Hi, I'm gettin me an HTC One from Rogers here in Canada, and I was wondering if the development that's done over in the Android Development Section is going to all be compatible with this version of the phone? I don't see a separate forum so I assume it will be, but I'm asking just to be safe
Thanks!

You will probably have to change the CCID or the ROMs will not install. That can't be done until S-Off is achieved. (I think it is called CCID - it is the country code inside the firmware, and means you can't flash a ROM not designed for your country). At least this is how the Amaze works, and I think other HTC devices.
So the ROM itself would need to be made for that country's device? Why isn't there a forum for the canadian HTC Ones then yet?

That is my understanding. Until someone achieves S-Off.
As to different Forums, XDA tends to just use different threads for the various services, not forums.
Changing CID is for bootloader unlocking via HTC's website. It's the US phones that need to be changed usually.
Roms don't care what your cid is.
There will be seperate forums if the phone has different hardware under the same name. I am pretty sure the One is the same hardware regardless of carrier and should only have one forum.

The hardware is the same, so you're saying that the same root methods and ROMs will work for now, until such a time that S-OFF might be achieved?

I don't yet have my One, but for the Amaze this is certainly not true. The ones from outside the US will not flash a Rom based on a US carrier unless the cid is fixed. That is what I'm basing my post upon. Maybe the One will be different, maybe not.

I can't find the thread I saw but there was one over in the general form that said its compatible so long as it does not change the radio. The only variance in these phones is the radio, which is unusual. Most of the time there is another difference that makes roms incompatible.

Then the T-Mobile (and Canada) ROMS would be the issue, since I believe only they have the 1700/1900 radios. They would be specific to that hardware.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong ROMs don't flash radios. So long as this remains true it should not be an issue? Also I herd people have ROMs working on the AT&T variant which is what Canada (or at leas the big 3 plus their sub-brands) get.
Edit: Here is what I found saying that we will be able to flash some of these roms, Earlier in the thread it was said that U and UL roms were interchangeable. I'll be trying it out tomorrow afternoon. I'm buying one outright from Bell here in calgary.

I just bought my HTC One from Rogers but I haven't proceeded with anything yet for the same reasons as above. Coming from a One XL (Rogers One X) I know that I was able to use AT&T roms as well as Rogers & Telus roms with my phone, and use any of the radios from all three of those providers without issue.
Seeing as there are currently three separate forums for the HTC One (M7, Sprint & AT&T), I'm not sure which ones are compatible with which carriers. I hope that some of this gets straightened out in the days to come. Of course if there's anything I can do from my end to help, just tell me what to do ^_^
EDIT: Just followed link in above post, and it seems to have cleared it up for me. I still think that the forums for compatible devices should be merged, like the way the One XL forum is.
so we need to stick to the ATT forums?
or, iirc, we can flash the international ROMs so long as the radio doesnt flash lest we lose LTE

I've been hesitant to try my hand at flashing ROMs because I'm in Australia using an AT&T variant N1, my carrier uses 850Mhz as the 3G frequency (Telstra) which is same as AT&T.
I've read up on the general flashing instructions for cyanogen and feel comfortable to proceed (I have basic linux knowledge as well), but only sticking point is I'm a bit unclear as to whether there is any difference for me, being the 850 variant.
My best guess is that its the same process, same files/build etc., just don't flash the radio? Is that correct? Can someone whose done it on AT&T variant confirm? THat would be really really good
I'm going to follow the instructions here, on a side note, is amon or clockwork the better option?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
There is absolutely no difference for you.
Radio frequencies aren't dependent on baseband (radio) build, they're a function of HW. You can flash everything, radios included.
Read the Wiki.
Yep, go right ahead and do whatever you want.
I've hacked mine to hell and back with no issues
ROMs, no, no difference. Basebands and radios are a bit of a different story, though...

They aren't in Nexus, and they are exactly the same thing generally. Baseband = radio = SW that runs on baseband CPU.
OK thanks all
do I NEED to flash the radio i.e. can I get away with not updating the radio component? Just super cautious as I don't want to be in the hunt for a replacement in case of bricking, with all the dual cores just round the corner as wlel

If your radio is 4.06 or above, you don't need to flash it. If not - you do.

It's called the Korean one because it first came about in a KT OTA. It's fine to use on any N1.
You don't have to worry at all about flashing radios. All the frequencies work with all radios. Note that you need at least 5.08 radio on cyanogen to be able to use the 720p video camera.

There has been no mention in the ONE forums before these started getting split off about being able to root without going through HTC Devunlock first. Do you think that is being worked on and will be released? Someone had pointed to a twitter post from someone about that in the EVO LTE forums but that was weeks ago and nothing ever got posted to XDA.
Trying to figure out if I should jump on this phone or not, want to know how quickly I can get root for things like Greenify/Titanium/Adblock/Wifi Tether. I can wait for full unlock S-Off and Roms, but those apps are essential to how I like to experience my phones.
Htcdev does not root your device. It somewhat unlocks it but keeps the security on. Most devices are rooted fairly quickly, so this should be no different.

Htc dev unlock, unlocks your bootloader (s-off). This allows the flashing of new kernels and recoveries.

Sorry about my misleading post. I stand corrected. Thank you.
I confirmed with HTCdev on twitter that the Sprint version of the One is getting unlock support, at least. We may or may not get full S-Off sooner or later, but the supported unlock method will be enough to satisfy me for now.

