Question is it wise to go to WWE model or just go to US unlocked model?
In my past experience with HTC sometimes the WWE variant gets updates first sometimes the US Does

Unlocked US is fully compatible with T-Mobile US, not sure if the WWE is.

So I change the CID to BS_US001 correct? Do i need to change the other number too? forgot what it was called.
No. The mid is the same
If you convert to wwe that's what it is... You also lose some bands and tweaks meant for us networks

i plan on just changing it to unbranded US unlocked version and not the WWE that's why I was asking if any differences between each one. Just to confirm BS_US001 is for the US unlocked version correct? and I don't have to change the MID?

Hi everyone, i just need a clarifying answer: i have a no brand european one x (i'm running 1.29.401.7) and i didn't get the latest ota yet, so i tried to flash it through the stock recovery, but i got "cid error".
Now, my cid is HTC_016, how come i have an european version and (for what i know) a south african cid? Is that possible?
I tried the european RUU but it can't be installed, so, what strange combination do i have??
Edit: i discovered my phone has a Vodafone South Africa CID, why do i have a 401 european software version?
Thanks!
I think your cid is for South Africa, this is why you didn't get the update
here is the list for cid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16186408&postcount=1
Its for the Sensation but I think its the same for Hox
Yep it is, so i don't understand why is it an european version anyway.. is cid different from branding? My software is the same 401 like the Eu no brand versions.. this phone is a mystery

cid htc_016 and UK htc_001

Your HBOOT version is important. You should find a description how to find out in the tutorials, too

Since it is locked to Vodafone it must be vodafone branded, and if it's carrier branded generally I think it might be 1.01.0002. At least that was the case with my friend, who was 3 branded.

Just wanted to make sure that he will follow the correct instructions for his HBOOT lol - But you're right - obviously - branded = HBOOT 1.01.0002 (if there aren't some exceptions).
To answered your second question, there is no way (currently) to free SIM unlock it.
Try talking to the carrier.

thats because the americans cant agree to use the same radio frequencies for their networks, so companies need to make different models for each carrier.
i bought myself an used phone on o2, s-off'd it, changed the cid to GOOGL01 and flashed the GPE conversion RUU. HTC__001 is the sim free cid if you want to flash a sense RUU to completely unbrand your device

You'll be good with international based ROMs. You wouldn't be good with others. The O2 M8 is International WWE. You may have to update your firmware though, to run the latest ROMs, otherwise your wifi will not work.
Hello.
I read a guide on how to convert anything to a Developer Edition device running Lollipop. I noticed something interesting: y'know that the WWE M8s are all SKU 401? Then why is the Developer Edition 1540? The CID is different too: WWE ones all start with HTC__ (e.g HTC__032) wile the Developer Edition is BS_US002? So what is going on here and why is the Developer Edition M8 different from the WWE one?

They're sold as different phones and need to be identified as such. Different updates come downstream for them. Basically the same reason my Rogers HTC One has yet another CID/MID, as do the T-Mobile, Orange, Telus, O2, etc.

OK, I get why there carriers have different versions. But isn't the Developer Edition pretty much the same as a WWE Unlocked one, just with an unlocked bootloader? And if the bootloader isn't unlocked, why does it even exist?

There are different ROMs. Yeah, they're probably almost identical, but not quite. I doubt I can get more specific than that... maybe they have different APNs installed? Possibly different levels of bloatware? It might just be that the dev edition gets updates first, so customers can pay extra to have a phone that updates a week or two before their WWE/Carrier counterparts.
I'm pretty sure the bootloader comes locked on the dev edition, just like all the other phones, and you have to unlock it at htcdev.com. I might be wrong though.
Are you facing some sort of technical issue, or just curious?

I'm just curious. I have heard that Developer Edition devices with CID BS_US002 ship with an unlocked bootloader. So, there is almost no difference, just HTC trying to sell it?
x.xx.401.x is the European ROM build, not World Wide English (WWE) as it used to be (which also used to be x.xx.405.x when it was WWE but that's going back a few years)
The US Developer Edition is their version of the EU SIM-free handset but has a different software build, CID and MID and has different radio frequencies so not all 4G bands are covered for EU use. It also only covers a few languages as opposed to the EU languages covered in the EU SIM-free version

Ok.. So .401 is the EU unlocked version, . 1540 is US unlocked with CID BS_US002 also having the bootloader unlocked (BS_US001 only has SIM unlock). Am I correct?

Yes, the US DE comes with the bootloader pre-unlocked. The EU model is supplied locked but can be unlocked via HTC Dev
If anyone could give me some advice I'd be grateful. I bought my HTC 10 second hand from someone here in the US. When I took possession of the phone the firmware it was running was 1.80.401.1
I am using the phone on AT&T network here in the US but I keep seeing stuff through out the internet that shows us unlocked should be running 1.80.617.1
Is there any difference between them? Does it matter which I run? Would running the 1.80.401.1 version explain why I do not show AT&T volte settings?
Can someone/anyone using the HTC 10 on AT&T primarily let me know which firmware I should be using.. Thanks for any help guys

Another forum member told me to ignore those numbers, they vary across carriers. For instance, mine still says 1.19.605.22... but it is the latest from Verizon.
As far as service goes it's fine, data signal, calls, text, LTE, the whole nine yards. But the only thing I can't find in settings is how to turn on volte...
All the reading I have done on the net and I still don't know a clear answer on if AT&T users using the HTC 10 have access to volte and if they do which firmware is everyone using or how did they enable the feature or does HTC still need to unlock it via ota. When I asked Mo versi about volte on unlocked 10 on AT&T network right after HTC 10 was shown he said it would be a working feature for AT&T and tmobile users in so many words

Your phone is running Europe firmware. The. 401 is EU region.Whats your CID?
It will most likely explain why you don't have volte. Your phone will be a European handset. I think some differences will be in the lte bands that US use. You might not have LTE all the time. You can change your CID and MID and run a RUU but you will need to SOFF
The more I read the more I believe I'm using the wrong firmware too..
So tonight after work I guess I will be unlocking bootloader, flash recovery, root, sunshine soff, change cid, then run ruu

Did you flash unlocked US RUU? I dont really have an idea im not from US. Maybe ask in the US RUU and Rom zip thread.
Yeah, I'm starting to think HTC used Verizon data symbol for the US unlocked versions, seen a video with unlocked us version (not Verizon) and it had Verizon data symbol as well.
