So I got my U11 a month ago and it's been great. But after 7 years of installing roms I'm really tempted to unlock the bootloader and install one of these great roms we have here. Or turn it into the US unlocked version. I've owned a HTC one M9 once, so I know my way around to get back to stock and stuff. But will I be able to get OTA's with my U11? Back when I had my M9 I was able to get back to stock and get OTA's. I was even able to turn my M9 in to the US unlocked edition by changing the cid and mid and installing the RUU from HTC's website. It felt amazing when I got Nougat faster than my friends HTC 10 EMEA version So, Is this still possible for my Dual sim HTC U11 EMEA region? Or does that only work for the single sim version?
Would love to hear from one of you guys!

I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for any help!
Currently, the goldcard method doesn't seem to be working. That's the only way to flash an official ROM without having an unlocked bootloader.
So, currently, sadly no way to do it. Hopefully when HTC release an unlocked bootloader for it, we will see changes.

Do you know whether HTC is planning to do so at all? I heard they wanted to make future bootloaders unsigned, but will the Sensation get an "Update" or something like that to have it unsigned?
I asked HTC about how and when the bootloader will be unlocked and they just tweeted me back saying "Good question. More specific details will be shared soon."
So yeah... :/

Hello,
Got a HTC Sensation from Swisscom and I'm wondering the same, any news on this?
I tried an update found on the forum: version 1.35.401.1, tried to install and said 'wrong client id'... Didn't update.
Just sent a request to HTC customer support to know if I'll get the OTA... But I don't expect much from this.
If I can't unlock and root this phone I'm gonna get rid of it and will never get a HTC again, that's one sure thing. Already regret having bought it, should have waited for it to be unlocked first!

You'll have to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or for AlphaRev to do that before HTC). Expect HTC do provide the full unlock in September.
PS. I bought it unbranded meanwhile.
Hello, a friend of mine, bless his heart, took all the updates from AT&T for his HTC One X. Now it has the dreaded 5.18.502.1 firmware that can't be rolled back (or can it?). He recently got a new phone and I would like to buy his off of him, but if it's not able to be rooted, I will likely decline. So I was wondering, is ANYONE working on a root for this, or does anyone know of anybody who is? If it's in process, I might still buy it and suck it up for a few months until it becomes publicly available, so I would like to know. I would like to get off of my Huawei Sonic on Cyanogen 7.2, since no further updates are available for it and probably never will be (for the price, it's a great phone once rooted and flashed with a Benru89's ROM). Thanks!

There is no root method available for the latest 5.18 firmware. It cannot be rolled back without s-off, which would first require an unlocked bootloader and root, such would first need a root method. I doubt whether a hack for this latest software like firmware is being worked on or will be released. It might happen, but I certainly wouldn't hold your breathe.

i have the tagged and branded verizon version cuz i had no choice but did someone ever extract the htc one unlocked rom so i can flash it and get the htc one m8 rom experience without the bad Verizon experience? i looked through the roms a little bit and asked google but couldnt find anything that seemed to be just a straight pull from the original m8

Look again. I don't know if you mean a ROM like the Google Play edition, or the M8 with all the HTC stuff, but minus the Verizon bloat. Either way, there are several of the latter, and one (at least) of the former).

Hello SlimRom Team,
I bought a HTC One Dual SIM for my job and for private. And even f I would have a non-dual-sim M8, I would have a problem here in local stores in germany, cause nearly all stores have the dual SIM version.
So please SlimTeam add M8_DUGL to supported devices. Because I think very much selled devices in germany will be the dual sim version, like mine.
PS: I came from my good old SGSII with SlimKat

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.
