There have been sites that claim they have the firmware but say you'll need a premium account. If anyone has access to this firmware, it would be highly appreciated. Im using HK HTC M9 with unlocked bootloader and S-ON but when I flashed ARHD, I get No SIM signal. I'm trying to get back to stock or if anyone has any idea of a custom ROM that would give me SIM signal that would be great as well.
The latest ruu for your M9 is marshmallow: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298946916
You can't flash this ruu if you're on higher version with s-off.
Theoretically all himaul nougat roms should have signal on this firmware.
Thats what makes it weird! My stock ROM was Nougat but there are only Marshmallow firmwares online

What is your current CID and MID given in fastboot?
It would be a good idea to share all the info, except imei, from fastboot.
It might be the CID and MID has been changed hence you got nougat.
Did you got it from ebay or something like so?
Guys, there's nothing special about this situation. All M9 variants got updated to android N/firmware 4.x.
You need to keep in mind that RUUs don't get distributed officially (well, except for the US ones). They get leaked by insiders and no one knows if or when a RUU for a non-US firmware gets leaked.
@lucyr03:
That isn't the latest RUU. It's only the latest one that is freely available. Most contributers just moved on to newer devices and therefore, no one has bought newer RUUs, yet. You can find a 4.27.708.3 RUU* e.g. on easy-firmware. Someone would need to buy and to reupload it to AFH, though.
* The needed file is called
0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_N70_SENSE80_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_4.27.708.3_R3_Radio_01.01_U114401031_124.01.70203G_F_release_507839_signed_2_4.zip

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!
Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have an asian unlocked M8 and I live in Mexico so I cant use LTE. To solve this I got S-off, supercid, wwe mid and wwe firmware with Android Revolution Rom and still cant use LTE (Europe LTE bands do not include band 4 aws, so its the same crap). I tried to flash att and t-moble radio but mi phone did not recognise the radio file (Unknown baseband) so I get no signal. Then I flashed the wwe radio and got the same no recognition problem. The only way to get back signal is to flash again the firmware (it does not work to switch the att radio image in wwe firmware)
I need att or t-mobile bands to use mexican carriers Telcel or Movistar LTE (band 4 aws) and I guess I should use att or t-mobile firmware with the matching based rom.
- Can someone recomend me a rom version and firmware version to download??
- Is the unknown baseband problem because of the wwe mid? Should I also change the wwe to att or t-mobile mid and cid??
Thanks for your time and help!!

What if you current firmware version, is it Euro 4.16.401?
Where did you get the AT&T radio(s) and what is the file name?
Are you sure you are using the baseband for the right Android version (4.4.4 or 5.0, etc.)? If you are using the wrong radio for the Android version, that is the only reason I can see for any problems. As long as you are using the right version (Lollipop radio with a Lollipop ROM, etc), the radios should be interchangeable (with exception of Verizon, Sprint, M8x, dual SIM - don't mess with those).
But I would still advise to flash the whole firmware (not just the radio) to assure that everything plays well together.

I would suggest the Lollipop AT&T firmware (4.28.502) or Dev Edition (4.16.1540 - same band support as AT&T version) which you can get here (attached with the full ROM, unfortunately): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
After that, you should be able to use just about any Lollipop ROM for the M8.

Yes, my current firmware is 4.16.401.10
I got the radio images from here, but I certanly mixed basebands with android versions.
I will go with your suggestion of flash a whole firmware.

Can I flash this firmware with another rom, say INSERT COIN? I read in the ROM instructions to use 4.16.401.10
Can I use the ROM attached to the firmware you suggested with my local carrier?
Thank you again for your help.

As I said, the firmware can be used with most any Lollipop M8 custom ROM.
The instructions say you need 4.16.401 firmware, but that's just a "lazy" requirement. Any Sense LP firmware should work with the current InsertCoin. To be fair, many of the "international" devs are Euro based, so they have little or no experience with other region's firmwares; and don't want to be held responsible for issues that arise for using them.
You should use or select the firmware based on region and carrier band support (in addition to Android version); not by ROM.
chortiman said:

You can. I'm personally not crazy about AT&T specific "features" (as the ROM is meant to include). Even having AT&T as a carrier, I tend toward the non-ATT based ROMs.
You may need to manually enter your carrier's APN info to get data connection.
Perfect.
I am currently in my work but at night I will follow your suggestions and come back tomorrow -or as soon as posible- to inform if this worked and may be useful to someone else.
Best regards!!

Hi,
I flashed succesfully the att latest firmware, but it is the same, no LTE signal.
I recently found this posts to UNLOCK QUALCOMM BANDS and I tried to follow the steps to do so, but they are very unclear and I got stuck in step 3.
I wanted to come back to this post to share a solution, but i cant find it. If you can complete the guide, please share your results.
Best regards.

