So I got an old HTV One (M8) and I wanted to try installing a different OS. The problem is: I cant unlock the bootloader without an account at htcdev but their e-mail service seems unavailable. If I register with an e-mail adress the e-mail never arrives. If I try to register again it says: email allready taken. Can anyone help me out who has allready a htcdev account?

    How to factory reset the HTC One M8 using the hardware buttons

    If your HTC One isn’t booting, you can’t access the settings or you just really like buttons, you can factory reset your HTC using the following steps:

    * Press and hold the Volume Down button and then press and hold the Power button.
* Wait for the screen with three Android images to appear. Release the buttons.
* Using the Volume Down key to navigate, select Factory Reset. Use the Power button to confirm your selection.

    I have no idea if that helps at all, but it’s all I got.

        I was guessing that doing a factory reset might allow access to the developer options.

          Nah, in this case the problem they have is that they need a code specific to their phone and it can only be given to them by HTC using an online service they need to register to and the registration process isn’t working. It’s a website that’s broken.
