I bought the Telstra version and wiped it with the Generic HTC ROM. Works a treat.

Where did you guys buy your Telsta models from?
Thanks

I wonder why they Aussie models are so much more expensive.

Do you have problems with GPS? I was told by the folks at onthegosolutions that the HTC non-Telstra version had GPS problems. I assume they have upgraded thier Telstra models to the latest Telstra ROM with some sort of GPS fix

[Q] m8 verizon convert to HTC Europe

Hello!
i have an Verizon s-off M8, My question is if is possible to convert (change CID/MID) in to a HTC Europe (with a last firmware). I use it only in gsm band. it is possible?!

Nope, as it's a CDMA device not GSM

Sorry to ask this like a month later, but I had a similar question as the OP. Why wouldn't it be possible if I only wanted to use my phone in Europe on the GSM bands? I've been using it with a ROM for the international phones and it works fine. But I was also wondering if I could flash the newest firmware and 4.4.3 upgrade to use some of the newer ROMs for the international versions, like ARHD 10.2.

HI! Can you give me more details? I've just received the verizon variant (bought from an online store) in Europe.. I would like to "convert" it to international version so I could get official updates from HTC via OTA. IS that possible?

I don't think you can convert it over to the international edition, although I could be wrong, since some of the partitions, firmware, and actual hardware (like the CDMA receiver) are different. Given how buggy just some of the ROMs are with the int'l kernel built in, I would be worried about bricking the phone trying to actually convert it to be able to receive OTAs.
What you can do check out some of the ROMs that let you pick which variant to install. After you boot that up once, you'll probably need to reflash the stock VZW kernel (or read around and see if Verizon users got other kernels to work with the ROM). It's kind of trial and error. A lot of times I ended up without wifi or service until I found a kernel that worked.
For updates, (this part sucks) you'll have to wait for the Verizon phones to receive them in the US. Someone usually makes a set a files you can flash since we can't get the OTAs for VZW here and a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle of going back to close to stock to get them. Make a backup, flash those, and go on your way!
But, you'll have to follow the updates and such for VZW phones and then just use a ROM to make it like an int'l versions.
I've been running the int'l version of Paranoid Android and before that ARHD and it's been fine. I used venom and I think n8 before that but it would only install the VZW version so I had to use ROM Cleaner and take out a lot of crap. The roaming triangles were annoying enough that I gave up on venom even though I like the ROM.

THanks for the reply. I think I will return it back.. I wanted a stock experience (eg: when HTC launch an update I DONT Need to wait for verizon to release an update).
I paid lots of money (~700$) for a contract free phone and got a branded phone (not sim-locked by branded is enough) . What a sh*t situation.

Oh God, I assumed you got a Verizon one because it was cheap. I picked mine up in the US for $150 so I don't care so much about having to wait since I saved so much money. If you paid full price I would definitely return it and get an int'l one instead!

Nope, the problem is that I wanted the 32 GB version and most of the online shops had only the 16 GB one. Maybe there is no international 32gb htc one m8..
PS: the retailer's product page (cel.ro) doesn't say anything regarding branding, even the photos are of a htc one m8 unbranded phone.

I am a bit late here. Can i flash a European custom rom on verizon M8? I want to completely get rid of verizon bloatware/services . If yes then while installing custom rom in aroma can i select WWE instead of verizon?? Summary of my question is can i use a WWE European custom rom on version M8??

You should only use custom ROMs that specifically support the Verizon variant. If the option is given in AROMA for carrier version (and VZN is one of those), its got nothing to do with what carrier/region you are located in, but refers to the version M8 you have, which is still Verizon. But you should check the specific ROM thread for details, comments by VZN version users, etc. as devs don't always setup AROMA the same way.
This thread is really old (almost 2 years) and we know a lot more now. FYI, I know its not what you specifically asked, but the topic of the thread is converting to Euro version by flashing firmware, RUU etc. And quite simply and frankly, do not attempt to flash Euro firmware, RUU, or change the CID/MID to do so. Flashing Euro firmware on the VZN variant will result in a radio brick, and the damage may be permanent!

Can HTC 10 USA be converted to int ?

Will that work, because USA version is a bit cheaper than int ?!

You can if you S-OFF ($25) but there is really no reason to. US will work just fine and also receive updates faster.

What is int?

International, as in wwe..... also known as world wide English

Does it also work the other way around? The reason is, I have a International HTC 10 from Germany. I cannot really use it in the USA. People calling me get directly to my mailbox. I have to try several times to call them and the internet does not always work although I have a good 4G connection.
Do you think flashing a US or T-Mobile firmware would help?

You can covert between the different firmware versions if you are S-OFF

I did WWE to US unlocked, no problems.
Not sure if that would help your problems .... Although the US firmware has different radio, so maybe.

