Proof that it works. I performed a hard reset to reset my phone manufacturer ID and carrier. Don't have to run windows insider hoping to get grd2 when this method is more effective.

1st don't quote the whole OP!
2nd if you would have read the post on windows phone central you would have found your answer, yes it works without any problem but it might take a few hours for the update to finish downloading.
it work on my lumia 720 or not?
Semi-rhetorical question:
What the heck is wrong with people such that quoting massive posts just to ask a single question - one that doesn't actually require any context from the first post - seems like a good idea? Stop it, and fix your spam. Looking at you, @adityaonline07 and @A AJAY...

There is. Don't install insider or it will break some things necessary to get win8.1 update2 (also reported on http://forums.windowscentral.com/samsung-ativ-s/353229-[guide]-how-update-8-1-2-a.html)
If you did install insider, hard reset. If that is not enough, reflash to cyan.
Then do as suggested here with any registery editor in HKLM Sofware :
PhoneMobileOperatorName >> 000-88
PhoneManufacturerModelName >> WinWin
PhoneManufacturer >> HIGHSCREEN
Check for updates, wait, and it will find 15137. Install it (in theory it works)\Then revert the values to what they were, for example for a AT&T 1020:
PhoneMobileOperatorName >> 000-88 >> ATT-US
PhoneManufacturerModelName >> WinWin >> RM-877_nam_att_205 (or RM-877_nam_usa_957 for unbranded)
PhoneManufacturer >> HIGHSCREEN >> NOKIA
My problem is that theory didnt work:
it fails if I do the hardware reset with:
8007000d
it fails if I don't do the hardware reset with:
8018830f
Hi,
A couple days ago I used this guide and it worked fine in my Lumia 530. In fact, it updated my phone to 8.10.15137.148 (before 8.10.15116.125).
Lumia 530 dual SIM, Nicaragua, spanish language, working smoothly.
Thanks, it works in my Lumia 630DS

Which version it was before you updated? You used values for WinWin?
I thought this method doesn't work anymore.
So, will this work on Nokia Lumia 520? I just want the features of GDR2 and get the apps & games that are not compatible with Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 and below... I want to get the answer from here before proceeding. (It is because I killed my phone 5 times due to the first 4 I updated my phone to W10M TU and the 5th time its editing the registry keys as Nokia Lumia 1520 to get W10M insider preview update, and I don't want to repeat that...)

About flashing Cheetah
Cheetah can be flashed from SD card or from an activesync connection
with the included utility.
- Screenshots updated to include Cheetah v3.2s
First to post, looking forward to this new rom, name sounds impressive....
I can beta test
Good luck
ljankok welcome to the LEO threads, i`m looking forward to testing your HD2 version of Cheetah.
Hi,
I want to try your ROM, but any info about the suitable radio to use?
Thanks...
@patensas
Good to see you here, thank you.
@silverwind
I have updated post 4 for info about the Radio version I use.
@spikerosoft
Cheetah is the name of my Topaz ROM. Thank you for the
offer to Beta test.
Cheetah Nostalgia 1.0 is based on the same kitchen structure
as the Cheetah 4.3S business edition for Topaz so the testing
scope was limited
@all
Enjoy this release!
thanks Bro
Downloading it now and revert to you soon...
BTW, any plan to post screen shots? I see that this ROM is Com2 (Winmo 6.5), right?
Any plan to cook for 6.5.5 version?
Thanks and cheers....
Thank you for the COM2 ROM... I see most chefs going to COM5/COM3 ROM nowdays.
I love COM2 ROMs. Will let you know my experiences after flashing my HD2
Mirror link pls.
@silverwind
Good idea, I will include some screenshots.
Yes, the ROM is 21901 (COM2)
No plans to cook a 6.5.5 version
@leocan
Why do you want a mirror? I thought that mediafire is fine for everyone..
Please tell your experience.
And second, would http://www.4shared.com/ work for you?
Screenshots
Here`s some screenshots, remember Shake and Save was installed after flashing Cheetah and isn't part of the rom.
@ljankok
I will play with it for a few hours and report to you
Edit:
I must say Cheetah rocks as it comes to speed! Well done.
Things i found:
1: i`m guessing your using the latest Settings Improvement package since the serial number isn't shown right.
2: in "About Phone" the Phone name says "HTC_Diamond2"
3: no browser snapshots in Internet tab ( my guess this is because you use opera 9.7 v36000 )
4: in Mail Setup wizard you can't enter domain ( field is grayed out )
5: Bluetooth toggle doesn't work in Comm Manager
6: Bluetooth icon missing in taskbar
7: WiFi wizard gets stuck after disconnecting WiFi
ljankok please remember i`m reporting these issues so you know they exist.
In now way what so ever this isn't meant as "helping you out"
Now i`m back to my Dutch [email protected] rom. Will try any updates you`ll be releasing

