confirmed what i thought then, want to keep my htc one with sense (hence the move away from nexus5) so i guess its just the waiting game then until they release it for stock One.

U will get the official Sense update by end January. BTW official CM11 nightlies are available
Or you can unlock,flash custom recovery and use a sense based 4.4 custom rom.
The developer edition is Sense, Google Play edition is AOSP(mostly)

I thought the Red One was CDMA (Sprint/Verizon) is yours a GSM Model ?
In the UK my gsm handset was purchased from phones4u who I believe had the exclusive on this colour.

i forgot to ask above but what actually is the benefits of the developer addition?
Personally i dont see any benefits. It gets updates a little bit sooner but nothing big. If you get an actual developer edition device though you get 64gb of storage and unlocked bootloader

I read this some days ago somewhere else but i dont know if its true but....it depends on your CID and IMEI number. It doesent matter where you are or what kind of SIM card you use. I guess every IncS all over the world is checking the same servers for OTA update.

i doubt it, unbranded phones , like just htc outright ones will get it from htc server, but like vodafone, optus, at&t etc.. will get it from their carriers who branded the phones.

I always rely on custom Rom from this site. Never for OTA...
From what I understood of the recent Vodafone ICS update for the Sensation XL, they tweak the install and then give it back to HTC for distribution. All updates are reputedly deployed from HTC servers and it is dependent on the IMEI as to which update you receive and when. This may all be utter bolllox but that's the way I understood it from the Vodafone info they gave out.
already we updated around the world bye nik

Hi Guys
Got sick of waiting so went ahead and installed Nik_Aura_Rebirth_sense4a on my Incredible S and let me just say its awesome! It runs the HTC One V rom so it has the cut down version of the full Sense 4 which i think is better than what HTC is going to give us with the update which will actually run 3.6!
Its fast and smooth and looks awesome! Why wait for the official update when you can get a better version now!!
Best of all is no bloatware from Optus!!!
I've made some how to's for anyone who is interested

I'd like to know too, having hit the HTC Dev "sorry it aint going to happen" error message when transferring the code across to the HTC site. I've seen sites that will do this for money so I know there's a solution out there. After many years of Android and unlocking I don't particularly want to pay someone for something that should be public knowledge.
I got a code from eBay for £3 and it worked fine... Send me a pm with your email and send you link....

Can't say about UK, but my HTC One on 3 Sweden was no problem unlocking bootloader from HTC Dev at beginning of last week... Just wanted to clarify in case other swedes read and give up in advance... Find it strange that the same carrier would have different policys in different countries but fairly new to the game so I'm not sure.

I unlocked my 3 UK branded HTC one via htcdev
If HTC one is not in drop down menu
Then select other models option
This worked for me
Edit
Not sure if op means unlock bootloader, which is via htcdev as above or carrier unlock, to use a non 3 SIM, which is a different process
You will be emailed an unlock token that you should save, as this can be used to unlock your phone again should you relock

International ROM
Can anyone here give me simple starter instructions to reflash my vodafone htc one with international stock rom
I dont want a custom rom just a non vodafone rom form HTC, EU or World.
It is SIM unlocked Bootloader locked.
Can this be done without rooting?
Just switched form Samsung where it was easy to switch to a different rom by flashing without rooting...is there a similar way with HTC?

Thinking of changing form an Xperia Z with a locked bootloader - would you be so kind as to confirm whether the HTC One on 3 UK has a locked down bootloader? The XZ bootloader is locked down tighter than a duck's behind.

Its definitely much more than that buddy. Wish it was that simple tho.
One of the fine editors over at android central had heard, unofficially of course, to expect something in november. So while that may or may not be for the international One, we weren't that far behind for the 4.3 launch, and as this is a relatively minor update in comparison, I don't see why it would take any longer for this to go through the proper channels.

Yeah, you can use the twrp of the One (i advice the 2.6.3.3) and some roms are compatible, for example the ViperOne is compatible is the best rom (for me) on xda

There are no roms fr the One which have no Wifi
There are maany roms based on stock Sense 5.5 which offer a lot more custimizations, like RAM usage in the mutitasking menu, changing the grid size in the app drawer, nd MILLIONS of other mods, than the default stock rom. ARHD, InsertCoin, MaximusHD, ViperOne are a few roms which i can remember. I wud recommend any of these Sense roms instead of pure stock

Certain variants of the One like the Verizon version cant b unlocked thru HTCDev. The Verizon One needs to b unlocked with Rumrunner. There are special tools required fr certain variants.
