Hi All,
Is there a way to s off my HTC 809d dual sim variant? It is a Chinese CDMA/GSM variant.
The fingerprint scanner was broken when I tried to root it with an App from the App Store. The hboot displayed "Tampered" at the first line. I even had not unlocked it through HTCDev!!!
I saw the thread written by @Punk9(here), he wrote the guide to re-enable the fingerprint scanner, he gives me the hope, although a Sprint variant.
Then I unlocked my phone, compiled a twrp recovery, flashed a unsecured boot, and rooted it. But the rumrunner for HTC One Max does not work, I have tried many times.
Can anyone provide me some helps or informations?
Thanks very much
BTW: The HBoot version is 2.47...

Use the UNIVERSAL rumrunner package.... The one you are using is most likely for the USA Verzion(it's a carrier) model.
Wow, thanks for the infomation. I am going to try it.

Can you change from charge only mode to sd when you have your phone connected to pc?
If I choose havedisk on my phone then my sd card shows up but when I have it hooked up to the computer nothing shows up only on my phone
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Your going to have to try another pc. If you can't see the sd on another pc then it would probably be the usb port on your phone. What it looks like is that either the rx or tx contact on the phones usb port is damaged. If you don't have another pc then take it to sprint and tell them that you can't transfer data to your sd via pc. The will check the port for you.
Ok I noticed when clicking from charge only to media sync where the phone icon would show on the computer something flashes there when I switch them but its so fast I can't read what it says but it doesn't stay
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Yup it sounds like the USB port on the phone, you said you tried another cable right?
Okay so ive seen a few posts on xda from the s-off devs already. How long you think till we get unlocked and rooted?

The international one has root and recovery already. I guess htc dev works to. Maybe us at&t users will luck out.
US carriers promised to lock things down tightly after the One came out. I guess we'll see.
Good thing i have a 14 day return period lol. Cant live without root.
do we know if this device has a locked bootloader that will be hard to crack or will they actually design it to be unlocked like sony does.
im trying to decide between m8 and z2, and i know sony has been cool in the past with allowing the phone to be easily rooted and unlocked to allow flashing. i am coming from a galaxy s4 with unlocked mdk bootloader but i am upgrading and i want to be able to mod my phone

I have returned quite a few phones that I have relocked and unrooted without one problem through warranty exchange. I'm not concerned with it at all and I am on the Next program as of this phone. Besides that, the warranty is up after the 1st year. This is just my experience and I can't speak for everyone.

Hello guys,
I just got the new HTC One M8 from AT&T and looking for the SIM unlonk to use it with another GSM carriers.
I need your help to unlock it.
Thank you!
Not sure if there is a free method but I've always used CellUnlocker and have never had a problem:

I used cellunlocker.net over the weekend, to sim unlock my ATT M8, worked flawlessly.
I don't know if you paid full retail at AT&T but if you did why not just get the unlocked version directly from HTC? You'll be free from bloat

If I unlocked bootloader on AT&T does it become equivalent to Dev Edition M8 hardware wise? (I know that they come in different software flavors).
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I'm just trying to reason why will anyone want to buy a developer edition?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
The only benefits in buying a dev edition is:
No carrier branding
No preloaded carrier apps
Sim free
Bootloader already unlocked
Faster updates with Sense
But if you unlock your AT&T bootloader and flash a international rom you'll have the same device with no more AT&T apps and settings.
Plus with root you can always flash the latest leaks from any variant

If I'm correct both devices are S-On.. One just has a bootloader unlocked from the factory. And once we get S-Off then it wouldn't matter what rom or RUU you use. You'll be able to SuperCID and do much more

If you don't have a tethering plan, tethering works out of the box on the unlocked and developer models. Then there's the AT&T bloat you can't remove without S-Off.
Other than that, they're pretty much the same and I'm happy with my bootloader unlocked AT&T model, though I would really like to get tethering working.

When you unlock your bootloader you void your warranty. We can do whatever we want to our devices and still be covered under HTC Manufacturer Warranty. You Bork your phone you have to find a way to fix it.