2: in "About Phone" the Phone name says "HTC_Diamond2"
>> This is what I meant with Nostalgia .. You can type something different
>> Seeing "HTC_Diamond2" gives me a warm feeling
3: no browser snapshots in Internet tab ( my guess this is because you use opera 9.7 v36000 )
>> I didn't enable it. It can be enabled though with a registry setting.
4: in Mail Setup wizard you can't enter domain ( field is grayed out )

5: Bluetooth toggle doesn't work in Comm Manager

Well i tried all the Opera 9.7 36*** packages in my Dutch rom and couldn't get them to show thumbnails at all. All the 95*** packages work. That's why this was one of the first things i looked at after flashing Cheetah
Also since Cheetah once again is a slim and speedy rom i've tried instaling andriod dual boot cab and tried booting Android, this was without any luck. Don't know why though.
I have a Samsung Focus v 1.3 running 7720.68 mango. I am trying to enable "internet sharing" by following instructions from forums below but didn't get it to work. Here is my response to each step:
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is WP Dev Tools? Where to get it for Samsung Focus v1.3? And also, my phone is already unlocked (I can use both T-Mobile and ATT sim) so do I even need this?
2.) Use the Application Deployment tool to send THIS to your phone. You do not need to run it and you can delete it after it has been deployed.

Click to collapse
what application deployment tool? where to get it?
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634#
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did this and Diagnosis app is showing-up. ver.0103)
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and restart your phone.

Click to collapse
when I do this, all I see is "GPRS MANAGER"
and then a drop-down "Select GPRS"
-> Gumi Test Bed
-> Suwon2g Test Bed
-> Suwon3g Test Bed
(I don't see option to select "System Tweaks")
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, it doesn't
First, download & install WP 7.1 SDK from here (Application Deployment is part of this SDK).
Next, unlock your phone (it's not sim-unlocking, it's like jailbreaking). "How to" in this thread
Then, you should install the app to your phone and only if you do this, you'll can select 'System Tweaks' in Diagnosis app.

Thanks. I don't completely follow this. I will continue trying. All threads seem to have instructions pre-Mango update and my phone is already running Mango.
EDIT:
I found something called ChevronWP7 - can I use this to jailbreak/unlock Samsung Focus (v 1.3) Mango phone? My OS version etc. are as follows:
OS-version 7.10.7720.68 ,
Firmware: 2103.11.8.1 ,
Hardware revision: 3.1.0.7,
Radio Software: 2103.11.8.1 ,
Radio Hardware: 0.0.0.3,
BOOTloader: 5.8.0.2 ,
CHIP SOC version: 0.36.2.0
Never mind. I downloaded Chev WP and unlocked using that. Now internet-sharing works. It's amazing. I had to pay $9 for CWP though.
One more question (for everyone): Samsung Focus v 1.3 ear-peice volume is very low. It's set to 10/10 but it's still low. I know that from Diagnostic app we can increase it but I am not sure what values to set.
Here are my current values, what should I change to increase volume of phone earpeice/speaker? (not using any bluetooth or corded handset)?
Sound tuning (what's this/what does it do?)
1, 1c, 74, 4, 23, 9d, 9b, 12
System Gain Attenuation (what's this, what does it do?)
7, 130, 0
Class Gain Attenuation: (what's this, what does it do?)
7, 0, 5
Device Gain Attenuation (what is this?):
7, 1500, -500

You could just downgrade to 7004 and unlock your device free, and then install updates in zune

Ok, here is the answer:
Click Get under the Device Gain (max/min)
In the first box keep the number 7
In the second box put 16000
In the third box put 0
Click Set
Click Start
Click the home button.
Restart your phone.

