Need help in identifying a compatible rom

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.

[Q] Flashing 1.54.401.5 on T-Mobile version

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.

Stock Rom

Hey everyone. I wanted to ask a question about the GPE HTC one m8. I was wondering if it's possible to put the stock HTC one m8 Rom on it. I've tried the stock Rom on the Verizon version and I liked it but am unsure if I can put the stock Rom on the gpe HTC one.
Anyone?

[Q] Sprint compatibility question

I have the Harmon and Kardon Sprint HTC M8. Is it ok to flash roms or RUUs to the Sprint model if it was intended for the international model? I know that for the M7 on AT&T flashing international roms was no problem, just wondering if its the same deal.
Another question. Does CM11 flash universally for all the M8s or is there separate roms for each model?

Only flash roms that say they are Sprint compatible. For instance viper is compatible with Sprint. Cm11 is one file for all but it still has bugs. Only flash Sprint ruu that is made for your phone which I don't know if there are any but plenty of backups out there if you forgot to make one.

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.
