HTC Dev Unlock Works on Verizon HTC One - UPDATE: No Longer Works

No, I just sent him the code I got from HTCDev when I unlocked yesterday before the crackdown.
Will that work? If I went out and bought an HTC One today, could I just use someone else's unlock code?

No it wouldn't work like that. I forgot to say that I sent him the code because he wants to compare some peoples codes via a Hex Editor or something. If you try to use someone else's unlock code, it won't work.
If I can do something to help
I was one of the guys who unlocked the bootloader before the crackdown based on this thread saying it wouldn't take Verizon long to block it. If there's something I could do to help (as long as I won't be under too much risk of bricking my shiny new phone), don't hesitate to tell me what to do. Also, if there's a bounty anywhere for full S-Off, I'd be more than happy to pitch in. I just want to make sure this device won't be ignored by the hacking community now that the HTC Dev Unlock no longer works.

No - that code is somehow tied to your unique device ID

+1 here as well
I dont really know if this is something that will work or not but I thought it was worth getting a few other peoples opinions. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow edit the Unlock_Code.bin file that people got from the HTCdev site before it was locked down, if we can find a way to edit that file to work with another device we can continue to unlock devices.

I think the file is signed with HTC's private key which is why it is flashable... otherwise we could just flash anything
if you edit it the signature is altered
Thanks to all the hard work from the devevlopers over the past 24 hours. I also was able to unlock mine immediately after picking it up. I also flashed CWM recovery and have root. The debloat script worked like a charm as well. :good:
Really surprised to see HTC/Verizon reacted and locked it down as fast as they did. I understand it is being blocked on HTCdev but I am imagine someone at Verizon was frantically calling them just a couple hours into launch day screaming at them to block the tool.

Bragger!
Now I'm sad.. I was gonna unlock at work right when I got it and decided to wait until I got home. Boo to me..
Wow what a bunch of jerks at Verizon. Anyway, I'm fully unlocked, rooted, and have previous S-Off user experience with the GSM HTC One, so if there is any progress I'm more than happy to test any methods that aren't fully guaranteed to hardbrick the phone lol.
If root is still possible,...
Has anyone tried editing the build.prop to reflect the model of a GSM HTC One that can unlocked via the site? Simple tricks that like have often yielded favorable results.
I want to buy this phone today,... if I know it can be unlocked.

Well, now I'm not getting an HTC One.
I almost went to the store yesterday to get one, but I didn't really want to end up in a situation where I get a phone that later is not unlockable. It's not uncommon for me to need a replacement phone once during my contract. I was worried this tool would get killed right away and I wouldn't be able to unlock the replacement.
I hate Verizon. I wouldn't be on it if my wife didn't essentially need to be on Verizon. Maybe I'll bail off our family plan and switch to AT&T.

why GS4? The new ME7's build's bootloader is locked and I don't believe the DEVs found a way around it yet.... did they?

13Just want to let you guys know I might have found something.
I am PMing some other devs to get some help.5
I get that you're upset, but you have to realize that the amount of people who actually care about this stuff, the development community, is a TINY, TINY part of carriers customers. I mean look at XDA. It has 5 million users according to the front page... Well, Verizon alone has over 110 million customers.
We are just a teeny, tiny part of Verizon's customer base. Nothing is going to change, because the very large majority of cell phone owners don't care about unlocked boot loaders or s-off or ROMs or anything like that.4
