There are roms that can be installed that don't need to be carrier dependent; rooted devices come to mind. There are a number of T-Mobile specific Roms you will be able to install but if it is your intent to re-enable T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling, you need a T-Mobile "hardware" M8 to do so. You can install a T-Mobile SIM card in the device and it will work though you will need to edit the APN settings. I'm going to assume the M7 is similar to the M8, both devices with T-Mobile SIM cards will run LTE.

Unfortunately the apk has stopped

I have a doubt, I bought M8 recently and it runs on 5.0.2 lollipop. Not rooted. I downloaded active soccer 2 from some website. It installs in the device but it says unfortunately the game has stopped. But it runs flawlessly on my xperia l running on jelly bean.

PS Xperia L is rooted but the apk does not require rooting....

Any advice would be of great help........ Thanks!!!!!!!

Have issues getting rid "System Update Ready"

I have a rooted HTC one M8 phone (verizon) that I've S-offed and rooted with sunshine on 5.0.1 . It keeps stating that the System Update is ready and asking me if I want to install now or install later. I can back out of this easily enough but it just won't go away.I added system Tuner and disable services app and I've disabled the updater app, and the HTC dm but it still comes up. what prcoesses, services or events do I have to turn off to get this to stop showing?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Just flash a custom ROM that's compatible with Verizon, problem solved permanently. You can't install OTA updates if you are rooted. Or simply return to stock and take the OTA. You cannot UNroot, you must be completely stock.

---------- Post added at 08:44 ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 ----------

Plain and simple answer is no. You need to convert your device to GPE first. Search for a thread that explains how and you will know a lot more.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is not correct, virtually all "GSM" M8 versions are identical in hardware (the few exceptions being dual SIM M8 and M8 Eye).

Definitely not the same as the M7, and you shouldn't assume so. Snapdragon 801 is the first smartphone chipset where band support is enabled in software, making different carrier hardware variants largely unnecessary.

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

As I've just noted, virtually all "GSM" M8 versions are the same. You should be able to flash any ROM intended for the "GSM" M8 (avoid Verizon, Sprint, etc.).

Although I'm not sure of your intent when you ask about T-Mob ROMs; are you using the phone on the T-Mobile network? If so, that is a different question. If you want to enable all the bands used by T-Mob, you will need to flash a T-Mob firmware.zip or RUU (s-off required, and may need to change CID/MID).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltacity:
Which I have done. I had already gotten S-off beforehand and I changed both the MID and CID to t-mobile. Then I used a RUU and took an OTA update and then reflashed TWRP and supersu.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _purple_:
I have a German O2 device and it doesn't show any logo at boot. When I was about to root I was also worried if I can follow the guides here as I thought they were strictly for unbranded devices. I asked if it is ok, I didn't get any answer, I proceeded and rooted my device. Since then I realized that my device being branded is not a restriction and I could safely follow all guides for customizing my device. Usually devices branded with American carriers is the problem. To remove the logo you need to S Off, change cid and flash an unbranded Rom.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Sorry, he doesn't need to be S-OFF to flash ROMs. Once he is rooted and has a custom recovery, TWRP 2.8.7.0. recommended, he can flash away. Before rooting all he needs to do is make sure his firmware is up to date by checking the bootloader screen and seeing what is written by the OS: entry. As long as he has 4.XX.206.XX firmware, he can flash any lollipop ROM he wishes. He doesn't need to change CID or MID to do so either. He only needs to do that IF he wishes to flash a particular ROM from another carrier, I.E. Verizon, Vodafone, Sprint or WWE. Most ROMs are flashable with the correct firmware version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _purple_:
What rom, custom rom? He asked how to debrand his device and as you wrote this requires S-Off (for CID change) to flash WWE.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Once he flashes a custom ROM any branding on the phone is gone. It does not remain O2, Vodaphone etc. Only the firmware remains branded. All boot animations etc from a branded device are gone. That's with ANY custom ROM. He only needs S-OFF if he wishes to have a branded ROM from another carrier.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen:
Moderator information,

I have cleaned the thread a bit. I think people have gotten confused as to what the user is looking removed. If the user has a branded splash screen, before the boot animation, then yes he will need S-off to remove. If it is a branded boot animation which I think could be the case, he does not need s-off, but a simple flash of a custom rom will remove the branding.

Many thanks,

Stephen

The coverage maps don't mean squat, and are often wrong.

Hi guys.

Let me introduce my HTC m8. It is rooted, s-on, TWRP as custom recovery (2.8.7.0), using stock rom. It's running android 5.0.1, sense 6, software number 4.16.1540.8.

As my phone has become very slow, I decided to try a new ROM so get the so called butter smooth custom ROM.

As always, I read a lot before doing things that after I can regret.

And here comes my doubts:

- I would like to use sense 7, so I think skydragon would be nice for me. To be able to use it, do I have to update my firmware and be S-OFF?

