I am gonna buy a T-Mobile HTC One M8 from a friend. I want to use custom ROMs which is for Unlocked version. Is it possible or not?
Actually I want to use ROMs at One (M8) Android Development section. What I have to do that? I always used unlocked Samsung phones and don't know anything about this.
If you help till tomorrow, it's gonna be awesome!

Rogers is a GSM carrier .. nearly all the roms in the M8 international forums will work fine on your device
it's a good idea to update the software OTA fully before you begin the bootloader unlock / custom recovery / Rom flashing
Would that be the same for the samsung galaxy s5? If it's from rogers cause it seems like s5 has alot of models etc

The s5 has locked bootloader
So does that mean if I want to get back to flashing Roms and having the most opportunity, I should get a m8?? Cause the compaptability of Roms with s5 is limited with model??(GONNA assume that's what locked boot loader means)
Aside from ROMs specifically intended for CDMA variants (Sprint & Verizon) and dual SIM variant (if there are even any ROMs) any ROMs meant for the M8 can be flashed on your Rogers variant.
Aside from the exceptions listed above, the M8 versions are identical in hardware, aside from minor cosmetic differences like carrier logos.
You might need to update your firmware to run the current ROMs (s-off required).
Could I flash a rom for the One Plus One to the HTC One M8 (I'm guessing no), and no I don't want to turn my device into a One Plus One I wan't to run a rom built for it.
No. You'd likely brick your device.
You flash roms made for your device. Roms from other devices need to ported to the M8 by a developer, or anyone who knows what they're doing.
So not a good idea.
im planning on getting either the M9 or M9 plus, but cant decide on which one to go for. currently i have a verizon M8 and it is VERY limited on custom kernels and roms. if i get the AT&T version, will i be limited to kernels and ROMs ONLY for the AT&T version, or can i flash kernels and ROMs from other editions as well?
I have att m8 and I've been able to convert to dev ed, google play ed and other roms. I've been able to try different kernels. Another positive is the data rollover.

So u have been able to flash roms and kernels not made EXACTLY for the ATT variant? Like the m8 has different sections for each carrier. R u able to flash stuff from the main thread?

Correct. It didn't have to be specifically for att.
ok, so im getting the AT&T variant. Verizon is just too constricting. i was only able to install 3 kernels onto it. where as the others can have literately a hundred.

Verizon version don't have all 3g and 4g frequencies. International version is different and if you flash international ruu Rom to your Verizon you can get hard brick

Does anyone have a firmware flash that removes the red text from your boot screen ?
I know there is one in the regular m9 section, but since its not posted here in the verizon m9 dev section I"am assuming that one does not work for ours with good reason since our firmware is different than theirs.
i have been searching for the same thing! its the last thing on my to do list for me honestly. i dont really know if supercid will work for us to flash international located in the remove red text aboot thread because then everyone else would be upgrading to 1.40 firmware and we would be seeing it around the vzw forums but i dont see it or any information about it...can anyone else chime in??
I feel like until HTC releases firmware update files for Verizon version then we will have to wait.

Speaking of firmware, is there an updated verizon firmware to 1.4xxxx? (Not trying to hijack the thread)

That thread does not list anywhere that it works for the verizon m9, it only lists international, at&t and tmobile as it includes international firmware. If anyone flashes that on a verizon m9 most likely their phone will be very upset and the owner may end up with a brick.
If that worked for our verizon variant I"am sure someone would have created a thread for it in our own verizon dev section.
You cannot flash a gsm firmware on a cdma verizon m9 and expect to not be regretting it lol. :crying:
In the last post on that thread someone even asks if it would work for a verizon m9 which with that being based on international firmware its pretty safe to say no it wont unless you like playing with fire I would say steer clear of that flash if you have a cdma verizon m9 or a cdma sprint m9 also.

There is an Asian guy that usually will port over an international firmware to work on verizon as he has done it on the verizon m8 I believe a couple times so keep watching the verizon m9 dev threads and you might see it, if so chances are Andy Bones will probably use that as a base to build a new version of his Fluent rom as he has in the past on the m8 which he supports the verizon m9 with Fluent rom also.
So basically if there is a way Andy Bones will find it, honestly his Fluent rom will give you the best and newest software you will find for the verizon m9.
There are a lot of good other roms but honestly most other roms just adapt to work on our verizon m9's where a rom that is made for ours will work better than one that is altered to work and where others may be based on firmware that is not verizon firmware and other roms many of the devs do not even have a verizon m9, just saying usually the best rom for your device is one made for yours and the the dev or devs themselves run your same verizon.
I"am not in any way putting down other devs with other roms because honestly they do not have to support our version they just do it because they want people to have options which is great, just try them all and decide for yourself.

I agree completely - anyone flashing firmware should be very cautious or thorough in making sure everything's in order. Trust me, I would never want someone to brick their phone.
Reason I pointed in the direction of that thread was that the Viper devs are saying that 1.40.xxx is needed for their 2.x.x ROMs. In fact, multiple VZW users are running v2.x.x on firmware 1.33.xxx just fine, myself included.
hmm we do need no red text FAUX aboot dont we:fingers-crossed:
No one have no red text aboot.img?
The ruu is out, just need a developer at this point

Will this change our cosmetic firmware number or did he edit the number back to be the original Verizon firmware.

I guess I'm a little late ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-one-m9/development/mod-red-text-aboot-t3141859
I'll leave this here anyway because it's also got a return to stock aboot linked as well.
