hi there
i have an htc M8 Sprint Device (831C) and i want to change it to a normal stock M8.
I'm in Turkey, I've bought the phone from outside of the country and i can't use some features like wifi hotspot because of the devise is unlocked version. in other words, i want to get rid of Sprint M8 rom.
Is there any way to do this? ıf its possible, how?

Your best bet is probably to unlock the bootloader, and load a custom ROM (that specifically supports the Sprint variant), rather than a "stock" M8 ROM.
Reason being, the Sprint version is a CDMA (includes both GSM and CDMA radios) and actually different hardware from the other "GSM" phones (that you are calling "stock"). Trying to "convert" your Sprint version (installing "international" firmware, radios, etc.) is a very bad idea, as it probably won't work, and might even brick the phone.
Quite frankly, you probably bought the wrong variant for your country/region. Just about any version except Sprint/Verizon would have been better, and could be converted to be the "international" version.
oh got it. i think the custom rom is my only chance. thank you for your interest...
I want to covert my phone AT&T G960U to global rom? Help me
I actually don't believe you really can to be honest. The 960U is the US unlocked variant. So even if you wanted the vanilla feel you wouldn't get it. From my experience, each carrier has been using the same variant of the S9 so they would just rebrand it with a OTA update.
Personally I've switched from Cricket (Original Purchase) to Boost (Boost ROM loaded) to Straight Talk (Verizon) with no issues except one. Which has to do with Sprints activation crap. The latest carrier switch has a default boot screen from Samsung.
You may be able to flash a rom using odin that isn't carrier branded. Like I said though, I'm pretty sure if its activated an OTA update fixes you up either way.
I get my firmwares from Sam Mobile.

well, thing is my device has a firmware from a carrier form mexico and i wanted to change it to get rid of those MANY apps it comes with. however, i ended up with some questions, i want a version that can give me OTA updates as they come out (this carrier takes a lot of time to realease updates) so as far as i could find the lm-g710em10b was a good option, but my model is a lm-g710awm, so...
1._ can i flash the g710em10b kdz on my g710awm model without having to worry about something in specific?
2._ Is that kdz version a good one or do you recomend another one for me?
3._ as far i know i do not need to unlock my bootloader to change my firmware, am i wrong?
hope you can help me, and thanks in advance hehe
I am planning to take a AT&T locked SM-G986U to Cricket. My question is simple. How do I update the firmware?
My current LG G8 refuses to update and my understanding is I need an active AT&T simcard.
However, I found this: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-G986U1/ATT/download/G986U1UEU1DUB7/1491717/
I found out that SM-G986U1 firmware should work on SM-G986U.
Will that above firmware work on my incoming SM-G986U? Will it allow VoLTE? Has anyone tried this?
I need VoLTE on Cricket and I know the AT&T firmware allows for that. But the above firmware is for the U1 not the U(should be cross-compatible) and says it's the AT&T version.
Can anyone please confirm this? Thank you so much for any and all help, advice, or suggestions.
If anyone can or wants to try or test this I'd love to know the results.
yes it will work and you get updates from samsung
So using that above would get me VoLTE? WiFi Calling would be nice but I need VoLTE. Just still a bit confused, thanks for your answer and help.
i get both but i have a att phone on att and running the u1 firmware
Ok, yeah mine is an AT&T model and I'm not sure it'll arrive up to date. We'll have to wait and see. thanks!
