hi everyone, i received today my phone, it seems to be a korean import unlocked for sims but not rooted.
i had a galsaxy s2 for a few years and know how to root and flash a rom, but problem is, on my htc one m8 there is no option to disable fast boot in the battery menu
i looked everywhere on the phone, it's just not there. i looked on the net and somebody suggested CleanFLASH 1.0 just to start the phone in hboot, but can't manage to find the file anymore, links are dead, any suggestion?
thanks
anybody can help with this? I'm bloody stuck without a rooted phone!!!! thank you

Is your main problem not being able to get into bootloader (I don't see how else the fast boot power option would prevent you from rooting)? Just hold the power button until the options come up, select Restart, then when the screen goes black, immediately (before the white HTC boot screen) hold the power down rocker, and don't let go until hboot appears.
Alternately, hold power and vol up to force a reboot of the phone, then when the screen goes dark, switch to holding the vol down rocker.
Why are you worry so much on "fast boot" ?
You don't necessarily need to press power + volume down to go to hboot/bootloader.
I never disable "fast boot". Just simply restart, wait for the downanimation complete (it turn black screen) then press volume down (no holding power button) ... it will go to hboot.
Or you can plug in your device to PC with USB debugging enabled. Open a command prompt from your adb folder, type command adb reboot bootloader
thank you. i've tried all the above all afternoon, including all the tools available but phone will only either reboot, sometimes in safe mode, or reboot regularly.
I think I know what I'm doing. I need to unlock bootloader to root, but this is not possible. When connecting to pc by usb, and using tools, from comand line, computer screen just hangs and nothing else happens. with another program I can only see a tiny "fast boot...." on the bottom left corner of the screen. I cannot basically unlock the bootloader hence root the device.
another few things i notice you may be able to double check.
trying to reboot in standard recovery, the android buddy comes up on the screen, like dead, with "no command" message. then pressing volume up will take to recovery screens, never seen this before.
And last, but not least, checking the serial number from the menu > about phone > status the serial number comes as
0123456789ABCDEF
I checked with HTC support on chat and they basically gave me the registered serial number for this IMEI and told me of course that it is impossible that it has another number as this cannot be changed.
Question is... Have I got a clone here??
edit: sorry about the data, it was not set the apn, now it works. normally used to have automatically apn from sim card, but it's not the case for this phone/sim
I bet you do have a clone, does the phone has a playstore ? Install some phone specs app and see what it comes up with.

Is your about phone (there is no about phone on real HTC One M8, only "about") looks like these screenshots here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54102512&postcount=7 and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54102633&postcount=8
Then it is a clone

it looks like that, checking the specs i can see a ARM v7 Processor, rev3 and a screen resolution of 1280 x 720...
Unfortunately, I think your device is a "Clone".
thanks guys, i've haven't been rooting for a couple of years, but really thougt something was wrong, terribly wrong. ok, will check back here when i get a real one, if needed.
I think he was talking about "Fast boot" option in battery settings and not the "Fastboot" everybody is talking about here. Nevermind. And yes, that phone is/was a clone

The subsequent responses by clpv5 and myself understood that he was talking about "Fast boot" in Settings.
The only reason the "old" root guides instructed to turn off "Fast boot" in power settings, is that this mode enabled would prevent you from entering bootloader from a "powered down" conditon (since with the "Fast boot" option enabled, the phone was never actually powered down, just a deep sleep mode).
But as we pointed out, you could always enter bootloader from a reboot, since a reboot is always a true reboot. This would work regardless of whether "Fast boot" was enabled or not in power settings.
Although it should be noted this thread is from July 2014, and the "Fast boot" option was removed some time ago.

Thanks. I was looking for an explanation like that; in fact, somehow that's why I ended up in this thread. Though, it's useful yet, since there must be lots of devices still running the 'Fast boot' option due to certain manufacturer's lack of firmware updates and because not every device in need for support out there is actually a new device

oh man, i thought i was the only one !
i have the same exact phone !
my serial number is exactly 123456789ABCDEF !!!
mine is a chinese mtk htc one m8. after hours of search i figured my phone name is alps_htc one m8 and yes my friend, is a fu..... clone !!!
i tried everything ! and search whole bunch of websites and forums like xda and xda itself, nothing happened !
i also get the => fastboot....... every time i try to go to bootloader !
this is something that you guys who trying to help here had to understand, these clone phones settings is completely different from other phones and even the original one ! hold power button then hold volume up or down, doesn't work !
every time it stock in => fastboot..... none of the buttons of the damn phone works and i have to wait until the battery drain ! real pain in the ass !!! because you know, htc one m8 does not have battery removing option, another pain in the ass !!!!!!!!!
i had a another problem too, when i wipe this clone phone, amazingly, the IMEI was gone !!! the phone said "invalid IMEI" !!! witch after hours of search i flashed it with an app from mobileuncle tools, thank to them amazing app allowed me to flash a custom IMEI from a unused phone.
now i use another htc device from the original manufacturer.
a little piece of advice, do not buy a clone phone ! cause it's going to piss you off !!!
and if you don't know how to recognize a clone from a original phone, its simple, just check the serial number, if it's feel weird, just give back the phone to seller, smile, and run out of the store !
thanks to XDA btw.
I have a htc one m8 from Sprint. It is currently running 6.0 or 6.2 and I want to unlock it. I need to unlock the bootloader but there is no option in developer. How can I get the bootloader unlocked if there is no option to waffle OEM unlocking?

