New HTC One user. Just two requests.

Hello there
I ordered a 32GB HTC One which is coming in about an hour and since I had a HTC One X before, I know that installing ROMs and such isn't as easy as it is on my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I am pretty sure the CID of my HTC One is going to be HTC__J15 like the One X (since that's for the whole Middle East) and so I was wondering what the latest JellyBean is for my device? Is it 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? And speaking of which, I found this website posted on this forum:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/49-m7/
But unfortunately I don't understand that codes affiliated with regions and such and any help would be much appreciated.
The phone I ordered is slightly used, only for 4 days, and with local warranty but I would like to install (or re-install if there's no newer JellyBean) the software so I can set it up as a new phone, and I am guessing that's done using the RUU, correct? And if so, which one should I use? I would like to completely format the device and set it up from the start.
And one final thing, would someone be able to link me to an easy rooting guide? And do I get the unlock token using HTC's developer section of the website and use fastboot like I did with HTC One X?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your time.

First of all I would just do a factory reset, assuming it is a factory default rom, and then leave it for a week or two to get used to it before going down the route of unlocking etc. Read through the One forums to learn all you can before customising.
There is a good guide here for unlocking, rooting, etc manually http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
A useful All-in-One toolkit to guide you through the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Look through the One Android Development forum and you will find several custom Roms available which would be suitable for the International Version of the One http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2119
You will need a custom rom as once rooted and unlocked you won't be able to use an RUU nor will you be able to get HTC or carrier OTA updates.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am going to use the phone as it is for a while and see how things work out. I would really like to install the bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a capacitive button because I am not liking the idea of the two buttons - I am just too used to having three.

The One is as easy to root and ROM as any other device. You DO NOT need to be concerned with the CID or RUU if you download Mikes stock 4.2.2 ROM. Its dead stock (with the option to root) and works without needing to change the CID or flash an RUU

Yeah I have used Android Revolution HD on several devices before and it is the perfect ROM. I already unlocked the bootloader and am in the process of installing recovery as well as downloading and installing ARHD. I was able to locate the Bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a menu button and it seems like the installation is done from recovery, very simple, is that really the case or is there more to it?

Its easy to flash the kernel but beware as these kernels are not based on the newest or even second newest source so it will decrease performance slightly when you compare apples to apples

I needed one of the rom 802W Dual Sim China Unicom,

Hello.
I needed one of the rom 802W Dual Sim China Unicom, because due to the wrong root my phone it just went off the left boot and crashes logo.
Now I want to have one of the original rom to run the machine. I just do not know how to use htc rom how would you guide me always okay.
thank you very much

I'm afraid you have to send your 802W back to HTC for a restore because i've never seen any rom for it out yet in XDA.
恐怕你要送修了,这里暂时没见到有联通双卡版ROM.这个型号在国外没有销售的.

[Q] Flash ROM my phone, will it fix anything?

Hey there everyone
(TLDR version on bottom)
I've got a somewhat problem on my hand,
I did search this forum, but didn't find the real answers to my question
I was on holiday in china last month, and i got the brilliant idea of buying my HTC One there instead of in my country, The netherlands
Now it seems my Blinkfeed on HTC wont be able to show English or Dutch news or Facebook updates, Nor do I have the Play Store.
so i went to a HTC servicecenter, they told me there is nothing much they can do about it.. and one of the employers told me to visit this website and "Flash a ROM" (since i have no warranty anyway)... now.. I'm a Complete and utter noob with phone software, so I tried to find some info about it all, but i am still somewhat confused what will happen if i "unlock boot", "root" or "flash a rom"
i found this video on your forum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LENBpQW7mM4
and read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 this
and when i read this... and if i would do this... how do i know what kind of version of the HTC i should use, and will i have acces to the Blinkfeed with news from my country and Google Play store(that works)
i have a T-Mobile Simcard, but it's not a tmobile phone
so now my questions
1. Is it Safe to unlock bootloader, root and flash rom?
2. If i do it, Which Version should i take? (T-Mobile, M7, Sprint or ATT(although i think this is for america?)
3. Will it give me a properly working Blinkfeed with english / dutch news and facebook?
TLDR version:
Problems:
- Bought HTC One in china
- Blinkfeed news and Social media is only Chinese
- I have no Play Store
- I dont know what Unlocking bootloader, Root and ROM will fix
info:
The sellswoman from HTC china said it is an international phone, but i dont know for sure, since she also told me i could have english news on my blinkfeed etc.
questions:
so now my questions
1. Is it Safe to unlock bootloader, root and flash rom?
2. If i do it, Which Version should i take? (T-Mobile, M7, Sprint or ATT(although i think this is for america?)
3. Will it give me a properly working Blinkfeed with english / dutch news and facebook?

