Hello,
I'd like to ask a few questions regarding the HTC One on Bell Mobility.
If I hack the phone and put a Google Play Edition ROM will it work with Bell Mobility?
I'm worried that using one of the ROM's on the web that they might only be compatible with different carriers.
Are there any ROMS that will actually allow OTA updates whenever new versions come out?
I've been reading through the forums a lot and haven't read anything about being able to get Google OTA updates after move to Play Edition ROM?
Does anyone have a link to a nice guide on how to do the update?
I've seen a few nice ones for the Samsung Galaxy S4 but none that are simplified for NEWB's like me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Nick.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and also rather new to anything technical involving smartphones. I'm interested in rooting my HTC One Dev. edition to get rid of some of the bloatware and also to be able to use some special apps like using a DualShock 3 as a controller. How easy is the rooting process? I imagine it might be easier since my phone is unlocked because it's the dev edition? I figured it would be best to ask here as I don't want to mess my phone up and be left with a bricked phone.
I'm a bit confused. Verizon carries the HTC One, but I don't see it listed separately here in the forums, or on the CyanogenMod listing of supported devices anywhere. Is this because it's not got enough users/developers on that network or am I missing something?
I'm considering purchasing the phone but I am concerned that I won't be able to root/ROM the thing.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Thanks!

There is a separate forum. Where are you looking? Click the Home icon and then Newest Devices.
Edit: It appears HTC is now blocking unlocking via htcdev. That was fast.
Weird
I am not sure where I was looking before. I do see it though.
I see now that it was also just released on Thursday. I suppose I should wait a bit for the folks over at CM to get it ported over there, shouldn't I?
Thanks!

It's a bit academic since they don't have root yet. There is a CM port for those lucky folks who were able to unlock on launch day, but it's a WIP at the moment.
Dear friends. I believe there's a lot of people having STUCK IN GEARS problems with ther phone. Is it possible for a good soul to dump the stock rom so we can play with and try to fix our phones???
You'll need to take it back to an AT&T Corporate (not a retailer or a franchised one) store to reflash it. There are only two ROMs that have been leaked and they are European, and have a small list of models it will work on. You can try asking in your device specific forum too.
I'm not a developer or programmer, but I'd really like to use Google Wallet's Tap & Pay again. I know a lot of international users don't have this option... But I used to on my Sprint HTC One M7, but since using CM11, this has been broken. It turns out, the required drivers/files/lines of code are missing from AOSP for the brand of NFC chip HTC chose (NXP chip). This affects a lot of Samsung devices too.
With Android 4.4.3 released, others are indicating this still isn't resolved, but that there might be hope looking at some files from the HTC One Google Play Edition update. Anyone care to help us out and get this working again?
A thread that's been trying to get this working for more than 6 months can been found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573842. They could use some help. I'd test some things out, but lack the skills to really contribute.
Thanks to anyone willing to assist.
Okay, so to start off I've had an iphone for a couple years now and I'm way outta the loop on android things so please bare with me. I got my dad a moto x2 off ebay, its a verizon model. Looking on here I didn't see a verizon model posted in the phones section. Is there a difference other than software between models? Like could I flash a rom with an at&t radio and not have to worry about the dumb sim card error and have it work on lte? If so could someone just link me such a rom thats pre-rooted, debloated, and close to stock? I would really appreciate it. Also any tips or tricks on this phone would be awesome. (ps I'm not new to the custom rom scene just rusty)
Also did this thing get an official marshmallow update?
Thanks!
I have at&t, but I have the verizon moto x

Yeah, I was able to flash cm13 on it, which is made for the pure moto x 2014, and it works very well. I would highly recommend cm13, it is very close to stock and I run the google now launcher, since I dislike the app drawer in the default one. The only weird thing is moto display doesn't really work, but you can enable ambient display in display settings. If you have any other questions involving this phone I'd be happy to answer them!
