AT&T variant is the same device as the developer device,international/euro have slight differences via software.Im sure there is a matching hboot for the version of firmware (euro) and ROM (ARHD) you are using. Some folks have issues with LTE on euro firmware/ROM's some dont,risk you take. I usually use matched firmware bundles with said ROM/device. If you do choose to flash it do so at own risk...I dont foresee a brick or anything but may experience weirdness...You never know what certain things will do when mismatched. I would suggest you head back over to the euro developer threads and use the matching one.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] luigic81:
That makes sense. Will do, thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bit1:
Just an FYI I have the ATT variant as well and was running 3.28.401.7. I just flashed the firmware to this one straight following the included instructions and then the recovery and then the ROM. It works smooth for me so far with much improved mobile data and this ROM is pretty smooth as butter as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] manup456:
You can always flash the older firmware and restore your original backup to save some time.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] co.ag.2005:
OK, thanks. I was curious about that.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] vegasdiceshooter:
Update is flawless as usual thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] co.ag.2005:
Hmmm so far so good (started from clean) but mine doesn't auto connect WiFi either. I may reflash and wipe system and caches (wiped all the first time around)

Edit: everything else is working phenomenally! Great work and thanks OP. Well see if I can get this WiFi reconnect working.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Haven't had an issue with it. If you connect wifi,reboot the phone does it connect back to router? Mine does.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Just did alil test...walked about 75 yards from my house/router,wifi disconnected...got back into range it auto connected back to my router....so im ay a loss for this...maybe reset routers for the folks having reconnect issues...as ive said cant fix what i cant replicate here. But it seems to be random and not happening with everyone including myself....:confused::confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] co.ag.2005:
Yeah, it reconnects upon reboot but if I leave my house and come back, it doesn't reconnect like it did on 1.58. I have to manually connect to my Wi-Fi even though its still saved as the preferred network on the phone. I reflashed, so I'll check when I take the dog for a walk soon.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Id reset your router...then take dog for a walk...lol...in my case I went out into the field about 75yrds from house to see if it would disconnect and reconnect when i got back in range and it did...so kinda at a loss when i cant replicate an issue. Unsave it and save it again as default network...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] SouthernEvo:
Quick question on this . I know its been debloated and I have done a search on this thread and didn't see it mentioned so figured I would ask the question . Has all the carrier IQ tracking crap been yanked out of this one ? I want to "assume" it has being labeled as debloated , just trying to get confirmation. Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] co.ag.2005:
I took the dog for a walk (verified that wifi was not connected) and came back and it auto re-connected! not sure what was going on the first time around, but it looks like reflashing (while only wiping system/cache/dalvik-cache) worked (or maybe my router was being goofy those 4 times or so that I left the house this morning.)

thanks for all the help with trouble-shooting. Loving the rom!

one quick Q: I noticed in the APN, the name of the APN is "nxtgenphone" instead of just "phone". What does this do or is there an updated AT&T APN now? I'm not having issues or anything, just curious :)

cheers.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] swapgut:
Just finished the install, nice work Wonders_Never_Cease. I've been on ARHD for a year or so, m7 then M8 since four days ago when I got the new phone. It seemed like a good substitute for gsm CleanRom (RIP). This is a step up, the goods from a stock ROM plus adding what I want to it.

Initial boot took a while but a lot of ROMs do that, enabling Sense6 Toolbox stuff and rebooting is getting quicker already.

Looks like isis would work for me but don't think it's used anywhere around here except for the places that don't have price tags!

Thanks a lot, and hey instructions that make sense like yours haven't been seen in twenty years.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Cool...glad it sorted out...the "nxtgenphone" apn is just another type of apn...no worries..."phone" one has restrictions
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Nope carrieriq is not in this build, never was,thats only what you get with at&t builds,not with the developer builds...:silly::silly::cool:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] co.ag.2005:
ah, good to know. thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Appreciate the compliment, but please dont compare this to "clean rom"... its no subsitute...its better...isis will work if directions are folllowed to enable root cloaking of it,if you do not use you can remove it as well as the xposed apk...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] swapgut:
:o Whoops wasn't comparing yours bud. I meant the www ROM I had been using for a year. Writing isn't one of my top skills and I do know already that my phone is better than it was an hour ago.

