I bit the bullet and paid $25 to get S-OFF on my US VM 816 A5_CHL. Worked.
Great !!!
I'll pay off for my A5_UL
and update by then
Thank a lot
Finally Ive made it on my 816 Single SIM
it worked great 100 %
Super cool
Will S-Off and the MSL unlock code allow the phone to be used on another carrier? I'm curious if the sim card, which is now only for lte with the cdma, can be replaced with a sim from a gsm carrier.
This is probably a really dumb question, but does S-off get turned on again when you flash a RUU? Also if you decide to lock it up again, like to get it fixed, would you have to pay for this again? Thanks!
How , Get connect to other Gsm carrier after S-off, On virgin Mobile?
I have the msl unlock code for my phone. So, if I have s-off will it help me use my phone on another carrier. That is can I take my other carrier's sim and put it in the vm lte sim slot and with my unlock code use the phone on the other carrier. I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to do this and does having s-off possibly help this process.

Flashing a RUU will not make you S-ON again. Nothing will, unless you decide to do it yourself, but even then, you can S-OFF again easily, without paying again.
As far as getting a new device, you can probably email the Sunshine lead dev, Justin, and tell him what's going on. He'll probably help you out.

Okay thanks for the info! I probably will s-off in the future for carrier unlocking purposes once a method has been developed for a5_chl.

I have recently acquired a T-Mobile branded G2 Touch (also called HTC Hero I believe)....and the only problem is it sim locked to the T-Mobile network.
I have followed this guide to first temporary root, and then permanent root (and sim unlock) the phone....but it doesn't work.
At least I get an error "cannot cycle eMMC" whether I use v0.04 or v0.02 in the guide.
If I follow the guide here, is this more likely to work and would it unlock the sim?
The only other option is to pay T-Mobile £15+ for a Sim Network Unlock code....but I would rather only do that as a last resort....

Sim lock is something completly different then rooting the phone.
If you want a sim unlocked phone you need to so it trough the network unlock or go to some tele shop.
Yup, rooting your phone does not unlock it. You need an unlock code. Google hero unlock or some similar combination and you will find lots of people selling unlock codes for the hero.
Also, it's not called the Hero. It's the HTC Vision.

Seeing as he/she posted in the g2 touch/hero forum, i would assume they know it is a hero. The vision is known as the g2 or desire z.
Just incase you are unsure, the "vision" has a slide out keyboard. If the phone you have has a rather sizeable chin and a trackball, it is a hero.
the phone has a definate chin and trackball.....

Alright, then it's a Hero. Sorry, it's just that you put G2 in the title, which is a different phone.

Which doesn't exist in America. Sorry, I went by what I know. We just have the G2 here.
I have owned an HTC Incredible and an HTC Rezound in the past, and I'm fairly certain they came with S-ON. (I have also owned about every Samsung phone in existence, its just my HTC expertise is limited).
Well, I didn't want the AT&T version of the HTC because I really like the Tegra3. So I got a Global Unlocked HTC One X. Great phone...but when I went to do the whole unlocking & rooting business I found this:

Is this normal? Someone on reddit told me to post here asking, as I might get a better response.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: If anyone is wondering, the only thing I have done is fastboot oem unlock, fastboot CWM install, and then SuperSU flash via CWM. I'm still running stock ROM.

S-Off before and after.

Well before it was LOCKED and S-OFF. And I don't think I could have pushed a fastboot CWM in that locked state?
Now its Unlocked and S-OFF with a CWM recovery.
Yes you could've pushed it via an ZIP file using HBOOT so you've let HTC know for no reason
EDIT: You didn't go via HTCDev, you just ran 'fastboot oem unlock' and that was it? In which case HTC won't know and you're in a VERY good situation
Where did you buy your phone from? I got mine from Handtec and it's a S-ON

Hi,
I want to root my device, but I'm a little bit afraid of the "relocked"-problem. Also I need to flash the boot.img manually.
So my question is, if I unlock now and someone figures out, how to s-off, do I still have to flash the boot.img manually with s-off after unlock via htcdev? And does s-off includes the possibility of full-relocking the bootloader and if yes, is this possibility also given, when I would s-off after htcdev?
Thanks,
me113
Just unlock now . It's most probably that HTC One X / X+ won't get S-Off ... It's been discussed for more than half a year and no one's figured it out or should we say unable to S-Off ...

