I was wondering , is there any way to somehow "convert" my AT&T htc into the developer version and receive developer OTAs?
I'm currently running this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265820
It doesn't allow OTAs as it's de-odexed and device ID is different I believe.
What i want is the stock developer version with root and some way to carry over root over OTAs. I don't mind keeping stock recovery in order to get the OTAs.
Thanks

Yes you can... What you need is s-off and then supercid and the brightstar ruu. Once the ruu is flashed change your cid to BS_US001 and you technically have a us dev version phone capable of receiving otas. You should be able to root from there. I've seen reports of being able to keep root with ota rootkeeper from the market. Keep in mind if you put a custom recovery to root you'll need to replace it back with the stock recovery with a locked bootloader to accept otas.

Thanks so I just change the CID according to this guide here? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536
Also, which method of s-off do you recommend?
so it's s-off>change supercid> flash ruu> root and return stock recovery
is that right?
Thanks so much for the help btw. This is my first htc device, so new to the whole s-on/off thing and having so many partitions..

I used revone to s-off mainly because I could do it right from the phone but really just use whichever you think you'll be most comfortable with. Revone has options to lock and unlock your bootloader, I'm not sure if moonshine does or not so take that into consideration. When you flash the ruu it will replace your recovery with the stock one so you'll need to put a custom recovery back to flash root unless there is a method to root without it. So basically it's s-off>supercid>flash ruu>root>stock recovery>change cid again to BS_US001>lock bootloader. The locked bootloader BS-US001 cid and stock recovery are important for otas with the brightstar ruu.

Oh and that method for changing cid is fine... If you already have fastboot setup and are familiar with it then its just 1 command "fastboot oem writecid ********" the asterisks are of course representing the cid you intend to write to the device... Always 8 characters

Cool.. Thanks again. Just one question.. Why lock the bootloader again in the end? Don't the dev version come stock with unlocked bootloader? So they should receive OTA with an unlocked boot loader..

bootloader doesnt need to be locked. You can get OTA's unlocked, but like he said you must have stock recovery and correct CID. I've even heard you have to have all the stock apps..So with root dont delete them, just freeze any app you dont want. Shouldnt be bad anyway seeing its a dev ruu and doesnt have carrier bloat.

Cool thanks for clearing that up, I did a lot of searching and reading before I attempted this so I'm not sure where I picked that up. Also I had no problem taking an ota after I had disabled a few apps in settings>apps so that's an option if you desire.
How about the Model ID of the device, guys? Would that play any role in all of this?

In his case the at&t model id and us dev edition model id are the same so as long as he uses the brightstar ruu he will be fine... In your case you need to find out which dev edition gets shipped to your area find out the model id it uses to see if it's the same as yours and use the ruu for that dev edition phone. Or pick an ruu you want to use and change your model id to match the dev phone that ruu belongs to. I hope that makes sense.
Not working for me.
I've managed to get S-off and SuperCID, but trying to flash the Brightstar RUU from HTCDev fails. I'm currently using the Deodexed ROM cited at the start of the this thread, but I'd like to receive updates. I'm not worried about losing ROOT and the custom recovery since I prefer Sense over anything else. What am I doing wrong here? Is turning your ATT HTC ONE into a developer's edition with over the air updates no longer possible?

you have to lock the bootloader again to get an RUU to install
The mid you need is PN071200 and cid is BS_US001..they must match in order to get ota's...I just converted my tmobile to dev edition. And you can get ota with unlocked bootloader..how tdo the real dev edition get ota? They ship unlocked

What ruu are you guys using for this? The official brighstar ruu from HTCDEV will not install on my ATT HTC ONE, no matter what. "(bad) installation aborted." Tried locking my bootloader again, but doing so makes me lose the CWM recovery which makes me unable to install anything then. I have already changed the superCID to Developer edition. Tried with supercid ON. Installation will not work. Pretty much given up. Will just install updates manually as they come.

Either you trying to run the ruu while booted into android or you have a bad download. Try running it with supercid while in fastboot or bootloader.
I did s-off and changed cid, then was able to successfully flash the .16 dev ruu and receive the .17 ota. I followed the steps listed above. Don't know why you're having this problem..

Thanks Nullkill...couple of other questions then...first off Mike1986 the dev for Revolution HD Rom has a download link for the stock recovery labeled this: Download stock recovery 1.28.401.7
Is that the latest stock recovery and it should work on the ATT HTc One?
The other question is, if I wish to accept an ATT update..all I have to do is flash the stock recovery and relock the botloader for the update to come through then... correct?

Yes on all accounts. Make sure to never take a AT&T OTA though. It will lock the bootloader down like Fort Knox and you will never flash again Always wait for a dev to make a ROM that will be flashable via custom recovery. I've never seen it take them more than a couple hours to make a ROM for people once a OTA comes. Munchy cool is running a bounty to get root and custom recovery on the Droid DNA for the latest OTA which last I checked was over $500 HTC does not play around with security

Not 100% but I do not believe so. At any time AT&T or HTC can stop the unlocking at HTCDEV and then a OTA could relock your phone and you would be stuck.

Oh ok...I just thought it didn't matter because some people that has the One stated that they got the bin file and that they were all set and that they would just unlock the bootloader at a later date.
Well, I at least hope the ATT HTC One Ruu comes out soon then.

