[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm doing well. I basically defected to the M8 shortly after it released, as I maintain an Index thread in the AT&T M8 section, and otherwise spending my time helping others on the M8.

Not an expert on the Sprint version (which has some important differences from other M8 versions). But I think it can be SIM unlocked through Sprint, otherwise you should be able to purchase an unlock code from online sources. There is no current way to hack/mod the phone to be SIM unlocked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 31ken31:
Not looking for a hack just been reading conflicting info. Some say only can be unlocked for international calling and domestic bands (which are in the phone by default) are blocked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not sure. You might research in the Sprint specific M8 section (if you haven't already).

Pretty sure I've seen the Verizon variant use on AT&T. But the VZN version is SIM unlocked out of the box.

His problem isn't getting to bootloader, which he can do. The problem is, that once he gets to bootloader, the OTA file is still there, so it automatically sees the update (before he has a chance to select any hboot options - which is what happens when there is an update file on the phone) reboots to stock recovery to install the OTA, then reboots.

Originally AT&T (probably) but converted to Euro (401).

AT&T isn't much different, aside from the fact that MM hasn't been released for that version yet, and it doesn't get OTA updates unless connected to AT&T's network.

But both those are moot points, since the previous user in question has a phone "converted" to Euro version.

Hi,

I am not a HTC N00b by any standards! I have done bootloader unlock, s-off, radio update, recovery, etc... for more than 100 HTC phones by now!

I have gained s-off in phone like desire hd, sensation, incredible s, one xl, one x and many more. One thing that I know is that for all these phones s-off was an option!! No necessary! I remember that only for one x it made your life easier so you didn't need to flash the boot file through fast boot after installing ROMs.

What baffles me is that I have seen several posts here that says for M8, I need to have s-off to be able to go from various releases to each other. Right now I have a factory unlocked international HTC One M8 sitting here on my desk... with unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, rooted, and stock 6.0.x android. I don't know if it is safe for me to flash CM13 without S-off.

Is it possible for me to just wipe the phone and flash 6.1 later (when it is available?) Or do I have to go back to stock ... update to the possible future oem release of next versions... and then go back on custom?

In other words I need to know if s-off is needed in my case for going to various ROMs? I really don't understand the importance of firmware files for M8.

I have already searched many threads and I haven't found any definite answer and most relevant answers was posted on branded phones threads.

Thank you very much in advance

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
The only possible way for us to tell which version of the device you have is by you posting the results of fastboot getvar all after removing your serial and IMEI numbers. Until you do that, we know nothing. Or you could simply restore your backup, (you did make one, didn't you), that you made before you flashed Viper.

It is NEVER necessary to have S-Off to install ROMs.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The matter of firmware is a little complicated, so your confusion is justified.

HTC has been in the habit (at least for this device) of updating the firmware (hboot, radio, WiFi, etc. - modules needed for the phone to work, but not contained in the system partition) with each new Android build. If your for instance try to flash a Lollipop ROM while still on KitKat firmware, the likely result is some serious bugs like broken WiFi and extreme long boot time (or not boot).

The best thing you can do, is read on the specific ROM thread (that you want to flash) to see what firmware is required. Currently I believe both LP and MM firmware are fine for CM13, but KK won't work. But I'm not a CM13 user, so check the thread to be sure. Also, this may change as more folks move to MM firmware, so make sure you check the latest info.

And in general, most of the MM custom ROMs seem to work fine with LP firmware. So in this particular instance (going to MM) it seems HTC didn't change much in the firmware. But again, read the desired ROM thread for details on required firmware, known issues, etc.

S-off makes it easier to update firmware, but its not strictly required. You can update firmware while s-on by "official" means by using the appropriate RUU; or alternately by returning to stock ROM and stock recovery, and OTA update (both of these methods will update the firmware).

In short, as long as your firmware supports the ROM you want to flash, s-off is not needed to flash a ROM. For this device, boot.img will flash with s-on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
First .. your firmware is a lollipop firmware. You should update your firmware to Marshmallow 6.16.708.1 for better ROM experience.

To do this, you don't need to lock your bootloader, unroot is yes but has no effect because in the end you're going to install a pre-rooted custom ROM. You need non-rooted ROM to do OTA to update to the latest.

Second - AFAIK Viper ROM has many its own customization so it is advisable not to use xposed and xtended settings on this ROM.

What the developer (who ever you talked too) meant - install a stock like Marshmallow ROM like ARHD, JAZZ, SkyDragon, MaximusHD and many more .. not necessarily a real stock ROM to use xposed and xposed modules.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arash72af:
i have couple of question about all the things that you said,

First: how can i update my firmware ( i didnt update it before its my first time, sorry if i ask...! )

Second: according to " install a stock like Marshmallow ROM like ARHD, JAZZ, SkyDragon, MaximusHD and many more .. not necessarily a real stock ROM." which one of these do u recommend? that has the LESS bug and problem, i just used Viper till now, please recommend me one thank you SO MUCH
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
ckpv5 has a great thread linked in the bottom of his signature, "My TWRP Stock Nandroid Backups & Stock Recovery Collections"

Here you'll find the files and instructions to return to stock ROM (using stock TWRP backup) and stock recovery. From there, you can install OTA, which will update your firmware (if MM is deployed for your version).

That is a tough question to answer. Different folks have different expectations and preferences. How a ROM performs (including "bugs") will vary greatly from one person to another, depending on how you use your phone. What one person recommends may or may not be the best for your. They are all great ROMs in some respect. And ROMs based on official Sense tend to be very stable with few major bugs.

Hi guys,

I've had a look around now, but can't find anything to answer my question...

I have an a One M8, and I'm on the UK provider EE, which offers wifi calling.

I want to install the SkyDragon Rom.

I wonder if anyone could tell me if it's possible to get wifi calling on this phone in the first instance, and if so, how?

Thanks!

Edit: Follow up question - what's the latest firmware version? And where can I grab it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
If you are on EE you should have had the MM update recently. If not, it may be forthcoming. Ask in the Skydragon thread if WiFi calling is available. They should know what their own ROM is capable of. The latest firmware begins with the number 6. If you have a 4, you are still on lollipop firmware. You can see in the bootloader screen beside OS.

Wifi calling is carrier specific feature, you won't have it on any custom ROM when the ROM base is not EE. Most custom ROMs are based on EU WWE.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniel.Alexie:
I was wondering if anyone had similar issues to the one described below and if anyone could recommend any fixes.

So my s-on, bootloader unlocked HTC One M8 was on android 4.4.4. I updated to Lollipop and Marshmallow afterwards. Feeling that my battery life had regressed I installed TWRP and flashed a 3.28.401.9 kitkat rom made by android revolution that was basically a 4.4.4. Kitkat + Sense 6 deodexed rom. Afterwards, i flashed the stock recovery for my software version but now i'm still unable to update to Lollipop. Even though i have stock recovery and i'm on 3. 28.401.9, every time i try to update, after the first update bar is finished my phone goes into the red triangle phase and i cannot continue the installation. Moreover, if i enter bootloader, it says my software version is 6.12.401.4 which is marshmallow for the European m8, which i have. Somehow when i updated, even though i was able to revert to kitkat my phone main version remained the one for marshmallow. Has anyone had similar issues? And if so, did someone manage to fix them? Thank you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Your bootloader shows firmware version, in settings shows your ROM base (the firmware the ROM is based on). There is no fix as nothing is wrong here. You have MM firmware, so just flash a Lollipop or Marshmallow ROM with TWRP.
