone instatly asked me to update to the newer android, so I did it. It was a 1.4 gb update and after it was done I was welcomed by a default android settings screen which asked me to log in to my google account. So I tried and found out that my touch doesn't work at all. I can see the animation that says Welcome and I my phone reacts to Volume up\down and power buttons, but no reaction to my fingers whatsoever. I've tried wiping in the recovery mode, it didn't help.
I can't even find out my imei or get my Rom version.
Is there anything that can help? I'm obviously willing to get my bootloader unlocked if I can get my Imei and rom vers.
