Hi guys,
I've recently bought myself a 2nd hand HTC One, I had to unlock it from EE(UK) to make it accept the use of my o2(UK) sim.
I then decided that I wanted to try rooting it to have a look at different ROMs, because I had never tried tinkering with my previous android phones. Having experimented with a couple, I have decided I would like to restore my phone to stock because I am missing the use of one app in particular, HTC TV, not to mention I don't like the way to get to comma's on the Google keyboard. However, in my enthusiasm for trying out rooting and custom ROMs I failed to make a backup of my stock ROM, I know, I can look back at that mistake and think "I deserve a slap", however that is why I am here, looking for different options.
My HTC One is currently running on Cyanogen Mod 10.1.2.
I have browsed a number of threads but I couldn't find myself a satisfactory answer to my particular issue.
I ran into my first problem when attempting to find the RUU for my device, I cannot find an RUU for version 2.24.61.2 (Orange), apparently it has not been released yet.
I then read some threads for any ways to revert to an earlier RUU, such as HTC Europe 1.28.401.7, and there were threads detailing how to do it, however they required that you get S-OFF on your HTC one, the most effective way of doing this is using Revone, however my Hboot is running on version 1.54 which seemingly makes it impossible to S-OFF with Revone.
I have tried finding a 3rd party IR Remote app for my HTC One, but most of the ones I have found on the app store are either rubbish in comparison to HTC TV, are designed specifically for Samsung devices, or, in the case of Smart IR Remote, no longer developed. I should also note that I downloaded the 1.3.1 version and pushed it to my HTC using adb push, but the app kept crashing and I un-installed it out of frustration.
If I have missed anything glaringly obvious to a more experienced developer, I apologise, but I have searched for a good day for solutions based on my current knowledge before writing this post.
If anyone could please point me to a good thread that could deal with at least a good number of my issues it would be much appreciated, or if anyone could give me any answers to my problems listed above, I would love you long time.
If you require any more details don't hesitate to let me know.
Cheers. :good:

why not flash a sense based rom like viperone or arhd
I was thinking of that, but I wasn't entirely sure that flashing to a sense based ROM was what what I needed. I thought Cyanogenmod was a sense-based ROM, however I'm going to now I assume I may have made an epic blunder and not read the description of Cyanogenmod properly.
I'll try a flash and then I'll come back and let you know if I have got HTC TV back onto my One.

Just a quick question, I take it that the arhd 4.3 release is unsuitable as the google edition comes without htc tv?
I must also ask, having stated in my OP, my current software build is 2.24.61.1, the ahrd 4.2.2 page says that it's build is 2.24.401.8, is that not an issue?
Not sure on the ge version of arhd have never ran it but there is a 4.3 sense version of arhd that will work most sense based roms have HTC tv app and your software build won't make a difference

Best place to be would be in the viper one thread. Afaik there are issues with Sprint, as i said though, that is the best place to ask.
So long as you are in a position to flash a rom, obtaining one with the ability to use the HTC logo as a menu key shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294
There are generally less roms available for Sprint phones due to the use of CDMA (Verizon & Sprint) 3G technology as opposed to GSM (AT&T & TMo). There are parts of CDMA that make it harder to make roms for the phones until they release all their sources, which carriers are very slow at doing.

Hello,
This week i'm getting a brand new stock HTC One.
I want to convert it to a Google Play Edition.
I want to use an official ROM from HTC. I want to install the latest Version. (4.4)
I don't need root and I want to receive OTA-Updates.
There are so many tutorials and threads.
For example: h**p://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/convert-any-htc-one-into-stock-google-play-edition-with-bootloader-recovery-ota-updates-0148068/
I'm not sure, but I think most of those manuals I've read don't use an official version from HTC.
Could sombody tell me or post a link on how to proceed to achieve the following demands:
-convert to GPE
-official latest GPE ROM (4.4)
-get future OTA-Updates
-not rootet.
Thank you
S-OFF.
If you don't know what that is, read up on it and acquire it. Not until then can you do a full convert.

Yes, I've done things like this some time ago with a HTC Desire, but I'm not a freak.
The linked thread uses almost the same procedure like the easy tutorial/video here:
h**p://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/convert-any-htc-one-into-stock-google-play-edition-with-bootloader-recovery-ota-updates-0148068/
The difference ist getting S-OFF. One uses "moonshine" and the other "revone".
I think it doesn't matter which one is beeing used?
Is the linked ROM [Stock(non-rooted) 4.4-3.58.1700.5 RUU Zip] an untouched ROM from HTC?
Will OTA work when going through the procedure?
Thinking of choosing Cyanogenmod too...?
Thanks
S-OFF method depends on Hboot version. Look here:

Can I flash sense based roms on the Google play edition ? I know you can do gpe based roms on sense devices but I can't find any info on what happens the other way. Thanks.
Bump, probably trading for this tomorrow so I would really like an answer today. Does anyone know?

Not as far as i am aware, you will have to go through a few hoops unlocking bootloader s-off - firmware change to sense etc, i have bricked
my device in the process as i have a current post up here asking for help, gonna get M8 tomorrow, so we are in similar circumstances !

I know it needs s off and custom recovery and all that. I just mean once I have it ready to flash roms, is there any reason I can't flash a sense rom?

