Since S-Off Is carrier branding a thing of the past?

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

Hello Meraj,
That message means that your phone has been modified from stock. That's why you won't get updates.
Boot the phone into the bootloader, and post the information it displays, here
It will tell you what Carrier ID and firmware it's using, among other things.
Maybe the phone can be reverted back to stock software.

Thanks for your reply..
Here is the picture of bootloader.
Can it be revert back . While in bootloader I saw couple of options of rebooting or to factory setting , wipe out n all.. will it be helpful .
Thank you

That confirms it.
That boot loader screen shows:
1) the phone is unlocked.
2 ) the "tampered" flag is set, which is probably because a custom recovery (TWRP aka Win Recovery) has been flashed on the phone.
3) the Hboot is version 1.44. That's a good thing.
Now you need to determine what the CID and MID are.
Do you have "ADB" installed on a computer that you can use ?

And if you wish to continue it with better rom... Try flashing ViperOne.... I bought from Dubai, used, unlocked & tempered too

To have ota update, you need both CID and MID that matches regions that received and update. You also need stock recovery and locked bootloader (yours is unlocked and I guess you have a custom recovery installed)
we need the info from fastboot getvar all command to help you
but do not post info related to your s/n and imei
if you don't know how, go read about adb and fastboot first

update help
hello guys.. thank you all for your help//
somehow manage to get these details about fastboot. . i am adding the picture.. i dont understand much but i have intuition that it might be asia ruu. please help me find one.. but one thing please if i go back to original stock then will i face the sim lock problem ( as i bought it in dubai and if the phone is from another country and by some other carrier on which only their sim works)? and main concern that if i will get all the regular updates launched by htc,
thank you

update help
i am sorry the picture wasnt clear before

IMPORTANT Make s-off first.
Sent from my HTC 802w

The phone is indeed from the UK as it's a Vodafone handset. Good news is you can get S-OFF following the revone thread and then flash the generic 1.28.401.7 RUU to get back to 100% and it will then get the OTA updates to get up-to-date

What about the SIM lock .. so before flashing important thing is to s off ..

First take a look at this thread. Htc one variants explained there.
Difference between htc one at&t (801n) and 801e is the modem chip. 801n support gsm/hspa/lte and 801e doen't support lte (only gsm/hspa)
Yes you can flash a stock rom for 801e on your at&t 801n but you will probably lose lte support. You aslo need s-off to change MID and CID

801n is not only for at&t, its a model code, not a CID
801n models are sold in the usa, canada, europe, midle est and africa for many carriers; At&t, Rogers, T-Mobile, Vergin, Telus, Bell, Google Play Edition, Developer Edition. Its the most common model of htc one.

When he says it unlocked with code given by AT&T he means its SIM unlocked which will allow you to use it with all carriers, not only At&t. The best way to check if this is true, is to test it with another sim card before you buy.

The IMEI# doesn't belong to at&t and isn't carrier specific. IMEI is for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Its a unique # generated by the phone manufacturer. If the phone is reported stolen, or it have unpaid bills, chance is that its IMEI# is black listed and you won't be able to connect to any carrier. So be sure it have a CLEAN IMEI before buying.

If the device still running the at&t software version with at&t CID, then you'll receive ota update from at&t. If you convert your phone to international wwe, or developer edition software then you'll receive ota faster. Converting your phone need s-off, cid change, sometimes hboot downgrade and mid change.

[Q]htc one m7 gold doesn't have Update option

Hey guys
My friend recently bought a Htc One m7 gold, but unfortunately I cant see any option for update the phone in Settings>>About.
I recently bought a htc one xl just like that without update option.
My htc one m7 has everything.
Guide me please.
Thanks in advance.

You probably have a custom ROM installed.

It could be because of the carrier the device was made for doesn't offer OTA updates and removed the option.
Bat cave One

Well, get the CID and model number for us, and what does it say in software info?

you can change ROM with better one from http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7,
but you must know your phone CID & MID before dwonload

Thanks guys
Its under carrier.
Solved.
