Awesome, friendly reminder for everyone who has HTC phones to get the unlock codes ASAP. They could shutdown their servers any day.
Also you don't have to use them. I just have a few unlock codes for phones backed up, just in case I want to custom rom them in the future.
I don't have an HTC but I got interested, do you have to contact support or anything similar to get a code to unlock the bootloader/root the device (kinda like Windows XP activation)? I've only rooted a Samsung Galaxy Ace and all it took was to boot into recovery and run a zip file. Sorry for any mistakes regarding terminology.
No I still have an old HTC Developer account I created years ago. And I can still generate tokens. Only issue is that people can't create new HTC dev accounts.
I have an M8 in perfect condition. I stopped using it when the HTC gallery bug corrupted a bunch of my photos.
What is this about unlock codes? How do I get them? Do I need to use them ASAP?
I don't have the time to research and go through the steps to do this right now but I would like to use it in the near future.
