Planning on grabbing an unlocked but carrier branded one x in the next week or so. Is getting on the wwe ota release as simple as flashing a wwe ruu or is it tracked by imei ? I should know having a desire but sense is terrible on this and its been running aosp roms since it was a week old
Will be jumping on custom roms eventually but it sounds like we will all be stock for the next little while with the HTC dev bootloader issue.

Anyone able to comment at all?
IE - carrier branded rom now, if I flash worldwide stock image will i get worldwide ota updates?
I'm planning on buying today but would just like to know this first
Thanks!

no, i believe your OTA updates are taken from your CID

Ok fair call, will just have to flash manually then... not a major deal. Good to know though, thankyou. I saw recoveries have started popping up in the last 12 hours, this wasn't the case when i posted... so much happier now anyway

So I currently have the HTC M8 Sprint Variant pre Harman Kardon Edition. After rooting and making my phone S-OFF I was tweaking and modding my HTC. I was having tons of issues with my messages every since I had My phone and had read a forum online that said something about my version of the phone having issues due to firmware. I had decided to unroot my device so I could go to sprint and get a new or something because what the use of having a phone if I can not get Messages or Calls. In doing so I completely wiped my phones using TWRP recovery. But when I say completely I mean I accidentally wiped off My OS. Thus I could not take my phone to sprint as it would clearly be a violation. In searching for the pre HK Sprint Variant RUU.zip I could only find the the New HK Stock RUU.zip file. So I installed it and on the bright side, I know have a OS on my phone and it works amazing, I get the new Clairify sound as stock (vs flashing a mod) and My messages and calls now work. On the down side My benchmark score went from 37500 to 30100... Eventually I will have to take my phone back to sprint to get things all worked out but I have been searching every where and can not seem to find the pre HK RUU. If anyone has a link to this zip file I would greatly appreciate it.
Stock RUU has not been released yet

Hi. I recently switched over to android and bought an M8 GPE hoping to use it with ISIS on T-Mobile. I used to use an iPhone on T-Mobile so I couldn't use ISIS. I've been trying for the past few days to get ISIS running, but nothing has worked (Market Helper, I tried to restore a T-Mobile M8 Nandroid backup, which failed, sideloading APK's, replacing the build.prop with one from T-Mobile, flashing it with a T-Mobile RUU, etc).
Does anyone know how I can flash a T-Mobile Rom on my GPE M8? (Unfortunately I got the OTA update to 4.4.4 so I don't think I can get S-OFF, does that matter?)
You could still flash ROMs without s-off. There's a few T-Mobile based ROMs available, check out the T-Mobile forum. Also insertcoin and viperone has the option to choose the T-Mobile bloats. I haven't tried isis myself so i can't help you in that department. I don't have the "isis sim"

Thanks. I actually had already tried to install ViperOme, but it failed. I believe there was an errror when trying to create a symlink in /system/bin, due to missing permissions. Can I simply install a T-Mobile firmware like this one : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491964290 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754063 by booting into TWRP Recovery mode and selecting Restore? Or do I need to select "Install" instead? What about using something like ROM Manager, could I use that?
I am just guessing because I had problems with OTA's on my T-Mobile m8 to EU m8 conversion. You probably need to convert your model id to 13000 for everything to flash smoothly. I had to change my model id to 10000. Beware. I hope you understand what you're doing when you start changing cid's and mid's. Took me a few days to figure ota issue because of the model id making flashes fail.
BTW, I think you're downgrading if you goto a T-Mobile rom. I would convert to an EU ROM and then use google wallet. Less bloat and ram management is so much better. Less loading from save state and apps just pop up because they're still in ram.

ISIS is still kinda eh... i havent gotten it to work properly on viper rom. you have to basically swap everything though. i would swap to a tmobile firmware make sure your CID is changed to tmobile as well as install the tmobile TWRP backup and just factory reset after that. then it should startup like a brand new tmobile phone.
My guide should give some pointers on changing GSM M8 variants see my sig
There is another thread regarding converson from GPE however :good:
Has anyone here used it?
I was wondering what firmware etc it was on as i get one this Saturday. I'm also assuming we arent lucky like the t-mobile version and have an unlocked bootlater as default? I Have always been addicted to flashing roms haha, been doing it since the HTC Dream (I.e the G1) days with jesusfreke root.
Having come from a Nexus 4 where it is easy to return to root/relock the bootlader if you need to send in for a warranty, What is it like for the G3? If i put TWRP on there and something hardware wise goes wrong, is it easy to relock etc? I have read about the LGFlashtool but notice a lack of availability of the Optus Firmware to use as a backup
Cheers
HTC MM Firmware for some reason didn't use the TMO frequencies/bands effectively. This caused caused a weaker or an erratic signal compared to TMO stock firmware (radio, etc).
I was wondering if anyone who is aware of this issue has had better luck with the HTC Unlocked N software that was released recently. Since TMO has not released N yet, I was considering just running the HTC RUU or take the OTA, but if the signal is still a problem, I will wait for the TMO RUU to extract parts of its firmware before upgrading.
I never had a problem with US unlocked HTC 10 and TMO. Radio connection was fine with all bands. There was an issue with WiFi calling not working properly but they fixed that a while ago in MM. N runs great on TMO with VoLTE and WiFi calling as well. Maybe it was the WWE HTC 10 with the band issues on MM?

