Hi guys,
Planning to buy the m8 and root it. But should I be specific on the variants?
Im not from the US (The Philippines) so Most likely not gonna get atnt, sprint etc.
So my options are:
The international model
Emea (a friend of mine is selling his but it was bought in riyad, KSA)
Or the asian version (s801 2.5ghz)
Do they have like different model nos.? Different ruus / rom versions etc?
Had a bad experience when i bought a phone (m7 sprint wls) before, since im not from the us. Had limited roms available compared to the international version
Your input would really help

I would agree that you should not get a US variant. For one thing, they will be SIM locked. Another thing, the Sprint and Verizon versions are CDMA. Different software, and possibly different hardware (although its been discussed here, and not clear - but I would err on the side of caution and assume the hardware is different). So if your area does not use CDMA I would stay away from those variants.
All GSM versions, be aware that they can all be converted to another carrier variant once bootloader unlocked and S-off. So as long as you avoid the CDMA versions, you are good for ROMs.
I would suggest the version that supports your local 3G and LTE bands out of the box. But again, as long as you are willing to s-off the phone, you can change that in software. So if that is the case, I would just go with the best deal.
From what I understand, the Asian version is the same as any other GSM version, just with a slight overclock.
Well if you do go with a us carrier Verizon has the best coverage and thier phones are :not: sim locked. You can use them with any carrier anywhere. My second choice would be t-mobile

The OP is from the Philippines. They aren't going to use a US carrier.
I would advise against CDMA variants for the reasons already mentioned.

Thanks guys, I just want to be clear, so if I use a Rom or RUU on a GSM variant, as long as Im'm on S-Off / Unlocked Bootloader and/ or on SuperCID. I could use any Rom ./ RUU from different GSM variants (I checked the rooting guide for the M8 and is similar to the M7, so as far as unlocking the bootloader / root that I have an idea).
Do they have different RUUs at all??

Yes.
Aside from the CDMA RUUs, which I wouldn't try on a GSM version unless you read definitive advice elsewhere that its ok.

Only US versions have RUU, that I know of.
Yes you're right.
I thought all has ruus on it. But with supercid i could use any nandroid backup right? As long as its gsm
I think I will go for the Asian version (wwe right? Cause it has a higher clockspeed and updated s801) And go supercid and use international (gsm) roms. Will that work?

WWE just means "world wide English". I think it refers to the Euro version.

Hello!
i have an Verizon s-off M8, My question is if is possible to convert (change CID/MID) in to a HTC Europe (with a last firmware). I use it only in gsm band. it is possible?!
Nope, as it's a CDMA device not GSM

Sorry to ask this like a month later, but I had a similar question as the OP. Why wouldn't it be possible if I only wanted to use my phone in Europe on the GSM bands? I've been using it with a ROM for the international phones and it works fine. But I was also wondering if I could flash the newest firmware and 4.4.3 upgrade to use some of the newer ROMs for the international versions, like ARHD 10.2.

HI! Can you give me more details? I've just received the verizon variant (bought from an online store) in Europe.. I would like to "convert" it to international version so I could get official updates from HTC via OTA. IS that possible?

I don't think you can convert it over to the international edition, although I could be wrong, since some of the partitions, firmware, and actual hardware (like the CDMA receiver) are different. Given how buggy just some of the ROMs are with the int'l kernel built in, I would be worried about bricking the phone trying to actually convert it to be able to receive OTAs.
What you can do check out some of the ROMs that let you pick which variant to install. After you boot that up once, you'll probably need to reflash the stock VZW kernel (or read around and see if Verizon users got other kernels to work with the ROM). It's kind of trial and error. A lot of times I ended up without wifi or service until I found a kernel that worked.
For updates, (this part sucks) you'll have to wait for the Verizon phones to receive them in the US. Someone usually makes a set a files you can flash since we can't get the OTAs for VZW here and a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle of going back to close to stock to get them. Make a backup, flash those, and go on your way!
But, you'll have to follow the updates and such for VZW phones and then just use a ROM to make it like an int'l versions.
I've been running the int'l version of Paranoid Android and before that ARHD and it's been fine. I used venom and I think n8 before that but it would only install the VZW version so I had to use ROM Cleaner and take out a lot of crap. The roaming triangles were annoying enough that I gave up on venom even though I like the ROM.

THanks for the reply. I think I will return it back.. I wanted a stock experience (eg: when HTC launch an update I DONT Need to wait for verizon to release an update).
I paid lots of money (~700$) for a contract free phone and got a branded phone (not sim-locked by branded is enough) . What a sh*t situation.

Oh God, I assumed you got a Verizon one because it was cheap. I picked mine up in the US for $150 so I don't care so much about having to wait since I saved so much money. If you paid full price I would definitely return it and get an int'l one instead!

