[Q] Newly announced unlocked M9 available tomorrow - AT&T only? - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just read on CNET that HTC will start making the unlocked version available on its site at midnight tonight. A little digging seems to confirm that the model is based on AT&T's SKU. So, this won't work on Verizon right? (well I guess the 4g LTE should, but no voice?)

No, it won't since Verizon uses CDMA, which unlocked and developer variant don't have.

What I'm worried about is that they didn't announce a Developer Edition, just an unlocked one. I don't know how hard it would be to unlock the bootloader (never had an HTC device) but it's been difficult or impossible on past phones of mine.

Yeah I see now it's super easy on HTC phones. My Moto X 2013 AT&T on 4.4.4 can't be unlocked (according to an XDA sticky I read somewhere) so that's why I was worried.

Order a galaxy nexus but received a docomo. Should I keep it?

Like the title suggest I paid about 400 and I really don't know the difference between them but I'm sure this isn't one I should keep or should I? I would hate to go through the hassle of shipping and waiting but then again I want the correct version. The input is appreciated

I believe theres a DoCoMo thread in the General section, there's an unlocker app in the dev section as well originally made for GN-Docomo's
But my Sim card works I'm on att. I just want to know if there's a major difference enough so to return the phone. Every thing seems to be working fine I just don't want problems down the road because this is a domoco
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I think the differences are only limited to the supported network bands. But it seems everything's working fine for you on ATT.
On a firmware level, docomo may not be yakju stock - your future Android updates won't be coming through from Google but from Samsung, at a later date.

I personally would not keep Docomo version as from searching i found that with such version you have to either satisfied with being not permanently unlocked (SIM Unlock code request will appear each time you flash a new ROM or make a factory reset) or satisfied with being permanently unlocked but with generic IMEI.
When I bought my Nexus here in Vietnam there were a lot of Docomo ones but I rather waited for European version and was willingly to pay 20-50 USD more (Docomo version here in Vietnam is sold for 20-50USD cheaper than European version). Hope helped you with decision.

Asked for an AT&T HTC One, got a Verizon one, should I ask for a return?

Well the phone works on Indian GSM network, but this is a Verizon HTC One. Can I still flash WWE HTC One ROMs or am I screwed in that department?
EDIT: To clarify, I met a seller selling imported unlocked US HTC Ones, and said he would send me an AT&T One, but I got a VZW One instead.
Really?

well the vzw one definitely works fine on the indian gsm networks. if you want more options in terms of custom roms, yeah ask him for a return. it might be worth more hassle than it's worth though.

You can run ViperOne on any HTC One, so i wouldn't worry about it. Plus Philz CWM Touch is available for m7vzw, and some great custom kernels.
Of course, you did ask for something and got something else, so in all rights you could ask for the correct one you ordered. I love my m7vzw though.
Edit - btw, "unlocked" htc ones are not exactly hard to come by. You can unlock any HTC One with Rumrunner as long as you do it before updating firmware. Takes a couple minutes, and you do not need to really know anything except how to install correct drivers on your pc and read.

Thanks, I'm thinking of keeping it since sending it back and forth would probably take a couple of weeks. Currently running a debloated stock Verizon KitKat with ElementalX kernel and it's working really well (of course, s-off'd and unlocked). This wasn't hard to come by on eBay, but it was the cheapest from a reputed seller, so I bought it as an upgrade from my N4.
PS: I really need to remove the stupid "x attempts remain before your data is deleted" security feature, this will be a gold mine for my friends if they see this. Any ideas on how I can do this without changing ROMs?

Just so you know, the Verizon One doesn't support 3G UMTS/HSPA+, as far as we know anyway, and is limited to a few 2G GSM bands. It's designed specifically for Verizon's CDMA + LTE network with a couple international bands thrown in for roaming purposes - not the best model to use all the time in another country. You really want the AT&T model for proper band support, unless you don't mind poor coverage in areas where your carrier uses other frequencies.
Yeah the one is capable of making global calls but not handling global data.

