Hi there, would like to ask if i should just unlock bootloader and root via recovery now, or wait for a temproot that works for the international model and than S-OFF as weaksauce doesnt work for the international model at the moment. Is there any news on when the international model will be getting an update in weaksauce?
Yes you have to be bootloader unlocked and rooted so may as well get that done and some people on international havesS-OFF
But not me

I was thinking of getting the developer edition, however it doesn't have the silver version. So I am wondering if S-off and unlocked bootloader has been achieved for this device? Also, is this fully both AT&T and T-Mobile Compatible?

TL;DR, You can either get the unlocked variant and get the color you really want at the expense of your factory warranty,
Or get the dev edition and maintain the HTC warranty at the expense of having a color you don't like.
Yes, S-OFF has been achieved for most (if not all already) variants of the M8, the Developer edition and unlocked edition both included. The benefit to the developer edition is that the bootloader is unlocked from the factory, and you retain your warranty. If you buy the unlocked version and unlock the bootloader, your warranty is then void from HTC.
Hallo

HI guys
I had succeeded s-off my M8 HK edition few days ago.
I am working on another M8 HK edition but it not work.
It's show fail message below.
The second M8 I got OTA update(1.54.654.9 to 1.54.654.13) and not wipe.
Is this the problem?
Another question is I just want SIM unlock that I can use Taiwan carrier.
I don't mind use stock rom.
Is there any method that I can unlock SIM card without s-off ?
Thanks for help !!!
SIM unlock without s-off is only possible via the carrier.
If you want s-off you can use sunshine !
Hi,
I have inactivated Sprint HTC One M8 Harman Kardan and I unlocked, S-Off, change it to super CID and rooted it but still I could not unlock the sim card ( I tried the 2 methods to SIM unlocked but no success). Even when I install ROM I'm still getting the activating message.
Is it possible to change the radio or any other file to turn it from Sprint locked to international unlocked HTC One M8?
I know I made a mistake by buying it instead of the unlocked version but what has happened has happened.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
I have the carrier unlocked m9 straight from HTC. I was wondering if you could flash something like the dev edition RUU or say the T-Mobile RUU on it with out any failure? If so what would be the pros and cons of each one? I have been led to understand that the only difference between the Dev and the Unlocked is that the bootloader is unlocked which is no big deal bc I'm unlocked and s-off.
The only reason I would be interested in flashing the T-mobile RUU is for the wifi calling and texting capabilities.
(I am aware that you can change both the CID and the MID through fastboot.)
Hey guys, i am about to buy an M8.
I red something about htc sunshine. What is that ? Does this mean that i have to pay to use custom roms ? Please explain me
For most people, there is no need to use Sunshine to install a custom ROM.
You just need to unlock bootloader thru htcdev.com and install TWRP recovery to install ROM.
You need Sunshine only when you have a Verizon device because you can't unlock it with htcdev.com
You also may need Sunshine if you have a SIM locked to certain carrier device and you need to SIM unlock it to use with other carrier SIM.
If you're buying a unlocked device (International GSM), not necessary at all for Sunshine.
