Sprint=CDMA.
T-Mob=GSM. We use the International forums for the most part.

That explains it then. I guess I should head over there. By chance do you know anything about converting T-Mobile htc one to dev edition?

Yup. Grab the proper hboot for your device from rumrunner.us, follow the instructions to flash it, change your CID to SuperCID and run the dev. Ed. RUU. Couldn't be much easier. (Addition: You must be S-Off prior to doing this)
(With that HBOOT you can also change the MID to Dev. Ed. and use the actual Dev. Ed CID too if you wish. That's how I normally do it.)
Dev Ed Info:
CID: BS__001
MID: PN0712000
Good thread on CID/MID inffo and RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
htc1guru.com also has most of the RUU files.
I've converted mine from T-Mobile to INT'L, GPe, Dev and back several times. That HBOOT above is a life-saver.
Good luck!

Not if you're T-Mobile.
They list the different HBOOTs and what device they are for. Not sure it really makes a huge difference, but probably good to stick with what device you have.
Compiled some links (working on my own "guide"):

100 percent personal preference. I *love* the sense 5.5 quick settings tiles, but also really like GPe.
Really tough decision for me on that one. Eventually went with GPE and an xposed-mod to change the default behavior of the tiles. (big fan of Advanced Reboot and Gravitybox xposed-mods)
I've gone back and forth so many times though that I've got it down to a 15 minute process. (Yeah, it's that bad...I can't stop....I need help...)
So I wrote a quick guide. Wanna test it? Let me know if it works/what steps I may be missing:
Prerequisites:
Must be Unlocked (HTCDev)
Must be S-OFF (Rumrunner / revone)
Windows 7 - Using WIndows 8 will mess you up. Don't do it.
(I should probably put the standard disclaimer here, but if they are unlocked and S-Off, well..their warranty is already voided, amirite?)

Run the RUU executable ot (for GPe):
Code:

fastboot flash zip <name of GPe zipfile.zip>
RUU exe will reboot your device, GPe zip will require you to:
Code:

From here, any OTA's should be downloadable/flashable through the OS.

since im already s-off and hboot already flashed, all i have to do is set cid and mid and flash ruu? damn thats easy. if i use the dev edition, will it basically be the same as my stock t-mobile minus the bloat? does it function the same as far as signal and all?

Yeppers. Well, for me anyway. Some folks reported better coverage/bars by flashing the T-Mob radio after, but...meh. Placebo.
Dev edition will actually be one step above your T-Mo edition since they are on 4.4 with Sense 5.5 already if I am not mistaken. I believe the Int'l edition is also on 4.4 and Sense 5.5. (blinkfeed can be disabled and the quick settings tiles can be changed/re-arranged)
Good stuff.

[Q] How to update to ICS on an unbranded phone

Hallo Guys,
I bought an Amaze few days ago, has GB on it and i'd like to update it to ICS. I purchased the phone in Europe (Hungary) as brand new, carrier free (unbranded) & SIM free, actually I use a Vodafone SIM card in it.
I tried to update the phone in the About Phone menu --> Software Updates, but no updates available.
I've reed the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637314
and downloaded this ROM: RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17D C_30.78.550L.15_release. As I got it right I have to rename this to PH85IMG.zip, place on SD card, boot to bootloader and the rest will be done automatically.
I proceed accordingly but the phone sais that the phone type is incorrect. So i didn't got updated my phone.
I've checked lot of posts but didn't find any info regarding unbranded Amaze ICS update. If is it not necessary I don't wanna root the phone, only to got ICS update.
Attached you can find a picture abot my phone's bootloader.
The actually software status is the following:
Android version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense version: 3.0
Software nr: 1.60.707.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.13-g4a1059e
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 21 17:44:59 CST 2012
Baseband version: 1.13.550L.13DC_30.69b.550L.101D
Build nr: 1.60.707.3 CL324941 release-keys
Please help me to have a suitable solution on this problem! Thanks guys!
Your bootloader is the ICS version, so you get where I'm going with this right? Do you know how to use ADB?
Hi. Thanks for your replay. I didn't understand this exactly: "so you get where I'm going with this right?"
I used ADB on my previous phone (HTC Desire), but I'm not an expert, just followed some descriptions in a post.
So it's easy to perform the ICS update with this bootloader? How can I do that?

