[Q] Can i run these roms on my phone? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i see that this subforum is MUCH more active than the Sprint subforum, I currently have the sprint htc one m8. I've been looking at the CM12 roms and i wanted to know if i can install them and still be able to use my sprint service? Again, sorry if this is a stupid question.
Current phone: Sprint HTC ONE M8

I'd search the thread on keyword Sprint. And see if its mentioned. And if it's not in the OP, you could ask.
Keep in mind, most roms in the international section are for GSM phones... I believe.

Alright, I knew it was a stretch and was just hoping it was possible to somehow make it work with Sprint. Anyways thank you for actually replying.

I didn't say it doesn't work... But you can search the thread for Sprint mentions and see.

Alright i will search the Sprint subforum relating to using gsm roms on sprint
*Edit
I searched the Sprint Q/A and couldn't find anything, i also forgot to mention my phone is S-ON. I have a feeling you would need S-OFF for this to be even remotely possible?

What, close the thread you mean? Why we should have to post to another thread about supposedly official ROMs I don't know
According to HTC site
"*This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."

At the moment, the forums are seeing a large number of threads such as this - all this thread seems to be doing is providing the notification and link - if you keep these all in one place it makes searching easier.
Also, stuff about ROMs usually goes in the ROM section of the forum, rather than the general section.
The best place would probably to put the link in the wiki actually, now that I think about it.
I do understand your point about the other thread tho as that links to another site anyway, and is aimed at Tom's releases. But then again if you post the link there it provides an alternative to his, so maybe it is a good idea after all.
I only commented as I had just seen about three threads in the Rom forums that were like this one and closed by Dave.

Getting new Evo 4g Tuesday some questions

Galaxy Nexus - AT&T

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=galaxy_nexus_hspa
I know there's GSM support for it. I'm unfamiliar with AOSP devices. Will there be, or is there good developer support for the device when used with AT&T? I'm coming from a SGS 2 SkyRocket.
If you're not using the GSM version on AT&T there's probably no reason for you to be a troll.
Have you seriously not read a thread or news article in the last 24 hours?
That's not an AT&T Galaxy Nexus. Its an unlocked i9250 GSM model. Works on AT&T, T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier in the US/World. Its the same (save for pre-installed Google Wallet) as the European model that's been sold for the last 5+ months.
Seriously?
Google Officially Selling Galaxy Nexus GSM in USA via Play Store ($399)
On the first page of this forum.
I understand that... The phone will work on AT&T. Never said AT&T is selling it. FFS I linked to the Google page for it.
I just seen this today. The question is: is it worth it? If there's not going to be any developers working on it. It's probably not worth it to me. I'd probably just get the SGS 3.

Please just leave this thread and go join the other ones. You clearly have not read about the device, because it is the EXACT SAME as the other ones. It won't be a special phone that requires different ROMs or development. The phone has been on sale for over 5 months.

No, we're not trolls, we're just tired of people that are uninformed creating irrelevant, duplicate threads before searching or even reading the titles of the threads on the first page of the forum.
Obviously this phone has developer support, it's a Nexus. It doesn't matter what freaking SIM card you put in the back of it, its still the same device. GSM device support is GSM device support. Read. Please!

FFS ppl the OP was just asking a question. Yes the GN sold by Google is supported by AOSP and will have [email protected]!# ton of ROM and development going for a long time
Per your suggestion I've looked through the last 5 pages and there's a couple that's semi similar to mine. The official announcement: which I could try to start a conversation there and it get lost in the general chatter about it, and another question like mine but about the battery. I could hijack his thread. That would be cool? Instead of trolling, which most of the replies have been, you could have said something like "I seen a post earlier that might help out". The replies have been absolute crap. If you're tired of seeing it ignore it.
I'm Never used an AOSP device, or an international device. Before I bought it I thought I would come over kick up a conversation with some people that have a GN and ask some questions. General stuff about development on it. Is there a difference between this one and the international version.
The way you people responded to someone that has never been in this specific device's forum, or messed with any variant of the device before is not right.

