Brief steps to convert HTC one to google edition

(This is only meant for taking notes for personal use. Please google for more information.)

This gives a rough idea about all those necessary steps to convert HTC one to google edition.

1. unlock bootloader (go to htcdev.com, will void warranty)
2. install cwm recovery (fastboot flash recovery), this is to root your phone (still HTC software)
3. root it (use CWM to install SuperSu zip)
4. make it S-OFF (security-off) (run http://rumrunner.us/, for HBOOT version 1.55)
5. change to super CID (fastboot oem writecid 11111111)
6. install google edition (follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781)

Now it's pure google. Still a nice phone indeed. All I need is actually a rooted one so that I can run Ubuntu on my phone. I converted it because I do prefer google edition which is cleaner.
