Hello,
I recently got the HTC One ATT, The bootloader is unlocked, it is rooted, and I have used revone to get S-Off No problems.
Now I want to install Viper rom from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294
My question is, Do I need to get super CID in order to install the viper rom? The thread doesn't say if it is needed or not
I am mainly going to use viper rom and probably not going to install any other Rom, is it still recommended to get super CID?
What will I be missing out on if i do not get super CID, will viper rom be restricted in any way, will i just not be able to install sprint roms etc.
I read on a different thread that super CID isnt needed to install international roms, but I just want to confirm so I dont have a $500 paperweight.
Cheers,
Nope not needed

Do you have to be on stock ROM to do these things? I just flashed SlimBean 4.2.2 this afternoon
No

You have to use revone to do it.

Its very easy to do. Just use revone's method and go step by step. after thats done you can get super cid too to install whatever you want
S-off is not needed to root or flash new roms so it is not really necessary to do but is worth while for removing the tampered message and a few other things like cid. But the HTC One is pretty open with s-on in that you can install international roms without being s-off. Pretty much any rom is open for you without changing cid.
Hi, I rooted last night.
I'm boot unlocked.
S-ON
TWRP 2.6.3 (updated by Goo Manager)
SU User 1.8.6
Unlock took me down to 4.1.1
I tried to flash the most recent CM ROM in Goo Manager after a dalvik cache wipe and got stuck on boot. Is this likely because I'm S-ON or because I didn't use the right type of wipe?
Also, I know the MikMik ROM was the gold standard for a clean, lean and stable ROM without many bells and whistles on OG EVO. What is the equivalent for LTE/jewel? And so I need S-OFF for it?
Thanks in advance!
You have to flash the kernel separately from the ROM when S-on. Having said that, you don't have to be S-off to flash a ROM, but, as easy as the process is, it's worth it to be S-off. Take a look at the top link in my sig for more info. As for ROM advice, just start flashing until you find what you like. If you ask ten different people what their favorite is, you'll likely get ten different answers

Something equivalent I'd say "MeanBean " read the OP for this rom

Thank you!
Thank you. I was finally starting to understand that I would probably need to S-Off so I could flash the kernel for a ROM other than one that uses a stock kernel. I was just hoping to avoid it, because I usually know just enough to be dangerous to my electronic devices...
I'll be sure to check out Mean Bean.
Mean Bean actually has a kernel installer to make flashing while S-on easier. Just make sure you read the Mean Bean OP so you follow the correct steps to get it installed properly.

so I have an AT&T HTC one, wanted to know, if i root it - will i be able to install any ROM?
because i saw a thread about CONVERTING it to EU version, and i was wondering why and if i must do it in order to root.
so basically:
1. is the rooting on the AT&T HTC one done differently from any other HTC one?
2. if not, do i still have to go through this conversion guide or can i just root it normally?
2. how can i install a stock, clean ROM without all the AT&T rubbish, and have the OTA updates like on any other normal android?
thanks
If you want to install any ROM, basically u need to unlock bootloader, s-off and change cid to supercid and well root the phone.

How to root (with links) is explained on my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, much of the "HTC specific" lingo is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
I would suggest reading up (and making sure you understand all the terms and processes) for at least a couple hours before trying anything on the phone. I do this every time I buy a new device, even having own quite a few HTC phones. In fact, I usually start reading and researching before I have the phone in hand.

also is there a way were i can go back to stock when i need to thanks

If your talking about ROM, then take a full backup of your ROM before flashing custom ROM using titanium/nandroid etc.
Or if your talking about root,
Just unroot using unroot apps from play store or the respected app you get after rooting.

As the above reply stated, it depends on what you are talking about.
If you just want the stock ROM, recovery, etc. one option is to relock the bootloader and just run the RUU. It will return you to stock software. The only thing not "stock" will be the bootloader will say RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. You need s-off to make it say LOCKED again (after unlocking it).

so this is what i want to do i want to unlock bootloader then root which i know how to do but i was woundering would i be able to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/rom-sd-4-0-sense7-port-sdkernel-t3062367
would i be able to install that rom soon as i am done unlocking the bootloader and rooting or would i have extra stuff sorry for the dumb questions

You should be good to go, then. Just unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery and flash the Skydragon ROM you linked.
would i need to be s-off and would i be able to go back stock and relock the bootloader with s-on again sorry for the manny questions i am new to this phone

