I have an unlocked edition HTC M8 with a GPE ROM running.
I would like to find the latest Rogers radio to flash to see if I can get better reception.
Where would I find it? Can I flash the radio even if I'm running a GPE ROM and my phone is not a Rogers M8?
Yes you can flash the radio, although I found issues flashing the non-GPe one on my EU M8. As for where to find the radio, good start is the Radios thread in Development...

What were the issues? Any change in signal strength?

WiFi issues (wouldn't find my 5GHz network), wouldn't get 4G/LTE in places it would otherwise...

Hi.
I have an unlocked Bell Desire Z with ENG HBOOT and S-OFF.
Also, It's running CyanogenMOD 7.
My radio is: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
I would like to update the RADIO with the latest to see if I get better signal or faster speeds on my network.
I have 3 questions.
1-. G2 and EU Desire Z radios work with Bell Desire Z (3G 850/1900)?
2-. If I update to 12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 or 12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30_M3_test_18 I , will I be able to go back to my default radio if I don't get better results?
3-. FASTBOOT is the way to flash RADIO, but what about REIL coorelation in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988557&highlight=radio
Is it something to consider?
Bye and thanks.
1. You can flash any DZ radio from any region. Some radios are region specific and may or may not reduce your signal quality.
2. You can always flash an older radio if you dont like the new one.
3. RIL matching is recommended but not truely necessary. I've done it afew times and i have not seen any good or bad from it.

We provide flashabel zips here with other radios:

would this also work with AOSP roms? or should i just flash the one in the shipped radio thread?
Hello everyone. I have a Verizon M8 (unlocked/S-off), and I have switched to AT&T.
In order for my phone to work, I loaded ARHD (great ROM, btw), as the ROM I was using while I was on VZW did not want to play nice with the AT&T SIM card.
Everything is now working except for WiFi and LTE.
Based on what I've read, LTE on AT&T ain't happening on my device due to lack of frequency band support. But the WiFi problem is likely related to firmware, and therefore (I assume), fixable.
Here's my question: is it possible after I SuperCID my phone, to install the WWE firmware to fix the WiFi problem? Or will this brick my phone?
Thanks!

If your phone is from V you should stick to Verizon firmwares and kernels. There may be exception, but as far as i know Verizon and Sprint phones have other differences from GSM variants, not only firmware and/or kernel etc. Yes, your device can be used WW, but i'm pretty sure you cannot convert to full WWE. I went so far that i used QPST configurator and RFNV manager to unlock all the bands of my phone and yet i can't get LTE to work. I do hope someone here prove me wrong, but for now i'm happy i can use my phone in eastern Europe.
Thanks for the input. I was afraid of that. So I guess I'm stuck until new VZW firmware gets released, and then maybe my WiFi will work?
I guess I could look for a ROM that is using a different base and try that.

WiFi not working could be kernel related. What kernel are you running - stock or something else. I'm using lunarkernel+viperrom.
When i read carefully, you didn't mention on what firmware you run ARHD
3.28.605.4

Well, it's the right one for the job. My guess is kernel is causing non working WiFi, but i could be wrong. Did you tried some custom kernels?
anyone has the problem with data connection? I am using 4.4.4 with ARHD 22.2. My carrier is H2O Wireless (belong to ATT) with 4G LTE plan but the network signal is poor when i go in some buildings (My friend using iPhone with the same carrier and plan does not meet this issue) and the data connection is always showed H (regardless where i am) so the speed is poor too. Are there anyone facing the same problem? I am thinking about switching to another roms

I think it is the ROM.
I Googled "ARHD 22.2" to see if it may be a Lollipop ROM and if it might be that your firmware needed to be updated from 4.4.4, but all I got with that search was wifi and data issues.
Flash a new one. If you wish to remain on a stockish ROM, flash MaximusHD. That's a solid one.
If you want to do some tweaks and mods with those options built into the ROM already, and available with a simple click, ViperOne is great.
I tried Lollipop rom before but the battery drain is a big issue to me thats why I switched back to Kitkat and its battery life is totally different. So which rom do you recommend for kitkat?

I don't have any battery drain issues with ViperOneM8 4.3.0 (Lollipop).

thanks man. how about your data connection? do you have 4g lte? If i want to install ViperOne 4.3 from Kitkat, do i need to flash firmware Lollipop first?

Yes, you would need Lollipop firmware. You could flash the 4.4.4 version instead if you want. That was really solid. You can download it from here.
My AT&T HTC One M8 is currently running the WNC Lollipop ROM, radio/baseband: 1.24.21331147A1.09G and main/OS 4.16.1540.8. Is there a later firmware I should apply before moving to (e.g.) the InsertCoin ROM? Where do I find newer ROMs for the CWS__001?

Its a tricky question, as AT&T seems to be in the process of making changes to their LTE network in preparation of Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) deployment (HD Voice, as they call it) and this seems to be playing havoc for some folks on "Euro" based custom ROMs. Namely, not having voice call service or SMS while on LTEin some locations.
I'm also on the 4.16.1540 firmware, and its been working fine with SkyDragon Sense 7 on AT&T's network. And in multiple locations, as I just travelled to 2 different cities (in addition to my home market) and everything has been working fine on LTE.
All I can say, is try the desired ROM with the current firmware. If you notice any issue then try another firmware. I don't know if anyone has posted the latest AT&T 4.28 firmware, but you might check the AT&T M8 section for it, if you want to try it. I imagine the 4.28 firmware includes some AT&T specific radio tweaks. Although newer is not always better.

You should be able to flash any ROM intended for the "GSM" M8 (stay away from ROMs intended for Verizon or Sprint). Check the specific ROM thread to see if AT&T is supported, or at least if other AT&T users have tried it, if you want to be safe.
But as mentioned, you may or may not see LTE issues on some ROMs due to some AT&T network-specific factors. These issues seem somewhat isolated (maybe location dependent?) and I don't think any of the devs have had much luck addressing the issue. So trial and error is the best I can tell you.
