I have a rooted Sprint HTC one s-off and I just flashed the deoxed version of the new 4.4.2 kitkat update and I do have to say I am very upset with it. It has nothing I was looking forward too. I really want the google edition of the update, How would I be able to go about doing that because I cant find one that will flash onto my phone. i use TWRP 2.6.3.0 since I cannot find a newer version. personally I want the actual kitkat game type thing when you hit the android version and the photosphere 4.3 camera to be my stock camera. If anybody could help me with this or explain why it's not possible that would be fantastic and very helpful.
I don't have your answer but you should be posting in the questions section for a better chance of getting help. Not trying to come off as rude, I just want to let you know.
Thank you I was unwear about that place

It seems after several days searching the net that I am the only person on earth with this phone, who wants to root anyway. Does anyone have custom recovery for this phone so I can root? Or ever the stock recovery because I flashed the gsm cwm by mistake and now can't get into recovery. Thanks

After reviewing all the helpful advice I've received over here at Xda (I'm being a smart ass) and lots of Google searches I've learned what I need is to flash an ruu for my phone. I've seen threads here where someone decided to be helpful and posted ruu downloads for the desire c gsm, but I'm cdma. Where can I get my ruu? I was told htcdev.com but all the is for my device are kernel source, is this what I need to get the ruu? I know everyone here is much better then me, and no doubt way cooler, but please don't let that stop you from just typing a few lines and helping me out. I promise, I will bow down and exalt the new gods of XDA DEV. Thanks.

What are you trying to do? Root the phone or return it to stock?

What are you trying to do? Root the phone or return it to stock))
I was trying to root and flash cm my last two phones couldn't get cm so I've been looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about. That's why I bought this phone, because I read that there was cm for it. but now that I know there is no recovery avaliable I guess I'm going stock until one becomes avaliable or I can make one. I guess if I have a working ruu to restore my phone with if something goes wrong I could still root at least
I've downloaded all the dev tools and am tracking down reading / resources to aid in the learning process. Any suggestions? I'm experienced in HTML but that's it. Thank you for responding I'm glad to be here at XDA and I will have useful things to continue on the future if I'm allowed to learn and others are willing to point me in the right direction at least.

There are 4 custom recoveries. And a stock one in the untouched ROM ( I don't currently have the link to it)
Here are the three i found:
Touch recovery
CWMR
TWRP
If your problem is something else, please clarify as i am really slow xD
As to learning process, as ive said before, start off with just testing stuff. Then move on to what you want to do first, in my case it was a kernel that is neatly organized. For all i know you might want to develop apps or themes, thats your choice :3. Have fun and ask me further questions over skype or facebook in my details.

All of those or for gsm phones. My problem is that my phones cdma. I've already tried that just not even thinking and that's why I now have no recovery. I want to root but I'm not wanting to risk it till there's a recovery. Anyway unless I get a one click to work on this phone, I don't think any do, if have to get into recovery anyway.

Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle!!
I have searched the forums but dont really know too much about what I need so please forgive me if im going over old ground.
Basically Im sick of waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update of my HTC One from 3UK.:crying: As everyone else is getting their update 3UK have changed their tune numerous times about weather the update has been pulled, Is in testing, Is being rolled out or now low and behold its back in testing again. They never give a straight answer and after tweeting them someone else has reccomended changing my CID? to allow me to ge the update.
I have been reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and I was wondering if this is indeed what I need to do. If I follow the instructions in this thread I understand it changes the CID on my phone, but how do I then go about getting the 4.2.2 update?
Where would I get it from and would that affect any future OTA updates. I dont want to root the phone as Im quite happy with Sense 5 I just want to be able to get the 4.2.2 update without having to wait for three to push it.
So basically can I use the procedure in the link above to change my CID. And after doing this where do I then get the update from. Do I then just check for updates??
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Regards,
Chris.:laugh:

Use Revone to s-off and unlock, change CID from H3G__001 to HTC__001, flash the unbranded RUU, updates will appear when available on your device.
Use search for all of the above, unless someone else wants to give you the links..

Thanks so much. Thats pretty much what I needed. So as I know that 4.2.2 is available on my HTC one, once I have done all of the above, I check for updates and it should download?
Don't expect any help on here mate.
I'm in the same position as you.
The reason why Three are taking long is because they're loading it with their logos and bloatware.
Let me know how you get on.
Will let you try it first, will then try it on mine

Don't expect any help? This site is full of people helping - for free. The reason people sometimes don't answer is because they see and answer the same questions every day. Everything you both need is in my post above. As well as in about 10+ other tutorial threads if you would bother using the search at the top of the page..

