Looking to get the latest updates from HTC faster than the International LTE, GSM and American Carriers AT&T and T-Mobile variants, well here is a guide to help you convert your HTC One into a developer edition. I can confirm that it works with the European HSPA and LTE bands. Doing this will also update you directly to 5.0.2 Lollipop

Read This First:

You must be S-OFF

You must be HTCDev Unlocked

You must have CWM or TWRP recovery installed

You must charge your phone to AT LEAST 50%

You must know how to use ADB and Fastboot

You must have any KitKat or Lollipop firmware installed

Your SD Card will be WIPED, so make a backup of your files

This WILL NOT work on the CDMA HTC One

Even though this is 100% safe, I am not responsible if you break your phone

Part 1: Changing your CID and MID (Model ID)

Reboot into bootloader

Enter fastboot mode

Open a CMD window and type (without quotes) "fastboot oem writecid BS_US001

Then type (without quotes) "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

To confirm you have the above CID type in (without quotes) "fastboot getvar cid" or "fastboot oem readcid"

If it shows "cid: BS_US001" then you are ready to continue to the next step

Now you have to change your Model ID (MID) (Skip this if you have the AT&T or GPE variant), you now have to download this: MID Change tool

Now boot into Android and place the MID Change tool on your SD Card

Now reboot into recovery

Then find and flash the MID Change Tool

Once inside Aroma Installer you have to select the MID PN0712000

Then tap next and your MID will be changed

Part 2: Downloading and running the RUU

Firstly, download the RUU from here: RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_7.17.1540.7_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_420191_signed_2.exe

Now open the RUU file

Follow the steps in the RUU, accepting any agreements. Meanwhile make sure your phone is in Fastboot mode

Now let the RUU do its work and about 4-10 minuites later you will have a full Developer Edition HTC One (M7)

Please press the thanks button if this helped you
[One (M7) General] alomex21:
Thanks! But what's the difference? I mean the normal edition and this?
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Well by normal, you mean the International version and the developer edition gets updates before anyone else

Heres how the updates go to variants from first to last

1. HTC One GPE > 2. HTC One Developer Edition/Unlocked Edition > 3. International HTC One > 4. Carrier Variants (Like EE in UK and Verizon in US)
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Since the Lollipop Sense update is imminent, I have updated the thread with the latest RUU, the 4.4.3 Sense 6 RUU.
[One (M7) General] alray:
:good:

I wasn't aware they had released a signed RUU for 6.07.1540.2. Not even able to find it on HTCDev.com...
[One (M7) General] dd98:
its on their actual website but i only found it yesterday
[One (M7) General] clsA:
Yeah it's crazy the M8 DE Lollipop RUU is already out also

it's here in case you need the link

[One (M7) General] dd98:
Thanks, but I WANT LOLLIPOP SOON!!!
[One (M7) General] clsA:
lol, well I bet theirs an M8 right down the street with your name on it ;)
[One (M7) General] dd98:
I cant, I love beats too much
[One (M7) General] clsA:
The M8 has BOOMsound, I never noticed a difference between it and my m7
[One (M7) General] gechu:
Hi there & thanks for the write-up! Thought I´d share my experience from following your guide.

At first try I thought I had bricked my device. It all started off good, but when I ran "fastboot reboot-bootloader" prior to executing the RUU, my device didn´t boot. No LED, no display, nothing. It was dead!

During the last year I´ve been going back & forth between different firmwares (GPE, Sense etc) and today I had apparently hit a dead end. The device showed typical symptoms of being hard bricked. After trying all kind of imagenable key combinations & gooling, I found dexter93´s [UNBRICK][BETA] HTC Unbricking Project http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770684

Ran the unbricking tool which recorgnized my device and started processing. When done I tried to power on the device without success. At this time I had givven up. But for some unknown reason I tried to get into fastboot mode once again. And to my surpise it worked!

Now I knew that it was possible to restore the device to some operation state. With that in mind, I went for a second try of converting it to dev edition. The procedure went fine until I started the RUU which abruptly crashed. I´m running Windows 8.1 x64. Turned out I needed to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29 to be able to successfully run the RUU.

After the RUU I rebooted into the new installation only to find out that my mobile network didn´t work! It suprised me since OP wrote that the release was supposed to work in Europe. After some more depressing thoughts of failure I realized the I had removed (as instructed) the SIM when running the HTC Unbrick Project tool. Reinserted the SIM and I was able to connect to my cellular network provider.

The guide well structured and easy to follow. One minor suggestion for improvement could be to alter step #5 in the second part from:

5. Then type (without quotes) "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"

to:

5. Then type (without quotes) "fastboot flash zip 5.11.1540.9.zip"

Just a minor note. Thanks for the guide & keep up the good work!
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Thanks, i forgot to change it after updating the RUU and firmware, but I just realized that flashing the 5.11.1540.9 firmware causes problems for users on lollipop firmware, Im going to re-write the guide soon!
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Instructions re-written to ensure people on Lollipop firmwares don't get bricked in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode
[One (M7) General] clsA:
Thanks for your Work

[One (M7) General] kysulli:
I'm guessing ii don't need to run the change MID if my MID is already PN0712000? Or should I run it anyway?

Working for me. Thanks!
[One (M7) General] gechu:
I can confirm that I came from GPE Lollipop and got the device recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Was this before or after I posted the new guide, because with the new guide I came from GPE 5.11.1700.3 down to the developer edition 6.07.1540.2 without any problem, twice. Try this to unbrick your phone, use Ubuntu 14.04 and it should work without problems
[One (M7) General] gechu:
I used the initial guide, and brought the device back to life using the tool you referenced.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Ok well now in future, you should not get bricked using this guide
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Lollipop OTA has landed for the dev edition, get converting!

SW No: 7.17.1540.7
[One (M7) General] Goozy:
Awesome thanks for that KitKat RUU. I tried everything to find an official KK RUU a couple weeks ago including faking my HTTP Referer to mimic the HTCDev site but I still couldn't get it. I also tired the Jellybean RUU but for some reason I didn't get any further OTAs so this is very helpful!

Downloading it now...

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

For future reference do you mind showing me exactly where you found the RUU? I just looked through the HTCDev website but I couldn't find anything under either the M7 or the Brightstar US categories. The latest I could find is the 4.3 RUU
[One (M7) General] dd98:
here
[One (M7) General] Goozy:
Awesome thank you! I didn't even know about this site. I always just downloaded RUUs through HTCDev.com
[One (M7) General] :
There used to be EU version RUU on HTCDEV, now I can't find it. Have they taken it down ?
[One (M7) General] Goozy:
bah!!! Just an FYI if you are coming from GPE the 4.4 RUU does not work properly. Also the extracted rom.zip file cannot be flashed manually through Fastboot (maybe it's encrypted?). I had to flash the 4.3 RUU zip manually first THEN flash the 4.4 RUU. A bit annoying but still works. Now to see if I get the Lollipop OTA :D
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Thanks for this, successfully converted and updated to lollipop, HBOOT 1.61 and 7.17.1540 = I wonder what they changed

back up of stock recovery

Hello guys ,can any one give me the link about how to back up the stock recovery ? I have unlock boot loader ,s- off super cid installed stock recovery to get ota of lollipop , running stock lollipop Rom ,now want to back up recovery

thanks
[One (M7) General] alray:
you can extract the stock recovery from the ota zip file: Open the ota zip file, extract the fimrware.zip file from it --> recovery.img is the stock recovery.

If you are talking about the 7.17.1540.7 recovery I already uploaded it to my thread (linked in my signature) and in the recovery collection thread in the general section.

backing up the stock recovery directly from the phone is possible but much more complicated, I already explained how in this post. we did it that way only because the ota zip file was encrypted, unlike all others ota.
[One (M7) General] vasujahagirdar:
Then you very much !
[One (M7) General] OGhoul:
Arg.

I cannot get the RUU to run successfully for the life of me. It's 2am, again.

I bought a brand new (blue) AT&T M7. It came with 4.3 and Sense 5. HBOOT 1.55.

Unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev.

Installed TWRP.

Flashed SuperSU.

Used Rumrunner S-Off.

Changed my CID to BS_US001.

MID was already PN0712000. I installed the MID Change tool and changed it to PN0712000 anyway.

I run the RUU in the OP, and the RUU craps out telling me that I've got the wrong ROM. The phone is displaying the black screen with the HTC logo. No progress bar or anything.

I do see this in the OP: "You must have any KitKat or Lollipop firmware installed" ...shouldn't the RUU do that?

