Yes, AAHK is retired. You can try to SIM unlock manually, but it's only recommended for advanced users. Manual instructions are on the AAHK website.

Unlocking the bootloader isn't going to SIM unlock the phone. Those are two different things. I mean this: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411.

yes thats the guide i was trying to follow but the first step was to get htcdev unlock then get root.
and thats where i got stuck, i have no idea on how to get root on 2.3.5
Ah, I see. Sorry, I'm not going to walk you through that entire procedure. I've never done it before. Bootloader unlock, recovery flash, and root flash are covered here on the forums if you search. If you can't figure that out I don't recommend that you try to continue; that procedure is for advanced users.

sorry dudette, arrived from plane flight now, still happy about it and the tiredness is setting in now since i got no sleep last night
Anyone here who successfully unlocked their S3 with a 4.3 firmware? I'm in another country right now aand I really want to use my S3 here. Even downgrading to 4.1.1 will do? Please help me fellows. Even unlocking with rooting will do. I will root my device if it is the only chance of unlocking it.
Another question is, if I installed a custom rom on it, will it be Unlocked already?
Thank you in advance guys.
There is no free unlock for a phone running the 4.3 ROM. You have to be on stock 4.1.1 and since you're on 4.3, you can't use Odin to install a stock 4.1.1 ROM.
Installing a custom ROM will not unlock the phone.
Anyone knows where i could buy an unlock code for my phone? I really want to unlock it.

I unlocked a S3 on 4.3 yesterday.
I had to use this site : http://www.cellunlocker.net/?gclid=CLO87q2VurwCFYVDMgod70kA_g
I looked around, ebay/other site, and this one had good reviews.
One of the cheapest, even if it was 34$ tax-in...
But it worked!
Dont try republic (http://www.unlock-code-republic.com/), my friend tried it 3 times and hard locked his phone. (it might be his fault, I dont know)
It was only 7.50$, but it didnt work. You can try if you want, but...

Will there be an additional tax if i ordered in cellunlocker.net? I inquired on their website and it says my phone will cost $14.99? Is that all or will there be an additional tax? Ill be using paypal to pay them. Sorry, too newbie in international online buying and newbie for my s3. Thanks in advance guys.
i just want to know if there is already a fix to unlock my phone? or anyone here knows if cellunlocker is really legit?

From what I have read on XDA and other forums, that method only works with a completely stock 4.1.1 ROM. The 4.1.1 bootloader is required too.
OP, in order to use an unlock code, it would be best if your phone is running a stock ROM.
[Q] Radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Is this normal? Need help
I just recently purchased the m8. I did lots of research learning everything I could before doing any modding. So today I decided to unlock my boot-loader so it was my first time getting into recovery. But when I get into recovery I see both radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Its never been modified and I got it from t mobile and was the first to open the device. Not a second hand phone. Is this normal? I've been googling for hours and cant find any information. Its been sort of difficult getting any help in the htc M8 help threads honestly. If anyone can shed any information I would greatly appreciate it. I haven't noticed any thing wrong with my phone out of the box and everything about the functionality of the phone has been stellar.

In the bootloader screen it says invalid ver info next to both. I want to know if this is normal on an unmodified device. I dont want to mod my phone with it saying invalid version next to radio and opendsp.

I think something is off on that phone. I unlocked and s-offed mine and the only thing different was the os is blank but everything else was fine.
But if u have no actual problems with cell reception or audio then maybe u just need to update the firmware to latest after u s-off and that Will fix u up. More than likely.
Let me know I have done a lot on my phone allready. I even switched it to a dev edition just to get the 4.4.3 firmware and then flashed my backup back to my Rom of choice.
I'll help if I can. I notice there ain't many people helping on this forum there all on the international forum

I appreciate that. I just didn't want to s-off since I dont do any heavy modding. I was just gonna unlock the boot-loader, install custom recovery root and flash arhd. I don't think this is normal either for a brand new phone that hasn't been touched software wise. I might go exchange it at t mobile. This is my screen

I understand about the s-off but really it's the best thing to do because if something ever goes wrong there will be nothing stopping u from fixing it.
Also I was gonna suggest taking it back but they might trip on the unlocked bootloader and if u fastboot oem lock it Will say relocked. So they will know. But it's worth a try. T-Mobile doesn't seem like they know anything about technical stuff. so if you try to explain to them they might look at you like they don't know what your talking about.
I seen the picture if it is still locked take it back. And show them
Your firmware is allready the latest so that's a factory f-up.

More than likely. I got charged 50 bucks one time and I couldn't even fight it because they sent it in and my Bill went up I wondered why so I asked and they said because of modifications all they did was exchange it but I still had to pay. Try it or relock it and do the ruu for that firmware. And see if it will take off the tampered flag and fix the ver info

So then u never flashed recovery yet. So u should try to take it back.
If they are tripping just tell them the facts that the software was not properly installed on device.

No apology needed. Thank you for helping me out. I was able to s-off and get everything back to stock. Boot loader locked not "relocked" , s-on, unrooted. But the "invalid version" message was still there. I just came back from the tmobile store and they ran some diagnostics and said there was a problem with the software. They exchanged it for me and I checked it before I left the store and this one is perfect. I even asked for them to run the same diagnostics and everything checked out fine. I'm gonna do even a little more research before modding this one. I'm a little nervous now ..lol....but again thank you!!! I really love the M8. I came from the galaxy note 3 from att and sadly att locks the boot-loader on it. I love the note 3 just not on AT&T. I'm trying to sell my AT&T note 3 to buy a tmo version.

