How do International roms work? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am thinking of getting the HTC One for tmobile. Will I be able to flash a rom even if it is not specifically created for the tmobile version? Also, I guess the same question for root as well. Thanks a lot

i do know trickdroid works with most carriers

[Q] Non-Sprint Hero CDMA ROMs/Updates

Hello All,
I have a HTC HERO. It's NOT Sprint, and it's a CDMA.. (at least I think from my understanding) running the 2.1 update. It's been rooted, and I've been looking for a newer ROM that can run App2SD.
My question is,
Which ROMs are available that AREN'T for the Sprint model? Where can I find them? Got a Link?
P.S. I was able to flash the aospMod-v0.9.9.2-signed into it but it's for a sprint model and it didn't seem to have the functional-ability that it did. So I recovered back to the old one.

Unlocked or get the Tmobile version?

I have the unlocked version sitting on my desk right now.
The only difference seems to be that the radios are not the same?
But I've been reading that the radio might be flashable so it can accept Tmobile frequencies.
One question thoug, can ROMs from the unlocked version be used on the Tmobile version? Thanks

[Q] Is it possible to make your AT&T or Sprint HTC ONE (M7) an International version?

[Q] Is it possible to make your AT&T or Sprint HTC ONE (M7) an International version?
Hi guys,
I have a HTC ONE (M7) which is an unlocked AT&T version, as the update for the the International version is already out and I cant update mine since its the AT&T version. I want to know why does the update differ for all the versions? and also is there any way I could install the International update to the AT&T version?
Thanks.
I believe the difference between the two versions is based on the types of network signals they would be using. Europe doesn't have access to 4g and LTE, while the U.S. does. So the device is built differently to accommodate the networks. So sadly, no way to convert a AT&T One to an international one. Best bet it to simply root it, and flash a custom ROM.

You can unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery, then flash a custom ROM based on the international ones without any issue whatsoever. If you're looking to update without unlocking/rooting/flashing then yes, you're going to be SOL. The HTC One on Sprint and AT&T support all global frequencies, at least as far as non-LTE goes, so they can operate on any carriers network(GSM phones will not work on CDMA networks, however) as long as they are SIM unlocked. SIM unlocked is different from unlocking the bootloader and you'll either need your carrier to provide you the code or purchase a code from a third-party source. Eventually, there may be a hack to do this on your own but not as of this writing.
Thread here on the variants if you want a look.

HTC One Google Edition ROMs?

Hey guys, I just purchased a Google Edition HTC One and I'm waiting to receive it from shipping. My question is can I flash ROMs from the HTC One international version? Im not exactly sure how the Google Edition is identified so I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be sticking to this forum section for international unlocked devices or AT&T version for instance.
I know that despite it is a Google Edition, if I recall correctly, it's just possibly an AT&T or T-Mobile variant. So I just wanted to know, if I am going to be flashing ROMs onto this Google Edition HTC One, which version of the phone I should be in for forum sections before I cause irreversible damage. I really want to get Paranoid Android or Revolt ROM onto it ASAP.
Thanks for any insight

Is there a reason why I must stay specifically in original android development? The ROM I'm eyeing is in the android development section. I'm not looking for any sense ROMs. I love the stock experience with the ability to change DPI's on my apps. That's it. Sorry if I'm not understanding it all right away, so I will be in HTC One forum but cannot jump into android development section just yet? I don't get what you mean by resources from google.
quick side note question, is the google edition bootloader unlocked?
Thanks for the quick responses
edit: i just realized Revolt ROM 4+, the one I'm looking to load, is in android original development. didn't mean to confuse anyone.
Anyone have answer to my earlier questions?
I wonder why anyone would want to buy a Google search edition phone but all you simply have to do is flash an appropriate ROM on the normal HTC One.

To answer your question.. I'm sure you'll be able to flash any roms you would like...don't see a reason why not same hardware basically
You can flash roms from the international version make sure have the things that are required for the rom you like take a look around there's plenty already :laugh:
thanks.

[Q] T-Mobile to AT&T

I was using T-Mobile and I'm now on AT&T do I need to use an AT&T Rom? The custom Rom I'm using for T-Mobile does work but wondering if using an AT&T Rom would be best regarding the radios, etc.

there's no such thing on a nexus device as custom roms for different carriers. they are all exactly the same, and will work on any carrier.
So you're saying I can use any Rom on this phone? Since there are custom Nexus 6 roms for T-Mobile and AT&T here so that's my question?

Doesn't matter. I've run the T-Mobile on Sprint. Only radios will have a role in your reception.
Thank you! Do I need to flash the AT&T radio along with any version ROM I choose? I really appreciate the help I just don't want to mess anything up.

No, you only flash a radio once. Unless you want to use a different one. Find the one that works best for you and keep it.
