Hello.
FIrst , i know there are 2 more threads ( or maybe more , i could only find 2 ) about this but they didn't made me understand my problem.
So I live in Europe and my M8 is an US M8 ( Canadian if i remember right) and because of that 4G isn't working here , in Europe.
Now my question is : Can I do something about this ? I'm s-off if that can help..
Thanks.
Check if your version of the M8 supports the 4G band(s) used by your carrier. If not, the band support can be changed by flashing the appropriate radio.
Also, make sure you are using the proper APN for your carrier. Sometimes carriers use a different APN for 4G enabled devices.

Sorry but I'm a bit noob. How can I check if my M8 supports the 4G band used by my carrier? The APN is ok.

1) Verify what version of the M8 you own
2) Check specs online to see what bands your M8 version is supposed to support
3) Find out what 4G band(s) your carrier uses
You haven't given much detail, and I don't know your knowledge base (what you do or don't know how to do). So I can only give general steps, and rely on you to ask specific questions on the steps above, as necessary.
Flashing the radio appropriate for your region/carrier is probably going to fix the problem. But I recommend you do the research above first, to first confirm that band support (missing in the device software) is the issue.

Yeah , looks like my brain wasn't working when I wrote you later.
I have a T-Mobile M8 and their bands are 700 , 1700 , 2100. For my carrier I need 800, 1800 , 2600 so looks like I need to flash a radio.
I just did a research and found some radio here on xda but i don't know which one to download. ( If you can help me here i would be very thankful )
My phone is s-off so i'm alright , i just need to change my cid to supercid.

Yeah . I know Canada is not a part of the US.
Do you intend to run a custom ROM, or keep the phone stock?
I already have a custom ROM - ViperOne
@redpoint73
So can you help me in finding the radio for my M8 ?
If the latest Viper (version 4.x), I would suggest flashing the 4.16.401 firmware package. Not only to get the Euro radio (with the LTE bands you are looking for), but all the other firmware modules that correspond to the 4.16 software, for most bug-free performance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
s-off is required (which you state you already have) to flash another region/carrier's firmware. Plus, you will need to change to the proper CID and MID.

That isn't the firmware number.
The term "firmware" is a little confusing. On this device, when most folks say "firmware" (including the link I sent you) it refers to a package of modules including hboot, radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others, that DO NOT get flashed with the ROM (but are critical in the correct operation of the ROM).
Firmware does not in fact really have a "number", so referring to the software (OS) number that the firmware deployed with is the best we can do. So again, its confusing.
The OS number is bootloader just tells you what software number the current ROM is based. Flash a ROM with a different base, and that number will change. But the hboot, radio "firmware" will not change. Therefore you want to have firmware that corresponds to your ROM.
There is in fact no easy way to tell what firmware package you have installed. The best way is to look at the hboot and radio numbers. So tell me what those say on the hboot screen, and I can probably tell what firmware you are on (although I'm not that familiar with the T-Mob radio numbers).
If you read the thread I linked, it explains it a little further under the big red letters.

Interesting, you already seem to be on the Lollipop WWE Euro radio, based on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58306004&postcount=734
And the T-Mobile radio number is 1.23.213311491.05G, based on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59275459&postcount=712
Did you flash any firmware packages previously (by the method that I linked). Or was the phone modified by a previous owner?
Now why the WWE Euro radio doesn't give you LTE, is the real mystery. You've used this SIM on another phone before, and had LTE?

The radio number would suggest you flashed the Android 5.0 firmware, not 4.4.4.
Check the APN again. Does it match the APN on the "other" phone?
If the 4.16.401 firmware, and running current Viper, and right APN, I don't see a reason why LTE won't work. You might check the Viper thread to see if there are any other reports of a similar bug.

The APN is good. I'm gonna check Viper thread but probably I'm just gonna leave it like this. I'm gonna buy the M9 anyway when it's available here. Just wanted to make 4G work untill I buy it but yeah. Thanks anyway for your big help Have a good day/night.
What country are you in, specifically?
I think there were a couple countries (mostly Eastern Europe, I think) that had some data issues on KitKat, but I think they had some minor radio updates. And I would think those issues would have been cleared up by now (for Lollipop).

