I plan on ordering the HTC m8 from HTC in America and then using it here on the Telus network. I checked the bands and LTE should be fine but is there anything else I should know before ordering it in the US?
[One (M8) General] chewable:
I would also consider how it affects your options if you were to switch carriers in the future. The HTC Developer edition doesn't support AWS (for WIND Mobile) nor LTE Band 7 (extended LTE coverage on Rogers and Bell). The Google Play Edition will cover all the bands needed in Canada, including those two.
[One (M8) General] djmatt604:
Yes exactly. If you do get a Sense phone (not Dev or GPE), make sure you get a GSM model...I think Sprint and Verizon are the CDMA models and some of the rom development is not as advanced due to complications with those handsets. Just do your research, get the CID/MID info in advance etc.
[One (M8) General] zms123:
Thanks for answering.

Forgot to mention I wanted to get the Developer version and I thought it did support AWS. I'm not concerned with switching carriers as I'm on Public mobile (Telus) and their $45 deal is way better than anything Rogers/Bell offers. The developer version supports 700 Mhz and 1700Mhz/AWS bands so the phone should work with Telus/Bell etc. If I understand what extended LTE coverage is then I don't think it's a concern as I don't go out to remote areas very often. Please correct me if anything I've said here is wrong.

I'll be confirming if the imei works before bringing it to Canada.
[One (M8) General] chewable:
I should clarify that its AWS support is for LTE. It doesn't support AWS over 3G frequencies which is what WIND Mobile uses.

LTE band 7 is used for Rogers' LTE Max which is capable of speeds up to 150 Mbps. Regular LTE tops out at 75Mbps. You can check out the coverage maps below to see if you'll benefit from this.

M8 Developer Edition in Canada

Hi XDA,

Think I may be in trouble, but am hopeful there's a workaround.

While in the US I purchased an HTC One M8 Developer Edition

While it worked great on AT&T, when I came back tonight I can only find Wind AWAY and the big 3 networks. I was under the impression the HTC One M8's were pentaband (except the Sprint / Verizon version) but I may have misunderstood.

Before I move on and have to sell the device, I was hoping there was a rom I could flash that would enable Wind compatibility, similar to how people were flashing Galaxy S3's to enable more networks. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Appreciate the help. This is pretty frustrating.

From reading this phone won't be able to take advantage of Rogers or Bell's extended LTE. Does that mean Telus LTE won't work properly either since they share a network with Bell?
[One (M8) General] 420SYN:
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the developer edition doesn't have the extra bands. If you would have got the regular edition you would have been fine.
[One (M8) General] 09Ram:
That's correct. Only the T-Mobile phone and all Canadian models have the AWS 3G band enabled. There is no known way to enable it on other models.

Hello: I played around with the m8 so much and didn't backup stock recovery which was Telus 4.4.2 build 1.55.661.4. Needed to return to original stock but no useable link was found. Did factory reset. Still rooted, bootloader unlocked.

Was only able to find Telus recovery build 1.12.661.17 and 2014-04-02--20-26-55 KOT49H release-keys. Loaded them and phone is working but consistently wants to update to build 1.55. Downloaded update zip file (Telus _WWE_1.55.661.4 -1.12.661.17) and tried to install and get "failed to stat "system/build.prop": No such file or directory on TWRP. So wiped cache and dalvik and tried install again and got same error. Rebooted and then I see "Android is upgrading." So it updates or so I think but build number stays the same at 1.12.661.17 and phone is again asking to update. I even renamed the file to update.zip it didn't work and then extracted recovery.img and tried that but still no luck.

I read,read and read and try to find the original build but no luck. All dead ends. So more reading and try Philz's recovery and get error "can't mount internal sd" .

Have Super CID but other parameters have been changed on the M8 and I don't know how to return to the original state. Not concerned with losing data, I just need to get back to where I was and leave this damn phone alone!

As you can tell I have minimal experience and any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update: Installed Bell.cidnum.BM____001.TWRP.stock.backup.1.55.666.4 so that part worked. Still can't 2.23.661.2 to install get same error as above failed to stat "system/build.prop": No such file or directory on TWRP. But things are moving ahead. Do I need to remove TWRP and use system install instead?

2nd Update: Well that did the trick. I reinstalled the recovery file which removed TWRP. I was then able to install the latest update as it used the system install instead. So I will leave this post just so I can refer to it in the future cos I am old and will forget. :)

I think you need to ask yourself is a better camera worth any wait? The HTC camera's decent if you don't need to blow up pictures for printing.

You should have S-OFF AND SuperCID (1111111) to flash a radio that does not match your device.

What is your CID? I think for Rogers it is ROGER001 so you must have that CID or Super CID to flash it.

[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
If it was 10$, you'd say you don't want to pay more than 5$, it if was 5$ you'd say you would pay 99 cent for it, and if it was 99 cents you'd want it for free.

[One (M8) General] Zacpod:
Sorry, guy, you missed my generation by a few decades. Try not to default to knee-jerk judgmental behaviour - you'll have a much happier life.

I have, and do, quite happily pay (and overpay) for things. But $25 to S-Off my phone isn't worth it for me. May be worth if for you, but for me there's other things I'd rather spend that money on.
[One (M8) General] Nic2112:
I had the same reaction, 25$ seemed steep and I tried the free method which didn't work. To me it was worth it but I am also someone who probably spent 400$ over the past few years for mods, themes, ROMs, stuff like that.
