[Q] Flashing Dev Edition image into carrier model - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just bought an HTC One in Germany (Vodadone) to use in Brazil and it is working just fine. But since it is a Vodafone version it takes longer to get Android updates releases. I was wondering if it is possible to flash the Developer Edition image, which is carrier free, on my phone and stay true to the original HTC build.
I know that there is the dev build available for download on htcdev.com. Has anyone tested it? Is there any tutorial here on how to do that?
Thanks in advance.

You can flash the US Dev Ed from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265820
in case you didn't already know, must be bootloader unlocked, rooted, and have custom recovery.

If you mean an RUU you will have to wait for s-off and supercid

You cant debrand it unless your s-off, which you wont be on that cid.
But you can unlock the bootloader, flash cwm and install a generic rom, which is pretty much the same. You`ll have no orange crap on it. And you`ll have the latest updates, roms are updated within a few days, sometimes before.
If you want to use another sim other than orange, call orange and get the unlock code.

Since S-Off Is carrier branding a thing of the past?

Ok first off I'm not all that familiar with htc's ways. I know that with previous bootloader unlocks we were able to flash custom roms and what not. Now with S-off we are able to change anything on the phone software wise. So that being said is carrier branding not so much an impact now?
For instance,
My phone is an att htc one which can receive AT&T ota updates. I know with the bootloader unlock I was able to flash international roms and have all the updated goodies of the international phone owners. But that being said I was still not able to receive international OTA updates since I was still branded AT&T.
Is the Cid what determines this?
If so, with s-off can we just change it to the international, developer edition, or any other carrier ID that we choose. Then flash an RUU from that carrier and then practically be the same as having the international or developer edition phone? Would we then be able to receive OTAs just like the dev or international editions get?
Yes, you can run any RUU on your phone. That does not guarantee everything will work, however.
Flashing firmware from another carrier won't get you OTAs from them. Getting OTAs is a combination of your CID and your carrier. I can tell you from my experience with the One X, lots of folks who got AT&T phones and took them overseas after sim unlocking never got any AT&T OTAs. So I doubt it would work on this phone either.
I don't know what will happen with the Google edition, when it comes out. I don't think anyone knows until it's released. It's possible you will get OTAs from Google if you can get that on your phone.

Thanks for your response.
Ok say for instance I buy an HTC One Dev edition strait from htc. I then put that phone on at&ts service. I would stiill get ota's strait from htc right?
So for my at&t branded htc one with s-off. Assuming that I have the cid from the dev edition and a stock dev edition ruu, what else would be there to stop me from getting ota's strait from htc like the dev edition does?
First off, to use dev ruu you need supercid.

So you couldnt install a dev ruu with the dev cid? What else would keep it from installing?
Ok let me put it like this. As far as I know there is no hardware differences between the htc one dev edition and the htc one at&t edition. That being said since we have s-off and are now able to change anything and everything on the phone software wise, can we not convert our at&t devices over to htc one dev editions and get OTAs directly from HTC and what not?
what is supercid? cid - 11111111?

yes that is supercid
As long as you have the dev edition cid and the dev edition ruu, theoretically you should get the OTA updates. Same with the Google Edition because these two are not carrier branded and the updates come directly from HTC and Google.

I thought Google will be the one releasing all the updates for the Nexus edition (Google experience) phones?
Consider Developer Edition still stuck on 4.12, I would hope Nexus edition updates are handled by Google not HTC

[Q] Can I update firmware?

I have the T-Mobile US edition of HTC One. Currently I have firmware 3.09.401.1 installed on my device. I know that is a WWE firmware and it compatible with the T-Mobile model. I was wondering would I be able to install the 3.22.1540.1 firmware, as it is for the Dev Edition. Would it be compatible with my device?
Thanks in advance for any information on this.
You need to be S-Off, it should work, but your firmware is already new enough. Do you have any specific problems?
I don't have any problems with the current one at all. Are there any improvements in the newer one?
I have the new version, had the 3.09.401.1. No changes except new hboot which has the developer edition warning on it when it boots up

Unlocking M9 phone from T-Mobile?

I have a question and could find an answer, well maybe a few... First if you have an unlocked version of the m9 directly brought from HTC all updates come from them not any carriers? With that being said if you by a T-Mobile version and get an unlock code from them will updates still come from them or HTC?
Unlocking phone has nothing do with updates. If you have T-Mobile version doesn't matter if it's Sim locked or unlocked, updates still come from T-Mobile. If you want updates from HTC you have to buy the unlocked model or Dev edition directly from HTC site.

You can always use the SunShine app and change your device to any model you want.. including the developer edition and then you will get updates straight from HTC.

hi can the T-Mobile Version be unlocked/Rooted?
hi i have an HTC M9 from T-mobile, i was checking the boot loader but it doesn't have the fast boot option, I've played around and i noticed that in download mode the fast boot command worked. so. i was wondering it can be unlocked or if T-mobile Locked it like the Xperia Z1s.
i watched a video on how to root it on "any variant" but theirs have been unlocked, i think they have Developers edition but now im wondering if its just mine that is locked.
yes can verify.. you can sim unlock device. travel a lot so need to be able to pop in a telcel chip. only snag is you need to flash a non-tmobile base rom first, Then it will ask for unlock sim code and your set. can leave it on non-tmobile base rom or like me reflash tmobile rom and your set. hope that helps

When you say a non tmobile base do you mean flash a custom rom onto the device? Thanks

Yes, sunshine will s-off your device. That will allow you to change cid and mid and turn your device into a dev edition or any other M9 released. Just note the radio/modem of your phone won't change. It won't gain support for other bands, but some may be disabled depending on the RUU you flash.

Only M7_UL and M7_U variants are RUU cross-compatible (still require to change CID/MID). So don't flash the dev edition RUU on your Verizon (wlv) variant. Anyway, better to stick with viperone imo, much more up-to-date then using a RUU.

You can install any Verizon stock or custom roms, it won't affect the radio bands the phone was designed to work with. Refer to htc website to know what bands the Verizon htc one supports and check if it's compatible with your carrier.
