i own a verizon htc one which i carrier unlocked to work on any sim.
I have achieved s-off/unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone.
My question is .. Can I use Roms from HTC One thread on my Verizon HTC one. Both the phones have same specifications so they must be compatible right?

Hello,
I got a big sale on HTC Evo 3D (the GSM version). It costed only 300$ without contract.
I owned a lot of Android phones before and i'm not a noob. I was in the testing team for a lot of ROMs.
Since this is my first HTC, can someone explain to me:
- What's HBOOT?
- What's S-ON/S-OFF? Ok, i know it's security ON/OFF, but how does this affect the phone?
- What's the best ROM for the GSM version?
- Why are so few ROMs available?
I installed CWM 5.0.2.0, i rooted my phone and i unlocked my bootloader via htcdev. My HBOOT is 1.49.0018 and my device is S-ON. I have the default firmware (Android 2.3.4, Software number 1.20.401.8).
You were a ROM tester and don't know what hboot or s-on/off is.? Hmmmmmm

Samsung Galaxy i5500 had an unlocked bootloader.
Motorola Milestone had a locked bootloader, but we could bypass the bootloader via some exploits.
LG Optimus 2x had an unlocked bootloader.
Xperia X10 mini pro had a locked bootloader, but we could unlock it via an exploit made by the great the_laser (the master of Sony Ericsson).
When i said ROM tester, i was saying "TESTER". Install ROM, check the functions, check the stability, check the temperature etc.
Do you get it now? It's the first time i have a contact with the HTC phones.
Don't be rude and be happy when a new guy buys the phone. He will be another person who will install the custom roms on the phone. So, another person who can find bugs.
Wasn't being rude, just wanted clarification. I am glad you're here and always welcome new members. Sorry it came across that way.
Welcome aboard in any case

Is it possible that unlocking bootloader, rooting may affect network unlocking?
I have an HTC desire X , locked on Orange Romania network. Now I moved to UK, tried to unlock it at 3 different stores, they told me they can't unlock it using that IMEI generated code. My question is why?
Phones is unlocked, rooted, custom rom MySende DX 3.0
Thankyou
Is my understanding that a phone with bootloader unlocked can have any rom installed (i may be wrong). If that would be the case can i install a verizon rom on my unlocked s-off M8 and be able to use it on verizon?
Verizon runs on a CDMA network. AT&T is GSM. Wont work. Wont work for Sprint either for the exact same reason. You can however move it to T-mobile after getting unlocked.

Also - your statement that a phone with an unlocked bootloader can run ANY ROM isn't quite accurate. The ROM must be made for the device itself - model and type (GSM, CDMA, etc.).

I should have clarified. I meant carrier unlocked not a unlocked bootloader.
Thanks guys that explains everything.

Hi guys, since upgrading to a stock ATT M8 (from a rooted ATT M7) on December, I have wanted to do the Lollipop update, but I do not want to risk the phone by rooting it (maybe I could do it on a last case scenario). ATT recently pushed the OTA update to the M8, but mine is unlocked, and I'm currently using it on Claro PR, so when I check for updates it gives me nothing. So here goes my question, can I manually download and push the ATT update from HTC to the M8 (as it is on stock kit kat)? My only doubt is that since it's unlocked, could it brick during the process, or would it be alright? Thanks in advance!

Is it SIM unlocked or unlocked from HTC? Unlocked from HTC means it has no carrier branding/bloatware and can be used on any network, compared to SIM unlocked where its just an AT&T phone with AT&T apps and branding that is SIM unlocked. If its unlocked from HTC you could just use an RUU to update. If its SIM unlocked from AT&T you could use an RUU but I'm unaware if that would then break the SIM unlock.
