So say if I Sim unlocked to T-Mobile would l be able to use their roms and not have to worry about updating bootloader to use kit kat. I'm new to Sprint all this changing this and that is too much, I miss just being able to flash everything in recovery.

Hi -
I unlocked my bootloader last night and would like to flash the HTC stock rom to make it look like the non-carrier version. In other words, the same ROM if you were to buy the phone directly from HTC.
How can I go about doing that? I know how to root so that is not an issue.
Thanks.
Flash a stock rooted rom from tue international section

Im on the same boat, I have the Rogers HTC One, can I just simply grab the stock rom from the international HTC One version and flash it without problems?
I installed international rooted odex from ARHD thread on my AT&T phone without any issues. I'm back on stock rooted AT&T for now which I modified a little myself. I personally don't like how LTE on international tells you that you have 1 bar.
I'm sure AT&T modified their rom to show more than 1 just like other phones on AT&T. Everything works and you don't see any difference in reception or data speed though.

Devices are all the same. Just don't flash a ruu or radio

Im sorry why not install a RUU? I was actually thinking to install one of the stock versions of the rom ( I believe they are called RUU?)
It won't work without s-OFF

I believe CID is different on different phones and you won't be able to update that way. Only way is to use a stock rooted rom and flash through recovery.

I don't mean to ask a noob question here, but will there be a flashable ROM of the MJ7 4.3 OS for those of us still on MDK with Loki recovery?
Seems like there are ODIN images, and ways to keep root for those on MI1, but nothing yet for those of us who actually give a **** and have avoided updating and have been waiting patiently for a solution w can use...?

Absolutely. The devs just need time to work on it. Nitro already has an alpha build. Data's broke but it'll get there.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or not but I came across this method through Google. It worked for my Verizon Note 2 with the OTA 4.3 update. I also used Foxfi until the update. With Titanium Backup, I froze the KNOX security and Foxfi works again without asking to contact VZW. Thanks to the Devs who are responsible for this method. I hope it is ok that I shared the link.

I had my phone unrooted and on 4.3, ran the install.bat and it's rooted!
I can confirm as well. Thank you!

Unlocked too?..I heard root is possible, but bootloader unlock is not.

Don't know about unlocking the bootloader. I haven't found anything for that yet.

This method also worked for me, however I had to restore back to stock 4.3 with odin first.
Thanks!
Congrats! You successfully perma locked your bootloader by taking the 4.3 OTA.

For those of us who don't care about the bootloader, your statement is moot.

This is the case for me. I just needed root for Titanium backup primarily.
At least people will know there is a way to root it. Hopefully one of the devs will figure out how to unlock the new boot loader.

I don't think that downgrading is possible without tripping the KNOX security counter. As far as the s4, this root version should root the phone, and I believe that I have read somewhere about a safestrap app thst allows you to flash roms and such.

I have had no success with this method as yet. I run the script, and it seems to run fine, then after it's rebooted, when it says to run SuperSU, and let it update if it asks, the update always fails. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Found a way around it?

Sonofabitch it worked...I bought my Note 2 cash, JUST after it had received the 4.3 update (sigh) I understand about the no bootloader thing, but being able to use Titanium Backup again is awesome
Hi all,
I looked around and it seems to me there is currently no way to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon Note 2 w/ 4.3 Jellybean installed. I have my phone rooted, but I would really like to install CM. Do any of you know if we're getting closer to a method to unlock the bootloader? Is there already one? Will we never get one? Just an update is all I'm looking for. Really appreciate all answers. Thanks a lot!

Actually, that downgrades your phone to a version that still has the unlockable bootloader, it doesn't unlock the 4.3 bootloader. Granted, that the end point is essentially the same, it is a different methodology.
My actual bootloader version is I605VRALJB (4.11). I unlocked long ago with Adams original method...pre Casual...lol. So being able to go back to the 4.12 bootloader would be a good thing for people stuck on 4.3 and locked bootloader. It would allow the flashing of ROMs and custom recovery...the end goal...as you mentioned, but ...true it is not a 4.3 bootloader unlock....lol

Check it out, they can do it and what a great job they do. I just got mine back from then and it was on 4.3 OTA with locked bootloader. Now I'm on 4.1.2 and unlocked bootloader. Just flashed kitkat and TWRP . Josh will treat you right.