Nope, the problem is that I wanted the 32 GB version and most of the online shops had only the 16 GB one. Maybe there is no international 32gb htc one m8..
PS: the retailer's product page (cel.ro) doesn't say anything regarding branding, even the photos are of a htc one m8 unbranded phone.
I am a bit late here. Can i flash a European custom rom on verizon M8? I want to completely get rid of verizon bloatware/services . If yes then while installing custom rom in aroma can i select WWE instead of verizon?? Summary of my question is can i use a WWE European custom rom on version M8??

You should only use custom ROMs that specifically support the Verizon variant. If the option is given in AROMA for carrier version (and VZN is one of those), its got nothing to do with what carrier/region you are located in, but refers to the version M8 you have, which is still Verizon. But you should check the specific ROM thread for details, comments by VZN version users, etc. as devs don't always setup AROMA the same way.
This thread is really old (almost 2 years) and we know a lot more now. FYI, I know its not what you specifically asked, but the topic of the thread is converting to Euro version by flashing firmware, RUU etc. And quite simply and frankly, do not attempt to flash Euro firmware, RUU, or change the CID/MID to do so. Flashing Euro firmware on the VZN variant will result in a radio brick, and the damage may be permanent!
Hi folks,
I have tried searching but couldn't find the answer so apologies if this is covered before.
I have a 32GB HTC One M8 which I bought from Canada. I am in UK and now looking to get a 4G contract however it turns out that the phone frequency is not compatible with 4G network here..
I have read a thread here talking about adding all frequencies but I don't want to root the phone.
Is there anyway I can flash a UK unbranded firmware? Will it add the UK frequencies or is it built in the hardware.
Please advise
Radio support is mostly software based on this phone. You can flash radios between most M8 versions (aside from the Taiwan M8x, dual SIM and possible the Verizon/Sprint CDMA versions).
But modding the phone (s-off) is required to access the radio partition. You can't touch this partition without s-off. Along those same limitations, you can't flash firmware from another version unless you s-off.
You'll need to S-OFF and Root to flash(Convert) your device.
S-OFF to convert it
Root to change the MID/CID to a UK variant.
Even this: Unlock all bands of your Qualcomm device! Use your phone globally! needs Root and "hopefully" it'll work.
As for hardware, it should work anywhere as long as you have the correct radio I would think. Given the "front end solution" that came with the snapdrago 801 to make it a "global" device. I think changes to radio for various carriers are software related and not hardware.
Can read up more on those things yourself though, RF360 Front End Solution for the Snapdragon 801.
Just get S-OFF and convert your device, LTE should work then. Can't recall anyone with a converted device complaining that it didn't work =o/
Brill.. thanks for the response folks.. so if I s-off it all I need to do Change the CID and flash the UK unbranded firmware through the bootloader?

You'll have to make sure both the CID and MID matches the firmware you're about to flash then.
If you bought it in Canada then I think the model ID will probably be something like 0P6B16000 (I think I read in Scotty's MID thread that Wind Canada might be 0P6B13000) either way, you'll probably need 0P6B10000 (European Unlocked and pretty much every European variant).
Cheers for all the input folks
Ended up selling the phone..
bought a new phone now from Vodafone and now got another task. Will start a thread about it.

Hi guys, I end up in this post. I have an Euro M8 unbranded, unblocked. I dont care to be root or s-off. How can I change the LTE to have LTE band 4(1700/2100) and band 28(700). Is possible?

Answered your other post in the "Help" thread.
Please don't make multiple posts asking the same question.
So.... I'm ready to go S Off and change from Euro unbranded to AT&T in order to get the band 4. Before to proceed, does someone already made this procedure?
Any experiences to share?

For the most part, I'd say whatever variant you can get for a good price. All the M8's (known as "GSM M8") are the same hardware internally aside from the following exceptions:
1) Dual SIM M8
2) Verizon/Sprint variants. These include CDMA radio, so different hardware. No benefit for you on AT&T, and less selection of ROMs.
3) Taiwan variant. Hardware is the same, but its overclocked out of the box. Some software from the other M8 versions won't work on this variant (including radios).
Aside from the variants above, all the M8 versions are essentially the same hardware, with minor differences of exterior color availability, and carrier logos on the back of some. Once bootloader is unlocked (and preferably s-off) you can flash CM to any of the versions.
One thing to note, AFAIK any M8 that has hboot 3.19 cannot be s-off by sunshine (and that is the only s-off method). Band compatibility for the various carriers/regions is software based on the M8. However, if you need to flash the radio to change band compatibility on a non-AT&T M8 variant, you will need s-off to do so. So unless you have a way of knowing what hboot is on the version you are buying, I tend to say that you might want to choose either the AT&T version or Dev Edition, to guarantee band compatibility on AT&T's network. Both of which fully support AT&T bands out of the box.

Right so, Verizon M8 wouldn't work on AT&T? That sucks. I knew Sprint wouldn't but Verizon is nearly compatible with AT&T by now, so thats sad lol
The best price is the Sprint variant, but thats because sprint phones do not have high resell value at all. People hate to deal with them completely and that solely makes the value go down...
I have not looked at the other variants but I will check them out! Thank you! I repaired a One today, It was a lot of work, but nearly any HTC Phone never looks or feels the same after a screen repair, because of that uni body.

