Hello. I have a AT&T branded HTC One M8. No longer with ATT , the device is unlocked and being currently used with T-Mobile. Everything works fine. I went back to KitKat since not a big fan of lollipop since couldn't get battery life to be as excellent as KK. I did the 4.4.4 RUU for ATT and flash CM11 and everything worked perfectly, except signal. The signal drops so much to where in places that I normally had 4G LTE in I would drop to emergency calls only. But only going to kitkat. Whenever I was on Lollipop my signal was perfect, I'd use the latest ATT RUU for M8, then go to somewhere like LeeDroid. So after that rant, Can I use the T-Mobile RUU, or could someone point out a specific radio that I could use with Kitkat on T-Mobile network to where signal ought to work?
I would suggest the T-Mob RUU for best performance on the T-Mob network.
You'll need s-off, and then change to the T-Mob CID and MID to run the T-Mob RUU. Also, no need to relock the bootloader to RUU once you've done s-off.

Do I still need to if I'm Super CID? Also currently on Skydragon, used on of their modified firmware for T-Mobile. Seems to be working good. But still suggest to go ahead with what you stated?

If you are on the Lollipop T-Mob US firmware and Skydragon, you should be good to go. Do you have any signal issues with this setup?
To answer your CID questions (just as FYI, or in case you end up wanting to run T-Mob RUU), SuperCID will satisfy (pass) the CID check. But you still would need to change to the T-Mob MID (model ID). MID is a separate check from CID. You need to pass both to run the RUU.

Alrighty! Thanks for the MID info. My signal seems to be a lot better. I always was on HSPA+ with full bars, now getting around 2-3 bars of LTE. So cant complain about that since I live a little outside of town. Thank you for you assistance!

Hey guys,
I own an original unlocked M9 (1.32.617.30) and want to convert it to the international model for the quicker updates.
Just got it S-OFF and wanted to make sure I got the rest of the steps right:
1. Change MID to 0PJA10000
2. Change CID to 11111111 (or to HTC__001? which is better?)
3. Run 1.32.401.17 RUU (is it possible to run 1.40.401.8 RUU instead? or do I need to flash a 1.32 base first?)
Cheers! Trying to avoid a bricked phone :angel:

Who is your carrier?
You shouldn't need to change your mid. Just change to super cid and you can flash the latest firmware and any custom rom you want.
If you're AT&T, the 401 firmware should work seamlessly, you just probably will not get voLte. If you're tired mobile, 401 firmware should also work, but no Wi-Fi calling (you should confirm this because I'm really not sure). If you're Verizon or Sprint, I have no idea, but I think you're sol and have to wait until they release an update. .
Edit: nevermind about carrier stuff. Didn't see that you have dev edition. 401 firmware should all work.

I'm not in the US, but europe. I've bought the phone through HTC US and that's why i'm on 617.
Regarding the MID, it is only because it is listed as a step here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/att-developer-edition-ruu-how-to-t3086948
And when you say "flash latest firmware" what do you mean exactly? should I install 1.40 RUU or 1.32.401.17 RUU first? I really want to know Im flashing the right file now that i'm S-OFF.

Gotcha. I didn't understand your desires. I thought you were basically asking how to upgrade your firmware and flash a rom. Probably you should ask in that thread and maybe clsA or someone else in that thread can give you specific advise. I assume you're looking to convert to stock 401/0PJA10000 and receive official otas?
This might help you as well.. its an A,B, C ... guide
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-restore-htc-one-m9-to-stock/
From what Im aware, I thought Sunshine 3.17 only supports 501... arent we on 502?
Thanks guys I followed the guide from clsA and it worked perfectly. :good:
Yup! If you have a GSM M-9 than it's easy as pie! S-OFF, Super CID, Flash Firmware, Flash Rom! BAM! DONE!
Hi all,
I have recently surrendered and got s-off using sunshine.
I managed to RUU the AT&T ROM, but I want to get a clean unbranded ROM, that is unrooted - basically a factory-reset unbranded phone.
is that possible?
every RUU except the ATT one doesnt work for me...
thanks in advance.

You'll need to change the CID and MID to run another carrier's RUU.
Alternately, instead of an RUU, you can flash a custom ROM, or stock ROM (such as stock DevEd MM ROM posted in Development), which will work fine on LP firmware. This would require an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

is there any risk involved in changing my MID to a Europe one assuming the device is AT&T from the US?
any danger in running that RUU?
I already have TWRP and am unlocked.
Forgot to mention that because of my work I cant use a custom ROM (had Viper till now)..

As long as you follow the instruction carefully and exactly, there is little risk in changing the CID and MID. For the MID in particular, be sure to get the location correct for the parameter you are changing (the instructions advise to cut and paste the command, to prevent a typo) otherwise you can do some permanent damage.
Once you've changed to the proper CID, MID, running the Euro RUU is not any more risk than running an AT&T one. The phones are the same in hardware.

cool, will give it a go, thanks!
Im not sure i understand everything perfectly. I have just got my HTC10 from tmobile, so its a tmobile us branded htc 10. Unlocked bootloader, S-off'd and did some other crap. Clearly tmobile is lagging on firmware releases. So my question is, can any firmware be flashed on my device now?(like the RUUs on htcdev.com)? Say for specific example, the unlocked/developer RUU? Im sure i would have to write supercid, but other than that, is this a common practice to flash firmware not from the carrier on carrier-branded devices? Will this mess anything up? Thanks
If the "some other crap" that you did was change the cid and mid to match the US unlocked HTC 10 then yes, you can flash the US unlocked RUU. For any RUU you want to flash, make sure the CID and MID match that RUU or it'll give an error. Don't use super CID.. Use the correct CID/MID for the RUU. It won't mess anything up.. You'll still have your Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE with T-Mobile. Enjoy the updated software once you're done.

