Can I flash Developer Edition ROM to AT&T HTC One? - AT&T HTC One (M7)

I'd like to purchase a Developer Edition HTC One, but I also really want Stealth Black so AT&T is my only option.
Is it possible to flash the Developer Edition ROM and "Google Play Edition" ROMs to the AT&T version or are they different variants?

You have the ability to do both :thumbup: Most of the action happens in the international thread and hopefully these two threads become one.

Thanks!
Is there really any benefit to buying the Developer Edition (or Google Play Edition) then?
AT&T has the same price, plus the option to buy subsidized, etc. (and they have the black version, heh)

Sorry for my noobness, but I noticed a general lack of ROM selection in the AT&T One development thread vs. the unlocked one. Just wanted to confirm that those roms work without issue as well? Shattered the back of my fourth Optimus G and I'm sick of it so I'm just going to bite the bullet and pony up for an off contract One tomorrow. :crying:

By unlocking bootloader, rooting, flashing recovery, s-off, supercid. I was only unlocked and rooted when I first started flashing international roms, but as time went on I did the rest.

I personally believe the "Google Play Editions" are a rip-off. You lose 90% of the functionality (especially with the S4) that the phone was originally intended for. I had the same dilemma when I was in the market for my One. I ended up going with the AT&T black one. Its a great phone (almost futureproof) and the fact that there is the option to go back to Sense from Vanilla sweetens the deal
Hope this helps!

AT&T HTC One
Unlocked
Rooted
TWRP
S-OFF
I ran the Dev Edition RUU (BrightStar US_WWE-1.29.1540.16) or I think its the Dev Edition. on my At&T HTC One, no problems , works good. Only thing is battery life does not seem as good when I was on the RayGlobe rom.

With S-OFF you can do anything. I've gone from stock to GPE to ARHD and back again several times. You can do it all with AT&T (and cheaper with contract).

As others have said, Yes you can install the different ROMs in the AT&T HTC One but it depends on the experience that you want with your phone whether it is Sense or pure Google. I personally like the Sense experience and if there are any features that you want from the Google edition you can probably add it. I like the Zoe camera app but also wanted to try Google's photosphere so I just installed photosphere now I have both.

Locked bootloader!?!

According to Paul O'brien (who from what I understand is a pretty solid source) AT&T has locked down the One's bootloader, like it did with the One X. Apparently that turned out to be a huge mess. Was totally planning on getting this, now I'm strongly reconsidering...

I've been on the One X forums from just about the start, and I'm not sure I would call it a "huge mess". A bootloader unlock method was discovered and posted by an XDA dev a little over 2 weeks after the device was released.
What turned out to be a bit more of a mess, is that root was needed to get the bootloader unlock, and HTC kept patching the existing root exploit with every firmware update.
This is indeed disappointing. But I won't believe it 100% until the phone is actually released, and people try to unlock the bootloader. Even then, the phone will be a popular one, and I have faith that the devs here will crack it.

Really though, the amount of modders who need SOFF to do what they want is like less than 5% of the mod community. Root typically handles most issues. Unlocked bootloader is just that barrier above root.
Though, I'm kind of mad that HTC isn't sticking it to ATT on this and telling them to bugger off. Tmobiles is unlocked...

If I read correctly, someone stated that the cid partition was write protected on the one
So since supercid was how we unlocked the boot loader it may be a bit more difficult on the one

I don't know much about the typical bootloader unlocking methods, but saw this recent article about unlocking newer Qualcomm-based Motorola phones. Not that this method will work on the AT&T One, but hopefully a similar method can be found if none of the current tricks work.

My comment had to do more with informing the previous poster what actually happened on the One X (that he seemed to mostly only know about 2nd hand), rather than speculating on what HTC has done on this upcoming phone. As we know, HTC is a tricky bugger, and I won't even begin to try to guess what security enhancements they have up their sleeve this time around!

You can root, install custom recovery, and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader.
S-off allows some other things, such as modding hboot, and flashing radios. But its not needed for flashing custom ROMs.
you can already unlock the bootloader+root etc..

