I have a device from AT&T and I requested for an unlock and received a code.
I would like to use this in India. But I dont have a indian micro sim to unlock it. Is there any way to clean up the device from those useless AT&T apps and upgrade it to KitKat ? Or is it possible to do it only after I unlock it ?
How can I know what is the latest release of android for a specific phone model, for example HTC ONE VX.

i cant help you with your international problems but it looks like the device came with ice cream sandwich update (4.0.4) and is upgrade-able to jelly bean 4.1.2 (cant find much about the phone) updates and no word on an offical kit kat update. as for the AT&T bloatware you can root the device and remove them from there, you could flash a custom rom that has kit kat on it if you are willing todo that.

Why would you not want Jelly Bean 4.1?
I think you need to unlock the bootloader, install a custom bootloader, then you can flash a prerooted ROM
My problem in rooting is I have 1.94.631.3
I expect Rogers will not see 4.0.4 for a long time.

Rogers didn't limit us like AT&T did with our southern users. Go to htcdev.com, register and unlock your bootloader. Once complete, you can push TWRP via fasboot to your phone. From there, you can boot into recovery via bootloader and flash a custom ROM that is already rooted for you.

AFAIK, JB is still a work in progress, I think OP is looking for something stable for a DD. You're right about that last part though, Canadian carriers are stupid slow in getting updates pushed to their users.
I read if you go 4.04 you will have setting issues with LTE when you upgrade to 4.1
I also read CynogenMod 10 is pretty stable not too many complaints, daily updates.
If I read right the process where you unlock the bootloader, push TWRP should work with my device too ....
It should not matter I have 1.94.631.3
Maybe I am waiting for nothing.

When stable builds of JB get released, I'm sure the dev community will be able to troubleshoot any issues.
It's only the AT&T version of the HOX that is locked down. All other variants (to my knowledge) are unlockable through htcdev.com. Once you have an unlocked bootloader, you will be able to flash TWRP and then a new ROM.
But I don't want to lost all my setting , apps , msg , ect . ...

Hi guys,
I bought my HTC One XL on asian site to use it in France. I'am very happy of it (comming from iPhone
This phone seems to be identical to the AT&T One X hardware but with Asian ROM.
It running Android 4.0.4, with HTC sense 4.1
The firmware version state for 2.42.708.3 (I've seen a Rom mod (stock rooted) based of this version on asian sites)
And basebande version 2.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L
The phone had only 3 languages available (but I have add french without problem)
I've not tested LTE so far (only one band of this phone is in common with French LTE).
Do you think I can root it and change ROM following AT&T One X tutorials ?
Thx,
Vince

No need to. Just unlock the bootloader on HTCDev.com. Then install TWRP (custom recovery) and either flash SU or a rooted ROM to get root.
Extra steps of temp root and changing to SuperCID is only needed on the AT&T version, due to the fact that AT&T's CID does not allow bootloader unlock on HTCDev.com. This applies only to AT&T's CID.
Faites ca^^ bonne chance
Thx for these advises !
I'll wait for the Jelly Bean update at end of this month (supposed to) and check if USB audio is working. If not, I'll change the ROM.
CleanROM seems to me to be a good candidate as I'am OK with HTC Sense so far.
Thanks,
V.
Hi,
I have bought an Verizon HTC One(4G LTE) when I was in US. But now I moved to India and I use a different carrier. The Phone works fine. But my phone shows its LOCKED and S-ON.
Now I want to update my phone to Kitkat 4.4.2. I cant get the OTA of software as I don't use Verizon anymore.
Can anyone please help me to update my software to kitkat.
Thanks,
Sid.

This question is not answerable. 4.4.4 is the latest official rom for our Verizon needed htc m8 phones. The m9 is the rumored successor to the m8 which has not yet even been officially announced. Therefore there is no "m9 run" that could possibly exist.
When you say you are "unlocked to any network" I assume you just mean you have an unlocked bootloader? There is no process that will make your phone able to receive any carrier's RUUs.
Perhaps you mean an ruu for the android 5 (lollipop) rom which has been released for international variants of the m8. You should not flash that ruu to your phone and I wouldn't be surprised if it wouldn't let you anyway. You can flash ported versions of those roms which despises have made to work with our Verizon branded m8s. If you're looking for a clean start on your phone then there are threads made which cover that in great detail for the official 4.4.4 & 4.4.3 releases.
I have a question I have searched and found no answer to.
Can I install any lollipop version or any Samsung official lollipop version on a unlocked att note edge? If so where would I find the file and instructions on installing lollipop on a unlocked sm-n915a?

Imo it'd be best to wait for Samsung and AT&T to release the official lollipop update for your specific device. Unless a developer builds a custom lollipop rom for the AT&T model.
Flashing another rom from another device/carrier can easily lead to a very very expensive paper weight.

I would also suggest waiting but if you are VERY comfortable with ADB and ODIN, on the older Samsung models, you USED to be able to flash T-Mobile ROMs on the AT&T variants, but this was on my Note II...

How did you get the bootloader unlocked? SIM unlock won't let you install a custom ROM, only having the bootloader will, and so far as I have read, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I have a question on the same lines. If we insert ATnT sim temporarily in unlocked ATnT Note Edge (currently using with TMO), will it perform Android Lollipop update OTA?

It should as long as sim is provisioned properly with at&t.
