Good day ,
I have a HTC m8 with AT&T branding but carrier unlock. I live in Romania so my question is , can I install a clean stock, ORIGINAL and unbranded rom on it ? If yes can you point me into the right direction please. I want to keep it just like it left the HTC factory and not from AT&T )
Thank you guys

The AT&T branded ROM is "original" (for this variant) and applied by HTC at the factory. AT&T doesn't apply the software, if that is what you are saying.

Hi!
I have a GSM Orange UK HTC Hero updated to the latest FW from Orange. I hear 2.1 release is quite close and HTC will be releasing the general version and after god know how long Orange should come up with a release as well.
I have now unlocked my phone to all networks, and currently using with 3 UK. I was wondering if I upgrade from my Orange ROM to the General one released by HTC, will it work?
Thanks in advance!
how did you unlock your phone pls. ???

Yes it will work fine,... Only issue I can see arising is that you will have to add your apn settings manually, but thats no deal-breaker. ....
.... Do it,.... You have nothing to lose.
use this to teach yourself how to do it,... [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 19/03]
... then pick a ROM from either here,... [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM Links,...
Or here,... Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
I have supplied the Modaco link as they have links to Pre-rooted standard ROMs which may be of use to you also.
I'v had my phone for about 6 weeks now,... Installed the latest Modaco ROM (MCR3.2) on the first day and haven't felt the need to change it yet,... I'm happy to wait for a 100% stable Android 2.1 release.... i.e... MCR4 BABY!!!!!... Cant wait!!!
The phone might not let you put anything other than an Orange Rom on your phone (if it was origionally an orange handset) you would have to use the "goldcard method" to enable you to trick the phone into installing other carriers or generic roms.
I suggest that you just root the device and use a rooted rom, will save all the hassle in trying to switch between official roms, and you don't have to lose any of the functionality.

I have a feeling that orange Rom wont let you use anything other than the orange Rom. I think if you root it you might be able to flash it to the general one, but then again if you have root might as well get a custom one instead.

followed the instructions on the unlockr..strangely enough it told me to downgrade using i think goldcard method but i just downloaded the old RUU from htc and htc sync it.(somehow it downgraded,dun ask me how)..the rest was to follow the steps
You don't need a gold card for the Orange handsets (well I didn't). Just install a new recovery then you can update with any zip file you like.
I would start over at Modaco as there is a thread called "Installing the patched recovery image on your device" in the sticky section.
Hi all,
On the Note 2 they were able to flash 7105 rom, which is a LTE EU rom, on the AT&T version.
Don’t anyone thinks it will be able to do the same thing on the HTC One with the 801n and the AT&T version?
I'm brining this up just because of the updates and the bloat ware.
Thanks,

On the One XL, we've been able to flash ROMs with both European and Asian bases. The ROM base doesn't really matter as long as it's the same phone hardware.
You can as long as they have the same dev name. Easiest way to check is to look at hboot and see the name. Just know that flashing AT&T ROMs/801n ROMs will not unlock any new radio bands.
Hey!
Its been a longtime that I've had a android phone!
I know its a silly question but can somebody let me know if I can flash a T-Mobile ROM on a AT&T HTC One?
I know hardware wise they are same, but just want to make sure.
Also, I know there is nothing as best ROM.
But can anyone suggest me 2 ROM's with minimum issues?
One Stock ROM, other themed ROM.
PS: - I like the HTC Sense

Any gsm(att, tmobile, international) rom should work on your phone. Just make sure, when flashing, select the att files if applicable. Also when flashing, use the kernel that is compatible with you device. So Elemenalx or teamm7 kernel.
I would suggest flashing ROMs from the international HTC one thread because there are a lot more ROMs avaliable. I am picking between insert coin or the viper one rom. Both are stable and on the latest version of sense and Android. Insert coin has a theme if you install the kustomizer. Another rom that is not as stable is the RENOVATE rom. It has a full theme and amazing battery life.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The ATT One and T-Mobile One are NOT the same.
The TMO unit has a different radio chipset to be able to operate on T-Mobiles 1700 / 2100 paired set. The ATT unit does not have these.

As your phone is SIM-unlocked, it shouldn't turn it locked when you flash the new update. At least, it didn't so to my SIM-unlocked AT&T HTC One.
Hi, i just got my first HTC phone [Used - HTC One T-Mobile unlocked - i'm in Africa btw] so i don't know how it was unlocked!
my concern is if i managed to root and install CM, will i lose the unlock ??
how to know my unlock code ??
what if want to return to stock ROM or what if want to update to the upcoming Sense 6 [what ROM should i install International ROM or Tmob] and will i lose the unlock?? is there any possibility i lose the unlock??
find below the software info i found in the phone:
Android = 4.4.2
HTC Sense = 5.5
software # =4.19.531.10
HTC SDK API Level = 5.68
Also if you know any easy way to unlock the screen with other option than the power button i'll love to know it. and the Led indicator don't blink when i got whatsapp msgs too..
Sorry HTC newbie
Regards
So no one knows?? or no one care ??? :-\ -_-
If you root your phone, I don't think you will loose unlock. I also on T-Mobile, but I'm in the States, I'm using Insert Coin Sense 6 Rom. It's international, there is options when installing the Rom for different carriers. Don't use CM recovery! The best one to use is TWRP. There is instructions in the international section of this website on how to go back to stock. There so many roms to choose from, I don't think you will want to go back to stock. Nobody really comes in the T-Mobile section. You're best bet is to check out the international section.
Hi guys,
I need your help please. I bought my htc one m7 a year ago in USA. the phone is at&t branded but internationally unlocked for any SIM card. I went back home to Serbia and phone works fine with my Serbia SIM card but the problem that I'm having is that phone is not updating at all. I still have 4.3 android. In the settings the option is not saying software update but it says at&t software update, just to give you a clearer picture. So I don't know if I need at&t SIM card for it to be able to update the phone or what. Is there some other way to clear my phone like its not bond to any carrier?
Thx

at&t phone can only be updated using ot aupdates if they are connected to the at&t network.
To de-brand your phone you will need to s-off and flash the dev edition ruu.
