Hi:
I am trying to unlock an old MetroPCS HTC Desire 626s for my daughter to use. I followed the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/general/how-to-sim-unlock-htc-desire-626s-t-t3317734 however, the phone is not unlocked. That thread is now locked so I could not reply to it.
Yes I followed the instructions in that thread and I verified it was completed by dumping the partition again and it now matches the "Unlocked" file.
Any updates on unlocking this phone for free?
Carrier: MetroPCS
Device: HTC Desire 626s (a32e)
Rom: Stock OTA 6.0.1 (2.17.1550.1)
Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
Custom Recovery: Yes (TWRP 3.1.1-0)
Root: Yes
S-Off: NO
Now run the unlocking software

So I have a developer edition HTC One, and it comes bootloader unlocked. So I tried a few ROMs and decided to go back to stock and I needed to lock the bootloader to run RUU. So I did fastboot OEM lock, and now the bootloader says relocked. So I want to do the Google Edition Conversion and I have no idea on how to unlock a relocked bootloader. Reading that back to my self it sounds ridiculous but any help would be amazing. Thank you.
You would need to unlock it like if it was locked from HTC. Go to HTC dev's website and follow the process to get an unlock token. It gives step by step instructions.

I have a friend who asked me to root his HTC One M7 from sprint. I told him yes, and when I explained that we had to unlock the bootloader, it would wipe his phone clean. Well after that he told me it is flashed to PagePlus. If I go to unlock the bootloader so I can root it, will the phone lose its compatibility with PagePlus? Plus can anyone direct me to a good tutorial for unlocking the bootloader and rooting this phone?! Thanks in advance!!!!
Saw someone said that there's no difference between the cdma version of htc 510 and the gsm version. So I think it can be sim unlocked just like the htc one m7/m8.
Here's what I've tried.
First unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/
Then root the device as this post:

Then following the htc one unlock procedure as this post:

Since 510 has 4.4.2, so a modified HtcOMADM_SPCS is needed. That's where I got stuck. The modified file shared on the forum causes vDM client crashes, and no API pop out.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. any ideas?
you have S-OFF ?
This device has lots of potential, maybe we should offer a bounty for this.
I just got an HTC One M7. I want to root it vs using WeakSauce. I don't want to S-Off and unlock the bootloader since root can be cleared, unlocked bootloader cannot. Any methods I'm missing?
Thanks

First and foremost, My One M8 is S-On but so far I haven't had any problems with it. Had TWRP and Xposed installed before and did a Full RUU wipe and OTA'd to Marshmallow. As far as I am aware of there isn't a current root method yet? Did anyone successfully unlocked their bootloader? It seemed that Sprint or HTC removed "Enable OEM Unlock" in the developer section. When I tried to unlock the bootloader, my phone only boots to FASTBOOT USB. No more Unlock bootloader page with the Yes or No. Do I have to request a new Unlock_code.bin from HTC?
