Verizon Droid Incredible 2 in America = HTC S710D in China.
Offical homepage: http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Rom required: 3.06.1401.0
From website:
It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty. Please note that unlocking your bootloader does not mean that you will be able to unlock the SIM lock. Unlocking your SIM lock is at the discretion of your operator/carrier and is not part of the bootloader unlocking scope.
Our devices have been designed with our hardware and software specifications in mind and unlocking the bootloader will change the software and may cause unexpected side effects. It is impossible for HTC to ensure the proper functioning of your device after this. In the worst case scenario, it is possible that your device may be physically damaged due to overheating or the behavior of your device might be altered including, but not limited to, hearing aid compatibility (HAC) and specific absorption rate (SAR) values.
Some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed any more because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC. Furthermore, although you will still be able to receive updates to your device via FOTA (“firmware over the air”), we do not guarantee that updating your device via FOTA will not render your device unusable. Please understand that you will not be able to return your device to the original state and going forward your device may not be held covered under the warranty for all claims resulting from the unlocking of the bootloader. HTC bears no responsibility if your device is no longer usable afterwards.
HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, due to some of our carrier customers concerns, certain models with specific restrictions may not be able to be unlocked. Please refer to our list of supported devices to see if your device is eligible for unlocking the bootloader.
We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved. This is a technical procedure and the side effects could possibly necessitate repairs to your device not covered under warranty. If you are still interested in unlocking the bootloader, and you understand the consequences both to your device and to your warranty, then you may refer to the following pages where we have provided the unlocking instructions.

This looks like it only for the China Telecom version. HTC will only unlock devices with carrier approval. I haven't tested (already S-Off), but I don't believe it will work for the US version.

Didn't work on my Inc2
This is what was returned after I submitted my Fastboot identifier to get an unlock code...
Error Code: 170.
Error Reason: CID Not Allowed.

It's all good, you should NEVER rush anything with root. You most likely skipped over the part that if it did work, there is no way to reverse it, AND since they now know you are rooted, warranties are voided, and they can probably know when you are stealing wireless tether.
Not too mention, we got root, awhile ago.

And if its anything like the htc evo3d unlock its not really a true unlock. I know some of the evo guys that went the official route could not even flash kernels. Just my two cents but i would use revolutionary or xtc clip

yea it isn't a full nand lock like say the XTC clip, the sim is still locked.

Yes that's what I thought. You willingly void your warranty and you don't even get the full advantages. If I wasn't rooted and my phone came with 2.3.4 I would wait on an exploit or use a clip. But to each his own I guess

It's Offical below:
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

Someone has tested on his S710D(S-ON).
After unlock, he can flash any recovery, diy roms with root.
Radio can't be flash.

Back to stock

Hey guys,
I'm currently running ADHD 1.2.3 on my hox. I was silly enough to not make a nandroid backup and so I wanted to find out how to get back to stock so I can receive the ota update. I have a rough idea after searching but really don't fancy bricking my phone. The process using a ruu is a little confusing.

How about the warranty? Is HTC gonna be able to find out that you unlocked it and then relocked it again?

A lot of people think that you will lose your warranty unlocking the bootloader. This is not true.
If you brick your device as a result of flashing roms etc... then HTC will tell you to jog on. If your phone develops a hardware fault or anything else then they will honor the warranty.

I just had this conversation with them today that states otherwise:
Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...
You have been connected to Luke.
Ricardo Amaral: Hi Luke
Ricardo Amaral: Are you there?
Luke: Hi Ricardo, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.
Luke: Sorry my PC did not notify me
Ricardo Amaral: No problem.
Luke: What questions do you have regarding HTC Dev?
Ricardo Amaral: I'm aware that unlocking the bootloader through htcdev.com voids the warranty, correct?
Luke: that is correct
Ricardo Amaral: Does it completely void the warranty or just partial? I mean, if I have some kind of hardware problem, like many that have been plaguing the One X, unfortunately, is the warranty sill void in such situations?
Ricardo Amaral: *still
Luke: The whole warranty will be void. All repairs are chargeable
Ricardo Amaral: Hum... Someone contacted HTC with this same inquiry and they told him otherwise. That's why I wanted to double-check.
Luke: I did double check then with my supervisor
Luke: I am 100% sure it will void all your warranty
Ricardo Amaral: Ok, glad I could clarify that.
Ricardo Amaral: About unlocking the bootloader through htcdev.com, is the process reversible or not at all?
Luke: It is not reversible, once you have unlocked the phone it will remain that way
Ricardo Amaral: About S-OFF, I assume it also voids the warranty?
Luke: Yes this will still void the warranty
Ricardo Amaral: I think that's it for now.
Ricardo Amaral: Thank you for your time

[Q] Uninstall SuperCID 11111111

Hi,
I need to send my One X to HTC for wifi problem, so I unroot my one x, reflash stock recovery and stock rom, bootloader relocked.
But I have the super cid 11111111, do I have it because my One X is unlocked or it's come with a rom ? (I had Android Revolution HD, Cyangen Mod 9 beta and insertcoin) if yes, how to remove superCID and superCID void warranty ?
Here is a screenshot:

That's really weird and interesting.....would talk to people at s-off thread as they know a lot
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Okay but I'm in S-ON...
And Do SuperCID may void the warranty ?

Did your phone come with that CID or did you somehow get it after the flashing ?

Why not overwrite supercid by trying
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC_001
Note: this cid is from my unbranded device, You probably want to get a cid that better matches your region. But I dont think HTC is gonna care what your cid is as long as your bootloader says relocked, your warranty is gone anyways.

