[Tutorial] How to unlock HTC ONE M8 SPRINT for GSM?

Recommended Posts

You have 2 options.

1. Use sunshine, get it s off and then unlock it. Sunshine will set you back by 25$ but opens up lot of options after you do s-off.

2. Use custom ROM like Badboys and unlock it. The method is mentioned in the second post of the thread.

Thanks for your help. For the custom Rom do i need to update firmware? Everytime I try it doesn't update. The HTC Sync Manager just says sending for a long time and I have to reboot.

Hello,

I have HTC One m8 Harmon Kardon Sprint version phone. I rooted it and I followed your steps. It's working great for my local carrier SIM card except mobile data network mode. It's only active for the EDGE. It doesn't show WCDMA signals. I went through *#*#4636#*#* code and changed the network. But It's doesn't work for me. Please Help.....

Thank You.

Firewater has been discontinued. It won't work. You have to use sunshine.

can anyone post the firewater as i am unable to find it

Firewater has been officially discontinued as per there website. The old setup file of Firewater also does not work as there is no support available.

Only sunshine is currently available for S-off which is chargeable at $25.

Guys first you should install custom rom .

insertcoin rom worked for me like a charm

here is link http://insertcoin-roms.org/category/devices/onem8/

don't know anything on lollipo rom , but it worked on 4.4.4

so install kitkat and do that , after that you can update to lollipop

Hi,

Thanks for your help! Just realised that phone is S-ON, firewater-discontinued and sunshine not working (syntax error occurred). Is S-Off pre-requisite to ROM install? Any alternate ways to make it S-Off?

I am unable to decide which ROM to install from insert coin. My phone specifications are -

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.18.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.08.20.0612_4

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) version-main: 2.16.651.4

(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON

(bootloader) product: m8_whl

(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B70000

(bootloader) cidnum: SPCS_001

(bootloader) battery-status: good

(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV

(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic

(bootloader) security: on

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP

Please help me in choosing the right ROM.

Thanks!

There is no need for S-off .

I've unlocked ,while my phone was(and is) S-on.

install any 4.4.4 rom from insertcoin and you're ready to go
