[Q] Htc One M7 Developer Edition

Hi, I'm actually new to htc android devices specifically.
I saw recently that htc will release a developer edition of htc one m7 with unlocked bootloader and sim.
This version of this phone is only for USA or zip .. and in limited quantity.
What I want to ask is : If I buy the regular htc one m7 ( not the developer edition ), will i be able to s-off my device and unlock its bootloader or should i buy the developer edition to do that ?
I don't live in USA, that's why i'm asking.
Thanks everyone

Anyone can unlock the bootloader via the HTCdev web site on any HTC phone.
If someone finds an S Off exploit, which I believe should be possible, then the method will also work on non development edition of HTC One

The bootloader can be unlocked on the non developer edition. No-one can say for certain when we will have s-off though. We'll just have to wait for that to happen.
It's obviously up to you though whether you want to get the developer edition or not

On the hardware side, both phones are exactly the same except the dev edition have 64gb memory instead of 32gb
Dev edition firmware normally get ota updates faster than others M7 (except this time with Sense 6, Canadian carriers released the ota a few days before). The dev edition is also bootloader unlocked out of the box so no need to unlock the bootloader trough htc dev and loose your warranty.

[Q] HELP!!!!

Hello everyone,
I'm currently In USA (I've been here for almost a year now.) and I have unlocked my Sprint HTC ONE M7 (Legally) and now I am confused about a few things,
1) Will the multi-carrier roms work on my phone now? I dont like any of the sprint version roms available!
2) Will I be able to install MultiROM on it?
3) Can I use GSM on my phone now? ( I want to switch to AT&T!)
4) Will it work just like a International HTC ONE M7? (As I'll be moving back to my country soon! )
Any help is appreciated!
Thank You!

Unfortunately the answer to these questions is No Sprint HTC one are very different to the International HTC one.
International roms will not work on a Sprint phone as they have a different Partition structure. Also Sprint use CDMA network instead of GSM. So you must stick to Sprint compatible Recovery's Rom's and Ruu's Anything else will soft brick the phone.

[Q] Rooting the HTC ONE 8 HTC One® M8 Harman/Kardon

I have searched about the HTC One® M8 Harman/Kardon® edition, and need a link of what others are doing to root , roms, and not harm the features. Rooting is my main concern, unlocked, and s-off. I know backing up my firmware can take me back to kardon. But I have a love for roms, the challenge of tweaking, trying our great devs hard work,. I don't know if rooting knowledge here will damage my device (even though we are all sprint. The help from senior devs and members to link me in the right direction would be a godsend. Just bought my device new for 629., and a brick would kill me before the wife. any advice would be great full. The harmon kodon makes me worried because its barely talked about. Need a basic link to s off and unlock the loader, and root. Recovery....im stumped. Will appreciate any feedback... My htc max was a small project. This version of the m8 has my head depressed. All the best, rob.

Look at this site. I also have the hk version:

To s-off, you may have to use the sunshine method (cost 25 bucks I believe). The firewater s-off method worked for me but I hear it doesn't work for the newer phones.

The latest version of Sunshine will also unlock the bootloader so you don't even have to fool with HTC Dev. Also, as a FYI, there is no difference rooting the M8 HK edition versus the standard M8.

how to Update Marshmallow (rooted/carrier unlocked/super CID enabled) (RUU Failed)

I am stuck in Android 4.4.2
I purchased a Sprint HTC One m8. As I am in Bangladesh the device was Carrier Unlocked via Super CID method
so I didn't get any OTA for Marshmallow
I tried to install Marshmallow via HTC RUU (Rom update utility) ,but in vein it didn't succeeded.
at last I rooted,installed custom Recovery (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-m8_whl, as updated recovery from TWRP doesn't support my device) ,tried to flash CM 13, it failed
I tried to flash some other custom roms found in the htc one m8 thread, but they didn't get installed
I am with a heavy heart asking for a solution to update my device to marshmallow
if anyone kind enough with a super CID can plz backup their Marshmallow Rom with TWRP and upload it for me here, I will be able to taste marshmallow in my HTC One M8 Sprint
plz plz plz ...help me

You are quite a few updates back, try this...
1. Backup anything important to your PC.
2. Flash the latest firmware (boot.img and recovery removed)
3. Run the latest MM RUU.
4. Update TWRP.
5. Flash any Sprint compatible rom.

The RUU will return your device to the same state as it left the factory.
It is an .exe file that you run from your PC, download it and right click and run as admin, follow the instructions on the screen.
Use the latest TWRP it works for all M8 variants.

I have done it (Y)
