Database Develop

[Q] Can you convert a regular One into a dev One with Ota Support? (request)

Im looking for some developer to post a guide on turning a regular Htc One like the T Mobile or AT&T version into a Developer Edition One that will get Ota updates from Htc. All the internets await the dev that does this, or 5 bucks on paypal. Whatever you choose.

This has already been done, although not in one tutorial yet on XDA.
Basicly unlock bootloader via Revolution method S-OFF flash standard RUU (I suggest a 1.28 version so OTA can be checked) and OTA Then relock bootloader and go back S-ON voila standard HTC.
I did it myself with a dutch branded HTC from T-Mobile and made a tutorial in dutch.

can it be done with sprint one too?

If it can be unlocked and S-OFF via revolution I don't see why not. When a RUU is then installed it makes it a standard HTC edition

Won't work on Sprint. The Dev edition is GSM only.

Uhm it's not GSM only it can use LTE/4G just fine here

can it do voice over LTE?
Sprint still uses CDMA radios and the Dev edition RUU won't have one.
Also the Sprint phone has a different partition layout than the Dev edition.
The boot partition on GSM phones is the partition number Sprint uses for the radio if I remember correctly

For the sake of simplicity I'll add the Dev edition doesn't support CDMA. Better?

OK no need to treat me like a noob .Did some reading into CDMA and GSM and the sprint version is just different alltogether. The Netherlands/Europe doesn't work like that with different models dor a specific provider.
We have a couple of providers that use the same phone but for example a differnet frequency for GSM 2G 3G 4G etc. CDMA isn't at all available here. or as I understand anywhere outside the US.
So if Sprint uses CDMA I'm afraid it might not work when de Dev edition of the rom hasn't got CDMA support.

You could turn the sprint One into a gsm one it has both radios, just check your gsm needs as it is extremely lacking on how many frequencies it actually has.

its not about the fact that it has both radios. its just the plain simple fact that Sprint uses CDMA for almost all of its phone and data capabilties and the fact that since the HTC ONE/GE only has a GSM version. if you indeed flash an OTA from the GE version it wont have CDMA drivers and therefore you'll basically have a 600 dollar HTC Ipod touch.

Is my HTC One sprint or gsm?!

Hi all,
I'm rooting my device and I need to know if it is gsm or sprint.
I don't know here I can foud this info.
Can anyone help me, please?
Regards.

Is sprint or one of its mvno partners your carrier?

Do you have a Sim card?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Go into the bootloader and check the device model there. BTW the sprint model has a sim card too....

There are very few carriers that are CDMA, and carry the One.
First, is it AT&T? You can tell by the back. Probably not.
Is the device rooted? Check by installing a root app and seeing if it works. If it doesn't, then we know for (almost) sure that you are on a stock ROM. Is there any bloatware? Check all the hardware/software/provider info in settings.
If you can find no signs of any bloat or carrier marks, you have a GSM.
The only carrier that carries the One that I know of is Sprint.

Code:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
I'm trying to root my device and I need to know this info
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

you aren't providing enough information to us. I'm guessing language may be a barrier.
Unless you are using Sprint, you don't have a Sprint phone.
All other HTC One's sold all over the world are GSM

One last question: Which should I choose between Google Edition ROM and Cyanogenmod?

[WORKAROUND] Developer Edition on m7_ul

So, if I were to get an HTC One, it'd be an 801s (m7_ul). Provided that it doesn't ship with the 1.54 HBOOT, I'll be S-OFF'ing it. Since I want to receive OTA updates from the latest stock ROM, atm the Developer Edition, I'll be flashing that.
A few questions:
1) AFAIK the RUU and OTAs contain a radio. Will the radio included in the Developer Edition RUU/OTAs work completely (LTE and all) with the 801s/m7_ul/PN0714000?
2) If not, does the OTA check the radio?
HBOOT 1.54. Eww.
Suggestions on a custom ROM are welcome.

