I was wondering , is there any way to somehow "convert" my AT&T htc into the developer version and receive developer OTAs?
I'm currently running this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265820
It doesn't allow OTAs as it's de-odexed and device ID is different I believe.
What i want is the stock developer version with root and some way to carry over root over OTAs. I don't mind keeping stock recovery in order to get the OTAs.
Thanks

Yes you can... What you need is s-off and then supercid and the brightstar ruu. Once the ruu is flashed change your cid to BS_US001 and you technically have a us dev version phone capable of receiving otas. You should be able to root from there. I've seen reports of being able to keep root with ota rootkeeper from the market. Keep in mind if you put a custom recovery to root you'll need to replace it back with the stock recovery with a locked bootloader to accept otas.

Thanks so I just change the CID according to this guide here? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536
Also, which method of s-off do you recommend?
so it's s-off>change supercid> flash ruu> root and return stock recovery
is that right?
Thanks so much for the help btw. This is my first htc device, so new to the whole s-on/off thing and having so many partitions..

I used revone to s-off mainly because I could do it right from the phone but really just use whichever you think you'll be most comfortable with. Revone has options to lock and unlock your bootloader, I'm not sure if moonshine does or not so take that into consideration. When you flash the ruu it will replace your recovery with the stock one so you'll need to put a custom recovery back to flash root unless there is a method to root without it. So basically it's s-off>supercid>flash ruu>root>stock recovery>change cid again to BS_US001>lock bootloader. The locked bootloader BS-US001 cid and stock recovery are important for otas with the brightstar ruu.

Oh and that method for changing cid is fine... If you already have fastboot setup and are familiar with it then its just 1 command "fastboot oem writecid ********" the asterisks are of course representing the cid you intend to write to the device... Always 8 characters

Cool.. Thanks again. Just one question.. Why lock the bootloader again in the end? Don't the dev version come stock with unlocked bootloader? So they should receive OTA with an unlocked boot loader..

bootloader doesnt need to be locked. You can get OTA's unlocked, but like he said you must have stock recovery and correct CID. I've even heard you have to have all the stock apps..So with root dont delete them, just freeze any app you dont want. Shouldnt be bad anyway seeing its a dev ruu and doesnt have carrier bloat.

Cool thanks for clearing that up, I did a lot of searching and reading before I attempted this so I'm not sure where I picked that up. Also I had no problem taking an ota after I had disabled a few apps in settings>apps so that's an option if you desire.
How about the Model ID of the device, guys? Would that play any role in all of this?

In his case the at&t model id and us dev edition model id are the same so as long as he uses the brightstar ruu he will be fine... In your case you need to find out which dev edition gets shipped to your area find out the model id it uses to see if it's the same as yours and use the ruu for that dev edition phone. Or pick an ruu you want to use and change your model id to match the dev phone that ruu belongs to. I hope that makes sense.
Not working for me.
I've managed to get S-off and SuperCID, but trying to flash the Brightstar RUU from HTCDev fails. I'm currently using the Deodexed ROM cited at the start of the this thread, but I'd like to receive updates. I'm not worried about losing ROOT and the custom recovery since I prefer Sense over anything else. What am I doing wrong here? Is turning your ATT HTC ONE into a developer's edition with over the air updates no longer possible?

you have to lock the bootloader again to get an RUU to install
The mid you need is PN071200 and cid is BS_US001..they must match in order to get ota's...I just converted my tmobile to dev edition. And you can get ota with unlocked bootloader..how tdo the real dev edition get ota? They ship unlocked

What ruu are you guys using for this? The official brighstar ruu from HTCDEV will not install on my ATT HTC ONE, no matter what. "(bad) installation aborted." Tried locking my bootloader again, but doing so makes me lose the CWM recovery which makes me unable to install anything then. I have already changed the superCID to Developer edition. Tried with supercid ON. Installation will not work. Pretty much given up. Will just install updates manually as they come.

Either you trying to run the ruu while booted into android or you have a bad download. Try running it with supercid while in fastboot or bootloader.
I did s-off and changed cid, then was able to successfully flash the .16 dev ruu and receive the .17 ota. I followed the steps listed above. Don't know why you're having this problem..

Hi,
Little problem in here. I've got tried to update IncS but something went wrong and I'm here.
Phone after boot goes straight into the bootloader like in pic.
Is there any solution to make it live?

A little problem here; you did not give us enough information on what exactly you were doing to your IncS.
It appears you may have been trying to run the S-Off downgrade procedure or you simply tried to run and flash an older RUU?
At this point my suggestion would be to go to HTCDEV.com and download the last and final ICS RUU for the IncS and use that to get your phone back to a working state.
tried to s-off and failed
Device is't not recognized after boot into bootloader by RUU
is there is needed any drivers or sth?

