Hello,
I just bought HTC One (in retail, without operator logo). I just noticed following in my Kernel information :
3.4.10-gb91aaea
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
Does this mean that device is rooted? I noticed Vodafone logo when turning on device. Everything works fine, I just want to be sure that my device will be able to receive all updates from HTC and not be locked.
Thanks in advance for answer.
Nope it isn't. Try the Root Checker app in the Play Store to confirm
Check CID using CID getter from play store. So that you can know from will u get the updates.

Thanks for answers. Just one more question : Can I install stock HTC WWE ROM on my device? To remove this Vodafon stuff and have clean stock ROM?
Thanks again,
You'd have to unlock your bootloader and a custom recovery would needed too, then you're free to install any roms

To the OP you have to do what kurby suggested but remember that you cannot use any RUU except the Vodafone one. If however you are just wanting to install the actual ROM then you can do it after unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery.
Thanks guys. Can you please clarify this a little bit more as I'm new to this : You say that if I want to install original HTC WWE ROM instead of Vodafon version, I must unlock bootloader and then find RUU from Vodafone? Is that right? Do you maybe have a link for a RUU for Vodafone version of HTC One?
You can only install RUU to the same CID region. Looks like your phone is not a retail non branded phone. You will not able to get updates from HTC even with the stock rom installed because it will check if the CID is the same region. You can unlock bootload, install a custom recovery then can flash any custom rom but not RUU.

As mentioned before RUU is CID specific. So if your CID is not in the list of the RUU, the RUU won't flash your phone. For example if I have a Vodafone branded HTC One and I want to debrand it to get rid of the Vodafone stuff that's installed on my HTC One. I simply can't just use the stock 1.29.401.16 UK RUU because the CID list for the UK ROM(RUU) are as follows:
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__032
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__J15
cidnum: HTC__016
Now if my Vodafone branded HTC One has a CID for example VODA001, then when I try to run the 1.29.401.16 RUU it will fail. Because my CID is not in that list. But if you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery and then flash this stock ROM that mike1986. posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752 that will work.
But bear in mind just because you have used that stock ROM that mike1986. posted it doesn't mean you can install OTA updates from that region. Because the next update for example is 1.29.401.20 the OTA will look for the CID in the list I posted. And since your CID is techinically still VODA001 the OTA update will not install.
Now when we are able to change the CID on the HTC One then you can use any RUU you wish as long as you have a matching CID or a SuperCID.
Thanks very much guys! I understand now.

nandroid backup does not backup whats on your sdcard
s-on is security on and it checks files you put on your phone for signatures and denies anything not signed by HTC or older than your current software.
S-off allows you to flash unsigned RUU and to go backwords 4.3 to 4.2 for example. S-off also allows you to update your firmware with unsigned versions.
you can flash roms fine with s-on
you cannot flash RUU that does not match your phones current version or newer. If you ever need to return to stock you first step is to s-off.
it's always best to s-off if at all possible, because HTC can patch the Hboot anytime and s-off is no longer possible
Thank you so much , now I understand 100% about s-on and S-off...
About backup : sdcard is the folder in rom that have all application & downloads ??? Because we can not insert Normal SD card in HTC one ??? So it's mean I lost all my Apps & download when I backup ???

Their is no android-info.txt in the Guru reset .. it's a Rom
I'm talking about any custom rom we install like CM , pac Mac , android Revolution that all rom come with there own CID & MID but there should be some how you can change , maybe it's different file you need to install in which you match SAME CID & MID that rom you are installing ...
Let's suppose any RUU or rom or firmware what ever you call it which is not supporting my CID & MID then how can I test it on my phone ????