** might have cleared that post up
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
No worries...:cool::cool:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
The euro roms, are just that...made for the euro devices...where they will most certainly "work", they are not tailored to the at&t network or configs,nor do they have certain features incorporated as this one does(VVM/ISIS etc.). There also is NO complete AT&T 4.4.3 roms currently available except for this one...its not flashy,but its fast,stable and battery is good... shrugs ...as most of the folks releasing are from overseas so thats where their main market of users is for...Im stateside and use these on my own AT&T devices, so I make them specifically for AT&T users...:silly::p:cool::cool:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] swapgut:
:highfive: ROCK ON !!

That's why I'm using your ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tarund:
I just upgraded from the last official AT&T update to this ROM. Everything went smoothly, however, I'm still wondering why I would need to re-flash the firmware after the ROM install? Haven't done so but everything is working as expected, so far.

If you can provide a reasoning behind the re-flash of the firmware after ROM install, that would be great.

Thank you for providing this and the detailed instructions. :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
I had the same experience with AT&T, but not with their phone (my MID is xxxx12000, but my original CID was BS_US001, which I think is different). On 401 I could only pull H+ speeds, but now have 8-10x LTE speed with this one. It's a beautiful thing. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] luigic81:
Thanks, I'm happy with the rom and firmware, just wanting to know if it's safe to flash modded hboot to remove red text
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bit1:
At least for me when you flash the firmware it already includes the mod to remove red text. The instructions also corroborate this
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] luigic81:
Gotcha, I suppose it would depend on the firmware source. I flashed the one from Team Venom. It apparently did not include the modded hboot ?

I'll try asking in that thread. Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Team Venom one is most likely 401, or Euro firmware.

WNC includes the 1540 firmware with this ROM, since its intended to be used with this ROM. It already has the red text removed.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
Hey, guys, need a little help. Long story short, I'm reinstalling 3.23.1540.5. Firmware was successful, trwp 2.7.1.0 successful. When I go into twrp it will automatically boot me out before I can choose anything (Nandroid or rom.zip). Do I need to be on the latest twrp or maybe 2.6.3.3? Totally confused.

Edit: OK, I found a copy of trwp 2.6.3.3 and flashed that, and I was then able to flash 3.23.1540.5 successfully. But I still don't understand why, lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Some folks have had to flash recovery twice to get it to stick,not sure why,but i reflashed mine today with a test build and had no issues wiyh 2.7.1.0. Seems sparatic@people who can and cannot flash without issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Thats what ya get for going to a euro rom....lmao..J/K
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
Yeah, yeah, yeah... :D
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Hehe...:silly::silly:... So what brought ya back?..just curious :highfive::victory:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
So I just noticed both power saving modes are unavailable/grayed-out. I tried doing a dirty flash and also restoring Nandroid I made earlier today (when, as far as I know), everything is working. Any ideaS?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Both are working here...possibly dirty flashing ,att configs for those settings are different than on a euro rom or possibly a mod youve used.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
I finally got a 1+1, so I figured I'd keep that and sell my M8. So I put ARHD back on to make it as vanilla as possible, but still better than stock. But prices on eBay & Swappa for used M8s are that great, so I figured, what the hell, might as well just use both for now.

But I couldn't get true LTE speeds with ARHD. It's like 10x faster with yours, which is just plain ridiculous, lol. But I honestly had thought when I first started playing around with the M8, since it's unbranded, I couldn't use an AT&T based ROM, even if it was my carrier, that I had to stick with international.