(bootloader) version: 0.5

EDIT:

On a whim, I converted back to AT&T CID and attempted to run the latest AT&T RUU. One thing I noticed between both is that htc_fastboot.exe crashes for both RUUs. I have Windows 8.1, btw.
[One (M7) General] alray:
You must flash a kitkat firmware before using the RUU. Flash the 6.07.1540.2 full firmware posted in my thread (linked in my signature) then flash the 6.07.1540.2 RUU and install ota update (directly from HTC or also posted in my thread)

Uninstall HTC Sync, but keep the drivers installed. You don't want HTC sync on your computer when you are flashing stuff.
[One (M7) General] OGhoul:
So I should (in order):

CID BS__US001

6.07.1540.2 stock firmware (full)

6.07.1540.2 Signed RUU.exe

OTA update zip 7.17.1540.7

Correct? This will get me to 4.4.x and then 5.0.2 via the OTA zip?

Here's the kicker; I had already had uninstalled HTC Sync. I reinstalled it this morning before I left for work thinking maybe the uninstall had bombed. But I'll remove it again this evening before attempting again.

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.
[One (M7) General] alray:
Correct
[One (M7) General] OGhoul:
Thank you. I'll report back this evening.

And just so I have all of my bases covered (it's been over a year since I've flashed firmware), would this thread be a good step by step to flash the firmware from your page (it's a more detailed version of your instructions)?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485651
[One (M7) General] Seanie280672:
Careful there, because you are on 3.17.502.3, basically 3xxxxxx firmware, you must flash a 4xxxxx then a 5xxxxxxx and then a 6xxxxxxx firmware in that order, not just straight from 3 to 6.
[One (M7) General] alray:
Afaik it shouldn't be an issue if using a complete firmware. But flashing a firmware package from an OTA must always be done incrementally. Correct me if im wrong.
[One (M7) General] theclaytons:
Hi,

I've successfully flashed developer edition but there is no UK English system language that I can see. This means Fahrenheit for weather cards in Google now etc. any ideas on how to get UK English?

Cheers,
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Strangely enough I have the option of UK English, I mean you cant spell colour without a "u". Try change the following lines in the build.prop

ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US

Change the US to UK and see if it works. Check the spelling of aluminium to see if it worked
[One (M7) General] gffmac:
Go to language and keyboard, HTC sense input, keyboard selection, choose UK English, deselect anything us. Set Celsius in sense weather settings and my Google now search is set to celsuis too.
[One (M7) General] theclaytons:
English UK is greyed out like it is not installed.....
[One (M7) General] gffmac:
Think you have to deselect us first something like that
[One (M7) General] ItsDon:
I think HTC Sync is his problem. I was on Maximus Lollipop 5.0 and successfully flashed the KitKat RUU posted earlier in this thread. I did not have downgrade first and the phone booted straight into 4.4.3. I then went right into software update and BOOM - I was offered the latest HTC Lollipop Sense version which is installing as I type.
[One (M7) General] OGhoul:
As it sits right now, I've flashed the 6.07.1540.2 stock firmware (full) successfully, however upon rebooting, I get a black screen. It periodically reboots, shows the white HTC screen, then goes black. Holding the power button or holding power & volume down only make the capacitive buttons flash.

adb devices and fastboot devices does not detect anything.

EDIT: Running the RUU and it seems to be taking it. Booted! Restoring my M8s backup now, lol.
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
I've got to step 3 of part 2. When I accept the agreement of the RUU it just closes. Tried it twice now. Any idea what the problem is?
[One (M7) General] dd98:
what version of windows are you on?

EDIT: Read post below this
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Added Lollipop RUU to OP!
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
I've sorted it. Read through thread and installed Visual C as per post 12. Installed fine now thanks. Rebooting :)
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
Thanks for this guide. Lollipop 5.0.2 installed and working. I was looking into rooting it using Chainfires UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip. When I went back to recovery I saw that TWRP was no longer installed but it seemed to be the stock HTC version. Do I need to keep it for OTA updates? Is root even possible on Lollipop 5.0.2 yet?
[One (M7) General] Egrier:
Yes, root is possible. If you want OTA updates to work, then you need the stock recovery. I've rooted my M7 running 5.0.2.
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
So how did you root? I have tried installing TWRP but adb no longer finds my device when in fastboot mode. It worked yesterday before the upgrade to lollipop. Adb lists my phone when it is booted.

