So I live in Singapore, and was thinking of getting the HTC Butterfly when it comes out here in February but I'm not that patient, so I was thinking about going to China and getting the HTC X920e Butterfly since it's essentially the same. But if I do, I still want to be able to root and flash roms and stuff, and I was wondering if the methods to unlock and root for the Droid DNA will work on the X920e or the international Butterfly? Because the butterfly is released in China and Japan and there's still no forums but this one up. Sorry if this is a n00by question, but I want to know before I make the purchase in China
I think you probably could flash the same stuff on it. It looks identical to the DNA. Make sure the radio is the same.

Ok thanks, was just wondering since previous carrier-exclusive phones usually have a separate thread to the international phone, and the Butterfly/DNA only has one
ok, the international version of Butterfly is X920d, not X920e. The kernal, functions etc will be different.
I'd suggest you go Taiwan to get X920d.

I read in another news post: "HTC Droid DNA will also be available on the international version..."
But I hope there will be X920d development tread in XDA, because I got one.

Hi guys.
Currently have a dhd but o2 have offered me an early upgrade.
So I'm getting a Sensation next week. In the past they've sent me unbranded handsets & some branded.
Just wondered that once the s-off method has been made public, would one still be able to Debrand & use custom roms as I have been on dhd?
My apologies for the lack of knowledge. Just that I've not had to make goldcards etc on dhd as that came unbranded from o2.
I'm sure someone will make a guide etc.. Xda is very helpful like that
Thanks Y'all

After S-OFF you can flash any rom you like, so you can definately debrand your phone.
The only branding on my o2 sensation was the wallpaper, I haven't checked the simlock yet but I assume its locked to o2

Normally at germany HTC sim lock isnt allowed. I believe its the same for Eu devices

Hi guys what I mean is o2 & other networks have a different software number to the official htc one.
So even if I do have an o2 branded handset, once the s-off method is here can I just proceed with goldcard, then downgrade & straight into a LeeDrOiD rom?
I was lucky with my dhd from o2 as this one kept the original htc software version & not o2's own.
Thank you for the advice & help guys =)
I was so happy when phones4u gave me an unbranded one! Orange generally put loads of ****e on the phones!

We don't know the process yet. Downgrade was specific to dhd for an exploit for radio s off.
Simply put though, once you have s off you can flash any rom.
I live in Australia and I use Virgin Mobile's One X. My CID is HTC_023, so I assume that my phone is unbranded. I am currently running a European stock ROM. Does this mean that I will receive the Jelly Bean update when the European handsets get it or should I wait until the Virgin Mobile Australia handsets get it?
I am a noob at this stuff so please help me out.

Since you're unbranded, you'll get it whenever the ota is released for your phone. No need to worry about being on a carrier or not :thumbup:

Not another thread about the OTA for gods sake. I think everyone has discussed this to such a point that now there is nothing left to discuss. Please read the existing threads before making another one. Cheers

I'm with Virgin as well in Australia. I contacted Virgin once when Sense 4.1 came out to ask when the update would come out and they said that they had no plans to do an update. Then when Jelly Bean was released, i contacted them again via email to ask when they were planning to at least update the One X to Sense 4.1 or hopefully Jelly Bean. Their reply the second time was pretty much the same, they said that they're not planning to update the One X and they referred me to ask HTC's support for more information. In asking the above both times, i mentioned how Optus and Vodafone users had both received updates to at least Sense 4.1 and how Virgin uses Optus' networks, so clearly it's Virgin's fault that their users haven't received the update since Optus users have been running it just fine for a while.
So then i went to HTC Australia's support. I had a live web chat with one of their customer service reps and i asked him if it was possible for me to get any kind of update since Virgin isn't planning to do any updates. He asked for my IMEI and then told me that my phone is a modified Vodafone handset that is unlocked. He then told me that if i was going to get any update on my phone, it would come from Vodafone.
SidDev, i'd recommend for you to go to here and talk to HTC and see if you're in the same boat that i'm in. Hopefully you are, which would mean that you WILL get an update eventually from Vodafone. I must say though, i've been quite disappointed with Virgin's service and their responses to this issue.
Btw if you found this post useful, please hit the thanks button .
Curious, what chip set you guys have?
JB is not out for the XL S4, yet this is the XL forum.
You might get more help in the X forums unless I misunderstood something here.

hey just wanted to ask a few questions because im thinking of getting the AT&T HTC One X. Im coming from the Droid Incredible 2, which had S-OFF. I know this phone doesn't have S-OFF, but i assume HTC Unlock is still available ? How does this phone compare to the One S(T-mobile)? and are there any common issues with the phone ?
Thanks and i hope to join the community soon.

I have a HTC one x from rogers,Canada and im not sure if its considered the international version? I don't want to brick my phone so my Jelly Bean - Android 4.2.2 / Sense 5 ViperXL 4.0.0 compatible with my rogers htc one x?
Wrong place too ask should of been in q&a section!!!!And yes you can flash viper4.0 but i would read up first so you know exactly what too do!!!
Sent from my HTC One!!!
no offense but if i were you i wouldn't be flashing anything. i'm assuming you don't know your way around an adb enviro. is your device rooted? bootloader unlocked? s-off?
read up and become familiar with these things then flash away
Also become familiar with forum rules, as posting this kind of question in a development section is asinine. Mods, can you move this to the proper place

After seeing on HTC's site[1] that there's currently no plans to bring Marshmallow to the Sprint E8, I started thinking about porting the M8 release myself. Is that what you're hinting at?
Based on the fact that the E8 is essentially just the M8 with a different camera setup, I still expect HTC to bring Marshmallow to the E8. The porting process shouldn't be that much extra work for them. Especially for the non-Sprint variants as they wouldn't have to go through the additional process of carrier certification and thus be even less work.
I forget how long the delay was between Sprint's M8 getting Lollipop and then the E8 getting it (a few months?), but the M8 Marshmallow update is out now so I'm thinking it might just require a little patience.

I already have Android MarshMallow ( 6.0.x ) kernel ported and compiled for the Sprint E8 and I'm waiting on mine to come in the mail as I ordered one this past week.... I promise I'll have GPE and Sense MM roms up before HTC even decides to update the e8 , just be patient as I didn't order one for no reason... Plus I rather risk my device before anyone else because I know how to properly port between msm8974 chipset... if you'd like you could be one of my tester... I can guarantee they will be flawless ports too.
Now the Dual SIM e8 I can port kernel for too , just would need a dual sim unit to make sure both sim slots work on each port... but dual sim variants I can't guarantee anything but I could help... and I believe dual sim variants are msm8975 chipset.

Count me in as a tester? Maybe you could do a cyanogen mod to? That would be way more worth it to me, unless this Rom would be bloat ware free, in which case......I'd squee xD
I would Gladly become a tester for the ROM on the E8. PM me with the details!
