When I first got my HTC LTE was working fine then it suddenly stopped. I called T-Mobile who was clueless, so I popped the sim back into my S7 Edge and Nexus 6P age LTE worked perfectly. I decided to try unlocking s-off etc to flash a more current firmware since mine was on a really old one. I flagged 1.30xx stock then LeeDroid rom being sure to not decrypt data during the process. LTE still won't won't, I'm only getting HSPA+ which sucks. I have another sim card I could activate, but I want to know if there's another way to fix this? My APN seems fine, as does the preferred radio mode. Any suggestions/additional troubleshooting that I can do before sending the phone back
Update:
Here are some videos I made showing the issue:
Part 1
Part 2
I will add another one using the stock ROM to further prove the issue exists on both the unlocked firmware, and T-Mobile one.
You root your phone, mess it up and then send it back? Kinda messed up.
Did you try flashing the latest modem?

He said this happened before, and he tried rooted and flashing a ROM to see if it made a difference.

No, I stated the issue was there before then. I only unlocked it and flashed updated firmware in an attempt to fix the issue which it didn't. Clearly we all need to read thoroughly before responding to an OP so we don't look arrogant in the end.
Now, on another note I mentioned this issue was already present from the moment I started using the phone 100% stock. It will sometimes still get LTE, but it only sticks for 10-30 seconds then drops to H/H+ immediately. My S7 Edge and Nexus 6P do not have this issue whatsoever therefore I'm certain something with the firmware is not right.

Thank you, for reading the OP , and no I don't have just the modem files, although I do have the RUU so I know it's in there

No, I can't get it to flash, but I'm going to try another method for updating it to that version
Mine has been extremely inconsistent in sticking to LTE. Sometimes I have to force it to LTE only and then when I switch back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, it ****s the bed for a few minutes before correcting itself.

Did you try downloading the ruu.exe on the computer and then running it as administrator also make sure you have either changed your cid to the US unlocked one or to supercid I used the exe version of the ruu it went fine on my end I hope you get your situation worked out
I don't know your phone model, but since you are in the US. I would suggest you run US unlocked RUU for eliminating any software issues.
If you have an unlocked device, then you can simply download from @Behold's thread about us unlocked RUU.
If you have a T-mobile device, I would suggest you to get s-off and then run RUU.
Send back your modified phone is likely the least preferred option to do/recommend.

Yep, following the instructions to the t (so to speak), it ran fine, booted into whatever that weird screen is with the % on it then after about 15 seconds gave me the error
I just gave the extSD method again, now it is saying

I did not boot into download mode. Left it on the home screen, Just made sure USB debugging was on. The RUU handled everything after that.
Quick update:
I changed my CID to 111111 and it flashed via the RUU .exe file (surprisingly). I still cannot get LTE other than a ran moment where it might connect for a second before dropping back to H+. I even made a new APN (copied from my S7 Edge) and it still won't get LTE. Could this be some bizarre sim issue despite it working on every other phone I own (4 other phones work fine with LTE and my sim)?

Have them re register the device on the network? The US unlocked base should work fine on TMOUS, I know as I have used it and both LTE, VoLTE, and WiFi calling fully work.

Looks like a sim issue. Try re seating the sim and if that does not work have TMO give you another sim from the store.

I have another sim, and I've reinserted it s few times now without success. I might call them and activate the other sim. It's just odd how it works flawlessly with LTE on every phone but this one.

Hey everyone,
new here and to rooting/flashing in general.
I've somewhat successfully converted my verizon M8 to work on Tmobile by using weaksauce 2.0 to root, then Sunshine to gain S-off. Flashed TRWP custom recovery with flashify, backed up my stock vzw setup (4.4.4), then flashed ViperoneM8 with tmobile extras to the phone. The phone works great 90% of the time on Tmo, with 4gLTE, mms, sms, wifi all working. But I will get random dropped general mobile service (no data, can't make calls, text won't go through). This is easily fixed with airplane mode toggle.
Sooo, I wanted to see how other roms work on my phone with Tmobile service, specifically ARHD 34.0 and/or change phone to developer edition and upgrade to Lollipop. But both roms require prerequisite upgrading of firmware. My phone won't let me change the firmware via ADB or RUU. I've tried changing to superCID and going back to relocked mode, but still won't work. I get error 155 when attempting to upgrade via RUU and cannot find firmware.zip when using adv/fastboot.
I came across an old thread about other rooted models that suggest upgrading the HBOOT. Can anyone verify this suggestion and guide me toward which specific HBOOT software to change to?
Thanks for the help,
-Ant

If your stock was 4.4.4, your firmware and hboot should be fine to run ARHD. I don't think that WWE firmware (x.xx.401.x) is compatible with T-Mo (x.xx.531.x). The firmware you have now (3.32.531.2?) will be fine.

