Originally, I posted this on the beginner's thread, but no one would help me
So I decided to make a new thread.
I have an unlocked HTC One 32GB purchased directly from HTC, and discovered that it could not use the wifi-calling function of t-mobile. So, I managed to unlock the bootloader and root, but don't know what to do now.
How can I just add the wifi calling option in the settings, and restore the apps I lost while unlocking the bootloader?
Also, can I get official updates from HTC, even though I'm rooted?
Please, make the answers user-friendly (I'm very new to this community and android- first android phone!)
Any help is very much appreciated.

You need a ROM that supports wifi calling. After you unlocked your bootloader, you need to either flash the stock T-Mobile ROM or a custom ROM that has wifi calling built in. Keep in the mind that a lot of the newer ROMs using 4.2 base do not support wifi calling yet so you need something with a 4.1.2 base. I'm using ARHD 9.4 and wifi calling works flawlessly. Hope this helps.

Hello all,
This question prompted by the latest AOKP build, which got me thinking about finally flashing a custom ROM. I've got the HTC One, China Unicom version (802w), with the dual SIM card. I'd like to keep using two SIMs, if possible, but there's not much information over in the support thread on whether or not dual SIMs are supported. If anyone knows (or is willing to ask for me - not enough posts to post there), I'd appreciate it :good:
Not sure if necessary, but here's more info: unlocked bootloader, but haven't flashed anything custom onto it (also, S-ON still, etc. etc.). Have installed GApps using the HTC app for doing that. Successfully grabbed the OTA update from a couple weeks ago, and am currently running Android 4.2.2. Let me know if any more information is needed.
Thanks in advance!
As the subject stated, I have AT&T version of the Galaxy S4 Active. The phone is unlocked (code provided by AT&T) and now I have a T-Mobile SIM card.
I want to do Wi-Fi calling, but couldn't find any information in this forum or when Googling it.
Can anyone provide step-by-step information on this? Preferably, I don't want to install a custom ROM - I use stock ROM (rooted) and it has been stable so far.

Check this thread for T-Mobile WiFi calling ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302313). You've got two things working against you though. First you have the AT&T version of the phone, so ours locked down and you can't fully flash ROMs to the phone. You can use SafeStrap to flash ROMs but because of the bootloader being locked your stock with the stock kernel. Second, nobody has got T-Mobile WiFi calling working on non T-Mobile ROMs. So basically you can't do it with the phone you've got.
Thanks for the detailed information. Looks like it's not doable given the locked boot loader. :sly:
Hello all.
I'm being a bit nooby here - have lots of experience flashing with Samsung's, but not much with HTC.
I have an unlocked M7, however it was originally locked to EE. (UK). As such, it's still suck on 4.3.
Is it possible to fully convert my phone to the unlocked version of the firmware so that I can receive OTAs? I've read about roms needing to match the version listed on hboot if you're S On (I am) but can't figure out whether it's necessary for functionality, or just for warranty purposes.
Sorry if this is covered already - we all know how great the search function works here...
Cheers for any advice!

If your on a unlocked bootloader why not install TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery and then flash ARHD 62. It's fully stock only better and it's the latest kitkat. When HTC release an update to Kitkat, custom roms like ARHD will be the first to release it. Whereas carriers could be months behind.

i mostly lurk and it has been some time since i posted anything here. i'm not a developer just a heavily dependent user. i have an AT&T HTC One M7 that is over a year old now and am not getting the 4.4.4 update (stuck on 4.3 with software #3.17.502.3) and thinking of doing something different with my device. i dont use the blink feed that comes on the phone (after market launcher called everything me) and other apps for calendar and calling. what is the advice of the group, should i flash a different rom or just stay with what i have? if y'all think i should change, what is a good rom to change to? any and all advice is appreciated.

Sorry, we can not recommend ROMs and the decision to flash or not is a personal one. If you want to update your phone you can find RUU's at AndroidRUU or HTC 1 Guru they are the Cellular ones. Pick the one with the same or higher version number. Or you could visit this thread and get a more updated version.
Just a FYI: to get updates you must have a stock rom, stock recovery, if s-on bootloader must be locked and what ever apps that are being updated must be present on your phone.
Hi all,
Im new to this website but not new to installing customs ROM's on phones. Its been a while but i did it years ago on my S3. Also, I know there are probably threads out there already for this so if this is just a redundant question please forward me to the right place b/c i haven't been able to find a clear answer on my own.
So here is my situation. I have a SM-G900A that I requested and unlock code from AT&T for and is now "unlocked" and I am running android 6.0.1. My girlfriend has a SM-G900V that is supposedly been unlocked by verizon and i moved over to my AT&T account and its working fine (with the exception of lack of LTE data). To my understanding it is not possible to flash a custom ROM on either of these if they are on anything post android 5.0 release. Is this true? I have not been able to find any custom ROM build that say they are made for these models and TWRP doesnt have a version specific to these either.
Has anyone successfully put customer ROM's/bootloaders on either of these 2 devices? I have really only used Cyanogenmod in the past and was very happy with it. But all i have seen is that people say that these 2 models are SOL if they have android v.6 on them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Check the link below, the first 4 posts or so have the information on downgrading and rooting. I don't know about the Verizon version, the AT&T version bootloader is completely locked down so we can not flash a custom recovery like twrp. Flashfire works like a charm though. The custom roms are limited and pretty much lollipop variants. There is currently no root or custom Rom for marshmallow.

flashfire gives the error "Please update SuperSU to v.2.40 or newer" which I already have. I tried the older ones 1st and it gives the same error. I am not sure what to think about it except I got it to work before with the exact same files from what I recall. is there another proceedure perhaps?
