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'll leave this here anyway because it's also got a return to stock aboot linked as well.

Is it possible? Sure... Should you? Not unless you want a brick for a phone
Agreed ....+100
DO NOT FLASH INTERNATIONAL ROMS TO THIS DEVICE ....g
Thanks for the tip.
You mean like this International based rom?

Fair enough...but perhaps I should clarify my response a bit more...
Scott's roms are ports to our devices. .....and he has pulled the bases to create a compatible build from international source.
Making these ported roms "Safe" to use...but in raw form...they are flash bricks for us...
The OP got the generalized answer of "NO" because of the risk in flashing the unchanged international variant builds...which mean an instant brick on the I317/I317M....
Since we don't know to what extent the OP interprets the meaning "international" He/She could take a yes answer and flash a brick by using an untouched build from anywhere on the internet....
It happens all the time, and is the reason for my Caps locked NO.....It then falls to the user to read and understand the meanings, and the differences between international, and international ported rom.......g

Hello all, I've been following the M8 forum for a few weeks in anticipation of getting a new phone on May 8th. I have a bit of a noob question though, one that I've been unable to find the answer to myself.
Which version of ARHD 5.0 should I install on a T-Mobile HTC One M8? I've been following their thread for a while and intend to unlock/root/install ARHD within a few days of getting the device. I see mentions of the international version as well as different versions for each US carrier. My understanding is that GSM carriers can install international versions whereas CDMA carriers must install their specific variants.
If my understanding is correct and you are able to install the international version or the T-Mobile version, then what is the difference?
I appreciate any help. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to rooting and flashing roms, but I'm coming from a VZW Galaxy Nexus where it was pretty much idiot proof. I've been running the same ROM for so long that I know exactly how to flash it each time a new update is released. It didn't have specific variants because the ROM was designed specifically for the VZW Gnex. So I'm a little confused by the different variants and want to make sure I don't mess anything up a week after I get the phone.
Again, thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me wade through my confusion.
You can flash any GSM variant.
The differences will be whatever the carrier has done to tweak their version of the roms, included apps, tweaked settings, signal icons etc.

Thank you for confirming that. While I was like 90% sure, it's better to have someone confirm that for me.
All,
Wondering what is the general rule of thumb about flashing the international firmware(think they on M version now?) and flashing the 855 Roms? How badly will this effect my 850 At&t G3? Can I even doing it without bricking my phone?
Thanks for any opinion.

Unless said otherwise, you should never flash a ROM that was made for a different version of the one you own.
Also, chances are that it won't even let you flash it cause of the updater-script (fail safe).
Got it! So I'm pretty much stuck with waiting for AT&T to update the firmware of my phone. I'm more concerned about firmware rather than ROM's since the AT&T version is still on the 'D' version of LG's firmware and the international version already on 'N'. Would like to update the firmware ASAP to fix some bugs.

You can try the modified international stock ROM from AndroidUser00110001, you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-poweruser-edition-v1-modified-t2930038
I'm backing up things to try it :fingers-crossed:
Hello All,
I am new to the forum and first of all I want to say thanks for every one who contributed so far.
I was able to unlock and root my htc one M8 dual sim using info from a thread on this forum.
Now i am wondering if I can make my phone have Nexus software (the software on nexus 5 phone)? I prefer the pure google version vs the Htc version.
How can this be done? I assume flashing a custom rom? Please if someone can explain to me or point me to a direction it would be great.
Mostly I like the way nexus outlines the contacts and the dialpad (missed calls, dialed contacts...) better than the htc.

I think what you want is the GPE conversion. It's stock Android.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
Not sure if it works with dual sim.
Yes stock android GPE is what I want. But the link you provided doesn't seem to work for dual sim.
or maybe I should try what's suggested here?

You are right. hehe sorry im new to android scene, its a bit confusing at first.
As per my google research, I am yet to find a GPE for HTC M8 dual sim, which doesn't seem logical in my head.
The current software (sens) is based on GPE right? so GPE should be available somewhere....or I am halucinating?
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.