Hey guys! I´ve got my 10 S-off'ed and model changed from HTC__060 (Indian) to HTC_001 (WWE), re-locked bootloader and tried to run RUU but get error 155 (latest RUU http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...17.2.exe?_ga=1.123429256.280992434.1479770968 ).
I'm currently on 1.95.400.3 , I´m trying to run RUU as it's the easiest way to get everything back to stock. MID was and stills being 2PS620000 . Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
btw I assume I won't get any radio issues, am I right?

I duno why ypu would relock bootloader but anyways the RUU you are trying to flash is for US devices. Seeing you changed cid to WWE you need the latest x.xx.401.x RUU. it can be found in a zip you can rename the zip to 2PS6IMG.zip and place on external sd card, boot to downlaod mode and follow the prompts. Atm i dont think the latest is available but just flash the newest you can find then take the ota.

The radio is included in RUU. I dont know if your network will be effected or not, you will have to find out yourself. You can flash a different radio if need be.

you can always flash the HTC__060 radio.img after the International RUU (1.xx.401.x) and see if that gives you service.
I know for Verizon, we can flash the US Unlocked RUU (1.xx.617.x) and then the latest Verizon radio.img and it gives working service.
I would:
1) flash latest .401 RUU
2) boot and see if you have service
3) if not boot to download mode and:
fastboot flash radio HTC__060_radio.img

Finally ended up booting into download mode setting cid to BS__001 and set MID 2PS650000 before running US Unlocked/ Developer RUU. I can only get 3.5G (also called as H+ or 4G). But I'm not able to get LTE. I'm from Argentina (South America), and my M9 from T-Mobile works great on LTE. Now on the HTC 10 I'm actually on 1.96.617.20. Any thoughts? As I runned that RUU I would see no reason on flashing Verizon radio, I'm I right? Thanks!

I think you are correct, but I have no idea. I would flash a ROM such as Viper, Leedroid, Ice, etc.. and choose T-Mobile. This will add into the ROM the necessary components to help get you LTE. Right now you are on the RUU Stock US Unlocked 1.96.617.20 ROM, so it isn't going to fully support T-Mobile.
(What is your carrier? Why do you ask about flashing Verizon radio? Only flash Verizon radio if you are on Verizon network)
--It sounds as though you are on T-Mobile network, so first step flash ROM that supports T-Mobile as mentioned above, and if need, we can try flashing the T-Mobile radio.img next.

Hey! My M9 was debranded from T-Mobile to Dev Edition. And still worked like a charm. I'm on Movistar Argentina, LTE bands here are AWS 4 and band 28. Don't see the reason it ain't working to be honest, maybe a config problem? First time I ever buy an European variant.

You may not get those bands because of hardware. I think this has been mentioned before especially with band 28

I thought of following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-change-network-bands-gsm-devices-t3135401 maybe it's locked? Thanks!
I currently have a customer who has HTC One M9 at my house and it is the AT&T variant. They have it carrier unlocked so that it works on the T-Mobile service provider. Problem is they keep dropping GPS signal so I tried to check what their software version is. It looks like they have software version 5.0. I tried to use the are ruu to update it, but every time it gets into download mode to start loading the file or bootloader mode rather it just tells me that the phone is not the right software. I'm using the AT&T ruu. Is there any reason why this is not working? I also tried the carrier unlocked version but the phone is clearly of AT&T pedigree
Cid and mid needs to be known
Currently running super Sid but previously was AT&T Sid. I can change the SIDS anything I want with Chimera tools. I don't know what the mid is though I'm not even sure what a mid is
Changing the CID without changing the firmware has the same effect as drinking snake oil. In addition the SuperCID prevents the M9 from accepting OTAs. You should take a look at the ReadMe thread. All information you might need are either there or linked in the further reading section of that thread.
I personally don't think that people should use such tools as the one that you mentioned. You don't know what kind of commands the tool is actually using so that you don't have any control about what's happening to the phone. (Not to mention that you don't learn how to fix a problem if the tool fails due to whatever reason.) Most of the features that tool is offering for HTC devices are available for free and don't take longer than a handful of minute if done manually.

If I load the t-mobile cid will it take the tmobile ruu?
CID 11111111
MID OPJA11000
Need this to run on tmobile network. It is an AT&Tb phone
No, changing the CID is not enough since the MID of the T-Mobile US variant isn't the same as the one for the AT&T version. As said before, please read the ReadMe thread. The RUUs are sorted by MID and CID, there, and the conversion guide tells you what to do for converting one version of the M9 to another. Be aware that the US T-Mobile variant RUUs are not the ones at the top of the download section. Those are the ones for T-Mobile Germany and T-Mobile Poland.
I converted it to an AT&T unlocked