Hi, Asterik216...
You may be looking for something that doesn't exist!

Living in the UK, I know practically nothing about Sprint devices, however the bootloader OEM unlock option (in developer settings) you refer to, as far as I'm aware is only found on recent-ish Nexus devices.
I have it on my Nexus 9 tablet for example, and apparently it's also on the Nexus 6P phone.
I've never heard of it on non-Nexus devices.
***
The way I unlocked my M8 bootloader, was by registering an account with HTCdev.com and I requested a bootloader unlock token, which is a tiny file emailed back to you as an attachment (full instructions are given at HTCdev.com).
This file/token is then incorporated into the fastboot OEM unlock command.
Sorry if all this is a little vague, but this is something I did back in July of last year, so my recollection of the precise details are a little hazy.
And as I've indicated, I know nothing about Sprint devices so this procedure may not be available to you.
Rgrds,
Ged.

I'm in the UK and did the same on an M8 6.0
The HTC developer site can be a bit off putting as the instructions are as follows:
"To access the OEM unlocking setting on your device, open the Developer options in the system Settings. On Android 4.2 and higher, the Developer options screen is hidden by default. To make it visible, go to Settings > About > Software information > More and tap Build number seven times. Return to the Settings screen to find Developer options and check OEM unlocking."
That last bit is not there. Just ignore OEM unlocking. I found that getting the token and using it was not explained that well either. The phone has to be at the bootloader. Press the power button with the fastboot option selected and then the usb cable attached. Then just leave it and follow the instruction on the HTCDev site
To get the token key in windows 10 it's probably easier to use the powershell (click start button and type in Powershell to find it. Right click with mouse and select 'Run as administrator') rather than a command prompt, as you can 'mark' the text you want only - and not all the line headers. After selecting press ctrl-c to copy it and paste into the box on the HTC web page.

Hi Johny,
I'm just doing the same with an HTC ON M8 from UK too, with Android 6.
I have no idea what to do, and yes you are right the OEM unlock is not in the menu.
I didn't really follow what I am meant to do from your comments though? Can you help?
I have downloaded the HTC dev thing and am downloading the SDK devools and the fastboot .exe but dont really know what I am meant to do with them1

This phone never had the option (nor the requirement to do so) in Settings for OEM unlocking. It was introduced by Google in later Android builds.
In short, you won't see it on the Settings menu (as you already mentioned) and you therefore do NOT need to activate it. Basically, you don't need to do anything in Settings to unlock the bootloader.
Just go through the bootloader unlocking process as outlined in HTCDev.com skipping the part about OEM unlocking (or use guides on XDA for the M8) and it will unlock.
Thanks I finally got the token to work through a few things.
I used this guys video and Windows Powershell needed to use a .\ BEFORE the fastboot commands to make things work...

I've had an unlocked Snapdragon Note 10+ sitting around for quite a while doing nothing (it was powered on much of the time) and finally decided it was time to give it the gift of TWRP and Magisk. After enabling developer mode, the OEM unlock toggle was present, and seemeingly was reflected on the download screen:
Code:
OEM LOCK : OFF (L)
The bootloader welcome screen was shown in Asian characters, so I initially didn't realize what was going on, but in each case, my attempts to flash TWRP failed with the booatloader indicating it was blocked by the OEM lock. I ultimately did a few factory resets to see if they would have any effect. In some cases after factory reset, the OEM Unlock setting in developer options was present and in other cases it was not. However, in each case where it was missing, I was ultimately able to get it to appear by manipulating a combination of date/time and software update settings as described in numerous posts and articles.
What I didn't realize was that the Asian language welcome screen was simply asking me to press volume up to enable custom image flashing. After realizing this, my impression here is that the OFF/ON refers to the bootloader's interpretation of the OEM Unlock status, and the (L/U) refers to whether the user pressed volume up at the welcome screen (unlock to enable flashing custom images) or something else (leaving the bootloader locked).
However, now regardless of the OEM Unlock setting, I always see the following on the download screen, depending on whether I press volume down on the welcome screen:
Code:
OEM LOCK : ON (L)
or volume up:
Code:
OEM LOCK : ON (U)
I also see:
Code:
RMM STATUS : CHECKING
So, what's going on here? Did I just earn myself a 7-day RMM lockout, or is something else going on? I thought that 7-day lockouts were indicated by an RMM status of "PRENORMAL". How can I can get the bootloader to unlock properly?
The software build currently on the device is N9750ZSS2ASKB.
Thanks.