When you ran the Gingerbread RUU to achieve S-OFF, I assume there was an error code of some sort (ex. Error 131 or 170 or something). Can you please tell us which error code it was?
In the meantime, please download the latest and must recent ICS update from HTCDEV.com as tpbklake advised. I'm sure you need a phone to use.

Ok, if you tried to S-Off, then you missed the very first step. Since you have hoot version 2.02.0002, the first thing you must do it UNLOCK the boot loader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com.
Since your HBOOT screen shows a LOCKED status, that means you didn't even do that step. Otherwise your HBOOT status would show either UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.
If you follow the unlock procedure at HTCDEV.com you will end up with all of the correct drivers you need.
Unlock bootloader procedure is stuck on the selecting yes/no in the phone. I can't select yes... "no" option goes ok, "yes" - cant accept.

When you select yes/no did u use the hardware keys because it should work.
everythig is ok, I can switch between yes/no without aby problem but only no is able to be accepted. Then it's rebooting and stuck on bootloader again.

Make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 3.0 port.
I've tried with other PC, this time on WinXP, the same result. The only thing I can't do is selecting YES when phone asking about unlock bootloader.
I've no idea what to do..

When trying to update RUU, windows says "Device not recognized" after rebooting to bootloader. Any idea what's wrong?

And one more question. Is there any difference if I choose other region of IncS? I mean WWE or Asia or Hutchison? Maby there is the problem with accepting bootloader unlock?

No that wouldn't make a difference because the unlock token that your phone generated is what is used to generate the unlock.bin file, not the region you picked.
The device not recognized usually indicates a driver problem. Did up install the HTC drivers on the XP machine?
Finally, maybe the reason you cannot select YES is because the unlock.bin that was generated with a bad unlock token.
You might want to try and regenerate the unlock token and get a new unlock.bin.
In device manager phone detected as My HTC. New unlock code gives same result as old one.
Is it a brick?

Ok, do you have the HTC Sync app running on your PC? If so, uninstall the app, but leave the HTC drivers installed.
Also you never did say whether you we're using an official HTC USB cable or not.
You are not bricked. You can always download the official ICS RUU/ROM from HTCDEV.com and use that to get your phone operational again.
I know but how to do that with that phone?
I've got Desire HD also and there is no problem with detecting it in adb. IncS - not.
Tried also to create goldcard and update with PG32IMG.zip form latest RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_TWM_TW_4.10.921.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266252_signed and gets stuck like on the pic then reboot.

Hey guys. So now i've spent around 7 hours non-stop trying to root my HTC Salsa c510b but alas i am out of luck. At HTCdev it requires me to update my HBOOT and in turn update the ROM; in order to do this i must have a minimum 1.17.862.3 software number for my ROM however me being unable to update this rodent keeps my ROM's software number at 1.17.862.2 (so close ). If i was able to get my ROM to be 1.17.862.3 i would be able to use the RUU for Voda-Hutch AU (model # PH1112000) and successfully run the command fastboot oem get_identifier_token and obtain further information to root my device. But i am stuck. Does anyone know how i could possible fix this problem. Really frustrated.

Unlock the bootloader through HTC's website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader

What error exactly? You don't need to flash anything to get your token simply do "fastboot oem get_identifier_token". You can find all the instructions at htcdev.com/bootloader.

you'll need sunshine (which cost you 25$) to root + s-off + unlock bootloader. I consider it worth every penny
I also believe that Kingroot will provide you temp root (will lost root upon rebooting). I havent use it for quite sometime, dont know if they improved it yet but i doubt it

You can't unlock a Verizon phone using htcdev.com. Verizon asked HTC to block bootloader unlock because they don't want their customer to flash stuff on their phones. So like said above you'll need to temp root your phone so you can use sunshine to unlock your bootloader and s-off
I think I have to sell this one and buy something newer so I can play with it... Thanks!
I lost my HTC One M7 (ATT) variant late last year due to a charger issue frying the mainboard. I finally picked up a replacement last night which is the Verizon Model at a good price and it is in brand new condition.
The previous owner updated to the Lollipop 5.02 version which lives on it now. I have tried every method including the latest Sunshine to get it to root or even temp unroot.
SupeSu
Kingroot
Sunshine
HTCDev (before I knew Verizon locked it down so much)
It is the HTC6500LVW.
Is there any method that works at this point?

You need to use kingoroot to get temp root and then use sunshine to unlock and s-off. There is a thread in the verizon general section explaining in details.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Labs
I tried Kingoroot all weekend long and it did not work no matter what I tried.
I was at work today, tried again and it finally did it's thing. I then used Sunshine and got the rest of the job done, and then removed Kingo and put the SuperSu on there and am now happy to report all is good with it.
As for why it did not work in the first several attempts, it is beyond me.

I tried Kingoroot all weekend long and it did not work no matter what I tried.

Was it Kingroot? Or Kingoroot? Either way both don't work for me. Can you link me the guide you used.