Nope, it won't be easy, what I'm saying is, your devices bootloader version is the version that you get when you update to ICS. Therefore it's kind of saying your device is already on ICS, but you say it's GB, If you know how to at least browse with cmd to your adb folder, then boot your phone into bootloader, choose the fastboot option, then on your pc and use the command: fastboot getvar cid and let me know what it says, that way I can tell you if we have any kind of files for your device or if you'll have to s-off in order for you to get the ICS software update on your device.
Hi. Many thanks for your kind help! I try to perform your instructions and let you know the result
Until that I made 2 shots about the actual system.

Don't think s-off would be a good idea then. But that's his only option since his carrier doesn't have an update.

What do you know about unlocking your boot loader and rooting?

hallo Guys.
Earlier I done s-off & root on a HTC Desire with Revolutionary. Now I have a HTC Desire HD, here I also did s-off & root with Advanced Ace Hack Kit but after that I was stupid and tried to perform eng s-off (as I remember with one click something) and my phone died (I had a friend in the store and he has taken care on a main borad change as a warranty repair).
Now I bought this Amaze phone for my wife and I don't wanna kill also
Honestly I do not know what this bootloader unlock is because before I do not neeed this process. Some questions regarding those what I do not see clearly:
- I don't know what is this CID HTC_044. Why can I not simply have the OTA update in my phones menu?
- It is dangerous to perform s-off (hope not eng s-off only "normal"), supercid & T-mobile RUU? Besides now this phone is SIM free. If I would perform all these things then after T-Mobile RUU would be the phone still SIM-free?

Because your device does not have an ics update, the only way you can use the T-Mobile ruu is by s-off then supercid, every device had a cid that is written inside of it, T-Mobile cid and your cid are not the same, therefore you cannot use the tmobile file. You have to unlock your boot loader if you intent to modifiy the device in any way. If you read and research a bit, watch some videos and learn your way around this device, it wouldn't be anything complex.

OK, I understand. Then I will research and learn about these procedures. Just 2 short question? If I perform all these with T-Mobile will my phone still SIM free? And (maybe stupid) question, this CID is written as a hardware info in the device? I mean there is no way to change only this and after that just use the phone's update menu for ICS?

Yes,it will still be sim free. No you can't just change the CID, to do this you must first disable the security protecting it.

Hallo Guys,
So far I've done w/ the followings:
1 - unlocked bootloader (w/ HTCDev)
2 - installed custom recovery: clockwork-5.0.2.6-ruby.img (w/ Hasoon2000's Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V3.2)
3- rooted (w/ Hasoon2000's Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V3.2)
Now I'd like to do the S-OFF and before perform this I have here a short question. I've unpacked the ControlBearRelease_ruby_GB_WIN.zip and seen a file: hboot_8x60-lte_1.90.0008_20111101_signedbyaa.nb0
additional to that an info file writed inside
modelid: PH8511000
cidnum: T-MOB010
mainver: 1.43.531.3
hbootpreupdate:12
DelCache:1
DelFat:0
As you know my phone is unbranded & my actual bootloader version is 1.92.0000
So at this point I'm not sure but I think that JuopunutBear S-OFF would "downgrade" my bootloader? Would it be normal, will it not brick my phone?

Once you've accomplished s-off, you can upgrade or downgrade your bootloader without bricking it.

[Q]Jelly Bean on evo 3d ?

