You did see that they gave XDA (this subforum, no less) credit, right?
In other words, we've got five on it.

We do not know anything for certain currently.
The fact as it currently stands, it could be like the Droid DNA (unlockable before release, locked after carrier release), or it could actually be unlockable after release. Confirmation on unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. will not come until after the phone is officially released through AT&T on the 19th.
The world is not going to end if it is not unlockable for the AT&T one, I am sure someone will find an exploit. I understand that HTC is hurting, and wants money, but it just doesn't make sense to have a developer version that basically only supports AT&T customers, if the AT&T one can be unlocked.
Sit back, relax and wait until the 19th. I know the suspense sucks, but trust me, we all will manage.

Its about a 99% chance they will kill htcdev for it on launch day. They have done the exact same thing for the one x, and the DNA. Unlockable......until launch day. This is at&t and you KNOW they won't let htcdev unlock them after the release.

The one x was never unlockable at HTCdev that i know of. I had one of the early ones that walmart was selling (before official release) and it couldnt be unlocked. (not without changing CID) The ATT One X+ which came after the One X is unlockable at HTCdev, still is to this day. Why would ATT allow the One X+ to be unlocked and not the One? I say the signs look good. Cant compare to DNA, different carrier. 18th may be right, he normally is. bottom line is we wont know till after launch. I do have a couple questions..99% is a pretty definitive. where do you get those numbers? and why do you think the ATT X+ is unlockable?
Sorry if I seemed misleading. 99% was based on facts that were created in my personal opinion I really have no more information than anybody else. I don't understand why the x+ is unlockable when HTC is STILL investing in keeping the one x locked up.
I can only speculate that the x+ was knowingly released at a terrible time market wise, and there was no real reason for people to pay or use a upgrade to get the device so it was left as a possible incentive to pull in owners of the one x and other devices. again, I really have no clue and don't mean to offer any information that is incorrect or misleading

Yeah thats good news I thought you had some insider information. The X+ was definitely released at a bad time, development sucks because of it. Some nice improvements over the X but not worth paying full price. I like the ONE so much i'm buying 2 at full price if i can. Have the dev edition coming and will buy an ATT if i can get it early. ATT did an early upgrade for the x+ so i doubt they will do it again so soon.

1. Is the Rezound worth $275 with some minor cosmetic nicks?
2. Is it completely rootable, s-off, unlockable, and SuperCID?
3. Is the development for the device satisfactory?
1. Off contract, probably worth it.
2. Rootable and unlockable. No s-off, yet. S/B coming soon though.
3. Developers have done an excellent job so far. Still waiting for kernel source and an official OTA for ICS.

I'm a former Motorola fan, and I have to say-definitely. The screen finally doesn't use PenTile. Even the GNexus uses Pentile. It ruins your smartphone screen. Plus this device being HTC, it doesn't have the Motorola charging bug where the screeen jumps around. That bug has been in all Moto phones since the OG Droid-poor shielding or something. It's very snappy and has good dev support as well.
I am really thinking about getting this phone over the S4 but not sure if the Devs will support this phone or the S4. This will be my first HTC phone.

Yup, and I really don't remember many devs leaving the One X to go to the SG3. Maybe a couple, but we still have many of the same awesome devs we had at the start, and then more that came on later. Possibly due to the price of the device dropping over time, and getting into the hands of more devs.
Will a more popular device have more devs and more ROMs? Sure. But as long as you have "enough" development, who really cares about the actual number of ROMs?
The performance specs of the 2 phones are very similar, but the One is obviously the better piece of hardware from an exterior "industrial design" standpoint. The SGS4 is just a rehash of Sammy's cheap plastic casing design. Devs aren't going to ignore that.
This is a flagship phone and it's coming out on multiple carriers.
You can bet there's going to be support. It's not like one of HTC's throwaway phones like the Rezound or the Sensation.

I would expect development for the One to be better than the already-great development for the One XL, because my understanding is that the international One and the LTE One are identical - at least development-wise as opposed to the One X, which had a community split between the Tegra 3-based One X and the S4-based One XL. It's also a really good sign that a couple of kernel sources for the HTC One are already available as-of last night.
The only real question is whether or not the AT&T HTC One will be rootable/bootloader unlockable.

Yeah I asked Torxx in the Trickdroid thread about this and he said that his rom should flash on this phone. I've also read that there's virtually no difference between any of the One's except for network bands supported for different carriers/regions which has no effect on rom flashability. Just enter in your correct APN for your carrier and away u go
I believe there will have support very soon

LOL, I agree. First off I just got my DNA Wednesday (for free) and It shipped with 2.04 and I haven't received any update notification as to this moment. Second - I have avoided Big Red for the last 6 years and things like this make me wonder if this was a "good move" for me. However I will admit that the Droid DNA is one of the best android devices if not the best they offer this phone a bad-azz no doubt about it. I like HTC and I think they would or could care less if you boot, root or pollute your phone that's why they offer the unlock codes but they have been doing a terrible job marketing their products so when the #1 cellphone provider in America say's NO, they will certainly comply.
I just got one as well in the free deal and it came with v2.04. It has been asking me to update to v2.06 though.
There is a new way to root with S-off, it is done and getting ready for release for all to do if so desired. serious, any day.