Aha! gotcha, Well. I tried to order the Dev edition but it got out of stock.. so i have no choice but to get one from ATT and hope for the best : D
Yeah you can flash roms etc..
But who wants to manually flash the kernel every time you want to update a rom?
I would like to just put my rom on my phone and flash it. Simple as that
Regardless this is XDA and i trust the devs here will do something to get AT&T users rooted.
mine will be going back so fast if its not unlockable
Sprint and tmobile versions are unlockable
There is no surprise about ATT locking the boot loader. Why do you think HTC is selling a developer edition that is using ATT bands. They solved it because there are a few of us who root our phones etc. Most people who buy phones don't do any of this XDA stuff
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I see it this way, with the $100 rebate and the HDMI device I am getting from HTC and ATT the one will be pretty much free. I am switching from Sprint which I had originally switched to with hopes of buying the Nexus 4. Since they stopped doing Nexus on CDMA this is my move back. The One will turn into a backup phone and the next Nexus will become my main. If a Nexus doesn't come out in the next 4 months I'll just buy a Nexus 4 for now. I'll just never do OTAs on the One until a root is found or just sell the thing when I get a Nexus.
Btw, who is this Steven Bell guy? Does he have an HTC One from ATT that he tried to unlock?
Im glad i got the dev edition. I canceled ATT pre order day after i ordered. My Dev edition says backorder now but says shipment scheduled Tomorrow the 10th.
Either some lazy people here.. Or trolls.. It only takes an additional few seconds to flash a kernel if you need it. Those few seconds certainly wouldn't keep me from owning this device. This phone looks like it'll have a lot of Dev presence. S-off might not be far off. :victory:
I dont know who Steve bell is (guy paul obrien quoted) And how he would know The ATT is locked since its not out yet. I guess he's credible somewhat if Paul is repeating it.
Hmmm....im really starting to second guess this phone....im confused why att locks down HTC phones but not other android phones like Samsung? Sorry really new to HTC phones....

T-Mobile ROMs

It looks like there aren't any ROMs based on the T-Mobile formware on any of the forums. Are y'all getting the same data speeds on the international ROMs? Is there a tmobile radio to flash?
You should be able to flash any in the HTC One Forum. Our device is the M7 so you should have no issues. Only problems some people have been seeing is from ATT so far with roms that don't have the proper RIl files and this is believed to cause the radio to switch from E, H, and LTE chronically.

thanks, i wasnt sure if our device was M7 or not.
stupid question, but does flashing the roms on the international one forum **** up the radio?
Only if the ROM includes the radio. As far as I know, no one is including radios in their ROM's. I would personally hold off flashing any radio until we get a flashable zip, RUU, or other means to go back to the shipped radio. Some users are having issues with the WWE radio on Tmobile and ATT. Some may think it's just the rill files too.

It's the same thing after you unlock the boot loader and have a custom recovery
The only thing is you have to flash the kernel manually

I mean, the "you can sort of unlock the bootloader but you can't have S-OFF" is obnoxious but it isn't any easier to bring your phone--if anything, the limitations placed on operations done in recovery make it harder to actually brick your phone since the boot and recovery images are normally flashed in fastboot.
But yeah, Nexus phones are much kinder to tinkerers. News at 11.

Yeah, that's what I did too. Only mildly sad to give up wifi calling; I never go over on minutes anyway.
Can't wait until there's T-mo specific roms. I get absolutely crap reception in my apartment and NO reception at work, so i desperately need wifi calling.
What we need is a good all around android dev /Rom chef to dedicate there time to our branded HTC one.
I hope Roms aren't gonna be generic forever leaving us with partially set up Roms/ having to flash radios constantly and whatnot !Never knowing what's compatible and what's not .
If that's the case I foresee a lot of angry people and jtag sales in the future .
I'd give it a month or two before we have a few 2-4 dedicated tmo HTC one roms 100% ready to flash and go just for us only .

International HTC One (M7) roms on our AT&T One?

Just wondering if anyone knows whether we can use the International HTC One roms for our AT&T HTC One....I've noticed they have a lot more active development on their forums compared to ours and a much wider selection of roms too.
I assume it would be the same considering they both have the same internals, including the processor, etc. but I just wanted to make sure if anyone knows / has tried it before I take the chance and brick my phone.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, greatly appreciate it!

So it seems all international ROMs have some issues in regards to the AT&T setup. With Trickdroid, Android revolution, Renovate etc. you can select AT&T during Aroma, but you are left with issues. My main main issues is not able to use the native hotspot function. How do you guys work around this? Do you use other alternatives for the hotspot or do you just install the international setup?
I'm running this on my AT&T One, no issues, hotspot works.

I'm curious as to what happened in my situation. I live in a thriving LTE location where anywhere I go I get full LTE strength. When I first got the device, as stated, I had full LTE signal everywhere I went. After a few days I flashed TrickDroid (and have flashed every update henceforth) and just completely lost my LTE connectivity. I absolutely love TrickDroid, but the best signal I get now is HDSPA+ and I've been searching far and wide to figure out why I have this problem. Other AT&T users that have flashed TrickDroid report no effect on LTE capabilities.