LoL it will happen with HTC! Won't be long until the ATT RUU is out just make sure to grab a copy and hang on to it I've had them disappear before and couldn't find them when I needed them.
As for the other part yes you could get the unlock token .bin file and then just wait and not unlock. Now you should be able to take an OTA and then still go to HBOOT and unlock the bootloader and flash recovery. The tricky part comes in with you have no idea what AT&T stance on this might could will be. So if there is a OTA it's always best to not be the first to blindly flash it! Now I could be wrong and if you save your unlock token (unlock.bin file) you may always be able to unlock the bootloader again. I have not personally seen a OTA lock a bootloader but then again I NEVER take them so...

I am on the latest Vodafone UK ROM 2.24.161.1 which is working fine but I have a niggling feeling that I should use HTCDev to S-OFF and install the stock ROM. Obviously that would mean I lose the warranty. Can anybody tell me what differences if any and if it's actually worth doing?
Just to clarify, using htdev will not enable you to s-off. That's a whole other process. It will allow you to unlock your bootloader and install custom roms though.
Best bet is to head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2119
And see if anything takes your fancy. If it does then by all means unlock your bootloader and get flashing!
Also, being on HBOOT 1.54 you won't be able to S-OFF anyway. Bar a few pre-loaded Vodafone apps there's not a lot of difference...

Hi, I just got my HTCOne and I want to root it because I want flash a custom rom (ViperOneRom)
But coming from Galaxy S3 this rooting thing with HTCOne makes me all confused... So I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with
1. Do I need to Unlock Bootloader to be able to flash custom roms (or to root)?
2. Can I unroot and get my warranty back? I have seen several videos and tutorials but they get the "relocked" thing in the bootloader and I don´t think the warrenty will be back if thats still there.
3. Is there any easy and safe way to root and unroot the keep my warranty?
4. What is s-off and s-on, what do I need it for and what can I do with it? Do I need to change anything there when I root/unroot? Can it be changed back and forth?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
1. Yes, you will need an unlocked bootloader. Also to flash a recovery.
2. You can only get back to 'locked' if you are able to use revone s-off. Otherwise you can relock the bootloader.
3. You can get back to stock, but before flashing a different Rom check if they have an ruu or cwm zip for your device. But you cannot make it seem you haven't unlocked the bootloader without revone.
4. S-Off doesn't root the device. And most of it's features are explained (kinda) above.
5. You can check out my toolkit in my signature below if you would like an easy way of doing all this. or try it manually yourself.
Hope this helps!!

2. Yes, if you're s-off
3. Yes, plenty of tutorials and toolkits available, just search.
4. s-off will allow you to flash firmware, radio, change your CID, change bootloader status etc.
I suggest you read up and familiarise yourself on everything before you root.

You can use s-off without rooting. Also you can check if you can use it by rebooting into fastboot mode. And looking at the hboot version.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
If you have hboot 1.44 you can s-off. This means you'll be able to turn off the tampered flag and lock the boot loader. You can also flash any RUU to return to stock. If you're on hboot 1.54 you have to use HTCDev to unlock the boot loader and will only be able to relock it. You will also have to use RUUs that match your CID, and they will need to be the same or newer than your current firmware.
Read up on s-off though, it may sound good, but it also greatly increases your ability to brick the phone.

I seek the advice of the masters here, or really anyone who can answer, lol. ATT converted to Dev Edition, 4.4, S-Off, stock recovery, bootloader relocked to run the 4.3 Brightstar RUU. Okay, tried to use stock recovery to change radio back to the 4.3, gives error remote not allowed. Tried to sideload it, not happening either. Figured I need unlocked bootloader, which makes no sense since I am S-Off. Tried to use my .bin file to unlock again, nope, says it doesn't match. That's fine, well, not really, but I can re-run to get another one, but, am I missing something here? Do I need to re-unlock bootloader to change the radio, and do I have to do it with CWM, or TWRP instead of stock?
Well, it sure does require unlocked bootloader so that you can flash a radio zip using a custom recovery. Once I did that it worked fine, still can't figure out why I had to get another unlock code though, that is just strange. Anyhow, mod can close thread, I figured it out.

FYI yes this is normal, you always need a new unlock code when your bootloader is locked again. Don't forget you can easily unlock bootloader without htcdev when you are s-off.

Hi every one,I know this is a stupid question, i just switched to Android from IOS, i bought a Htc one m7, my issue i'm unable to update it to sense 6

i have attached some pictures, i dont know much about these stuff yet. I using it in Pakistan, as i google it the code 651 means its a Sprint US i buy it from Pakistan and working fine except for the Update part. If any one can Help me that would be great. Any other way around i can update it to Kitkat 4.4.2 and sense 6?

Unfortunately you have to be on Sprint's Network to get the OTA update. Here is the RUU 5.03.651.3 which will give you Sense 6. Just follow the instructions in the OP on how to run the RUU, since you are S-OFF you do not need to lock your bootloader to run the RUU.
Here is the link to the Sprint HTC One forum. Keep an eye out in this forum for future updates, generally someone will post the OTA so it can be installed manually.

The encrypted one, you do not have to lock your bootloader.

It should not effect you SIM unlock. There is no guarantee that any process will not brick your phone, OTAs from the HTC and carriers have caused some issues. The best you can do is check MD5 checksums to see if the file has been corrupted during the download process and check the OP for any one who has reported an issue.

Do you have updated fastboot and adb? If not, Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tool
Extract the zip to your adb/fastboot folder
Boot phone into bootloader/FASTBBOOT USB before running ARUWizard.exe
Try with a different USB port and/or cables
If possible change PC's