You shouldn't have wifi issues. ViperOne is building a Lollipop version right now, and 4.4.4 firmware works fine with it.
The ARHD thread does recommend a full wipe with the non-matching firmware/ROM base though.

Oh man, what did you do? In your bootloader under OS is your firmware number. Is it still your old firmware? I don't know how you re-locked.
If you are in fastboot, type fastboot reboot-recovery and see if that works.

I was relocked previously trying to update firmware. I completely forgot to unlock it before the ROM flash. I would assume the ROM wouldnt flash though if the phone was relocked. I'm still S-off. Fastboot isn't recognizing the files i want to flash. Won't flash the unlock code. Wouldn't flash a zip file before when trying to update firmware. Can I somehow fix why fastboot isn't flashing files, then try to use unlock code?
possible progress?? I wasn't in the correct file to fastboot flash files. I moved the unlock code download to the correct file as flashboot, then flashed it. It says "unlock token check successfully." but now it seems the phone is stuck in white htc screen. Is it ok to power down the phone when in this screen? maybe loading the software from new ROM?
so I went ahead and powered down the phone. Still S-off. Now has UNLOCKED banner, but behaving the same. Stuck in bootloader loop. Won't allow me to get into recovery

Okay. Being S-Off you don't need to lock your bootloader to flash firmware. But since you were trying to flash Developer Edition firmware, you would have to flash a stock Dev Ed backup first, and change your MID and CID.
Leave your phone plugged into your PC.
Go here and follow the option 2 instructions. You want the APP/EXE version to download. It should fix you up.
where do you people come from..you're a self proclaimed noob who has executed an unsupported carrier switch, which ends up with a half functional device as a result.. and then you decide to crank the up the hilarity to warp drive stupid by flashing ANOTHHER unsupported ROM combination on top.
the random signal dropping is most certainly a result of this conversion as I have a couple of related support tickets saying the same.
you should be thankful that unholy is so patient and willing to help.. and that we know he has nothing better to do

I tried installing custom ROM's, but so far ARHD 22 didn't even boot and LiquidSmooth couldn't detect the SIM card at all.
I know there are quite a few tutorials and "how-to" threads explaining all you need to know about RUU, cusotm ROM's, etc. However if someone could tell me what exactly to do and in which order (return to stock, then update?) I would greatly appreciate it.

Easiest way to get it back to stock is just flash the Sprint H/K RUU. You can download it from HERE. Just run it and connect your phone when prompted and follow the instructions (I'd probably change your CID back to the Sprint one first to be on the safe side but as you're S-OFF it shouldn't be needed). You might also need HTC Sync Manager installed. If so, you can get it HERE
This process will wipe the phone completely so back up any data first but other than that you'll at least be back to stock and then troubleshoot any issues from there
Thanks
Many thanks to everyone.
Any chances of loosing the SIM UNLOCK when going back to stock completely?
Nope, that shouldn't be touched but as I've not had a SIM-locked device in years I can't say for certain

You can or you can go to the Sprint android development and flash the updated recovery since you are s-off and it'll permit you to flash lollipop roms without many issues but there is still the files that need to be modified for ARHD to work correctly like the boot.img and a few others.

Power+vol up for about 15 seconds then power+vol down to get into recovery. You cant flash it unless you swap out Sprint specific files otherwise you'll get what just happened or boot directly into boot loader.
Like I mentioned I can pull the files together and see if I can get it working for Sprint tonight when I get home but until then flash either fluent Rom or stock if you want lollipop or just flash bad boyz if you don't mind kitkat

I will go with installation of
Sprint_HTC_One_M8_non-HK_4.20.651.2_RUU
Sounds good?

Many thanks!
For me, the biggest issue is the mobile data breakdowns... I know I read somewhere a while ago it was an issue with some Sprint M8 models. I would like to get everything working w/o problems since it is GSM unlocked, and via QPST I unlocked all the bands.

