thanks for the replies
Are there any hardware difference? Does all custom rims and unlock works the same?

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)

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

Chinese Rom to European

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

You used F firmware for your country, or from somewhere else? Lost NFC functionality? What else?
And what version did you flash, this last one, Android 10? On top of Android 9?

Hello
I am from Algeria ( North Africa ) and my mobile is an ORX ( Slovakia CSC ). I wanted to get android 10 on my phone. Android 10 was not released nowhere except in those two countries so I had no other choice.
Hi, I wanted to ask if converting the model from F to FN and the other way around, can there be reception problems or worse signal? for example, I am Italian, if I install the Indian software do I have the same results as the fn itv software for Italy? thanks in advance
Yes it will cause issues, for one you will lose NFC functionality.. the update should be next month for everyone so just chill and wait..
Ok thank you

A505FN/SEE DUAL SIM 4/128 flashed with A505F/INS
Only NFC is gone, DUAL SIM is working and everything else.
Android 10 feels much better, wifi on 5Gz much stable, fingerprint is awesome,
in other words 10 is great.

as far as i know is not possible because of different hardware
Well, maybe ur right but honestly I don't think lg has made 2 different productions lines it's not cost effective at all.. I read somewhere it was just sw different.. The problem is, if I want to flash the dual sim firmware maybe I can't because the software doesn't match with the smartphone id product so I'm scared to break it down.
Thanks a lot for your reply btw