That's great problem solved.
now u know u got a good device.
I love the m8 too. I got mine first day it came out at T-Mobile.
First thing I did was unlock and s-off then recovery and root. Till some roms came out then I went to Bad Seed Customs Rom and that's it.
I've tried a lot of the roms even the new stock with elementalx kernel will last all day.
There's a whole lot u can do but most of the info is in the international forum.
Anyways glad I could help.

Probably not but everybody just gets to unlocking and s-offing so fast they probably don't notice.
It's probably just the ones coming with that firmware out of the box.
When I got mine it had a different version.
Hi guys! I've been trying for a while to find a post where I can find exactly what I want but I can't, so I don't know if it's possible. The thing is, I've an M8 with "Vodafone" in Spain (Android 4.4.4). Yesterday I unlocked it by code and know I want to flash an original stock firmware (GOD, it was a way easier with my old Xperia Z2) so that I can get Lollipop and erase all Vodafone's rubbish forever. However, I don't know if this is possible. I've seen that my cid must be HTC_00*** but I hace "VODAP304". Then I've seen I need firewater but it's no longer working (to s-off the device). So, I'm a bit lost and I don't even know if I can flash a stock firmware over a Vodafone firmware. Any ideas?
You can use sunshine to S-OFF
http://theroot.ninja/
Thanks for replying!! I heard that one could have some bugs, but if you recommend it I will use it. And then, can I flash any firmware?? No matter what?
Yep, pretty much. Before you pay for Sunshine it goes through some checks to make sure it's compatible so give it a go
I need to pay ???
Yep, $25
Woah, I think I'll leave it like that. I think that what I want to do is not worth 25 dollars

It really is
Without S-OFF, you can't remove all the carrier rubbish and get OTA updates directly from HTC
I knowwww X), that's why I wanted, but I just spent 15 dollars to unlock it. 25 more dollars is just too much XD. Is there any other option?

Hope so, at least he got something in return then. I have seen people pay that much just get their bootloader unlocked
Than it would have been a good option to s-off for 25 and do the SIM unlock yourself and get the freedom of s-off with it
If I had known I could do that in advance, I would have never paid for unlocking it. Oh God, I feel stupid now xD

Yeah. To be honest I'm not an expert, but I usually do this kind of things by myself. However, for the last let's say 2-3 years I've seen that's almost impossible unlocking a phone without paying. I made a little research and found it was more or less the same with the HTC One M8 (and I also found that there was another program to made it s-off but it wasn't working anymore), but clearly I didn't look everything
Well, I've finally decided to use Sunshine. However, when it tries to make a test to see if my phone is suitable for Sunshine this message appears: "Sunshine could not find the su binary, please root your device, then run Sunshine". Is it necessary to root the device in advance? I thought Sunshine itself did it

What do you think the message means, if it can't find the su binaries you need to root it in advance. If sunshine would root it for you it would have said so. Pretty clear to me
Hahaha lol I know, but I thought there could be some kind of option in advance or something X). Well, I'm going to investigate how to root the device then =)
Is there another service to send in my HTC 10 since the service by Sunshine doesn't exist?
I am unable to unlock the bootloader, the Sunshine app gives me a failure. I have no OEM bootloader option in the developer tools. I've made several attempts using the various forums so I can root the phone without success. I feel it's time to send it out to someone who can assist me.

I only know of a couple other shops that do it, but they are both also in the UK.
Other option, would be an XTC2 Clip/Power Adapter/Java Card, if they even still work after the HTC 10 has been updated to Oreo(not sure on that part).

If your htc 10 is still on Nougat and ISN'T a Verizon device, then I think you can use Sunshine to S-OFF, don't hold me too it, but I believe you can. :good:
just download the app and try it out, it won't take your $$ of anything if it doesn't work, can't hurt to try.
I believe it is not working for Oreo and Pie htc 10 variants, and Verizon is needed to do by mail I think unless they fixed it for Verizon N as well.
Don't remember. but the website still says they do mail in, but I don't think they still are.
Give it a try and report back.

SunShine was unable to gain root access to your device. You may need to gain "TempRoot" or "PermRoot" through some other means. For HTC Devices, unlocking with HTCDev.com and rooting with a custom recovery may work.

You can 100% unlock the bootloader @ htcdev and flash custom ROMs, you don't need soff for that.
I wouldn't update from N firmware until you try a few things out.
Maybe unlocking bl and rooting then sunshine will work?

Ah, that's good, didn't know that.
I'm gonna wait a few more days for an answer from the devs of the last app on my phone that can't back up via adb and its own backup process is broken. After that I'm gonna do what you said.
Is the guide I linked above ok or is there maybe an XDA guide to doing that? I looked at the Guides subforum here but there's too much stuff and I've never rooted a phone b4 so I'm not sure which thread I'm supposed to be looking at :silly:

Ah, that's good, didn't know that.
I'm gonna wait a few more days for an answer from the devs of the last app on my phone that can't back up via adb and its own backup process is broken. After that I'm gonna do what you said.

Yea since you have the US locked version, or I think that's what you meant by unbranded. What's your firmware (in download mode) x.xx.617.xx or x.xx.401.xx
Here is the link for bootloader unlock: https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

No, I've got the EU version (or I suppose I do, I bought it in the EU). I meant that I got it from a retailer, not a cell network company like Verizon, since I see those need some special treatment. Software number is 2.41.401.41
