Hey guyss, so i just bought this awesome phone on craigslist and it is already rooted and idk if the guy did anything else beside that ,so is there a way i can check everything like firmware, cid, and all the stuff ?
And also , do i need to convert to gpe if i want to install lollipop roms like SkyDragon gpe , blisspop , or cm12 or do i just need to flash it through recovery?

1: update the softwar/firmware to the latest (hboot 3.19).
2: no need to convert to gpe. Skydragon works on sense firmware so it's not mandatory.
3: i know in the backup thread is being talked about s-off and such but it's not necessarily needed, only if you wish but i recommend to read up on what s-off is and can do if you don't know that yet.
3.16 is indeed the oldest firmware. But you can check that also in the at&t section. This section is for the international devices actually.
Since its the AT&T version (from your other posts), there is currently no official update to hboot 3.19 and associated firmware. So you will need to s-off by sunshine in order to update firmware (required to run current ROMs).
You can check the hboot screen to see s-on or s-off. You can check for other details (including CID) with fastboot getvar all (if you post the getvar info, delete your serial number and IMEI as they are personal info).

If using the phone on AT&T's network, I would recommend the firmware included with the following ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Flashing this firmware, you do not need to alter CID.
This is the 4.4.4 (software 3.28) firmware package from the US Developer's Edition, which is intended for use on AT&T. Some folks (myself included) have had issues using the WWE firmware on AT&T's network. In particular, broken Google services while on LTE.

After I flash that, I'll be good to go with any Rom right? Or just sense Rom and I have to convert to gpe for gpe Roms

You don't need to fully convert to run GPE ROMs. Just flash them.
Full conversion to GPE only gains you the GPE partitioning (smaller system partition, and larger user accessible storage) as well as enables official GPE OTAs. But you need to convert back to Sense partitioning to run any Sense ROMs. I don't recommend full conversion to GPE for most folks, unless you really want the GPE partition scheme and/or OTAs.
I won't say "any ROM", but the previously linked firmware will enable you to run most or all the current ROMs. Older ROMs might not play well with the newer firmware.

Thank you so much, you've been very helpful like always !

You're welcome, and happy to help.
I would also recommend you check out the AT&T M8 specific forum section, mentioned by Mr Hofs. It contains a lot of info specific to the AT&T variant. This "international" section has lots of good info too, as well as more traffic overall. Neither is really "better", and I actually find it best to read both forum sections:

You need to update the firmware again to 4.16.
Simple rule, you need to have firmware that corresponds to the custom ROM you want to flash.

Hi all, ..
I'm going to flash my first custom ROM on my One X but I want to ask some questions first ..
Before asking I'd like to tell you that ..
• My phone's CID is 1.29.708.15 (from Hong Kong)
• I know that we could flash any custom ROM even it wasn't based on the same CID
• I know that we couldn't downgrade the FW except when the phone is S-OFFed
1- Now if I flashed a ROM based on the latest Europe version (2.17.401.2) that means that my CID has changed and I could flash the latest stock RUU of Europe ??
2- If the answer of question 1 is NO then could I return back to my stock ROM even it's older than the custom ROM based on version ?? or my phone will brick ??
I want your help as soon as possible
And thanks to every one who had helped me before and thanks to that great forum

1.29.708.15 is not your CID. It's your software version.
If you flash a custom ROM based on 2.17.401.2, your CID will not change.
To return to stock, you can flash any 708 RUU that is the same or newer than 1.29.708.15, or restore the backup you make before installing the custom ROM.

Hi I need help to flash the new firmware on my att m8 to run the new roms I am soff and boot loader unlocked but don't have super cid
2.23 is the latest. Its included on the following ROM. You have to download the whole ROM to get it from this thread, but it has great instructions for those not familiar with the process. Not sure if anyone has posted the 2.23 firmware by itself.

Are you actually using AT&T as your carrier? If so, you probably don't want to flash the 3.x firmware. It includes the radio for the international version, which on past firmwares, were known to not play well with AT&T.
I'd wait until an AT&T specific firmware package is available; which won't happen until AT&T releases 4.4.4 or at least the Dev Edition rolls out.
When you say "new ROMs" I think you mean "ROM" as I believe Maximus is the only custom Sense ROM so far to rebase to 4.4.4 (although I'm sure others won't be far behind).
If I super cid will I be able to do this ?
What if you remove the radio.img file from the firmware zip? Or replace it with the one from latest ATT firmware?

So that is your software number for the unmodded, stock ROM?
If so, your firmware is current, and you should be able to flash any current ROMs (and probably older ones, too - but most folks usually aren't that interested in older ones) for the GSM M8. Just stay away from any ROMs that only specifically support the CDMA versions (Sprint and Verizon).
I won't say "without any issues" since there is always some chance of issues, even with the completely correct configuration. But I can say that you shouldn't run into issues related to outdated firmware.
yea i have the stock rom s-on
just had the phone new for one day
can i install this one?

Yes. Make sure you pick "other M8 version" (or some such wording - just don't pick Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile) in the AROMA installer.
thank you my friend redpoint73
Hi everyone, enjoying my awesome M9 like everyone else =D
and its time to move on to the custom rom goodness.
I can't seem to find an answer to the question. (maybe its too obvious? coming from s3)
Mine is a M9 (hong kong), with 1.32.708.15 (s-On) and all the custom roms are 1.32.401.17 based.
Is it safe to Flash it?
This is the only info i managed to find at the ARHD 5.0 OP with regards to the question.
"- If your current firmware version doesn't match ROM firmware version, wiping data inside AROMA is highly recommended!"
Would be nice if I can get some confirmation from you guys.
Yes it is fine right now since it is the same base. Get soff while you can so flashing firmware in the future is easy. Remember always backup first. Use twrp 2864

I did this on the M8 before, I had problems with the wifi and it took ages to boot until I found out that my firmware is old and different from the rom.
Anyway, I did what you are trying to do yesterday, (firmware 15/ rom 17) for a couple of minutes, didnt find any problems.
Before you flash any ROM, BACKUP your system and move it to your PC and use the latest TWRP
Thats good to hear! I'm gonna give it a try once i'm back in town! Thx!
Please Help me!

ONLY. use firmware for your phone. if you flash a gsm firmware on a cdma phone you are asking for trouble, big time.
If my current firmware is 2.11.531.19 (tmo - US), can I flash Roms built for 2.10.401.1? Or would I need to downgrade my firmware to do so?
Thanks in advance for your guidance,
Mario

Yes u can flash the roms. I'm on same firmware and I flash them all the time.
Some may not have added t-mo specific features so u won't get Wi-Fi calling or volte.
But most of the m9 roms have the options for t-mo in the install menu.
