Hello! I flashed the stock google play edition 4.3 rom on my HTC One. My old rom was the stock htc sense 5.0 which I got with the phone. What I want to know is that will I receive updates automatically from my phone if 4.4 comes out on HTC One when it is released and that etc... Because I'm scared I'll need to do it via PC. Basically, if you still don't understand, on my HTC One when I first got it, I could perform a software update from the phone, can I do that with the stock Google play edition rom 4.3 if an update comes out from my phone or do I need to do it through my computer? Thanks in advance!

If you do not have stock recovery, you will not get OTA's. If your bootloader is unlocked, you won't get OTA's. If your CID and MID don't match that of the GPe device, you won't get OTA's while you're running a GPe build.
To get OTA's, your CID and MID must match with the version of software you're running (if you have an ATT CID, MID, and stock build, you have stock recovery and your bootloader is locked you will get ATT OTAs - OR you changed your CID and MID to that of the GPe device, and you're running a stock GPe build with stock recovery and locked bootloader and you will get GPe OTAs)

Pardon me for my lack of intellience and ignorance, but what the hell is that? I know OTA is over the air, but what is CID and MID and how do I know if they match? All I know is that I have a stock recovery but my bootloader is unlocked. Do I lock it and I just get OTAs or do I need to do something else? I'm super confused at this moment of time. Please feed me with more of your knowledge! How'd I find out the CID and MID?
EDIT: Also, how do I check my GPe to see if it the same as the CID or MID? Please, I don't want to go online and do it via a zip file etc.. I just want to update OTA!

He's not very techy and isn't into the rooting scene so he wants the stock Sense experience. The phone is 32GB AT&T rooted & s-off and CID to be recognized as the Dev Edition. If I just flash the newest stock 4.2.2 is that still fair to the new user?
Will he receive OTA updates with ANY currently available 4.2.2 or should I change the CID back to AT&T, flash the stock ODEX ROM & lock the boot loader and leave s-off? Or do I need to restore s-on for OTA?
Set the Cid to att, run an ruu, set back to s on and lock bootloader using revone so it shows locked not relocked Then he can get ota and it's fully stock

Hi,
what are the benifits of having s-off ? could someone tell me briefly ?
i can flash radio, rom, boot all without s-off so what is the key feature?
I dont need to change my cid cause i have the international One so do i need it ?
Can i flash hboot with s-off without relocking bootloader ??
thanks

Yes, no need to relock bootloader.
One of the advantage is that you can ruu/flash firmwares not specifically not for your device.
Btw you need super cid if you want to ruu firmwares from other carriers.

I can think of two benefit.
The first one is receiving updates. I give the real example of the htc One X. When htc started rolling out the 4.1 update, very few CIDs received the update at first. others couldn't use updated custom roms, because the new rom required the new firmware, and everyone had to wait for very long (Literally months) until the firmware for their cid was released via ota (Even those using an international one x)
With S-off, as soon as someone receives the update, you can flash their updated firmware/hboot, and then update to the latest version using a custom rom or official RUU.
The other benefit that I would imagine is to be able to use the ROMs for the Google Edition of the htc One, which I guess would require a specific firmware or hboot, that we can flash with the s-off.

no need for google edition ... no need for changing cid or flashing ruu´s
i always install renovate or mikes revolution hd and they always have the newest bases at first ...
so ... flashing hboot without relocking is benefit enough for me
thanks guys
With S-OFF you can also flash a custom splashscreens (the screen right before the bootanimation)

Hey, I recently bought my HTC One and have been reading up on how to root etc. I'm looking for advice on how best to proceed. Currently my HTC one is running 4.1.2 with HBOOT 1.44.
Things seemed to have changed a bit since I last had a HTC (wildfire), now theres CID's, MID's, supercid and no goldcards. Things also seem a bit complicated compared to my SE Arc S, where you had one customization number and sony's software pulled the respective software.
At the moment, I want to be able to use root only apps (eg Titanium Backup) and update to the stock version of 4.2
Reading around, I've seen that rooting by unlocking the bootloader will block the OTA update to 4.2. Also, upgrading to 4.2 will update the HBOOT meaning that I won't be able to s-off. Even though, I currently don't need this, I don't want to update to the new HBOOT just in case.
My question is what would be the best way to get a stock rooted version of 4.2 without losing the ability to s-off?
Just looking for a bit of guidence, Thanks!
mike
I rooted to get 4.2 update bunch of custom roms already have them and there great roms I'm on viperone now but also have had revolution,trickdroid,cleanrom,ext all are stable don't need s off to flash but give it time and there will be an s off for 4.2.2

My phone is on HBOOT 1.44, it can be s-off at the moment.
My question was how to get stock 4.2 with root access without upgrading to HBOOT 1.54?
S-off,
Unlock boot loader,
Change cid to HTC__001,
Lock boot loader,
Run RUU for European developers edition,
Update by OTA,
Unlock bootloader,
Flash custom recovery,
Root device.
You will be on stock 4.2.2, and rooted. You also won't have to worry about the hboot because once you have s off you don't lose it.

