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

1. Don't bump threads
2. It'll happen when it's officially out. it's a leak at the moment so no one officially has 4.2.2 yet
Ok first off I'm not all that familiar with htc's ways. I know that with previous bootloader unlocks we were able to flash custom roms and what not. Now with S-off we are able to change anything on the phone software wise. So that being said is carrier branding not so much an impact now?
For instance,
My phone is an att htc one which can receive AT&T ota updates. I know with the bootloader unlock I was able to flash international roms and have all the updated goodies of the international phone owners. But that being said I was still not able to receive international OTA updates since I was still branded AT&T.
Is the Cid what determines this?
If so, with s-off can we just change it to the international, developer edition, or any other carrier ID that we choose. Then flash an RUU from that carrier and then practically be the same as having the international or developer edition phone? Would we then be able to receive OTAs just like the dev or international editions get?
Yes, you can run any RUU on your phone. That does not guarantee everything will work, however.
Flashing firmware from another carrier won't get you OTAs from them. Getting OTAs is a combination of your CID and your carrier. I can tell you from my experience with the One X, lots of folks who got AT&T phones and took them overseas after sim unlocking never got any AT&T OTAs. So I doubt it would work on this phone either.
I don't know what will happen with the Google edition, when it comes out. I don't think anyone knows until it's released. It's possible you will get OTAs from Google if you can get that on your phone.

Thanks for your response.
Ok say for instance I buy an HTC One Dev edition strait from htc. I then put that phone on at&ts service. I would stiill get ota's strait from htc right?
So for my at&t branded htc one with s-off. Assuming that I have the cid from the dev edition and a stock dev edition ruu, what else would be there to stop me from getting ota's strait from htc like the dev edition does?
First off, to use dev ruu you need supercid.

So you couldnt install a dev ruu with the dev cid? What else would keep it from installing?
Ok let me put it like this. As far as I know there is no hardware differences between the htc one dev edition and the htc one at&t edition. That being said since we have s-off and are now able to change anything and everything on the phone software wise, can we not convert our at&t devices over to htc one dev editions and get OTAs directly from HTC and what not?
what is supercid? cid - 11111111?

yes that is supercid
As long as you have the dev edition cid and the dev edition ruu, theoretically you should get the OTA updates. Same with the Google Edition because these two are not carrier branded and the updates come directly from HTC and Google.

I thought Google will be the one releasing all the updates for the Nexus edition (Google experience) phones?
Consider Developer Edition still stuck on 4.12, I would hope Nexus edition updates are handled by Google not HTC

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.
So today I received the 4.4 KitKat OTA on my unlocked HTC one and was wondering if it possible to switch run time to ART? Is this developer option available on the Android 4.4 Sense 5.5 Unlocked HTC One?

The option is hide
It's a decision by htc...
As mentioned by Guich above, HTC haven't made the option visible.
There's a mod which will enable it here but, judging by the comments in there, it doesn't work yet. I definitely suggest keeping an eye on that thread as I doubt it will take long before it's working correctly

You must be connected to the at&t network to update an at&t M7. Achieve S-off and convert it to a dev edition so you can update it no matter what is your carrier.
is there an easy way to do that?
can you post a link? i haven't had to flash a rom since windows phone. lol
