Hi All,
Apologies in advice if the question I am asking is going to come across as a silly one.
I am about to purchase a new HTC One 4G LTE phone.
It will have the 4.2.1 OS with Sense 5.
I was holding out for the Google Edition but apparently it will take months before it gets to my region.
I am very new to the whole Android ROM flashing and BootLoader unlocking process - so am yet to understand how it all works, and hence here is my question
What is the probability that in the near future that I get to replace the current ROM with that of the ROM on the new Google Edition HTC Ones being released this month in the US.
HTC has released something on htcDEV for the Google Edition - what exactly is it?
Will it only be a custom ROM that mimics / or tries to do a close port of the Google Edition HTC One ROM - or will it be exactly the same?
Keen to understand how it all works and if I should wait or just go ahead and purchase my new phone.
Cheers.

The probability is very high that you can replace your current Rom with the official Google one...you'll have choices to choose from...if you want you can go from what exactly Google has provided or you can go more custom but with Google's kernel source in there... Whatever you wish...they released the kernel source on HTC dev..this basically killed any bugs we had left in our custom roms ..we can implement that in there...
I'm the next few days you'll see more development coming through with this new release
Presumably you can, since it's all the same phone with same specs. Best of all, devs will probably be able to fill in the missing gaps in original roms using data from the GE phone.

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

So, this is the forum you want, go to original android dev in this forum, these roms are there but still waiting resources from google!!, if you are asking about sense roms, i think you will be able flash them once you achieve s-off and supercid

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.
Hey guys I'm planning on buying an HTC one and I had a few questions about the GE version.
1. Where is the development? I can't find any recoveries or anything about the GE version.
2. Will sense roms be able to flash or since the bootloader is different that will cause incompatibility?
3. Do you think the resale value worse than say the AT&T version?
1. I don't understand that question.
2. Yes you can flash Sense ROMs.
3. I do not foresee things.

There is no official dev yet.

there isn't anyone witha shipped phone yet, and I seriously doubt many people on XDA would buy one. There's no reason to, the phone is identical hardware wise to the AT&T phone, software will leak for it, software always leaks.
Someone with an S-off phone can install the leaked RUU when it surfaces and convert their phone to the Google edition.
Thanks for the answers guys. I went ahead and bought a sense version.
Hey all!
I'm a new poster to the forums, but I've been lurking since 2010 with my Xperia X10 (rooted) as my first phone, moving onto the Acer Liquid MT (rooted, was a pain to do so however) and then to the HTC One.
I recently rooted my One. The issue I have at this moment however, is that now that the OTA for 4.3 including Sense 5 is available, I cannot install it, due to the rooted and unlocked BL on the phone. I do know how to relock the BL using fastboot, but I cannot find the appropriate RUU for the Rogers 4.1 ROM.
There are a few things I'm going to be asking for here, just out of curiousity.
First, does anyone have the Rogers RUU for the HTC One? I went onto the dev site, and unfortunately, there is no RUU file found
However, I did find the CRCs for both Rogers versions.
Secondly, lets say I just flash an International ROM onto my Canadian device, will I still be able to use the carrier I am with (Rogers).
Thirdly, if anyone knows of a Google Play Edition ROM for the One that has functional Zoe features, that'd probably solve all of my current minute post-rooting woes.
Much thanks!

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.
hello, I've had my HTC velocity for over a year now, i bought it already unlocked, and ever since i had it it's been running android 4.0.3 which I've now become annoyed with. and it doesn't upgrade automatically probably because its unlocked (my conclusion). I've done some digging over the year and realized that to get the upgrade i would have to root it. Problem is i have not the slightest idea of how to go about rooting it. Please help!!!
The vivid was never officially updated past 4.0.3, thats why you're not getting updates. The ROMs you see in the development forum are unofficial builds of newer android versions. Check out Albinoman887's thread for Cyanogenmod 11. Its probably the most stable current ROM we have, and it's what i've been running for quite some time.
In order to install such a ROM on your device (if you desire) you don't have to be rooted... but you will need to unlock your bootloader to allow you to flash custom ROMs. HTC makes that pretty easy, and you can refer to their website for instructions (htcdev.com/bootloader). You'll have to create an account with HTC but that's no more difficult than registering an XDA account.