Htc m9 potential for unlocked bootloader

What are your guys' thoughts about a unlocked/hacked bootloader on the htc m9? I want to get the m9 as soon as it comes out but I want it to have custom recoveries and such!
Not sure how anyone would really know that at it this point buddy.

haha I agree. Just asking for predictions I guess. Like people predicted that the s5 would have locked tight bootloader. Things might be different on the htc side though.
The rumor is that HTC's flagship for next year is codenamed "Hima" rather than M9. As to whether or not it'll be unlockable, it's really hard to say this early on.
I bet it will be unlockable since the other carrier versions will probably be able to be unlocked through htc dev, so my thoughts are yes. I bet within weeks of being released it will be cracked maybe even sooner. Just like the previous versions were, be nice if htc would accidently let it out with nothing ever leading back to them, because it would make a lot of customers happy and customers are who buy their phones verizon may sell them but its the buyers that control how many phones htc sells. Happy buyers = htc making a lot of $$$$
Well dev edition will of course have an unlocked bootloader by default.. I think most other carriers will be unlockable at htcdev like the m7 and m8 have been.. as for verizon, pretty sure unless an exploit is found the best they can hope for is root and thats it.

When I tested the Desire 612, the bootloader was unlocked and the device S-OFF, I just couldn't flash a custom recovery because there weren't any devices out there. (That didn't keep me from trying, and ultimately bricking my test device just before we were supposed to send them back.)
You have to know the partition sizes and addresses before you can mess with this stuff.
I'm holding out for an unlocked bootloader on EVERY future phone, not just the M9. Without TWRP, root and custom roms you might as well give up on life and get an iphone.
Upleaks postet some info about the bootloader, but it doesn't reveal much at this point..
https://twitter.com/upleaks/status/568235537015836673
I guess you can unlock with HTC dev website.
But I'm hoping for S-OFF
I'm hoping that there isn't any security except bootloader unlock

Sad
HTCdev has been allowing unlocked bootloaders for HTC's latest flagships. So hopefully they will keep going with that, I can't see why they wouldn't keep on with that trend.
They better allow the unlock via HTC-dev, this is currently one of the coolest things about HTC. If I can't unlock the bootloader, I'll be much happier sticking with my M8 or waiting for the next device with an easy bootloader unlock.
All HTC devices made after 2011 have unlockable bootloaders, which can be unlocked via HTCDev.com. However, you probably won't get a custom recovery at launch.

True, but those who buy ATT/Verizon phones must know the bootloader is locked and they usually pay less for subsidized & nobbled hardware. IMHO they deserve locked bootloaders for supporting ATT/VZW.

Difference between HTC 10 Carrier Models?

I've been running on an M9 for the past two years, and with the HTC11 coming around the corner, pricing on the 10 becomes very tempting. But I might be switching carriers from AT&T to Verizon, so I need to know if there's any difference now between the phones, or if they're all 'multi-carrier' at this point. IOW, do I need to look for a specific Verizon-variant or AT&T-variant, or is there no difference anymore?
Thanks in advance!

Verizon one is a CDMA variant, it supports most but not all of the Unlocked version LTE bands. Also you're at the mercy of VZW for software updates (they haven't even updated to Nougat yet).
On the other hand, the Verizon variant works with all their network features (e.g advanced calling) out of the box. To get the Unlocked version working on the VZW network, you'd have have s-off first and flash new radios. This isn't difficult to do, but beware of the added cost of having to S-off.
So then there are, in fact, two variants - CDMA for Verizon and GSM for AT&T. Correct?

Yes but the GSM one (referred to as U.S Unlocked) is not make specifically or only for AT&T, if that's what you mean. It's sold by HTC for use on any gsm network.
I believe there is also a version from Sprint that is a CDMA variant.
Edited my original post to say the Verizon variant doesn't support all of the Unlocked version LTE bands.

Hardware wise all models are the same. With S-OFF you can convert your model to any other.

So what you're saying is that the radio can operate on all bands, and I could theoretically buy a 'Verizon' model, re-flash the radio, and it becomes a fully functional AT&T model?
I'm asking, because back in the day, the radio hardware was different. Ive flashed ROM and radio combinations for my Inspire/Desire and M7. My present M9 is a bit of a disappointment, only because I'll never again buy a phone with a camera that lacks OIS. Hence my interest in the M10.
Unless, of course, the purported HTC11 us a world-beater, but truthfully, I'm not confident.

yes. You see lots of verizon users converting their unlocked to verizon or the other way round.
You just flash the HTC US Unlocked RUU, not just the radio. Supercid and set the mid to US unlocked.
You need s-off though..additionally it needs to be on Marshmallow. temp root on vzw nougat got patched and sunshine s-off won't work anymore.

