I'm on 4.1.2 currently - Stock - But haven't received the OTA update yet. (My carrier hasn't pushed it yet, sounds like its still a month away)
Is it worth unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery on and flashing a 4.2.2 rom? (Android Revolution as I want the stock experience) Just for the updates 4.2.2 brings?
I've used 4.2.2 on other phones I have (Xperia ZL Stock and Nexus 4 running PA 3.5) so I'm aware of what the stock upgrades are, but what does 4.2.2 bring to the HTC One over 4.1.2? Any improvements?
I want to try Android Revolution but have been hesitant on doing so - I have a Rogers Canada version of the HTC One LTE (Same as AT&T). Am I able to flash International roms like Android Revolution on my phone and maintain LTE?
I am S-ON, but I understand Most roms still use the Stock Kernel correct? So how would I go from 4.1.2 Stock rom to 4.2.2 Android Revolution as far as flashing? Do I need flash the boot.img first? (Doing it with S-ON is what I'm implying, yes I know there are S-OFF methods currently)
Update: I'm now S-OFF, Rooted, Unlocked Bootloader and on Stock 4.1.2 Rogers ROM.
NEW QUESTION
See Post #8
4.2 bring some improvements like native eqs and lockscreen widgets all you need to remember is 4.2 changes the file structure so it is best to backup and wipe before going to it all you need to do is follow the op for arhd and you will be alright

Thanks for the confidence haha.
I unlocked bootloader, Flashed CWM Touch and S-OFF'd using the Revone method.
I didn't realize S-Off was so easy.
Rooted as well.
I work very early (5am) so will try flashing rom tomorrow.
Is there anyway of upgrading the firmware from Rogers to the newest UL? Any help here would be appreciated.

What about the one having Stock Rom (Not Rooted) ? My CID is Roger_001 and currently running 4.1. But I haven't received OTA on my Phone yet. Does this make any difference if the phone is being used in other country ?

Just curious if anybody has converted their AT&T Stock HTC One to an International One. Unfortunately I cannot root my phone since I use it for work and due to security settings mobileiron will block my emails if it detects root.
So my end goal is to convert my AT&T HTC one to an International One so I can get the latest updates via OTA without having to wait for AT&T.
I have posted a guide which is a WIP at the moment here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43397755

Well lets say i s-offed my At&t htc one.. Then i can convert cid and mid to international htc one, but how to do that?
Ok suppose somehow i convert it to international cid and mid, but again the latest RUU is only 4.1.2 available... But i can recieve 4.2.2 OTA that is rolling for international htc one right? But again everyone is saying that s-off is not available for 4.2.2 ... So now what?

All I know is you have to change the cid not the mid and after that I don't know because I have no desire to do that. The cid for an unlocked one is HTC__001
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
So I have tried this but currently stuck....
I got S-OFF and I was able to change the CID to HTC_Y13 (which currently has 4.2.2 pushing).
So I tried to install the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed however it said that it is not compatible.
After that, I went down the path and changed the CID to 11111111 and I was able to flash that RUU
Hooked up to WIFI and there was the 1.29.401.12 update pending. However this is where I am stuck....it will download the update however when it goes to apply it it will tell me that my system is modified and that it can't install it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The only issue that I have noticed so far is that I am unable to get LTE. Curious if I can flash an AT&T radio from the 4.1.2 release or maybe just wait for the official AT&T update and then flash that radio. I am still getting about 14Mbps/5Mbps so speed is not currently an issue but would like to have LTE.

Thanks, I will try to write something up but I did so many things that I may not be able to recall every step that I did so I will post a WIP-GUIDE for this so as we have other people (if they wish) to debrand their phone we can get a step by step guide that way.
Yes I know there have been threads on this but all deal with custom roms.
I have the stock rom, rooted and unlocked bootloader, with TWRP recovery. What do I need to do to get the OTA update, OR is the update available anywhere that I can just flash it through TWRP.
I am assuming I will need to flash the stock recovery back (Which I don't have), and possibly lock the bootloader. Does locking it clear the phone like unlocking it does?
Is the AT&T OTA update 4.2.2 or just some tweaks? Anyone know the benefits?

You need to be completely bone stock to get any sort of OTA updates. And the update you're talking about depends on what you're running now.

What is the lastest FW for htc one At&t?
I am sick of waiting att to release 4.2.2. The only solution I read now is to convert att rom to developer edition, which requires s-off and supercid. However, I have no intention to keep the device bootlocker unlocked. And I heard current s-off and s-on methods no longer work with 4.2.2.
So would it work if I convert the rom to developer edition, then s-on and relock the device, and at last upgrade to 4.2.2?
I'm running 1.26.502.12
I believe this is the latest.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Why are you guys waiting to upgrade to 4.2.2 if you are unlocked and rooted? Just install a custom ROM that is built from 4.2.2 basebuild?
I've been running 4.2.2 on my at&t htc1 since day one of owning the phone.

That is a viable option if you're already rooted. I ran AT&T stock rooted 1.26.502.12 for a while myself. But I've used both Scott's Clean Rom (Based off of stock AT&T/ HTC 4.1.2) and I'm using Android Revolution HD 12.1 today (HTC 4.2.2). Once you're rooted, there's those and plenty of other variations on HTC's Sense 5 interface with either 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 out there so there's not really allot of reasons to stay bone stock. Any updates (or the useful parts of them, at least) will be picked out and used by the Devs we have working on the One so I wouldn't bother waiting on OTAs. Just keep a nandroid of your stock setup in case you need to revert back for warranty purposes.
Good luck with att. They genuinely suck. I flashed to viperrom and supercid and flashed firmware my self. Not going to wait till Christmas for a damn update from them while they figure out how to update their terrible apps like att drive.

And hello to you too douche.
Because I like how it works as is thats why. I have more than enough rooted and rommed devices at home to mess with, I don't need this one to be.
To flash an official OTA update from AT&T would I need...
1) Stock Recovery
2) Re-locked Bootloader
3) Both
4) Something else.
I'm mostly waiting on a custom Sense 5 ROM...but I would like to know.

my experience on international X+ is that you only need stock recovery.
Don't flash an OTA with a custom rom. Even with stock recovery! your just asking for trouble. I'm also pretty sure you need a locked bootloader, to prevent the same security error you'd get trying to flash an RUU on an unlocked bootloader. But tbh i'm just speculating.

unlocking the bootloader will start a whole new set of problems
the unlock process wipes your phone and deletes files need for the OTA to proceed without error.
did you try just flashing the OTA with stock recovery and see if it worked ?

HTC doesn't offer the update, AT&T push's it to your phone.
But if your out of the AT&T coverage area you never get the updates