When I converted my M8 over to the developer edition, I used the nandroid backup method, and then manually flashed the stock DevEd recovery so I could take OTA updates. I left the radio alone, though. However, I then let the DevEd install do several OTA updates, and now I see that my radio is up to 1.19.21331147A1.09G_20.57.4196.01L_F - which is not what the phone shipped with.
I have been reading in other threads that there may be differences between the AT&T radio and the DevEd radio, though from my reading, they always seem to have the same version number? (The thread I was reading hasn't been updated in a while, and stops at 1.16 radios)
The phone seems to work fine, but I'm curious if 1) there is any difference between the radio the DevEd install put on there, and 2) if so, is there any reason to go searching for a newer AT&T radio?
Newest AT&T radio is 1.19.213311491.A22G_20.51A.4198.01L_F
The Dev Edition OTA started rolling out slightly earlier (few weeks) than the AT&T OTA. Is there any difference? Who knows? I don't think anybody but HTC is going to know much about that. But as the Dev Edition is intended to fully support the AT&T network, I wouldn't worry about the baseband number being different.

Of the 3 releases to date, the radio has only been the same (between AT&T and Dev Ed) once: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921

My gut would say no, but if you want you can always try it and see if there is any difference (Speedtest, etc.)
I'm thinking no on that as well, as the phone is working fine as it is, and needlessly messing around with firmware seems unwise. If there was a definitive "yes", I might give it a go, but as it stands, I will probably let it ride.

I think the difference would be.
Dev Edition Radio - Open to all bands
AT&T Radio - Locked to AT&T bands. Roaming and all...Not just TO other carriers but FROM other carriers.
Can read up on Qualcomm's RF360 Front End Solution that came with the Snapdragon 801 chipset. It carries ALL the bands on there to make it "truly" global. However, obviously they WILL make some changes on a carrier level for like I mentioned before, roaming purposes i.e Money.
Both phones should be able to run all bands no problem, the AT&T one on the other hand, will have some locked out so that's the only difference I think.
Read up on it some more though, it's interesting stuff :good:

Unlikely that this is true. As already mentioned above, one radio deployed for the Dev Ed (1.14) appears to be the exact same radio number as the AT&T version.
While its true the radio hardware is capable of supporting all applicable bands (GSM/HSPA/LTE) used worldwide; that doesn't necessarily mean all are going to be enabled in software; or that they can all be enabled simultaneously. There may or may not be a software limitation, but I can only guess on that point.
Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have an asian unlocked M8 and I live in Mexico so I cant use LTE. To solve this I got S-off, supercid, wwe mid and wwe firmware with Android Revolution Rom and still cant use LTE (Europe LTE bands do not include band 4 aws, so its the same crap). I tried to flash att and t-moble radio but mi phone did not recognise the radio file (Unknown baseband) so I get no signal. Then I flashed the wwe radio and got the same no recognition problem. The only way to get back signal is to flash again the firmware (it does not work to switch the att radio image in wwe firmware)
I need att or t-mobile bands to use mexican carriers Telcel or Movistar LTE (band 4 aws) and I guess I should use att or t-mobile firmware with the matching based rom.
- Can someone recomend me a rom version and firmware version to download??
- Is the unknown baseband problem because of the wwe mid? Should I also change the wwe to att or t-mobile mid and cid??
Thanks for your time and help!!

What if you current firmware version, is it Euro 4.16.401?
Where did you get the AT&T radio(s) and what is the file name?
Are you sure you are using the baseband for the right Android version (4.4.4 or 5.0, etc.)? If you are using the wrong radio for the Android version, that is the only reason I can see for any problems. As long as you are using the right version (Lollipop radio with a Lollipop ROM, etc), the radios should be interchangeable (with exception of Verizon, Sprint, M8x, dual SIM - don't mess with those).
But I would still advise to flash the whole firmware (not just the radio) to assure that everything plays well together.

I would suggest the Lollipop AT&T firmware (4.28.502) or Dev Edition (4.16.1540 - same band support as AT&T version) which you can get here (attached with the full ROM, unfortunately): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
After that, you should be able to use just about any Lollipop ROM for the M8.

