I finally managed to install Lineage os on this HTC One (m8) thanks to the help of Lemmy!

    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.