Check your APN, sometimes carriers use a different one to support LTE.
Otherwise, if you tried only one firmware (such as AT&T) then try another: T-Mob or Dev Ed all supposedly support AWS.
Hi!
I just S-offed my T-mobile M8 today. Just have a question regarding LTE bands. I'm from the Philippines. I've noticed that my M8 variant is not compatible with the LTE bands supported by the carriers here in my country. I've done my research and saw that the T-Mobile M8 variant uses LTE bands 4 (1700/2100) and 17 (700). My carrier here operates at LTE Band 1 (2100) which is why I can only reach HSPA signal here. So is it possible for me to flash an asian firmware w/ radio update on my device so that I can access LTE connectivity here? If not, is there any other way to do so?
Thank you.

Yes.
Be sure to pick a firmware that supports not just your carrier's LTE band(s) but HSPA also, for full compatibility.
Also be sure to stick to the proper software version. You're most likely on Lollipop software, so only flash a Lollipop version firmware.
Depending on whether the firmware has been hacked, you may need to change your CID and MID to match the firmware.

I see. Thank you. Would you happen to know a thread or repository where I can download the latest Asian firmware? I've searched the forums but found outdated ones.
I've already superCID my M8 and just flashed the GPE firmware that came with the stock Marshmallow ROM. So does this mean, if I want to flash official firmware, I will need to change both my CID and MID to match that of the firmware?

If you give a CID or CIDs for the Asian version (or bettter yet, the correct software number), I may be able to find the firmware.

If its official, YES it will check CID and MID.
Some firmwares may be hacked to remove these checks, or include a longer list of "acceptable" MIDs and CIDs. I believe the GPE firmware your refer to is hacked in one of those ways.
But official firmwares will always check CID and MID.

I need help in getting other radio baseband for my m8 as I am unable to connect/use to a LTE/3g connection in my country. I have read that changing my baseband might help to solve this problem. Therefore, can anybody upload the baseband imgs or atleast point me in the right direction. I would greatly appreciate any help that you guys can give me. Below are some of my phone details
Current Baseband version: 1.09.20.0926
Rom: SLIM ROM 6.0.1 alpha 10

Boot loader is unlocked
Please help
Yours is a Verizon device, have you check thru Verizon M8 forum ?
You should find your answer in correct forum .. what I can see that you have radio meant for KitKat 3.x but you're running Marshmallow ROM .. seems you skipped two versions.
The thread that you linked above has nothing for Verizon, only GSM
Good luck

in addition, it seems that you are saying i need to flash a stock lollipop or marshmallow first in order for me to update my baseband version, only then I can start using the custom roms. Correct me if I'm wrong though...
I don't say that. I said you need to update your firmware to the latest.
Your device is S-Off, you don't need to install stock then update, won't work when you're not on Verizon network.
Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972
I believe you only need the "Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1"
I'm not very familiar with Verizon, you can ask there, the basic idea is to have Marshmallow firmware, means latest radio.
Nothing much I can help here ... sorry

Hi everyone,
I am currently running an HTC 10 w/ Oreo (LeeDrOiD 10 V5.2.3 / CleanSlate 3.18.63) on T-Mobile. I got the phone new on ebay and it was a T-Mobile Demo Unit. Process to get the phone on oreo and leeDroid first was to change phone cid BS_US001 and mid to 2PS650000 and afterwards installed the the oreo firmware. I installed (2PS6IMG_PERFUME_WL_O80[email protected]60322_CNV_0.77_002_release_520336_combined_signed_2)
I have been having issues with my hotspot NOT staying on so I wanted to reflash the original firmware to see if that could be the issue and then reflash LeeDroid and the CleanSlate kernel.
I recently came across an xda thread that had all the Oreo firmwares ([8.0] HTC 10 OREO FIRMWARE) and I am bit confused as to the differences and what I should install. Being on T-mobile of interest is
T-Mobile/DE: <-- Developer Edition
T-Mobile/PL: <-- ???
US Unlocked: <-- Assume this is what my original firmware upgrade was based on even though I do see VZW (which I think means verizon)
Can anyone explain the differences between the 3 above and what I should pick? @Mr Hofs figure I would tag you since you know a ton about this phone
The differences between the firmwares aren't that significant, the main changes are that they have more carrier specific files embedded in them.
You have the hotspot issue on US unlocked, i have the same with WWE general firmware. I really don't think it's related to firmwares though. But try as you wish but you also need to change cids and mids.

I think you are better off trying wwe firmware or US unlocked with its pure stock rom. Way easier than going for carrier firmwares, they won't do you any good.
