Bell Mobility HTC One ... any ROMs I can use? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am about two years removed from the whole custom ROM scene and am coming back to it with my recent purchase of an HTC One.
I've done some reading but can't really figure out if I can just flash any old ROM in the HTC One forum?
I'd like to also backup my stock firmware and ROM.
Any info and or links one of you might have handy?
/begging
Thanks!

I am using a bell HTC one and I have flashed the latest ARHD and trickdroid Roms with no problem I also flashed the latest radio baseband as detailed in the development section and noticed an improvement in cellular signal. I have seen lte speeds of 40 Mbits up and 30 down.

Thanks very much for the info!
So I could conceivably flash one of those ROMs without needing to flash the newer firmware?
If I do update the firmware, it needs to be done before the ROM?
Thanks again!

No problem.
As for the firmware...I didn't touch it.
I
1) unlocked bootloader
2) pushed cwm
3) flashed ARHD, tried it then flashed Trickdroid
4) flashed the updated radios (after making a backup)
I think the firmware is really for the international version.

Ok thanks!
A couple more dumb questions that I hope you can answer for me?
Can I backup the stock ROM/radio and flash back to that at some point (after flashing to a custom ROM/radio)? If so, any place you can point me to read up on the process?
Did you notice an improvement on charge times and battery life with any of the new custom ROMs?
Cheers.

Yes the are instructions in the development section on how to flash and backup the radio.

[HOW-TO]Flash latest Radio in Recovery
I am not the expert but I think you can perform a nandroid backup of stock Rom from the recovery.
As for charge time I think it didn't change ( still long ) but I do not have any scientific data to back that up. To tell you the truth, I didn't spend much time on stock so I don't know about stock battery life.

May I ask where are you located. I am in Mississauga and usually only get approx 18 to 20 Mbits using LTE. I am using the very latest Radio by the way 4A.19....

HTC Raider=Same software?

I have had the HTC Raider (the Korean name for the Vivid) for a while now. I have been waiting for the phone to pop up on here so I can try out some Roms.
Anyone have any idea if these roms would be compatible for the HTC Raider? I would HOPE so, but I imagine that it isn't that simple
I am already rooted by the way if that matters.
I am guessing here but I think the only difference will Probably be the radio's. If that is the case I would assume someone would be able to pull the radio from the Raider and make 2 different versions of the same rom just with different Radio's. Or have a way to flash the radio independent of the actual Rom.

any HTC rom i have worked on or flashed has never included a radio in the rom flash.
I'm assuming once we have an unlocked bootloader, root, recovery and such that the modding community will be pretty decent. I imagine custom roms would work between several carriers. As long as you don't flash the wrong radio I don't see why there'd be any issues. Similar to several versions/carriers of the Evo 3D

Hence why I said. "Or have a way to flash the radio independent of the actual Rom." It has been a few months since I have been on an HTC device and I forgot how easy HTC is to Flash Radio's.

I'm assuming you're not referring to official RUU's. I'm pretty certain they tend to include radios. When dev's release custom roms they do not include radios...they tend to like to keep the individual aspects separate for customization
edit: just to be clear when I say RUU i'm not referring to an ruu that someone might have used to extract a stock rom or whatever i mean a real ruu_____.exe
No I was meaning the Radio's you can Flash from the bootloader on HTC Device's. The PC10IMG.zip type. Not sure what they need to be for this device but I assume it is the same type of thing.

You should be able to use the roms with a kernel update like I used to with my HTC dream using roms from the T-mobile. I think with the S-On that part can't be written onto anyways through the custom recovery. The dual-core chip is the same one as used in Korea, but they underclocked it to 1.2Ghz. However I noticed the major difference between the vivid/Raider(CDN) are the lte bands Korea is on 850 while we are using a mixture with mostly 700.

That's the only real hardware difference, I think. Korea uses 850MHz LTE, while Bell uses 700/1700/2100 and Rogers/ATT uses AWS/700.

ME863 radio CM9

So I flashed my ME863 to a brazilian retail XT860 rom in order to install CM9 in safestrap. However I lost my connection, no gsm. I discovered too that when I choose a radio mode in the menus, it auto selects the next one instead of the one I chose (not sure how to explain, maybe a bug?). I tried to flash willis11's old data patch aswell, but then the phone would get stuck at the CM9 bootup screen. Any suggestions?
Is it possible the "old" Willis patch you used was made for gingerbread (not ics)?

No it wasn't! It was from an old thread I found. Will try to flash it tomorrow. I will report back!
Edit: got radio working, max of 2 radio bars though. I think it's just visual bug?

Your ME863, is it from Asia region like Hong Kong or Taiwan??
Is the signal greatly improved after flashing to Brazilian Rom?
I have an ME863 from Hong Kong and signal strength is very disappointing. Afraid to flash it to Brazilian Rom and bricking it.
Hope you can enlight me pls. Thanks
The two bars thing is a bug indeed.

[Q] HTC Salsa Stock ROM 1.12.401.10 ?