Were you able to change the CID back to the stock CID using this method?

I believe the devs looking for s-off are looking for a phone which has supercid but is s-on, why don't you report your phone in that thread maybe one of the devs is willing to trade phones with you?

Having Super CID will not void your warranty and has absolutely nothing to do with the HTC Dev unlock method. If you're sending it in to have it fixed and expect to get the same unit back I would definitely NOT try writing a new CID over it. Apparently you just got one of the rare Super CID units that get shipped out here and there. It's a good thing not a bad thing.

+1 Willieumm! Sometimes we get lucky and score big!

My HOX is a very rare HOX ?
I haven't try to overwrite for now because I've have still my one x. I'm waiting for the first of July.
And if I send it to HTC do I have always the "rare s-on with supercid" ?

Hi Will!
Any luck selling your DROID RAZR??

Htc one sv - question

Hi I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I bought the above phone and when I turn it on it seems to be some sort of development phone , and when I look at things like software information it says protected next to it. What I was wondering is will I be able to update this phone normally as and when software is available or will I have any sorts of problems or restrictions with it?
Thanks in advance.

Its possible it's been rooted and s-off, it's best to look in your app drawer and look for a app called "su" or turn off phone the hold vol down and power at the same time. You will go into boot loader, at the top if it say "s-off" then it's rooted and no way to do official updates but that's ok rooted /custom roms are better

Yes it means it didnt go through HTC Dev Unlock,(phone is still factory unlocked) and you have engineer Hboot(s-off) also you are SUPERCID, either a stock rom got flashed and removed "SU" or it could be called "superuser" check if you have that

Well the previous owner never did HTC Unlock, cause it would say "relocked" if he did a relock on the phone

Definitely no super user or su
So I should be unlocked for any network .
Does it matter if the boot loader is locked?
When I look at things like software version or processor etc it says protected , do you know why?
Also are there any Roms for this phone already do you know.

no that is Sim Unlock, SUPERCID and S-off means you are region free from the phone(superCID), and you have Fastboot capabilites(s-OFF)
i dont know if there is Roms for your phone, best choice is to google SV or do a search in here, if there is no SU or Superuser app next check if you have a custom recovery if you do then it will be very simple for you to flash a rom on to your phone, if you dont then there is some steps you need to do before you can do so
--------------------------edit-------------------
this is throwing me off a little bit, there is no real forums for the One SV, and i only found one root method, to even have s-off with a locked bootloader is weird, you may actually have a Developer Phone,

Is custom recovery an app? If so I don't have it. Or will it be in settings somewhere?

Not a app Hmm i say for now boot into android and hang till dev comes in and see what he says bout it, but what you are describing and what im looking at this could be really a developers phone from HTC
i could be compeletely wrong on that but it seems it is, as there is no s-off for it not any i could find, and the fact your hboot is still "locekd"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671

Most probably a dev phone. I thought at first that it could a test unit or an unreleased version but when I read mfg kernel my doubt was gone. Mfg allows even more stuff so there's still a chance you won't even need boot unlock even if it says otherwise. Keep in mind I'm just speculating.
A full backup of partitions could be handy for devs.

Its a test unit. One that has an eng hboot oddly enough. It does no good to achieve s-off but it does allow an eng hboot to be flashed once s-off is achieved. I have a surefire way to s-off the sv but can't get a tester

Unlockable Bootloader?

Anyone hear anything on this yet?

Razer already stated it would be an unlocked bootloader. Can't find video but it's mentioned in one of the first hands on

To me, that sounds more like that it is going to be unlockable but it won't shipped unlocked.

I saw somewhere the bootloader can be unlocked via the developer options menu? iirc In a menu though..

It ships _carrier unlocked_ (sim).
Bootloader is unlocked by the user in dev options on the phone, should the user so choose to do so. Voids the warranty.
Rooting the phone is up to the user, but also voids the warranty, as the reply in the image says.

There will maybe a option to enable unlocking the bootloader.
This will not unlock the bootloader, it will only enable the command to unlock it I think.
Like on the oneplus.

If you live in the EU, unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone - wont void the warranty, if you have a hardware related fault.

I do find the EU has better consumer protection than the US.
What companies can do here while taking your money? Uh ya, that's one reason I bet the USA is becoming a big laughing stock of the world.

YMMV But from what I've seen with a few other companies, if the repair is hardware related and not software they almost never actually care if its bootloader locked or not. Can't say Razer/Nextbit would be the same though.

Ya I've not dealt with razer for the laptops. I know for my mouse and keyboard record, they're good on responding, synapse updates happen fast enough to almost be annoying, hardware seems decent, though about 20% fails after the first year. (though I found out later the mouse doesn't actually fail, it's electric "char" that builds up on the metal switch internally because it's so thin)
Got the phone otw though, pretty excited. Can't wait for the analytics to start trickling in to see what we can do with this beast.

I have one already. It works. Just tried it. Bootloader unlocked.

Now if we can figure out how to root it while we wait for a TWRP Port.
Looks like all we need is a copy of the boot.img. Then we can patch it using Magisk.

That's not how you unlock the bootloader, that setting is part of the process and enables the ability for you to unlock the bootloader via fastboot.

You would not be able to select that option if the bootloader was unable to be unlocked. It unlocks the first key. If that key is unlocked, then fastboot oem unlock bootloader can work. So it is valid proof that it's unlockable.

Right, I didn't dispute that but he said "Bootloader unlocked" which at that point, it was not. If it was, that setting would be greyed out and it would say "Bootloader is already unlocked"

The three questions I asked when the phone was announced, and finally weeks later they are answered
