Hi,
I have unlocked HTC One M8 with S-OFF also; originally for Sprint but now using in India (purchased through ebay).
Can I install Andoird 6.? I have installed GPE 5.1 and it is always showing Android 6 update downloaded but unable to update. It just gets rebooted.
Any help!

There's currently only 1 Android 6.0 ROM that works on Sprint M8 and it is quite buggy since it's an alpha release. Here's the link:

Thanks, saw this. What is different about Sprint HTC from normal HTC. Are the hardware fundamentally different in some ways?

Sprint has some "extra" stuff installed on their phones that requires a ROM with Sprint compatability to work. Flashing the normal HTC firmware onto the Sprint hardware will cause a brick.

Just wanna put it out there, the ROM is not so buggy. I have been using it as my daily driver since a week. Never had any issues so far, battery life is also great.

Besides radio, there's some apps inside that Sprint put in, like the Kids Mode app and some other Sprint bloat. I don't know much about this bloat since I was never on Sprint's network.

The Marshmallow Rom port for Sprint isn't buggy at all. I was using it with Xposed and it ran great. You definitely can run as your daily.

It's not just extra stuff, it's the phone structure even system partition. Basically Sprint network is cdma but it has a option to run gsm when Sprint customer travels international. But it's a cdma global phone. International M8 is totally different than cdma global and hence you won't be able to run international ROM unless developer made a port for Sprint version. Many peopl bricked their phones and wasted many days fixing it, including me lol.. it's not worth trying

I used to have Bad Boyz ROM for my daily drive. I tried GPE ROM with Android 5.0 and all other Sprint compatible ROMs including Viper ROM. I also tried to flash international ROMs, but had lot of issues (one of the issue I can reacall is system partition was screwed up after flashing - which caused issued with playing music, music wouldn't play continuously). Then I got a new phone from Sprint with Uh Oh protection guarantee and never rooted it ever since. It works like charm, though I struggled not to root in the beginning.. Have a Nexus 7 for all the tasting stuff . Until HTC releases Android 6.0 I have no issues living with Lollipop, its still great!

How are we supposed to flash this if this is quincyatt?
From what I understand they are cross compatible. I flashed the T-Mo stock rom onto my unlocked At&t Note since I use T-Mobile for my service which allows wifi calling.

1st post after years of lurking:
My i717 is an unlocked ATT and rooted - to run on Tmo. I wonder if the rom (bloated as it may be comparred to the ROM I'm using) will install well on my 1+yr old ATT model. I suppose only one way to tell. (crossing fingers).
Anyone tried to see if nfc beam works by default on this updated / stock rom?

It will work on either unit. I currently am using an unlocked and rooted I717 and have run successfully both T-MO and AT&T ROM's.
I just need to get one that's not stock T-Mo to get the Wifi Calling working because I need it for my new place where I get NO reception LOL.
I am unable to update my HTC one to 4.3 and I have been told it's because I am not stock android. Is there any way I can find out?

Does your One has a custom ROM, or is it like it came out of the box?
Stock Android could be a clean Android, no Sense UI. You can only get a Stock Android on ONE if you have a GPE, or converted it. If it's neither of those, then you have Sense. Now, it depends on the carrier you have. AT&T, T-mobile, and Sprint already released the 4.3 upgrade. Verizon is still messing around with it.

Sorry I meant stock sense. I am on Vodafone UK and the update for that came out a week ago. I'm pretty sure have not put any rooms on
Hello guys, I have tried to find a clean ROM for my M8. By clean I mean that it is a stock ROM with all Sprint stuff removed.
Actually, I flashed the Bad boyz ROM, it is nice but i do not like much. The ROM which Im using is the GPE version.
I try to flash the stock ROM also but there is many Sprint stuffs that I dont need and because Im using GSM network so it always asking to convert to Global network any time I restart the device.
My question is: Is there any ROM that is like the M8 world version (Sense, no carrier stuff), unroot?
Thanks.

You can just remove the carrier stuff after installation. I kept getting "Hands free activation" popup but when I removed some apks, it worked just fine.
You can try switching the cdma mode to ruim only in dfs or something. That should help in not showing up the global mode popup.

Does removing all the carrier stuff lead to any issue then?. may I flash a stock world version on the M8 Sprint?
Hi guys, super excited just got an M9, I have been rocking a HTC EVO from Sprint for many years. I loved the phone and the custom rom I had made the phone last.
Anyways, just switched over to tmobile. Just got the phone. Wondering if it makes sense to download the RUU from htc and install marshmellow that way as opposed to hodge podge updates from tmobile? Also figured it would be bloat free.

RUU are the same as if you got it from the Store, bloat and all.
I would take the chance and S-OFF if you can/IF YOU WANT... This update might block S-OFF.
But personally I'm S-OFF and always go for the RUU. OTA tend to be bad downloads sometimes. And you have a fresh Marshmallow experience compared to a Lollipop to Marshmallow update which might carry over issues/bugs.
Thanks for the reply Tachi! So I should definately S off before going either route. Going to install TWRP. Any other recommendations before hand?
I thought if you used the stock htc RUU, that any bloatware from t-mobile would not be on there.

The RUU's are given to HTC after the carriers make their changes to them. Unless you convert to a Dev/European edition.. But then you'll still have some bloatware, just a small handful(<4ish).
Follow the typical S-OFF threads around here.... Other then that be cautious of what you do
Hello, Guy's I am trying to Port the new Marshmallow (2.27.651.6) from the sprint/Boost 626s Rom to MetroPCS but I need to know which files are for the MetroPCS Carrier to port it over so I can replace them into the Sprint ROM if anyone can help me out it would be amazing it's really just for a project I don't care if the update comes out before I finish but with your guys help I could get it done before the official update
is possible?

Depends on what changed with the mm update. Some phones it's as simple as removing carrier specific files. Others it requires flashing a new radio. You can see how far you get flashing my mm de bloated rom and skip the activation. Then you will need to enter your carrier specific info then trying to do a prl update.
So, is possible in a htc desire 626s 0pm9110 ? is unlock Carrier
You might have more luck porting from the new T-Mobile DE ROM, it's the same hardware (A32_UL, not A32_WHL) and uses GSM not CDMA, so it should be a simple port (it might not even really need "porting" since its the same device) But you could remove the carrier specific files to make a de-branded ROM if you wanted I suppose.
Hell, even the firmware from the T-Mobile DE update should still work on the TMOUS and Metro variants.

I don't know a haha, I just saw they were rolling out the OTA, so as soon as that happens, then it should be fairly easy.
sadly I cant figure out where every file is that I need to switch out and since I was hospitalized a about a week or two ago I had no time to work on it

It looks like you won't need to do it anyways. The update for Metro PCS will be coming out soon it seems.
And I hope you're feeling better.