Verizon variant will work on AT&T GSM and HSPA network (in addition to being SIM-unlocked out of the box); however, it doesn't have all the LTE bands to work on AT&T in all regions. And while the "GSM" variants can have radio software flashed to change band compatibility, you can't do this on the "CDMA" variants (at least you can't flash a GSM radio on a CDMA variant to open up all the needed LTE bands).
Similar situation on Sprint version. Except I think the Sprint comes SIM locked out of the box (you will need to get it SIM unlocked). And also the LTE bands are different from the Verizon version, but still not all the bands needed to work on AT&T in all regions.
My point in highlighting the hardware difference (CDMA versus GSM variants) is not only are the radio basebands not interchangeable (as mentioned) but neither are the ROMs. For the CDMA versions, you should only flash ROMs that specify that version is supported. The GSM versions can flash any of the GSM ROMs, and there is a much wider selection.
Again, there isn't a benefit to either of the CDMA variants (for use on AT&T), and several critical downsides, so I generally don't recommend them to basically any user that isn't on the specific carrier (Verizon or Sprint).

True, if the device is being sold second hand, you can (and should) always check to see if its already s-off.

Aside from the exceptions previously listed, all GSM M8's are the same hardware, and firmware should be interchangeable (with s-off). T-Mobile version should be able to flash WWE firmware. Although, if you want to be prudent, you can check and confirm to see if any T-Mobile owners have done so successfully.
hi there

I'm in Turkey, I've bought the phone from outside of the country and i can't use some features like wifi hotspot because of the devise is unlocked version. in other words, i want to get rid of Sprint M8 rom.
Is there any way to do this? ıf its possible, how?

Your best bet is probably to unlock the bootloader, and load a custom ROM (that specifically supports the Sprint variant), rather than a "stock" M8 ROM.
Reason being, the Sprint version is a CDMA (includes both GSM and CDMA radios) and actually different hardware from the other "GSM" phones (that you are calling "stock"). Trying to "convert" your Sprint version (installing "international" firmware, radios, etc.) is a very bad idea, as it probably won't work, and might even brick the phone.
Quite frankly, you probably bought the wrong variant for your country/region. Just about any version except Sprint/Verizon would have been better, and could be converted to be the "international" version.
oh got it. i think the custom rom is my only chance. thank you for your interest...
Hello there guys, im wondering if it is possible to unlock a band from my htc one m8 from at&t, i live in venezuela and my current company (Digitel) the 3g band is 900, but this phone only have the 3g band on 850, my question is can i unlock this by any chances because is annoying that my phone is from E to 4G and manually i can even recive calls when its 4G and it wont change to 3g
(sorry about my english)
You need s-off by sunshine (if not s-off already). Then you can flash another version's radio/firmware to enable the desired band(s).
May also need to change CID and MID (after s-off) if the firmware is signed.

According to the following specs, Euro or Asia firmware should support 3G 900 MHz: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_(m8)-6074.php
Although, keep in mind you should also verify the LTE (4G) band used by the carrier is also supported by the version's firmware you pick. You didn't state what band your carrier uses for LTE.
Also, it should be kept in mind, anytime you purchase a phone from a 3rd party source (other than your carrier) you need to do the proper research to verify the device actually supports your carrier's network. You're lucky this time (if you get the proper bands working). This is the first smartphone chipset that allows band support to be changed in software. On previous smartphones (and may also be true on other current smartphones using other chipsets), band support was set in hardware, meaning there is no way to change it.

Same as I've already stated, EMEA (Euro) or Asia supports both those bands.
EMEA is a very common (probably most common) version on this forum, so that may be your best bet as far as ease of getting the files, fellow user support, etc.

NO. The Developer version is US, not Euro or Asia. Why do you think the Dev Edition has the bands you want, or corresponds to the Euro or Asia versions?
The Dev Edition has the exact same band support as the AT&T version, so this is the exact opposite of what you want (doesn't have the bands you want).
Euro firmware is probably what I would recommend (as previously stated), and can be found on the following threads (as well as other places):

NO. The Developer version is US, not Euro or Asia. Why do you think the Dev Edition has the bands you want, or corresponds to the Euro or Asia versions?
The Dev Edition has the exact same band support as the AT&T version, so this is the exact opposite of what you want (doesn't have the bands you want).
Euro firmware is probably what I would recommend (as previously stated), and can be found on the following threads (as well as other places):

Follow the instructions as applicable, for changing CID and MID (after s-off).

Try the SIM in another phone, if possible, to see if it works on 3G on another device.
Also, be sure the APN info for your carrier is properly entered. Double check and triple check every input to make sure every single character is correct. Even a single added space or missing character can prevent you from getting data properly.

How does the APN on the HTC compare to that on the Nexus? Are they identical?
