If I unlock an AT&T HTC M8, would I still use the AT&T based roms even though its unlocked on another carrier or would I now use unlocked based roms?
You can use any

No it won't. Both the att and unlocked share the same hardware

Ur positive it won't damaged the phone? Doesn't each provider phone have a different set of radios and radio keys?

I'm doing the same. I'm telling you from experience.
The ROMs do not include radios. The radio can only update by an RUU, OTA or by flashing it separately.
All international ROMs (not RUU) WILL work on the AT&T edition.
Also if you want AT&T specific features or bloat you can while installing certain ROMs choose AT&T as the model. ( eg in insert coin or ARHD ROMs you get an option to choose the phone model )
Personally I have an AT&T model but I am using the international version on it since I don't want the AT&T bloat

Ok so if it's an HBoot update or RUU update with the radios, it will have to be AT&T but for just the Rom itself, I can use the unlocked versions?

Yep

How come I see som roms from AT&T with 1.58.210 or something like that and other roms from the unlocked forum with 1.54.210.10?

The rom base used in the unlocked forums are different from that used in the att forum.
Unlocked forums use the international base not the att base.

So I can still use the international "unlocked" forum roms?

Probably, but this is the international OneX forum. You need the OneXL forum here.
I figured since hers is now unlocked I would come here.....:/

The hardware of the two devices is very different. So even though you have unlocked your AT&T version HOX, you will still have to refer to the AT&T HOX forums.

shouldnt have bought the intl. version.
What do you mean? The s4 has wifi calling. Besides, the International version is running on a different processor.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
No, they have completely different cpu's. Flashing a firmware from one another will cause a hard brick.
Bottom line: No it will NOT work. You need to head on over to the international variant of the S4. :highfive:
So I know all Verizon lte phones a're unlocked now. So how can I get 4g and mms on mines. When I was using my Verizon iPhone 5 and my Verizon note 2 on metropcs they were working great. But now with my one it doesn't wanna work all I get is edge no mms. Everything else works great like sms calls voice mail etc. Would flashing something help? Please help.

you be better of using it on tmobile if anything
which apns did you put in
Well, the Verizon one may be unlocked, so you can put almost any SIM in it and have it work, but the hardware does not support all bands of LTE and/or frequencies.

yeah found out unlocked htc one dont really support tmobile/metropcs basebands well
Could always trade someone a Verizon HTC one for a t mo HTC one. Just because it's the same phone doesn't mean it has the same internals.

If the phone is AT&T, you will need to put in a different carrier sim , it will ask you to enter the code.

The Tmobile M9 and S6 need to be unlocked differently. You need to have paid for the phone in full and had tmobile service for 40 days. Then call tmobile and they'll unlock it.
If you want to get around that you have to flash a international rom (its in the dev section) and then you can use your code.
Side note...I thought you had tmobile?
