Few Questions on HTC One Root+recovery - AT&T HTC One (M7)

I am buying a used AT&T HTC One with 1.26.502.12 version on it. I am not new to rooting (have a Nexus 4 and S4 I-337 rooted), but my questions are specific to HTC One since it is the first HTC device I will be owning.
1) I keep seeing the term S-Off... can someone please explain me what it means? Is it same as boot-loader unlocking?
2) I have seen some threads suggesting that the newer updates to HTC One are difficult to root.. Is there something I can do to block these updates when I get the device, so I can quickly root/recovery it? (For Galaxy S4 I-337, I used this method to block the newer updates - is there something similar for HTC One?)
3) I am looking for a good ROM that is closer to the International HTC One experience, minus a lot of HTC bloatware. I am considering Scott's CleanROM.. what other ROM's fall in the "like stock HTC" category? I don't mean to compare ROMs - I am just looking to figure out which is best for me.
Thanks!

[Q] HTC Unlock Bootloader

It looks like HTC has unlocked all Android bootloaders[/URL] from smartphones launched after September 2011. I have just received the Amaze about a week ago.
Unfortunately I can't post the link since I don't have enough posts. But if you go to tmonews you will see the link and information HTC has posted. HTC has on there site :
All HTC Android devices launched after September 2011 are unlockable. The website will be updated accordingly to reflect this in the coming weeks. We continue to work on models launched prior to September 2011, please check back often for the status of older devices.
Please correct me if I am wrong and need more clarification on this feature that HTC is giving us - Am I correct to believe this feature will root your phone. I will take it as yes as this is what I am to gather from reading. So with this root that HTC is allowing - buy question is:
The last time I rooted a phone was believe it or not - the myTouch 3g - the original. So its been a while. I would like a new rom on this new Amaze. There are many out there, but I am not familiar with reliability and there is just so many rome- its confusing. Can someone please tell me which rom would be the way to go for the Amaze 4G. The options I would like would be simple like the wifi hotspot, wifi calling, good memory etc etc....basically the rom that comes with the phone is fine in my book, but it doesn't allow for hot spot due to the cost, and thats basically my biggest problem.
So any help would be appreciated.
Peace

Unlocking your bootloader does not give you root by itself.
You can obtain root but flashing a custom recovery by fastboot (which you should be familiar with coming from another HTC device) then flashing a custom rom from the recovery. However it's important to note that you must unlock your bootloader to fastboot flash anything. Also this device is very much different than the MT3G device. This device is much easier to root (provided you already unlocked your bootloader) but we cannot flash kernels by custom recovery, can't update radios, etc until we get s-off. Regarding S-OFf... doesn't look like it'll happen anytime soom.
Crazy... This phone is awesome. Would think people would be on it like stink on $hit. Wish I could do it.

[Q] is there anything like my old htc's s-on/s-off I need to be aware of?

Hi,
I'm looking into getting a Galaxy S2 at the end of the month when my upgrade comes due.
I'm currently using an HTC Legend, which has been brilliant, especially since I rooted it. One thing I did find was that due to hboot version on the legend it was impossible for me to get "S-OFF" - I originally thought this s-on s-off thing was common to all android phones but having searched all the hits I get are HTC.
What I would like to know is if there is anything similar under a different name on the Galaxy S2 / Samsung phones that I need to be aware of? or is it just a case of rooting it to get full control?
Many thanks guys
insanimal
Its comes with unlocked bootloader(s-off in htc)
Their are many variants like i9100,i9100G,i777,etc
Make sure you get i9100 international then you are able to use every rom here
Brilliant, thanks I didn't realise they meant the same thing.
Also thanks for mentioning the different versions of the hardware! I've just had a look and I guess as I'll be getting it direct from Vodafone UK I should be alright.

Is it just me, or is the development section for this phone a ghost town?

