720p was available since the newest apk, but as I said, 1080p and and 480p are server side changes, and you'd probably just have to wait a while on GPe.

Hi, will this works with the 2.5 GHz asian version?
[One (M8) Android Development] snachez:
Yes, I am running it no problems.. just remember to back up your radio first in case it is required later.
[One (M8) Android Development] MrH871:
hi all, flashed this RUU and i luuurrrrvvv it <3

which recovery do you recommend?

which app do you recommend to change stuff like battery icon etc (previously i was on sense, so something like sense 6 toolbox)

i have changed the font using iFont app from playstore... it changes most of the font but in some places its still stock font.. how do i install a font that would apply system wide ?(the font i installed and want is the Roboto Condensed Regular from Android L,) would it be best to find a flashable zip and flash it through recovery? thankyou

Any one here on a AT&T branded device have any problems converting the device? Any data/signal drops? Did you have to change de mid?
[One (M8) Android Development] onthezone:
Actually yes lol, I hope that's the problem. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] jdmadonna:
Is there a member that can answer this? Just needing to know if the GPE conversion will enable all radio bands on an AT&T model. I have read that the GPE is based on the AT&T sku, but that AT&T has disabled the 3.5G AWS band for T-Mobile support. Just hoping this conversion will fix that.

Thank you for any information.

I'm having some issues after conversion. Tried to restore a sense nandroid but it fails. Try to install a rom (insert coin) and it finishes but says set_per some changes failed. and when i reboot it just reboots to recovery. I ran the conversion RUU again just so i could boot as sideload failed also. The conversion goes fine, operates fine but just cant install the rom (checked md5) or restore from a nandroid. Tried philz and twrp. my nandroids are with philz. Before conversion i could restore from nandroids stored on internal.external and install this same rom file a couple times without issue. running conversion again so i can boot and put another few roms on internal sd so i can try them. Anyone seen a sense RUU anywhere?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Why don't you try reading the op?? Especially the Red text.
[One (M8) Android Development] nugzo:
yeah ok my bad. yeah it wasnt like this on the M7.. I reead the first paragraph and then the first few pages..even where it said you could restore to a sense nandroid.When text is all red, its no different then all black. or all blue to me. yeah i should have read it all, but after reading the first few paragraphs, it was all the same old yada yada lol. nothing important here. i think that the sense thing should be the very firs line, instead of at the bottom. But yeah i shoulda read the entire thing, completely my fault. but i think if it stays the way it is, i wont be the only one missing it. The first paragraph would be fine in all black. The irreversible part should be in red and stick out like a sore thumb. just the opinion from someone that made a mistake.. a little change might help others from doing the same.

OTA with custom recovery

I converted over to GPE using the non rooted RUU. The rooted option was not available yesterday. I would like to root the phone and I was thinking that I can do that by installing a custom recovery (TWRP), but I am not sure if I will receive OTAs if I do that?
[One (M8) Android Development] kennypow3rs:
Well if the hardware doesn't support the band then no software can enable that. If I'm not mistaken GPE model is based on ATT version which means it should support both LTE and 3G bands for T-Mobile and ATT but will NOT have T-Mobile AWS band support. Again a simple software conversation will not add a frequency that isn't already present on the phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] umsheikh:
Never mind I did not fully read the OP. Feel like an idiot.
[One (M8) Android Development] onthezone:
You would have to flash the original recovery then you can get OTA
[One (M8) Android Development] hedsick:
My camera app also has a line through the flash - although flashlight apps are working fine.

[One (M8) Android Development] jdmadonna:
[MENTION=4239509]kennypow3rs[/MENTION], thank you for your reply. I understand that if the hardware did not support it to begin with ie, a chipset limitation, but to my understanding, the AT&T chipset does support the band, its just that AT&T did not have it enabled as to keep people like myself getting the phone and using it unlocked with T-Mobile service. Looking at the GPE model reference here:

NM80P6B120	AT&T	-	850, 900, 1800, 1900	850, 1900, 2100	2, 4, 5, 7, 17	4+17, 2+17

NM80P6B130	T-Mobile	-	850, 900, 1800, 1900	850, AWS, 1900, 2100	4, 17	-

NM80P6B170	Google Play Edition	-	850, 900, 1800, 1900	850, AWS, 1900, 2100	2, 4, 5, 7, 17	4+17, 2+17

All these variants seem to be very closely related, the GPE and AT&T are almost a perfect match, however the only difference is the T-Mobile AWS support for 3.5G. BUT, all seem to have the same chipset. Thus I am guessing that the GPE has the same build as the AT&T model, just enabling that one radio band in its radio firmware.

