Hi
I bought an at&t htc one (m7) mobile from the us
i managed to unlock it with a code. My issue is that the current software is android 4.1.2, Sense 5 and the mobile cannot find the updates (guess because I am outside of the US)
What should i do to get the update
can I download the latest software from the internet and do a flash recovery? or should I flash it with earlier updates first?
Is there an easier way to update?
Can you please explain how to do flash recovery?
Many thanks

You will only get OTA if you are on ATT. To get the update if you are not on att you will have to flash the ruu or root and flash one of the zips.
since you are outside US i would recommend you to flash an international stock rom on to your phone. If you manage to install a stock rom with its stock recovery you can get automatic OTA updates and be running the latest sense 6. but it depends on how much you know and how much you are willing to read and learn.. what i would do
1. s-off
2. supercid
3. modelid: PN0710000
and then install the [SYSTEM DUMP][07.06.2014] HTC One *STOCK* ROM | 5.11.401.10 | KitKat 4.4.2 | HTC Sense 6.0

You will have an international stock phone.

Thank you all for the replies
I sent it with a friend back to the us because I could not find simple step by step instructions
My friend made the update using the AT&T software update option
However, he did not get the sense 6 or the newest Android version
Does he need to do it several times?
Many thanks
How do I deodex my phone or do I even need to, to install a rom/theme? I mean I've been trying to install the Dragon rom by Team Var and my phone won't go past the htc Powered by android screen. Also is there a rom for Boost Mobile HTC Desire 510 phones or kernel for lollipop? Also I'd like to know if I need to re-lock my boot loader?
Hello, I have been searching for a rooting method that will work for At&t's Desire 626. I quite like the stock ROM and would enjoy backup security and debloating the ROM. Sadly, no root method I've tried has been successful. I've attempted iRoot app and program, Kingo Root app and program, King Root app, Towel Root app, and Towel Pie Root app.
Any clue?
If you have the 626s - here is a way to root it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63128990
EDIT: NM looks like that worked! At&t desire 626 bought today. SuperSU installed.
So that procedure works for a regular 626 (not the "s" version) from AT&T? Good to know...
Correct. Non-s version from At&t.
doesnt' work
I followed everything step by step and Super SU tells me I have to update the binaries but it doesn't work. Anyone know where I can get the updated binaries to manually install it?
Hmm - so if you tap on the notification, it doesn't update the binaries automatically? Never had that issue...
Does Superuser actually work? If so, and the notification only comes up after a reboot, I probably wouldn't even worry about it...
The super Su app works but none other app recognizes that I have root access, like bloatware removers. I followed every step.
Any ideas?
What exact phone (626, 626s, etc), carrier and Android version?
Plain 626, AT&T Android 5.1
In this same thread they said it would work
Did you use the Supersu zip linked to in the detailed step-by-step procedure post? I know that people had issues with the supersu .zip posted in another thread...
Other than that, I'm not sure - maybe try to flash supersu again?

I have yet to see any warning about SuperSU needing updating. I just confirmed that I can remove any bloatware, edit build.prop, etc.
I can absolutely confirm that I have Cyanogen Recovery booting too, as Im staring at it now.
Maybe I got an older variant of this phone? The store said it was their last one.
Is there anything I can check to verify that this is the same model?
Which version of Android are you running on your 626? 4.x or 5.x?
5.1, hardware info says "desire 626" not 626s or anything else.
I'm wondering if he used the wrong SuperSU .zip file... Someone else had the same issue and after using the correct SuperSU .zip file (the one posted in the detailed step-by-step rooting thread), he was fine...
Let's wait and get confirmation from the user above as to which SuperSU .zip file he used - hopefully, that's the issue.
I also have an HTC Desire 626 (Android 5.1) and can't root it. I know pretty much nothing about this process and didn't even know you could do it until recently. But I need to have it rooted so I can recover deleted SMS messages. Any instructions for a phone dummy?

yes I have htc626x a32_ul android 4.4 model. I tried many ways to root the device. bootloader is already unlocked. king root app gives temporary root that lasts for about 1 minute. there is no any 626x thread at xda developer.

I rooted my device successfully using http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/help/step-step-root-procedure-htc-desire-t3264727 this procedure
So, firstly, this is my first time ever posting here, in fact I just registered 5 minutes ago.
I recently bought a HTC Desire 626g Dual Sim (NOT 626g+) and I'm getting very tired of android 4.4 and am very interested in either rooting or getting a custom ROM on my phone.
The problem is that I haven't found any reliable way to root my phone or any custom ROMs for my particular make and model.
Second problem is that I have never rooted or flashed a custom ROM onto an android device before, even though this is my third android phone.
So that's it, I'm interested in either rooting or getting a custom ROM, but I don't know where to even begin this endeavour. So if anyone can help me or even point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Phone specs:
Android 4.4.2
Android security path level (if this is of any help): 2015-11-01
HTC Sense version 5.3
Kernel version 3.4.67
If there is anything else I need to provide in order to recieve some help, please let me know.
Thanks

Hey man if you are simply looking to root try KingRoot, it worked on my friends HTC Desire 626. Dont think its available in PlayStore so just go to their web and download the apk file.

You would probably need to unlock your bootloader and pay sunshine $30 to make your device s-off so you can change your make and model (cid #) to a HTC desire 626s. Flash one of T-Mobile or Sprint RUU and update your software firmware.
I never had an s-off device so be cautious and do research before you blame me for a bricked device.
Looking for the Verizon Android 6 image download. I would like to have a copy to be able to restore the phone in case something goes wrong. I did do a NANDROID backup from TWRP right after the phone was rooted.
The phone has been rooted with the sunshine app. Have not found any roms for the Verizon HTC Desire 626 (A32E) variant.