Whoa! Isn't 16,000 too high? I mean, did you mean 1600? Right now, it's 1500. 16,000 is like 10x! Not that I understand what these values are and how they work but I just want to be sure it's not a typo before I change it on my phone. Don't want to accidentally brick it as I did an iPhone last year
when I do this, all I see is "GPRS MANAGER"
and then a drop-down "Select GPRS"
-> Gumi Test Bed
-> Suwon2g Test Bed
-> Suwon3g Test Bed
(I don't see option to select "System Tweaks")
Hopefully someone can help me. Also if I am hi-jacking this thread a little my bad. Anyway, my device is not dev-unlocked and I accidently changed my GPRS settings and now the device Data does not work at all. I tried all three and none seem to work.
I have ATT in US. Is there someother settings I need to change to get my data to work again? Which profile is supposed to me default?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue. For any Googlers out there I did it by doing:
Try Phone Control > [7] Network Control > [1] GCF > [3] Setting Cancellation > Wait for it to say success. Then reboot. Then I just re-did the process and the phone unlocked again and the internet is working fine.

This may be a dumb question, if we do this kind of unlocking, will I be able to upgade to future version of OS updates?

Yes, you would, but only when the carrier (the one that the phone is registered to) releases the update. In many cases, that's too late but you can manually update, read this thread.
Note 3 + Android 10 + root (Video recording & editing of system file >> DON´T WORK <)
Hello XDA friends, thank you for this forum
I am a beginner user, only that I have been awake for 3 days until 5am watching YouTube video in all languages and putting into practice all the steps.
I hope you can find a solution.
I CAN'T RECORD :crying:
Pressing the record video button gives me these two messages at the same time.
> Could not start media recorder
> Can´t star video recorder
I put all the information in order.
Mobile: Note3 N900W8
Android version: Android 10 Havoc-OS
Super user: activated
Root: 100%
Camera2 API: LEGACY
Problem 1: I have tried to replace the patch in the file since:
> SYSTEM> VENDOR> Lib> libmmcamera2_sensor_modules.so
I have also tried to replace the file since:
> SYSTEM> build.prop
The answer is :
>> Read only files cannot be deleted <<
Problem 2: I have tried to edit from the pc by means of:
> USB driver and the computer does not recognize it.
(Although I have not tried this much because I do not know the commands that should change for this mobile)
Postscript:
I know it is something I am not doing well since the camera worked well before root.
(I first installed Android 9 Lineage 16 and the same thing happened)
I have tried to change the patches because it has been the solution I found.
-Do you think changing the patches is a solution? How can I ACTIVATE the EDIT SYSTEM FILES option?
-Do you know ANOTHER SOLUTION to solve it?
I hope the information is in order and clear.
Thank you all in advance.
********** ANNOUNCEMENT - Beta Enrollment without Banner (OPEN NOW - Nov 16,17) - Read More Here
INTRODUCTION - Hello all. Now Samsung wants us to go to Members app and keep looking for banner to sign up for Android 11, One UI 3 Beta . It went live October 27th, 10:20 PM EST, As fate would have it, i went to sleep early, i missed it and the banner refused to show up for me in the morning. Download was only showing up for people with unlocked variants on ATID firmware.
DISCLAIMER / NOTICE - Flashing is always risky. I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device including but not limited to it turning against you, making you its slave and sucking you into the Matrix.
This post is a collection of wisdom, research and hard work of many people over many years across many forums and not just XDA. I will try to credit and link to their original posts.
TIP -Keep in Notice -This SHALL NOT Factory Reset Your Device or Format Data, it is still a good idea to Take Back Up - Just a Suggestion - Always have a latest Back Up
******** UPDATE - It seems ATT devices are getting wiped now if its CSC or the Sim remains to be tested.
i don't have ATT hence cant verify but in case you have an Unlocked device (N986U1) with ATT sim, then, removing sim and Changing the CSC to XAA/XAA/XAA before sideloading Beta is advisable.
PROBLEM STATEMENT - Missed the One UI 3.0, Android 11, Beta Sign up Banner in Members app or got the banner but didn't get the download and I really want it NOW.
Not sure if you want it now? - Find the BETA CHANGELOG HERE
GRAB YOURSELF A COFFEE / DRINK, because depending on where you at and how fast you/your internet speeds/your Machine is this may take anywhere between 7 to 45 MinsSOLUTION -
1. Pre-Requisites - Make sure Following Conditions are met before you start
You need a PC/Laptop along with your phone and USB Cable.
You need ADB installed, you can use ADB on Linux too - NOTE If your ADB Tools are not working, download my ADB Folder called platform-tools. Then extract it somewhere easy to remember/ find, like desktop
Remember the Location of the folder where you have ADB installed / Location of platform-tools- This is the location containing adb.exe file.
You may or may not need ADB/USB Drivers if any errors in ADB please Download Drivers from here and Install on your PC.
This following one step is relevant Only for flashing Beta 1
Use Odin to Flash Unlocked (SM-N986U1) ATID Firmware if you are not on that. Refer this thread to get your Firmware.
For changing Firmware from N986U to N986U1 and / or GUIDE TO FLASHING USING ODIN Refer This thread
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Now Download the relevant Beta File that you intend to flash - note that to Sideload Beta 2 you need to be on Beta 1 first. Mandotory Sequence = Beta 1>>Beta 2>>Beta 3 There is no skipping versions possible here.
BETA 1 (ZTGJ) Get the Beta1.zip file from here Thanks to @thatotherguy.. for the original zip.
BETA 2 (ZTK1) Get the Beta2.zip file from here
BETA 3 (ZTK9) Get the Beta3.zip file from here