Hi,
i have an s-on gsm evo 3d with 4ext recovery installed...Can anyone tell me which jb rom i can flash...n how to do it..Please ! :fingers-crossed:
i tried this but it gets stuck on boot animation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801647)
Did you check here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786578. Also your problem maybe that you are s-on and most aosp roms require you to be s-off with a downgraded bootloader to work properly. I am suprised because you have posted in the tutorial for rearranged s-off and did not follow the guides to obtain s-off. Well, in any event. Obtaining s-off is your first priority if you want to run aosp roms on your device.

Well thanks for answering :highfive:
Also, Which aosp rom will work ?
P.s i posted in that thread coz i was new to xda then..and wanted thanks by helping people :victory:
As well as the s-on problem the rom you linked to will only boot (for me at least) with the usb cable unplugged.. shrugs, also note first boot takes a fair time, 5 minutes or so.
Still No Luck !!! :crying:
Well, now i installed ubuntuz 0.7.2 jb rom...and it got to android is upgrading ...And it is stuck there tried everything !
Don't panic its going to be ok lol. As I have said before aosp roms do not play nice with s-on devices. I will walk you through this. First thing you will need to do is download an ruu file. Now are you unbranded or branded? If branded you will need to download the ruu for the country and carrier you are on. If not then just use the Europe one. Here's a link with a list of ruu files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485. Scroll through that and find the appropriate one for you. If there aren't any ruu exe's just google it to find the one appropriate for you depending on if your branded or not. Use the European one if unbranded. Here's a link to help you with getting back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655832. Okay, if you get to.stock here's a link to gaining s-off. Follow method D. Now I just want to say, a lot of users are apparently having crazy bootloops even with s-off. So my suggestion to you is to flash a sense Rom like cool sense for now until the devs can fix these aosp roms.

AOSP ROM's play fine with s-off devices. Use the hboot 1.4 or ENG hboot 1.04, I run two AOSP ROM's as daily drivers.

[Q] Firmware/Software/radio

I am new to HTC as a whole. And I'm sorry if I'm missing something here. I've been spending my time reading the past couple of days trying to learn about this all.
It is mentioned but I never found a good explanation of CID and how it is relevant to anything that I have control over?
I'm currently running Trickdroid and I don't understand all of this 1.29 talk. From what I'm gathering from reading you can flash the Rom but it will not update things like the radio? Ok, How do I check my firmware/radio? version I am currently running?
Specifically am I reading beginning of dev posts and don't need to worry about this anymore because you wonderful devs have found a way to incorporate all this in just flashing a Rom?
Feeling a little overwhelmed coming from a Samsung device to all of this. So far so good, but confused and any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you in advance.

I am new to HTC as a whole. And I'm sorry if I'm missing something here. I've been spending my time reading the past couple of days trying to learn about this all.
It is mentioned but I never found a good explanation of CID and how it is relevant to anything that I have control over?

Radio aka baseband is almost never included in a ROM.
CID is carrier ID and every phone HTC makes has one. CID is what prevents you from installing say a UK carrier's official RUU on your At&T device.
HTC also utilizes something called SuperCID which is a carrier ID of 111111111 which allows you to install any firmware on your device. The only way at this time to get superCID is to gain S-off which is a security measure that restricts which parts of the phone software you can change.
With the HTC One, HTC changed what you have access to with an unlocked bootloader, previously, even with an unlocked bootloader you couldn't flash a kernel or a radio via recovery, now you can flash insecure kernels and HTC signed (approved) radios.
For flashing purposes, you can ignore the firmware requirements and flash the ROMs in the international section without issues.

Ok. Thank you for that explanation. How do I check what radio/baseband I am currently using? RUU, though it can still not be changed because we have no s_off, what is it? I
Also how do I find out what CID I am?
Thank you again..