Does this seem logical?

[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] would you care to share your thoughts as well?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
I believe they all share they same bands but like you said some have certain ones disabled. Now... I did notice radio configuration partitions besides the radio. I didn't include these as I never included them in my m7 ruus. My guess is these configuration files are the ones that disable certain bands. And it's exactly that.. A guess... I know for a fact the model Id is different between the GPE and the AT&T version. The m7 gpe, AT&T version and the dev edition all had the same model numbers.. As I learned today that's not the case with the m8 when I discovered the system partition sizes were different between the sense version and the GPE version. The sense version being almost two times are large..

Actually let me mention my boy [MENTION=1561342]toastcfh[/MENTION] he is a the man when it comes to knowing this radio stuff..
[One (M8) Android Development] jdmadonna:
Thank you for this information! I guess the only way to find out would be to have a complete GPE RUU with all of the radio configuration files to see if that would enable the needed bands. If I am understanding how you put together this RUU there are some things removed and left unchanged so that the prevailing radio configuration should stay intact for use with that carrier? If so, that make sense seeing as my original M7 was a T-mobile model and the GPE conversion left it functioning with full T-Mobile support, I did not flash a T-Mobile radio after the conversion.

Thank you for your contributions to this site, members like yourself make it possible for those of us with a little less knowledge able to achieve great things.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
There are some partitions that should not be touched. If I don't know what it does.. Or if it's not something I see commonly in other ruus I don't include it. I learned this the hard way when I did the m7 conversation. I came home drunk and I had all the partitions pulled from a gpe.. I clicked to batch flash them all when I did mean to omit a couple.. What I ended up with was a s-on gpe(when there was no s-off for the GPE bootloader), the serial number and imei of the device I pulled the and no Mobile connection what so ever with no way of fixing it until an s-off method came available and I could flash back the original partitions. The partitions that are flashed in the ruu are the only ones that change when there is an OTA. And even then, some of them never get updated.

Does anyone know if this will work on my Verizon m8? I saw a lot of stuff in the beginning about this being based on the att version. I don't want to convert if I can't have cell service

[One (M8) Android Development] Jase Winter:
Hi guys, i've ran this conversion a few times and run into a few small issues each time which end up forcing me to convert back and run a rom instead.

Firstly, i'm in the uk on o2 which is probably the main reason I have the issue. When on stock sense or with a GPE rom and the stock radio for my WWE unlocked device I usually have fairly solid HSPA or HSPA+ data reception. Now when I do the full conversion, i'm obviously not using a radio designed for the UK and o2's network but I do get reception including HSPA and HSPA+, the trouble is it never seems to hold onto H or H+ and continuously drops down to 3G and then back up to H over and over, this probably isn't really an issue but i'm concerned it would affect battery life.

To resolve this i've tried flashing the radio from the WWE. This works great for a time and functions just like it does when i'm just running a rom but after a while data stops working all together, the icon will still show in the status bar but the phone will have no internet connection, a reboot or sometimes airplane mode usually fixes this but it's far from ideal.

I'm wondering if any other UK converters have experienced similar issues? For now i'm back on the 4.4.3 rom and all is running fine but would obviously much prefer to be running the full conversion.

Thanks for reading if you got this far!
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
I've had similar issues on Three. In town (Liverpool) once I get 4G it's fine. But at home it'll go from 3G to H a lot and occasionally data just dies and I have to enable WiFi and then turn it off again to get data working again. Probably just the radio but I put up with it (if I'm not back on Sense, which I am at the moment)
[One (M8) Android Development] Jase Winter:
Thanks for the reply, at least i'm not alone I guess, maybe i'll just go with the conversion and live with the dropping to 3G, unfortunately i'm rarely in a 4G are (thanks o2) so I see it a lot, I am on wifi most of the day though with data turned off (thanks tasker!) so probably won't affect me too much realistically.
[One (M8) Android Development] MrH871:
i have the same problem (3UK) havent tried flashing any radios though. see what future brings us

OTA

So I have looked through a lot of this thread and can't find an answer... So I apologize if this has been answered! For some reason I am not able to get the OTA updates after the conversion. I of course have S-Off and have my CID as GOOGL001. I am running the stock recovery, not rooted or anything like that. I can manually flash the updates just fine, but want to be able to capture the OTAs. Anyone have any ideas?

