Hello everyone,
I'm currently In USA (I've been here for almost a year now.) and I have unlocked my Sprint HTC ONE M7 (Legally) and now I am confused about a few things,
1) Will the multi-carrier roms work on my phone now? I dont like any of the sprint version roms available!
2) Will I be able to install MultiROM on it?
3) Can I use GSM on my phone now? ( I want to switch to AT&T!)
4) Will it work just like a International HTC ONE M7? (As I'll be moving back to my country soon! )
Any help is appreciated!
Thank You!

Unfortunately the answer to these questions is No Sprint HTC one are very different to the International HTC one.
International roms will not work on a Sprint phone as they have a different Partition structure. Also Sprint use CDMA network instead of GSM. So you must stick to Sprint compatible Recovery's Rom's and Ruu's Anything else will soft brick the phone.

Just bought the HTC One from Bell Canada and need to unlock the bootloader and flash TWP and Root. That easy and all, but for the life of me cannot figure out which HTC One I have and which forum to go to. Usually all Canadian devices are AT&T versions but I guess the Canadian version for the HTC One is just the international?

It doesn't matter. ALL GSM (except china) phones are compatible with each other.
This is the right forum.
Hopefully the moderators here on XDA will merge them all soon and we can get on with our lives

The TWRP and CWM found in the AT&T forum is a repost of the ones found here.
you can flash anything from any htc one forum except the sprint forum as they are cdma not gsm
Thanks all, rooted and TWP installed. All I need to figure out is how to get the extended power menu on stock.
There's a mod but I think it requires a deodexed rom. Not sure
yeah i think it does that why I haven't tried it yet. Want to stick with stock for now.
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.

Hi I have rooted and s-off'ed my HTC ONE but I do not know what version of recovery to flash.
There are options for t-mo Verizon sprint ect.... in the htc one toolkit but not for O2.
I am assuming I should install the international version...is this correct?
Also are the roms in this forum all compatible with a UK O2 model or do I need to be looking for something in particular.
Sorry for the Dumbass questions!!
All your assumptions are correct!

to help you out in the future.
International, T-mobile, AT&T, O2 = GSM
Verizon, Sprint = CDMA
Anything international will work for your phone.
Thanks just being ooo-ber careful with my new toy dont want to brick in the first few days