Also, I just found some official EU RUU's with different radio's as far as I can tell from the filename.
Maybe that could be the final solution to all the problems?
Good day, I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate thread
My M8 randomly stopped detecting my SIM card after I installed my dbrand skin (which is weird because it's just a skin on the phone, it's not going to hamper the performance, right?)
I have a dev ed M8 S-On, BL unlocked with TWRP and I'd like to try flashing the stock RUU or firmware for it.
I am not sure where to find those, or how to go about flashing it.
Can anybody help me sort this out? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Please delete if possible, I found my answer elsewhere.

Can't see how such a skin would have that effect. Maybe the SIM tray got jarred loose a bit during the application process?
Did you try taking the SIM tray and SIM out, then putting it back in?

You can find the DE RUUs linked in my thread under "RUUs": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
With s-on, you need to relock the bootloader with the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
From there, just run the RUU with the phone in fastboot mode while connected to PC. The RUU is fully automated and self-explanatory.
Also, you can only run the RUU for same or greater hboot/version number than what is on the device (no "downgrading").

Okay so I did exactly what you said to do
Relock bootloader> run the RUU and accept everything once read> let it do it's thing
My main problem before was finding which RUU to run, and if I needed to relock my bootloader because of it's DE status
How about the SIM card? Did you get it working and/or figure out what was wrong?

Yeah, as suspected something went wrong with the firmware and flashing the stock RUU fixed it. I'm not exactly sure why it suddenly stopped recognizing my sim card, but it's fixed now so I'm happy.

Okay so the phone fell today and the simcard stopped recognizing again, but I tried another carrier's sim card and it picks up without a problem. I tried flashing the RUU again (twice actually) and no luck. I do see the network that I want when I manually search for it, but I can't select it on the sim card from the other carrier for obvious reasons.
I have no idea what's going on with it.
I'm guessing my sim card isn't fitting well.
Gonna try to get it replaced in the next few days.

That's probably your best bet, at least as a start. Many carriers will also replace your SIM for free, so its easy to at least start troubleshooting from there.

Yeah, hopefully I won't have to pay anything. Though in my country, they even charge for sim cutting >.>
Though I haven't got a clue as to why it's not reading on my M8 because it's reading fine on my much older Sony Ericsson C902

There is also a trick that sometimes helps, where you put a piece of Scotch tape on the SIM (on the side without the gold contacts) and the extra thickness may help "push" the SIM into proper position (make proper contact). But be careful you don't jam up your SIM slot with the tape, or you can be in a real jam.
I haven't seen any folks have this issue on the M8, but I saw it fairly occasionally on some past HTC devices (One X was my last HTC phone). For that phone, the "SIM tape trick" worked in more than a couple instances.

Actually what I want to do now is try to flash the radio files for the DE and hopefully that will work
But I'm worried about firmware compatibility or rather version compatibility because I know that updates can change certain things and I'm running Insert Coin right now
Though I believe that I should be fine because I am S-ON and flashing the RUU will help me if I ever come to a soft-brick
Please tell me if I'm right before I continue

You can't flash another version's radio with s-on.
EDIT: Realized that you have the DE. But still, if s-on, a radio or firmware will only flash if the file is still HTC encrypted/signed.
Also, wrong radio wouldn't give you a SIM error. You would have at least GSM voice and EDGE data, even with the wrong radio. You just would not be able to connect 3G or LTE.

I ended up trying it just before I saw this reply, and sadly it didn't work at all.
I'm getting "No Sim Card" when I try my main carrier's sim, but my other carrier's sim is picking up without a problem.
So I'm definitely getting it replaced today. The recommended DE Radio update didn't seem to change anything, and my rom still works fine.
Thanks for the advice and help. I'll let you know if a new sim card worked in this case.

So the Sim replacement worked, and I've now got my favourite carrier running again with my same old easy to remember number

They just go bad sometimes, its not unheard of.
I just bought a factory unlocked htc one m9 and plugged the sim card in.
After cache partition wipes, two hour-long customer support calls, a factory reset, and a bottle of Tylenol, nothing happened.
(Okay, I'm joking about the Tylenol.)
The big issues are that the only mobile network operator detected in settings is AT&T, and that I can not change any APN settings (though they are T-mobile anyway, so that shouldn't matter.)
The T-mobile rep and I both checked, and the phone IS compatible with the t-mobile data bands in my area, so there is no physical reason that it shouldn't work.
Any help with this would be massively appreciated!

