I've looked up several methods on how to unlock the T-Mobile andbthey all uncovered paying. Is there anywaybto unlock my phone without paying? Can I use any third party program? Please help, any will be taken. Thanks!
This needs to be in the Q&A section, not the Dev section, and if you look at the stickies for rooting you can use the gfree method to root and unlock your phone.
Sorry, but can I get a link or help on how to do it?

Uhmm, you are in the wrong section of the forum. There is a link in my signature. Follow it and you will get what you are looking for. There is also another link for coffee if you would like to buy me some after you are happy with your unlocked device

how do i flash to android (sprint mp6900 sp).. want to remove windows..
I just switched to T-Mobile from Verizon, and have a question. (I searched, but didn't find anything).
If I unlock G2 bootloader on T-Mobile (I assume this can be done) and root, is there a way to completely reverse the process and go back to stock in order to trade it in down the road on JUMP!?
It's a sticky in the general forum.

that really does not answer the OP question, the question is is there a confirmed was to untrip, root trip... apparently there are 2 trips from what i have seen, i have also been looking for the same answers.
Well considering the fact that the G2 bootloader has yet to be unlocked the first question is moot. Returning to stock will undo the "rooted" being shown in download mode.

My partner is looking at getting a new phone, and we are looking around at different models. We want one that we will be able to upgrade and flash custom ROMs on for obvious reasons. For the AT&T model, what's the status of the bootloader? I have read that someone had an unlock method a few months ago, but I've also read that new models have an update that breaks that method. Also I have read that there is a safestrap method to install custom ROMs without having to unlock the bootloader.
Can someone summarize the status of the above for me? We would be buying a new one from AT&T. Would we be able to unlock the bootloader, or use safestrap?
Thanks!

The best place to find the information you want is in the threads you said you read. There is nothing else to tell more than what is already in those threads.

Most of them haven't been updated in a month or more, or are dozens of pages deep. If you aren't going to be helpful then just don't comment. I frequent boards for other phones and try to help people with questions instead of condescendingly telling them to go trek through the labyrinth that is the world of Android development.

OK, continue being rude and lazy. I'll leave you to it.
Here's some help, your partner is probably going to get mk2 firmware. It's bootloader locked and probably always will be. You can use the right version of safe strap and flash a few roms.
Hello all,
I have a Verizon branded M8 AND have recently switched to TMob. The M8 is running 4.4.4 and is unfortunately still S-on and locked. Am I just stuck with a useless $600 phone until the Sunshine several developers come up with a way? Is that the only outfit with the capability of rooting this phone right now? Thanks in advance to anyone with any info.

Did you try calling verizon to get the unlock code?
If you have been with them for long, they will probably give it to you for free or maybe charge a fee but well you can use your phone then.
If they are unwilling to give you the unlock code then just say that you are gifting it to someone special or donating it. Just come up with a good humane reason and surely they will help.
They will also show you the procedure to unlock it.
Also as far as my knowledge goes, it is not possible to remove your phone carrier's lock using custom firmware.

I did try calling Verizon but i am trying to unlock the bootloader not the Sim. ... does that change your answer or should i try again?
See the htc forums on xda too.
Sim lock cannot be removed by flashing or installing custom firmwares. There is a separate procedure to unlock htc phones and their bootloaders.
I am familiar with htc sensation unlocking but don't know if it is the same for M8.
Will update you when I reach a full fledged computer with the relevant links.
You can also search the xda forums.

I am quite familiar with the htc bootloader and the unlock process. The process includes going to the htc Dev site and getting an unlock token that you then flash to the device using fastboot command. The problem is that verizon seems to be the only carrier who has somehow not allowed this. When you put your a string in on the dev site it comes back with a message saying "your carrier doesnt support" somethin like that neway.... i am wondering though if there is a way to do something at a more physical hardware layer. I mean it is jus a qualcomm chip at the end of the day... if i were to crack it open physically would i be able to access a non populated jumper that would completely erase the eeprom??

It could help. Just searched xda for you. It does not require you to get unlock token from Htc.
Disclaimer: I have not tried any of the above. You do it at your own risk.

Instead of asking on the main thread, I decided to ask here because it will get more attention by people.
I want to flash the fantastic LineageOS​ 13.0 build by @fedosis but I haven't even rooted my device so I want to know step-by-step steps from the start to do it. I prefer method which doesn't require a PC but if it does, I'll do it so please share your methods and also any alternative method if you have any.
Thanks.
First of all, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. Google miui unlock