Thanks for the reply
My cid is already HTC__001 (I bought it and it came with WWE ). Does that mean I can skip steps 2,3,4 and 5 in your list?
What is European developers edition?
Yes I suppose you can. WWE is world wide English. Which is what I believe comes on the developers editions. So you have HTC__001 already and have not received the ota? Like I said, if you want s off, get it before you upgrade. But if you don't need it you can upgrade without it and still root.

What EU developer edition? I assume he has the UK version so his stock rom would be the "HTC_Europe" version. Need his CID and MID numbers to confirm. I agree that he should run the S-off process first thing if he wants it.
My CID is HTC__001, I don't know what the MID is. I don't think it's the developer edition, I bought it from a retailer not HTC directly and it's 32GB. My software version is .401 and the OTA to 4.2.2 is available to me, I haven't updated yet because I don't want to be stuck on HBOOT 1.54.
Then you can s-off, update, you will retain s-off on the new hboot, unlock boot loader, flash a custom recovery and root.

Thanks, if I unlock my bootloader with revone after s-off, is that exactly the same as doing it through htcdev?

Yes it is, with the added bonus of HTC not knowing you've done it!

I guess another advantage is that your device doesn't get wiped on unlocking.
Hello guys, I tried the new GPE 4.4 rom flashing the RUU, and I am pretty disappointed on this update...so I decided to return back to sense...
1) A 4.3 sense 5.5 RUU zip would be great, I searched for it but I can't find nothing, anyone?
2) OR...what if I flash a sense rom on top of the 3.58 GPE firmware? is this correct to do? have I got to flash the radio?
3) OR, again...if there is no RUU and I can't flash a sense rom with radio on KK fw, I think I have to flash 3.62 fw with radio and a rom...no?
I like clean things, because of this I ask for a RUU, is better wipe everything and clean flash...all in one and ready to go...thanks in advance!
Cheers

The firmware and radio is mainly for stability issues and some optimizations. if your device is s-OFF you can flash new roms doesn't matter if they are sense 5.5 or aosp or gpe editions. If you want to return back to 3.64 fw hboot 1.55 you can find that in the RUU mega thread in the HTC One Android sticky section. when flashing the RUU make sure you have super CID or flash the correct versions or else it will not let you force flash it.
If you convert to Developer Edition (3.22.1540.1), you will have 4.3 and Sense 5, but 4.4 with Sense 5.5 will be released as an OTA update in a few days. I'm sure OP knows better than to use superCID. It will prevent you from receiving OTA updates. Always use the proper CID for the firmware you're using (unless it's a custom ROM or something that you wouldn't want to do an OTA on). If you convert to the International version (3.62.401.1), you will have 4.3 with Sense 5.5, but be waiting until January for the Android 4.4 update. There's no real difference between the two. They're both world-wide variants, but the Developer Edition gets updated well before any others.
For Dev Edition, change CID to BS_US001
For International, change CID to HTC__001
For Dev Edition, MID must be PN712000
For International, MID must be PN710000
To flash from GPE, you may need to downgrade your Bootloader first. It was a nightmare for me getting off of GPE until I figured that part out. I assume you're already S-Off. Sneakyghost provided 1.44 bootloader can be downloaded here http://d-h.st/qfc
I'd like convert my HTC One M7 5.0.1 back to Sense. Is this possible using an RUU file. What are the steps involved?
Done it a few times. Depends on your CID, I changed mine to supercid so that I can use most regions.
Change hboot to 1.44 (not 100% sure if is a must or not but I do!)
Flash Sense ruu with fastboot. You might need an old Jellybean release first.
Flash custom recovery
flash root (supersu or whatever)
Flash custom rom to upgrade to Kitkat or stock rom
Flash latest firmware to update radio etc.
That's pretty much it.

I just wanted to say thank you. I didn't realize it but I thought I could flash any RUU for any carrier so long as I had the correct CID. Turns out you can't do that as the firmware and etc are different for each carrier. I bought a TELUS carrier HTC ONE but it was unlocked and I use on Rogers. I needed the Stock ROM RUU for Telus. Worked like a charm.
Thanks again
