Step 3. Hit the Power button once and you should now be in FASTBOOT mode.

Step 7. Copy the downloaded CWM or TWRP recovery image (file ending in .img) to the fastboot folder you unzipped earlier.


Step 8. If using Mac or Linux, you can skip this step as no drivers are needed.  If using Windows, open Device Manager (If you don’t know how to open Device Manager, please Google it!) and check that you have “My HTC” or “Android ADB”.  If you don’t, you need to install HTC drivers, download HTC One M8 Drivers and run it then come back to this step.

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

sudo ./fastboot-linux oem get_identifier_token

Step 16. Check your e-mail inbox and you should have gotten an e-mail from HTC with an unlock code file.  Download this file and copy it to your fastboot folder.

Step 17. Next type in command prompt/terminal:
For Windows, type:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
For Mac, type:
./fastboot-mac flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
For Linux, type:
