HTC M9 rom on M8 phone - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, there is currently no more ROM update for the M8 in the forum. I am wondering whether I can use the M9 ROMs found here to flash into my M8.
Is it possible and is it safe to do so?

As a general rule, roms written for one phone will not work on another. This also often applies even between different models of the same phone. At best, it will just fail to flash; at worst, you can get a hardbrick.

Can I Flash Custom ROMS Which is for Unlocked on T-Mobile Version?

I am gonna buy a T-Mobile HTC One M8 from a friend. I want to use custom ROMs which is for Unlocked version. Is it possible or not?
Actually I want to use ROMs at One (M8) Android Development section. What I have to do that? I always used unlocked Samsung phones and don't know anything about this.
If you help till tomorrow, it's gonna be awesome!

[Q] Would this work?

Could I flash a rom for the One Plus One to the HTC One M8 (I'm guessing no), and no I don't want to turn my device into a One Plus One I wan't to run a rom built for it.
No. You'd likely brick your device.
You flash roms made for your device. Roms from other devices need to ported to the M8 by a developer, or anyone who knows what they're doing.
So not a good idea.

[Q] Can custom rom's firmware base be different then what my phone came with?

Hi everyone, enjoying my awesome M9 like everyone else =D
and its time to move on to the custom rom goodness.
I can't seem to find an answer to the question. (maybe its too obvious? coming from s3)
Mine is a M9 (hong kong), with 1.32.708.15 (s-On) and all the custom roms are 1.32.401.17 based.
Is it safe to Flash it?
This is the only info i managed to find at the ARHD 5.0 OP with regards to the question.
"- If your current firmware version doesn't match ROM firmware version, wiping data inside AROMA is highly recommended!"
Would be nice if I can get some confirmation from you guys.
Yes it is fine right now since it is the same base. Get soff while you can so flashing firmware in the future is easy. Remember always backup first. Use twrp 2864

I did this on the M8 before, I had problems with the wifi and it took ages to boot until I found out that my firmware is old and different from the rom.
Anyway, I did what you are trying to do yesterday, (firmware 15/ rom 17) for a couple of minutes, didnt find any problems.
Before you flash any ROM, BACKUP your system and move it to your PC and use the latest TWRP
Thats good to hear! I'm gonna give it a try once i'm back in town! Thx!
Please Help me!

ONLY. use firmware for your phone. if you flash a gsm firmware on a cdma phone you are asking for trouble, big time.

Got myself a M8s

So... I got myself a M8s and after e qouple of weeks I thought I root it, install a cusom recovery and a nice custom rom. But I get confused... Are there any Roms for the M8s? Are they the same as for the M8 or aren't there any for the M8s at all?
Used to easier flashing with Samsung, Oneplus 2 and LG. Any easy way to find the tools needed for flashing and rooting?
To be clear... I'm on stock 6.0.1
There is a thread already on here about CM12.1 just for the m8s. Its running pretty smooth with little to no bugs.
