I am planning on selling my rooted HTC Hero to someone who already has Sprint service, but wants my phone. Will Sprint be able to change the phone over to his number with it being rooted? Or will I need to put it back to stock first? Also, can someone give me a link on how to unroot the Sprint CDMA hero and how to restore the factory firmware. thank you
Sprint to should be able to transfer the phone number without issues with the phone already rooted. As far as restoreing the factory firmware, here.

If you Run RUU on the phone, this does not make it so anyone can take the phone to sprint and have it changed. You may have to go with them to the store while they reprovision or whatever the phone to someone else.
EDIT:
Didn't mean to qoute you gu1dry.
Flashing it to RUU, doesn't affect the transfer process. The buyer can still take it to Sprint & have them transfer the phone number without issues.

I was really just refering to the fact of the ESN not being clean. I bought a phone that had an unpaid bill on it...I couldn't activate the phone in my name until the bill was paid....darn ebay.
Thanks for the help. This site is awesome. I had absolutely no experience with the hero and rooted it and put Fresh rom on it the 2nd day of owning it.
thanks again
Oh, I am only selling it b/c AT&T has better service in my area and they just announced an Exclusive HTC android phone just for AT&T. Unfortunately no one no what it's going to look like yet.

I feel your pain I'm just waiting on either the dell mini, or Sony xperia to come out.
I know there's talk of carriers blocking the recent update but my question is not specifically about carriers blocking updates but more so if people using HD7's unlocked to other carriers will get the update at all.
For example I bought my HD7 on Kijiji and it's branded to T-Mobile. I unlocked it and now use it on Wind Mobile here in Toronto (Canada). Wind Mobile does not offer this phone nor do they offer any WP7 devices.
So am I screwed? Or will I still be eligible for any updates?
I've asked this of windows mobile support, they didnt know but are looking into it and will get back to me
Even if it would be like that, I wouldn't worry too much as I'm sure that Devs like Football or Ansar will deliver the latest roms with the update in a near future.
I guess I'm worried because both my g/f and I are using our HD7's unlocked on Wind Mobile and neither of us received our pre-NoDo update yet
Hey Pistol i'm in the exact same situation as you, but from what i'm aware of Tmobile hasnt yet released the update, this was till yesterday. Someone on the tmo forum posted that they had takled to a tmo rep and she wasn't aware of any updates and that none had been issued out as of yet.

I hear ya except I'm not on T-Mo.. so I can't see that being my issue. Sure my HD7 is T-Mo branded but they aren't my carrier. So even if they "blocked" it I can't see that affecting me.
With all phones that I have used that were unlocked to a different carrier, they were all able to update over a wifi connection. So i dont think this phone will be any different. As long as the phone is able to go on the internet ether on wifi or data it will be able to update. But like i said this is just coming from my experience with other smartphones

that's if an update was available, my nokia e71 is 3 firmwares behind an unbranded device as the carrier branded fw never got updated so the checker never found an update. Just saying... I'm hoping the same as the rest or I'm gonna be stressed
Well come to find out I just read that all you have to do is hook it up to your computer and start zune and it will update your software on your phone. The page said that I will not happen right away for everyone but soon you will be able 2. if you want to know more just go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913039 there is a link on there to the windows phone blog that explains whats in this update and how to update to it.

Actually the Zune software will only update the phone if the notification has been sent, if the carrier is blocking the update (win serial tied to IMEI / IMEI assigned to carrier / Carrier says these phones don't get update due to testing or we don't want it) notification is never sent.
That's how they can stop the update going to all the Samsungs that haven't been updated, as they know which Windows serials are on those handsets.
My unlocked HD7 only saw the update after hard-wire connection to zune. It certainly was a direct download from microsoft, though as the previous poster noted, there may be a 0/1 flag by IMEI or at least by model as identified/verified in the zune client.
Install was quick and easy at 1100GMT of the 22nd in Taiwan.
Suprisingly, the phone itself made no indication an update was available.
Cheers
i called HTC and they told me that i dont have to worry about the update pushed last week... i will for sure get the march update.. and i have to wait for the march update..
my zune is saying my phone is up to date... i am using a non telco set sold by HTC reseller in singapore..
i hear so many story about the update: some say its for the first batch of devices, some say its a test, windows blog site says few days to few weeks every one will get the update..
i have reset my phone once and reloaded zune twice... and if i will not get my march update i will send my hd7 to HTC and demand 100% refund.. and buy a telco set as unlocked devices are use less in a way..