*************** Apply Update from SD card failed for me (Feel free to try that ) but here we will be using ADB Sideload Feature in Stock Recovery*************
HOW TO - Using ADB Sideload - Windows -The Process is Similar for Linux too
1. Copy the downloaded zip file to the ADB Folder (From Pre-Requisite step). ADB Folder is the folder containing ADB.exe it might be named differently for you (The one i have posted is called platform-tools)
2. Open Command Prompt Window as Admin.
3. Type in
Code:
cd Copy-paste the location of your ADB folder here
4. Connect the phone to the PC using USB Cable and Unlock it. Go to Developer Options and Switch on USB Debugging.
To turn on developer options go to Settings>>About Phone>>Software Information>> Then tap the build number 7 times - Developer options will appear at the bottom of Settings Menu
5. On your PC Type in Command Prompt
Code:
adb devices
6. Give Permission that appears on your phone and PC - I check the box Always Allow, you should do the same.
7. Now type the following and the phone will reboot to recovery.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
8. Once you see recovery on your phone Use Volume Keys to scroll down to Apply Update from ADB and press Power Button.
9. Now on your PC, Type the following in Command Prompt; this is just to be sure, it should show the device name with Sideload next to it.
Code:
adb devices
10. Type
Code:
adb sideload Beta1.zip
For Beta 2 use adb sideload beta2.zip Similarly For Beta 3 use adb sideload beta3.zip. Use whatever you have named the zip file. Most people use update.zip. The commands here are for the attached files in this post and their naming convention.
11. Wait for it to finish and Done
2nd (Second) BETA Is Out- How To Do this if you are not able to Enroll for Beta and or don't see update to download even after Enrolling

I flashed on an Unlocked one so there is no way for me to tell if this can be flashed on N986U since so many people have flashed Unlocked firmware on the U devices using Odin (One confirmed guy flashed unlocked firmware on Verizon locked device and got the Beta banner) hence i think this will work for all Snapdragon devices. Give it a try and see. Just that before you try this make sure you are on ATID firmware.

Too early in the morning to go out and test that. This is Beta and i have already encountered some bugs. So you have to be up for that.
Good Lock wont work, gesture navigation is buggy, you can not even apply wallpapers from the Galaxy Themes app.
Wallpaper Service on the other hand is greatly improved. Fingerprint sensor is much faster.

My friend there are so many reasons why that error can happen. Sometimes you might have to change the ADB version. I am attaching the platform-tools i used. Extract this zip inside folder on desktop and try. If that doesnt work you might need to update ADb/Samsung drivers. Let us know if this works.