Stock HTC Rom

Would it be possible to flash a stock (original from HTC - for example the 32gb unlocked rom) on a At&t HTC One without rooting?
My company uses Good Enterprise and it won't work on a rooted phone so I'm debating on getting the At&t HTC One (I'm up for an update and can get it for 199) or just get the unlocked version from HTC?
At&t takes FOREVER with updates and I just don't want to deal with that again (possibly wait 5-6 months before At&t releases 4.2.2)
You probably are better off with the international version if you can afford it

You could unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery such as TWRP, flash the Rom of your choice, and unroot it. Unrooting a Rom is easy.

hey sorry to interrupt but how is your htc one so fast?
i live in miami, fl and the most i've gotten on at&t 4G LTE on the ONE is 12mpbs d/l
where on my former iphone 5 it was 25-29mbps loving the phone but not the speed difference.
Has anyone turned their att HTC one into a Dev edition? I'm on arhd but the whole firmware flashing thing has me interested in just going into the Dev edition to be able to just receive OTA updates.

no I do not
alright, because i can't end up with a rooted phone, i'm getting a lil confused
link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
so this is a link to the stock OEM rom which is not rooted. what do i have to do to replace my at&t rom with this? also in the future, how would i go about installing the updates?
again, at the end of the day, Good Enterprises does a quick check to make sure the phone is not rooted, so no matter what i do, the phone cannot be rooted. if i have to root, flash something which results in the phone going back to non-rooted, that's fine, i just want to understand what's needed before i get started
edit:
can't i flash the stock rom which would have come on the unlocked htc one if i had just gotten that instead?

Odds on bootloader unlock?

I'm beginning to lose hope that the bootloader is going to be unlocked. Not because the devs here aren't fantastic - they are undoubtedly incredible. But based on my prior experiences with locked phones, this one seems to be unusually challenging. So what do folks think the odds are at this point?
PS: Forgive me if this belongs in another thread but I figured it's less about the process or the bounty and more about likelihood....

I'm not holding my breath. But it's reasonable that something may be found along the way by accident or by leak..

the odds are exactly 50/50
scientific fact.
lol for real though, I may be going to the HTC One, if the boot loader isn't unlocked in a couple months.
I would prefer a One Max IF you can unlock the bootloader on HTC's site.
I'm already trying to trade my S4 for a Note 2. Little patience I have. Which leads me to my next question... Does anybody know if the Note 2 is a nightmare or have the Dev's got that one figured out?

I owned one before the s4. No problems unlocking bootloader etc on the note 2. Everything was pretty stable as well as far as aosp roms.

How long you going to give it? I'm sure as soon as I trade back they will crack it!

I came from the note 2, development for the note 2 is not as active as the s4 but there is development.

I currently plan on getting the note 3. Not stopping using the gs4, just having the ability to go big when I feel like it. :good:
That and to try to start some projects for it. Always fun to have projects!

Wasn't the HTC DNA blocked from being unlocked after a vzw update? If the one is unlockable then I'd gladly switch.

The odds are the same as finding a way to install a rom on the me7 update

I doubt rooting will ever be gone, but custom recoveries are probably going to be a thing of the past

Well, didn't the guy from Cyanogen Mod make a G+ post a week or two ago, talking about trying to move Cyanogen mod to not requiring root access? https://plus.google.com/100275307499530023476/posts/BDVgeKMWaf4

He did, and from what I got out of it he sees the evolution going that way. It would be nice to have CM without a custom bootloader.

Maybe I'm just a noob but how would that work?
I think it is going to be the only solution going forward. I don't see any of the manufacturers or providers easing back on locking down these devices. If anything they will get tighter.

I am not totally sure, but I felt the CM team was indicating something in the way Google was implementing security and the code that really allows things to be done without the intrusion of root. I am not a developer and likely never would acquire the skills to be more than a guinea pig for them (don't mind) and I learned a lot from folks here especially with my HTC One DE which was a rockin device. I just wished AT&T service was better in my area and I could live with it. Some day I will likely try them again but I just can't do it right now. The big reason I did was to get unlocked phones, but given the sheer lack of LTE for US on the international phones its clear the OEM's are NOT making global phones on LTE today. It could be 10 years before we truly see global LTE phones.
Personalty, It's not about CM to me, I wasn't full access to my phone, if I have HTC I was S-OFF, if this phone I was the boot loader unlock.
Things take time and money, check the bounty, who knows for all I know they have a boot loader unlock and are waiting for it to hit $10G or some other number.
It's hard to say really. But I hope that Verizon still allows their HTC phone to at least get HTC -Dev unlock to allow custom recovery and ROM-Ming, and as for Samsung, if a Dev. edition is the only option, I will buy the phone for at Verizon (whatever one I can sell for the most on Swappa), sell it, make about enough money to buy the Dev. edition at only $200 after selling the device.
Just some ranting, sorry.
