As the title suggests, the htcdev will not allow a Verizon M8 to unlock.
Can someone try performing a CID spoof to allow this process to go through?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to remove simlock once you have S-OFF...flashing a custom radio for example?
it is not possible...
Is there any way to do that without costumer help and web sites (network unlocking codes)?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
correct me if i'm wrong but wouldnt creating a goldcard (follow a simple google tutorial) and running a ruu then a s-off on the phone make it completely network independent?
No. It will just remove the network operators ROM and replace it with a Generic unbranded ROM.
Atleast, this is if you are S-OFF with AlphaRevX. S-OFF'ing with an XTC Clip will give you a Super CID, hence, that will unlock the Wildfire.
Hi, I'm trying to root my phone but am confused with some things.. When I attempt to obtain my unlock code from HTCDev I get the Error 160. I read this is because one of the newer builds keeps users from unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev (I have build 3.18). I looked around a bit and some of the things I found say I need Super CID to change my CID to 11111111 and then I would be able to get my unlock code from HTCDev. The problem is I need to be S-Off in order to do so and in order to get S-Off I need to have an unlocked bootloader and/or be rooted. I then found a thread with a similar problem to mine and they said to use temp root and then Super CID and another said to use Motochopper. I used Motochopper but it seemed to just be a One-Click Root Method, which did not work. I saw no option to change my CID but the OP in the other thread said he used it and fixed his solution (which again is similar, if not, the same as mine).

Like I said, I get an error when submitting my token, not because i copy and pasted it wrong. I copy it from <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>> to <<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>> but the 3.18 build keeps people from unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev and need to change my CID to 11111111 with SuperCID which requires S-Off which i need to have be rooted/unlocked bootloader which I can't get. But I have found a working temproot and will work on getting S-Off soon to use SuperCID to change my CID to 11111111 . If I can't figure out how to do it then that's fine. I was only interested in this mod for an app which works with the temp root! . As of now I won't be needing the full benefits of a permanent root.
I have the carrier unlocked m9 straight from HTC. I was wondering if you could flash something like the dev edition RUU or say the T-Mobile RUU on it with out any failure? If so what would be the pros and cons of each one? I have been led to understand that the only difference between the Dev and the Unlocked is that the bootloader is unlocked which is no big deal bc I'm unlocked and s-off.
The only reason I would be interested in flashing the T-mobile RUU is for the wifi calling and texting capabilities.
(I am aware that you can change both the CID and the MID through fastboot.)
Hello guys, I have had my htc one m8 for a while now and wanted to root the device. After looking through many websites, i realized that you had to unlock the boot-loader. However, when i went to check my fast-boot, i saw that the boot-loader was locked but instead of being S-ON it was S-OFF and i can't unlock the boot loader using htcdev. How do i unlock the boot-loader with s-off?
Kind regards,
Arbaaz
What happens when you try to unlock the bootloader by HTCDev.com? S-off shouldn't prevent you from doing so. If you are having issue with unlocking the bootloader, I have a feeling its due to other factors, not s-off.
Since you are s-off, you can use the following thread to manually change the bootloader flag to UNLOCKED: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571
Another possibility, is if the phone was s-off by sunshine, the device would still have a valid sunshine license. Just install the sunshine app, and see if you can unlock the bootloader using the app (no HTCDev.com process required to do it this way).

Hey guys, i am about to buy an M8.
I red something about htc sunshine. What is that ? Does this mean that i have to pay to use custom roms ? Please explain me
For most people, there is no need to use Sunshine to install a custom ROM.
You just need to unlock bootloader thru htcdev.com and install TWRP recovery to install ROM.
You need Sunshine only when you have a Verizon device because you can't unlock it with htcdev.com
You also may need Sunshine if you have a SIM locked to certain carrier device and you need to SIM unlock it to use with other carrier SIM.
If you're buying a unlocked device (International GSM), not necessary at all for Sunshine.