CHANGELOG
v1. Initial release
1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe HTC One M9 pack : https://bit.ly/djibe-onem9-pack
(includes HTC USB Drivers, recovery TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 for all M9, Magisk Root, adb, fastboot.exe and htc_fastboot.exe).
Unzip the djibe folder from the zip on root folder of C:\ drive.
- ROM for Himaul or Himawl: Unofficial LineageOS 18.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-0-0-himaul-himawl-lineageos-18-1-unofficial.4199175/unread
Download latest build here: https://mirror.codebucket.de/claymore1297/LineageOS/18.1/hima
Android 12.1 / LOS 19.1 is WIP (no telephony yet): https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-1-0-himaul-himawl-lineageos-19-1-unofficial.4378803/unread
Or you can use AICP 17.1 right below
- ROM Android 12 for other Hima models: Android Ice Cold Project Official 17.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-1-0-hima-android-ice-cold-project-17-1-unofficial.4399865/
Download latest build here: https://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/
### Localisation (GPS) must stay turned ON to get Telephony
Or try crDroid 7.12
- NikGapps-SL ARM64 Core or Basic: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Releases/NikGapps-SL/
- Charge phone to 100%
- 8+ GB MicroSD card formatted in FAT32
- Copy ROM + Google Apps +/- Magisk root zipfiles without unzipping content. Insert microSD in phone.
WARNING. This tutorial uses Microsoft Windows.
WARNING. Warranty is now void.
WARNING. Read carefully the sentences starting with ###.
2) BACKUP DATA AND INSTALL DRIVERS
Disable Antivirus.
Install drivers from my pack:
right click on HTCDriver.exe > click on Run as administrator and continue the setup.
Connect HTC One (while phone on) to PC, let drivers install.
In Windows explorer, HTC One should be available.
### If not make sure phone connection is in File transfer mode (see Android notifications).
### Phone is still not visible in Windows Explorer ? See fix at end of tutorial.
Collect all personal photos, videos, etc ... and backup these on PC.
Use an app like Backupyourmobile/SMS Backup & Resotre to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Disconnect phone.
### If your phone is Simlocked/carrier locked/Network locked, don't go further.
Visit official website of your network carrier (or call their support) to retrieve your desimlock code.
Ask them for details on how to remove simlock.
How do I know my phone is simlocked ? When you insert a SIM card from another operator, network is inaccessible.
Only a stock ROM can remove simlock.
To go back from custom ROM to stock, see dedicated section at the end of tutorial.
2) KNOW YOUR MODEL
Shutdown phone.
Start in fastboot mode: hold Power + Volume- until it vibrates and release both buttons.
Wait until hTC download mode shows up.
On mine I see:
SECURITY: *** UNLOCKED ***
model: htc_himawhl
CID-11111111
SECURITY UNLOCKED means S-OFF for SECURITY-OFF, otherwise S-ON. With S-ON you can upgrade firmwares but cannot use previous versions.
3) UPGRADE TO LATEST OFFICIAL ROM
In Android, go to Settings > About > Software information.
Android version is 7 and HTC Sense version is 8.0.
If Android is already 7, go to next chapter.
But before, search for IMEI and note this number somewhere safe (we never know).
Otherwise, we need to flash suitable stock Android 7 Nougat firmware, depending on your model.
In Settings > About > Software information, note down Software version (in case of future error).
For me it is 3.41.651.4 (651 is the SKU part, meaning Sprint US ROM).
See Sneakyghost's and Behold_this' SKU-, CID- and MID-List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10H7RftecZZKb5tT2zpShfYNFAfSe-imhhqtVfeMPVDA/edit?pli=1#gid=0
Now tap on More > tap 7 times on Build number. It unlocks Developer options.
Go back to Settings menu, you can see the new Developer options menu.
Tap on it, accept the warning.
Switch ON USB debugging option.
Connect phone, a message appears on phone : Allow USB debugging?
check Always allow and confirm by tapping on OK.
But before upgrading to Android 7 Nougat, you need the latest Android 6 official ROM available for your model.
- Himaul or Himaulatt: RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_3.35.617.16.exe
- Himaultmus, not sure you can get Android 7: http://downloadmirror.co/android/29Ri/RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_3.39.531.7.exe
- Himawhl: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=334967 or https://downloadmirror.co/1KrL/RUU_HIMA_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.41.651.21.exe
- Himawl: http://downloadmirror.co/android/29...0105_CNV_1.26_002_release_469809_signed_1.zip
RUU*.exe: launch installer, connect phone (from within Android started or in Download mode) and follow executable steps.
Wait during flash.
After reboot, you have access to HTC software updates.
Go to Settings > System updates > HTC software update > CHECK NOW
Install available updates.
Repeat after each update until update 4.x is fetched.
Here you go with Android 7.
### I succeeded with Sprint model, tell us here if you experience problems with other models.
### Flash a RUU in *.zip format
### Copy RUU zipfile to microSD card and insert in phone. Shutdown phone.
### Start in fastboot mode: hold Power + Volume- until it vibrates and release both buttons.
### Use Volume- to Reboot to Bootloader. Confirm with Power.
### Use Volume- to BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE. Confirm with Power.
### Once in recovery, use Volume- to: Apply update from SD card
### Use Volume to select RUU zipfile
### Wait during flash
4) UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Save IMEI, go to Settings > About > Phone identity > IMEI (15 digits).
In Settings > About > Software information > More.
Tap 7 times on Build number. It unlocks Developer options.
Go back to Settings menu, you can see the new Developer options menu.
Tap on it, accept the warning.
Check ON OEM unlocking and USB debugging options.
Go to Settings > Security > Screen lock > None
Go to Settings > Storage > Phone storage, scroll down and make sure Phone storage encryption is unchecked.
Now, open a Windows command on my "flash" folder (hold Shift + right click on folder -> Open a windows command here).
Or type cmd in Windows address bar and hit enter to launch a Command prompt in actual folder.
Enter command :
Code:
adb devices
, confirm by pressing Enter.
Command returns :
Code:

