New HTC One user. Just two requests.

Hello there
I ordered a 32GB HTC One which is coming in about an hour and since I had a HTC One X before, I know that installing ROMs and such isn't as easy as it is on my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I am pretty sure the CID of my HTC One is going to be HTC__J15 like the One X (since that's for the whole Middle East) and so I was wondering what the latest JellyBean is for my device? Is it 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? And speaking of which, I found this website posted on this forum:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/49-m7/
But unfortunately I don't understand that codes affiliated with regions and such and any help would be much appreciated.
The phone I ordered is slightly used, only for 4 days, and with local warranty but I would like to install (or re-install if there's no newer JellyBean) the software so I can set it up as a new phone, and I am guessing that's done using the RUU, correct? And if so, which one should I use? I would like to completely format the device and set it up from the start.
And one final thing, would someone be able to link me to an easy rooting guide? And do I get the unlock token using HTC's developer section of the website and use fastboot like I did with HTC One X?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your time.

First of all I would just do a factory reset, assuming it is a factory default rom, and then leave it for a week or two to get used to it before going down the route of unlocking etc. Read through the One forums to learn all you can before customising.
There is a good guide here for unlocking, rooting, etc manually http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
A useful All-in-One toolkit to guide you through the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Look through the One Android Development forum and you will find several custom Roms available which would be suitable for the International Version of the One http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2119
You will need a custom rom as once rooted and unlocked you won't be able to use an RUU nor will you be able to get HTC or carrier OTA updates.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am going to use the phone as it is for a while and see how things work out. I would really like to install the bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a capacitive button because I am not liking the idea of the two buttons - I am just too used to having three.

The One is as easy to root and ROM as any other device. You DO NOT need to be concerned with the CID or RUU if you download Mikes stock 4.2.2 ROM. Its dead stock (with the option to root) and works without needing to change the CID or flash an RUU

Yeah I have used Android Revolution HD on several devices before and it is the perfect ROM. I already unlocked the bootloader and am in the process of installing recovery as well as downloading and installing ARHD. I was able to locate the Bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a menu button and it seems like the installation is done from recovery, very simple, is that really the case or is there more to it?

Its easy to flash the kernel but beware as these kernels are not based on the newest or even second newest source so it will decrease performance slightly when you compare apples to apples

HTC One Rogers 4.3 ROM?

Hey all!
I'm a new poster to the forums, but I've been lurking since 2010 with my Xperia X10 (rooted) as my first phone, moving onto the Acer Liquid MT (rooted, was a pain to do so however) and then to the HTC One.
I recently rooted my One. The issue I have at this moment however, is that now that the OTA for 4.3 including Sense 5 is available, I cannot install it, due to the rooted and unlocked BL on the phone. I do know how to relock the BL using fastboot, but I cannot find the appropriate RUU for the Rogers 4.1 ROM.
There are a few things I'm going to be asking for here, just out of curiousity.
First, does anyone have the Rogers RUU for the HTC One? I went onto the dev site, and unfortunately, there is no RUU file found
However, I did find the CRCs for both Rogers versions.
Secondly, lets say I just flash the Developer Edition ROM onto my Canadian device, will I still be able to use the carrier I am with (Rogers)?
Thirdly, if anyone knows of a Google Play Edition ROM for the One that has functional Zoe features, that'd probably solve all of my current minute post-rooting woes.
Much thanks!
m0nte:fingers-crossed:

Alright, well, the RUU for the Dev Edition is being downloaded as we speak, so if anyone would be able to give me some insight to my queries, that'd be swell. Either way, time for science!

[Q] Flashing to international version

Hi guys
Please excuse my question, I HAVE searched and HAVE read a plethora of threads before I posted this... If this a duplicate I APOLOGISE profusely!
I bought a HTC One last night and have spent some time playing with it. Sadly I am still on 4.2 with Sense 5.0. I contacted my local carrier (Vodacom South Africa) to ask when the 4.3 update will be coming and the response I got was "we have no news yet".
I don't find that response acceptable so I'd like to get myself to 4.3. I do not mind losing OTA capabilities and was wondering if I would be able to flash my phone to a stock international version of 4.3 with Sense 5.5?
I've seen OTA downloads available as well but I do not believe my CID would match, so I guess this wouldn't work while I am still on my carriers official firmware.
I have no issue unlocking the boot loader and rooting, I just wanted to ask if this is possible / advisable?
Many thanks guys!