I remember the HTC Evo days. Boy, I spent hours-a-day browsing the development section on XDA to get my flash fix. That carried over with my Samsung Galaxy S2 and then the S3. Now that I'm considering coming back to HTC for a fresher experience, I found myself jaw-dropped at how ghostly the development forums are. I figured this could be a result of the phone being so young; so I went to the GS4 to see if that holds true. Wow... what a difference. Those forums seem busier than hell. And it's only been about a month since it was released as well.
Anyone have any idea why that is? I've been trying to convince myself to get the HTC One. I got over the fact that it lacks a replaceable battery, a MicroSD card, and recently, I got over the fact that the images are just not all that it's hyped up to be. I figured I'd be transitioning to the Moto X Phone when that comes out later in the year, so I might as well put-up with these shortcomings. But not having the development support that I experienced with the earlier HTC devices, and recently with the Samsung devices is just not something I think I can get over.
I am constantly thinking of the word "potential" when referring to this phone. What a shame. HTC had all the tools to flip the market on its feet, but it seems as if they came up short... again.
Check out the non-carrier-specific forum...it's pretty active.
EDIT: HTC didn't come up short, this phone is considered quite a success.
My theory for this specific forum being dead is that T-Mobile's national release of this phone was yesterday (06/05/2013). Before that, it was only available in their "high-volume" locations.
Oh wow. And all of those will work with the Tmo version?
Sent from my badass Samsung Galaxy SIII.
yea all the development is in the international forum. all roms on that forum will work on the tmo htc one and they work very well. i have flashed every sense based rom and most of the aosp roms. definitely not a ghost town over there:good:
Yeah, they should. But as always, continue at your own risk.

As you've noticed by now, there's plenty of developer support for the HTC One. It's all just confined to the general HTC One forums, which makes sense, as the various roms can be used on the AT&T, T-Mobile, and international HTC One's. Most developers don't want to have to maintain 3 or more separate threads for the same thing.
As was pointed out though, if you're looking for T-Mobile wifi calling compatibility, be careful about the ROMs you flash. Since the 4.2.2 OTA for T-Mobile isn't out yet, no 4.2.2 ROM is going to support it. I'd suggest Android Revolution 9.4, or a similar 4.1.2 ROM if WIFI calling is essential to you.
Also, since a Google edition of the phone is going to be coming out in the near future, developer support is likely going to expand even further.
So I think it's safe to say you can put your fears to rest and buy an HTC One. I don't think you'll regret it.
Yea I've been hanging out in the International One forums as almost all their ROMs work for us.
This forum really shouldn't even have a development section since there's not really any specific T-Mo stuff that needs to be done.
Every single ROM in the GSM section will work for T-Mo. There isn't a single one that won't work. The only thing you lose is T-Mo's branded stuff and T-Mo's wifi calling (as they are the only ones who do Wifi calling)/

Thanks you guys so much for your replies. I'm happy to see that the development forums for the One is indeed thriving. I'm more confident in snagging a one over the GS4 now.
Indeed, I don't see a reason as to why even bother with a Tmo specific section.

I was able to dig up an old link for Android Revolution 9.4 but can't find a description or list of features etc for it. Are you positive it has wi-fi calling in it?
I haven't owned an HTC since the OG Nexus One (had all Nexus devices since) so I'm reading up on S-OFF etc before I flash a new ROM. I really want to try out wifi calling though so that's why I'd like to make sure. Thanks in advance!

9.4 definitely has wifi-calling. I'm on 9.3 at the moment and wifi-calling works perfectly for me on T-Mobile. In the installer, just be sure to select T-Mobile as your carrier and it will install all the necessary files for wifi calling.
Also, note that S-Off isn't required to flash this ROM. All you need to do is unlock your device through HTC Dev, located at the HTC Dev site. I'd give you a direct link, but asinine restrictions in place on this forum are preventing that at the moment. Just Google HTC Dev and it will be the first result. You can't miss it.
Anyway, unlike with earlier HTC devices, this unlock method allows you to flash everything you need to update the ROM. Only some of the "black box" partitions like the radio and bootloader aren't flashable when it's unlocked with this method, but to my knowledge, no ROM requires that, and furthermore, the Nexus devices are very similar in that respect.
The only real advantage to S-Off is if you plan on flashing a different carrier's RUU, altering the radio, or changing your CID. Anyway, just something to be aware of.
Good luck.

