So, if I were to get an HTC One, it'd be an 801s (m7_ul). Provided that it doesn't ship with the 1.54 HBOOT, I'll be S-OFF'ing it. Since I want to receive OTA updates from the latest stock ROM, atm the Developer Edition, I'll be flashing that.
A few questions:
1) AFAIK the RUU and OTAs contain a radio. Will the radio included in the Developer Edition RUU/OTAs work completely (LTE and all) with the 801s/m7_ul/PN0714000?
2) If not, does the OTA check the radio?
HBOOT 1.54. Eww.
Suggestions on a custom ROM are welcome.

1) There is only one RUU for the bright star developer edition. The LTE should work.
2) I don't think they check the radio, but it may replace it. Just make sure it has its original recovery when completing the ota.

So, if I have the Brightstar radio installed, as the RUU does, LTE should still work, right?
(The OTA's don't like it when you're rooted, I believe.)
(The actual Developer Edition phone doesn't support Optus' LTE bands. Or any Australian bands, for that matter.)

Oh I see. I'm with Vodafone and my plan doesn't include 4G LTE, but HSPA+ works fine.
So I assume the Developer Edition RUU doesn't include the appropriate LTE radios for Australian use. I think if you use the fastboot command fastboot boot recovery.img you could flash an Australian LTE capable radio.
I hope it works for you! Let me know how it goes.

Yeah, that's what I was imagining. It'd work with 3G, except for one band. I'd just have to have access to a computer after an OTA update if I want to use LTE.
Thanks!
I'll update this thread when I eventually do this, which may be in 1 week to 1 month...

Awesome! I hope you won't get the one with a newer HBOOT, which I think isn't very likely because I think know not too may carriers have updated to 4.2.2 yet.
Are you buying yours outright?

I'll probably get mine from Kogan, which seems cheapest reliable retailer atm. Buying outright, so I can take advantage of Virgin's $10 off plans when you BYO, as well as the bonus 1GB data promo.
I sincerely hope I don't get a newer HBOOT. In the case I do, I'll probably go with a custom ROM. Probably ARHD.

I've had a look in the 3.22.1540.1 zip as well as the 1.29.1540.3 OTA, and haven't found any radios. I hope this is a good indicator.

I hope so too! It'll save you some trouble flashing the radios after each ota. Mine updated to 4.3 yesterday so I'm glad.

Nope, Radio isn't checked.
My HTC One has arrived, but unfortunately, it has HBOOT 1.54.
It's a 2.xx.708 from Hong Kong which has MID PN0714000 and CID HTC_622
How sad.
Going the custom ROM path.
I'd like suggestions on what custom ROM any of you guys use. I'd prefer one without third-party apps like file managers, or Flash player.
I'm looking at TrickDroid or Maximus HD.
Hello, probably this has already been asked and answered but I've searching for it and didnt find it.
Well my HTC One is from Vodafone Spain (CID VODAP_304) and it is s-on as it already came with Android 4.2.2 installed. My question is, can I install the stock android 4.3 zips from the Dev edition if I unlock BL?
Thanks in advance.

And do you know if there is any way to install the stock 4.3 ROM from HTC? I mean, an odexed ROM with no changes under-the-hood
I have an unlocked MOTO x and im on 4.4.2?? isnt 4.4.4 out now?
No, the last version is 4.4.3 and if you really need to update (there is no reason to do) first install a retail version firmware for your X model. (If there)
Here's the complete firmware list.

First, the person who answered you should have asked which device you are using (model number), and who your carrier is.
Second, the majority of us here don't recommend that you flash another carrier's firmware to your phone. Many things can go wrong, and if you ever revert back to the correct firmware, you have to use extreme caution to make sure you don't flash an OLDER firmware version to the phone, which can brick it!!! If you choose to flash a different firmware to your phone, do it at your own risk. You could end up with a paperweight.
Third, both the 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 updates are very MINOR updates. It isn't worth bricking just because you aren't patient, simply to (possibly) get another hour or two of battery life or a few small bug fixes.
I highly recommend that you simply be patient. Your carrier WILL release 4.4.4 eventually, and at that time you can simply take the over-the-air update assuming you haven't modified your /system or flashed custom recovery.
the update won't be noticeable to the users. it is bug fixes and a few tweaks. better to wait for 5.0 to come out

Slight correction... that is NOT the complete firmware list.
That site contains a copy of any SBF found or leaked... Sometimes it takes weeks after an OTA is pushed before a leaked SBF of that version is found and posted (think ATT 4.4.2)
They are "leaks" in the fact that they are not meant to be released to the public. As for how they "make it out" to end up on that site, well that is a different discussion that I don't want to get into.
That site is neither owned, operated, nor supported by Motorola.

also if you have had a locked phone PREVIOUSLY but unlocked it later, and you are using a carrier thats not the orginal one, I think that could also factor in as to why you are not getting updates. For example, if you had a moto x for ATT and you unlocked it to use for TMOBILE, you might have a delayed update or in some cases no update at all. Just my 2 cents.