Got it. I did Sunshine for my M9, and it was great. I'll wait to see what HTC does with the upcoming 11, and unless it's incredible - and worth $400 more than a NIB 10, I'll probably go with the 10 to save money and get a camera I can live with. It's hard to imagine what not having OIS can do to your pictures.

Because I'm getting closer to making a purchase, I'd like to touch on this one last time.
Since AT&T didn't carry the M10, I'm forced to look for a Verizon, Sprint or Tmobile variant. I prefer something New In Box, but it seems they're hard to come by, the best condition (and most adorable) being from Sprint.
But if I can't unlock and flash an RUU that would enable the phone to be fully functional on AT&T, it would wind up being an expensive paperweight.
So, any last assurances that this will work out no matter which variant I buy would really put my mind at ease.
Thanks again!

Hi,
I was in your situation and finally pulled the plug on Verizon variant. It came with an OS that is patched by Verizon blocking Sunshine S-OFF/Unlock. But browsing around XDA & google search, I found the steps and spent some $ to S-OFF/Unlock. Long story short, finally I ended up with HTC 10 Verizon variant converted to Developer Edition.
1) Will Verizon variant work with AT&T out of box? Yes, but LTE didn't work for me. I set bands to Global to get 4G. One thing I observed was unable to do OS update. I didn't invest much time on OS update because I was prepared to convert phone to unlocked well before purchase.
2) Which variant of HTC 10 is best? Unlocked if you can get good condition phone within budget. Else, refer point #1.

Seems the best price on FleaBay is about $430 with no warranty, but HTC has them for $499 brand new direct, probably because the Ocean is to be released in about three weeks.
I wonder if it makes sense to wait for the price to drop further, or buy now with a direct purchase in the hope of getting price protection and/or a warranty.
Does HTC include any warranty when buying from them?

be aware that it will just work on the verizon variant, when it is running marshmallow. temp root is patched on verizon when it is running nougat, means only way to s-off would be a javacard/mail in service handled by @jcase for example.

Update: Verizon Z2 Play is NOT Bootloader Unlockable-Verified

Hey guys,
So one of us had to sacrifice themself and it had to be me. I bought the z2 play from motos site and it came stock with the verizon logo and all. It came in from Wuhan, China built on demand and sent to my address in the usa. I got it about 10 minutes ago, followed the unlockbootloader protocol from moto and bam.....not unlockable. So don't waste your time folks. Unless you wanna deal with india reps for an hour to return it or well I'm still on the phone. So cheers! And you're welcome.

I'd agree with you but I am pretty sure there was a Verizon-specific Nexus 6 and it was bootloader unlockable.
Yes, I know it was a Nexus, and yes I know it was pretty much the same as the unlocked version... but there was still a VZW version of the phone. Just saying its not 100% though.

Name the last Motorola phone specifically for Verizon that wasn't a developer edition that you could unlock the bootloader out of the box. I'm pretty damn sure there aren't any. The 2015 Moto X Pure Edition is the closest thing to it but it wasn't a Verizon specific phone. It was simply one that worked on the Verizon network. OP is still foolish for even dreaming about a Verizon/Moto phone with an unlocked bootloader.

Your last Motorola Droid phone had an officially unlockable bootloader? Since the Droid line came out? You should have known that Droid phones don't have unlockable bootloaders unless they are developer edition models. Bro, you're not a hero. Only a fool buys a phone to test for an unlocked bootloader then tries to return it when he can't. There are loads of people that have bought the phone that would like an unlocked bootloader that can test it but plan on keeping it either way. You wasted time and money for nothing.

Thanks to the op for sharing their experience. Not sure how useful some of the snarky replies are.

My thoughts exactly. I'm hoping to purchase the unlocked version when it's available, root / unlock bootloader, then pop in my Verizon Sim.

Stuck in the build phase with no delivery on the 18th. Keep checking on line in faint hope it will speed up.
