i have a t-mobile htc one that turned into the gpe by flashing the ruu. since some roms are device specific do i still treat it as a t-mobile device or the gsm one?

t-mobile is a GSM version, the only exceptions to GSM are the Sprint and Verizon phones (CDMA). so you're good with pretty much any rom. if you use WiFi calling then you have to check if it's supported or not.

ok thanks. i was just curious cause i might try CM and they have different downloads for att/tmobile/gpe. i did get varall in adb and it shows up as m7_ul so i guess i go with google edition roms now. or does it still not matter?

well if there is a specific version for your carrier you should use that one (it would include minor changes in build.prop such as carrier specific icons, and for T-Mob it could include WiFi calling), but even if you flash an international version it will still work just fine.

Im looking for some developer to post a guide on turning a regular Htc One like the T Mobile or AT&T version into a Developer Edition One that will get Ota updates from Htc. All the internets await the dev that does this, or 5 bucks on paypal. Whatever you choose.
This has already been done, although not in one tutorial yet on XDA.
Basicly unlock bootloader via Revolution method S-OFF flash standard RUU (I suggest a 1.28 version so OTA can be checked) and OTA Then relock bootloader and go back S-ON voila standard HTC.
I did it myself with a dutch branded HTC from T-Mobile and made a tutorial in dutch.

can it be done with sprint one too?
If it can be unlocked and S-OFF via revolution I don't see why not. When a RUU is then installed it makes it a standard HTC edition
Won't work on Sprint. The Dev edition is GSM only.

can it do voice over LTE?
Sprint still uses CDMA radios and the Dev edition RUU won't have one.
Also the Sprint phone has a different partition layout than the Dev edition.
The boot partition on GSM phones is the partition number Sprint uses for the radio if I remember correctly

For the sake of simplicity I'll add the Dev edition doesn't support CDMA. Better?
OK no need to treat me like a noob .Did some reading into CDMA and GSM and the sprint version is just different alltogether. The Netherlands/Europe doesn't work like that with different models dor a specific provider.
We have a couple of providers that use the same phone but for example a differnet frequency for GSM 2G 3G 4G etc. CDMA isn't at all available here. or as I understand anywhere outside the US.
So if Sprint uses CDMA I'm afraid it might not work when de Dev edition of the rom hasn't got CDMA support.
You could turn the sprint One into a gsm one it has both radios, just check your gsm needs as it is extremely lacking on how many frequencies it actually has.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
its not about the fact that it has both radios. its just the plain simple fact that Sprint uses CDMA for almost all of its phone and data capabilties and the fact that since the HTC ONE/GE only has a GSM version. if you indeed flash an OTA from the GE version it wont have CDMA drivers and therefore you'll basically have a 600 dollar HTC Ipod touch.
So, if I were to get an HTC One, it'd be an 801s (m7_ul). Provided that it doesn't ship with the 1.54 HBOOT, I'll be S-OFF'ing it. Since I want to receive OTA updates from the latest stock ROM, atm the Developer Edition, I'll be flashing that.
A few questions:
1) AFAIK the RUU and OTAs contain a radio. Will the radio included in the Developer Edition RUU/OTAs work completely (LTE and all) with the 801s/m7_ul/PN0714000?
2) If not, does the OTA check the radio?
HBOOT 1.54. Eww.
Suggestions on a custom ROM are welcome.

1) There is only one RUU for the bright star developer edition. The LTE should work.
2) I don't think they check the radio, but it may replace it. Just make sure it has its original recovery when completing the ota.

So, if I have the Brightstar radio installed, as the RUU does, LTE should still work, right?
(The OTA's don't like it when you're rooted, I believe.)
(The actual Developer Edition phone doesn't support Optus' LTE bands. Or any Australian bands, for that matter.)

Oh I see. I'm with Vodafone and my plan doesn't include 4G LTE, but HSPA+ works fine.
So I assume the Developer Edition RUU doesn't include the appropriate LTE radios for Australian use. I think if you use the fastboot command fastboot boot recovery.img you could flash an Australian LTE capable radio.
I hope it works for you! Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, that's what I was imagining. It'd work with 3G, except for one band. I'd just have to have access to a computer after an OTA update if I want to use LTE.
Thanks!

Awesome! I hope you won't get the one with a newer HBOOT, which I think isn't very likely because I think know not too may carriers have updated to 4.2.2 yet.
Are you buying yours outright?