It does not matter that your phone is unlocked. This is totally unrelated to receiving updates. Just FYI, NO ONE with a Moto X has received 4.4.4 yet (except MAYBE soak-testers). Only a handful of carriers are on 4.4.3.
The 4.4.3 upgrade was CANCELLED do to a bug being found, and instead, all the variants that hadn't released 4.4.3 are going to be upgraded STRAIGHT to 4.4.4 (skipping 4.4.3 entirely).
I don't think you understand just how much testing has to go into these upgrades before they are released.
Here is an EXCELLENT article that should explain it for you. The part you are interested in is called "The Big Hold-Up"

Hey guys,
I've decided to buy a M7. Because my money doesnt last, i've to buy a used one
Well, I like custom Roms and want to install one on this device.
But before I buy one, I have still a few questions:
Are there any special versions of the m7 which dont can be unlocked / crom installed?
Can I install a crom only with a by htcdev unlocked boatloader? What I can with s-off, i can't with s-on unlocked boatloader?
Do i get a higher hboot Version with a higher Rom Version? So if I install 4.4.2 OTA i get the newest hboot?
Are there any differences between the hboot versions? Does a Rom runs better with a newer hboot or something like this?
How is the battery drain?
Thanks for your answers

Can't really answer all the questions but I'll answer what I can:
1. Depends where your m7 was from. Tmobile/Verizon/Sprint had some differences. It affected the way I had to root my phone. Flashing roms should be universal depending on the package you use.
2. Not sure what that means with the grammar bit. You need bootloader unlocked to flash a new rom. Most of them come S-on unless you bought an OEM which may have come S-off. You can flash roms with the phone S-on.
3. Higher bootloader versions seems to come from more later models of the HTC One from what it seems.
4. Bootloader versions seem to affect the difficulty level of being able to turn something from S-on to S-off more than anything for the average joe.
5. Battery drain depends on what you do with the phone and how much brightness/volume etc you were having. I play games on my phone now and I need to charge my phone (from about 10-25%) to about 70-85% about 2-3x a day. I play pretty often (rotating between brave frontier and puzzles and dragons and the like). I also don't charge 0-100% to conserve my battery's life. Also, it will depend on how well the previous owner has treated the phone's battery before it arrives in your hands. If they 0-100% it before many times, you can be sure the battery life is not going to be what was advertised.
Take my ansewrs with a grain of salt because I'm not a dev, but I just lurk and tried to learn to tinker with my phone. Hope it helps.

1) Dual sim variant
2) If u unlock the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery and root. Even if S-ON, you can flash Cyanogenmod and all Sense roms. S-OFF is needed for GPE based ROMs
3) Only if you're on a stock unrooted One with a locked bootloader, OTA's will update HBOOT. But, if you're on a custom ROM, you'll need to manually flash the updated firmware, which updates HBOOT.
No, there's not really a difference between HBOOTs. Update them if you wish to. No compulsion
4) Battery drain is lesser on custom kernels than on stock
Okay thanks for your answers.
I read a bit more and I read that its only possible to change the cid with s-off. And the cid is important for RUUs. And for some brandings there arent any RUUs right? So its usefull to get s-off if I have a ****ty branding, otherwise its not usefull for me I think.
I've read there are problems with T-mobile brandings, what are their specials?
And because of the battery, I need for one day around 3h display on at medium brightness. I think I will use the arhd Rom. Is this possible ?

Tmobile is GSM. So, its nowhere as problematic as Verizon or Sprint. Plus, Tmobile hasnt recieved 4.4.3, so its on HBOOT 1.56 or lower. So, there's really no S-OFF problem.
I think you'll easily get upto 4.5 hours on stock kernel. Otherwise, custom kernels are also there which have better optimisation
Great thanks. And whats about the purple camera Problem ?Does it appear on many devices? Are newer devices fixed and havent this problem? And do I have still my guaranty for HW problems (like the purple cam) with a by htcdev unlocked device?

When there's moderate/low light, the camera is unable to pick up that original colour. It gives off a horrible looking purple tint. It appeared on quite a few devices, including mine.
HTC definitely wont fix it if its bootloader unlocked unless you have a developer edition. I RUU'ed the phone before giving mine fr repair. Service was excellent; within 3 days, they gave it perfectly repaired.
Im not sure if all newer models are fixed; if you're lucky, itll be alright
Well, that makes me contemplative..
Is the stock Rom very bad Or its useable?
Especially the battery drain interest me compared to a crom.
Because if I havent any guaranty after flashing a crom and there are such Hardware problems.. I dont know if this is worth.

You always have the option of returning to stock. I had a custom ROM on my phone when i noticed the issue. I RUU'ed the phone back to perfect factory settings. You will also be able to do the same. You can regain manufacturer support if you have hardware issues
No, the stock ROM is pretty good. I used it for 2 months before i rooted. The built in power savers work very well; there isnt a considerable difference between stock and custom ROM
I wouldn't say stock ROMs are bad for battery life. I still think custom ROM + custom kernel (ie elemental or bulletproof) gives much better life
Can i flash directly from 4.4.2 to a 4.4.4 rom or is there something special i have to do? I've never flashed a rom on this phone before.

Go to the Sprint HTC One Development Forum and find a ROM you want to flash. Each ROM's developer should provide instructions on how to flash their ROM. Also, only flash ROM's that are made for your Sprint phone or you are asking for trouble.
I tried flashing revolution on my sprint m7. And it softbricked now its running good. My question is, can i fkash a european rom or should i stick with the sprint roms