Sweet, thanks I'll definitely try 9.4 then! Reception in my office all day is terrible so I'm excited to try wi-fi calling.
I think I understand in theory why S-OFF would not be needed. but the nerd in me wants full control with S-OFF.. Also, if I use S-OFF, i can return my phone to bone-stock and keep warranty right? As amazing as the hardware on the HTC One is (I've gotten used to sub-standard hardware with the Nexus line), I'm not 100% sure yet I want to keep it.
Any chance you could educate me on what CID is for? Evidently it may restrict/allow flashing ROMS from certain regions?
Also, I believe I have a basic understanding of what an RUU is, but could you elaborate for me by any chance? I believe it's basically an all i one installer for a full stock ROM?
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but this T-Mo sub forum seems a bit more forgiving than some other areas

It's worth doing to S-OFF. If you do, you'll have the ability to relock the phone and put it back to S-ON with zero indication that you ever messed with it. Also, CIDs are used to restrict ROMs from certain carriers to only be installed on certain devices. It's really only a stock or stock-leak ROM limitation, I don't think a single ROM in either the regular or original development section is CID-locked. Either way, if you are S-OFF, you can change your CID code to whatever you want it to be (the code "111111") is referred to as "SuperCID" because that allows you to in theory run an RUU/OTA from ANY Carrier regardless.
You are correct about what an RUU is. However, each RUU is specific to a build of Android made by the carrier, and so far, I think only the Sprint RUU is out. No one has a T-Mo RUU yet (but you really don't need one, all you have to do is flash the stock rooted ROM from our section here and then unroot from the SU app options).
Enjoy tinkering.

Perfect, thanks for confirming all that. I think I'm ready to get the HTC-noob stink off of me The phone feels so amazing in hand, it's making me look at all these Nexus devices (Nexi?) I have in a bit of a different light.. And once the Google Experience software drops, hopefully I won't miss having a Nexus as my daily driver!
You guys are so awesome. I'm counting down the days until July 1st now when I'll get my hands on my own HTC One. =)

You're going to enjoy the One. It's the first Android phone to have the build quality of an iPhone with specs that beat the pants off it
The only thing that sucks about the One is that because it has such a high pixel density, you will be extremely sensitive and aware of pixels in all your other displays (laptop/desktop/tablet etc).
I own an ASUS Zenbook, which is a 13" ultrabook with a full 1920x1080p display which is retina-levels of dense on such a small screen (I think it's almost 170 pixels per inch). The One? The one is a whopping ~470 pixels per inch. It is stupidly dense and I promise you won't find a single pixel no matter how hard you look.

Is everyone forgetting the AT&T/Telus One X+?

Hi,
So I have been a member of this forum since I had my first HTC phone (the Inspire). Recently (maybe a year or so ago?) I got my HTC One X+ (AT&T) and I was looking forward to custom ROMs since there were numerous problems with them on my Inspire (look at my past posts). I am running Elegancia 5.2.0 which is still based on the 4.1.1 Jellybean. I want to move to a custom ROM with a 4.2.2 base, but the only things I find are international versions of the ROMs. Have developers completely just forgotten the AT&T/ Telus versions of the phone? Why is no one developing ROMs for both versions of the phone anymore? Is there anyone that is working on an updated ROM for the AT&T/ Telus version? I understand that developers are dedicating their time to produce these ROMs, but why has the other version of the phone just become completely forgotten?
Sorry for the rant, but I had to get this off since it has gotten agonizing not being able to run the newest Android OS with a custom ROM since no one produces anything else except international versions. Thanks for reading.
Mindaugas
If on anyone blame it on AT&T. They have not released to us the 4.2.2 update. Devs are always with us and still developing amazing pieces of work... you just have to read to see.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 4
All the problems can pretty much be blamed on the carriers almost exclusively. There are devs who would make a updated rom if they had the source. As for porting international ROMs over, as was common practice for the Inspire 4G and Desire HD, there are apparently hardware issues that come up that devs either can't fix, or just don't want to spend unneeded time trying to get working. (Like LTE)
In short, yell at ATT and/or Google and the manufactures for allowing carriers to hold up updates to fill it with crapware.