[One (M8) Android Development] sweetnsour:
[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] can you tell me how you rooted the ruu? The only method that I am aware of is to unpack system.img, add the necessary files, and then repack it, although I am not sure if that works at all. I'm trying to do reverse, take a rooted ruu and make it a nonrooted copy.

While this is not related to the conversion at all, I wanted to post in a thread where nonrooted and prerooted ruus are available (sorry if this is considered off-topic). Long story short, I have a friend who is stuck on stock with superuser, is s-on and has a locked bootloader, and needs to return his device to Verizon. S-off and unlocking the bootloader are both out of the question in his particular situation.

I believe s-on prevents you from flashing ruus that are older than your current firmware. He has a rooted ruu that matches his current firmware and is looking to flash a nonrooted copy of it if s-on allows for it.

Any help with the above question is much appreciated. Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] MistaBishi:
The data switching between 3G and H is normal, mine did it on Sense too.
[One (M8) Android Development] Jase Winter:
I disagree, mine doesn't do it when on sense with the stock wwe radio or when running a gpe ROM, it's only when I do the full conversion. I put it down to the radio on the gpe not being optimised for use in the UK.

I'm finding the instructions a bit confusing. If I have added my cid and mid's to the android-info.txt file, why do I need to change my cid to GOOGL001?

If someone can confirm I'm doing this right, it would be a big help. As I understand it I just do the following:

1. I'm on vodafone so my cid is VODAP001 and mid is 0P6B10000. I edit the android-info.tx to include these.

2. In fastboot mode I run the adb command "fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001" to change my cid to GOOGL001.

3. Assuming all of the above is correct, I then run the commands in the code boxes and that's it?
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
1. No need. The MID is already in the android-info file and change CID to GOOGL001 before hand.

2. Yep

3. Yep

You have to change the CID as otherwise certain things don't work (e.g. WiFi). Don't ask me why, though!
[One (M8) Android Development] Travisimo:
Just posting to double-check my work... I bought an AT&T HTC One M8 (gunmetal) from the AT&T store yesterday, knowing full well that I wanted to immediately convert it to a Google Play Edition. So I got to work right away.

Here's what I did:

1) Unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev. Success!

2) Flashed a custom recovery (TWRP). Success!

3) Rooted the phone using SuperSU. Success!

4) Tried to S-OFF using Firewater but got the error message saying my device couldn't be used with Firewater. Failure!

5) Purchased Sunshine and used it to obtain S-OFF. Success!

6) Used Fastboot to change my CID to GOOGL001. Success!

7) Flashed the Rooted 4.4.4 RUU. Success!

I now have a GPE device and everything seems to be working properly (WIFI, etc are working great). Obviously, I don't know if OTA updates will work because I'm running the latest version, but I wanted to ask if there's anything I missed or anything I should do now to ensure I'll get OTA updates. I believe I should still be able to get OTA updates even though i am rooted as long as I uninstall my Xposed Framework modifications beforehand, right?

What is this Android-info file and MID that I am reading about? Did I miss a step, or do I need to modify something else to ensure I'll get OTA updates? Or should I not worry about OTA updates and just go ahead and wait for the flashable zip when a new update arrives?
[One (M8) Android Development] jrodsep:
Have been holding off converting my AT&T branded m8.

But I have a question, how's your signal strength using the GPE radios compared to stock AT&T radios?
[One (M8) Android Development] Travisimo:
I would love to tell you, but I honestly did the conversion as soon as I got home with my device! :D I knew that unlocking the bootloader would wipe everything anyway, so I did not want to take the time to set up twice. I can, however, tell you that the radios seem to be stellar. I was previously using a Nexus 5 and I would say that I'm getting better LTE signal on the M8 than I did on the Nexus 5. Battery life is a heck of a lot better too! I've been running the GPE all day today on wifi and LTE and I have not encountered any glitches or issues with signal.

The conversion process took a long time, but it was pretty straight-forward. Along with the guides here at XDA, I watched 3 Youtube videos fully through before starting the process just to familiarize myself with it. I watched them in the following order (the first shows how to unlock bootloader and root, the second shows how to get S-OFF but I ended up having to use Sunshine instead because Firewater did not work, and the third shows how to flash the GPE):
