[Q] One X alternate rom options

Hi everyone...I recently got a hold of a one X with CID ORANG001. Hboot 1.12 i think....i did my fair amount of googling but i am still unsure,are there any alternate roms available other than the stock orange one?i realized that it hasn't a 4.1.1 cid compatible firmware yet but can the stock rom be changed and how?
Thanks in advance...

Pretty much all ICS ROMs will work, which means the older versions of the ROMs located in Development section. Also, all CM10, AOSP, AOKP ROMs will work on older hboots. First you need to unlock the bootloader of your device. You can look around for more instructions.

Every ics + aosp+aokp+cm bassed roms

In order to get 4.1.1 update orange has to officially release it correct...?Does anyone have any news about when can we alter the CID and use international roms?

Correct.
For changing cid we need s-off which doesn't seem to be achieved any time soon.

Bought a rooted phone?

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.

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.

Stock means Google play version?

Stock means either the HTC Sense (official) Based ROM
or the Google Play Edition (GPE)

It depends on what version (CID). For the vast majority, yes you will get OTA as long as you are on a stock HTC ROM (not custom, or any system files altered in the stock ROM) and have corresponding stock recovery.
But for some US variants (AT&T, Verizon, maybe others) the OTAs are sent via the carrier's network, and you will not get them if you aren't connected to that specific carrier. This can be circumvented on the AT&T version with s-off if you change the CID and MID to "convert" the phone to another version (not possible with Verizon CDMA version).

Back to stock rom with S-ON

Hello guys,
i'm an owner of HTC one M8, with unlocked bootloader from htcdev but with S-ON.
I just want to go back to stock rom, because every custom rom i try has some issues (battery life mainly too short! I dont know if this is because of firmware, i
dont know how to update it or even how to see what is my one now).
But, the only guides i see are with S-OFF devices. Is this possible to to it with s-on?
Also, i would be s-off if there is a still working method, i've seen firewater one doesnt work anymore so there are no other solutions.
EDIT: at least guys, can you tell me how to check and/or update my firmware?

You post this on wrong section .. should be in Q&A ... I'm asking a mod to move this thread to Q&A
Read this thread, it is for both S-On and S-Off to get back to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
First thing to check is fastboot getvar all result (delete serial & imei no.) then we will know what you need to do

Try MIUI7 rom

listen you can try MIUI based rom for htc it have great battery backup compare to the other marshmallow based roms,
so you first try miui rom(4.4.4) for htc , it have some bugs like google text to speech isnt working but battery backup is awesome. rom is stable though. and you cannot rollback to stock using ruu when your device is S-ON , use sunshine for S-OFF, lol pay $25

Ok i would like to not pay lel.
THE PROBLEM in using custom roms is, i think, the firmware, because i just flashed trough fastboot the roms, without updating any firmware.
I tryed Android revolution HD and Skydragon but booth had battery problems, i mean the battery was going down too quickly also with screen off (from stats, in 6 hours i say 3 hours deep sleep, 3 hours 300 mhz cpu so it didnt "relax"!

I really want top say thanks to ckpv5 that helped me in PM's and linked me his own guide to restore to stock rom, it worked and it's all perfect! Thanks man!
Just a last question: now i have the stock htc one rom, so i'm doing OTA's. This means my firmware is automatically updated with them?
So if in future i want to install a custom rom MM based, i won't need to flash firmware?

Yes firmware is updated with the OTA .. after the latest OTA 6.12.401.4, you can install latest TWRP and install MM custom ROMs .. no need firmware update anymore

Very well, thanks mate.
for the moment i'll leave the stock rom.
I will use a MM custom rom when they will be based on official MM rom for htc one m8, and not porting from M9/A9

There have been MM based Sense custom ROMs since before the new year (Viper, Skydragon Sense, Wolla, ARHD).
S.ROM is the only A9 port.

Verizon M8 with modified SIM Tray IMEI

I bought a used M8 for the price of the M7, it had a locked bootloader, modified 1111111 CID and S-OFF, I updated it manually to MM 6.0 Verizon after installing TWRP
My Questions are
- Can I flash non-Verizon ROMs like an unlocked M8?
- Do you advise unlocking the bootloader as well? Through which means?
- Do you prefer CM14 over Sense 8/7, I love Sense put CM14 looks great! Is S-team/ICE/Lee/Venom ROM more stable than CM14?

The Verizon is known as a "CDMA" version (works on Verizon's CDMA voice network, as well as GSM) versus most other "GSM" versions of the M8.
This means you can install most ROMs meant for the M8, however, you would need to flash the proper kernel to get it working. Or stick to ROMs which specifically support Verizon M8.

Since your intent is to flash custom ROMs, its not a question of whether we advise it or not; you must unlock the bootloader in order to install custom recovery (needed to flash custom ROMs).

CM14 is in alpha. There will be bugs. Can't say firsthand, but another member stated nothing major is broken.
Sense based ROMs take official ROM, and tweak it. Generally speaking, this will be more stable than an alpha ROM like CM14.
