Rom compatibility with original GPE - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so, I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted my HTC one M7 GPE (original, not converted). It's still S-ON but I think I can still flash roms right? I want to get the ARHD rom but I don't know if it's only for standard M7s or if it will work with my GPE M7...
Thanks in advance

GPE is m7 or m7_ul?

Sorry, I have been searching for this for an hour straight and I can't find this info anywhere. I keep getting info about how to convert a att,tmo,spr m7 to GPE..
I already did a GPE conversion once with the revone s-off and the RUU, but thats another story
What I want to know is:
Are google play edition HTC Ones m7 or m7ul? And can I just install, for example, an m7att recovery on it and install roms which are for m7att?
Reason why I ask is I am planning on getting one for the unlocked bootloader, but I perfer if I dont have to s-off it for any reason. and I want to run slimbean which has builds for m7_ul, tmo, and att.

[Q] HTC unlock question

If got my HTC one unlocked I am runnig ARHD revolution.
My friend also has an HTC ONE and also wants to unlock it.
The only differents is that my HTC has CID: HTC_001 and was running stock version *.**.401.*
my friends has CID from O2, so his stock version isn't *.**.401.*
Is it possible to flash a custom rom that is based on *.**.401.* on an unlocked htc one witch other version? Or would he have to go S-off for this.
Yes, that's fine. He won't be able to flash a 401 firmware, but any ROM can be flashed with unlocked bootloader.

You don't need S-Off to flash a custom ROM...
But it's not clear what you actually want to do - flash a custom ROM? Get the 4.3 stock ROM?

@pintabit is right, you only need an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery to flash a custom rom. S-OFF is required for some GPE roms only. And some roms require a specific recovery version to be flashed correctly i.e ARHD require at least TWRP 2.6.3.3
Yup...be more specific with your question, and you are more likely to get a solution

[Q] M7 with S-ON & flashing roms

Hey,
i'm going to try some custom roms on my gf's One M7, unfortunately she updated her M7 to Lollipop so i can't make an S-ON (right?!) except sunshine, which is not free. Anyway, i think S-ON is problematic but still ok, but which rom can i flash with S-ON?
Only stock based? Or any aosp based, but not higher Android than 5.0 ? I would like to try SkyDragon (Sense 7) but not sure if i brick the phone
Same s-on but different problem can't return to stock

If the phone is now running a lollipop firmware, you can flash any rom you'd like. S-On doesn't matter.

Even the Lollipop 5.1 (e.g. from M7 GPE) or 6.0 unofficial releases (if they are released/ported for M7)?
How about flashing cutom kernels (They will boot?) ?
Sorry, i'm really noob about possibilities with s-on (some time ago i had htc, but s-off'ed it)

System, boot(kernel), radio and recovery partitions are not secured so you don't need soff to flash a rom, kernel. Radio or recovery, you only need an unlocked bootloader.

Flashing M8 ROM to M7 phone

Can I flash stock M8 ROM on M7 device? If yes, can I use one from official HTC site?
You cannot flash a stock M8 rom on an HTC One M7. You can try, but the result will likely be a softbrick, or even worse if you're S-OFF.
don't do it. You'll brick your phone. M8 uses different hardware than M7 and the Kernel will be looking for that.
