[Q] About to get the One M8, a quick question though, please! - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I am getting an ATT branded but unlocked M8 and I was wondering if I could root it and put on the software that is on the international M8, completely stock so I can get future updates from HTC directly rather than ATT, is that possible? Thanks!

Yes
You will have to change the CID to the model you want OTA from as well as flash its recovery and stock ROM

[Q] Flashing Stock RUU on Unlocked 3UK (H3G__001)

Hey guys. Quick question if anyone can help me.
A friend has a HTC One X from Three UK which he has had carrier unlocked by Three UK themselves. I want to know if I would be able to flash the stock Rom onto this device to debrand it, without having to S-Off.
His CID is H3G__001. I initially assumed he would not be able to without S-Off, but I thought I would check my old HTC Hero which was originally on Three UK and then unlocked in the same manner.
The Hero I managed to debrand by flashing a stock RUU, but the CID on that device is also H3G__001. So I'm thinking, if the CID ends with __001, does that mean a stock RUU can be flashed?
Do any of you know what the CID is for a locked Three UK device?
My friend is looking to sell his HTC One X and I'll only buy it if I can debrand it and have it running the stock firmware.
Currently using a Desire HD and iPhone 4, but getting sick and tired of waiting for the upcoming ICS update. If HTC had said the DHD is not being update, then I would have just got the One X..!
My locked three branded phone has the same CID - I don't beleive you will be able to install a stock ruu on this phone without changing the CID.

You can still put a stock rom on the phone by going down the htc dev route but you can't use an RUU.

[Q] OTA T-Mobile with unlocked / rooted HTC One X

Dear all,
my HTC One X was unlocked with htcdev and the mobile device was rooted. Now I have big problems to pair my HTC with my VW bluetooth device. I would like to install the new OTA which was published some days ago by T-Mobile.
Currently I am using Android 4.03 with HTC Sense 4.0 Software 1.26.111.4
The new OTA is 1.28.111.x. ow can I proceed to get this OTA installed without danger to brick my phone ?! I am novice for Android.
Thanks in advance.

hello mate. what i did was before i rooted my phone was made a backup of my stock rom. that was on 1.26. then i flashed a rom and all was good. my carrier released the OTA so what i did i reverted back to my backup and then did not need to lock bootloader or anything and just flashed the OTA and my phone got updated. then just installed the latest cwm recovery and back on a custom rom
since you do not have a custom rom on i am pretty sure you can update since you have not flashed any roms. if you have the option to update OTA then go for it mate.
but make sure if you have custom recovery to flash back to the stock one. you can get stock recovery.img from this thread here in the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Hey guys quick question I am thinking of getting an unlocked what looks like international version of the one X on ebay, (because of the 32gb and quad core CPU) but I was wondering how does this phone play with tmobile's network. will it access hspa 41 network? or just the hspa 21? any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Q] HTC one M7 Verizon unlocked Update issue

Hi. I have an HTC One M7 unlocked. I am currently using an AT&T sim in it. The problem is I can't seem to upgrade my phone to the new sense 6.0 since it requires the phone to be on CDMA network to update the software which is kind of lame since it's unlocked now. Is there a workaround for this or do I have to install a new rom? Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

I am using an unlocked Verizon HTC One M7 here in the philippines.
I am on android 4.4.3 Stock and whenever I try to update my Unlocked Verizon HTC One M7 through OTA on my phone, it prompts me that I should be in CDMA. How do I turn on and off CDMA mode and can I download the update through wifi?

Need help with OTA

Well, i got my M9 as a christmas present, thinking that it was the unlocked variant, and when i receive it i inmediately start going through all the updates and when i finish, i asked myself, where is the 6.0 update? so i started diggin, and found out that my M9 is the australian variant, with CID OPTUS001, but the weird thing is that it is unlocked. So i ask, does it mean i wont be able to get the updates first? if the answer is no, then what do i have to do to convert my M9 to the international version, so i can get the updates first?
P.S: i already have experience with rooting, S-off, ROMS, etc on my M7 and i have already unlocked the bootloader of my M9

The US dev edition is the one that got the update, you'd have to covert to that to update it now or just wait for your edition to be updated
