IS the root procedure the same for the LTE version as it is for the Tegra 3 version?
Bump. No one knows?
No it's not the same. As far as I'm aware, there's no unlocked bootloader for the XL and probably won't be for awhile because there's a lot more attention on the X.

If I were to buy an unlocked AT&T One X to use on T-Mobile, would I be able to pick up T-Mobile's LTE after they roll it out in 2013?
Is the only difference between the AT&T version of the phone and the international version that the AT&T version only has a dual core chip but has LTE?
Edit: Also, what is the theoretical max speed of the HSPA+ of the chip on the AT&T phone? Is it the 42Mbps? (I live in a T-Mobile 42mbps market, so once they refarm to 1900MHz I'm wondering what I'll get at that time, before T-Mobile rolls out LTE)

It's a completely different processor, they are basically completely different phones that look similar.
You should ask your questions in the correct sub forum, as thus one is for the Tegra3
Can anyone give me some clarity as to what LTE Bands the Unlocked LTE USA Version of M8 supports?
Is it the same as the Developers versoin?
I cannot get a clear answer from HTC Tech support.... its unbelievable.
I work in Europe/Germany alot and am trying to find out if it will work there...
Or can someone run this CID checker against their unlocked USA edition?

From what I understand, yes. My understanding, the only difference between Unlocked and Dev Edition, is that the latter comes bootloader unlocked.
Whether the device works on LTE in Germany is a difficult question to answer. It seems that the more recent firmwares support more bands than the specs would suggest.
heres the lastest answer from HTC if anyone cares:
the LTE bands of Unlocked US version of HTC One M8 is 1900/2100 MHz.
though i have gotten 2 other answers before so who really knows.

I don't think that the info is correct. That is missing 3 of the 4 bands needed to make the phone work on AT&T in all markets (850. 700 & 1700); as well as missing 2 of the 3 needed on T-Mobile (700 and 1700).
Exactly... How does no one at HTC know this? I will email them back

I have found the info via android central:
http://www.androidcentral.com/developer-and-unlocked-htc-one-m8-ready-order
And speaking of networks, HTC has confirmed to us that the developer and unlocked versions are based off the AT&T SKU, meaning the bands line up in the following manner:
•2G: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
•3G WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps
•4G LTE: 700/850/AWS/1800/1900/2600 MHz
Finally got it figured out.
I'm looking to purchase an Unlocked Note 4 with LTE (will be used on AT&T)
There are so many different models of the Note 4 with LTE out there. I'm wanting the snapdragon 805 processor and LTE that will give me full LTE speeds on AT&T network.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
(I'd like to be able to run cyanogenmod on it if at all possible)
Thanks!
(edit)
My apologies, I meant to say a Factory Unlocked phone, with none of the bloatware loaded on it from the carriers.
If you've read at all on here you've seen that the AT&T version hasn't even been rooted yet. So installing cyanogenmod isn't an option on this one at this point. I've heard the tmobile one is the way to go if you want to do that.

There are no AT&T bootloader unlocked note 4. Sim unlock is easy, but most confuse the two.
Best alternative seems to be the tmo version, which is only missing a couple bands.
I have the choice between Unlocked US SD SM-975U1 or Unlocked Exynos Dual SIM SM-975F/DS to be use in the US with T-Mobile.
I want the best overall experience.
Which one will you go with?
Thanks
Do you want to root? If so choose the Exynos model.

Is there a performance difference between the Exynos and Snapdragon?
How would it work in the T-Mobile network? Any idea?
Are software updates received even if tje product is not a US model?
I appreciate the help
Thanks

Well yeah the Snapdragon is the superior model but can't be rooted.
I have the US unlocked version and all I did was pop my sim in and it works great.
I believe with non US model you have to flash the firmware to it to get them to work on US carriers.
It's really up to if you want root or not.

The N975F/DS will work fine on T-mobile. Took my N910F to US when I moved from EU to US, no problems identified as TMO uses GSM network (non cdma).
Be aware that you cannot flash US (TMO) firmware to N975F/DS.
the biggest issue is that you miss one of out 4 (ATT) or 5 (TMOB) bands. sometimes you may get very slow data
Thanks everyone
What variant should you buy if you want to root with att and has the Snapdragon processor? Bands would also have to work for signal

Anyone? Is it the f or the DS variant? Or maybe b?
I'm not positive but usually you need Exynos processor to root. That means you'll be the UK or International variant which is usually the F.
It's very unlikely there will be root for the Snapdragon processor if it's carrier unlocked, much less likely if it is at&t flavored. Those were the good old days.
I was planing on getting the note 10 5g before this phone and the "better" one was the China version... They had snapdragon devices rooted in those threads
