I'm about to receive a Sprint M8 but I'm kind of confused about S-Off... So let's say I S-Off the phone and I want to put a ROM that's made for the Verizon One M8 and that's not for the Sprint Version. Can I do that? Or will it brick the phone?
I hope you guys can understand what I'm trying to say, thanks!
You can flash any rom as long as it has Sprint support.
Your best bet would be to stay in the Sprint section just to be safe.
Alright thank you

With HBOOT 1.13 you can go straight to the http://Revolutionary.io and gain true S-OFF on your phone. Read the documentation carefully and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
Hi
Firstly welcome to xda
You're in a good position, as your hboot version is able to be s offed without downgrading
You can go straight to revolutionary.io and s off from there.
Here is the link to the video tutorial I used back in the day
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
Make sure you're using the correct files for our device because in the video they use a HTC sensation (same procedure)
S off is better than htcdev because it allows you more permissions to flash things like radios and kernels easily
Good luck, if you have questions them Google is your friend, if Google doesn't know then ask here

When have you received the incs OTA update from Bell? Me and all the people I know, who have got Bell INCS phones, have yet to receive this update from Bell.

The OP didn't received the OTA. He was asking how to root his current ROM.
If you really want the ICS ROM for your Bell IncS, HTC has released the ICS RUU on the HTCDEV.com/devcenter/downloads site. There you will find a NAM/Canadian version that you can use to upgrade.
Thanks tplblake, but I already knew this. It's just that, I have reread the op post, and see that I had misread his post. I was reading "has" while the op had written "hasnt". I gueas that the missing quote in "hasnt", got me confused.

No you cannot (but you already found that out, didn't you?).

Woah, I came here to find out what was going on with ICS and it looks like this was posted a month ago! :good:
I take it this wouldn't have bell's bloatware also?
It's the Canadian rom without the Bell bloatware. If you need part or all the Bell bloatware, it is available on the playstore.
I updated my Bell IncS to the RUU listed on the HTCdev website and it is great. Superuser also works perfectly to give you root access.

Hey guys I'm planning on buying an HTC one and I had a few questions about the GE version.
1. Where is the development? I can't find any recoveries or anything about the GE version.
2. Will sense roms be able to flash or since the bootloader is different that will cause incompatibility?
3. Do you think the resale value worse than say the AT&T version?
1. I don't understand that question.
2. Yes you can flash Sense ROMs.
3. I do not foresee things.

There is no official dev yet.
Sent from my HTC One
there isn't anyone witha shipped phone yet, and I seriously doubt many people on XDA would buy one. There's no reason to, the phone is identical hardware wise to the AT&T phone, software will leak for it, software always leaks.
Someone with an S-off phone can install the leaked RUU when it surfaces and convert their phone to the Google edition.
Thanks for the answers guys. I went ahead and bought a sense version.
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

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.

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
