Since the official Mango has been released yesterday, there is finally a new version available. Since i've installed the developer release, i didn't got the update but i thought that since the version number was the same, i didn't miss anything.
Lately i've found more sources that claim that some firmware versions have been updated so i'm wondering if i should update to the official version.
I've also seen that the official mango release is stated as the KH5 version, opposed to the KH2 version i'm currently running right now and was the developer release.
So mainly my question is: what are the big differenses between the official mango release (KH5) and my developer release (KH2)?
With the new firmware versions now available: has batterytime improved? I find the current batterytime (1 day and 8 or 16 hours) a bit low, so i'm hoping that power management has been improved?
And lastly: i've updated to the developer release including the CSC that came with it. At the time (flashing) i didn't realise it would mess up my provider information. I got rid of most of the branding, but the boot up and default search provider remain T-Mobile (German) which is somewhat annoying. What CSC do i need to download/use in order to get back to my original unbranded T-Mobile Dutch version i bought in the shop? I cannot seem to find one that, i think, is what i need, namely a XEN-type CSC.
I'm s-off/supercid on a TMOUS One, and running the latest sense Insertcoin with latest international firmware that came with it.
TMOUS released new firmware/radio that apparently gives an LTE performance boost. I flashed just the radio, but haven't seen much improvement, while my girlfriend took the OTA and gets a few more MBPS than I do in the same location.
Since I'm already on a 'higher' firmware / android version, can I even flash a 'lower' firmware? If so, do I have to stop using Insertcoin since it's 4.2.2 and the TMOUS RUU is 4.1.2?
Hi guys,
I'm a proud owner of a HTC One M7 International Unlocked U.S and so far I coudn't upgrade it to Android 4.2 via OTA (it's still running the stock 4.1). How can I proceed in order to get it running version 4.2? Is it possible to update it to Android 4.2 via USB? Is root needed in order to do that? Thank you very much.
What software build are you on at the moment?

EddyOS,
The software number is 1.36.599.1 and Android Version 4.1.2
Going by this thread (which I found by searching, something you should become familiar with ) there seem to be other on the same build saying there are things missing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43272550
Should point you in the right direction
This another thread is not related to the updates but it helped me understood this version is for LATAM (Mexico) and probably it's the cause I'm not receiving the update via OTA. Any options left?
Hi,
I recently bought HTC One developer edition using in India,
Received the Android 4.3 Jellybean Update after 2 minor updates of 17.2mb and 17.6mb, after update i came to know it still have the older version of sense i.e 5.0. Currently the device has Software version 3.22.1540.1.(see the attached screenshot). Also I have seen the devices running 4.3 with sense 5.5 have software version 3.62.401.1
So Please help me understand what went wrong with the updates and help me to get sense 5.5 update.
Thanks
Nothing went wrong, the US versions are Sense 5.0 (they got Android 4.3 before everybody else). I suspect you'll get Sense 5.5 or newer with Android 4.4 early next month.
you can always flash a custom rom .
Try Android Revolution . it is pretty good with sense 5.5

It was from my understanding that the Dev. edition is the same everywhere. There is no US Developer edition.
About the Sense 5.5, I do know that not every HTC One has Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5. There are Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5, and Android 4.3 and Sense 5.0 firmwares out there. There is nothing wrong with your update. I know the US versions don't have Sense 5.5 yet: just like BenPope stated. LoL!! It was funny typing your name.

There might not be a "US Developer edition", but the LTE bands are for AT&T & TMobile in the USA, and it's only sold in the States; take away from that what you will.
The Developer Edition is currently using 4.3 with Sense 5.0. The European phones received Sense 5.5, but the Developer Edition is a US phone. Not a bad thing. You'll be getting Android 4.4 before everybody else I suspect, and likely with Sense 5.5 or newer.
Thank you folks for your reply
I have contacted HTC India, they told me to contact HTC USA So @No_Nickname90 i guess there is a US Dev Edition.
Contacted HTC USA, told them the problem and they asked me to go to htcdev.com for the update which i'm looking for.(didn't find the update "software version 3.62.401.1" for HTC dev edition)
So this was the reply from them.
I am sorry to know you did not find the kernel source code you were looking for; we will release source code in accordance with any applicable open source license terms. We are working to release appropriate kernel code bases as soon as possible after device launch but we cannot guarantee the exact time frame. Other source codes, which are not required to be disclosed by the open source license terms, unfortunately cannot be disclosed by HTC as they may be proprietary to HTC or its licensor.
If you're using the developer edition software, you'd have to convert it to use the European version (3.62.401.1) that you mentioned. You could do it and get Sense 5.5 with some work, or you can wait 1-2 weeks and HTC will be updating the Developer Edition over the air with even newer software. If you convert to the European version, you'll be waiting longer for Android 4.4.
Remember, they are still the same phone on a hardware level. So if your Dev Edition is working correctly with your carrier, just wait for the update that is rolling out very soon.
If you want to convert, you'll need to use Rumrunner to get S-Off, change the CID to HTC__001 and the MID to PN710000, downgrade bootloader to v 1.44, downgrade the touchscreen firmware, then flash the European software to your phone. Once done, you should receive the OTA update to Android 4.3 with Sense 5.5. It's a lot of work for a small (and temporary) gain. Another option is to use TWRP and a Guru Reset file from http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ Make sure to flash the stock recovery and radio when doing that so you receive future updates. For that method, you still need to be S-Off, CID HTC__001, and MID PN710000.
My recommendation is to leave it the way it is. If you convert, you'll be back here in two weeks disappointed that you have to wait for Android 4.4.
I am running CM-11 Android 4.4.4 HTC One Verizon.
I have noticed that I never connect to LTE when using the default preferred network type of CDMA+LTE/EvDO, however if I change it to LTE I often can connect using LTE however then I cannot receive phone calls.
I have been looking for updated firmware for the radio however I have been unable to find them for 4.4.4. My baseband version is 1.13.41.0109_2. I have seen updates but they are all for 4.4.3. Can I use the firmware for 4.4.3 for Android 4.4.4? If not where can I find them?
Thanks,
Kirk
PS: this is my first time running a rooted custom rom so please bear with me.
