Need help in identifying a compatible rom

I have AT&T flavor of m8. I have heard that people are flashing roms from international versions to AT&T versions. Something like this used to be a big no no.
1. Can someone please help me in identifying how is this possible?
2. Which ROMs from this m8 forum can I install on my AT&T version?
I'm S_offed.

I have the att m8 which I converted fully to gpe...can't go back to sense till ruu's become available later if I wanted to...anyway the reason international Roms work is because the att version is pretty much the same hardware as international/gpe... Any ROM from the international side will work... Before I did the ruu gpe conversion...I ran viper arhd insert coin virtuous renovate on my att m8 with no issues.

Ok, I really want to try a few roms from international section. Is there any rom that I have to avoid?

As you are s-off, could you not update your cid and firmware? Then you are free to flash any rom.
I'm not really clued up on carrier branded phones through so I could be mistaken.

I was wondering if modem or any driver component meant for specific version of hardware is included in Rom, and I flash it over to AT&T version, then will it not be a problem? But I think it really not is an issue.

CID/MID has nothing to do with roms, the only time this comes into play is if you are trying to OTA or RUU back to stock, RUU and OTA check the CID/MID and determine whether or not the model is compatible with that particular OTA/RUU... As for modems, generally roms do not include radios/basebands, most roms are just system/boot, if a radio is included it is more then likely stated in the Devs OP, also with S-Off its easy enough to fix radio issues should you run into this. As I said the ATT variant is based off the international and gpe variant hence any rom will work.

You don't need to update the firmware. You can flash any gsm Rom. They pretty much all have the att apn but if not just manually input it.

[Q] GPE on a regular One M8?

I am thinking about buying a One M8 and I was just wondering if one can install the Google Play Edition on a regular One M8, if I am not happy with the Sense Gui and want a plain Android?
Also what will I be missing, if any, if I install the GPE?
Regards,
BTJ

Yes. You'll lose sense features. There's a couple threads about it already. Xda has a nifty search feature.

This. I'm running this myself and it kicks ass. Every bit as smooth as Sense in my case.

Why are you guys linking a page for GSM phones only in a Verizon m8 section? Has it been moded so you can get the ota updates with the Verizon variants now?

No. But all gsm One m8s can flash any gsm rom. If you change the Cid/mid or supercid and flash stock recovery you can receive otas for the variant you flashed. Though, most devs incorporate the updates from otas into their roms fairly quickly.
Suffice it to say I never really understood people's obsessions with getting otas right as their released.

So whenever an android update is released, there will be a new gpe rom available to download shortly thereafter? Or will there just be an update for the gpe rom?
Thanks

Yes there will be updates, it might be a full rom or OTA, depends on the dev. And normally you get it before it would be pushed from the carrier anyway

[Q] FW 2.12 issues??

So the new ARHD 9.1 requires the 4.4.3 firmware (2.12.401.3). Has anyone with T-mobile m8 have any issues flashing this firmware? I ask because the last time i flashed a fw it bricked my phone doing the same methods i've always done on previous phones.

You have 4.4.3 on your T-Mobile M8? I only have 4.4.2

No, I was asking if anybody with a T-Mobile m8 has flashed the 2.X firmware since its required to run any Rom based off the leaked 4.4.3 build
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I would advise against it. I ran ARHD up to version 8.1 on the 1.57 T-Mobile firmware just fine. But I'm not going to flash FW designed for different hardware just to run a leaked and most likely incomplete version of android 4.4.3.
I'd advise to wait for T-Mobile to release their official 4.4.4 update and flash that firmware. Then you should have no issue running the most up to date version of ARHD. Until then just stick to 8.1.

I'd advise against it. Just wait until T-Mo releases their firmware along with 4.4.4.

I've got one from Vodafone. Pretty sure it's unlocked. Unfortunately the Australian HTC 10 has a different region code from Asian sets. It's 710 instead of 709. So no, we have yet to receive the update.

It's fine with HTC 10 because they are all shipped with standard hardware and specs. You just gotta change your device Cid to super cid and you're good to go. Essentially making your device region free, allowing you to flash any region Rom.
There are quite a few guides in the Android development section about unlocking the bootloader, changing to super cid and flashing custom Rom or Rom of different region. HTC 10 doesn't come with something like Samsung Knox so it's pretty hard to brick your phone but still possible if you f up.

You can flash any roms once you have unlocked boot loader. Flash TWRP and make system image before anything. If you want to change CID or firmwares once bootloader unlocked, you will need to be s-off or return to stock. See sunshine soff for that. BTW I'm Telstra (optus sim) unlocked with 121.841.xxx

Doesn't matter if its from a carrier or outright, HTC in Australia has the same firmware for all of them and it gets released the same time. Just buy the phone from a carrier so you can have 2 years of warranty and not one as it is for an outright handset. I bought the M9 from Harvey Norman (outright) and still haven't recieved the 6.0.1 Marshmallow update because HTC as i said they update the phone the same time.

It is different firmware for each carrier. Read back and you will see we have different firmwares. The update may be the same, however different firmware. Unless soff, you will only be able to use your own firmware. Once soff, you can super CID and flash any firmware, no need to wait for ota updates. With m9 and soff, you could now be on mm firmware 3.35.401.10.

I do understand all of this I have been reading alot of info about soff and cid and all that. So if I were to flash leedroid ROM I would need to supercid? This is why I have stuck with Nexus phones. So I have to pay for an app to soff before flashing a custom ROM...

No, just unlock bootloader using HTCDev website. Flash TWRP using fastboot. Backup system image when in TWRP. Then install leedroid without wiping, all good.

Thanks but that's the bit I don't understand because his ROM is European base firmware.

Does not matter, it is based off that release. You can still flash rom (I am using it now on telstra firmware). All Roms will work, including incoming viper rom????. If you want to upgrade firmware, you will need soff and go super CID, or return to stock to receive ota update once released. I am s-on BTW. No need to soff just yet imo.

Once on custom rom, you will not receive firmware updates automatically. That is where soff comes in handy, cause you can flash them using fastboot, rather than returning to stock. Hope that helps you a bit.

I understand now haha thanks. Can you flash ruu to go back to stock and updated when on custom ROM? Once ruu are released of coarse

Here be the latest tmobile US firmware for the htc 10 - https://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10-t-mobile/news/. I myself flashed the US unlocked/developer firmware, but that requires S-off and changing your CID. Im pretty sure either firmware set will be ok for any current rom you wish to flash, as most require version 1.80.x atleast. If you plan on keeping to stock rom, I would for sure recommend flashing the unlocked/dev firmware due to less bloat, even though the tmobile firmware is pretty clean. Good luck