1) There is only one RUU for the bright star developer edition. The LTE should work.
2) I don't think they check the radio, but it may replace it. Just make sure it has its original recovery when completing the ota.

So, if I have the Brightstar radio installed, as the RUU does, LTE should still work, right?
(The OTA's don't like it when you're rooted, I believe.)
(The actual Developer Edition phone doesn't support Optus' LTE bands. Or any Australian bands, for that matter.)

Oh I see. I'm with Vodafone and my plan doesn't include 4G LTE, but HSPA+ works fine.
So I assume the Developer Edition RUU doesn't include the appropriate LTE radios for Australian use. I think if you use the fastboot command fastboot boot recovery.img you could flash an Australian LTE capable radio.
I hope it works for you! Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, that's what I was imagining. It'd work with 3G, except for one band. I'd just have to have access to a computer after an OTA update if I want to use LTE.
Thanks!
I'll update this thread when I eventually do this, which may be in 1 week to 1 month...

Awesome! I hope you won't get the one with a newer HBOOT, which I think isn't very likely because I think know not too may carriers have updated to 4.2.2 yet.
Are you buying yours outright?

I'll probably get mine from Kogan, which seems cheapest reliable retailer atm. Buying outright, so I can take advantage of Virgin's $10 off plans when you BYO, as well as the bonus 1GB data promo.
I sincerely hope I don't get a newer HBOOT. In the case I do, I'll probably go with a custom ROM. Probably ARHD.

I've had a look in the 3.22.1540.1 zip as well as the 1.29.1540.3 OTA, and haven't found any radios. I hope this is a good indicator.

Nope, Radio isn't checked.

My HTC One has arrived, but unfortunately, it has HBOOT 1.54.
It's a 2.xx.708 from Hong Kong which has MID PN0714000 and CID HTC_622
How sad.
Going the custom ROM path.
I'd like suggestions on what custom ROM any of you guys use. I'd prefer one without third-party apps like file managers, or Flash player.
I'm looking at TrickDroid or Maximus HD.

First take a look at this thread. Htc one variants explained there.
Difference between htc one at&t (801n) and 801e is the modem chip. 801n support gsm/hspa/lte and 801e doen't support lte (only gsm/hspa)
Yes you can flash a stock rom for 801e on your at&t 801n but you will probably lose lte support. You aslo need s-off to change MID and CID

801n is not only for at&t, its a model code, not a CID
801n models are sold in the usa, canada, europe, midle est and africa for many carriers; At&t, Rogers, T-Mobile, Vergin, Telus, Bell, Google Play Edition, Developer Edition. Its the most common model of htc one.

When he says it unlocked with code given by AT&T he means its SIM unlocked which will allow you to use it with all carriers, not only At&t. The best way to check if this is true, is to test it with another sim card before you buy.

The IMEI# doesn't belong to at&t and isn't carrier specific. IMEI is for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Its a unique # generated by the phone manufacturer. If the phone is reported stolen, or it have unpaid bills, chance is that its IMEI# is black listed and you won't be able to connect to any carrier. So be sure it have a CLEAN IMEI before buying.

If the device still running the at&t software version with at&t CID, then you'll receive ota update from at&t. If you convert your phone to international wwe, or developer edition software then you'll receive ota faster. Converting your phone need s-off, cid change, sometimes hboot downgrade and mid change.

If you're talking about doing SuperCID and flashing a GSM ROM, it won't work due to Sprint being a CDMA device. However you can GSM unlock your device and use Virgin Mobile, provided the frequencies match (2G will work for sure).

What does virgin mobile use as far as bandwidth?

My m7 os already unlocked and works for sure on t-mobile I have my SIM in as we speak but only works in 3g which my service was on Sprint so I honestly don't mind 3g speeds lol.
But it's to expensive for my liking and virgin mobile is cheaper any help guide etc?

AFAIK, there isn't any method to flash it. I asked how to flash it to Verizon and I got told it can't be done, so I think you're out of luck mate :/.