Should be able to check in the bootloader. It's right up at the top below where it tells you either S-on/S-off.
Used the promotional coupon from Verizon and got my free DNA this past Friday. It had 2.04 out of the box. About 3 minutes after I powered it on I received the notification to install 2.06 which does nothing but fix some kind of sim card problems people were having. I did not do my research before upgrading to this phone and had no idea that rooting was not an option at the moment or that may have been a deal breaker. I came from the rezound and had it rooted the enitire time I had it. Sux not having a rooted phone after having one for so long. Almost feels like right now I'm in demo mode or something. Hopefully that moonshine method comes out soon cuz I'm in root withdrawal.

I had the Nexus 4 and liked the pure android experience. I am in a dilemma right now on whether or not to sell my ATT HTC One. I'm thinking that since the HTC One Nexus version won't have anything over it, like Sense, that it would run alot more snappier and quicker. Also I would be getting all the updates from Google pretty quickly. The only that holding me back is the hefty price tag. Is anyone else out there also thinking about switching over to the Google Edition of the HTC One? Do you guys think its worth the switch and the hassle I would have to go through, i.e. selling the phone, limited amounts of the phone, delays, etc.? Thanks

What I will tell you is that you probably won't get the selling points that sold the HTC one.
Example: boomsound and blink feed.
HTC One X (Tegra 3)
ROM: Viper X 3.6.1
KERNEL: Viper X stock
CID: HTC_001
NETWORK: O2 UK
If you are willing to root your device I'm 99.9% sure you'll be able to flash the stock Android the nexus version comes with it. So to me there really is no reason to get rid the the ATT One and getting the nexus One

Supposedly some people are speculating that if we get S-off (which we will) well be able to change out CID (and whatever else) so that we'll be able to receive those updates straight from Google. It just wouldn't be worth the hassle to sell your ATT One and then get the Nexus version.

Just remember that the 'nexus' HTC one and the galaxy S4 have very little of their own features due to the lack of HTC Sense of Samsung touchwiz.

Unless you don't want to be bothered with installing ROMS yourself when they come out, there's no reason to switch to the Google Phone. THEY ARE THE SAME DEVICE...
HTC may allow existing HTC One owners to replace Sense with stock Android.
http://bgr.com/2013/05/31/htc-one-stock-android-rom/
Lets simplify this, the ATT Variant is the exact same as the International Dev Variant, which is the exact same as the Google Edition....ATT has an unlocked BL check, ATT can flash international version roms check, the only thing that differs is the CID, if S-OFF and Super-CID get released, you can change the CID to match the Google Edition and boom you have your updates straight from google while having saved 400+ dollars...Also even if you cant change the CID, once and update from google gets pushed, usually within an hr a dev has a TWRP/CWM version available to flash on our device.
Why we keep getting stupid questions like the title of this thread? Its the same exact phone you're on XDA why wouldn't we have a flashable ROM?

So to turn AT&T HTC One into Developer Edition or Nexus Edition and have working OTA (when it released later this month), all we need is
1. S-OFF the phone and change CID
3. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.com
2. Flash to either Developer Edition or Nexus Edition rom?
AM I missing a step or two?

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

That is great news! I've been obsessing about this phone for months so at this point you could tell me it sprouted ears and a tail and I'd be ready to believe you lol. Sorry if this is asking too many questions -but I'm a woman and need details- did those employees state that the phone would hit shelves that day or just be ready for pre-order? Any word of a press announcement happening a day in advance or day of? If they are launching it Thursday and not making a big deal of it I want to make sure I'm there bright and early (or on the website) to get one! Any word of it being in red? Feeeeeed my HTC One hungerrrrrrrr :laugh:

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

By the time you pay it off HTC will have released a new flagship phone and the One will be left 2 generations behind in the Android world.

No, you have to hand it in... It's not really a consumer friendly thing. Just makes it look like it. T-Mobile are the only ones doing it right. With Edge you pay installments for you device and still have to pay the Verizon plan pricing setup to be profitable when handing out subsidized phones.
But back to topic, our phones are not that inferior to the HTC One. Actually only the CPU is older. Barely. Other then the sexy aluminium body and smaller screen, the phones are very similar. Well I guess the One has an IR blaster too.
I really want a One. I love my DNA but the One is just so sexy.

Well, thanks for the info on edge and the one. I recently got the DNA, since I went into the pool with my gs3 in my pocket. I am loving the phone. I had one issue with the proximity sensor not working properly. I had to root and the use the resound proximity calibration app to fix that. Is that a know issue with DNA.

About Verizon edge...
You lose unlimited if you have it
It's actually more expensive than a subsided phone
You have to trade in the old one
Rip off
Although the 1st is just a rumour can't say its been proven false till the 1st. Also a Google search reveals like 20 plus tech sites saying the same thing... I'd say believe it at this point.
