[Q] I need help!!!!

I am wanting to download the Google edition of the 4.4.2 kit Kat update for the Sprint HTC One but am having no luck, can someone help me? I need a sense Rom and I don't like the new update Sprint provides. I'm currently on viperrom 3.5.0 because they don't have the newer versions for Sprint. Everything I look for good Roms they say I need TWRP 2.6.3.3 but the Sprint version is only 2.6.3.0. I'm just sad about this I really want the Google edition.

Use the latest version of TWRP,CWM, or PhilzTouch and you should be ok

I don't think that you can run Google edition. That is a GSM version and not CDMA. I would wait to see if someone can confirm that before you hose your phone. Know that they have unbrick directions for those that flash the GSM version on Sprint (which is CDMA).

I actually set my phone to gsm because I have a bad esn and i SIM unlocked my phone, the HTC one is everything compatible

I dont remember how I did all that without relocking my phone. Do I use a computer? I really can't recall and don't know how to replace the twrp

Download the recovery you want
Put the file in your platform tools folder
Open a cmd window from that folder
Type adb reboot bootloader
It should say fastbootusb
Type fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Type fastboot erase cache
Done

I would suggest running an RUU and start fresh

Setting the phone to GSM and owning a GSM phone are two different things. Flashing a GSM rom on the Sprint One WILL NOT WORK

The easiest way to flash twrp is to just download Goo Manager and select install openscript recovery.

HTC One KitKat (o2)

Hi All,
I was looking for help to install KitKat on my HTC One, My HTC one is currently on Android - 4.2.2, HTC Sense 5.5 and software number 4.19.401.8. If i hold the volume down key when turning on i have ***Unlocked*** at the top of the screen but now i am stuck. I understand i need to S-Off my handset the use TWRP 2.6+ to flash the rom to my device. Not sure of the next steps and the guide i have read seem to be very confusing for a an idiot like me.
I am kind of answering my own questions, i am now rooted using TWRP and confirmed this by opening the RootTest app from google. Next stage is Kitkat

What do you want? 100% stock rom on 4.4 or you want to flash a custom 4.4 rom like arhd 51? Please also link the guide you are referring to and post the output of fastboot getvar all minus IMEI/SN

As far as i'm aware, you dont need to s-off your handset (I haven't anyway), but as far as KitKat Roms are concerned, i've just installed Venom One, and its fantastic! as long as you've installed some sort of recovery software on your handset, you should be alright, although i expect someone will be along in a bit to correct me if im wrong.

Great thanks for the responses, i thought i would go for a stock rom so i could see what it looked like and then go from their. The guide i have been using is (http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/) and i am at the point of downloading the rom. I currently have the latest version of TWRP running and kind of have an idea on how to use it. TBH i am not to bothered about the stock so might try the Venom one as advised above. Could you drop a link please.
I have also used TWRP to backup my phone and the backup is listed in the Recovery on TWRP.

Tbh, both of these ROM's are pretty close to stock, but i found the Venom Rom has far more customisability out of the box.

The install went very well and it looks very good. Thanks for your help,

[Q] Rooting Hboot 1.57.0000

Hey guys,
Im new to HTC One. I have Tmobile version running on stock sense 6. I wanted to install a custom stock rom without the Tmobile Bloatware.
I know how to unlock the bootloader using HTC Dev method and install recovery to root. But i am a bit confused about S-Off. I have read that S-off will not work with Hboot 1.57.0000
So my questions are
1. Do i really have to S-off to install custom roms on HTC?
2. If not can i install ROMs for the int. version on my phone ?
3. Does the CID ver/number have anything to do with unlocking and rooting?
Thanks in advance.

1 No
2 Yes
3 No
If any time after install custom Rom you need revert back to Stock Rom for Warranty purposes you need S Off

You can s off with 1.57 if you need to. If Firewater doesn't work sunshine will but it'll cost u $25

Thank you for the reply. I have successfully rooted my stock rom and installed CWM recovery. And i have flashed custom kernel too.
I would now like to flash a 4.4.3 sense custom rom. I have read on some threads that the kernel wont be flashed on S-on devices. So do i have to flash a custom rom always after flashing a custom rom?
And one more thing. I currently have CWM touch recovery. I have seen lot of roms require TWRP. So my question is does the recovery image depend on the HTC variant? I have a Tmobile M7UL

Correct your Q
you don't need always flash custom kernel See requirement of kernel for custom ROM at their post
custom kernel don't need S Off ( it can be flashed with S On and it HELPS GETTING S Off)
S On wont let you flash Lower firmware or kernel then present now. see bootloader screen for that

yes You can flash any firmware same or higher version
TWRP 2.7.1.1 I not tried till but 2.6.3.3/4 is perfect

If only you could root your phone without having to unlock your bootloader so that you could know whether you can S-OFF or not.

Trying to root to get 6.0 very confused please help

Hello everyone,
I run Note 5, but not that it is in the repair I wanted to try and get 6.0 onto my HTC One M7. Problem is I don't know how to root it. What I did before, I had International version of M7 so I rooted it and installed Google Play Edition rom. Obviously since then my root is gone (not sure about recovery), OTA updated it to 5.1 and that's it.
I have tried 1 click root, Kingo Root but none of them would root. How can I go about rooting this device now? Do I need to revert to stock or what?
Now here are my rom details:
Kernel Version 3.4.10-ge0627be
Build number LMY470.H11
Thank you.

There is no android 6.0 for the M7 and the only 6.0 custom roms you'll find for it now are nightly (unstable) builds of Cyagnogenmod 13
For your rooting question, simply flash twrp recovery and then flash update-supersu2.46.zip using twrp and the phone is rooted.

I remember when I got this phone I installed clockwork mod then rooted then installed unrooted GPE rom. Does that mean that my customer recovery is still there untouched or has it been wiped and replaced with stock one?
Also would you be kind enough to point me to where can I find how to replaced Clockwork recovery with TWRP ?
I guess I will wait for some custom 6.0 rom in the future.

If you want to know what recovery is currently installed on the phone, why not simply booting in recovery mode?

Need explanation on flashing instruction

I just need a clarification on flashing custom ROMs. I come from other phones like Samsung that when it comes to flashing ROMs, there is no need to flash boot.img via fastboot afterwards. I understand that it is because a htcdev unlocked phone cannot write to the boot partition from its recovery partition.
Question is that I have flashed CM12.1 (and GAPPS) onto the phone but I have not done the part of flashing boot.img via fastboot. I am still able to boot into system and am now using the phone without any incident. Why is that so?

With the M7 flashing boot.img is possible during the Rom install. Only older HTC devices required boot.img to be flashed separately :good:

Thanks Danny201281. This is the procedure as outlined for flashing CM12.1. Does it matter what is the hboot version?
What ROM do you have on your M7?

Hboot is part of the firmware. Generally it's best to keep to roms based on your current firmware or to update your firmware to match the Rom you wish to use. I think your device was on lollipop firmware after using an RUU in a different thread correct?
If so you should be fine to use any of the latest roms. I'm currently using Android Revolution HD. I've been a long time fan of the Rom. It's kinda close to stock but that keeps things stable and using Sense Toolbox gives me most of the mods I'm looking for.
I'm not a fan of CM roms. There normally very experimental and glitchy. How you find a particular Rom depends very much on what you want from it ?
