[Q] Unlocking HTC One X

Hi,
Is it possible to unlock these phones so they're open to all network operators?
Thanks

Anyone?

The phone only came out in most places today friend. Give it a couple of days to see what the devs cook up

Well my Mrs is getting her upgrade tomorrow (HTC One X), but I'm guessing its going to come locked to ORANGE UK network.. I'm in THREE UK network.. So my Sim card wont work in it... right?
I need to try & get it unlocked to all networks... or I'll just have to sell it.

What do you mean it comes unlocked? Are you talking S-OFF?

They don't always come unlocked in the UK most carriers sim block it to their networks. Some don't some do.

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english in advance.
I only find a how to do it in french. I didn't try it so i don't know if it works.
The method seems to be the same as for the sensation.
Someone have already test it and can confirm it is ok ?

Is my S3 a fake?

Hi I just bought an S3 from someone. However the android version is 4.1.9... I dont think its rooted either. Is it a fake? I hope not... Or is there any other way to tell?

Sounds like it.

Damn Got scammed. Is there a way to root this and unlock it, like this version? If so, can you link me?

How do I unlock it

forget unlocking. i'd be contacting the seller...

Its a fake phone man , contact the seller and demand a refund. Unlocking it and stuff is impossible as these Chinese phones have no development at all , try finding a phone with similar hardware z maybe that will help. .

ah right, I have seen methods to unlock these phones though. I have a giffgaff (O2) sim and it doesnt pick up any bars, I tried my EE sim and it picked it up. I dont think my phone is unlocked, is there a way to unlock it. Iv heard of SRSRoot is that the correct method?

Rooting and unlocking are two different things SRSRoot will probably root it but it won't unlock it.

Get your money back, if you paid with paypal contact the seller first and if he refuses do a charge back. Knock off phone's hardware is almost always terrible, which is why the price is so low. Even if you manage to root and install a custom ROM it will never be the same experience as having the actual S3 :\. Sorry to hear all this man.

Bootloader Unlock

I have a Verizon HTC One that I purchased on the device payment plan. I have searched here and you tube to see if I can unlock the bootloader to install custom roms. I know it has the old bootloader version of 1.54. Any help will be great before my return Window closes.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

No hope of boot loader unlock on that firmware currently. Only option is send to sonic for s-off. Or change carriers to att or someone else and get a one from them, I returned my Verizon one and did just that and couldn't be happier.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Verizon has blocked the bootloader from being unlocked via HTCDev. Currently, the ONLY way to unlock is to send it to Sonic. Visit this thread:

So you are against sending it out to get s-off'd by sonic? That's a permanent root for you...
If not, do some research before you purchase a new $600 device. If root is a MUST for you please take time to make sure a new phone will fit your needs in this matter before you waste their time with return of an otherwise GOOD product.
I apologize if this sounds snarky.... that's not my intent.

If you kept your old phone, reactivate that one, send your One to Sonic to get S-Off (for a very reasonable fee... the java cards are expensive!), then when you get it back, reactivate the one. Done and done!

I did keep my old phone but the simple solution is to just return and wait on the one max

Sonic's s-off was quick and cheap. If you like this phone go for it. You'll be able to flash whatever you want then.

more development will be on the htc one maxx than this phone (unfortunately HTC kinda did again - what they did with the HTC Inc4g I just hope this community actually stays and doesn't leave), not saying that it will get S-OFF faster, but it will have more of a community than us, which = more bounty money = more developers working on exploits. Personally I can't use a phone bigger than 5' large. Again, this is just an opinion from word around the water coolers.

Quick and dirty version of how.
Visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427960 for information.
Go to http://htc.s26tech.com/ to purchase the S-OFF option for the One, send it off and wait for it to come back.

whose getting one?

im not going to pre-order,but im definately planning on picking one up.
anyone else?

Will be getting one too, if the first reviews don't reveal a show-stopper....

original info was that "all us carriers" would be on board,so for me it will depend on the availablity of a t mobile variant(i think they are the most versatile). with newer phones im still a bit afraid of getting one that wont be s-offable(aka tegra 3 one x ) so i may also wait until the confirmation that something is working.
not sure what im looking forward to the most... the bigger screen or having an actual sd card again

I remember when the Verizon variant of the HTC One 2013 came out, you could unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev. This was only available for part of the first day though... Hopefully T-Mo will leave the bootloader unlockable! Otherwise I plan on getting the unlocked version from their website or a GPE edition if one comes out.

T Mobile haven't kept anything off of the unlock list yet. Hopefully they keep with that mentality. But I agree with you, I wouldn't get one either if they did. That's a big reason I left Verizon

That's not an apples to apples comparison. I am referring to HTC Dev official unlock site. T Mobile has not requested any devices not be unlockable through it like Verizon and AT&T.
I doubt that the Sony locked bootloader is at the request of T Mobile... it's probably a Sony thing

you said "T Mobile haven't kept anything off of the unlock list yet" so my reply was for that. but yes, T-Mob hasn't requested any devices not be unlockable through HTC Dev.

You know for a fact that tmobile requested the Sony bootloader to be locked? I have never heard of T Mobile requesting any OEM to keep a bootloader locked down tight.
At any rate, as long as I can unlock the m8 thriugh HTC Dev we will be ok

i do not believe T-Mob requested that Sony lock the bootloader. there is no concrete evidence or clarification as to whether they did or did not request it, though.
i'm not sure how T-Mob treated the M7 but i would wager that it would be the same for M8.

I'm hoping to get one

Getting ready to retire my 2 1/2 year old Rezound for this. As of this morning, news (out of China) is that the duo camera is combined 16mp. The leaks have pretty much confirmed removable storage and a battery close to 3000 mAh. Only regret is rumored 2g ROM space. Hopefully that's 3g. Willing to give up my unlimited data on Big Red for this one. :good:

I will be getting one - or at least I am currently planning to. I have been on a Nexus device since the Nexus 4G on Sprint. Ready to upgrade from my current Nexus 4 on T-Mobile - first non-Nexus device to catch my eye. Wife has been using the original T-Mobile One for the past year and I am looking forward to the upgraded version.

Is this something? Marshmallow source code?

I can't post links due to how rarely I post. However, I searched the G4 on LG's open source website and found this:
ht tp:// opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LGvs986
remove the spaces of course.

The source code for 6.0!! When was this posted?

Anything you can do with the source code? Or no because we have no access to the bootloader?

This can’t be compiled and flashed onto an actual device without an unlocked bootloader, if that’s what you’re asking...

Exactly what I was asking lol. Wonder how much longer the big V will drag their heels with this one... Its right there in front of us and we can't do anything with it. *sigh*

This is sadly why I jumped to the 6P in November. I never realized how nice it was to be able to mod and customize your phone any way you want, and have actual 100% stable stock Android ROMs.

I had the Note 5 after my G4, then got rid of that for the 6P. I'm 100% happy with my choice, I do miss the outstanding G4 camera though.

I had the note 3 and was going to get the newest one but the SD card and removable battery were deal breakers for me. And with Verizon handicapping the g4 I hate it. Only problem is I'm stuck on the stupid edge plan and can't afford to pay off the g4 and buy a 6p outright.

If not for Verizon's coverage I would've left for AT&T long ago. Catch 22

It will sometime this year, but Verizon in particular is notoriously slow in pushing major Android updates to their customers. There is a good chance big red will be the last major carrier to push it out.

I just signed up for Project Fi and ordered the 6P with 128GB storage. I'm ditching Verizon AND what they did to the great G4. It's a shame, too. It's such an excellent phone, but it's just so... neutered.

Any possibility for a unlocked bootloder in the future?