Thank you!! I'll talk to you.
Thinking about buying it. Never used or paid much attention to AOSP devices because AT&T doesn't sell them. Are there any catches coming from Non-AOSP devices? I wasn't sure if there's any catches to using the international GSM roms with AT&T. Completely clueless here. I don't necessarily have time to read every post for 10 pages. Looking for a general overview of my questions.
You asked a really obvious question which is why people are responding to you the way they are. The question also doesn't make much sense since it is hard to believe that you this little about this phone. I think you are asking if the Galaxy Nexus works well with AT&T. The answer is yes. It also works well with any GSM network provider. There is good development for this phone, and nothing has to be or will be unique to AT&T.
There's no catches to using this phone with AT&T. Everything works great. Well actually, there are a few catches, I wouldn't get this phone if you were hoping to have:
1. Delayed software updates, or no updates at all
2. Terrible superimposed user interface that is more buggy
3. Lots of bloatware like AT&T Navigator just in case you wanted to pay AT&T for something Google gives for free and does a better job at.
If you are looking for any of those, then yeah, that's the only catch.
Why would I every look into a phone that I can't use? It has nice specs. I can't use it. Close. What's obvious to you isn't so obvious to someone else. Maybe it's all exactly the same as what I'm used to, or maybe there's some stuff you you "just know from experience" that I wouldn't know.
I read your post twice and I have no idea what you were trying to say.

Maybe a better question is: "Do the GSM ROMS work correctly on AT&T without any catches? If there is a catch are the developer pretty quick to help fix, or do the developers ignore AT&T"
I know this is not a primary AT&T device so I know the support is going to be back burner. I just want to know how back burner it is.

This is what I'm saying. You have a very very weak understanding of how this works. Do you really think that there are specific ROMs and tweaks for all of the dozens of carriers people are using this device on? Its an unlocked GSM device. There's no special software needed. You put in your SIM card.
Developers suppor the device. Not the network.

[rom]{dev}Help port rom to CSpire gs3

Hey guys,
After many attempts and long hours of research and trial and error, I have decided that none of the Sprint GS3 roms will work completely on the CSpire GS3. All functions work properly with the exception of data. I have pulled my stock PRL and loaded it to several different roms after a fresh flash and not once was data achieved. That tells me that there is either some settings that need to be altered or some code needs to be changed. I unfortunately have a very limited understanding of coding in linux. I as well as many other new GS3 owners would really appreciate a dev looking into this matter. Contact me and I will be willing to get you whatever information you need. Thank you very much?
I apologize if this is in the wrong area, but i felt that since this could result in a new rom, that the devs needed to see this post.

OK so i pulled my RIL file and flashed CM10 pasted RIL in LIB and rebooted, still no data. If this is not the correct way for use stock RIL in CM10 please let me know. It appears as if CM10 does not know how to control my radio. Any devs wanna help tackle this project? If so there would be many CSpire GS3 owners that would be very appreciative.
Ya why go and post in the wrong section? Its not like people didnt respond to your other one. I've personally PM'd 3 or 4 people in the other thread including the OP of both.

Trust me, I voiced what most people think. If every one who had a question for a dev, would start a new thread in development, then it will just become a question and answer thread. Only development belongs there.
Thankfully it's in the right section now and hopefully someone can help you guys.

If you could pul to RIL files from the stock rom on your phone you could possibly replace them

No. Currently on cspire 20005 prl. And without a flashable prl file I'm not willng to risk flashing a sprint prl.

Cant get dfs or qpst to see my phone so cant back up prl. But I'm in agreement that I dont think the prl is the issue. I think it has to do with something in the code being different for our phones. Maybe something along the lines of the issues that the verizon users were having with the RIL. I'm away from my computer so I cant get u a copy of my stock nandroid backup, but will do that as soon as I get home from work around 3 this morning central time.

I got one posted in the other thread. Straight up restored it to my sprint gs3. Works better than the actual sprint one. I made a ROM and Odin restore which I'll post in a minute.
AND TO ANY STOCK ROOTED USERS ON SPRINT: I recommend flashing it. Works perfect and stock tethering is fully functional. Worth trying out
Did you try to flash any tw roms? It might be something in the rom. Try the jb leak for the sprint one. Might get lucky
Stock restore rom for Cspire:

Other roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32567265&postcount=32

Am I correct that we cannot yet root a locked Verizon HTC One M9?

Just wanna make sure my reading is correct. Is it true that there is no root method yet for the HTC One M9 from Verizon yet (unless I was lucky enough to receive an unlocked one)? Want to purchase one, but this answer may sway my decision.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Incorrect. It's possible, but not pretty or easy.

Also, this is the wrong forum; this is for GSM M9s. Very little in this forum is going to be usable on your phone.