I had discussed this with 1 or 2 others earlier (maybe 2 months ago) and they confirmed this issue and instructed me to change CID and flash TMO firmware (basically the radio). However, I never did get around to finishing extracting a "nowipe" TMO firmware. So I'm not going to worry about it. Incidentally, my Wi-Fi calling has not worked in a long time. I'm currently on 1.96.617.2.
And since N has been released now by HTC, I'm thinking of just upgrading.
Incidentally, how did you upgrade? Did you just RUU and then re-root (assuming you are S-off)? Was thinking of doing that (although it's a hassle) or... just upgrading firmware and flashing a custom N Rom but it's unlikely that they have Wi-Fi calling. So let me know what you did. I stopped getting OTA awhile ago and would have to flash a pristine system stock anyway if I wanted to upgrade by OTA...I figure either way will be kind of a chore.

Changed the CID and used the RUU. Everything is working so far with Elemental/Magisk Pixel Dialer. Having the same quality of Service while I was using Stock MM T-Mobile.

Why did you change the CID? Had you changed it once already from the CID it came with (unlocked version)? It wouldn't need to be changed.
So you ran the RUU to upgrade to N (plus using the EX kernel and the pixel dialer?)

Had it as SuperCID and for some reason the RUU didn't like it so changed to the Dev CID. EX kernel runs on N now and Pixel Dialer since for some dialers cause issues or don't support VoLTE or Wifi Calling. So far so good

I had both, the T-Mobile branded HTC 10 with Android 6 and an unlocked HTC 10 with Android 7. The signal itself, could be -1 or 2 dBm less than other phones that I had, but and both of the phones didn't have issues with erratic signal.
I had couple of other issues with Bluetooth and WiFi connection.

Really? Dialers cause problems with Wi-Fi calling?? I would think HTC would have worked that out for those TMO customers ergo bought their unlocked phone.
So I'm going to run the RUU I guess to upgrade to N. After, do I just push the latest TWRP from the thread in the development forum? [The working TWRP with a GUI was called "test3" a few days ago.]
Lastly, what is the status on SuperSu? I originally downloaded Chainfire's interim Supersu for N, but that may be obsolete now.
I hate asking, but the questions I have involve threads like the TWRP one which is 1200+ pages long. I'm leaving to go on a brief vacation, and would love to upgrade, but I have this nightmare that something gets screwed up and I have to leave before I have time to sort it all out....And end up going on vacation with a non-working phone...
Thanks for the info!

So you still have the unlocked version? How did you upgrade it to N? And what TWRP/SuperSu did you use to root it?
I will rip apart a TMO N RUU as soon as it appears and create a NoWipe zip to upgrade/modify the firmware on the unlocked version (I.e., change the radio and other components, while still keeping it unlocked). If that happens to improve my signal, I'll be happy to upload it for any of us on the unlocked HTC 10 with TMO as carrier...
Thanks!

Please tell me what N Rom you are using on T-mobile with VOLTE AND Wifi-Calling working, because every rom i've seen and used so far these do not work.
I'm using the stock US Unlocked HTC 10 Firmware/ROM. I have the US Unlocked HTC 10.

Earlier when GPE was going around xda it would randomly not support wifi calls back in Android 6. So far Pixel and the HTC stock dialer are pretty consistent.
The new RUU 2.38.617 is out (updates thread where I got it). Has some bug fixes etc. I flashed the 3.0.3 TWRP that's in the Downloads tab of the HTC 10 TWRP thread. And flashed SuperSu 2.79. So far so good
Whether stock TMO or US Unlocked MM or N, the radios are fricken horrible. I have to have mine converted to International version just to have a properly working radio here in the U.S.
I have a thread on all of this if you search.