- If I opt to use revolution HD, do I have to update my software number/firmware?

Thanks for your help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
The answer for both questions... no & no, your current firmware 4.16.1540.8 is good enough.

Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, then make a clean install any of those ROMs. They'll work.

Just to let you know that this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59633002&postcount=3 made me think I needed to be S-Off. I may have misinterpreted it...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You need one of those firmware if you're not already on it and for that you need S-Off if you want to do it manually. But your device is already running 4.16.1540.8 (one the firmware listed there), so you don't need S-Off and you're good to go.

In fact with your current firmware, you can install any lollipop ROMs.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You don't say what your MID is. It says in the thread you quoted that if your MID is not in the info.txt, then you should add it in. The name of the ROM you are trying to flash has this in the title: 4.04.1700.4 and that is the firmware version it is based on. I think you need to update your firmware to that version and try booting again. That seems the most likely cause for your problem.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
For the purpose of wiping when installing a ROM, I always do my wipes in TWRP. Its pretty much why that function exists in TWRP.

If you choose the default wipe in TWRP, it just wipes cache, Dalvik and data. If you want to wipe internal storage, you will need to go into "Advanced" options and select it for wipe.

Although

be aware

, by doing so, you will wipe any nandroid (TWRP) backups, personal photos/vidoes, ROM zips, or other personal data on internal storage (assuming you selected that as your default save location in TWRP, camera, etc.).

Believe it or not, its not uncommon that folks wipe internal storage, and then discover they wiped all their nandroid backups and the ROM zip they were going to flash! Move any files you want to keep to the removable SD, your computer, etc. before you wipe internal storage.

Obviously, selecting in TWRP Advanced wipe options to wipe the (removable) SD card will do exactly that. So again, be sure that is really what you want to do, considering what backups, ROM zips etc. may be saved there.

My understanding if you select to wipe the phone within OS settings, it will give you a choice of what gets wiped (internal storage, SD card, etc.) or not. But as I've already mentioned, I always wipe within TWRP, so I've done the wipe within OS exactly zero times ever, over the course of 6 Android devices.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlcaloidedoErgot:
Thanks for your thorough explanation. I even went to double check where my backups were...

Before you even wrote this, I decided to do a factory reset inside TWRP and after that, my apps were gone and I had to set up my phone again. That's ok. But when I went to storage, even though I deleted all music and videos, I still get around 9Gb consumed... So, I should then (or firstly) do a wipe as you said to get the most out of space of my phone?

I mean, is it safe doing this? See attachment
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I personally don't recommend to wipe the system partition. Reason being:

1) A successful ROM flash will by definition wipe the system and install the new ROM on the system partition.

2) If for some reason, the ROM fails to flash, and you wiped system, the phone will be unable to boot into OS. Now, as long as you made a nandroid, you can restore and you're fine. But you'd be surprised at how many post I've seen along the lines of "I wiped system, the ROM failed to flash, now I don't know what to do since the phone won't boot". This is most common in cases where the person primarily uses the phone to download ROMs.

Some folks will swear by wiping system before flashing a ROM, claiming that it prevent some random bugs. But after many ROM flashes without manually wiping system, I've never had such bugs. Not to say its not possible, it just hasn't happened to me. And even if it did, its easy enough to go back into TWRP, wipe system and flash the ROM again.

Aside from system, I agree with the wipe selections in your screenshot. Of course, this is assuming there is not data you want to keep on internal storage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlcaloidedoErgot:
Thanks. I will do exactly what you are used to. You are far more experienced and if it works for you, it will work for me.

Again, your thorough explanation was quite elucidating.

I will continue installing a new custom ROM. I will keep my fingers crossed. I have read a lot. Hope I don't mess with things.

Thanks again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlcaloidedoErgot:
One, I hope, last question. I have already done the wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data and Internal Storage) and it went fast ans smooth. But I still don't get almost 30Gb of space, assuming that my stock ROM is less than 2Gb.

Where am I being wrong?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Internal storage is just one part of the on-board memory/storage, one of something like 41 partitions. It represents the user-accessible part of storage.

I think the system (OS) partition is something like 5 GB allocated to it.

Then there is radio, recovery, and lots of other partitions (although most are relatively small). Some have also speculated that a portion is reserved for video memory or the like.

If you wiped data and internal storage, its the most storage you are going to "get back".

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Apps and the user setup of the phone are stored on the Data partition. So if you wipe data, that is the expected outcome.

If you want to try to perform OTA on your previous rooted rom, then forget about it ! You need a NEVER rooted stock rom + stock recovery.

You can find the stock recovery in the NEW OTA.

- download the ota

- select "install later"

- copy the ota.zip to the PC

- open the zip and take out the firmware.zip

- open the firmware zip and take out the recovery.img

Flash that recovery.img and you will have the stock recovery back to perform OTA updates