---------- Post added at 07:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Scrap that. After numerous reboots, uninstallation and reinstallation of drivers etc it decided to work just after I called for assistance. I am now rooted :)
[One (M7) General] Checka77:
Conversion

I've tried it as the instructions said; however when the RUU was running it came back with "wrong rom"

I had changed the CID to BS_US001

MID PN0712000

Firmware 5.11.1700.3

Do I need to flash different firmware first?

Do I need to relock the bootloader before trying the RUU?

Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE.

So I followed the advice from [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION].

Changed my cid to BS_US001

Mid changed to PN0712000

I flashed the full 6.07.1540.2 firmware zip.

Didn't reboot my phone and ran the new HTC dev. edition ruu.exe (5.0.2) on windows vista.

All worked great.
[One (M7) General] xpurtwitness:
Ok, here's a fun one for ya.

I have the 32GB AT&T version. I recently converted it to GPe via the latest RUU, so am on 5.0.1. I tried the Lollipop RUU you've posted here, but continue to get error 155. Is it because I'm trying to go from a 5.x image to 7.x? I did convert my CID, and the MID was already good. I installed TWRP, have S-OFF, and originally was relocked, then tried again unlocked. Both failed. HBOOT: 1.54, OS: 5.11, 1700.3.

Any thoughts?

Update: 6.07.1540.2 RUU failed, as well.

For international

International means international carriers? ie. i'm using an HTC one m7 from Nextel in México, can i do this process?
[One (M7) General] Semseddin:
I remember somebody posted that you need to downgrade to 4.3 sense roms from gpe, then you can update to 7.17.1540
[One (M7) General] xpurtwitness:
Thanks, I'll try that. I did try re-flashing stock recovery, but no dice. Hoping the downgrade works.
[One (M7) General] alray:
You need to flash kitkat or lollipop dev ed firmware before using a ruu.exe. Flash the 6.07.1540.2 full firmware in my thread (linked in my sig) then you'll be good to use the ruu.exe (either the 6.07.1540.2 or 7.17.1540.7 version)
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
I've installed TWRP and am enjoying root now. If I want to install an ota update where can I get a stock recovery which matches? I've looked in various threads but can't work out which is the correct version.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
What firmware?
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
I assume that's the same as software number? It's 7.17.1540.7
[One (M7) General] dd98:
Ok go to [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]'s dev edition collection page, download the firmware zip, extract the recovery.img and flash it though fastboot. I cant give the recovery img to you now im not at my computer
[One (M7) General] Neo Cortex:
Thanks. Got it.
[One (M7) General] xpurtwitness:
Thanks, [MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]! I'll certainly give that a go. :) I appreciate the response.
[One (M7) General] allhill:
After change CID & MID, i flash RUU 6.07.1540.1/2 from here is possible? :) no need flash firmware before rite, just RUU.
[One (M7) General] alray:
you can jump directly to 7.17.1540.7 ruu if you flash the 6.07.1540.2 full firmware first.
[One (M7) General] allhill:
because my latest firmware is 4.4.3 with sense 6, better i flash 4.4.3 developer edition, then OTA to 5.02 :D thanks... will try after my battery is full. wish me luck

The CID number doesn't matters when flashing custom roms, only when flashing RUU and installing ota updates.

I'm planning to create an exam app for android but I have a couple of concerns before jumping to the development.

For the first part, the questions are dynamic which means the questions and the number of questions are not fixed. What I'm planning to create for this is a web server where I can fetch the JSON data for the questions and answers(is this correct?) which are dynamically added by the admin of the web server.

For the second part, I want the fetched data(questions) to be shown one per view(one per device screen) then just put a button to confirm the users answer, the concerns I'm having is, is this approach going to take a lot of memory? Specially if the data that is fetched are more than a hundred of questions.

I still have a lot on my mind but for the meantime I want this two questions answered first, Thank you and have a good day!
[Java for Android App Development] Jonny:
There shouldn't be any memory issues, though to conserve data usage and battery, personally I would download all questions at once and store them locally in an SQLite database, then whenever a new question is needed you don't have to send off a request to the web server. ALso this means the app could be used offline, especially if you do a similar thing with the answers and store them locally then check if the students answer matches up to the stored answer.
[Java for Android App Development] Masrepus:
Sqlite is a fine thing, i agree with jonny

And as your questions are just a lot of strings they wont take a lot of memory, some few jpegs etc would take lot more

Can you help me please? I hope so a solution for my G2 :crying:.
