Let me make this clear for you. It's not the method which makes GSM not work on non-sense roms. After the phone is unlocked our cmda phone needs some extra files which are included only in sense roms in order to have gsm. Unfortunately there aren't any google play sprint phones, so all the non-sense roms are PORTS, which means the are not intended for cmda phones, it's the devs who modify them. Mostly the devs try to have cmda working (this is the primary purpouse of this phone), not gsm. There are actually some cm roms wich work with gsm I think

I was just wondering how easy would it be to port over other roms made for the gsm versions of the HTC One to ours? I understand that the only big difference is that ours use a cdma radio. so how hard would it be to add that to a rom?
I've never developed a rom so im sure that more has to be done then just throwing in something to use the cdma radio and I'm only asking because the at&t version already has a alpha CM10 rom.
here is the link to the htc one CM10 build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248116
Difficult. Doable, but not easy.
GSM to CDMA (Sprint HTC One, for example) is hard. CDMA to CDMA is easier
And to port, you need a base, so we would need an AOSP 4.1.x (made for the Sprint HTC One) to use in porting.
Viperboy is working on a tool to allow us to flash international roms right now.
hmm okay i figured it wasn't easy, viperboy is amazing! wow, that just makes this phone even better!
Im looking for some developer to post a guide on turning a regular Htc One like the T Mobile or AT&T version into a Developer Edition One that will get Ota updates from Htc. All the internets await the dev that does this, or 5 bucks on paypal. Whatever you choose.
This has already been done, although not in one tutorial yet on XDA.
Basicly unlock bootloader via Revolution method S-OFF flash standard RUU (I suggest a 1.28 version so OTA can be checked) and OTA Then relock bootloader and go back S-ON voila standard HTC.
I did it myself with a dutch branded HTC from T-Mobile and made a tutorial in dutch.

can it be done with sprint one too?
If it can be unlocked and S-OFF via revolution I don't see why not. When a RUU is then installed it makes it a standard HTC edition
Won't work on Sprint. The Dev edition is GSM only.

can it do voice over LTE?
Sprint still uses CDMA radios and the Dev edition RUU won't have one.
Also the Sprint phone has a different partition layout than the Dev edition.
The boot partition on GSM phones is the partition number Sprint uses for the radio if I remember correctly

For the sake of simplicity I'll add the Dev edition doesn't support CDMA. Better?
OK no need to treat me like a noob .Did some reading into CDMA and GSM and the sprint version is just different alltogether. The Netherlands/Europe doesn't work like that with different models dor a specific provider.
We have a couple of providers that use the same phone but for example a differnet frequency for GSM 2G 3G 4G etc. CDMA isn't at all available here. or as I understand anywhere outside the US.
So if Sprint uses CDMA I'm afraid it might not work when de Dev edition of the rom hasn't got CDMA support.
You could turn the sprint One into a gsm one it has both radios, just check your gsm needs as it is extremely lacking on how many frequencies it actually has.

its not about the fact that it has both radios. its just the plain simple fact that Sprint uses CDMA for almost all of its phone and data capabilties and the fact that since the HTC ONE/GE only has a GSM version. if you indeed flash an OTA from the GE version it wont have CDMA drivers and therefore you'll basically have a 600 dollar HTC Ipod touch.
I don't live in the US and don't have a Sprint SIM. Now my phone is activated(bought it that way), but if I update it will I be able to activate it without the original SIM?? Is there any way to bypass this? What about custom ROMS will I be able to bypass activation if I flash a custom ROM? Thanks
Did you really start four threads to get an answer to basically the same question? Sheesh.

The SIM is only used for lte. It isn't required for the activation. As far as roms I dont think roms require activation to work.

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying the dual sim version once it's available in my country, but need some advice:
The most important thing to me is the ability to unlock the bootloader and install the newest stock (Google Play) and Cyanogen ROMs, as well as any other kernels and ROMs for One I may like. What concerns me about the dual sim version is that I won't be able to do that, because of the potential different drivers or software modifications needed for the dual sim functionality.
So, can you help me out? Do you know anything about unlocking the bootloader of this device? Do custom kernels and ROMs for the regular One work as expected on the dual sim version?

yes you're right bro ... first of all if you want to unlock the bootloader then its so simple just follow : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273570
also, there is very limited or i can say "No" support for the dual sim version of m7 ... didnt find any custom kernel and there a few custom rom only ...
so my advice is to better go or m7 single sim or look out some other device ...
Thanks for your answer! I was afraid of that, I really like the dual sim and sdcard support.
Any idea if regular One ROMs work at all (mainly the Google Play ROM)? For example if they work fine with sim 1, but just don't recognize sim 2 and/or sdcard? They would still be usable that way...
And what about Cyanogen mod? It's my impression that it's the best one out there, and it's adaptable, so there might be hope...
in china jifeng forum，there r many roms out there for the dual sim card version htc one，aka 802w，one thing i know is that the kernel code has not been releashed， so some functionalities on 802w rom still can be realized e.g. swipe the logo or double tap the awake the phone. that is all i konw
Sent from my HTC 802w using xda app-developers app
That helps a little, but I couldn't find the forum you mentioned. Do you have a link, so I could take a look?
BTW, seeing that you have 802w, how's the battery life?
All thinks in my blog

Thanks! In the end I decided to go with the regular one, and got it a couple of days ago.
Thanks anyway, your answers were helpful, I just got tired of waiting for the dual sim version, it was supposed to arrive at the end of september, but it's still not here...
I would like to revisit the question about running a Custom Rom for the regular HTC One on the Dual SIM version.
Has someone tried this?
My favorite Rom is PACman. It is available for a pretty big amount of devices, including the regular HTC One. I would love to hear this is running on the Dual SIM version.
I would get the Dual SIM version only because of the microSD card slot. Think of this what you want, but though the point for me concerning Custom Roms is, that it wouldn't be a problem to not being able to run a second SIM card, but I want be able to use a microSD card.
I would be very pleased if someone owning the HTC One Dual SIM could try out running PACman on it.
It will be possible to install a GSM ROM HTC One, to avoid having to be changed to GSM mode in Sprint HTC One?
I don't want to brick my device, I wonder what happen if I flash a GSM Stock Rom in this sprint HTC One

Your question is not very clear, but if I understand well you wan't to install a GSM ROM on a Sprint model.
The answer is NO, but there are some ROMs in HTC international forum which have added Sprint support like Viper, Insertcoin, Elegancia, ARHD.
If you flash a non compatible ROM you'll brick your phone, cause you'll mess up the partitions, kernel. In that case it's a pain and you'd have to flash a ruu in order to get it working again

Post above is correct. User however appears to want to use a GSM ROM thinking that it will prevent the annoyance of using the Sprint HTC One on a GSM network requiring that you constantly switch the network mode to GSM/UTMS.
Sorry, don't think it's feasible at this time though.