### If no device is found, uninstall and reinstall properly the drivers while antivirus is off. Or see fix at the end of this tuto.
### Or start fresh on another PC.
Now type :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Phone restarts in Fastboot mode. Wait till phone screen is blank in fastboot mode.
Use volume keys to switch to Download mode !!!
### With HTC One M9, fastboot commands have to be sent from Download mode (took me hours to figure it out, thanks @DigiGoon).
Type :
Code:
fastboot devices
Command returns :
Code:
HT53**** fastboot
### You may have to fix drivers again (see fix at the end of tuto)
Type :
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
, confirm by pressing Enter.
Command returns multiple lines.
Select with your mouse all the lines from
Code:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
(included)
to the line
Code:
<<<<< Identifier token end >>>>>
(included).
Now on keyboard copy (Ctrl + C combo), then open Notepad.
In Notepad, paste those lines (Ctrl + V combo).
Now manually remove all the (bootloader) strings from each line.
Your notepad should now look like this :
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

then Add more Zips -> open_gapps*.zip,
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end (can be long).
### To flash Magisk, go to Reboot > Recovery and flash Magisk after reboot.
We need to format Data once more to remove an encryption that took me time to figure out.
Go back to Wipe one more > Format Data > yes
When format complete, tap on Reboot system
Wait during long first boot.
Setup Android.
8) You can use Backupyourmobile to restore data,

I believe himaul can refer to a couple of U.S. variants, the AT&T and the T-Mobile. The AT&T variant appends 'att' to the end, and the T-Mobile may append 'tmus' (but I don't have a T-Mobile variant in front of me to verify this).
Hello, I just bought a One M9 model htc_himawhl, and I would like to install android 12 on it.
The device is S-OFF and the bootloader indicate "Software status: Official" and "LOCKED".
I have a few questions about your tutorial.
What advantages we get when we unlock the bootloader ? I installed TWRP 3.7 yesterday, I suppose I can install any custom rom no ?
You didn't gives htc_himawhl compatible Android 12 rom, which one can work with in the list you given ?
I had an HTC U Ultra before this phone (which is now dead...), the process was much more easier because it was an international model. :/
Thanks in advance for your answer !

Hi, normaly you need to unlock bootloader to boot a custom ROM.
To find a suitable ROM you should read the Sprint model section of XDA
@SofianeLasri , if you need VoLTE in your country/with your carrier, unfortunately, none of the recent custom ROMs for this phone have VoLTE/IMS registration working. It is being worked on, but there are no guarantees. You should read and follow the following thread for details/updates on this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ce-cold-project-17-1-official.4399865/page-12
What a shame, I buy a phone that I think is known on the custom rom scene, and I come across an abandoned operator model...

Custom models are pain for obsolescence
