[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Verizon is the CDMA version of the M8, and actually different hardware from the "GSM" version (yes, I know the "CDMA" version actually supports some GSM bands, but its still what folks on this forum call the 2 versions: CDMA vs. GSM). Verizon/Sprint versions are just about the only ones that you should have stayed away from to work on Rogers. All "GSM" variants are essentially the same in hardware, and can be converted to work on other carriers with s-off. The same is not true with the Verizon version.

ROMs that don't specifically support the Verizon version won't work on your phone. Hardware differences (CDMA vs. GSM) mean the ROM at least needs to have specific kernel changes to work on the Verizon version.

I'm not sure whether or not you'll be able to get LTE (Rogers network) working on the Verizon phone. Even if you do, you will still be lacking one of the three LTE bands that Rogers uses. Rogers uses LTE bands 4, 7, and 17; while the Verizon phone only supports LTE bands 3, 4, 7 and 14. Therefore, band 17 is missing; and even if you get LTE working, you won't have LTE in any area where Rogers uses band 17.

Flashing a ROM that supports the Verizon version should get the phone working again. But I don't think it will do everything you want from it.

Ok, I was able to reflash stock verizon 4.4.2. The option of adding APN was available, I added the rogers info, and I am getting data now, albeit very slow. I should have researched more before buying, I thought having 2 compatible bands would be enough.

2 of the 3 bands is not even close to enough if the band Rogers uses in your home/work/school area is the one that is missing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

I can only suggest you try other alternatives. V4A is one....probably others around. Or if it is that important, use GPE or Sense. Otherwise, yes, you may be out of luck unfortunately.

Also, other roms may not have the issue....you'd need to read some of the threads, start at the end....and see what others say. Or take a nandroid, and flash some and test. :)

Why does the proximity sensor does its job so badly during calls? With just a few centimeters distance the screen turns on, then random taps happen and when it's time to end the call the screen simply won't turn on to show the in-call screen because the device is on standby. Is there any way to change the distance the proximity sensor turns on/off the screen during calls?

I'm 99% sure you cannot make any changes to the system from within the OS on an S-On device. Only via recovery.

I would still like your opinion on the proximity sensor issue, people.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _purple_:
Even though I have a properly rooted device, I noticed that any app that tries to make changes to the system fails. A few examples of apps that come in mind: Titanium Backup, GSam battery monitor - root companion, TWRP manager. So I can only assume that this happens because of S-On, or maybe because of stock HTC kernel. Unfortunately I cannot help you further. Let's hope more experienced members will notice our questions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
S-on is fine. But you need an insecure kernel to write to the system partition on this phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasim9283:
But for insecure kernel I need s-off right?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
NO. Why would I say s-on is fine, if that were the case?

I'm not sure where you got the notion that you need s-off for insecure kernel or system write permission. Its not correct for this device.

You can write to the kernel partition of this phone with s-on, as long as the bootloader is unlocked and you have root.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasim9283:
OK but

ok good to know but

i am also suffering the same issue as mentioned by _purple in above post that TB, V4A, and ES file explorer are not able to delete system files and are glitchy even after root access is granted and shows ok.

i think its related to busybox or may be something else if you can help.

actually i rooted my device only to avoid bloatware and to have some good sound mods (dragon fi is working perfect) and the third reason is to have some game hacks.

but i dont want some custom rom additional many stuffs, and want to keep getting updates, after studying a lot in here, still im not knowing much, it would be good if you share some latest guides or links, or your advice

thanks

Details regarding the kernel mod to disable write protection is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701816

Although if you go to the last post on the thread, you will see the OP has stopped this effort before Lollipop and the reason for that. It also advises how you can pull the required kernel module from a similar based custom ROM.

Before doing the mod, make a nandroid backup of your present ROM (sounds fully stock since haven't been able to delete any system apps) in case anything goes wrong making the kernel insecure. And you will also need the nandroid to return to stock to install OTA updates (OTA will not install if the system is modified).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _purple_:
No, redpoint73 explained to both of us that it is a restriction set by the kernel, not allowing changes to system. So I was wrong about S-On.

Hi everyone!

I've been far from Rom changing, etc for a period. I've done this with HTC Desire HD and Samsung S4, but these two are very simpler than M8. Now I wnat to do this with my M8. These are my phone's details:

HTC One M8x

Android 5.0.2

Build number 4.24.709.2

I want to Root, S-OFF, Install a new Recovery (The best in your opinion). Also I don't think about restore it once again to factory defaults as Custom Roms (Like Android Revolution, Venom Viper, etc) update too! These are my questions:

1. Can I Root and S-OFF Android 5?! Is there any problem with this?

2. What Recovery do you suggest for me?

3. May you give me a link for this? I can't find it.

4. What is SuperCID?! Should I do this?! How?

5. As you see my phone's build number shows it's not Europe version. It's for Korea I think. How can I find original Rom if there's a problem?

Finally, Thank you very very much!

Clean flashing. The firmware I flashed can be found here. It's the international edition M8 firmware. Let the records show that I did convert to GPe earlier, but I figured flashing the RUU would modify everything back to the way it was.

You don't happen to know which other firmware I would flash to resize the data partition back to the way it was, do you?

Edit: As it is right now, I'm currently running the international firmware right now without a problem, but flashing anything else (Sense based) has effectively made my phone unusable for the aforementioned reasons. So what you're saying makes sense.

Which ROM for an Unlocked HTC M8 branded Verizon, running on MetroPCS carrier??

Hello,

I purchased an unlocked HTC M8 branded Verizon and have successfully been using it on MetroPCS' LTE network.

I'm considering a different ROM in order to:

- Remove all the Verizon bloatware

- Get as close to Android as possible (I'm dependent upon all the Google apps, gmail, hangouts, calendar, etc.)

- Hopefully get a working FM Radio

From all the threads/replies, I still have not been able to figure out which ROM I'm supposed to use:

- Since my phone is Verizon branded HTC M8, do I have to use ROMs developed for Verizon?

- Which ROM would get me closest to my goals?

- If my phone is unlocked, does that mean I can flash my ROM or do I need to unlock something else?