After a week (168 hours) of uptime, booting into download mode no longer results in an RMM status message. Although the OEM Unlock toggle in developer options is set to ON, the bootloader still does not reflect this, instead still indicating that the OEM lock is activated. How can I resolve this?
Thanks.
For all that wondered what was going on: the problem here was the lack of a long press of the volume up button on the bootloader unlock confirmation screen to complete the second stage of bootloader unlocking. Though this is clearly explained on the screen, this particular device features bootloader screens in Asian language characters which I sadly didn't understand.

Greetings,
I just wanted to share my solution to resolution of a brand-new Moto G7 Power XT1955-5 having the developer option "OEM Unlock" disabled. I see issues for a separate model here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-power/help/oem-unlock-greyed-t4061763
I do not know if my solution will work for other models. My XT1955-5 was manufactured in 2020 06 and purchased in US.
My intent here was to get the bootloader unlocked for installation of custom ROMS as quickly as possible.
Start Phone
Skip all setup options.
Enable Developer Mode
Enable USB Debug
In about phone > time/ date settings, disable all toggles
Set phone to a period of 8 days ago - arbitrary number
Reset Phone
Reset Date to correct date (leave toggles as-is)
Connect to a wireless network with access to Internet (I was using a WiFi, and did not try data)
Read first before attempt - Done quickly -> Phone begins downloading security patch (or it begins with next step - not sure) - Done quickly -> Attempt to set up an account (Google) whilst phone is downloading security patch - account setup waits for security patch update - Proceed to developer options - OEM Unlock toggle is available - Toggle during download.
I strongly suspect that there is some trigger associated with either downloading a security update, or simply attempting to enable an account on the phone (which requires you to be connected to data), but I do not know which. It is likely that there is not specific time sensitivity involved, but I am including my exact actions that resulted in success.
I hope it helps. Happy development!

Yes. The bootloader is now unlocked. I did have to obtain an unlock code from Motorola. The primary issue here was the inability to toggle "OEM Unlock".
I was using Motorola's guides that are linked from this website:
support . motorola . com/us/en/solution/MS87215
I have a metropcs Oneplus nord n100 I'm trying to access the the bootloader but oem option in developer mode is greyed out. Also i don't own a pc is there any way i can unlock.bootloader without a pc?
There are a few devices on which the bootloader can be unlocked without the need of a PC and fastboot command sets. For example, many Samsung devices can be bootloader unlocked by going to device Settings>About Phone and tapping Build Number 7 times until Developer Options is enabled. In Developer Options, enabling the OEM Unlock option will unlock the bootloader, thus disabling the layer of protection which restricts flashing of certain device partitions. Other than Samsung, there are some device OEMs and models which also allow bootloader unlocking in this manner. However, on most devices, in addition to enabling OEM Unlock, fastboot mode must be initiated, device and PC synced with a cable, and a command line or command set must be executed.
If your device oem unlock is greyed out, you can try unlocking it using fastboot and recovery mode with the help of a pc.

Thanks i will do further research and once again thank you for taking the time to reply
Carrier-locked devices generally do not have unlockable bootloaders, or at the very least until 6 months has passed for a SIM unlock in the case with Metro going by how T-Mobile handled bootloader unlocking with the OnePlus 6T. However, that's unconfirmed and I could not find any information on either carrier-locked models for the N100 regarding this matter. So for now, it's a dead end.
yes I'm having the same issue here with the be2015 metropcs variant. They're saying 180 days (6months) till able to unlock this phone. I've been searching for some sort of way around it but no lock as of yet. Please everyone keep us all updated just in case.
when i do
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
I get FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed.
I've been trying to follow this guide here with Shizuku but I'm also running into issues. any help here please? Thanks yall
Yeah, that tuturial in the other post that the mod locked, he also deleted the commands. I'm guessing there's an issue that xda doesn't want to be involved in, kinda like writing new imei's. So I guess we're kinda screwed.
I bought this phone cheap, €117 at a discount. And Its EU version, where I can unlock the oem bootloader on this phone.
You can enable OEM unlock in Debug menu with debloat until from girhub, but you cannot unlock bootloader in metro phones.
Even if you have got unlock token, OnePlus says that's imei failed.
So is there any way to unlock this phone from carrier?

if it's metro, it has the unlock app on it; still have to be paid up and 180 days in on your account, though

Just for the record everyone:
Bugjaeger Premium - Apps on Google Play
Debugging and maintenance tool for Android devices
play.google.com
Bugjaeger Premium actually allows you to use an OTG Connection, (Android-->Android), that enables A Real connection via ADB/Fastboot.
So for all those that have no PC, but have two devices, it is possible to use one to run the ADB or Fastboot consoles and run authentic commands. I use it all the time since a desktop isn't so portable.
It takes a little thinking when it comes to the directories used, but I've easily ran Fastboot oem unlock and flashing commands before on the go
