[Q] Flash GPE RUU & Keep Service - Verizon HTC One (M7)

Since my JavaCard should be here in the next few days, I was wondering. Since the GPE One supports most of the bands the VZW One uzes , would flashing the GPE RUU (radios and all) keep me from using cellular data etc?

It would cool if it worked. If it was mine, I would be worried that if it didn't work, there is no stock RUU to flash. You would basically be forced to get a replacement. I would hold off until there is a stock RUU available.

NO this will not work. It is GSM, bands dont exactly matter here.

The GPE HTC One supports the GSM versions of those particular frequency bands, NOT the CDMA ones. I know it sounds absurd, considering they're the same frequency but when you're dealing with different protocols between GSM & CDMA you don't want to potentially ruin your phone or put yourself in a place where your phone will be hard to recover.

From Samsung phones, Question about HTC M8 models

Hi guys,
I am been for while on Samsung phones and bought M8 yesterday. Samsung had phones like S4 with different Hardware and Model numbers based on Carrier and Region. The ROMs are different to flash.
Is that the same case for M8? I bought M8 from Australia (Unlocked) and thinking to flash GPE. Will that be problem?
Thanks in advance
Bump!!!!

As far as I know, yes, but the differences tend to be minor. I can already tell from your signature here that we have a different phone. I also believe that there is much less variety in the hardware than what the model number would suggest (i.e. phones with different model numbers may be identical).
AFAIK, the M8s sold in Asia should be clocked at 2.5 GHz instead of 2.3, although this shouldn't make any noticeable difference.
Thank you for the reply.
Can I install GPE on device? As far I know it 2.5gHz clocked.

I believe you can, as I can't recall hearing any major limitations about the GPE conversion. I am not sure anyway, I have no experience with the GPE. This is likely to be explained on the GPE conversion thread, just look for it. Good luck.

Flashing different carrier's roms

Hey guys, since T-Mobile has unlocked bootloader, are you guys able to flash other carriers roms like at&t?
I'm only asking because im on an AT&T model, but eventually want to flash T-Mobile roms once our bootloader is unlocked for wifi calling.

It would require some tweaking, but in the base idea, yes, they're all the same (with different radios and likely different kernels). You'll want to just wait a little bit and have devs port to the other models. However, your goal of getting wifi calling likely won't work. Maybe I've been out of the loop, but last I checked the app registers your phone number with the T-Mobile network so it knows where to forward calls/texts to. So it more than likely won't work for AT&T/Verizon. I believe Sprint has it now, but same method.

hi sorry, i left out a big important detail. I'm on t-mobile lol. so it would work for me. This is my first lg phone, and i've been on many other phones where we can easily cross flash carriers without the need of porting the roms. I was under the impression that the at&t model was slightly different? i should revisit that again just to be sure.
I was hoping if there was any hard evidence or experience that someone did flash an at&t rom without any hiccups. That'll mean we can do it vice versa.
Thanks for the info.
On other phones this has been possible, I would wait for a definite answer, or make sure you have a backup ready just in case you do try it...
I am on Verizon and I was also wondering if I can flash a T-mobile rom without the risk of an hard brick. I can take the risk of a SW brick.
Why would you want to do this
I'd be careful, there are probably significant differences, you can't use a vz phone on tmo network.

I'm pretty certain that all Vzw phones come unlocked and can be used on t-mobile. Might not get all the bands to work correctly, but will still work.
Vz runs a cdma network for voice and data, t-mobile runs gsm. Some phones can do both, eg Verizon's world phones, but by no means all of them. YMMV

If it is 4g it should be a "world" phone.
Here's the details: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6991
While the G3 isn't listed, the G2 is so I would assume it will work.
I have flashed a Verizon rom on my T-Mobile phone and almost everything worked fine. You'll need to adjust the apn and delete Bluetooth apn as it fc. The OP stated that he will most likely make a patch to fix the problems

I don't know for sure, but I think our mount points are different. Why would you want to flash a ul firmware? The wlv firmware is SIM unlocked and you can use any SIM in it.

As I said, it may cause your phone to be a brick. You can use a Verizon one on any network, just input your carrier APN with your carrier's SIM. You can install any GPE or aosp Rom and it will not have Verizon apps on it iirc.

I honestly don't think so. A: the radios are different. The Verizon one doesn't support any 4G band except 700mhz 13 and it only supports certain hspa and edge frequencies. So it isn't the same hardware wise.
@santod040 might be able to verify my assumption that flashing an international firmware can possibly brick your device.

The firmware from international model will not work, as to it bricking...........no idea on that note(i don't see any reason to find out either, since it won't work for sure). But I know that only VZW firmware will work on the m7vzw. As Uzephi said - the hardware is different.
No it will not work and you will most likely brick by flashing international firmware onto a Verizon one. The radio hardware is different thus making the firmware totally different. Do not do it.

google play also did not go?,develomper edition?
Santod takes the rom from those devices and ports it to this device. Firmware is a totally different beast altogether.

I have an unlocked GSM Verizon HTC One, I plan on moving it to ATT.

Should I install an ATT ROM? and will I lose my unlock if I install a custom ROM?
Verizon one comes SIM unlocked out of the box. Are you talking about the bootloader unlock?
The 6500LVW (m7wlv) is a global phone, not GSM/CDMA. Only service you will get with ATT or any other US GSM carrier is edge speeds. Our HSPA radio only supports international carriers and our 4G radio only supports 700mhz band 13, not the AWS every other carrier uses.

It says that it is the HTC One M7UL
Then it isn't a Verizon HTC one. Go to the other section in this forum for international variants. In bootloader, it would say m7wlv if it was a Verizon HTC one.

It says Verizon on the back of the phone and is running Verizon firmware though
Then it shouldn't say m7_ul a Verizon branded m7 is m7wlv. Whoever you bought it from probably flashed the UL firmware which will cause all sorts of issues for you if it truly is a Verizon m7