As I said, the firmware can be used with most any Lollipop M8 custom ROM.
The instructions say you need 4.16.401 firmware, but that's just a "lazy" requirement. Any Sense LP firmware should work with the current InsertCoin. To be fair, many of the "international" devs are Euro based, so they have little or no experience with other region's firmwares; and don't want to be held responsible for issues that arise for using them.
You should use or select the firmware based on region and carrier band support (in addition to Android version); not by ROM.

You can. I'm personally not crazy about AT&T specific "features" (as the ROM is meant to include). Even having AT&T as a carrier, I tend toward the non-ATT based ROMs.
You may need to manually enter your carrier's APN info to get data connection.
Perfect.
I am currently in my work but at night I will follow your suggestions and come back tomorrow -or as soon as posible- to inform if this worked and may be useful to someone else.

Check your APN, sometimes carriers use a different one to support LTE.
Otherwise, if you tried only one firmware (such as AT&T) then try another: T-Mob or Dev Ed all supposedly support AWS.
Hi!
I just S-offed my T-mobile M8 today. Just have a question regarding LTE bands. I'm from the Philippines. I've noticed that my M8 variant is not compatible with the LTE bands supported by the carriers here in my country. I've done my research and saw that the T-Mobile M8 variant uses LTE bands 4 (1700/2100) and 17 (700). My carrier here operates at LTE Band 1 (2100) which is why I can only reach HSPA signal here. So is it possible for me to flash an asian firmware w/ radio update on my device so that I can access LTE connectivity here? If not, is there any other way to do so?
Thank you.

Yes.
Be sure to pick a firmware that supports not just your carrier's LTE band(s) but HSPA also, for full compatibility.
Also be sure to stick to the proper software version. You're most likely on Lollipop software, so only flash a Lollipop version firmware.
Depending on whether the firmware has been hacked, you may need to change your CID and MID to match the firmware.

I've already superCID my M8 and just flashed the GPE firmware that came with the stock Marshmallow ROM. So does this mean, if I want to flash official firmware, I will need to change both my CID and MID to match that of the firmware?

If you give a CID or CIDs for the Asian version (or bettter yet, the correct software number), I may be able to find the firmware.

If its official, YES it will check CID and MID.
Some firmwares may be hacked to remove these checks, or include a longer list of "acceptable" MIDs and CIDs. I believe the GPE firmware your refer to is hacked in one of those ways.
But official firmwares will always check CID and MID.
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):

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

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).

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?

htc_pmewl is the product version for North American HTC 10s
You can find your CID and MID in download mode. Also your current firmware version is listed as "OS".
All of those are identifiers for your model. CID combined with MID will tell you which model you have (US Unlocked, T-Mo, Verizon, Bell etc), but the firmware version is the easiest way to tell (at least for me).
The firmware number is broken into 4 parts. For mine it is 2.51.617.32
The first part (2) signifies the Android version. On the HTC 10, the 2 signifies Nougat (it increases by one for each version)
The second part (51) signifies the build version from HTC
The third part (617 <----the most important part) signifies the actual model of phone the firmware is meant for. 617 is for US Unlocked, 651 is Sprint, 531 is T-MoUS, 605 is Verizon, and 666 is Bell and 401 is WWE/Europe (there are more, but for htc_pmewl these are the ones that matter ~ 401 is added because you'll see that a lot here)
The fourth and last part (32) signifies the revision of the HTC build
Most of all that information isn't too important except for the third part. That is what you need to pay attention to when flashing firmware and RUUs

Oh, I forgot to add, you can probably flash pretty much any ROM here. Most are GSM with CDMA (Sprint and Verizon) support added

thanks for the reply, just seeing it. so based on my model firmware 2.51.617.32 i can flash any ROM or US ROM? also would I have been able to flash the firmware accidently and my phone is actually another model?
again the ultimate goal is to see what types of ROMs i can flash so I can see whcih will give me the best battery life. thanks again!

Perhaps it could be changed if the phone is S-Off, but that won't really matter anyway. And the US Unlocked gets the quickest updates. It'll be the first model to get Oreo (based on every update released so far). And yeah, you should be able to flash any ROM for the 10. Any ROM I know of anyway.

Non US ROMs should be fine. Most of the popular ones are actually based on WWE/Europe, but they work fine with US Unlocked, AT&T or TmoUS. And most of them have support added for Sprint and Verizon.
The OP on the ROM threads will let you know what is compatible and not.
