You must be connected to the at&t network to update an at&t M7. Achieve S-off and convert it to a dev edition so you can update it no matter what is your carrier.

is there an easy way to do that?
can you post a link? i haven't had to flash a rom since windows phone. lol

[Q] How do I update to 4.2.2 on unlocked model?

I couldn't find it anywhere on the web with a guide that actually works.
I searched "Update HTC One to 4.2.2" and "How to update HTC One to 4.2.2" and couldn't find a guide that worked...
I'm using the unlocked model that I ordered right from HTC and I did the "Check Updates" thing and it couldn't find any more updates. So I'm stuck on 4.2.2.
I'm not looking to unlock the bootloader or rooting right now, just in case i have to get it replaced.
Can anyone provide helpful insight into my problem?
Only reply with helpful tips... don't troll me.
*bump*!!! Plz help!!!
You either have to unlock the bootloader and flash a 4.2.2 rom, or wait it out until HTC decides to push the update to that model.

Really... i thought that unlocked model got the 4.2.2 update???
Wow not surprising that HTC is the WORST at OTA updates...

USA carriers are the worst for OTA updates, which is why I unlocked my bootloader right away. Then when the international 4.2.2 rom came out, I waited for a bit to see if there was any problems on the AT&T model. There wasn't and I flashed it with no problems. Full LTE and no bloat.

Did you read the OP??
I have the unlocked model, no branding, no bloat, no AT&T, no USA crap.

It's possible that the OTA update has not yet been pushed for your device.... it depends on the CID not just the fact that it is a sim free device.
As far as I'm aware no American Ones have yet received the 4.2.2 update

I did read the OP. The unlock model is still tied down to US carriers; it's not like its international variant.

The updates aren't controlled by AT&T though. AT&T has no control over my device. If I had it on AT&T then I would be waiting for AT&T, but since its a HTC direct, im waiting on HTC to push it to my phone. AT&T has nothing to do with this.

there is NO RUU for 4.2.2, you either have to install 4.2 and wait for update
or flash a 4.2.2 based ROM, like ARHD 12.2

[Q] Unlock Sprint HTC One

Noob question. If I unlock the bootloader of my stock Sprint HTC One currently running Sense 5 and Android 4.3, could I receive an OTA update for Android 4.4 like the unlocked Developer Edition does? Basically is there anything I can do to retain Sense and update to 4.4 ahead of Sprint's schedule? Thanks.

No and no. You don't want to change your CID, it's what people at the international forum do to receive faster updates(debrand), cause if you flash a GSM ROM you'll brick your phone.
All you can do is wait till someone ports it to Sprint(@gruesomewolf has a working ROM), or wait till Sprint releases the official update

[Q] HTC OTA Update rebase hboot?

From my understanding, the new T-Mobile OTA to 4.4 should bring us a new version of hboot and radio.
According to a firmware flashing post in the main HTC One forum, wifi calling is baked into T-Mobile's radio.
Now that I want to go to a 4.4.2 custom ROM, I have two questions.
How do ViperOne and InsertCoin manage to incorporate Wifi calling if the functionality is baked into the radio? Or does this mean they have the new radio and I will get all the optimizations supposedly to come with a new version?
I understand that Hboot version 1.56 is coming with 4.4. I'm currently on 1.55. Does this have any implications on me updating? Should I wait for the OTA update then convert to a custom ROM since technically, if I do it right now, I'm on a different base?
I'm really confused since this is my first HTC phone. My old Sony never was this complicated.
If I said anything wrong could you please explain? Thanks!
Anyone?

I have installed InsertCoin 7.14(KitKat based) on my HTC One with bootloader 1.55 as my One hasn't received the update. No issues there. Sorry I have no idea regarding ur TMobile issue

What is the latest OTA?

Hey guys. I am new to Sprint and new to Htc One HK edition. I have a question though. What is the latest android version?
When I booted the phone it was on 4.4.2 and did some ota and the last one was 4.4.3 I see online that there is 4.4.4 but my phone is not giving it to me. IF 4.4.4 was out for HK edition when was it released?
The latest official Android version is 4.4.4. Software version for the HK M8 is 3.30.654.2. It was released at the end of October.

Is there a way to manually update it to 4.4.4?
Nevermind that^^^ I see I have tp be S-Off or unlocked to manually take the ota. I'm not sure if I will do that yet

You can try the RUU. You can find it in the second link in my sig, towards the bottom of the first post. Follow the directions for the manual installation. If you've unlocked your bootloader you will need to relock it prior to running the RUU.

New HTC M9 - Should I just download marshmellow ruu?

Hi guys, super excited just got an M9, I have been rocking a HTC EVO from Sprint for many years. I loved the phone and the custom rom I had made the phone last.
Anyways, just switched over to tmobile. Just got the phone. Wondering if it makes sense to download the RUU from htc and install marshmellow that way as opposed to hodge podge updates from tmobile? Also figured it would be bloat free.

RUU are the same as if you got it from the Store, bloat and all.
I would take the chance and S-OFF if you can/IF YOU WANT... This update might block S-OFF.
But personally I'm S-OFF and always go for the RUU. OTA tend to be bad downloads sometimes. And you have a fresh Marshmallow experience compared to a Lollipop to Marshmallow update which might carry over issues/bugs.
Thanks for the reply Tachi! So I should definately S off before going either route. Going to install TWRP. Any other recommendations before hand?
I thought if you used the stock htc RUU, that any bloatware from t-mobile would not be on there.

The RUU's are given to HTC after the carriers make their changes to them. Unless you convert to a Dev/European edition.. But then you'll still have some bloatware, just a small handful(<4ish).
Follow the typical S-OFF threads around here.... Other then that be cautious of what you do
