I got Verizon HTC desire 626 from USA. I'm in Sri Lanka. We use only GSM networks. When I try to update phone. It tells you need CDMA network to update this phone. Can I update this phone without CDMA network ? Can you explain how to do it ?

[Q] Is it possible to make your AT&T or Sprint HTC ONE (M7) an International version?
Hi guys,
I have a HTC ONE (M7) which is an unlocked AT&T version, as the update for the the International version is already out and I cant update mine since its the AT&T version. I want to know why does the update differ for all the versions? and also is there any way I could install the International update to the AT&T version?
Thanks.
I believe the difference between the two versions is based on the types of network signals they would be using. Europe doesn't have access to 4g and LTE, while the U.S. does. So the device is built differently to accommodate the networks. So sadly, no way to convert a AT&T One to an international one. Best bet it to simply root it, and flash a custom ROM.

You can unlock the bootloader, flash custom recovery, then flash a custom ROM based on the international ones without any issue whatsoever. If you're looking to update without unlocking/rooting/flashing then yes, you're going to be SOL. The HTC One on Sprint and AT&T support all global frequencies, at least as far as non-LTE goes, so they can operate on any carriers network(GSM phones will not work on CDMA networks, however) as long as they are SIM unlocked. SIM unlocked is different from unlocking the bootloader and you'll either need your carrier to provide you the code or purchase a code from a third-party source. Eventually, there may be a hack to do this on your own but not as of this writing.
Thread here on the variants if you want a look.

First take a look at this thread. Htc one variants explained there.
Difference between htc one at&t (801n) and 801e is the modem chip. 801n support gsm/hspa/lte and 801e doen't support lte (only gsm/hspa)
Yes you can flash a stock rom for 801e on your at&t 801n but you will probably lose lte support. You aslo need s-off to change MID and CID

801n is not only for at&t, its a model code, not a CID
801n models are sold in the usa, canada, europe, midle est and africa for many carriers; At&t, Rogers, T-Mobile, Vergin, Telus, Bell, Google Play Edition, Developer Edition. Its the most common model of htc one.

When he says it unlocked with code given by AT&T he means its SIM unlocked which will allow you to use it with all carriers, not only At&t. The best way to check if this is true, is to test it with another sim card before you buy.

The IMEI# doesn't belong to at&t and isn't carrier specific. IMEI is for International Mobile Equipment Identity. Its a unique # generated by the phone manufacturer. If the phone is reported stolen, or it have unpaid bills, chance is that its IMEI# is black listed and you won't be able to connect to any carrier. So be sure it have a CLEAN IMEI before buying.

If the device still running the at&t software version with at&t CID, then you'll receive ota update from at&t. If you convert your phone to international wwe, or developer edition software then you'll receive ota faster. Converting your phone need s-off, cid change, sometimes hboot downgrade and mid change.
I recently came to US with my HTC ONE M7 (801n), and my sim card is t-mobile USA. My m7 can't find any signal anywhere. I think that's a problem with my old baseband in my home country.
Is there any baseband that can work on t-mobile USA?
Thanks !

XD I'm guessing you're a bit new to buying American phones. What carrier are you using and what ROM are you thinking of flashing? To be safe, only flash the ROMs in the Sprint HTC One Android Development section.
Hi guys,
just found a very interesting post. I try it on my htc 510 VM, an GSM icon shows on the top. But I don't have any GSM sim card on my hand. Someone check it.

Done but GSM still not working after complete that guide. Thanks.
Only CDMA for virgin mobile guys. Give up trying on GSM.. wont work. Only possible way is with a different modem flashed.
