Is the ATT One, locked down like they did to their version of the Galaxy S4 ?
Or can the ATT One, be rooted and flash ROM's and kernels with CWM or TWRM ? I used to have the One X, and that thing sucked for flashing, due to being S-On, and having to use the bootloader and boot.img to flash with Command prompt stuff, etc... really sucked. Would like to have no S-On crap and have to flash through the bootloader,
I just like to reboot to the Recovery only, flash the zip, and be done. Can that be done with the ATT One, or would I need he "Developer Edition" only to do that ?

Thanks, was thinking on possibly getting the ATT One, and hopefully we will get a port of the "Google Edition" ROM shortly after it's release next month ? And would like to flash it through recovery, not having to go through the command prompt and need a boot.img file, and all that crap.

Thanks, so basically, we could turn our ATT One, into a "Google Edition" One with a ported ROM this Summer, and it should be near identical to the real deal G.E. version then ?

Stuffing AOSP apps and removing Sense apps, while still keeping the Sense frameworks, is far from AOSP, the reason the GE is coming out is ppl want the option of pure AOSP on it without any trace of Sense.

Confused
I also am curious if the At&t HTC One bootloader is unlockable through htcdev. I have read conflicting reports about it. can anyone clear it up? I am hoping to unlock the bootloader on my At&t HTC One but I want to know if it's ok to do. I bought my phone two weeks ago and I don't want to brick it.

The S4 will have a bigger dev community simply due to the fact Samsung is a bigger/more popular manufacturer...but theres still plenty of devs for the One from what I've seen.

I found this "The interesting thing is that these instructions work fine only for the international version of HTC One, and if you have the AT&T variant, the official method won’t work, since AT&T didn’t allow that (carriers do that, don’t they?). That’s rather odd and annoying, because the official bootloader unlock worked on the AT&T variant as well until the device actually hit the shelves and AT&T forced HTC to go back to a more closed approach. Of course, there would be other, unofficial unlock methods coming out pretty soon, but until they do, AT&T users are out of luck." on Redmond Pie "How to Unlock HTC One" page. (Can't post link)
I interpreted this as saying that I am out of luck.

Are roms compatible from Dev/Unlocked to the AT&T Version and Visa/versa?
Debating which device to buy. Looks like a lot more roms in the HTC One section Vs The AT&T Section. The hardware looks identical so I was curious if they could be cross flashed.
Thanks in advance.

Excellent, that is what I was thinking/hoping but I wanted to make sure and couldn't find that info anywhere.
The only thing you _won't_ be able to do is install a Developer Edition RUU onto the AT&T model because the RUU checks the device CID and won't install (AT&T = CWS_001 and Dev. Ed. = HTC_001).
But really, there are plenty of CWM/TWRP flashable 'stock' roms, custom roms, and nandroid backups based on the Developer Edition and they all install and function just fine on the AT&T model. There's no CID check when you go that route.

Hi, I'm new to this device, as a matter of fact I don't have it yet, its in the mail....I purchased an HTC ONE Google Edition At&t phone and am going to use it on Straight Talk. I had a HOX+ but couldn't get WiFi tether to work and tried multiple Roms and other advice. Anyway, I was encouraged to get the ONE because there is a lot more development on it. I was wondering if I first UNLOCK the device from its carrier and ROOT it and get S-OFF, could I install an "International" RUU and firmware to get rid of any preconfigured settings to At&t and not COMPLETELY RUIN my device and still have LTE ?

I do wanna root just so I can get rid of this app that's keeping my phone awake. I've read about the sunshine root. Some of the stuff I read is a bit confusing. On the website it says that the update won't require towelroot (is that the right term?) for me to be able to use sunshine. But in here it says that I need to root my device before using it.

You need to slow down, as it seems that you are rushing ahead with very little understanding of what you are doing. I recommend any newcomer (even experienced HTC users) to this phone spend at least a couple hours reading and learning before doing any mods to the phone. If a total n00b to Android, root, etc. then more time should be taken to research and learn. Reading includes the sticky threads, basic guides, and also my Index thread has a lot of information organized: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Sunshine is an s-off method, not root.
If you unlocked the bootloader, all you need to root is flash SU/SuperSU or a rooted ROM. S-off is not required for root.
Backing up the stock ROM, recovery, etc. is not required for the AT&T version, as you can RUU back to stock.
Also, AT&T (directly through them, not HTC) will only void your warranty for physical or water damage; not for mods.

Redpoint is 100% correct. If this all seems foreign to you, or anyone else for that matter, research, research then research some more! Before I do ANYTHING that I haven't done in the past (hell I have flashed many firmwares and it STILL scares me), I do alot of reading and see if its something I really want to do, plus it will help prevent me from coming back and saying "Halp, my phone is a brick now!".