Thanks for explaining it to me guys. It just is annoying me to death.
i have also bought a htc one x+ instead htc one x international version (even though both were of same price).. didnt see the development ratio 1st and now i m regretting my purchase...
nothing much to test/play arround only elegancia and venom XL :crying:
Yeah, from what I understand it's got a lot to do with the hardware. Seems very few phones are using the tegras, etc. and as a result very few devs end up with the device...basically, it's just much easier to develop for the more standardized hardware so those are the devices the devs gravitate to. Add on to that very small number of devs that there's no s-off, no 4.2.2 update, etc. and you have your reason.
I was also hoping to have more to play around with on this phone, but unfortunately that seems highly unlikely. As time goes on we'll probably see less development and fewer devs rather than the other way around.

HI all,
I owned multiple windows/android devices....like htc hd2 / sony eression eperia x 10, htc sensation, samsung note, htc onex, sony experia s, htc one, and finally HTC ONE MAX.
I was in every form ,at least finding a store for all htc RUUs /OTA , or official roms /firmwares for sony and samung.
and always getting help regarding anything i ever needed, except for HTC one max.
There is no clear RUU /OTA store. and personally , I didn't find even the shipped RUU for my device. the international version.
i refresh this forum so often everyday, and all i see , is the same outdated threads .
is it so hard to find ruus for the HTC one max? why it is so difficult?
believe me, i respect you all...
but it is really frustrating to own such great device, and all you can get is minimalistic/outdated mods... couple of custom roms, not more than 5 or 6

ring htc and ask them why we don't see ruu. because it's like getting blood from a stone lol.
because of OTA on the device itself they dont see the need to release public restore ruu. as htc practically never fail updates.
i guess that end of day, they know people **** they're devices trying to hack em. so htc can profit by only them restoring it and trying to prove that tampering caused the fault!
Sorry but at this time I don't believe one has been releashed only ruu is the verizon and sprint ruu.

The problem really goes down to the fact that this device is so amazing yet does not have a good level adaptation and marketing.
Moving from HTC One to a MAX i could understand your frustration, one of the BIG reason why the dev activity was slow here were the unavailability of kernel sources and only recently it was available. you would have seen couple of high quality devs working active here to get AOSP out for the device.
on the context of old threads, we are very close to the 4.4.2 update release which kind of makes the devs wait for the update so that they could work on them instead of 4.3.
It is true that the international MAX does not have an RUU available in public, i don't know much on public distribution of RUU's by HTC. I thought RUU's were only for the service centers to restore the phone.
For the international MAX, there has been only one OTA from the stock shipped ROM. The Stock ROM was 1.19.xxx.x and the OTA upgraded it to 1.54.xxx.x which was only minor, but i do appreciate having an repository and that is the reason why i posted a stock ROM.
As for the ROM's, personally i am happy having stock,hanks to Xposed! Viper has quite an awesome collection of tweaks on the ROM.
If you are interested in mod's you could try the mod's from original HTC One forum and afaik it should work.

I was in every form ,at least finding a store for all htc RUUs /OTA , or official roms /firmwares for sony and samung.
and always getting help regarding anything i ever needed, except for HTC one max.
There is no clear RUU /OTA store. and personally , I didn't find even the shipped RUU for my device. the international version.
i refresh this forum so often everyday, and all i see , is the same outdated threads .
is it so hard to find ruus for the HTC one max? why it is so difficult?
believe me, i respect you all...
but it is really frustrating to own such great device, and all you can get is minimalistic/outdated mods... couple of custom roms, not more than 5 or 6

Other than this whiny thread exactly how much work have you put in to contributing to this forum so it will have more content?!?!
Wellll...you could trying learning to do it yourself rather than expecting things to be done here for you....The device has limited development/developers... And soon probably will have even less with the new flagship releasing this month....Good luck in your search for more "updated things".

I love my HTC One MAX... And with Venom ROM... Even better! I had the HTC DNA with a lot of ROM choices.. and still used The Venom ROM. So I don't really need 50 ROMs that are basically Vanilla Android variants.
Current Device : HTC One MAX / Retired HTC Devices: DNA, Rezound, Thunderbolt, Incredible, Eris
I love when people always say lack of development and want 50 copies of the same ROM... Then complain they all look the same. Rule 1 if you aren't going to be happy running the phone completely stock then don't buy it. You don't get a check from work expecting extra mystery money..... Lazy people these days...
