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

Don't worry about radio - I am UK Vodafone 4G and the RUU works perfectly with 4G

Taiwan M8x

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.

Just flash a gpe rom, there is no difference in converting it except you can't flash sense roms…. Doesn't really make "sense"

I haven't found a good tutorial for doing this. Everything always says "refer to this thread" or "use this guy's instructions" and there's always some uncertainty in the mix.
Do I need to s-off the device to install a gpe rom? Will I still get ota updates from google?

Unlock bootloader
Flash twrp recovery
Backup stock system in twrp
Download gpe Rom. I like sinless
Flash Rom.
Soff not needed but can be handy in the future and you should get it while you can. You will not get ota from Google but all the good developers release updates quickly

but I lose my warranty at HTC's whim because I need to register at the htcdev site, right?

You gotta pay to play. You could use towel root, and sunshine which you don't have to register, but you will still be soff and they are not dumb

Thank you very much
You could just run the ruu rather than waiting for the ota

your M8 variant are WWE international unlocked ,
you can wait for an update lollipop via ota ,
if you don't want to wait , you can try to install cusrom arhd 30.1 , Insertcoin 6.0.0 , or Skydragon ,

Ahh, shame, i'll just go back to stock WWE .401 and wait for it, i've had a play with lolipop and it is better for notifications ect, but HTC say they will release it soon.

Why do you say that? I've got WWE RUUs for 401.6 and 401.9. There is no reason to think that there won't be one captured for 5.0.1.

RUU for HTC__001 WWE

Hi Masters!
I'm having issue updating my HTC M8 to Marshmallow. I tried the RUU that I got from HTC website (Unlocked/Developer). But I'm getting e155 error. I checked the readme file and it says that I dont have the right RUU for my HTC.
Installed CID Checker and here's what I get: HTC__001 WWE
I am assuming that this is a Unlocked Phone.
Please help me out masters. I beg you.
I really want to install stock marshmallow without loosing the features of HTC Apps.

I'd wait for another few days, the rumour is that MM 401 might be pushed next week.
We'll just have to wait and see.

If you are S-Off you can flash the Dev Ed firmware. Or you could flash the ViperOneM8 ROM. It got updated to MM yesterday, and works with 4.16.401.10 firmware. That's what I'm using with it right now.
