I have AT&T flavor of m8. I have heard that people are flashing roms from international versions to AT&T versions. Something like this used to be a big no no.
1. Can someone please help me in identifying how is this possible?
2. Which ROMs from this m8 forum can I install on my AT&T version?
I'm S_offed.

I have the att m8 which I converted fully to gpe...can't go back to sense till ruu's become available later if I wanted to...anyway the reason international Roms work is because the att version is pretty much the same hardware as international/gpe... Any ROM from the international side will work... Before I did the ruu gpe conversion...I ran viper arhd insert coin virtuous renovate on my att m8 with no issues.

Ok, I really want to try a few roms from international section. Is there any rom that I have to avoid?

As you are s-off, could you not update your cid and firmware? Then you are free to flash any rom.
I'm not really clued up on carrier branded phones through so I could be mistaken.

I was wondering if modem or any driver component meant for specific version of hardware is included in Rom, and I flash it over to AT&T version, then will it not be a problem? But I think it really not is an issue.

CID/MID has nothing to do with roms, the only time this comes into play is if you are trying to OTA or RUU back to stock, RUU and OTA check the CID/MID and determine whether or not the model is compatible with that particular OTA/RUU... As for modems, generally roms do not include radios/basebands, most roms are just system/boot, if a radio is included it is more then likely stated in the Devs OP, also with S-Off its easy enough to fix radio issues should you run into this. As I said the ATT variant is based off the international and gpe variant hence any rom will work.
You don't need to update the firmware. You can flash any gsm Rom. They pretty much all have the att apn but if not just manually input it.

I am thinking about buying a One M8 and I was just wondering if one can install the Google Play Edition on a regular One M8, if I am not happy with the Sense Gui and want a plain Android?
Also what will I be missing, if any, if I install the GPE?

Yes. You'll lose sense features. There's a couple threads about it already. Xda has a nifty search feature.

This. I'm running this myself and it kicks ass. Every bit as smooth as Sense in my case.
Why are you guys linking a page for GSM phones only in a Verizon m8 section? Has it been moded so you can get the ota updates with the Verizon variants now?
No. But all gsm One m8s can flash any gsm rom. If you change the Cid/mid or supercid and flash stock recovery you can receive otas for the variant you flashed. Though, most devs incorporate the updates from otas into their roms fairly quickly.
Suffice it to say I never really understood people's obsessions with getting otas right as their released.

So whenever an android update is released, there will be a new gpe rom available to download shortly thereafter? Or will there just be an update for the gpe rom?
Thanks
Yes there will be updates, it might be a full rom or OTA, depends on the dev. And normally you get it before it would be pushed from the carrier anyway

Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered. I did search, but couldn't find a response.
I am wondering if I can flash stock 1.54.401.5 (such as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994) onto my T-Mobile version of the M8. I have read that there are some differences with the hardware, such as an extra radio band on the T-Mobile M8. I've flashed ROMs before, but I still don't understand the nuances of firmware vs. kernels, radios, etc. I'm rooted and have TWRP, so the question is not HOW to do it, but WHETHER to do it.
Can I get a stock 1.54.401.5 or am I stuck waiting until T-Mobile sends the OTA?
Flash one with T-Mobile WiFi calling. Since I love pure such I made my own ROM, works fine on T-Mobile.

SmiLey, do you have a link to one? The one I linked is the only pure ROM I could find.
So the new ARHD 9.1 requires the 4.4.3 firmware (2.12.401.3). Has anyone with T-mobile m8 have any issues flashing this firmware? I ask because the last time i flashed a fw it bricked my phone doing the same methods i've always done on previous phones.
You have 4.4.3 on your T-Mobile M8? I only have 4.4.2

No, I was asking if anybody with a T-Mobile m8 has flashed the 2.X firmware since its required to run any Rom based off the leaked 4.4.3 build
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would advise against it. I ran ARHD up to version 8.1 on the 1.57 T-Mobile firmware just fine. But I'm not going to flash FW designed for different hardware just to run a leaked and most likely incomplete version of android 4.4.3.
I'd advise to wait for T-Mobile to release their official 4.4.4 update and flash that firmware. Then you should have no issue running the most up to date version of ARHD. Until then just stick to 8.1.

I'd advise against it. Just wait until T-Mo releases their firmware along with 4.4.4.

You can flash the international FW. I did. Worked with android revolution and a few aosp ROMs without a problem. Make sure you supercid first in order for your phone to take a different FW. I run 2.10
As said above, you can flash other firmware, I myself was using the international as well. Just be aware that you'll lose wifi calling.

Here be the latest tmobile US firmware for the htc 10 - https://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10-t-mobile/news/. I myself flashed the US unlocked/developer firmware, but that requires S-off and changing your CID. Im pretty sure either firmware set will be ok for any current rom you wish to flash, as most require version 1.80.x atleast. If you plan on keeping to stock rom, I would for sure recommend flashing the unlocked/dev firmware due to less bloat, even though the tmobile firmware is pretty clean. Good luck