Sorry I was out of town for work but this is the point I was making.
I understand an unlocked bootloader /= root. That wasn't related to my question.
For example my Asus Transformer tablet has root methods that are available without the use of Asus' Bootloader unlock (similar concept to HTC's version). This gives me features/access to apps that I would like to use without loosing my warranty and without them tracking my phone that way. All of the root methods currently listed in the dev forums are currently requiring HTC Dev unlock to achieve the root access, which although is great for some is not what many of us want.
It is no different than for us coming from a Sprint Evo 4G LTE, many of us achieved root and eventually S-Off without requiring the use of HTC Dev unlock. That is what I am interested in, but my inquiry was about the fact there had been no threads regarding it being worked on or developed.
I was interested in this same thing and did some research and emailed HTC about it. HTC doesn't void warranty automatically just because you unlocked it according to their support, but it allows them the right to deny it. Basically, if they detect non-stock software on the phone, they are likely to void it. It sounded like it didn't matter if you used their unlock method or not.

Currently, NO, you CANNOT root without HTC dev unlock.
HTCDev unlock does not void your warranty. I'm not going to argue this, nor explain it. Google it.
ok
thanks a lot
Typically, a HTC device that has htcdev support doesn't get a root method without unlocking. It happens but not very many security devs are going to spend any amount of time trying to find a root exploit when one isn't needed to root the device. The time is better spent finding a s-off exploit.
The at&t guys will be plugging away at a root method and if they find a root exploit it will be compatible with ours. unless its a temp root exploit that changes cid to get them htcdev support, in that case it would be useless for us.

This is correct. If you read the info in the CID unlock thread it explains everything.
Super CID does allow you to use any RUU, but that doesn't help us as much because Sprint is CDMA, the rest of the varients are currently GSM. However, when the phone becomes available on other CDMA carriers like Boost or Verizon it will be more useful because those will work since they are CDMA as well.

To answer the original questions...
1. Not directly, you'd have to Port them.
2. You need to flash the Sprint TWRP, use either 2.5.0 or 2.6.1. The 2.6.0 version that is floating around is broken.
As far as good tons, I personally havent flashed any because stock, with a different launcher, has worked so well. I read through a lot of the AOSP based Rom threads and there seem to be some issues that need to get worked out before I would consider them strong contenders to the stock stability and features. However any stock roms should give good results, is recommend Viper Rom.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
Give the guy a break; the Super CID is confusing to us Sprint users. Even the guy who posted the Super CID didnt realize till later that it wouldnt do us much good. If it isn't clear to you already, DONT FLASH ANY ROM THAT ISNT SPECIFICALLY BUILT FOR THE SPRINT VARIANT. And dont bother with super CID, even if/when boost and other prepaid options become available, I will have a hard time believing that development will skyrocket because of it. I have been working on three different roms for our beloved sprint variant and have dismal failures for going on three weeks. Couldnt figure out why everybody loved stock so much here, but I think I know now.
Thank you guys, now everything is clear for me :silly:

Best place to be would be in the viper one thread. Afaik there are issues with Sprint, as i said though, that is the best place to ask.
So long as you are in a position to flash a rom, obtaining one with the ability to use the HTC logo as a menu key shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294
There are generally less roms available for Sprint phones due to the use of CDMA (Verizon & Sprint) 3G technology as opposed to GSM (AT&T & TMo). There are parts of CDMA that make it harder to make roms for the phones until they release all their sources, which carriers are very slow at doing.

Come on folks. Do your research.
A GPE One's hardware is identical to the AT&T carrier-locked/branded or Developer Edition or "International" (WWE) unlocked/unbranded phones.
Any of them can be turned into any of the others by (carefully) writing to the necessary partitions.
Once any of these phones is S-OFF you can easily run any of the ROMs intended for any of the others.
In fact, you can use "firmware" intended for one while running another, although I would advise you understand what "flashing firmware" really means before making any firm conclusions there.
Anyway, short answer to the OP, yes if you're S-OFF and do a little reading, you can flash a variety of Sense ROMs.

Unlock is not the same as S-OFF.
You can do a lot with just being unlocked, but at some point you probably want S-OFF.
I didn't buy my phone from Google, so I don't know if unlocking is as simple as using a fastboot command like on a Nexus.
If not, you will have to unlock like everyone else. You can go to htcdev.com and/or do it as part of the S-OFF process.
Just to review the obvious, unlocking your phone in this way will erase everything personal on it including your pictures, your music, everything.
Backup your stuff.
To go all the way S-OFF, you first need to find out your HBOOT version. Most GPE phones have 1.54 right now.
Then decide which S-OFF exploit might work for you.
Read the rumrunner and firewater threads very carefully before doing anything. Always read the OP several times and then peruse the last two or pages of activity in any thread before making any conclusions.
Good luck.

GPE Hboot unlocks just like a nexus with Fastboot OEM Unlock. A token from htc dev is not required.
Still going to need to use an exploit to gain S-OFF

Unlock is not the same as S-OFF.
You can do a lot with just being unlocked, but at some point you probably want S-OFF.
I didn't buy my phone from Google, so I don't know if unlocking is as simple as using a fastboot command like on a Nexus.
If not, you will have to unlock like everyone else. You can go to htcdev.com and/or do it as part of the S-OFF process.
Just to review the obvious, unlocking your phone in this way will erase everything personal on it including your pictures, your music, everything.
Backup your stuff.
To go all the way S-OFF, you first need to find out your HBOOT version. Most GPE phones have 1.54 right now.
Then decide which S-OFF exploit might work for you.
Read the rumrunner and firewater threads very carefully before doing anything. Always read the OP several times and then peruse the last two or pages of activity in any thread before making any conclusions.
Good luck.