I got my power modes back by doing a complete wipe and fresh reinstall. Don't know what happened to that, probably something dumb on my part. It usually is, lol.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Madcat8686:
Flashed up and ready to go. Very nice work indeed. I used the 3.28.1540.5 firmware and Rom package. So far it's the best near stock experience I have found and I'm probably sticking with it for awhile. I have one recommendation:

I've seen this before and I recommend you add a step 3 to flash it again. Most of the time when you flash the firmware it asks you to flush and doesn't completely flash. You should flash the firmware a second time while in RUU mode (black screen and silver HTC). That pretty much locks the firmware in. So I think the instructions should look like this:

Thanks for the spectacular work!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I think the reason I didnt say flash it twice is because mine says after it flashes the firat part,waiting for device and finished by itself. Ammended instructions in O.P.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Cool@oneplusone, prices have gone way down for the m8 ive seen them for sale for about 250.00. The Developer Edition is the same exact device as ATT variant minus the sim lock and carrier bloat. Its not a euro device:good: not sure@where you came up with that idea@could only use international software. Dirty flash probably screwed something up.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
Actually, I dirty flashed hoping it would correct the problem, which arose after a clean flash. Who knows. The fun of Android, lol.

When I first flashed ARHD for the first time, the choices in Aroma were International, AT&T, TM, or Sprint. I understood that to mean I needed to choose the first since my M8 is unbranded. Needless to say, I'm glad that isn't the case.

As much as I like the M8, I'll never spend $700 on a phone again, seeing how fast they depreciate. You pay to be the first on your block with a new toy, lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Understand@choices...but your device is a US Developer device if like mine,not an international,from folks I have creditable info from US Developer Device is as I said exact device as AT&T just not locked down like carrier device. Ive said that too@ not spending xyz again...doesny happen though...lol

I will be traveling to Brazil soon whih this M8, it's unlocked and the band correspond.

Is this rom OK to use over there?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Should be,will just have to input apns for carrier used there.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bruce7373:
Yep, you're right. I know that now...where were you when I first got my M8, lol. And yeah, no sh&t, 6 mos. from now I'll be looking for the next new thing. ;)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I believe this was resolved awhile ago have been no more report of any google apps not working.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] komugi:
Hmm, ok, I'll try flashing another ROM to see if it'll resolve it or do a factory reset.

Help

Guys I downloaded the file called ATT_ISIS_2_23_502_3_M8.zip on zipped it but the instructions are kind of hard to fallow as im flashing from ViperOne. This is a bit more advanced as it has more files to flash and im not to sure witch file is witch file in the zip.

Updating Firmware:

1. Copy ROM to storage is it (boot.img)?

2. Copy Firmwarezip to adb/fastboot location is it (stock_recovery.img)?

3. Drag twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img to adb/fastboot location

I would think is this one openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m8_0.img?

If im wrong can some one help me with the first 3 steps. :good:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
Any TWRP 2.7.1 or above is good.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dust869:
So just get files all the way at the bottom? There is no order on witch ones you need to do first or there is? By the way thanks for the reply its making things more clear for me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
Just fallow the instructions. Firmeware first, then twrp, then Rom.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Pumpiron579:
With tweaks applied in a bad AT&T area, this is off the charts
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
So is this.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dust869:
all the files I download I get openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m8_0 where do I get the new one?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dust869:
Last Q should I go with the 2.7.1.0 or 2.8.1.0. And thank you for all the help and fast replies.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
I'm running 2.8.1 without any problems.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lunercrab:
ok so sorry to ask but im a bit confused...i flashed the firmware...then recovery...then the rom....but in the final instructions it says to flash the firmware again after the rom? is that correct? those final instructions are kinda throwing me off a bit...i haven't been able to boot into the rom yet cause i keep getting stuck at the htc screen...i get the whole xposed stuff i have to do but then it says run isis again?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
Reboot and wait till Rom loads. It's gonna take a while. Patience.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lunercrab:
yeah i know it's up and running now....one more question...how comes when i boot into the bootloader after i flash the firmware it shows the firmware version in the "OS" section but after i flash the rom the "os" section is blank?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bia9977:
I'm not sure why it's happening.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] manup456:
Was not trying to thank the post but reply you need to flash the firmware then the 8.1.0 twrp and it will fix that. That happened because of the old twrp recovery first.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lunercrab:
ok i'll do that...but everything is up and running fine...tho my radio is 1.21...isnt the latest att radio 1.16? i came off an euro rom so maybe thats why? should i change the radio version again to the one in the op?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] manup456:
Holly cow I keep thanking your post lol...but it's not because of the radio and I would stick with the latest. The reason the OS disappears is old twrp recoveries for sure.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Leave radio [MENTION=2161373]latest[/MENTION] from 3.28.1540.5 firmware flash...the 1.16 was for 2.23 double text issue. The os not showing is nothing to worry about does not affect anything whatsoever.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bit1:
Oohh, for us crazies would you be willing to share those tweaks you applied? More out of geek factor than need. Thank you
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Will be an update on 10th,until then its in testing to make sure no issues.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZeRo2o9:
? lower numbers are before tweak then you see the speed jumped up after I applied it
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Well at least we know its not a placebo effect...all have reported back with better lte speeds so far.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] PwnCakes193:
What are the tweaks to get those crazy speeds? Would it be possible to flash this firmware in a GPE Rom and still boot or does the partition issue make that a no go
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Youd probably have to convert back too a sense rom,I havent messed with any gpe builds so unclear how things Ive found would or wouldnt work.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dust869:
I went to 1.16 after flashing the Rom. Where can I fined the one that come with Rom so I don't have to reflash everything?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Can download the firmware package pull the radio outta the 3.28.1540.5 and use it in the 1.16 flashable zip.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sameer1807:

Id have to say something youve installed thats causing this...Tested hear as well no issues.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sameer1807:
i only have sense 6 toolbox installed..and dont see any apps that could cause this. ill try reflashing to see if it fixes the issue.

Installed and using what modules? Thats where to start looking.:cool:
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sameer1807:
the only mod im using with the sense 6 toolbox that could effect the camera is the wake gesture. i disabled the sense toolbox all together but still crashing when i press record.

So this software collection has really helped me out. Thanks [MENTION=5345690]Wonders_Never_Cease[/MENTION] . Donation coming your way.

We've been talking about Google issues with international/non-ATT ROMs and I had one that was driving me crazy. Heavy buffering during the first 10 seconds of every song via Google Play Music streaming regardless of whether I was on my home WiFi (20mbit) or LTE (almost always 10mbit+). Plenty of bandwidth to stream, even at 320k MP3.

The buffering problem seemed to start when I upgraded to the latest 3.x firmwares. I've tried several 4.4.4 ROMs, all clean flashed, and had the same issue. So maybe it was the international stuff doing it. I decided to test out that theory by going back to AT&T-specific firmwares and used this thread.

I first tried wiping everything and flashing the 3.28.1540.5 firmware and ROM, If I understand correctly, it's not official AT&T but is for the identical Dev version. Regardless, didn't work. Buffering problem was still there.

I decided to go back to total stock and flashed the officially released AT&T 4.4.3 version - 2.22.1540.4 ROM and firmware. Eureka! Everything works great now, and LTE speeds have jumped from 10-20mbit to 30-40. That's especially interesting because I had already tried swapping out the international modem/radio with AT&T's 1.16 version. That only got me to 20. Flashing the whole firmware and stock ROM got me to 40.

So this is a good lesson - even though the phone hardware is identical and we complain about the carriers taking forever for updates, there obviously is value in what they do to optimize these ROMs for their own network. It's also funny that I (and probably most of you) will spend like 4 hours downloading and flashing firmware/ROM combos to fix a single annoying, but relatively minor, issue. :)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Your welcome, remember the latest 2.23.502 is the ATT build that was last "official" att build, these are remade by me with the US developer version software. And yes there are a lot of issues folks are encountering as ATT upgrades and changes things on their network. Its only gonna get worse for those using euro roms and firmwares with att devices. They are implementing the VoLTE configs and files in their next update@ official ATT. Euro software,will not include the code for this Im guessing. Many have had the low speeds on euro roms and have come here and realised that it is indeed the euro builds cauing the issues...bruce7373 was my first encounter with the issue that I fixed in my builds, theres an update coming today that even further enhances the speed of lte significantly. In good testing environment testers are seeing 10-20 mbit increases. Thank you for the donation greatly appreciated.
