Hello,
Before this i was a proud owner of the HTC Diamond 2 (Topaz). That was an amazing phone back than.
But on topic:
I have/had a developer edition HTC when i bought it and after updating the phone to 4.2.X the developers function was gone.
My question is that if i restore my phone to the default factory settings, is there a chance that the developer functions will come back?
Second question is (don't know if it is the right section for this topic):
I wanted to unlock and root my phone via the HTCdev site, but after i submited the code it gave me an error. Don't remember the error code though.
This because i want the google edition so badly. Unless 4.4 kitkat is coming with the standart google edition over sense, than it's worth waiting and avoid warranty void.
Sorry for my bad English

Hi Guys
I want to get the HTC One to replace my Galaxy S II as my contract just expired. I used to have a HTC Touch HD back in the ol' WinMo days and I find the HTC One more appealing than the Galaxy S IV (UK edition) or the Xperia Z
I had only one question though - if in the unlikely event that my phone suffers a hardware issue and I'm unlocked and rooted etc, will I be able to restore the phone to the state I got it from or will there be some sort of detectable change by HTC that lets them see that I've tinkered with the software and so can't get warranty support?
I ask this because I had an issue with my Galaxy S II and there was a program that stopped the flash counter on that from working so I could just restore the stock ICS firmware on that and send it in to get it fixed a couple of months ago, and I feel that having a custom ROM is sort of a necessity for me now (flashaholic...), so is it possible for me to (in the event of a disaster) restore the phone firmware via fastboot etc and send it back in to HTC?
TLDR - If I root a HTC One can I restore it completely for warranty purposes so HTC doesn't realise?
Thanks in advance, I apologise for being retarded/nooby etc....

If its a Dev phone it probably wont matter. Its sold for development purposes. I'm not positive here but i think the only way to make one 100% back to stock is to be s-off. All recent HTC phones say tampered on the bootloader when unlocked. I think s-off is needed to fix that..
You can but it says relocked and you submit all your phones details to htc when unlocking the bootloader. But if you go on the android revolution blog. Mike has done a great post on how it doesn't void warranty. I have sent my relocked phone and htc have been fine.

Wow, thanks, I found the post and it was very informative. I'm not planning on damaging my brand new HTC One when I do get it, but it is handy to know that I'll be covered if something else that isn't my fault does indeed go wrong, as was the case for my current S2!
Thanks for the advice, I just need to see how the contract works with respect to keeping my phone number etc, and then hopefully I'll be getting the phone
Hi,
I'm getting a HTC One this week and I would like to know whether I need to get the Developer edition to use custom roms or whether the xda community has already found a way to unlock a locked bootloader on the standard HTC One?
I'm not worried about the phone being unlocked for carriers (I'm sticking with o2).
also, is there any other benefit of the Dev Edition or is it purely so it isn't locked to a carrier and unlocked bootloader?
Hi
Greetings,
If you.want to flash a custom Rom I prefer you get the developer edition
Yes we can unlock, root and install custom Rom on the normal HTC one.
Getting the developers editions will save your time in unlocking bootloader
Choices is yours:thumbup:

Hey, I just bought the HTC One Dev, it is on its way. I've been using iOS for a long time and this phone looks better to me than the iPhone 5.
Anyway, it will be my first Android device so I am a complete noob. Will flashing roms to Dev Edition also void the warranty? Just curious, I know that if done right, nothing will go wrong, just want to know if there is any other benefit other than 64GB and not having to root it. Another question, how can I root original Sense 5 to the phone if I later decide to sell it or just want the stock back?
Thanks in advanced.
Edit: Wrong thread
I got my htc one (non dev edition) and was able to unlock bootloader, root and install custom roms without issue.
no idea about warranty
Hi All,
Apologies in advice if the question I am asking is going to come across as a silly one.
I am about to purchase a new HTC One 4G LTE phone.
It will have the 4.2.1 OS with Sense 5.
I was holding out for the Google Edition but apparently it will take months before it gets to my region.
I am very new to the whole Android ROM flashing and BootLoader unlocking process - so am yet to understand how it all works, and hence here is my question
What is the probability that in the near future that I get to replace the current ROM with that of the ROM on the new Google Edition HTC Ones being released this month in the US.
HTC has released something on htcDEV for the Google Edition - what exactly is it?
Will it only be a custom ROM that mimics / or tries to do a close port of the Google Edition HTC One ROM - or will it be exactly the same?
Keen to understand how it all works and if I should wait or just go ahead and purchase my new phone.
Cheers.

The probability is very high that you can replace your current Rom with the official Google one...you'll have choices to choose from...if you want you can go from what exactly Google has provided or you can go more custom but with Google's kernel source in there... Whatever you wish...they released the kernel source on HTC dev..this basically killed any bugs we had left in our custom roms ..we can implement that in there...
I'm the next few days you'll see more development coming through with this new release
Presumably you can, since it's all the same phone with same specs. Best of all, devs will probably be able to fill in the missing gaps in original roms using data from the GE phone.
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.
I want to get the bamboo/ white moto x , but it's on 500 eur ( 32 gb) on Amazon and 550 eur on Moto maker, I don't need the moto maker version, since I want to go with the stock white/bamboo configuration, but on moto maker you get the pure edition. As far as I know the unlocked gsm version has a locked bootloader and if you want to unlock it you need to use Motorola's website and lose your warranty :crying: , am I right?
Can you unlock the bootloader from the pure edition without voiding the warranty? I just want to root to install xposed but to me it's totally worth the 50 extra euros if I am going to get to keep my warranty :laugh:
On motorola's website you get the following message "You have only yourself to blame. Unless you have a Developer Edition device, once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty" , notice how they say developer edition and NOT pure edition, I'm quite confused ...
Pure edition is also known as a Developer edition. For more info please see this thread:

Thanks! Good to know, the bad thing is that it appears that MotorolA does not honor the warranty for some people with the pure edition and for other people it does
