With HBOOT 1.13 you can go straight to the http://Revolutionary.io and gain true S-OFF on your phone. Read the documentation carefully and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.

Hi
Firstly welcome to xda
You're in a good position, as your hboot version is able to be s offed without downgrading
You can go straight to revolutionary.io and s off from there.
Here is the link to the video tutorial I used back in the day
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
Make sure you're using the correct files for our device because in the video they use a HTC sensation (same procedure)
S off is better than htcdev because it allows you more permissions to flash things like radios and kernels easily
Good luck, if you have questions them Google is your friend, if Google doesn't know then ask here

When have you received the incs OTA update from Bell? Me and all the people I know, who have got Bell INCS phones, have yet to receive this update from Bell.

The OP didn't received the OTA. He was asking how to root his current ROM.
If you really want the ICS ROM for your Bell IncS, HTC has released the ICS RUU on the HTCDEV.com/devcenter/downloads site. There you will find a NAM/Canadian version that you can use to upgrade.

Thanks tplblake, but I already knew this. It's just that, I have reread the op post, and see that I had misread his post. I was reading "has" while the op had written "hasnt". I gueas that the missing quote in "hasnt", got me confused.

No you cannot (but you already found that out, didn't you?).

Woah, I came here to find out what was going on with ICS and it looks like this was posted a month ago! :good:
I take it this wouldn't have bell's bloatware also?

It's the Canadian rom without the Bell bloatware. If you need part or all the Bell bloatware, it is available on the playstore.

I updated my Bell IncS to the RUU listed on the HTCdev website and it is great. Superuser also works perfectly to give you root access.

Am I in the correct forum?

Just bought the HTC One from Bell Canada and need to unlock the bootloader and flash TWP and Root. That easy and all, but for the life of me cannot figure out which HTC One I have and which forum to go to. Usually all Canadian devices are AT&T versions but I guess the Canadian version for the HTC One is just the international?

It doesn't matter. ALL GSM (except china) phones are compatible with each other.
This is the right forum.
Hopefully the moderators here on XDA will merge them all soon and we can get on with our lives

thanks its really confusing right now, so it does not matter if I flash AT&T TWRP or T Mobile or International? When I checked the software version mines is a bit different the what i see posted here

The TWRP and CWM found in the AT&T forum is a repost of the ones found here.

you can flash anything from any htc one forum except the sprint forum as they are cdma not gsm

Thanks all, rooted and TWP installed. All I need to figure out is how to get the extended power menu on stock.

There's a mod but I think it requires a deodexed rom. Not sure

yeah i think it does that why I haven't tried it yet. Want to stick with stock for now.

Need help identifying my htc one version

Hello, I have bought Second hand HTC ONE and I am very confused from all those versions and s-off's (came from Samsung phones)
So first I need help identifying my htc one version (bands etc) as I suspect that I the seller cheated me.
I will try to give you all the information I have so please help me =]
CID:
BS_ US001
Info from htc site:
Model: HTC One
Sales to: USA
Release date: 2013/05/16
Software version:
1.29.1540.17
android 4.1.2
bootloader is locked.
phone is 32gb
can you please tell me what version (European, American etc and what bands it got cuz I am really clueless) I have and weather I can have ota's or not.
thank you very much.

Pretty sure that's a Developer Edition handset (US-only)

Yea but aren't the Dev edition only being sold in 64GB?
EDIT:
How can I know the cid of the phone wasn't changed?

You can't, if someone changed it to the CID/MID of the Developer Edition to flash the RUU then that's what you have. You could change the CID/MID to the EU unbranded handset, flash the RUU and see how that goes?
But yes, the Dev Edition was 64GB only

So if the HTC site says that it "Sales to: USA" I should check the USA variants ? (this is the site that checks your serial and imei if I am not clear enough).

I'd be looking at the unlocked HTC One available from HTC online:

Sounds like the one you've got...

[Q] How do I update to 4.2.2 on unlocked model?

I couldn't find it anywhere on the web with a guide that actually works.
I searched "Update HTC One to 4.2.2" and "How to update HTC One to 4.2.2" and couldn't find a guide that worked...
I'm using the unlocked model that I ordered right from HTC and I did the "Check Updates" thing and it couldn't find any more updates. So I'm stuck on 4.2.2.
I'm not looking to unlock the bootloader or rooting right now, just in case i have to get it replaced.
Can anyone provide helpful insight into my problem?
Only reply with helpful tips... don't troll me.

*bump*!!! Plz help!!!

You either have to unlock the bootloader and flash a 4.2.2 rom, or wait it out until HTC decides to push the update to that model.

Really... i thought that unlocked model got the 4.2.2 update???
Wow not surprising that HTC is the WORST at OTA updates...

USA carriers are the worst for OTA updates, which is why I unlocked my bootloader right away. Then when the international 4.2.2 rom came out, I waited for a bit to see if there was any problems on the AT&T model. There wasn't and I flashed it with no problems. Full LTE and no bloat.

Did you read the OP??
I have the unlocked model, no branding, no bloat, no AT&T, no USA crap.

It's possible that the OTA update has not yet been pushed for your device.... it depends on the CID not just the fact that it is a sim free device.
As far as I'm aware no American Ones have yet received the 4.2.2 update

I did read the OP. The unlock model is still tied down to US carriers; it's not like its international variant.

The updates aren't controlled by AT&T though. AT&T has no control over my device. If I had it on AT&T then I would be waiting for AT&T, but since its a HTC direct, im waiting on HTC to push it to my phone. AT&T has nothing to do with this.

there is NO RUU for 4.2.2, you either have to install 4.2 and wait for update
or flash a 4.2.2 based ROM, like ARHD 12.2

[Q] I updated with a unlocked bootloader and S-Off! HELP!!
