Yes the unicom version of HTC 816w is sim unlocked
Play store is not available by default but the handset can be rooted & play store can be installed easily
only one issue is that blink feed sources are all in chinese
so the only option is to turn off blink feed for now until someone makes a english patch for blinkfeed source

make sure fast boot option is disabled in settings-power
or
try booting to hboot via "adb reboot bootloader command" in adb

Bricked Desire 816 dual sim
Hello guys, I bricked my htc desire 816 dual sim mobile international version. Please can anyone help to get me a stock rom international version so that I can bring back my mobile back. I bought just few days ago and become greedy in rooting that phone and in the process, I bricked it. Although, i successfully managed to install the custom recovery, my mobile booting into that custom recovery repeatedly rather than booting into home screen. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
Sorry for obviously being a noob. I am from Western Europe but bought my HTC Desire 816 in China and of course, as expected, there are no Google apps on it and even when I install Google Play store manually it doesn't launch the app.
I am thinking about whether or not I can put a different rom on the phone, a European (Dutch) one, or how does that work ?
Can anyone give me some advise please
Thanks!

Now you have the European version too from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52995489. But this is a single sim version. If you or anyone happen to find the dual sim english version, that would be of very help for me as I have soft bricked it recently and unable to find the RUU for that.

Sorry to hijak, but guidogsbn - where did you get your M8 Dual SIM?
I live in thailand and ordered one from ebay - the model I got was the M8d - which appears to be CDMA Sim 1 and GSM Sim 2 - which is not what I need. I need Sim 1 and Sim 2 to be both GSM
I am told by the vendor that he has a solution to the problem and I need to send the phone back - but I dont believe there is any software solution to this and it means a complete change of device
So is your Dual sim both GSM? What is the model code on the device? Where did you buy it from - preferably website in english
Thanks

I can't talk about dual SIM version as mine is a single SIM version.
For single SIM, yes all hardware almost the same except the processor.
And all custom ROMs and unlock work the same as other Int'l GSM M8.
For dual SIM ... none of the custom ROM made for single SIM work on it.
So .. which is yours ? Single SIM or dual SIM ?
I don't think I have dual SIM...I have a place in the left upper side for SIM and right upper side for ad card.. and what's the differences in the processorsthank for the replies I'm really nervous here :/

Yours is a single SIM like mine.
No need to worry too much on processor thing. HTC release a few type of processor to certain region.
Most important, take note the software version no. in settings - about
and make a backup before you do anything else like installing a custom ROM

There's a new update to 2.22.709.4 for your device.
Check for software update first before you do unlocking (settings - about - software update)

Hello, I have the HTC One m8d (dual sim) international version. (EU I guess)
I have installed cm14.1 after having cm13, I had a problem with the network signal bars and still do as they go away and I need to restart my device, after googling and looking everywhere looks like the modem crashes and I need to update it, the problem is I looked everywhere and I can't find the modem to flash on my phone using fastboot, can anyone help me please?
thanks in advance.:crying:
the GPS is not working also, it gets position based on network but never accurate over satellite
Dear Mate you are a xda member since Dec 2013 & still put an help thread in developer section, why bro ?

You can't manually flash the modem/radio unless you have s-off.
Better bet, is to see if the dual SIM M8 has an RUU (I don't know if it does, or from a free source).
Hi, just pay $25 for sunshine and s-off (don't think about it)
Update will solve your problems.
LineageOS 14 working great on my dual sim :good:
