Dear HTC J One users,
Unfortunately there are not enough users of HTC J One (also known as HTL22 / M7_WLJ) to lobby a dedicated thread, so I decided to post this info thread with information about the device, root options and custom roms available so far.
The credit goes to all the devs who made it possible. I will provide links and credits, but please let me know if i missed someone.

Thread Moved to General
Just so you're aware, I've moved this thread from Q&A over to General as it's more suited over here and won't fall down the list so quickly. It would keep getting completely buried in Q&A due to all the threads being created

I am not experienced so muchg with bricks unfortunately. Seems to be hard brick from what you said. Can you take it to AU shop? or are you outside Japan?
Try to look for info about normal (non-japanese) HTC One brick problems - they are 99% same phones - so it might help
Hi people. Nice to see some information about this phone.
@umka83
What ROM did you use from the list in your first post? Can you confirm, that sd-card working.

I like most the latest 4.4 Beta ROM with 6.0 Sense, but I am using 4.2 right now because i need saifu keitai and some other japanese features that have bugs.
As soon as I go home from Japan , i will be using latest beta...

Hi. I am now visiting relatives in Japan, and was thinking of changing my old Samsung Nexus S...
I like the quality of service here, and I guess I can buy a used keitai with much confidence.
So I was thinking about this one,as I can find it here for about 25.000 yens, but I am wondering if I will be able to use it normally abroad, with almost all the features.
For example, can you run the 4.2 rom in english ? is it convenient ? One-seg feature is exclusively for japan I guess, right ?
If you think there is another high quality phone that can be bought here, please advise :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

hello,
I have this phone HTC J One (htll 22) and I use it everywhere in Europe witout problem. To answer your questions:
1) You can Run 4.2 Rom in English, French, German, Ukrainian and many other languages. You can swith to English easily via Menu>Language and Locale > English, to swith to other languages, you need MoreLocale app and root.
2) One-seg is Japan only. No other country has this type of waves.
3) You can wait for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is coming in 3-4 month (it will be quite expensive at first). Otherwise, i beleive HTC J One is the best phone on Japanese market right now. Maybe Nexus is worth a look.
4) Yes, you can buy a used phone from Yahoo auctions for about 25000 or you can buy from http://www.Zenmarket.jp, even if you are abroad. Also, I have a slightly used rooted and sim-unlocked spare phone (PM me if you are interested)
5) to use the phone abroad, you need S-OFF, Root, and Sim-unlock. it is a pain, but it can be done if you are familiar with ADB and other stuff.
6) Is it convenient? I did not like the BlinkFeed thing. So I installed another launcher. Otherwise, it is a great, durable, very good looking phone. I am not going to change it for now.
HTL22 Sim Card Not Detected
I have HTL22 (HTC J ONE) and I've followed this forum to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install custom mods, S-Off and all, but I've had problem with phone not detecting a sim card.
I've tried many custom roms, and none have worked and i even bought a sim unlock code from one of the websites, however I couldn't figure out how to put that in as the roms do not ask me to enter a code.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you in Japan? Did you buy your phone from auctions?
if answer to both questions is yes - you might be a victim of IMEI - lock by AU. This happense when the first owner of the phone is not paying for the phone, and thus phone becomes locked.
Your phone will work ust fine outside of Japan, but in Japan IMEI number is blacklisted. Changig IMEI in Japan is legal (unlike in many countries) but there is no easy way to change it. And it is not allowed to discuss methods for changing IMEI on this board
How to root HBOOT 1.54

wow.. this is news to me.. i was planning to buy HTL22 or Sc-01F from Amazon.. After reading abt IMEI lock, i am rethinking again..
how can anyone know beforehand if the phone is IMEI locked or not??
1) ask the seller what is IMEI number. If they do not give you the number, most likely it is blocked already
2) when you have the number go to
https://au-cs0.kddi.com/FtHome
http://nw-restriction.nttdocomo.co.jp/search.php
https://ct11.my.softbank.jp/WBF/icv...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=79683988
3) input your IMEI in the search field and clik on CHECK (KAKUNIN)
4) if the result is ○ then no problem, if the result is △ There is a possiblility the phone will be blocked if the user stops paying the fees, and if the result is × - the phone is already blocked.
No news for 1.54 hboot? Im on Mexico and ther would be a lot of problems with duties to send and receive feom Japan.

Been asked already, get to search!

1. Flash CWM for 9100.
2. In cwm flash root.
3. Flash Gapps package of your choice.
You'll likely need a VPN connection to actually log in / create a Google account. Otherwise it'll seem like there's no connection.

Does anyone know the timeline for 6.0 for Hong Kong? It seems like it's everywhere else but HK.
Good evening, how are you?
I believe this for a problem I have, they brought me to release a cell, which I released with Galaxy toolbox (A Galaxy Young 5360L)
Now tell me 'emergency calls only' me imei (right) appears, I walk the wi fi, and others ..
But not walk me with any company, what could be causing this? If I would have imei appears not to have problems?
I hope they can give us a hand, Thanks in advance.

If you want me to help you then you will need to write in full understandable English
I understand this is not everyone's 1st language but I'm sorry I simply don't understand what you are saying other than you have no phone network
Assuming that the sim works & the phone has been correctly unlocked & is able to use the sim the only thing you can do is flash stock rom via odin - see my firmware thread links in signature
Hi guys, I have this S4 GT-I9506 simlocked by Vodafone Spain. The issue is that I can't get it unlocked, all the free methods from the GT-I9505 don't work (by the way, I also have a GT-I9505 and succesfully unlocked it with one of those methods), also tried the paid company Doctor-SIM to get an unlock code, but they gave me back the money as they couldn't provide it. I also requested Vodafone for the code, but being the crappy company it has always been, they "have send a request to the phone manufacturer for the code, please stand by" 5 months ago...
Already searched all the threads, googled it, tried everything...
An Android version 4.2 and 4.3 are listed on sammobile (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4-lte-a/GT-I9506/ATL/), but not aviable to download (and yes, looked for it not only on the Vodafone Spain filter, but also on quite a lot of them), and so far couldn't find them to download. May one of the tricks from the i9505 work on any of them??
Is true I found this: https://www.needrom.com/download/i9506-xxuamhe_vfgamh4_v4-2-2_repair_firmware/ It claims to be Android 4.2.2 for the i9506, but I don't really trust that ROM. I know that as far as you can get to download mode you can install any original ROM / Recovery, done it hundreds of times, but still I don't know if this ROM may break my phones ability to get into dowload mode (just seems odd that lots of people have issues unlocking this terminal and in none of the threads I read this ROM is mentioned at all).
Of course, I also looked on other Android forums, but no luck.
Thanks, and if this was already answered or something, sorry, but couldn't find it :angel: (wich is strange given how long simlock discussions are about the S4).
After the 5 months, long time after I gave up waiting for Vodafone providing me the liberation codes, they just send me an e-mail with them this morning. Phone liberated and working normally now.
