[Q] HTC One M8 Developer Edition

Hi
I am thinking of getting the HTC one M8 Developer Edition. Do all models have the same chipset just to be sure. if so is to possible to mod or change the radio file to an Europe or Asia radio file since the boot loader is unlocked.
I have found that in HTC middle east site it says LTE AT&T: 700/850/AWS/1800/1900/2600 is that correct can some with a Developer Edition confirm ?

If you S-OFF and Super CID you'll be able to flash the WWE firmware if you wish.

So with this i can access the LTE band(3) and Band (7) ?
So it changes radio file ?

Super edition for HTC.

Can anyone confirm if it is possible to change the LTE band by flashing a WWE firmware?

Any RUU for HTC 2.5ghz version

I converted my M8 HTC_622 to european version while back to update to android l. But I didn't like it. Now I need RUU for any HTC Asian variant. There lots of them only for european?. I am s-off by the way.

Information of swap firmware

Hi guys, im people that live and speak italian
One question information:
I have HTc M9 International Model, S-Off with sunshine, rooted, with rom Viper 4.3.0, firmware 3.35.401.12 ; i want to update this firmware with 3.35.617.12 unlocked version!
My question is: Flash only firmware and radio with fastboot command or download latest ruu 3.35.617.12 and re-install all? I'm confused
I thanks for user that help!!!

I seriously doubt there are meaningful differences in those two versions, but being s-off, you only need to flash the firmware in download mode. No need for a RUU.

If you are asking difference between 3.35.401 and 3.35.617 the answer is nothing. 3.35.XXX.XX that is how you should check for updates. Android/Sense is the exact same on both of them, only difference is the area they are meant to operate in. The firmware difference depends on the area you live and network. It might help battery life or it might not.
X.XX.401 International (WWE) Model
X.XX.617 U.S.A Developer Edition

thanks guys, i'm sured that developer edition is newest and improve m9 in reason to firmware WWE. thanks, thanks thanks

[solved] Actual CID list? Which CID will be the best?

Hello,
in the past I've reset my CID to get updates ASAP and doesn't depends on my Carriers Fun.
In the Updates the third number makes the difference if updates apply to the flashed Image (i.e. x.xx.401.xxx) I'd understand (?). And of course which CID the phone has. If there is an actual list which CIDs are given? And: In my case I've CID HTC__001 which means WorldWideEnglish, but I didn't receive (Unlocked, S-OFF) the 7.0 updates for the M9.
I've seen that there is a Update for 617 ("Gen Unlock" named on HTCdev) with 7.0. What does 617 means? I didn't found anything about this code. Is it relative new? What it stand for? Is it recommended to set CID tu Super-CID 11111111 and Flash this RUU? What are the consequence if I Flash a 617 RUU?

C.f. Q2 and Q9.
I installed the 4.14.401.7 OTA yesterday evening via the software update function of the stock rom (CID: HTC__102). Has your phone originally been branded by a carrier? If yes, did you only change your CID or did you flash the corresponding RUU, as well. If you forgot to do the latter you're still using a carrier-branded firmware. Look at the line with "OS" at the beginning that is stated in the download mode for checking your current firmware version.
SKU 617 is the US equivalent of the European SKU 401. In case of the M9, SKU 617 is the one which receives new updates first. There shouldn't be too much differences between 401 and 617 firmwares aside from some continent-specific optimisations. Several European users here on xda are currently using a 617 firmware.
The SCID seems to prevent the M9 from receiving/installing OTAs. Therefore, you should better use a CID that corresponds to the SKU of the firmware you're using/want to use.
Nevertheless, there is no "best CID" or "best firmware". Unbranded SKUs receive updates earlier but some carrier-branded firmwares support VoLTE and/or WiFi-Calling. In other words every SKU has its pros and cons.

Thank you very much for all the Information -helps a lot!
The M9 was a T-Mobile Germany brand, so I'd set S-OFF and CID HTC__001 and flashed 1.32.401.17. The phone received updates OTA, now is 3.35.401.32 (seenable at download mode as well), but waiting now three months for Nougat so I thought I've more luck with the 617 (never seen this number before) and started this thread (after efforting Google a much).
May you have a link to a oversight of actual numbers like 401, 617 and 111 and so on?
And last questions: if I'd a look on htcdev.com Downloads, the Downloads are marked with "Type" MR, MR2 and CRC, and Region "Gen Unlock" -do you know what this means? Is "Gen Unlock" the Region which is different by model, so that i.e. the M7 will have the 401 as "Gen Unlock" and receive updates first? And which CID I've to set for a proper installed 617? For an A9 I'd found BS_US001 for unlocked phoned. Will that also fit for an M9?

I don't know which keywords you searched for but the ReadMe thread which is pinned above the normal threads here in the General Section and in the Q&A Section mentions the SKU several times and so do many other threads here on xda...

HTCdev only provides kernel and other source codes. If you don't want to make your own custom rom those files are pretty much useless for you.
As said in my last post SKU 617 is the US equivalent of the European SKU 401. If you buy a US carrier-branded phone then it comes sim-locked. As an alternative you can buy a generic (sim-)unlocked variant directly from HTC. In addition, there's the so called developer edition of the M9 (which is actually just the sim-unlocked variant with a factory unlocked bootlader). Therefore a M7 with SKU 401 is technically not able to be "Gen Unlock" since a phone can't have two SKUs at the same time.

Did you mean the links in your Signature? In the post isn't one provided. (tried chrome and IE11).

I thought 617 is direct from htc (dev) and 401 is just a sim unlocked version of the gsm?.

The Unlocked Variant is the one with CID BS__US001. The only difference between this variant and the SKU 401 variants are the continent-specific optimisations (e.g. different supported frequencies). Both are just sim-unlocked GSM models. The only "special" characteristics of the dev edition are that its CID is BS__US002 (instead of BS__US001) and that its bootloader is unlocked already when the phone leaves HTC's factory. That's it. If I remember correctly, older HTC phones had a different SKU for the dev edition (1540 or something like that). In addition, the dev edition hasn't always been the variant that receives the updates first. There was a time when the Taiwanese version (SKU 709) was the first variant that received updates due to HTC being a Taiwanese company. But that was before the M9 got launched.

Htc one M9 ATT

Guys i bought this htc one m9 ATT variant it has android 5.1.1 lollipop and its S-off and htc dev unlocked already can you guide me how to reach offical htc m9 nougat rom with twrp recovery thanks

Get back to stock (= stock recovery and an untouched system image) and install HTC's OTAs via the software update function of the phone. All needed information can be found in the ReadMe thread.

recovery is stock if i press the update option it says no update is availble and makes me wait 24 hour before update so OTA are no go for me

Then your MID and or CID probably don't match the ones that belong to AT&T's SKU (502). If you could post the output of fastboot getvar all (without your IMEI) here we might be able to solve that problem. In addition, it might be useful if you could post the MID that is engraved at the bottom of the back-side of your phone.
Aside from that, are you sure that AT&T already distributed android 7 for the M9? HTC's US website only provides an android 6 RUU. If you don't care about the AT&T stuff and on your phone and want to get android 7 now you could convert it to the Dev edition (SKU 617). A conversion guide can be found in the ReadMe thread.

At least here in the United States, the developer edition of the M9 is the only SKU that has received Android 7 Nougat - none of the carrier versions have Nougat.
