Which region/country are you in? What is the version of HBOOT you have on your IncS?

I am in South America, I want to keep the band for 3G UMTS 850, my version is 1.13 hboot

Since you have HBOOT 1.13, just go to http://revolutionary.io and gain S-OFF on your phone and then you can flash any ROM you want. The process of S-OFF and rooting will not change your 3G bands. These are determined by hardware in the phone and nothing you flash can affect these frequencies.

is there any tutorial for this?, having the phone I can get s-off any rom without having to make a GoldCard? and finally after installing the rom, I can again have s-on the phone?, should be able to do OTA updates where s-on?
thanks for your help ...... and forgive so many questions, but do not want to fail in anything.

on the issue of model id, because they have another model debrand rom id and phone number of virgin has another, nothing happens with this situation?

OK, here is a link to the official HTC Gngerbread 2.30.405.1 Unbranded ROM that has been rooted for you. You should be able to flash this from recovery and not have to worry about the modelid error:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168796

ok, I apply this rom the phone, but what about when a new ROM available via OTA detect the phone?, because apparently this is a custom ROM.

It is only custom because it is rooted and the way you flash and install it. It is 100% stock otherwise. You will get the notification that an OTA update is available with this ROM, but if you attempt to update with the OTA it will fail because you have a custom recovery in place.

[Q] hi too many qs about verizon htc one

hi
i bought a verizon htc one and am using it in the simple mobile prepaid network. its on android 4.2.2 with software number 1.10.605.10. since i dont have a verizon sim it wont update to the latest jellybean ota. my questions
1) how should i start off rooting and s off it
i was thinking rumrunner----> change the tampered to unlocked-----> flash recovery twrp-----> flash stock +su
2) in the end i want the stock android 4.4 with sense 5.5 rom, the unlocked version
so should i first flash verizon software 2.10.605.10 ------> update the firmware via fastboot-------> flash the stock 4.4 unlocked edition rom
3)if i flash the verizon 2.10.605.10 will i lose touch control when coming from 1.10.605.10? then how will i be able to get to fastboot to flash firmware? or should i flash the firmware first then the rom?
4) can i flash the android 4.4 sense 5.5 rom for unlocked htc one taken from http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/ . will it work in my phone?. i am not using verizon sim.
5) if i need to return my phone for warranty and need to be back in stock 1.10.605.10. how should i go about it?
is it
change from unlocked to locked ----> flash the ruu as rom.zip ------> change to s-on.
if i follow that method where do i get the 1.10.605.10 rom is it from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248531 ?/
also if i flash the 1.10.605.10 rom, how will i flash the firmware back, since the newest firmware wont work on the old rom?
please do give me a reply. i have been searching the forums for replies and its all confusing.
thanks a lot

I don't know about the verizon variant but here for the international variant you need to be bootloader unlocked and rooted to s-off with rumrunner. Maybe your version of rumrunner are using an exploit that can achieve s-off without unlocking bootloader, idk.
and for the others questions, unfortunately, I'll says just wait for someone else to jump in this thread because im not familiar with the verizon variant.

Data not working (Rogers)

Hello XDA,
I'm on the Rogers network, and ever since I updated to 4.4 KitKat (Stock), my data isn't working. Wondering how I could fix this problem. BTW I have super CID does that make a difference ?
Thanks

No, CID normally only affects update capabilities... but to ensure that doesn't affect your data just turn it back to stock....

out of the box it is S ON but pls don't go S ON... STAY S OFF!!!!! This doesn't affect data or something similar!!!! If you go back s on you'll most likely get a bricked device!!!
Do you get connection to your carriers network? Can you phone and send text messages? is data the only thing not working?
I recommand gettting a unlocked bootloader again... so we can flash a ROM and find out if your error is ROM related...

@LibertyMarine Yes, I am being able to send text messages, and make phone calls. How am I supposed to unlock again and flash ROM ? Before this I was on the Google Play Edition and I switched to Sense 4.4 using Super CID and HBOOT 1.44 and International developer edition RUU

I think you are able to unlock using the unlock_token from HTCdev or since you are s off... this here might help you:
(forget about the s off part.... you would have to be rooted... and to do this you'll lose your data too)
So yes.. you'll lose all data when unlocking with your unlock token from HTCdev...
And then you can install your custom recovery... and copy your rom to your phone and then flash it... try if the connection works... if it doesn't a matching firmware package may help you:

by data I presume you mean data network?
might be dumb question, but have you checked your APNs (settings>mobile data>access point names) to check they are correct for your carrier?

Do you have ltemobile.apn as your APN setting. Try appl1-core APN as well. A quick Google search will tell you the exact syntax

I talked to Rogers again and they wanted to warranty the phone but after I pressed a bit she gave me the APN setting (similar to yours):
rogers-core-appl1.apn
which mostly fixed the problem in that I had data 3G and HSPA but no LTE.
I came back here to report this partial victory and based on your post have now added:
ltemobile.apn
And LTE is restored!
Thanks!

Nice. Hit my thanks button if I have helped!

[Q] How to OTA update ATT M7 with different carrier?

Hi, I have an AT&T HTC One M7 with stock 4.3. I would like to update to 4.4 stock(whatever is the latest version), but I can't do OTA update because I don't have AT&T I am using a pre-paid carrier(AIO/Cricket) that uses their network.
How can I manually update? And if I do, does it completely reset my phone like a custom rom? Thanks.

Ota updates dosent reset the phone.
You can not receive ota update if you are not on the AT&T network unless you flash it manually. Flashing ota manually require S-OFF.
You could also use "close-to-stock" custom roms to get the latest version.
If s-off you can also change your CID/MID numbers and debrand your phone from at&t to the WWE or DevEd version to get future ota updates.

I'm familiar with most of this, I had a friend help me update from 4.1 or 4.2. He downloaded an ATT OTA update and just applied it to my phone somehow, I kept everything.
EDIT: How do I change it to WWE or DevED version, or if I do, does it still reset my phone updating this way?

So I download and install the "RUU Zip M7 UL JB43 SENSE50 MR Cingular US 3.17.502.3-decrypted "
Then install the "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg.zip"
Correct? Also, will this reset my phone or do I keep my numbers/texts/apps/etc.?

No theirs 2 OTA their flash them in order the RUU then 4.4.2 then the Sense 6 .
Yes the RUU will totally wipe the phone. If you sure you didn't loose the preload/data folder you can try just flashing the 3.xx stock recovery then the 4.4.2 otapkg you won't loose data that way

this release of Marshmallow at its current state? Means the rooted state. How could i install the official version? will it lock the device again for SIM?
Please guide me for the scenario.

You will have to manually install the firmware 6.20.651.x twice before using the ruu.exe or you can update OTA if you have stock rom and recovery.

Where did i find the rom? Didn't anybody do the update? HTC says " If your Bootloader or device software has been modified, you may run the risk of damaging your device by installing the RUU."

Someone says "When you try this your mobile may be moved to locked".
That's what i am worried about. And if it is locked again, then how to unlock again?
Didn't find any content about unlocking HTC M8 sprint with marshmallow installed.

Sim Unlocking marshmallow currently requires you to downgrade to kitkat or jellybean and you will need SOFF to do that.
