Will the U.S. unlocked version and also the delevoper version work for T-mobile and still get 4g and 4g lte? I'm in Chicago.
If I root the htc one then what benefit does the developer version still have?
Aren't there like 10 threads about this?

I'm new to Android.. coming from iPhone and WP7/8.
I love the HTC one and paid cash for this phone. I hate being controlled by the carrier when it comes to updates.... I know now.. that next time I will buy a unlocked/developer version if available.
My question is this. Being that it is an AT&T version, can i unlock the boot loader (assuming they haven't stopped this yet) and enable receiving my software updates directly from HTC? Just like the Dev phones.
I'm not so interested in "rooting" and loading custom Rom's at this point.. i just want to make sure i get the updates ASAP.. I don't want to wait on AT&T. (I wouldn't mind deleting some of the AT&T crap off the phone though)
I have searched Google and this forum and can not find an answer that is in such simple terms that i understand it lol ... sorry if this is a stupid question.
No.

Why would you buy an att device to use on tmo anyways?

You can unlock the bootloader, you'll need the carrier's help to SIM unlock. Check out the tutorial in the development section.
Unlocking your bootloader has nothing to do with when your phone gets updated.

Also, I don't believe that T-Mobile 4G HSPA or 4G LTE will work on the AT&T version. (But I wonder if the T-Mobile version of the phone will work on AT&T's network?)
If you want to run on T-Mobile US, you need the T-Mobile US version of the phone.
If I buy a HTC one from Google and get the play edition will it work on att network and would I get all the hspa+ and lte on att including their new band 2 and 5 they just realeased ?
Or should I just use HTC one from att
?

Yes, it will work on the AT&T network. It'll work just as any AT&T device.
It is my understanding that only stock Sense roms have the new bands disabled (via a build prop line); so that should work as well.
Plus, you can always flash the AT&T radio if you want to compare the two.

it'll work, i did same here in the states...I had to call att to have them update IMEI in the system to get LTE as my phone was only getting HSPA (that was because there system was still seeing me using iphone4s )
I am still deciding whether I should buy ATT version or T-mobile version but I can not tell how these are different.
Can you guys enlighten me? Can I unlock T-mobile version and use it on ATT 4G as well as LTE? Flashing ROMs based on stocks from both carriers work ok on both of these phones? I have not had HTC since HD2. Thank in advance.

The TMO version will get full speed on both ATT and TMO. The ATT version will not get TMO specific AWS (high speed 4G). However the ATT is available with 64 gb of storage.
I would get the TMO version and unlock it - TMO will do it if you pay full price up front.

I wanted to buy the One M8 unlocked instead of the ATT version.
Does anyone know if the unlocked version will be fully compatible with ATT LTE?
Thank you.
No its not compatible with LTE. It will only work with HSPA+

According to who? This is the first instance I've read of someone saying LTE won't work.
I have 2 units on order from HTC and everything I've read says the unlocked version will work on AT&T LTE.
Here's 2 examples...

Yes, the unlocked version is definitely compatible with AT&T LTE.
If you look at the HTC website you will see in the description that both the Unlocked and Dev's Editions support LTE bands 4 and 17, which are the bands that AT&T uses.

My bad I misunderstood that he might talking about the international unlocked. I apologize!