Good luck with getting a manufacture to give you a refund off a phone they didn't sell you there buddy.
I went to a meeting with 2 Microsoft reps in my area and they told me that the big update is coming March 7th. However, it will still be based on your carrier when that update will be pushed out to you as they may want to do some testing on their end first. This may delay the update by a few weeks depending on the carrier.
Still no update for me..
unlock HTC HD7 (no tmob branding) bought locally here in the philippines..
=(
well, some of my friends got the update and some are also still waiting.
I listened to the WP7 podcast over the weekend, and the program manager for WP7 said definitely that the update will be available for everyone, and one of their primary goals was to have no forking or fragmentation in WP7.
We'll see. I'm in the same boat, and I have not seen the update yet either.
well i am in the same spot but i am not too interested in this update i am hoping that we will all get the march update in march and not june or july
And still nothing for me either. It's been 8 days since the update released and my g/f's HD7 nor mine has been notified of an update.
I'd hate to think I'm going to have to flash my ROM everytime I want to get the latest updates. I couldn't imagine having to set up my phone from scratch after all the apps I've installed and settings I've adjusted.

What software version is your handset running now out of interest?
Updated
I have a HTC HD7 from O2 unlocked and used with Vodafone, just had update
connect to Zune and check for update and there it was. UPDATE AVAILABLE.
Done
Hello friends. I have a simple question to ask. I am on At&t and up until recently was using the 717, however, being the android fanatic that i am it just wasnt good enough so i had to go out and buy a brand new N7000 off of ebay to see what all the fuss was about. Within the first day i knew immediately. Much smoother and more fluid then the 717. Who needs the LTE anyway right i mean wont be anywhere near me for awhile so just a wasted feature as far as im concerned. Anyways the baseband version is N7000UBKK1. Im on Att and the phone was new and unlocked when i purchased it. My question is how exactly will my phone be upgraded to ics under these set of circumstances? I know that samsung and att are working on an ics release for the 717 but what happens with my phone. Im not a noob by far as ive been doing this awhile and just cant seem to find any answers. Trying to stat away from the custom roms and leaks but will that be my only option. Any advice will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hello Jack, my N7000 had the same baseband and though I live in Venezuela, a few weeks back I only had to connect my note to Kies (this is the one I installed: Kies_2.3.2.12054_18_2) it downloaded and installed Stock ICS without any issues (even when my phone was rooted).
Hope it works for you.
Regards.
Kies ota update
Thanks for the advice however i have registered it on my computer through kies and was unsuccessful in finding an update. Upon setting my phone up for the first time on the network i got a system message saying that it was registering and then after it was done i noticed that at&t was branded onto the device. Had a little problem setting up the new apn but now everything working well. As you said though your device has already been updated through ota officially maybe this is somehow connected with the carrier your device is registered to. Being that mine wasnt technically designated to att because they had a different version of the model will mine now be left out in the cold because of this.