I had a similar problem with my phone (developer edition) when I first put in the sim card. A phone restart with the sim in it solved it right off.

Now that you've restarted, try going into the network settings and manually choosing T-Mobile.
(Settings, Mobile Data, Network operators, search for networks)
It doesn't find anything other than AT&T.
I'm guessing that choosing the automatic option dues any good.
My next move would be to redo the setup process.... probably by resetting the phone. I'm off to Google the issue and see if anything comes up.
[EDIT] Before you do that, double check that your network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. Anything else will (artificially) limit you to 2G or 3G [/EDIT]
[EDIT #2] T-Mobile has the APN information for manual input. It may be worth trying to create a new APN profile to see if that makes a difference [/EDIT]
I tried both of those. Now I'm having issues even just connecting it to my computer over USB. (HTC site says there's a software update that I think might help, but the phone isnt detecting it)

Ah. Probably worth applying the latest RUU. The executable is here - best to install it with your phone connected to your computer in download mode. Alternatively, you can use the SD card method, though you'll have to search around for the Android 7 Rui zip file.

I think I'm going to have to use the SD card method - the m9 keeps disconnecting randomly over usb and if that happens during the install.... I'd really like to not brick the phone.
I've been looking around all over google and can't seem to find a .zip for the update, I found one in a thread on here (still can't link things yet, under ten posts) but the download site said file not found.
In addition, do I need to use S-Off before trying the update? In some of the forums that was mentioned but I think it was for a different version of the phone. HTC has the update files and doesn't say anything about it, but it also doesn't say anything about updating over SD card.

Head on over to the General forum and check out the thread by Flippy498 about stock ROMs. It should be a few posts in, but the zip file is linked!
For anyone else having this type of issue - even though they're all unlocked, some versions of the htc one m9 (potentially other phones by HTC as well) are produced in different regions. The Taiwanese version does not have band 12, and others potentially lack other bands.

Oh dear. I assumed that you were referring to the unlocked version sold directly from HTC, as opposed to a branded M9 (produced for a specific carrier & region) that had subsequently sim-unlocked.

Nope! I'm trying to unlock the lte bands before using S-off (just because it doesn't seem like anyone's tried it yet.) I'll post results as soon as I finish trying, but it's slow-going.
OK, I install the RR Nougat 7.1.1 android version on my htc one m8. I have been using it for a while now without issues,
but just yesterday, my phone had low battery and it turn off.
After restarting the phone, could not connect it to my home country network.
I can't access the carrier settings menu as the 'com.android.phone has stopped' pops up.
I have most tuts on the forum but not much help. Even factory reset does not work.
After factory reset, Sprint apns settings are on the apn setup menu but after i delete them, still can't connect to my home country network carrier.
Please some help here guys.

Does this mean you have your local network's APN info entered, or no?
Do you have voice service at least?

Then this has nothing to do with APN, since voice service does not rely on APN (APN only applies to data cell service).
A few folks have had this issue of "no SIM" and no service after letting the battery die on the Sprint version M8. But I'm not sure what the solutions is. You may search around, as I know the issue has been posted a couple times recently. I suggested the Sprint RUU for one user. But it inexplicably caused the device to brick.

If s-off, try a lower level (such as kitkat 4.4.2 or 4.4.3) Sprint RUU and see if that helps.
You can only try this with s-off. If s-on, you can't "downgrade" (run older RUU then version presently on the phone) by RUU as it will fail the version check.
Also, don't flash any other carrier version RUU (only Sprint) as doing so with s-off may lead to permanent damage on a Sprint device due to incompatibility (even on a properly working Sprint M8).

The main issue, is that you bought the wrong version for your location. It's my strong opinion, that the Sprint version should never be bought by anyone except those using the US Sprint network. It's intended primarily for the Sprint CDMA network.

Yeah, your probably right, but I learnt that by flashing a new radio (radio frequency in HTC phones directly installs the network carrrier base band) can solve it but can't get the right radio image. Though am not a 100% sure but have tried some radio images but still no result.

If you are talking about radio images from other (non-Sprint) versions of the M8; radio from any other version is not compatible, meaning it won't work with the Sprint version, and can possibly lead to a permanent radio brick. This is for the same reason as I previously cautioned you not to run RUUs for another version M8.
If you are talking about flashing different radios specifically intended for the Sprint M8, that isn't any different from trying the various Sprint M8 RUUs (which install different radio image along with every other partition).