Ok, thanks! I currently have a stock HTC 10. So I am not sure about S-OFF. I will read a bit how to flash thre HTC 10 and try the US firmware. I will give feedback here, if it´s a solution to my problem. Maybe it will help others, too

HTC One M9 volte

Hello devs is there going to be a rom that will work on volte? I'm running an HTC One M9 AT&T with dev edition ruu right at this moment but I have flashed everything from venom to insert coin to lineage, aicp, more, beanstalk...... None will work on VoLTE I have to either run 3g all the time or turn 4g off while I'm not using data it's very annoying cause I forget. I have been looking for a solution Nada. Please help if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

The dev edition firmware doesn't support VoLTE. You need to use a branded firmware which has VoLTE enabled. It doesn't matter which rom you use as long as your firmware doesn't support this feature.

Well the one I have is working its a dev edition but when I flash a custom ROM I have to turn off 4g to receive phone calls

As said before, the problem (normally) isn't which rom you flash. It's which firmware you use. If you convert your phone e.g. to the AT&T branded version and flash e.g. ViperOne, ICE or Leedroid, afterwards, you can use VoLTE.
The dev edition (just like the unbranded European and the unbranded Asian version) doesn't have VoLTE enabled by default. The stock rom of said firmware versions switches to 3G automatically as soon as you receive a phone call. I'm not sure why that feature doesn't work on your phone as soon as you flash a custom rom. From my own experiences, it's working fine on e.g. ViperOne.

I can confirm flippy, the wwe is capable of volte as I get it on O2. It would seem here in the UK you need a branded firmware to get onto volte BUT if you debrand the phone to wwe it can volte on any network.
For example ee say that only ee branded phones can use their volte, which is true because all other branded phones can only use 'their' networks volte as it is preprogrammed and cannot be changed by normal means.
If you root, change cid and debrand with another firmware then you can use any volte as it depends on the sim card in the phone.
On HTC devices custom roms just piggy back of the firmware that is pre installed. The rom is just another form of user interface for the device so in theory the rom 'should' be volte compatible providing the firmware installed before it was capable and unbranded. Remember that only "branded" devices can use the network unless its unlocked wwe. So if you had an att firmware and you flash a custom rom onto it then it is no longer branded and shouldn't be allowed.. If its previously unbranded and you flash a rom then it should be allowed. Needs testing..
A long winded way of telling you bugger all but I hope it makes the carriers requirements a tad clearer..

Actually this is not true, or maybe your wwe it's actually not wwe.
I have s.rom custom rom, if I have 4.28.401.3 firmware volte isn't working(the function disappear from settings)
If I flash the Orange UK firmware(4.19.61.1) the VoLTE is working, and no I don't have Orange UK sim, I tested with Orange RO and Telekom RO.

Flashing a custom rom doesn't debrand the phone. The debranding process consists of
getting S-OFF
changing the CID to one that belongs to either SKU 617 (dev edition), 401 (unbranded European), 708 (unbranded Asian), 709 (another unbranded Asian) or 710 (unbranded Australian)
flashing either a RUU or one of Sneakyghost's firmware packs that belong to the CID you chose before
And you don't need to debrand for using other carriers with your phone. Only a sim unlock might be needed if the carrier branding contains a sim lock.
If you really use one of the unbranded firmwares then the M9 isn't capable of using VoLTE. That's why all the Jio customers from India convert their phones to either the AT&T or the T-Mobile US version.
Like @lucyr03 explained, it doesn't matter which carrier you use as long as the firmware of your phone is capable of VoLTE.

Mine has htc_001 from factory so it is wwe. It was never branded and I get volte on 02 or ee depending on which sim I use.
To unbrand your phone you must flash either wwe euro or wwe usa firmware. All other firmwares are branded.

I was referring to this part of your last post:

And there are more unbranded firmwares than the dev edition and the European unbranded one (which both aren't called wwe since that's an abbreviation for world wide English).

3UK version

Hello everyone! I live in Ukraine and bought my Razer Phone at a local store, but after the purchase I discovered that this is a Three version (a big "3" logo on boot). As far as I know, physically the device is 100% identical to the regular version sold on Amazon and RazerStore, if it is not - please correct me. As I understand, it isn't locked for a certain operator. Are there any differences in the 3UK firmware except the delays in updates and logo at startup? Is it possible to install a stock Razer Global firmware? If so, is it worth doing it?

Have a read around as there are a few posts regarding this topic.
3UK have been 1-2 weeks behind on getting MR1 and MR3 released compared to the offical Razer images. MR2 went live for non branded phones but had some bugs so 3UK skipped this update.
I belive razer fixed those bugs in MR3 and then 3UK took this stable build and tweaked it for their network before sending it out to their customer a week or so later along with the MR3 patch notes and just inculded the working bit of that update in their MR3.
Images are found here but id get advice from others as this is my 1st Android phone and still running the 3UK branded phone as im on their network.

Do you think that there are some tweaks for their network? I'm asking because only one of my two SIM cards works with my phone, both of them are not 3UK.

all three UK's phones are supplied unlocked anyway only change from stock I believe is 4g supervise and the logo

In the guides section there is a guide for "debranding a 3 UK handset". It involves flashing global mr1 software and taking the OTA to MR3. People in that forum swear by it. Start there.
