Here ya go.
Ok so is this good or bad lol? Is it unlocked?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
It looks the same as international...so I would think unlocked. T-Mobile has never locked a boot loader and don't think they will start now
really dislike the know warranty void 0x0... =(
someone please get rid of it
Well According to designgears who has an ATT, he has the exact same stats on his Bootloader screen.
Ya, that is the same as what is on the ATT version, except for the swrev stuff. Maybe the relevant info isn't on there. I don't understand why there would be a tested recovery already for it if it wasn't unlocked.
Didn't notice that. Is that an indication of a locked bootloader?
Well I guess we will know when he tries to flash recovery.....they have the T-Mobile recovery on the international thread

Ya, since the international version has the same screen I don't think the info means anything about the bootloader.

Praying that you're right. Still 99.9 percent positive it will be unlocked, just waiting for some firm confirmation.

pm from bigbiff.(twrp). So I just found out that even though it says write protection enabled, that doens't mean bootloader locked from Chainfire. He says you just have to try to flash something, but he's having issues with the kernel I might see how far he gets, then see if someone wants to be a sacrifical lamb since I dont have the phone yet

The S4 has a locked bootloader according to Engadget..
If you're hoping to run custom ROMs in place of TouchWiz, you may have to wait for a little while since Samsung has confirmed to us that the bootloader is locked
Why would Samsung start doing this out of the blue? Their devices have always been very easy to root and customize. Seems a little odd that they would do this.
Ok, you could post in the S4 thread itself since it exists as of a little while ago, or you could post in the Off Topic other devices thread since this forum is for the S3

Not that I'm a big supporter of HTC or anything, but their newest Bootloader unlock lets you flash kernels via recovery, even with S-On. The only limitations is flashing modified radios without HTC's signature.

In that case, I doubt it. The verizon S3 came with a locked bootloader, whereas the Sprint version did not.

I believe THIS is the article the OP is referring to. But as CNexus said, it might not be locked on Sprint. But honestly it doesn't matter to me. I will not be Upgrading to the S4. It really doesn't blow me out of the water with Features, Screen, or anything else. Not to mention eventually most of those new features we will be able to have on our S3's .

Ok well, thats not right. On HTC devices (only exception I know of is the EVO 4G), having s-on makes the boot partition unwriteable, except via fastboot and some other hacks
I just got finished helping this guy get his phone booting again. He flashed a rom for the international HTC One and was bootlooping even after flashing another rom. Fastbooting the boot.img fixed him right up.

Just went to HTC DEV unlock and chose "other supported devices" and did what the site said at htc dev unlock. Easy as heck.
I suspect that will be locked down in the next few days....maybe i'll bite the bullet and just buy a new one instead of waiting for used to start showing up.
For those who have unlocked already.. Want to test a recovery???... DO NOT FLASH!!. do a fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.6-m7vzw.img
It will not harm your phone in any way if you boot. If you do happen to flash it. You better hope the recovery boots. Or you'll have to wait for a working recovery to flash

Doing it right. Guess we'll have to wait for Indirect to get the boot.img or recovery.img out before we get a custom recovery. But if those don't work still. Then we'll have to flash instead of boot.

[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.

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.

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.

Well first you need to unlock your bootloader: http://theroot.ninja/depixel8.html
After that, download the P factory image from Google's site and follow instructions to install. Just remember to backup stuff you want (photos, files, anything saved on storage) because unlocking will perform a factory reset.

Your using an outdated ADB and Fastboot (like 99% of the people on this forum).
Here is the latest: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31360541/platform-tools-version_1.0.36-API_25.zip

Thank you, worked after that and I am back to P but unfortunately my flash is still not working correctly. Sucks in passed the 14 day return so I'll get a refurbished when the phone is practically brand new.

There might not be any refurbished phones to send you so you might luck out. Better to try now than later when they have a big stock of returned phones. Or I'm crazy and you'll get one either way...

Yea I'm really hoping not to get a refurbished. I'm gonna do my best to see that I get a new one but if not I guess oh well. I have a 32g really blue model so not sure if they even have any new ones.

Well I'm trying to fix and issue I'm having with the camera flash, ever since the update it will only flash once and then will not work again with any app no matter what until I do a restart. It worked before the update and nothing happened to the phone so I wanted to see if going back might fix it before I have to get a refurbished one from Verizon.

Doubt you'd get a refurbished unit at this point, you'd still get one from replacement stock set aside for early issues.

Is it possible to downgrade to NDE63P from NDE63X? Wanting to root now that TWRP is available...

You will need to unlock your bootloader. Why do you need to downgrade though? You can root and install TWRP on nde63x.

I realized that after a little research.. that's my fault..
IK this question was already asked, but is there an s7 active root. If not, will it ever come out?
I can root it for you just shoot me a message wont take 10 minutes to do you will need a computer
In a previous thread he said he did everything the same way as the regular S7 in a reply to a post of mine. Now he's saying that he doesn't remember exactly but will do it for you remotely. Something funny going on here.

Don't know to be honest. I just thought it was kinda strange that he said one thing at first but then was saying something totally different and wanting to root people's devices remotely. Also, it's a brand new xda account, only has 10 posts. That last part may mean nothing but just something that stuck out to me.
So is there root for the active or not?

Yes, but there is only a 50% success rate and there is chance to brick the phone. Wait a month or so for a stable version
not sure where you got 50% success rate ?!..

Yes, I was able to update via OTA to PL1 and root. There are a few others who rooted successfully on this firmware as well.