Will I have any disadvantages, if s-off is possible after all and I already unlocked?

You can still do S-Off after you've unlocked . No disadvantages , only advantages .
Thanks for your advice. But I've read in a thread about a HTC Flyer-Rom:
if you used HTC Unlock and S-OFF'd using that, you ALWAYS need to flash new boot.img manually

I'm a little bit confused now. I thought s-off from stock and s-off after htcdev is the same. So I have to flash the boot.img forever manually, if I unlocked via htcdev?!

Let's clear something up about this, s-off is still impossible for the time being ! Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone back to factory state but you do NOT have to flash a new boot.img, it works as normal after unlocking the bootloader !
If you flash a custom rom you have to flash the boot.img from that rom with a tool or manually with fastboot commands because we don't have S-OFF !

Yeah, but if someone achieves S-OFF, I don't have to flash it manually any longer?
That's right ! But don't get your hopes up on that, people are trying it already for over 6 months .... my guess it's not going to happen, and i don't mind either because now the phone is almost unbrickable ! And flashing the boot.img manually takes like 20 seconds .....
Ok, great. Thanks for your answer!
Will unlock now. :victory:
Merry Xmas

Hi,
I bought brand new inactivated sprint htc one m8 harman kardon. I managed to get it bootloader unlocked, S-Off, rooted, and TRWP 2.7.0.2. I'm trying to get the SIM unlocked but I couldn't. I used the following method to unlock the sim but I couldn't pass step 4 as I reach to hit "start" but nothing happens. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718150&page=5)
I also tried to install roms but when the mobile boot after I get successful installation, it reboots on bootloader screen only.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
you do realize that post you linked to right at the top it says 100% works from GSM unlocks. nowhere does it say anything about CDMA phones...? which your sprint model is...
and yes i know what your going to say it has a GSM sim card slot but it doesnt matter.
when people say compatible with GSM models it mostly means international GSM and US(ATT/TMOBILE) phones. CDMA phones are a bit more complicated. cause theres the extra CDMA radio partition.

you dont need to unlock the SIM in order to use custom roms. all you need is to unlock the bootloader using the HTC unlocker

Its the HBoot and FW you have. As I'm remembering firewater doesn't work with this version jet.
Sadly your only option is sunshine. If I remember correctly sunshine was created by the same devs as firewater so don't count on an updated firewater to fix this for you. Also sunshine costs 25 dollars, just a little fyi. Good luck with S-OFF!

So this thread implies that Sunshine is proven to work on a phone with 3.18 hboot and obviously taken an OTA? I'd heard somewhere that wasn't confirmed yet.

It doesn't imply. But as it check if it's really gonna work and firewater definitely doesn't it's the best try you got.
By the way. You just have to pay if it is gonna work and all checks the tool runs are positive.
Hit "Thanks"if I was of any help.

Firewater won't work. It requires an online server component, that was taken offline 4 years ago.
If you want s-off, you need to pay for sunshine.
But s-off is only needed for limited things (changing CID/MID, manually flashing hboot, radio, etc.). S-off is not needed to root or flash custom ROMs.
Make sure you actually need s-off, before you waste too much time trying to s-off!

Are you trying to get LTE? Just flashing firmware, may not accomplish that. Again, just trying to make sure you don't spend money on sunshine s-off, for no good reason.
Also, you should tread carefully, as flashing the wrong firmware to certain M8 versions can brick the phone.
If you want us to take a closer look, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, tell us which 3G and LTE bands your local carrier uses.
