Need help identifying my htc one version - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have bought Second hand HTC ONE and I am very confused from all those versions and s-off's (came from Samsung phones)
So first I need help identifying my htc one version (bands etc) as I suspect that I the seller cheated me.
I will try to give you all the information I have so please help me =]
CID:
BS_ US001
Info from htc site:
Model: HTC One
Sales to: USA
Release date: 2013/05/16
Software version:
1.29.1540.17
android 4.1.2
bootloader is locked.
phone is 32gb
can you please tell me what version (European, American etc and what bands it got cuz I am really clueless) I have and weather I can have ota's or not.
thank you very much.

Yea but aren't the Dev edition only being sold in 64GB?
EDIT:
How can I know the cid of the phone wasn't changed?

You can't, if someone changed it to the CID/MID of the Developer Edition to flash the RUU then that's what you have. You could change the CID/MID to the EU unbranded handset, flash the RUU and see how that goes?
But yes, the Dev Edition was 64GB only

So if the HTC site says that it "Sales to: USA" I should check the USA variants ? (this is the site that checks your serial and imei if I am not clear enough).

I'd be looking at the unlocked HTC One available from HTC online:

Sounds like the one you've got...

Really? The HTC folks said it was identical to the ATT hardware. You can flash any ROM you like, but the hardware and radio are for that model.

Well, the Android Revolution mod, during install asks you to pick a ROM version:
International WWE
US Developer Edition / AT&T
Their forum member said to choose international (although I did notice many default settings were not like the US). I imagine the Developer Edition mode would work as well.. might try it for fun.

[Q] htc one m7_u 4G??

Hi..
Any one tried 4g on htc one 801e after flashing a UL firmware??
I just wondering if both devices have the same hardware so technically that is possible!
I found the option for lte on my device after flahing the european UL ruu, but i coudn't test it as our country doesn't provide lte..
The main reason why i need to know is that i'm going to change the mid of my device as well the cid permenantly to the europian model, if the ruu is 100% compatible and get the OTAs.
Bought my device in libya and cid is HTC__038 MID PN0711000
The hardware isn't completely identical, the radio hardware is different in a lot of these devices
Someone has tried and it didn't work I believe
They bought a model off eBay and tried to use it in the states

First take a look at this thread. Htc one variants explained there.
Difference between htc one at&t (801n) and 801e is the modem chip. 801n support gsm/hspa/lte and 801e doen't support lte (only gsm/hspa)
Yes you can flash a stock rom for 801e on your at&t 801n but you will probably lose lte support. You aslo need s-off to change MID and CID

thank you for the reply . my main motive is getting updates ota .
And is 801n only for at&t ?! I mean what I am gonna buy is 801n at&t but unlocked with codes given by at&t , so i want to know still I will get the update when at&t will give as still the imei belonged to at&T ?!?! Or i will get the update normally like others and faster than at&t htc one's .

801n is not only for at&t, its a model code, not a CID
801n models are sold in the usa, canada, europe, midle est and africa for many carriers; At&t, Rogers, T-Mobile, Vergin, Telus, Bell, Google Play Edition, Developer Edition. Its the most common model of htc one.

When he says it unlocked with code given by AT&T he means its SIM unlocked which will allow you to use it with all carriers, not only At&t. The best way to check if this is true, is to test it with another sim card before you buy.

The IMEI# doesn't belong to at&t and isn't carrier specific. IMEI is for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Its a unique # generated by the phone manufacturer. If the phone is reported stolen, or it have unpaid bills, chance is that its IMEI# is black listed and you won't be able to connect to any carrier. So be sure it have a CLEAN IMEI before buying.

If the device still running the at&t software version with at&t CID, then you'll receive ota update from at&t. If you convert your phone to international wwe, or developer edition software then you'll receive ota faster. Converting your phone need s-off, cid change, sometimes hboot downgrade and mid change.

[Q] US One unlocked info

hi everyone! i have this doubt: if i buy an htc one "unlocked version" in us, will i be able to use it here in italy with my vodafone operator?
and the unlocked version is the same htc one that they sell here in europe? i mean, the at&t, verizon ecc versions have their own modding limits, the unlocked version can be modded as much as the european version?
thanks

stay away from Sprint and Verizon!! (CDMA phones, not GSM)
maybe this will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236

thanks a lot dude! so, basically, i have to check the model id of the european version and the model id of the us one. If they are the same, i can do the same modding, right?
then, with the "unlocked version", i can use my operator here in italy, can't i?
Edit: another question: does exist a 64gb unlocked version?

I think most US models will be PN0712000 whereas European ones will be PN071000 (the LTE models)... non LTE European models will be PN0711000
But what you should check is whether you'll be able to get LTE in Europe, using a US phone, because I don't know if the bands are compatible... maybe someone can give you a confirmation about that.
Thanks i will wait for some infos

[Q] Is the Verizon one unlocked?

Wow I am looking into getting a ONE M7, and I am so confused.
So many models.
Basically I am only going to be using it abroad, so I need an unlocked version.
Also, I like to install a clean ROM so I would prefer a variant which allows me to do this.
I found a good deal on a Verizon One M7, but not sure if it suits these needs.
plz help!
Thank you!

Absolutely not. Verizon HTC one are locked to Verizon. Even the bootloader can't be unlocked via htcdev.com.
look for a M7_UL unlocked

Thanks for that! The unlocked versions are expensive. Any other carrier's ONE I can maybe buy and turn into an unlocked version?

If you buy a carrier version you'll have to sim-unlock it using a paid code and if that doesn't work you'll have to s-off the phone to use the sieempi method to sim-unlock.
stay away from Sprint and Verizon variant, you want a gsm variant (M7_UL)

I am looking at ATT versions now (still decent prices). So... hardware wise it's the same as the Google Play Edition? Will I be able to buy an UNLOCKED ATT M7 (which I am looking at the moment) and turn it into a PLAY EDITION M7 (via different ROM)?
* if there's one thing I can't stand is carrier's bloat and so on...

Yes but you will probably need S-OFF
Thank you! S-OFF is something I buy? Or something I do? Or something that I need to ask the seller about?
Thx so much

The way you'll achieve S-OFF depends on what bootloader version you'll have so its basically impossible to tell at this point. On some early bootloader versions, you can s-off for free using exploits posted in this forum (revone, moonshine, rumrunner). Latest hboot version (1.57) will require Sunshine exploit which cost 25$ (but well invested imo)
So when you'll get your phone, try to sim-unlock it first using a code (you must be 100% stock rom to use a sim-unlock code)
Then, If you want S-OFF, do it before updating. Each time you do update the phone to a newer version, you decrease your chances of getting S-OFF.
You'll only need s-off if the sim-unlock code method doesnt work and if you want to do a full conversion of your phone to a GPE version for example.
Thanks so much!!!!!!

Youre welcome
Just want to clarify something here:

S-OFF will not sim-unlock your phone but you'll be able to sim-unlock using another method (sieempi) which require s-off unlike the sim-unlock code.