Ok would this be considered up to date? Why would I need to lock the bootloader again in order to update the firmware if I can just flash a Rom and it updates it for me?

you are up to date, and there's no need to relock the bootloader and revert to stock for an update UNLESS HTC releases a new HBOOT (the bootloader) and the developers here will let you know if and when that's necessry

One last question as it seems you would know. Is there a thread on the s-off process and how that is coming? Or is that just background dev?
I'm sure it's being worked on by someone.

[Q] Should i need s-off or s-on

should i need s-off to install a international firmware on my at&t one ?
or else i can do it with s-on ?

Yes you need to be s-off in order to install firmware that does not match your CID or MID.

You need s-off if you are going to run a different carriers ruu if you want to run a custom rom from the international forum you can be s-on or s-off

I just went through this process and S-OFF is not enough, you also need to change your MID otherwise OTAs will fail. I will write something up soon on what I did to convert my ATT to International ROM.
Just got my One today, coming from an S-Off One X. Is getting S-Off deemed important on the One?
##Update##
Realized how easy it was to obtain S-Off compared to the HTC One X (which admittedly was pretty easy already) and went ahead and did it anyways
Honestly if you need to ask this type of question do not attempt it, just because its on here doesnt mean its a necessity...htc dev unlock the phone and flash a custom rom and be happy with that for now until youve read read and read some more....

It is possible to convert a Sprint HTC one M9 to a Developer/unlocked version?

Hi to everyone.
I have a HTC one M9 from Sprint with the SIM unlocked, and currently it is working with telcel (a carrier from Mexico) but i want to change the rom to the developer/unlocked rom. It is possible to do this?
As far as i know, that is not possible.

Yes its posible, perform S-OFF, SuperCID and flash any RUU or RUU Developer Edition and you will be done

Does the Sprint version have the same hardware compared to the Developer/Unlocked Edition? All the tutorials I've seen are about converting the AT&T Edition since they share same hardware (eg. GSM)

That is the one million dolars question. I been searching and i have found only tutorials to convert the GSM version, and the problem is that the Sprint version uses CDMA. Im not sure if after install the unlocked/developer rom the 3g and 4g will work fine.

are you S-OFF and SuperCID 111111? its easy man download HTC RUU no branding and flash via
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
reboot download mode and perform
Code:

just need the firmware
then flash recovery and flash any custom rom or kernel from internal version
u will have MM and GSM work fine, not try CDMA yet
ps: for CM base, u need remove 2 first lines assets in update-script for make it flashable

@Lussardi thats a little hard to take. As far as experience has taught me with sprint models, flashing international RUU often leads to bricks. Mind you, i haven't tried that on mine yet so i guess until someone confirms with proof, i am just gonna continue using the MM leak for my daily driver

I have the exact same issue from the original post, I'm following you @Lussardi, but I don't have big skills in this envorionment. I have S-off and struggling a little with CID 11111111 because of drivers (says waiting phone) but I'll solve it, anyway, you don't have to perform a wipe of anything to install RUU (is that a clean firmware install?)? I have the TWRP, is there a way to flash Developers RUU with that recovery? Or the only way to do it is like you mention with fastboot codes?
Thanks
Edited: Finally fixed drivers problem, now my actual CID is 11111111

The thing is that my carrier (telcel) works with GSM, and I'm having troubles with mobile network (Can't navigate through Google maps because of this), I thought that removing Sprint firmware and installing the developers one, I'd be able to work with any frequency and solve that. Am I wrong?
Thanks.

if you have a problem whith DATA only change your SKU ID in your device, TELCEL is same to Claro El Salvador , Google Maps works fine, no need convert your M9 Sprint to Developer Edition.... only chance your SKU ID

Okay, I changed the SKU ID to 21 "HTC_LA_ESN_TELCEL = 21", should I change the radio type too? Actually is at "WORLDPHONE_LTE_BOUND_CDMA = 8", I'm guessing TELCEL should be "GSM_GSM = 6".
Edit: I just turned on mobile data and it no longer shows that ugly GSM icon, now is H+, 3G or 4G
