Hi,
I just got a new g2 i bought it from someone and they have already rooted it and put cyanogen mod 7 on it already but the problem is my friend has att so he cant use the phone unless its unlocked i thought it would already be unlocked since the gfree method unlocks it for you but its apparently asking for the sim code so if you can please help me out on how to take the sim lock off it would be much appreciated.
Thank,
XDA ROCKS!!!
Re-run GFree following the instructions from the WIKI HERE, and use the following option of -S:
Code:
gfree [-h|-?|--help] [-v|--version] [-s|--secu_flag on|off]
-h | -? | --help: display this message
-v | --version: display program version
-s | --secu_flag on|off: turn secu_flag on or off
-c | --cid <CID>: set the CID to the 8-char long CID
[COLOR="Red"][B]-S | --sim_unlock: remove the SIMLOCK[/B][/COLOR]
-f | --free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111
When you run the following code in the GFree Process:
Code:
su
cd /data/local
chmod 777 gfree
./gfree[COLOR="red"] -S[/COLOR]
sync
Hi,
this is the adb command for m7:
adb shell echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796
which partition is this on m8?
here is the m8 partition list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uTfhr5sUFpdYKpHMFOOUnb1T5kOBu411_rcEb_Fz37A/edit#gid=0
can't find this for m7, someone has a link?

I accidentally locked the bootloader on my developer edition one M8. I was returning it to stock for a warranty exchange (I already have the replacement device and I need to ship the old one back within the next few days).
I need to get this thing back to stock ASAP
Right now my bootloader is locked (laugh all you want. I'm an idiot.) but I'm S-OFF. Where do I go from here? I need to make sure I'm S-ON and have the tampered flag removed before I send it back, otherwise I'm sure they will bill me for a replacement motherboard and not allow me to have any say in that.
This is basically what I need to undo (I was in a hurry and copy/pasted the wrong text from a tutorial)
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
exit
exit
Code:
to UNLOCK your bootloader,enter the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
verify you are now unlocked

Thanks a million! It worked like a charm!
Verizon M9, is S-0ff, cid 11111111.
When I do fastboot request for token, here's the error message:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock
(bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off!
OKAY [ 0.071s]
finished. total time: 0.072s
Can you guess what this is and how to fix it?
Thanks

Thanks for this: it was stock recovery, no SU - but finally got it done....
:good::good::good:
Tried that, though got the following
-ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796 <
dd: /dev/block/mmcblk0p2: Permission denied

Copy n paste code...
The code is:
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
Not
-ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
Forgetting "echo"
You're lucky you didn't brick your device.

Sunshine now supports the Verizon HTC M9, I highly suggest it.
$25 is WELL worth it.

Have you tried this set of commands with a clean install of rooted custom rom? (With SuperSU setup correctly.)
to UNLOCK your bootloader, enter the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recommend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
verify you are now unlocked

If you have TWRP installed, place one of the custom roms from here in the M9 section.
Odexed, deodexed - doesn't matter - just not a stock RUU. It will be rooted already. Then proceed with unlock.
I keep doing that but for some reason it isn't rooted when I boot back up. In my twrp it shows that it installed it but it doesn't. My bootloader status shows locked instead of relocked or tampered.

Open adb Shell while your phone is booted into twrp. That shell has root prompts by default so simply run the echo cmd to unlock the phone.

NICE, is this for M9 only, or will it work on HTC10?
Hello all,
Please help me to reset warning flags for my E9+, in order to send it to HTC. My battery is overheating and the phones turns off, despite the fact it is not warm outside. I presume a temperature sensor is not functioning correctly or a faulty battery cell...
I have S-off, I changed the SuperCID in HTC__621, the original one, I flashed the proper TW RUU, but I need the commands to get rid of "UNLOCKED" and "Status software:Modified" things...
I found the adb commands for M8, M9, M7, but not for E9+...
Can somebody share these to me, please?
Thanks
After a sleepless night, I found the command on a chinese forum. I share it with you now:
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 bs=1 seek=39940
Worked perfect for me! I'm back to status "official"!
And for locking/unlocking bootloader (not tested yet) :
adb shell
su
Locked
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=1 seek=33796
Unlock
echo -ne 'HTCU' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=1 seek=33796
Relock
echo -ne 'HTCL' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 bs=1 seek=33796