Thats odd. As your my device is unbranded/unlocked, but never got "branded" after network registration, I work here with Movistar (a Telefonica subsidiary). Never got an OTA update, no matter how many time I checked for it and on june 11th, I plugged the phone to my PC opened Kies and it showed an update avaiable.
I think yours should also be able to get the update. Regretfully I can't try for now since I'm running Paranoid v0.4
Hope you can solve this easily.
Well i will certainly look up that software version for my note. I may or may not be running the same kies version that was previously installed with my at&t note so that may be my problem. From what you were saying there is no network logo on your lockscreen or drop down menu? I did notice that when i first turned my phone on it was set up in spanish along with all the included included accessories so it does make sense that this would be the south american version. Accordingly what version of the official ics update did you get? Would there be any potential problems with me doing a manual flash of this rom that you can forsee. All that talk about the infected ics roms and kernels has got me really worried about flashing anything unofficial ics wise but i am an impatient man when it comes to waiting on these sluggish carriers to release updates. With att there is no telling if youll ever see an update. Please provide me with the official version of ics that is designated for my version and i will flash it. Thanks
I'm actually having the same problem. I bought mine from the UK Amazon (I'm from the UK as suggested) and mine seemed to have been imported from Spain because it came in a Spanish box. The supplier was Samsung and many people had reviewed the product. I just don't seem to be getting an update for my phone. I've waited and waited, and now I'm hearing people are being updated to Jellybean :/
Hi guys
I have a black Australian unlocked Telstra HTC One, but there is no sign of any OTA's from Telstra any time soon...
I am wanting to flash a WWE RUU on to it so that I am not carrier restricted
Am I able to flash an Asian WWE RUU over the Telstra one? Has anyone done this yet?
I'm not exactly experienced in the world of Android HTC and their various flashing methods, but would flashing via the RUU be any different to rooting your phone and flashing another custom or stock ROM?
I only say this because my Telstra HTC One was rooted after I bought it and it is now running a custom ROM flashed via CWM recovery and no longer has any Telstra branding.
Edit: I now understand where you are coming from now. I wouldn't have thought you could flash an original ROM based on another phone CID and I can't imagine being able to change your CID without first unlocking the bootloader which kind of defeats the original purpose as you'll end up with a "tampered" phone one way or another.
You can do it but you'll need to change your CID to match the RUU you're going to run.
I'm not sure if you're able to do this with only boatloader unlock any more.

Dang... Oh well, I'll see if I like the HTC1 first, then decide on grabbing a black one from Expansys or Kogan when they have the international unbranded quickly updated versions.. Waiting for updates from Telstra is like men having babies - not happening anytime soon
any luck?

hey man, any luck finding a HTC One Telstra RUU yet? I'm in the same boat. ive been waiting 6 months and still no RUU, been emailing and calling HTC loads and nobody is bothering to help or care. I dont need the RUU, but its good to have just in case.
The only decent piece of info ive managed to get was about HTC Australia authorized repair center.
So basically the company that do repairs in Aus are FoneBiz. They told me today when i called them, that even if you have rooted/unlocked bootloader etc, they will try their best to do an In-Warranty service, but if their system wont recognize the phone, then it'll be an Out of Warranty service.
The Good news is that since the HTC One is pretty much unrepairable, as far as being able to actually get into the handset, is that FoneBiz will just do a full handset replacement. In-Warranty its obviously free, but Out of Warranty is only around $280. So essentially you get a brand new HTC One for less than $300.
So anyone with a Telstra handset who has broken/bricked HTC One, at least you know you can get a brand new replacement for under $300, possibly even free!

Hello everyone, I have a question and I am no tech guy so please bear with me.
I have the unlocked HTC One 810e, I currently live in the U.S. and my carrier is AT&T, but I didn't buy the device from AT&T, I bought it back when I was in the middle east. Anyway, the current version of android I have is 4.3 and I have been patiently waiting for 4.4 to arrive, I've been reading lots of articles and blogs where people say that their unlocked HTC Ones have received 4.4. I've been checking for updates everyday and I haven't received anything yet. My question is, is there any way to trick my phone (I know that sounds a bit silly) into thinking we're somewhere besides the U.S.? Will that help me get the update?
Also, with the last two software updates (from 4.1), I have received a (I think 1 megabyte) update that said that there was some sort of bug and that was the reason I wasn't able to receive the update sooner, and after I updated the bug situation, I got the software updates immediately. Do you think this is the situation now?

AT&T 4.4 update is due out any day now ...if after it's released you still don't get updated I would consider taking other steps to get to 4.4

Your service is from AT&T the update will come from AT&T
The other path is unlocking the bootloader, flashing custom recovery and a custom Rom (4.4.2 sense 5.5 )
