Hi guys,
I have an imported 32gb Taiwanese M8x, FA serial.
It unlocked, s-off's and has a GPE rom running. Its blazing and it works on all Telstra frequencies.
My question is what is different about the M8x vs the regular M8?
Its it an LTE-A version?
Oh and I got it because the two Chinese made versions has terrible screens.

Yes, All international ROM can be flash on M8X should be no difference other than country.
CPU is clocked slightly higher on the M8x. Also, I think some folks with the M8x have failed trying to flash radios for other M8 versions.

Don't worry about radio - I am UK Vodafone 4G and the RUU works perfectly with 4G
What are the benefits/differences between Dev Ed Sense handset and "normal" Sense handset, apart from earlier OTA updates ?

Dev edition comes with an unlocked bootloader, that is all
And no carrier bloat

Ok, thanks.
So, being as my m8 is s-off, unlocked and not carrier locked (HTC--001), there would be no real benefits it converting it to a de version ?
Thanks

Hi, Can anyone answer if international roms/custom roms will work with Hong Kong variant? I have recently bought it from a seller here, who told me that its an international variant, and that its not locked like Verizon M8, so, i decided to buy it and now, when i have researched about it, i have come to know that it has different processor altogether and that i may have to flash radio files in order to get it in working state after i am done installing roms/kernels.
Please help, as i really wanted a device with good dev support and i feel really bad as i think this device wont support all the goodies which are available in development section.
If it is a HKG variant with CID HTC__622, should not be a problem.
After you got it, make sure to do OTA up to 4.18.708.12 before you start modding it with custom ROM/kernel.
All the goodies which are available in development section should work fine on it as long as you updated it first.

Thank you, I have verified and it has same CID as you mentioned above.
Now, my question is: Can it be converted to GPE or flashed with kernels/roms found in development section? The processor is different as its AC variant of the MSM8974 Snapdragon 801 processor instead of AB variant of 801, will not that make it incompatible with those roms/kernels/etc? I suppose bootloader can be unlocked without any issues? Is there a guide or something which shows how to handle things differently on this version?

Everything will be possible and nothing needs to be handled differently. I have the 2.5Ghz Indian variant, same internals as you.

If you want to convert to GPE then you need S-OFF ! Otherwise you have to stick with custom GPE roms

i don't know, i do not have your phone ! Try it......it won't cost a thing if it does not work. The phone will be checked before proceding with the s-off process.
If it does not work i do not have any alternative ! So no s-off for you in that case........

so, after i s-off using sunshine, will it be back on by htc or it will stay that way unless i want s-on? What i have read about S-Off is that its only useful if i want to flash GPE roms or HK audio mod, which is pointless i think since m8 has good audio quality via headphones if you turn off boomsound, i mean, i am all for good quality audio playback but i am not sure if my FLAC collection will benefit from the audio mods since those work best on compressed audio files because of the restorative properties.

Once s-off it will indeed stay s-off until you give her commands to put it back s-on.
You didn't need s-off for GPE roms, only if you want to CONVERT to GPE with a RUU !
Audio mods i do not have experience with, mine is fine without it

Yes, you can use the same ROMs, use the international ones.

Ok will try.
The AT&T version already supports most of the frequencies/bands used on T-Mobile.
As I understand it, the AT&T version is missing AWS support for 3G/3.5G and VoLTE support on band 4 and 12.
Is it possible to flash the AT&T version with the T-Mobile radio so that it can be used on T-Mobile without any issues?
PS: I would also plan to flash custom developer edition ROMs. As I understand it is possible to flash the AT&T version to accept those. Is that correct?
To convert your AT&T M9 to Developer Edition go here

But if you're S-Off then yes you can flash a Tmobile radio but I'd do a nandroid backup first

Couple of quick questions:
1. Can I go S-OFF with any M9?
2. Does flashing the radio actually change the bands and VoLTE?
I haven't bought it yet and want to figure this out before I pull the trigger.
AT&T M9 I know you can S-Off via Sunshine. Idk about any M9 but the website will tell what M9's are supported.
Idk what the flashing the T-Mobile radio actually does but should get better reception.

If you have not purchased it yet, Get the T-mobile version and everything will work for sure.

Awesome. Why didn't I think of this?
How do I get ATT to subsidize a T-Mobile phone?