My mum's a GP, if she ignored all the people who came in asking her the same questions every day, she'd be out of a job and would have some pretty sick patients
OP I appreciate you're new but you could have found the answer to your question yourself without posting this. You won't get any carrier updates from 3 until 3 release them, even if you have superbloodyunicornCID, isn't that obvious? All superCID does is allow you to bypass regional ROM restrictions. The only way you're going to get 4.2.2 before three release it is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a stock 4.2.2 ROM. All you'll probably do messing about with your CID is brick your phone, and then you'll have to spam the forums more.

What's your mum got to do with anything? She gets paid £60k+ to not ignore people, the guys on here are giving help for free. Anyway, this is going off topic. Use the search and you'll find what you want.

Hi. You will have to change your CID and whilst doing anything of this nature carries a risk, it's a very low one.
I too was stock brand with 3. Follow one of the many video guides to use revone and get s-off as suggested above. Then download the stock wwe (world wide English) RUU and follow the on-screen instructions. The one I used was a standard 1.28 version. Again, use one of the great guides on here to download adb and change your CID to htc__001. Bear in mind there are 2 underscores there. You're phone will then see a small update and then again will recognise the 4.2.2 update.
That's if you want everything official. Mike1986 has a great guide on all this as does vomer in the android development thread.
If you want to run a Rom using 4.2.2 then it's just as simple, I personally was using mike1986's android revolution.
It all sounds daunting but take your time and follow the guides and you will be fine. It's very difficult to brick these phones.
Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything just in case.

Hello,
I have an htc one from o2. I want to root it to google edition. Iam a noob at this so can someone show me the way or links to a tutorial please.
Is it worth doing? whats the advantages of a rooted phone? sorry for the questions but i have come from iphone to android so iam new to all this.
thanks
My advice is keep studying, install the sdk and get good at adb and comfortable! Once you're ready and able use a guide for your phone and read it a couple times before you start. Most importantly don't stop any operations you attempt in mid stream follow through and don't reboot until you know it's all good. Hope it's as fun for you as it was for me.

thanks for that, but that means nothing to me.Whats the advantages etc. Is it worth it. i can follow tutorials etc. just need to know what the best guide is etc
If you don't know what the advantages of a rooted phone are and what root means, why are you trying to do it? To be honest I don't even understand your post - do you want to root your rom, have a rooted google edition rom or fully convert to a google edition phone?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
sorry for the confusion. Like i say im new to this.
I dont know the difference, i know rooting that you can put custom roms on it, but whats the difference and best, do fully make it google edition or put a custom rom on?

First off, you don't need to be rooted to flash a custom rom - all you need is a custom recovery after you unlock your bootloader. A good guide for noobs to read is the one by mike1986 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
If I were you, I'd stick to just flashing a google edition rom to see if you like it, rather than doing a full conversion. This way you can easily get back to stock. This rom is 4.3 Google edition and already rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341395
Read the guide above carefully though. Especially the parts about backing up stock, or you'll be back here later asking for help..

If for some reason I wanted to return to a stock ROM on my device, is there a site where I can download the latest stock ROM.
For example. I currently have a Nandroid backup of my HTC One's 4.2.2 Sense 5.0 ROM. While this is the latest stock at the moment, if per say when the finally get 4.3, is there a site or perhaps a thread on the forums where people post stock ROMs for their carrier/device.
I have looked about Google but haven't really managed to find much. Or at least resources which looks trustworthy/updated often.
Thanks and sorry for the noob question

I bought an HTC One (M7) second hand. The previous owner had rooted the device among other things.
It's currently working on Rogers network.
Can you help me find out what the original software version/carrier was on it?
I was thinking of using the latest Rogers RUU but I don't want to wreck anything.
Is there anything that may hinder me from using the RUU?
The phone shows, S-On, *Tampered*, *Unlocked*
Please give me any advice you can and I can clarify anything you need.
I have experience flashing roms on other phones this one seems more complicated.
My main goal is to have a stable Android 4.4+ on my device.
Thanks!

You're saying I should leave it alone and just flash a custom Rom vs a stock one?
I actually like that idea.
But, if I wanted to go stock in the future could I just use the RUU or would I need to do some other changes first?

Yeah just install a custom rom.
I need to go back to stock for warranty still trying to figure out what to do execty.
there are some guides on how to do that. but since you have a second hand I don't think you will have to ever go back to stock for warranty issues
