I'm looking at the radio thread and I'm wondering which one to choose for my device. I know that the GSM is what I want but does it matter which one? I'm using a Telus hero in the US on AT&T HSPA. Also should I just grab the newest one or are some better than others? I'm running the Modaco 3.0 ROM.
use this one

We are still waiting on the first update from Telus to extract the official radios.. its probably going to happen when they update for 2.1 but these ones work fine, no issues to report
That update made my downloads MUCH MUCH faster. thanks!

Looking to put a better rom than the stock, bloated one that came from US Cellular. I'm in the states, and every working rom I find seems to allow calls or data and can't connect to my network. What's the best rom to run on my phone?
Bump, anyone? I read somewhere I need to flash the radio to get it to work, but I don't know where to find the file for the radio to be flashed. I wouldn't mind using the cyanogen mod even with it's horrible tearing issues if I can get the phone to actually work.

I am Having The Same Problem With My WS I am Also On Us Cellular And Would Love To Hear If There Is A Fix For This yet
curious
US Cellular is CDMA, right? If so, you want to look into PRL rather than radio. Stock radio should be fine... PRL [if your downloaded rom supports it] is what will get your data working I think. Also, when you guys power up into hboot does it show marvelc or marvelct? If either of you two care to, pm me and I'll try to work a rom up fot you.

Test Rom
Working up a test rom for US Cellular. Will send it to my contributor first to test; If all goes well, I'll start a thread over in the development section for you guys.

Hey guys... tested the "stock" rom I made for you guys, and it works on VM USA as well. I don't suppose anyone would be brave enough to test the VM USA one on their US Cellular phone [of course make nandroid before test, then flash back to it on conclusion]? It sucks really; VM disabled FM Radio and Wifi Hotspot [which I am re-enabling for a final release on that thread... but I think I'll build on your rom... It's just cleaner. Probably will make a debranded thread so the "stock" threads can fade down the development thread. So ideas of what you guys would like to see?
ie
Odexed and/or Deodexed?
Apps that should be added?
ie Terminal Emulator, Adobe Flash [full to replace lite], WiFi tether, etc.
Bloat you'd like removed?

Tested the Vm Rom on my us cellular worked fine. Was weird seeing the Vm boot up. But like u said no fm n WiFi hotspot on it sux. Now as for wut I would like to see for a new Rom. Data2sd would be nice I know I have seen that after awhile it starts to lag a bit. But I would still like to have the option to use it or least test it. Unbranded. Deodex. All the stock uscell apps can go cuz I never use em anyways but if Ur building off my original Rom I think the only uscell app I hadn't removed already was tone room deluxe. And like I had said to you earlier once I get going on my own Rom and get better at it. We can just go hog wild

This may have been asked before, but I didn't find the answer when I searched. I'm using a stock 2.3.4 Inc2 in GSM mode overseas (sim-unlocked, but no other changes). Are the ROM updates generally available to users of phones that are no longer activated on the Verizon network? Has HTC made Inc2 updates available in the past on their website (I see instructions there now, but no downloadable files)? I want to make sure that GSM telephony and data work well, so I am hesitant to flash new ROMs, but I do want to try out ICS when it is available with all the bells and whistles.

i dont believe that officially htc/verizon releases RUU's or any way to upgrade w/o using the verizon ota system
but stock roms like gingerbangsense "s" and bonestock for rooted users do the same thing essentially...but you need to be either s-off or htc dev unlock
I'm currently running the official 4.0.3 Telus OS on my T989D and I'm looking at trying out some other ROMs, my question has two parts:
Is it correct that I have to install the Telus Radio first (T989DTLLE4)?
Are there any recommended ROMs for Telus users or will any T-Mobile T989 mod work so long as I use the Telus radio? (Mod recommendations would be appreciated!)
Through trial and error it looks like it doesn't seem to matter the order so long as the preferred radio is installed. If I'm incorrect please let me know.

1) You don't have to install the telus radio before installing a rom. None of the roms that I know of flash a new radio, they just use the one that you had previously (in this case the TLLE4 radio). Also, any radio available here will work with the T989D, and will work with all roms. So you can try flashing different ones and see which works best for you, unless you are happy with the stock radio.
2) Just like with radios, any rom will work. the T989D is the same phone as the T989. However, for stability reasons I recommend that you stick with roms that are based on stock telus/kood/t-mobile. Here are a few that I've tried and would highly recommend (currently running darthstalker)
Darthstalker
Jedi Knight
Koodo V4
Xtremeperia
happy flashing!
Thanks four the links! I am currently running the Koodo 4.0.4 v.4 that is working well. One thing I was having problems with was having the phone pull the wrong APN settings for the Koodo mod as I am a Telus user. At first I couldn't get data service but I got it sorted thanks to another user posting the solution being manually entering the APN settings for Telus.
I will try out the ROMs you linked, thanks for your suggestion!

Hello all, I've been following the M8 forum for a few weeks in anticipation of getting a new phone on May 8th. I have a bit of a noob question though, one that I've been unable to find the answer to myself.
Which version of ARHD 5.0 should I install on a T-Mobile HTC One M8? I've been following their thread for a while and intend to unlock/root/install ARHD within a few days of getting the device. I see mentions of the international version as well as different versions for each US carrier. My understanding is that GSM carriers can install international versions whereas CDMA carriers must install their specific variants.
If my understanding is correct and you are able to install the international version or the T-Mobile version, then what is the difference?
I appreciate any help. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to rooting and flashing roms, but I'm coming from a VZW Galaxy Nexus where it was pretty much idiot proof. I've been running the same ROM for so long that I know exactly how to flash it each time a new update is released. It didn't have specific variants because the ROM was designed specifically for the VZW Gnex. So I'm a little confused by the different variants and want to make sure I don't mess anything up a week after I get the phone.
Again, thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me wade through my confusion.
You can flash any GSM variant.
The differences will be whatever the carrier has done to tweak their version of the roms, included apps, tweaked settings, signal icons etc.

Thank you for confirming that. While I was like 90% sure, it's better to have someone confirm that for me.
My AT&T HTC One M8 is currently running the WNC Lollipop ROM, radio/baseband: 1.24.21331147A1.09G and main/OS 4.16.1540.8. Is there a later firmware I should apply before moving to (e.g.) the InsertCoin ROM? Where do I find newer ROMs for the CWS__001?

Its a tricky question, as AT&T seems to be in the process of making changes to their LTE network in preparation of Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) deployment (HD Voice, as they call it) and this seems to be playing havoc for some folks on "Euro" based custom ROMs. Namely, not having voice call service or SMS while on LTEin some locations.
I'm also on the 4.16.1540 firmware, and its been working fine with SkyDragon Sense 7 on AT&T's network. And in multiple locations, as I just travelled to 2 different cities (in addition to my home market) and everything has been working fine on LTE.
All I can say, is try the desired ROM with the current firmware. If you notice any issue then try another firmware. I don't know if anyone has posted the latest AT&T 4.28 firmware, but you might check the AT&T M8 section for it, if you want to try it. I imagine the 4.28 firmware includes some AT&T specific radio tweaks. Although newer is not always better.

You should be able to flash any ROM intended for the "GSM" M8 (stay away from ROMs intended for Verizon or Sprint). Check the specific ROM thread to see if AT&T is supported, or at least if other AT&T users have tried it, if you want to be safe.
But as mentioned, you may or may not see LTE issues on some ROMs due to some AT&T network-specific factors. These issues seem somewhat isolated (maybe location dependent?) and I don't think any of the devs have had much luck addressing the issue. So trial and error is the best I can tell you.