You can return to stock with a RELOCKED bootloader with s-on.
You do need s-off if you want to make the bootloader say LOCKED as it was from the factory. But the only reason to ever do this is for warranty purposes. And if you bought the phone from AT&T, you should note that your warranty is through AT&T, not HTC. And AT&T doesn't give a crap if the bootloader is unlocked, or whatever (folks have even successfully sent in phones for warranty with custom ROMs on them).
If you are seeing warranty service through HTC (you didn't purchase from AT&T) that is another story. But that is the only reason I'd bother going back to LOCKED.
In normal usage, I recommend leaving the bootloader UNLOCKED as it give you more flexibility to flash ROMs whenever you want, etc. The only reason IMO to relock the bootloader in normal usage is to run the RUU.
S-off is nice have if you want to flash radios, modified hboots, and some other things (you also don't need to relock to RUU with s-off). It certainly doesn't hurt, and some folks like to make the phone as customizable as possible right away. In fact, I did s-off to the phone the second day I had it (although s-off was free back then). But for you, its not strictly "needed" at this time unless you want to do the things mentioned.
so heres the thing again sorry for the manny questions i am just making sure if i do this everything will work so heres the thing the rom i linked if i were to flash it will my at&t sevice work since it would be a different baseband
can you link me the latest twrp recovery for the at&t htc m8 so i can flash once i unlock the boatloader

The baseband isn't determined by the ROM, its determined by flashing a different baseband/radio (which requires s-off).
There are some folks that have had issues on AT&T's LTE network using some custom ROMs. Namely, not receiving or sending voice calls while on LTE. But this seems somewhat random, and not the ROMs fault per se; but probably changes that AT&T is making to their network. The most you can do is flash the Skydragon ROM, and if you have problems, try another ROM or revert to stock.
Make a backup of your stock ROM with TWRP before you flash anything, to be sure you have something to revert to if you have problems. This is good general advice before you flash any custom ROMs, root mods, etc.
I'm using the ROM your linked (Skydragon Sense 7) on AT&T, and it works fine for me.
I recently had a one m9 bought from a friend. Now I want to install some custom roms into it but I wonder if I can install roms from the main one m9 section (for example Android revolution 20) for my one m9 or am I stuck with Sprint based custom roms? the m9 that i have is also rooted and unlocked (not sure if there's recovery) and it's running bad boyz m9 5.0.2 . If I install a new ROM then do I lose my unlock?

Feel free to flash Android Revolution, ViperROM, Insertcoin...usually the developer would mention which phones are compatible with the ROM. Just make sure the version of firmware, which should always be that of Sprint M9, corresponds with the version of ROM you're planning on installing. Your unlock should be fine. Cheers!
I just flashed Android Revolution but I cannot find the root anywhere while the ROM description clearly said that it is rooted. I also tried to flash SuperSU and was successful (i guess?) but when I reboot nothing was there, I still don't have root. I'm on locked BL, S-Off, SuperCID installed. Is there anything im doing wrong?

Try downloading it from the Play Store and let's see what happens. Otherwise flash ViperROM. I flashed Viper after the 6.0 update and it has root.
I had just also flashed MaximusHD today. Also same as ARHD, no root no extra options.... tried installing supersu from play store but didnt work ( i got the message that supersu binary is not installed). I will try to flash viper one m9 tomorrow like you said.
Are you on unlocked bootloader? I suspect that maybe the reason...

I don't think Android Revolution supports sprint, Vipoerone Does, ICE does at certain stages of release, at first it doesn't either, and you also have BadBoyz Rom for sprint
Flashed ViperONE, MaxmimusHD, ARHD. Seriously none has root. rdasante may I know how you installed MM on your sprint M9 and flash viperONE and are you on Unlocked BL?

@spiwar I flashed the ruu that was posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/ota-tomorrow-4-11-t3078397/page27
Then flashed twrp recovery and installed ViperONE. Root was installed automatically. And yes, I'm BL unlocked.
Also, as @Aldo101t said, Android Revolution is not good for our device (Sprint). I thought that was more closer to stock so I'd give it a try. After over an hour installing it booted with no network. Baseband shows unknown, so I'm back to ViperONE. I'm waiting for BadBoyz
