Hello,
I'm thinking of buying the dual sim version once it's available in my country, but need some advice:
The most important thing to me is the ability to unlock the bootloader and install the newest stock (Google Play) and Cyanogen ROMs, as well as any other kernels and ROMs for One I may like. What concerns me about the dual sim version is that I won't be able to do that, because of the potential different drivers or software modifications needed for the dual sim functionality.
So, can you help me out? Do you know anything about unlocking the bootloader of this device? Do custom kernels and ROMs for the regular One work as expected on the dual sim version?

yes you're right bro ... first of all if you want to unlock the bootloader then its so simple just follow : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273570
also, there is very limited or i can say "No" support for the dual sim version of m7 ... didnt find any custom kernel and there a few custom rom only ...
so my advice is to better go or m7 single sim or look out some other device ...
Thanks for your answer! I was afraid of that, I really like the dual sim and sdcard support.
Any idea if regular One ROMs work at all (mainly the Google Play ROM)? For example if they work fine with sim 1, but just don't recognize sim 2 and/or sdcard? They would still be usable that way...
And what about Cyanogen mod? It's my impression that it's the best one out there, and it's adaptable, so there might be hope...
in china jifeng forum，there r many roms out there for the dual sim card version htc one，aka 802w，one thing i know is that the kernel code has not been releashed， so some functionalities on 802w rom still can be realized e.g. swipe the logo or double tap the awake the phone. that is all i konw
Sent from my HTC 802w using xda app-developers app
That helps a little, but I couldn't find the forum you mentioned. Do you have a link, so I could take a look?
BTW, seeing that you have 802w, how's the battery life?

Thanks! In the end I decided to go with the regular one, and got it a couple of days ago.
Thanks anyway, your answers were helpful, I just got tired of waiting for the dual sim version, it was supposed to arrive at the end of september, but it's still not here...
I would like to revisit the question about running a Custom Rom for the regular HTC One on the Dual SIM version.
Has someone tried this?
My favorite Rom is PACman. It is available for a pretty big amount of devices, including the regular HTC One. I would love to hear this is running on the Dual SIM version.
I would get the Dual SIM version only because of the microSD card slot. Think of this what you want, but though the point for me concerning Custom Roms is, that it wouldn't be a problem to not being able to run a second SIM card, but I want be able to use a microSD card.
I would be very pleased if someone owning the HTC One Dual SIM could try out running PACman on it.

Buy a single sim, dual sim has no good development going on. Get a single sim International or Developer Edition, you won't regret it
any idea for dual sim version ?
I still have evo 3d and bought One few weeks ago. On evo I had only one update and on One 3 updates in few days and waiting for Kit kat in January. And development comunity for One with sense is great, so I would recomend any single SIM version. Dual SIM is not nearly as supported as single SIM
op, go for 802w, wont regret it, also are some rom's aviabile
I see a lot of different version of the HTC ONE, and by a "mistake?" they are all blended in the same sub-forum here at XDA, really confusing...
Some of the ONE models are allready on official android 4.4 apparently...?!?
I don´t see anything on what to expect for us with the dual sim version of the phone thoug...
Do any of you have any information about any kitkat updates for the dual sim phone ?
Can you please support with custom Rom for HTC m7c dug dual SIM higher than android 5 ?
Hello everyone,
I have installed LineageOS 14.1 on HTC Desire 626G+ Dual Sim, but I am unable to use both sims properly.
If anyone can make/has a full backup of stock kitkat of the HTC Desire 626G+ Dual Sim Indian variant, please make it and send it to me with instruction.s.
Please do, its really important.
Thank You.
EDIT :- Also, if anyone knows any custom rom in which Dual Sim is working as properly as it would work on stock, then please inform.
