[Q] HTC M7 upgrade to sense 6 - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I few days ago i bought an HTC M7 ATT unlocked phone to work in Costa Rica, it really work very nice but has the android version 4.1.2, sense 5 and software version 1.26.502.12. As you all can undestand i want sense 6 but i just migrate from IOS and im new in android. I have been reading how to do it manually but im not clear at all, in fact i downloaded an image in HTC1guru called: OTA_M7_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.10-4.19.401.11_release_372404wj19h95c0x6oa19n.zip
but Im not sure if i can use a OTA version from Europe or Asia here in America.
As i can see once i have the correct OTA version its not a big deal to upgrade to sense 6 but its my firts time and i want to do it right.
In the procedure to do the upgrade there is a point complicated for me: Make sure to have the stock Recovery installed. You can usually just pull this from the OTA file itself and flash via: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ?? Could you please explain me that??
if anyone of you could explain me o recommend something better i really would appreciated.
Thanks in advance:good:

[Q] Flashing to international version

Hi guys
Please excuse my question, I HAVE searched and HAVE read a plethora of threads before I posted this... If this a duplicate I APOLOGISE profusely!
I bought a HTC One last night and have spent some time playing with it. Sadly I am still on 4.2 with Sense 5.0. I contacted my local carrier (Vodacom South Africa) to ask when the 4.3 update will be coming and the response I got was "we have no news yet".
I don't find that response acceptable so I'd like to get myself to 4.3. I do not mind losing OTA capabilities and was wondering if I would be able to flash my phone to a stock international version of 4.3 with Sense 5.5?
I've seen OTA downloads available as well but I do not believe my CID would match, so I guess this wouldn't work while I am still on my carriers official firmware.
I have no issue unlocking the boot loader and rooting, I just wanted to ask if this is possible / advisable?
Many thanks guys!

Yes it should be possible, you need to
unlock bootloader
root
s-off
change cid to international (i.e HTC__001)
change mid to international (i.e PN0711000)
run the ruu of international version
uptade to 4.3 via ota
re-unlock bootloader if needed
re-root if needed
what are your current CID and MID?
Code:
fastboot getvar all

Hi guys.
Many thanks for the replies
It seems I may have gotten myself into some trouble though... I've been following the steps to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and I seem to be in a situation where I have unlocked the bootloader, I have a recovery installed (TWRP) but I have no operating system on the device... and no ROM copied to the internal SD CARD on the phone.
I cant access the file system through Windows and I appear to be stuck
Busy Googling to try and find a solution, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

one of these methods:
1) OTG cable
2) adb push
3) adb sideload
Does your internal SDCard show 0MB for size inside TWRP?
If it shows size then go to TWRP > Advanced > ADB sideload, plug the phone in the computer, download a ROM, and then type adb sideload romname.zip
These are not exact steps but you get the idea..
Thanks a lot for the responses, you guys are great!!!
I have flashed the Android Revolution ROM and am very happy so far

[Q] Upgrade 4.3 to 4.4.2

Hi all,
I am new here and just started to learn a bit about android.
I have an AT&T HTC One M7 that I bought in US. I bought it with version 4.1.2 on it.
I upgraded it to 4.3 sense 5 (I don't exactly remember how...).
Now I'm out of US and want to upgrade it to 4.4.2 sense 6 (build 5.12.502.2) and don't know how to do it.
When I'm trying to do it via the software update i'm getting the message "No update is available...".
Can you please tell me what should I do? What file should I use?
Tnx very much

at&t phones must be connect to the at&t network to receive ota updates.
you could upgrade to 4.4 (sense 5.5) using the 4.18.502.7 ruu and then flash the ota update manually (flashing the update manually require s-off)

or you could flash any 4.4.2 sense 6 roms

OK, what is "HTCOne-32GB-ATT-5.12.502.2-TWRP-stock-unrooted" version file (~1.2 GB) and what is "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg" file (~670 MB)?
What is the difference between these two and when should I use each one of them?
When you told me that "I can flash any 4.4.2 rom..." - what type of file you mean?

First one is a stock sense 6 Rom zip(full Rom).
Second is a ota for you but then you need s-off ( only s-off your phone when you need it. You don't)
There are several threads where you basically can learn how everything works. There is a beginner thread in the general section. In simple words: unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery (cwm/twrp) and then you can flash any android 4.4.2 Rom.
But first of all I strongly recommend you to read all the "beginner's flash/unlock guides". Don't do something if you don't know the consequences. You could brick your phone and it is just usable as doorstopper.
I recommend you using a HTC one m7 toolkit. Step by step you will learn how to do something.
And you don't need s-off.

Thanks Phillip.
Where can I get the exact instructions how to install each one of these files?

If you've got any further questions, just ask.
I recommend you to use a toolkit for boot loader unlock and flashing a recovery because that's the simplest way. And the rom: there is no the ONE ROM but I can recommend you insertcoin (now 3.0.5) and maximus 42.0

[Q] at&t htc one update from outside the US

Hi
I bought an at&t htc one (m7) mobile from the us
i managed to unlock it with a code. My issue is that the current software is android 4.1.2, Sense 5 and the mobile cannot find the updates (guess because I am outside of the US)
What should i do to get the update
can I download the latest software from the internet and do a flash recovery? or should I flash it with earlier updates first?
Is there an easier way to update?
Can you please explain how to do flash recovery?
Many thanks

You will only get OTA if you are on ATT. To get the update if you are not on att you will have to flash the ruu or root and flash one of the zips.
since you are outside US i would recommend you to flash an international stock rom on to your phone. If you manage to install a stock rom with its stock recovery you can get automatic OTA updates and be running the latest sense 6. but it depends on how much you know and how much you are willing to read and learn.. what i would do
1. s-off
2. supercid
3. modelid: PN0710000
and then install the [SYSTEM DUMP][07.06.2014] HTC One *STOCK* ROM | 5.11.401.10 | KitKat 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6.0

Thank you all for the replies
I sent it with a friend back to the us because I could not find simple step by step instructions
My friend made the update using the AT&T software update option
However, he did not get the sense 6 or the newest Android version
Does he need to do it several times?
Many thanks

Need Android Nougat Update

Hi!
I saw that the HTC Desire 10 Pro users in the US and Europe are getting Android Nougat OTA update to their devices.
I'm in Asia and my CID is HTC__060 so I can't even flash European RUU without S-off, and there's no way to get S-Off yet.
Can anyone who got the update please make a Nandroid backup from TWRP 3.1 and share the .img files or extract a ROM.
My device is A56DJ_PRO_DUGL
Thanks in advance
