Does your One has a custom ROM, or is it like it came out of the box?
Stock Android could be a clean Android, no Sense UI. You can only get a Stock Android on ONE if you have a GPE, or converted it. If it's neither of those, then you have Sense. Now, it depends on the carrier you have. AT&T, T-mobile, and Sprint already released the 4.3 upgrade. Verizon is still messing around with it.

Sorry I meant stock sense. I am on Vodafone UK and the update for that came out a week ago. I'm pretty sure have not put any rooms on

Hey guys, I just purchased a Google Edition HTC One and I'm waiting to receive it from shipping. My question is can I flash ROMs from the HTC One international version? Im not exactly sure how the Google Edition is identified so I'm not sure if I'm suppose to be sticking to this forum section for international unlocked devices or AT&T version for instance.
I know that despite it is a Google Edition, if I recall correctly, it's just possibly an AT&T or T-Mobile variant. So I just wanted to know, if I am going to be flashing ROMs onto this Google Edition HTC One, which version of the phone I should be in for forum sections before I cause irreversible damage. I really want to get Paranoid Android or Revolt ROM onto it ASAP.
Thanks for any insight

So, this is the forum you want, go to original android dev in this forum, these roms are there but still waiting resources from google!!, if you are asking about sense roms, i think you will be able flash them once you achieve s-off and supercid

Is there a reason why I must stay specifically in original android development? The ROM I'm eyeing is in the android development section. I'm not looking for any sense ROMs. I love the stock experience with the ability to change DPI's on my apps. That's it. Sorry if I'm not understanding it all right away, so I will be in HTC One forum but cannot jump into android development section just yet? I don't get what you mean by resources from google.
quick side note question, is the google edition bootloader unlocked?
Thanks for the quick responses
edit: i just realized Revolt ROM 4+, the one I'm looking to load, is in android original development. didn't mean to confuse anyone.
Anyone have answer to my earlier questions?
I wonder why anyone would want to buy a Google search edition phone but all you simply have to do is flash an appropriate ROM on the normal HTC One.

To answer your question.. I'm sure you'll be able to flash any roms you would like...don't see a reason why not same hardware basically
You can flash roms from the international version make sure have the things that are required for the rom you like take a look around there's plenty already :laugh:
thanks.
Hey guys I'm planning on buying an HTC one and I had a few questions about the GE version.
1. Where is the development? I can't find any recoveries or anything about the GE version.
2. Will sense roms be able to flash or since the bootloader is different that will cause incompatibility?
3. Do you think the resale value worse than say the AT&T version?
1. I don't understand that question.
2. Yes you can flash Sense ROMs.
3. I do not foresee things.

There is no official dev yet.
Sent from my HTC One
there isn't anyone witha shipped phone yet, and I seriously doubt many people on XDA would buy one. There's no reason to, the phone is identical hardware wise to the AT&T phone, software will leak for it, software always leaks.
Someone with an S-off phone can install the leaked RUU when it surfaces and convert their phone to the Google edition.
Thanks for the answers guys. I went ahead and bought a sense version.
Noob question. If I unlock the bootloader of my stock Sprint HTC One currently running Sense 5 and Android 4.3, could I receive an OTA update for Android 4.4 like the unlocked Developer Edition does? Basically is there anything I can do to retain Sense and update to 4.4 ahead of Sprint's schedule? Thanks.

No and no. You don't want to change your CID, it's what people at the international forum do to receive faster updates(debrand), cause if you flash a GSM ROM you'll brick your phone.
All you can do is wait till someone ports it to Sprint(@gruesomewolf has a working ROM), or wait till Sprint releases the official update

Hi,
I have unlocked HTC One M8 with S-OFF also; originally for Sprint but now using in India (purchased through ebay).
Can I install Andoird 6.? I have installed GPE 5.1 and it is always showing Android 6 update downloaded but unable to update. It just gets rebooted.
Any help!

There's currently only 1 Android 6.0 ROM that works on Sprint M8 and it is quite buggy since it's an alpha release. Here's the link:

Thanks, saw this. What is different about Sprint HTC from normal HTC. Are the hardware fundamentally different in some ways?

Sprint has some "extra" stuff installed on their phones that requires a ROM with Sprint compatability to work. Flashing the normal HTC firmware onto the Sprint hardware will cause a brick.

Just wanna put it out there, the ROM is not so buggy. I have been using it as my daily driver since a week. Never had any issues so far, battery life is also great.

Besides radio, there's some apps inside that Sprint put in, like the Kids Mode app and some other Sprint bloat. I don't know much about this bloat since I was never on Sprint's network.

The Marshmallow Rom port for Sprint isn't buggy at all. I was using it with Xposed and it ran great. You definitely can run as your daily.

It's not just extra stuff, it's the phone structure even system partition. Basically Sprint network is cdma but it has a option to run gsm when Sprint customer travels international. But it's a cdma global phone. International M8 is totally different than cdma global and hence you won't be able to run international ROM unless developer made a port for Sprint version. Many peopl bricked their phones and wasted many days fixing it, including me lol.. it's not worth trying

I used to have Bad Boyz ROM for my daily drive. I tried GPE ROM with Android 5.0 and all other Sprint compatible ROMs including Viper ROM. I also tried to flash international ROMs, but had lot of issues (one of the issue I can reacall is system partition was screwed up after flashing - which caused issued with playing music, music wouldn't play continuously). Then I got a new phone from Sprint with Uh Oh protection guarantee and never rooted it ever since. It works like charm, though I struggled not to root in the beginning.. Have a Nexus 7 for all the tasting stuff . Until HTC releases Android 6.0 I have no issues living with Lollipop, its still great!

Hi guys, super excited just got an M9, I have been rocking a HTC EVO from Sprint for many years. I loved the phone and the custom rom I had made the phone last.
Anyways, just switched over to tmobile. Just got the phone. Wondering if it makes sense to download the RUU from htc and install marshmellow that way as opposed to hodge podge updates from tmobile? Also figured it would be bloat free.

RUU are the same as if you got it from the Store, bloat and all.
I would take the chance and S-OFF if you can/IF YOU WANT... This update might block S-OFF.
But personally I'm S-OFF and always go for the RUU. OTA tend to be bad downloads sometimes. And you have a fresh Marshmallow experience compared to a Lollipop to Marshmallow update which might carry over issues/bugs.
Thanks for the reply Tachi! So I should definately S off before going either route. Going to install TWRP. Any other recommendations before hand?
I thought if you used the stock htc RUU, that any bloatware from t-mobile would not be on there.

The RUU's are given to HTC after the carriers make their changes to them. Unless you convert to a Dev/European edition.. But then you'll still have some bloatware, just a small handful(<4ish).
Follow the typical S-OFF threads around here.... Other then that be cautious of what you do
