[Q] - Another - unlocking question regarding sprint

I'm using a sprint m8 internationally on a permanent basis so at the very least I need a sim to work with a gsm network on the m8, tried to flash some radios (which failed). So... is there a way to purge everything 'sprint' from a htc one m8 ? Will an RUU do the trick (recommendations)?
Phone is s-off, unlocked, rooted etc. See below for the getvar dump. cid is 1's mid is dev. No luck on installing custom roms - still restricted to sprint variants.

You could convert it to the Developer Edition using the RUU and see if that works. If not, you can flash the Sprint RUU to go back to the beginning

This one:

It's on that thread, but above is the direct link to HTCs server

" ERROR 155 The ROM Update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again" is what it shows....
So it appears something 'sprint' is blocking it. Although I suspected a full ROM,radio might work...

I am on CWS__001 and old bootloader with a custom rom. The phone has unlocked bootloader with S-off. I would like to install CM12.1 which is asking me to upgrade to 3.19 bootloader.
Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to upgrade the bootloader to 3.19? What I understood is I need to relock the bootloader and flash the HTC firmware. If you can confirm and point me to the right firmware and relock, would greatly appreciate it.

I think my phone is bricked(kinda?)

I have a HTC One M8 Unlocked and I haven't been able to use the phone for a couple days because I think I bricked it. First I unlocked my bootloader (successful) and then I rooted my phone (I assume it went successful) and after that I ran the ViperOneM8 4.6.1 rom. I was in a hurry so I did not read that you were supposed to update your firmware before installing the rom. I ****ed up and installed the rom and I was left with a phone that couldn't connect to wifi. I tried to fix the problem but I think I just made it worse and now I don't know what to do. Any help/links would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727
and update your firmware to at least 4.16.401.10

And no need to root if you are installing a (already rooted) custom rom ! Useless and totally unnecessary.
People should stop thinking that they "root the phone", you are only modding the running OS to give it root access !

HTC M8 16GB HTC__J15 0P6B67000 . Is this safe?

Hey guys! Just wanted to know if it was safe to run this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/unlock-bands-qualcomm-device-phone-t2880239
Though this is the 16GB model, I'm afraid I could mess up with partitions.
Thanks!

first to follow this tutorial you need to be s-off ( your device is s-on )
second this tutorial works only for some cdma devices not all ( your device is gsm it will not work )
so you can't do it at all

As ahmed indicated, this won't work.
Your best bet, is s-off ($25 by sunshine app is the only way to s-off) and flash radio firmware from the M8 version that supports the bands desired.
But even then, LTE support on your local carrier is not guaranteed (if that is what you are looking to do). So it may not be worth the $25, for something that won't even get the bands you want.

Broken processor/softbricked?

So, I got an HTC One M8 of a friend of mine. I tried to repair the phone as it was in a bootloop. However, even after installing several different roms it wouldn't start. I noticed another strange thing; Whenever I want to go from the bootloader to recovery, it takes absolutely ages (read: 10-15 minutes) to actually get to this. I tried it with a custom recovery as well as the stock recovery. This makes me think it has something to do with the CPU?
So far I've tried different ROMs, a nandroid backup, updating my firmware and (unsuccesfully) finding a RUU file for my HTC M8. I have included the getvar information for further possible details:

how you copied a wrong getvar result ? just curious !!!!
AFAIK the RUU isn't available for this device variant ( sorry for that )

I posted the getvar in another thread in which other people also posted theirs, so I accidentally copied someone else's info!
And I was afraid of that as I have been looking for it as well... Is there maybe a generic RUU file that works for most m8 devices?

no every device variant have it's own RUU ( available or not )
your best solution ( i'm afraid it's the only ) is to restore a stock backup then flash the signed firmware

yea, just tried this again, didn't work, was stuck again on the o1ne screen after the vodafone logo. after installing a custom rom (android revolution HD 53.1) it was also stuck on the same screen. the last time it was stuck on this screen, it didn't get any further after a full 8+ hours of waiting. I waited for an hour on both flashings, but nothing at all...
Thanks for assisting me so far anyway

bump!
I really would want to use this phone...