Hi everyone,
I have a HTC Salsa after some issues with logging into google market place I decided to reflash with the following stock Salsa ROM found on XDA:
RUU_Icon_G_HTC_Europe_1.12.401.1_R_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_193257_signed.exe
The reflash was successful, but my handset shows software version:
1.12.401.1_R
It used to be:
1.12.401.10
Kernel version is also different.
Does anyone have the stock RUU for software version 1.12.401.10?
...or can anyone suggest how to get the system.img file from an existing handset which does have version 1.12.401.10?
Knd Rgds,
yyo
Good luck. Never play with a systeem iimg. What is your area or country.
There will be no way of getting your exact system back. Its damn near impossible. Closest you will get is by flashing a stock rom. But by the sound of it you have a stock unit.
I'm interested in wwhy u would reinstall the ruu to fix a google play error though. But silly lol, nether the less u did it.
If u tell me your country I maybe able to point u in thee right direction more. But as said. U won't get your original stock back again. And your kernel is bound to be different its newer. Ever thought the ruu u tried is newer than what u had?

Hmm..., doesn't sound good.
Unless version 1.12.401.1_R is newer than version 1.12.401.10 the RUU found here at XDA is older than the version shipping with the handset. HTC is guilty of a lot of things but versioning software in reverse is not one I've some across yet!
My handset was purchased in Nov '12 in the UK and I used the Europe Stock RUU to flash, it was the only one with a version code similar to mine.
Any ideas?

yeah flash the O2 UK one found here >http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n7e11cv3zzop25a this is version 1.18.206.2
regardless of which network your with...the salsa in the uk is primarily O2
version code just means its the shipped version. the newer the code the better the version. you will notice alot of changes in this ruu including the kernel code but do not worry. it is normal.

Thanks for the assistance, I bought the handset sim-free (off network) so it was true HTC stock - no additional network provider rubbish.
I'm downloading now and wil give the O2 ROM a bash later on.
I also have an unmolested HTC Salsa running the stock rom 1.12.401.10, is there any way to extract it?
KRgds, yyo
No, u maybe able to when u unlock the bootloader and install reecovery, but swapping img files from roms is dangerous and not recommended.
Although its sim free, all salsas in the uk are predominantly O2. It will work, it'll just have so new options there. My suggestion is get it working and test everything. Wifi data Bluetooth etc.

Not a lot. U will get these updates in all stock based roms. U can turn of the update Notifier in settings.
It will probably allow u to download it but it won't install. It wwill just freeze out.

Thanks BigBearEvo all working now, tested the hardware and all looks ok, a number of 'extras' there but I can live with that.
I would note that although the version number is greater, the 02 RUU is dated June 2012 whereas my previous HTC RUU was dated Oct 2012.
Looks like my previous HTC RUU was newer, probably HTC's last update to the Europe RUU before they dropped support for the handset.
Cheers for your help, yyo
anytime lol

no. im with tmo and currently using trickdroid and bulletproof still getting 4g and 4g lte
4g LTE? I have 4g only
Is that a 4.1 based rom or is it a 4.2 base?
Does the software number matter? Because we are using 1.27.531.7, which is different than most using 1.29

Tmobile USA HTC Ones have different firmware? Can I update my firmware?
My firmware is 1.27. Is that mean I can't use those custom roms which are based on 1.29? Because if I flash for 1.29, I can't go back to 1.27, which means I can't get official update.
I got mine on Thursday, I called TMo in the morning and they where sold out so I left my number for their next shippment. Which came in 3 hours later, so I know it's as fresh as the come and mine is 1.27 also. This is the first I've heard of someone with a T-Mobile One from T-Mobile that came with 1.29.

How to back up and how to go back? I'm sorry for asking this stupid question but I really don't know how. I turn "back up" on on my phone, is it already back up? I don't see any back up bottom on htc sync manager. And how to go back? I can't find tmobile stock rom anywhere.

you have to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. you make the backup in the custom recovery. there will be an option in the recovery that says backup/restore. use that to make backups or restore your backup
This should answer some of your questions about backing up an Android device. We assume that since you are talking about adding a custom rom/kernel, you know you have to have a custom recovery to install them. Here is a video of a custom recovery you can use to not only install a rom/kernel, but also back up your current stock rom/kernel.

[Q] Sprint HTC One latest baseband, etc

Im fairly new to the Sprint HTC ONE, but not new to HTC or XDA, etc.
Im a habitual crackflasher, and enjoy bouncing around builds, love nightlies, etc.
In the past, whenever I have rooted a phone, I have always tried to make sure I was on the latest radio (unless the community warned against it)
but I am having a hard time determining What the latest radio update is and how to get it alone (or how to get it then back to my build/Rom of choice)
What is the latest radio/baseband version, and if i'm not on it, how would I obtain it..
Like I said I've moved around probably 5 or 6 HTC phones, back into the WinMo days, and generally this is a sticky... but maybe the phone is so new there isn't any radio but the stock?

I had already did the OTA update before I rooted my phone so I should already have the latest baseband/firmware correct?
