Yes, it is unlocked, typically w/ T-Mobile's frequencies, but it gets LTE on AT&T as well. The bootloader is unlocked along w/ S-Off so the phone can have new roms placed upon it. If you want the best of developer roms or custom roms, you cannot go wrong with the GPE or Dev Edition.

What about running international .401 firmware on an S-Off Unlocked supercid T-Mobile USA Branded m8?

IIRC, the dev edition is unlocked with ATT and TMO LTE frequencies but lacks TMO's 1700mhz HSPA/UMTS frequency.
Also, the phone is shipped with an unlocked bootloader but no S-OFF.
So as far as the differences between a regular m8 and a dev m8 goes, there is no bloat, ships with an unlocked bootloader and retains warranty with the unlocked bootloader where as a regular m8 would have lost it's warranty upon unlocking the bootloader.

The TMO branded m8 would have the 1700mhz HSPA band which tmobile has used far longer than it's refarmed 1900mhz HSPA band.
As far as the s-off and unlocked bootloader goes for the tmo version, you would have lost your warranty through the bootloader unlock but can have the a totally re-locked without evidence bootloader with some commands in HBOOT.
The dev edition would still have it's warranty with the unlocked bootloader but not with s-off. However, you can set s-off to s-on with the unlocked bootloader and still have your warranty.

Can you flash a T-Mobile radio on the dev edition to enable T-Mobile 3G in non-refarmed areas?

HTC M8 - Unlocked version

I was thinking of getting the developer edition, however it doesn't have the silver version. So I am wondering if S-off and unlocked bootloader has been achieved for this device? Also, is this fully both AT&T and T-Mobile Compatible?

TL;DR, You can either get the unlocked variant and get the color you really want at the expense of your factory warranty,
Or get the dev edition and maintain the HTC warranty at the expense of having a color you don't like.
Yes, S-OFF has been achieved for most (if not all already) variants of the M8, the Developer edition and unlocked edition both included. The benefit to the developer edition is that the bootloader is unlocked from the factory, and you retain your warranty. If you buy the unlocked version and unlock the bootloader, your warranty is then void from HTC.
Hallo
I live in german and have buy my HTC One M8 Gray and would like to know how and where i found the tools to root and get S-off if that is need ?
and is it possbile for my mobile ?

Converting AT&T M8 to T-Mobile M8

Hi All!
Just returning to the world of flashing after being with Verizon for so long. I have recently switched to T-Mobile, and have been using my unlocked AT&T. Other than S-Off and an unlocked bootloader I haven't looked too much into flashing yet.
I have been reading the forums and it seems as though the GSM version of the HTC M8 are relatively interchangeable. This got me thinking, I am able to make the necessary changes to CID & MID to match the T-Mobile version, and then convert using a T-Mobile RUU?
Thanks!

Thank you! Just wanted to confirm - that is the exact thread I reviewed.
Just do supercid and use tmo ruu.
Wait... so I just need to switch the CID to the "supercid" and I don't worry about the MID and just flash the Tmo RUU?
(it's been a LONG time since I've been on a HTC device...)

[Q] Converting Unlocked M9 to other RUU

I have the carrier unlocked m9 straight from HTC. I was wondering if you could flash something like the dev edition RUU or say the T-Mobile RUU on it with out any failure? If so what would be the pros and cons of each one? I have been led to understand that the only difference between the Dev and the Unlocked is that the bootloader is unlocked which is no big deal bc I'm unlocked and s-off.
The only reason I would be interested in flashing the T-mobile RUU is for the wifi calling and texting capabilities.
(I am aware that you can change both the CID and the MID through fastboot.)

Flash the stock firmware (same version as what is on it now) via sd method and take it to a shop to be network unlocked. Then you can change it's identity to the wwe euro version.
To do that you'll change the cid via fastboot to HTC_001 and flash the 401 region firmware. Insert any sim and away you go..
Hi shivadow thanks for reply,i think the phone must be unlocked cause i could make calls in uk (talktalk) when it turn on it says sim is non verizon. Could you explain how to change cid and flash 401 region firmware,also the phone identity,i really don't know that much but can follow instructions,and if you have any links to what i need would be much appreciated .
thanks again

Never flash GSM firmware on a CDMA device unless you need a new paperweight.
The Verizon variant is a CDMA phone and the European one uses GSM. For further info I'd suggest you to read the ReadMe thread.

I thought verizon was gsm and sprint was cdma?
No. Sprint and Verizon are both CDMA-based carriers.
The GSM variants of the M9 are the 0PJA1**** ones. The 0PJA20000 (Sprint) and the 0PJA30000 (Verizon) variant are the CDMA ones.
Edit: Don't forget that LTE is a GSM-only technology. Just because CDMA carriers need to own some GSM frequencies for supporting LTE it doesn't mean that they aren't using CDMA for the rest of their network, anymore.
