Hi ,

I unlocked many new devices and now i get an M8 device with HTC dev unlock.
My last HTC was a desire s, so iam not up to date with HTC at the moment.

If i know a way to flash an unlocked hboot.img to mmcblk0p11 can i get troubles with THW phone?
HTC sells soff full unlocked devices, if i flash this partition to my device and Boot to bootloader and change then my cid must the m8 work normaly,right?

I want flash it not with the board HTC methode, but direct partition to partition.
If someone tried this vor can give me infos that wäre nice.

THX for help

What do you mean with that cant be done?
That its not possible because HTC security mechanism give me info like "is not possible because of..." or you mean the flash goes well but after that flash the device make trouble?

Backup

Without S-OFF you have no access to any other partitions other than those required to flash a new ROM
Thats not right in all. Some ways are always there. I have made a backup of every partition from the M8 now.
I could flash it with a little trick, get no error message but i try it first with my old Sensation XE. Iam loooking for a Hboot right now for the XE and then i trust me to give the M8 a shot.

I will post what is happening :confused:
