Anyone going to get the HTC One Google edition on the 26th next week? I already have Tmobile and I could just get it and pay 20 bucks a month to pay for it. Im just wondering if anyone is going to pick up the Google Edition?
Will it really have priority updates? or is that what people only say to make themselves feel better? Couldnt we just flash the ROM and Kernal from the Google Edition when Google updates it to android 4.3... 5.0 etc.. to the GSM varients? Since they all have the same components.
Its better to get the T-Mobile version and just flash the Google ROM on it. I forgot where I read that you can flash an AOSP ROM on a sense based variant but not vice versa.

There would be no reason why the GE couldn't run sense. They are the same HW. I'd like to see the source of whoever made that claim.
You have two devices that have the same exact HW just running different SW. Why on earth would you be able to run AOSP on a Sense version and not run sense on the GE? It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Is it because the bootloader and partitions are different? if so with s-off that can certainly be changed.
GE will have the Nexus bootloader interface so it wont be a simple flash job to get Sense
@OP: better to get the T-Mobile version as it would be easy to switch between Stock and Sense

As long as you have a custom recovery and the boot, system and data partitions are the same blocks you should be able to flash Sense just fine even with the GE bootloader. Even if the partitions aren't the same you can modify the update script for the sense rom to map to the proper boot/data/system partitions. The only thing I see being a problem is the partitions being different blocks. It doesn't make sense that you'll be able to flash the GE rom on the non GE device and not the other way around.
We have everything we need to convert to Google edition and back again. The key is fastboot mode. We should be able to install an ruu or push the images manually. The only question is will the RUU exe file recognize a converted phone. I'm assuming all we need to do is make sure the Cid matches or we use supercid

GE phones wont have any CID so i doubt the RUU would work in converted phones, unless Google gives us a way to flash to Sense version phones without changing the bootloader

I've seen reports to the contrary regarding Cid on the Google edition.

well thats nothing official but if that is the case then it should be easy to switch back and forth
I've seen the CID in several locations and it's probably correct. I hope so anyway
I'm just ready for AOSP development to skyrocket.

You will have fastboot commands with the GE bootloader just like you do on every nexus device (and HTC devices). The bootloader doesn't have to do with the rom.
If you have a system image or even a rom.zip you can flash in fastboot and it will be fine.
the way to flash a sense rom with the GE edition bootloader would be to flash it in recovery like any other rom or fastboot flash system system.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img. The bootloader doesn't care if it's sense or if it's senseless just as long as you're flashing to the correct partitions you should be fine.
And it will have a CID. It will most likely be a different CID than what's out there now. It might have a different model ID as well.
But hey.. what do I know? I'm just a noob and don't know what I'm talking about
The Google edition CID already exists in the hboot code. Just, well, 'Google' for it using a hex editor. Proof enough for me.
So it seems this was planned all along. Interesting.
So will we (those with the original One) be able to just SuperCID, flash the Google RUU, change CID to Google edition CID and effectively have a Google edition phone?
Or instead of that, will the excellent devs here just port the GE Rom and we can flash it that way, without getting OTAs of course...

Yup, pretty much. You should be able to just change the CID to the GE CID and then flash the RUU without using super cid but you'll be able to flash the ruu with super cid as well. I'm not sure if you need to hex edit one of the partitions to change change the CID to the GE CID to get OTA's or not(I think ther has been debate about this). The model ID might have to change as well if they use a different model number for the GE (Which I'm assuming they would)

Hi, I just had a new HTC ONE, it's CID is ORANG202.
I want to get rid of all orange stuff and bloatware.
I wonder wheter or not i can flash a HTC_EUROPE ROm in it.
Of course due to different CIDs and the fact t'here s no possibilit of changing CID os SOFFing the device I know i can't use htc ruu.
Anyway, I did unlock bootloader and Installed CWM and rooted the device. Can I flash now a original HTC europ (not orange rom) via CWM. I know i won t get OTA update, but who cares, as soon as a new update will be available, i'll find the rom here.
nd how to flash with CWM given the fact that the device has no SDCARD ? I always did that from SDs in the past.
Thanks for any answers.
Wish a Good day to everyone.

Yeah you can. Download it onto your phone, go to CWM, install zip, install zip from sdcard (internal) and choose your download folder where it will be.

Thanks for answer. And this is coing to work despite of the fact my phone is orang202 and not the rom ? Which means I m looking forward to see the pure android rom without sense.
Without sense makes sense
And, by the way, still no way to change cid ?
I m sure changing cid would allow me to use ruu s from HTC an ever get OTA...

Well from what I read on other threads, it might be possible but they would need the dump from the Google Edition One that are being shipped now. They need bootloader, recovery, etc.

Soz Another Qustion
Soz just 2 more questions how do I change my phones CID and MID to the Google Edition? Following these instructions:
Installed Nammit1994's stock odexed GE ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2353033. This ROM is unaltered in any way, no root, no busybox, no nothing.
Then I rooted it with twrp's install root feature.
Next I installed the bootloader and recovery.
I also changed my CID to match the Google CID
My Phone is an AT&T model and shares the same MID as the google phone
Now my phone is in condition to accept an OTA. I think I can preserve root with ota rootkeeper, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks
Hey all,
After a couple of years away from HTC and my EVO 4G, I'm glad to be back as I just bought a HTC One. Looks like an AT&T UL variant still on HBOOT 1.44, S-ON, and 4.1.2. I know the dev devices are starting to get KitKat, and I know I want Sense 5.5 and KitKat versus AT&T bloat and AOSP senseless, so I think this means I should be thinking about converting to a Dev Ed. That said, I'd think the 4.4 update will be modified for use in other standard device ROMs pretty quickly. Is there any reason NOT to convert to a dev device based upon my inclinations above?
THANKS!!!

Imo go for dev edition or wwe, and your M7 will be bloatware free and receive ota directly from htc instead of at&t. Its a pretty easy process, but im sure you already know how to convert from what you said above. The only thing to consider imo is warranty void after unlocking bootloader
Thanks so much! I got my phone off eBay but it looks and seems to function just fine so I like my chances. No worries here about the warranty. Thanks again!

Unlock that boot loader, s-off son. (Probably revone if you're on hboot 1.44). Fastboot flash the Google edition 4.4 ruu. I promise you you will not be disappointed! Once flashed the. Fastboot flash twrp (latest) and make a backup of your stock GE 4.4.
From there you can flash any rom (sense, GE, aosp). Even from the HTC one, HTC one at&t, or other gsm HTC ones.
I don't worry about warranty. You can always lock boot loader, s-on and change cid back to stock then ruu and they never know.

I've had my htc one for a while, and it has been flashed quite a bit, sense roms, aosp roms, and a google edition conversion. I went to flash cm on her the other day and downloaded cm for the m7tmo, and it didn't flash until i modified the updater-script. So I was looking through all of the RUU files and almost all of them say m7ul. My first question is, is this designation part of the hboot? Secondly I bought mine from a T-mobile (U.S.) If I would have paid attention to the bootloader would it have originally said m7tmo? and if not what phones are the m7att, m7tmo etc etc roms referring to? If it was originally m7tmo, how do I get it back to that state?
Thanks in advance.

The hboot has nothing to do with if its tmo/att etc...
Now, regardless if its att/tmo it'll say m7_ul (ul being its LTE capable) otherwise im pretty sure international phones will just show an m7_l on the bootloader instead
Specifically, since i too have a tmob one, the cid should be t-mob010 (it'll say this in the bootloader, unless you had changed to supercid before).
So your phone is still "tmobile", I believe the 'm7tmo' naming by cm is just a way for the rom makers to label the rom for whatever phone its for.
Excellent Smithers. Thank you.

can someone plz clear few things up for me..i know this,if i have super cid and i do..i can upgrade my firmware with non harmon version or the h.k version..but when it comes to flashing roms from the att or the tmobile or international threads im bit confused...as long as i have cid set tpo super cid can i jus proceed flashing the rom like i normally would in the sprint section ??or do i need to change the cid to att cid number before flashing there roms?or do i jus leave thecid set to super cid?i have yet to try another carrier's rom cause im still uncertain on exactly how to do so..i dont understand why we need roms ported over to the sprint section if all we need to do is change cid to super cid and flash away..surely im missing something ...i have super cid now and the htc m8 sprint h.k phone sprint phone....can i just go to any carriers development threads and choosewhat ever rom i want?..man i hope so cause that opens the door to soo much..i relize this is a newbie question and if not posted in the correct secrtion on xda id prolly be banned for good..lol..but i am in correct section so plz be easy on me
Well you could flash other roms but unless their files have been set up for sprints network you won't be able to do much there are still other differences as well between each rom for each carrier

Well you'd also have to make sure the partitions are set up correctly as well as you could end up with boot loops or worse ie: android revolution 22.1 will boot directly into bootloader unless you use a correct sprint kernel that allows for it to boot. If anything try using bad boyz rom and apply their sim unlock method. (provided your using a sprint phone internationally)