1. yes is safe to unlock bootloader via htc dev
2. still unclear about what to say, maybe you have dual sim version? what numer it is 802w ?
3. i have blinkfeed in english but is not usefull until you root phone
EDIT: >> If you don't did ota update >>> DON'T DO IT YET !!

OTA stands for Over The Air. Some ROMs require you to be at a certain "CID" (Carrier ID) and/or "MID" (Model ID). In order to change those IDs on your phone so you can install different ROMs that you might not normally be able to, you need what is called S-OFF. HBOOT 1.44 (which is what these devices shipped with) are able to be "S-OFF'ed" - if you install the OTA, the HBOOT will be upgraded to 1.54 and S-OFF is not able to be achieved on that version, effectively sticking you to whatever CID and MID you currently have.
If you'll be installing ROMs that are for your current model, you don't need to worry about S-OFF but I'd still shy away from the OTA just in case at some point later on you do want to delve into that world.
Seeing as how you aren't even sure what an OTA is I would take your time and read through the various guides on here extremely carefully. Some of these processes can leave you with a bricked phone if you don't know what you're doing. I'm not trying to be rude either, just offering a word of advise. You don't want to turn your expensive phone into an expensive paper weight.

very much appreciated for taking time for giving me this answer, and yeah i'm afraid i will end up with an expensive paper weight as well if i do this... so i will just leave it be for the moment, unfortunately I do not know anyone who is experienced with this
maybe i can ask for 1 more thing, is there anyway to get a working Google Play on my phone? if i download the APK and install it... when it starts up it closes down immediatly again (download manager is enabled)

[Q] HTC One to Google play edition

Hello everyone,
1.) I just ordered HTC One from O2 (in Germany), there is no O2 thread, so which version of HTC One am I going to get ?
2.) If you don't know, how can I check it ?
3.) Once I know that, how can I convert my HTC One to Google play in order to get official updates from Google without having to wait for O2 (I won't be using phone in Germany anyway) ?
I am fine with rooting my phone, I don't want custom roms though. (If there is no way for googlep lay edition updates, I probably would be open to revolution or CM).
If you readers have some time and information about it, I would really appreciate you sharing it.

1) most likely, an international edition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236
2) do a "fastboot getvar all" that will tell you all the info you need about the phone
3) plenty of guides around, find one that looks comfortable to you; you'll need to go S-Off for a full conversion
(If you're going to have to change MID, instead of using the ENG HBOOT tutorial, use this tool instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535365 much easier, quicker, and not dangerous)
also once you S-Off, I HIGHLY recommend DO NOT GO S-ON.

[Q] M8 sprint Questions and doubts please help.

HI,
I bought a m8 sprint harmon kardon phone in India which had official sense and relocked bootloader and all sim working. Then I read all guides and i unlocked my sprint m8 bootloader got twrp 2.7.xx for it and Installed Few Custom roms. I am on viper ROM 4.3 now. It is Misbehaving a lot. I wanted to go back to stock HTC. My question is after searching extensively i cant find proper guide or ROM to go back for my particular device.So many ROMS and RUU i am confused and scared i might brick it. Shud i flash from twrp or RUU? i Dont want to S OFF.
1) How to go back to stock harmon kardon with all sim working in india .I have S on and unlocked bootloader. shud i relock bootloader?
2)which stock Rom to flash for INDIA so all sims will work and i will not be stuck with only sprint sim working(biggest scare)
3)Will i get official OTA updates of htc in india if it is a sprint rom?
4)If not can i install an asian or indian Stock ROM? and will i loose Harmon kardon settings with that?
If i install this RUU Sprint_HTC_One_M8_HK_4.25.654.14_RUU from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
will it be OK?
If i run this RUU http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/ will i be gettin all sims working on it? or only USA sprint?

1. Easiest way to go back to stock is RUU. (you will need to re-lock your bootloader for it to work)
2. If you are sim unlocked as far as I know it's permanent.
3. Yes you should.
4. If they are Sprint compatible then yes. You will most likely loose your HK setting.
Both RUU's you link to are the same, you need to be sim unlocked to get all sims working.

thanks mate