Hey all, was wondering if the m8 has some version of 1 handed mode (like the gs5) either stock or included in Roms.
(Somewhat hard to reach the far end of the screen when I tried a demo model & I text very frequently )
If not, has anyone tried http://www.phonearena.com/news/How... handed mode tried it again and it fits fine.
Also a bit curious about what the deal with having a developer edition to convert to is,
Does this mean that we can get new updates from HTC before att adds in their bloatware?
Or does it mean something else significant?
I read the other thread relating to it but wasn't sure

Yup, that's pretty much spot-on. No bloat or carrier branding. Updates come faster. The DE already had the 4.4.3 OTA rolled out maybe 2 weeks ago or so. AT&T OTA is supposed to be "soon", but who knows when?

Do either cross over? Meaning if u switch to gpe base can I use normal Roms or vice versa?

Good to see you here, too.
Any ROM meant for the GSM version should be compatible (stay away from the CDMA Sprint/Verizon specific ROMs). Although I'd exercise some common-sense caution and check the specific ROM thread to make sure AT&T is supported, or at least confirmed in the thread by AT&T users to work.
If you look at the ViperOne thread in this (AT&T) forum, the download section just links to the "main" thread in the "international/generic" M8 forum anyway. Which then links to the Venom Team download page, where you will see there is just one version for all GSM M8 versions.
GPE can mean one of 2 things, either just flashing a GPE-based custom ROM, or doing a "full conversion" which entails flashing a special RUU. The full conversion changes the partitioning on the device, and the only real advantage is a full GPE "stock" experience, which also means official GPE updates. If you don't care about that, and just want to try out the GPE experience, I'd suggest flashing a GPE-based custom ROM, which does not require changing the partitions.

Just got my device & I love it so far.
The last question I've got at the money is, I've heard some devices can't get bootloader unlocked through normal means , and have pay for the exploit,?
How do you know which version you have? (is it a certain hboot or something
Or do you just have to try the normal exploit & see if it works?

I think its just Verizon that blocks bootloader unlock, and S-off is required to get custom recovery on it. Bootloader unlock is not an issue with the AT&T version though "normal" means (HTCDev.com), regardless of software version, hboot, etc.
S-off is another issue. Firewater works for some older AT&T M8's, but not on newer ones. Its not definite whether its software number, hboot, etc. that determines this. Just try firewater, and if it doesn't work you will have to pay $25 for sunshine if you want s-off.
I have an M8 from AT&T, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and S-Off. Phone is running 4.4.3... the 2.23 sense, I got the update right before they pulled it. I want to go to newer roms,but they all use the 3.28 update, and AT&T hasn't gotten the update yet, but i'm having some major withdraws. I was just asking how to I go about updating? I saw a few posts but I am beyond confused.

Here I go again with an alternative that may be easier.
Being S-OFF is a plus but no mention of Supercid.
Below is super simple and requires the use of your external sdcard

If someone can't handle fastboot commands, they should be flashing firmware at all.
It should be understood that flashing firmware is one of the riskier mods to do; and not to be taken lightly. Unlike flashing a ROM, root, etc., you can actually brick the phone flashing firmware, if you don't fully understand what you are doing.

No need to quote me as I've agreed with you over and over about this very subject in multiple threads my friend. I can remember being new to all this and how intimidating anything to do with adb/fastboot or even the word commands would make me feel.we seem to end up following each other around quit a bit so let's not make it personal man as it do respect you.

I have an M8 from AT&T, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and S-Off. Phone is running 4.4.3... the 2.23 sense, I got the update right before they pulled it. I want to go to newer roms,but they all use the 3.28 update, and AT&T hasn't gotten the update yet, but i'm having some major withdraws. I was just asking how to I go about updating? I saw a few posts but I am beyond confused.

The easiest way to upgrade the firmware is to get supercid and run the 3.28.1540.5 dev ed RUU. Worked like a charm for my AT&T m8
Supercid is not needed, BS_US001 or BS_US002 works fine

Will supercid work as well?

Supercid will work for all cids. It's easier, Bc then you don't have to worry about changing it all the time to do different things. As wonders_never_cease mentioned, it's not necessary, however.
@mattprice86
Thank you for the answer ,I don't recall it mentioned that Supercid would work.
I figure why change it to a specific Cid if I can change it once

I am free to respond or quote others if I choose to (as are you). I was just raising a point, that IMO firmware (as I already explicitly mentioned) is not something to be taken lightly, and not something that should be made "easier". But just my opinion (and no more or less valid an opinion than yours).
There is nothing "personal" in my post directed toward you. Not a single thing that could be construed as a personal attack, insult, disrespectful, etc. If you took it that way, its your own interpretation.
There aren't all that many folks in the AT&T specific forum section willing to contribute help on a consistent basis, as you likely already noticed. The fact that I have responded to you on multiple occasions is merely a matter if that circumstance (just coincidence, really). Believe it or not, I'm not stalking you or anything. I would have responded/quoted you the same way regardless of whether I recognized your nickname or not.
Your contribution is certainly appreciated. I was just throwing in my 2 cents.
