Hi. I want to buy a new HTC One 64GB developes edition from eBay and I need some help before making this move.
The phone is located in Hong Kong, (I'm not allowed yet to post any links) in the T-Dimension store. On eBay.com it says it ships from Hong Kong (HTC ONE LTE 801s 4G LTE 64GB Silver Smart Mobile Phone Unlock S3911) and also from theis official website of t-dimension.com.
I want to know if I will be able to make this phone S-OFF in order to change the CID from whatever it will be to the CID I need in order to install RUU firmware that has my romanian language pack (needs CID: HTC__032), because it'll be clear that will have the language package from HK. Will I have any problems with updates in the future? What are the major risks of doing these steps? Are the flash ROM's the same one for the 32GB and the 64GB?
Thank you.

Well, in China we have asia, europe and even T-mobile HD7. Most of the HTC phones went here by smuggling.

The problem is that the bootloader on the HD7 is kinda region locked, so you can flash Asia roms only on Asia Pacific phone. For example i had an HK phone in chinese and i flashed it with an Asia english rom.
Did your phone come with 8GB or 16GB memory? Asia phones are usually 16GB models.
Anyway i assume you speak chinese, so here you go, they explain how to find the region of your HD7: http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-5877352-1-1.html&usg=ALkJrhgEr_1fPVcjpeMzZdfovPKS-tDHVA

The HD7 doesn't have Chinese support yet.
we might have to wait until the end of the year.

Give this a shot, I used this to turn my AT&T HTC One into an International One. Please read carefully, as nobody else has done this yet not sure if I missed any steps.

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.
Pretty sure that's a Developer Edition handset (US-only)

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...

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.
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

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