GPE version phone, if i was you, sell your working variant GPE on Gumtree, Ebay and go from there ! Good luck
Come on folks. Do your research.
A GPE One's hardware is identical to the AT&T carrier-locked/branded or Developer Edition or "International" (WWE) unlocked/unbranded phones.
Any of them can be turned into any of the others by (carefully) writing to the necessary partitions.
Once any of these phones is S-OFF you can easily run any of the ROMs intended for any of the others.
In fact, you can use "firmware" intended for one while running another, although I would advise you understand what "flashing firmware" really means before making any firm conclusions there.
Anyway, short answer to the OP, yes if you're S-OFF and do a little reading, you can flash a variety of Sense ROMs.

Unlock is not the same as S-OFF.
You can do a lot with just being unlocked, but at some point you probably want S-OFF.
I didn't buy my phone from Google, so I don't know if unlocking is as simple as using a fastboot command like on a Nexus.
If not, you will have to unlock like everyone else. You can go to htcdev.com and/or do it as part of the S-OFF process.
Just to review the obvious, unlocking your phone in this way will erase everything personal on it including your pictures, your music, everything.
Backup your stuff.
To go all the way S-OFF, you first need to find out your HBOOT version. Most GPE phones have 1.54 right now.
Then decide which S-OFF exploit might work for you.
Read the rumrunner and firewater threads very carefully before doing anything. Always read the OP several times and then peruse the last two or pages of activity in any thread before making any conclusions.
Good luck.

GPE Hboot unlocks just like a nexus with Fastboot OEM Unlock. A token from htc dev is not required.
Still going to need to use an exploit to gain S-OFF

I bought an HTC One (M7) second hand. The previous owner had rooted the device among other things.
It's currently working on Rogers network.
Can you help me find out what the original software version/carrier was on it?
I was thinking of using the latest Rogers RUU but I don't want to wreck anything.
Is there anything that may hinder me from using the RUU?
The phone shows, S-On, *Tampered*, *Unlocked*
Please give me any advice you can and I can clarify anything you need.
I have experience flashing roms on other phones this one seems more complicated.
My main goal is to have a stable Android 4.4+ on my device.
Thanks!

You're saying I should leave it alone and just flash a custom Rom vs a stock one?
I actually like that idea.
But, if I wanted to go stock in the future could I just use the RUU or would I need to do some other changes first?

Yeah just install a custom rom.
I need to go back to stock for warranty still trying to figure out what to do execty.
there are some guides on how to do that. but since you have a second hand I don't think you will have to ever go back to stock for warranty issues

help! im stuck in a bootloop and my phone is locked en Son what to do?
Hey guys,
So I recently got the HTC One Remix (the Verizon version of the HTC One Mini 2) and I would like to root it and install a custom ROM for it (preferably Cyanogenmod). The problem is verizon makes it hard to do any of these things and sadly switching carriers isn't really an option any time soon so I am trying to make do.
HTC-Dev reportedly won't work with verizon phones and many of the solutions for the HTC One Mini 2 don't work for the Remix even though they are essentially the same phone. Cyanogenmod has the HTC One Mini 2 listed as a supported device but I am not sure if that will work with the Remix because a carrier is not specified.
I have yet to see anyone who has had any luck, so is there anyone out there at all who is running a custom ROM on a rooted HTC One Remix? If so, what did you use to obtain root (sunshine maybe?) and what custom ROM are you running?
I'm majorly new to this sort of thing so hopefully the solutions are relatively easy so I don't end up bricking my phone.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

As far as I can see there aren't many hardware differencec between the two phones. The only problem is that at this point there is no other way of unlocking these phones then trough HTC dev. I don't think there is a lot of development going on with unlocking with other methods. How do you know HTC dev isn't supporting your device? Did you check if "All other supported models" in the list?

It a verizon exclusive and HTC Dev doesn't work on verizon phones. The carrier blocked it. There's also a disclaimer somewhere deep on the htc site.
Thanks though. I'm just frustrated because I like the phone but I also really want to root it. I've tried a couple of the easier methods like sunshine and towelroot and those don't work I'm only on 4.4.2 but with my low skill level in this area I'm not sure if there's much I can do. I know s-off and root aren't the same thing but that's supposed to make it easier to find a way to achieve root right?
Aha then i'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Only wait for s-off because but I don't think it is goanna happen. My previous device is a One X and they had a huge user/developer base but never achieved s-off. It seems HTC really did a good job at closing this down.

HTC One mini 2/remix stock recovery
Hi. I might be able help you here.
Here is a link to what I'm pretty sure is the stock recovery. Note this dumb forum won't let me post links, so reassemble this yourself..
h t t p s
w w w . androidfilehost . c o m
/?fid=95784891001615233
Can't remember the exact cmd line.. something like adb flash recovery <file>
Now for the rom, I'll have to see if the link I got it from is still valid when I get home. There's a guy 'jcase' I think on the IRC that uploaded his personal backup that worked for me.
To be clear, the rom is for the HTC One 'remix' - Verizon's branded HTC one mini 2. There is NO working cyanogenmod that I know of.
btw you will need the TWRP recovery to restore from the rom backup when you get it, so the stock recovery might only be useful if the flash still has the recovery image on it.
Certainly worth trying first.
Good luck,
