Root [International] Making an aussie HTC One thinks it's a UK HTC One

[doobscardiff]

Hi, I have an unlocked Australian HTC One that i want to use in the UK. Some apps like ITV Player and Sky Go seem to recognise that the phone is originally Australian and won't let me download the apps from the play store using my pc. Does anyone know any way i can make the phone appear as if it is from the UK? It currently appears as HTC_PN071. Is this the same model number as the UK? If not, is it possible to change it?

You could try editing the phones "fingerprint" in the build.prop. that used to work,but have no idea if it still does. If the phone is s off,you could try changing the cid and mid. I'm honestly not sure what aspect of the the play store looks at.

If you can obtain The .apks elsewhere,you always have the option to simply side load them