I'll probably get mine from Kogan, which seems cheapest reliable retailer atm. Buying outright, so I can take advantage of Virgin's $10 off plans when you BYO, as well as the bonus 1GB data promo.
I sincerely hope I don't get a newer HBOOT. In the case I do, I'll probably go with a custom ROM. Probably ARHD.

Nope, Radio isn't checked.
My HTC One has arrived, but unfortunately, it has HBOOT 1.54.
It's a 2.xx.708 from Hong Kong which has MID PN0714000 and CID HTC_622
How sad.
Going the custom ROM path.
I'd like suggestions on what custom ROM any of you guys use. I'd prefer one without third-party apps like file managers, or Flash player.
I'm looking at TrickDroid or Maximus HD.
OK so I have a HTC One M7 on Verizon, I recently Rooted, Unlocked the BootLoader, and S-Off'd the device. Now I'm wanting to transfer this phone to T-Mobile. I currently am using a MC11 Rom and feel pretty good with flashing and such. I have seen a couple different post some saying that a Verizon M7 will work on T-Mobile, others saying that the radio is different and others saying that you won't get 4G LTE. Can anyone help me out and give me some solid answers? I really don't wanna brick my phone and I definitely want 4G LTE. I'm sort of confused on what RUU to get and also is there a way to see the specs such as radio info and such to make sure everything is compatible? If anybody could help me out i'd really appreciate it. Lastly if I put this in the wrong section i'm sorry, this is my first post

Verizon & T mobile have different hardware partition layout
so confirm that first then proceed
you can brick your phone careful !
OK well how would I do that to check? Is there any forum you can link me to that shows how to do this? Sorry to ask basicly a step by step but I just wanna be saf through this. Thanks BTW.

Only phones with MID starting with PN071 (GSM M7_U or M7_UL) can be converted to other variants having MID starting with PN071 (GSM M7_U or M7_UL).
For example, you can convert a WWE GSM variant (PN0710000) to a Dev edition GSM variant (PN0712000)
You can't convert a Sprint CDMA variant (PN0720000) to a GSM variant (PN071XXXX)
Afaik, (I might be wrong, confirm if your partition table is the same)You can't (?) convert a Verizon CDMA variant (PN0731000) to a T-MOB GSM variant (PN0713000)
Afaik, MIDs not having the same 3rd digit have different partition layout and different hardware. Make sure before proceeding.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416038
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317621
So you should be fine changing your MID from PN0731000 to any PN071 MID and flashing a RUU.
But you will probably not have LTE because flashing RUU doesnt change frequency bands.
i know all nexuses are pretty much the same and we can run the tmobile and sprint and international roms etc on my vzw nexus. however what about radios?

to add things that they can use on their network. like tmobile and WiFi calling. sure, google can add it into Verizon's as well, but Verizon users can't use it.

Radios are tuned sometimes to work better on different networks. You should see how many Samsung have.
More radios, more choice.
Anyone here using an unlocked 4plus on the sprint network without any problems? There is a problem with the unlocked e4 plus using ipv4 over 3g\LTE on sprint in resulting certain apps not working. I would have to either use 1x or wifi for certain apps to work. For example the tunein app radio and and other radio apps wouldn't work over 3g or LTE but would work over wifi. The sprint variant doesn't have this issue, something is broken or not provisioned properly for the unlocked version. I have yet to see a fix, not sure if sprint or moto cares enough to fix the issue. The unlocked moto e4 plus isn't fully compatible with the sprint network as advertised by moto.

There is something I remember seeing for ivp4/ivp6 that was device specific in the kernel maybe, I forget. I have the Boost variant and I'm running the f2fs patched kernel which is the same as the retail variant. I'm looking through it now and don't see it or any other Sprint carrier specific things like the Boost kernel has. I'll check the origional kernel and see if I can find it, maybe I can do something. Do you see ivp4/ivp6 in your apn settings? If you only have ivp4 listed, maybe you can just add ivp6 to the apn settings if you haven't already tried. I'll keep searching for what I'm looking for. Actually, I wonder if you flashed the Sprint firmware (system, kernel and oem only) or even just the kernel, if it would solve your problem. The oem partition has a lot of sprint specific apps and overlays in it also. Not having some of those could be a problem. It wouldn't hurt anything to try flashing the kernel and oem. You can easily re-flash them back if it doesn't work without any problems. I'm not sure if the modem could be a problem or not either now that I think about it. Do you know what radio your running?