Yes it should be possible, you need to
unlock bootloader
root
s-off
change cid to international (i.e HTC__001)
change mid to international (i.e PN0711000)
run the ruu of international version
uptade to 4.3 via ota
re-unlock bootloader if needed
re-root if needed
what are your current CID and MID?
Code:
fastboot getvar all

In short: yes it is totally possible, I'll add it to my guide whenever i get a chance, but in the meantime you can check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532705
and adjust to your needs!

Hi guys.
Many thanks for the replies
It seems I may have gotten myself into some trouble though... I've been following the steps to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and I seem to be in a situation where I have unlocked the bootloader, I have a recovery installed (TWRP) but I have no operating system on the device... and no ROM copied to the internal SD CARD on the phone.
I cant access the file system through Windows and I appear to be stuck
Busy Googling to try and find a solution, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

one of these methods:
1) OTG cable
2) adb push
3) adb sideload

Does your internal SDCard show 0MB for size inside TWRP?
If it shows size then go to TWRP > Advanced > ADB sideload, plug the phone in the computer, download a ROM, and then type adb sideload romname.zip
These are not exact steps but you get the idea..

Thanks a lot for the responses, you guys are great!!!
I have flashed the Android Revolution ROM and am very happy so far

I need help with my Sprint HTC One. Real help.

Hey guys. Well I have an HTC One from Sprint and I wanted to sim unlock it. I didn't know that with android 4.4 kitkat it is impossible (so I've heard on diferrent places) and can't get a prompt for the unlock code when I insert a diferrent sim card other than Sprint. Turns out I needed to root my HTC One to downgrade the android version. I rooted my phone and flashed a 4.2 version on my phone but now I don't have touchscreen functions. I got pissed because everywhere I look for help the instructions are not clear or there is no step-by-step assistance, only a bunch of people saying "go to this site and do this and then download this and blah blah", when I follow the links I just get outdated info with more links to outdated info. So right now I just want my HTC One unrooted but with an android 4.1 or 4.2 stock version but I can't find any accurate, info for dummies. Can anyone help me? I'm kinda desperate by now. If you need any software info about my phone, kernel, radios or things like that just let me know. I'm so tired of searching with no luck that I just want some help step by step like a newborn baby. Thanks in advance!!

Maybe u should try to flash some ROMs like Viper, it will activate ur phone automatically. My sprint htc one is running Viper5.0, and i am using Chinese carrier SIM. The phone works quite well.

between 4.2 and 4.3 the touch firmware changred you need to have 4.3 or above to use touch and your recovery has to be the latest for the m7wls(sprint)example:TWRP 2.6.3.0 I would advise installing a 4.3 rom, if you want to downgrade your firmware to 4.1 you'll have to use an RUU OF THAST VERSION but you need to be s-off to do so.

I forgot to mention that the ROM I flashed was ViperBoy's Sprint HTC One 1.29.651.10 stock Odexed. I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 flashed as well. I am S-On right know.
The reason why I want a ROM below version 4.3 is to be able to unlock my sim with the unlock code. With 4.4 I can't make that happen because there is no prompt for entering the unlock code.

Firmware updates and flashfire

Google just listed an article on my feed about FlashFire. Whether it be old already or not, I am curious about whether it will help me.
I have been having some trouble installing different roms for my sprint HTC ONE M8. I want to try ViperOne but I get stuck at the bootloader every time. I am running lollipop 5.0.2, and I would like to update to Marshmallow. I feel that it may help with flashing the newer MM versions of roms.
Has anyone tested flashfire on the sprint variant of the M8? I have briefly skimmed a few threads, but they were for other devices.
Do you still need to find your own stock recovery with flashfire? And the stock rom?
Thanks

Me too...
Just a 'me too'.
I failed installing the very long (7 months) awaited Android 6 on my rooted HTC M8s. I asked for help at HTC, as I understood I needed to restore the original recovery, which I did not have. HTC stated that the only way to go would be using FlashFire, at my own risk... So I delved into that, it sounded very promising, I installed it, and then I ran into a warning about HTC...
So now what?
Does FlashFire work on HTC? Has anyone already used it there (for this purpose)? On which models? Did you have S-off (almost nobody I guess)?
Please share your experiences!
