Unlock Bootloader on HTCdev

On this web site is writen: "Supported Devices. Select “All other supported models” if you cannot find your phone in this list. Devices launched after 9/2011 will be shipped with the unlock capability. Please check back often for updates on the unlock status of additional devices."
What it means "Devices launched after 9/2011 will be shipped with the unlock capability" ? :confused:

That means than i am able unlock bootloader without HTCdev?

I bought HTC One SV in 05/2013.

Does anyone know the answer? :)

    You can now unlock your rezound's bootloader at http://htcdev.com/.

    Just follow the steps on htcdev.com, and at the last step you will have a factory reset. So, please make sure you do a backup before attempting this unlock trick. (Thanks to NilsP for pointing this out)

    Bootloader unlock will grant perm root and possibility of flashing customized roms.

    Note: S-on remains


    BE AWARE:

    bootloader unlock will VOID your rezound's WARRANTY, I am not responsible for any damage it may cause :eek:


    [INSTRUCTIONS]:

    [Prerequisites:]
    HTC Sync (Windows Only)
    HTC Super Tool
    Enable USB Debug on Rezound
    Use Charge Only mode when connected to PC
    Exit HTC Sync on PC

    [Steps:]
    1. Go to HTCDEV website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
    2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)
    3. Use HTC Super Tool in the [Prerequisites] to generate your token. (Or, alternatively, follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com)
    4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line
    5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.
    6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.

    Now you are unlocked. You can follow the following threads to obtain perm root, flash recovery, flash new kernel, and overclock.
    [Guide] You are Unlocked. Now What?
    [GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel

    7. After unlocking your bootloader, use this one to get perm root:
    One Click Perm Root (Thanks to NilsP)

    8. Flash the recovery if you need.
    [Recovery] Amon Ra style vigor
    [Recovery]ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4

    scrosler kindly provides a tool to flash the recovery or boot img.
    You can find it here

    9. Flash Deodexed ROMs:
    Clean ROM 1.0 from scrosler
    RezROM v1.0 Beta from lllboredlll

    Questions about flashing ROMs:
    Possibility of flashing ROMs (Thanks to scrosler)

    To uninstall the bloatware, try ROM Toolbox

    So, which root method is the best to use once we are freshly unlocked and returned to factory defaults?
    This one works good.

    I think the ones we have on here now for "Temp Root" do it a little different file locations and confuses the phone.

    I think the folder is my problem. Everything else was nice and smooth. Where do I create this file? I don't have the 3 files . I was able to install the SDK package. But don't k.ow where to find the 3 files.
    Sent from my Rezound

    For everyone that doesn't have/know how to work with the Android SDK, I've taken the files you need and added them to this zip file. It contains:
    ADB.exe
    AdbWinApi.dll
    AdbWinUSBApi.dll
    Fastboot.exe

    This is all you will need to get unlocked...enjoy

    Were are the recoveries when we need them :D

    here:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339679

    1. place the recovery.img (extracted from the zip) file in your c:\android folder (or whatever directory you used to unlock the bootloader)

    2. boot into fastboot, go to a command prompt (just like you did for bootloader unlock)

    3. use this command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

    I ran this and now have AmonRa on my Rezound....finally!!!!

    Epic!

    What about that AmonRa image?

    I'm hopeful there will be a TWRP2.0 or CWM image made for the Vigor now.

    Are you guys using HTC Super tool to perm root now?

    Should work.

    I thought S-ON locked the recovery partition but I'll take your word for it. Amon-Ra is already up and running on developer Rezounds. So let's rock this puppy.

    No, You can still flash recovery, system, data and boot. Nothing else. And you have to flash boot and reocvery using fastboot.

    I should so a Q/A thread on this. I have been through it all with the Evo 3D. I will put up something tonight that helps everyone get where they need to be. At work now :mad:

    Rock it? Oh yeah! You can count on this!

    So, am I correct in stating that this will allow us to do everything but Flash Radios & Kernels (or is it just Radios)?

    Radios, hboots, some other partitions you shouldnt be messing with.

    So would we be able to flash kernels?

    Yes.