My credit card covers my phone warranty for two years as long as I purchased the phone via it. So I'm covered. If something happens, all I gotta do is take a brick and bash my phone with it, my credit card will cover hardware damages as well. Lol.
There are ways around everything, you just need to know it. Either way, I've never been scared to lose crappy warranties just because I felt the need to unlock the phone lol.

Unlocking boot loader MAY void your warranty. In the USA and Europe it will not(unless they can prove 100% that you caused the issue) due to consumer protection laws. Varies by country.

I just got my phone two weeks ago and love it, coming from a Verizon note 2.
I have been reading a lot about unlocking the HTC M8, and it's seems completely different animal compared to unlocking my note 2 was, so I just want to read and learn a lot before I start messing with this phone.
I had my note 2 down to a science flashing and changing stuff around on it. With the HTC it looks like there is a lot of adb stuff that I'm not to familiar with. I have been reading about hansoons tool kit and it looks pretty straightforward, so any more advice you guys could give me would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Adb is actually pretty easy. There is a video on YouTube from Sakitech that walks you through it

Another thing I can tell you, is it is much easier to use a Windows7 pc to do this than Win8
But once you go down this path, it's like the old days of ROMs and kernels and custom recoveries. Very exciting.

I'm just nervous I guess because the whole root, unlock and recovery is a little different than I am use too and I'm out of my comfort zone.

You can flash any ruu. Kinda like odining your note back to stock. Currently if you somehow bricked your partitions there is no stock att firmware file. There is a international file that you could flash to fix partitions. If you didn't have super cid you could not do this. Need soff to get super cid. Plus you can remove the tampered text in bootloader, flash newer firmwares way before at&t releases them, truly convert your phone to any m8 variant, truly relock bootloader with no relocked text.

Granted you would have to really try to mess up your partitions.

Thanks for the quick response, forgot about RUU's. I was worried coming from the awesome modding community of the S3, but I'm glad to see this device is just as open and has plenty of support. Good thing returned that S5

Is their any way to "S-On" if I need to for some reason? I'm waiting to unlock because I don't want to use HTCDev. I don't know how long I can wait though haha.

Yes but it throws a security flag.

Okay thanks. That is what I'm trying to avoid- if I have a hardware defect I would like to be able to flash stock like it was never unlocked.

There is no way to do that atm. Hardware defects are usually covered. HTC doesn't void all warranty. I know one person that broke their screen and they said just make sure bootloader is locked when it gets back to them. I always recommend insurance through carrier.

You can't go through life worrying. You could wait and wait and a new method may become available or maybe not.

I too am coming from a note 2. Just like the OP. I'm loving this phone. Had it for 2 weeks now. About to take the plunge soon cause my flashing addiction is getting to me. I guess my question is are the roms from the international m8 be used on this phone as well? Along with the kernels? Sorry for the sounding like a newbie. It's just been years since I've had HTC. The last time was in Windows mobile days.

Now I know the basic benefits of S-Off, but how does it make the M8 more brick proof? Just wondering if it's worth it

It should be kept in mind that S-off means all security checks are off. That includes device check. So you have to be careful to only flash mods meant for this device. Accidentally flashing something meant for another device can brick the phone, if for instance it overwrites hboot. Seen it happen on the One X/XL (flashing an ENDEAVORU ROM on an EVITA). But stay in this device forum section, and you will be fine.
With the proper care, I agree that s-off gives more recovery options.

I'm just nervous I guess because the whole root, unlock and recovery is a little different than I am use too and I'm out of my comfort zone.

You must have had some kind of learning curve with your previous device. Every device can be a bit (or very different) and especially different manufacturers. But just take the time to do the proper reading and understanding, and you will be fine.
I'm new to the HTC as well. I had the Motorola Atrix which I unlocked the bootloader via fastboot but still was nervous as anything. I had the S4 and just got this. ADB is my weakness and I've read about the supercid but wasn't sure what the purpose of doing it was off I was rooted and unlocked. Welcome to the M8 .

Yeah its not been to bad of a learning curve just different, previously all my rooting and unlocking has been with Samsung.
I have already rooted my m8 unlocked and s-offed, just waiting on a stock RUU just to have a another back up just in case.

I just s-off'd my wifes phone, removed tampered from both, and removed the red test from splash screens. I little slow trying to make sure I get everything exact but all went smooth. Great support in this forum.
