Hi i own a M7_U on hboot 5.56 and have the most crapiest company on south america so we never recive updates at all regardless of your phone model. the thing is that i've found that there is currently no way to go S-off with my Hboot version so i am wondering what are my options for installing a custom rom. or will i have to sit and wait on a rooted phone and unlocked bootloader for some OTA that will never come for my carrier? XD Pls help T_T

Some days ago I flashed the UK WWE ruu to my device to get ota updates, I am in south america and just realized that the radio for europe is not the same i use in my country. Now I have 2 questions: does this new ruu change the GSM frequencies?, right now my phone is RELOCKED and S-OFF with HBOOTH 1.54.0000, can I flash a new ruu? if so, what is needed.

what do you mean? Now your phone doesn't connect to your carrier antenna? I did the same thing of you, i was HTC_332 on .599 soft and switched to HTC_001 .401 soft and everything working fine, I can connect to HSPA and 3g networks here in canada

From what ive read before, no.
Modem freq is hardware related.

Yes you are s-off you can change your cid and mid to match any ruu for M7_U and M7_UL variant
You have a M7_U running a M7_UL rom. mayby you want to reinstall a M7_U RUU? Im not sure if it will solve your issue.
I'll says just wait for someone to confirm what ive said, im not sure.

Thanks for reply, I am having some issues with my 3g connection and though that the reason is because the frequencies for 3g in europe are 900 and 1800 Mhz; here in my country the carriers use 850 and 1900 Mhz; I am not really sure if that is the reason and don´t want to make any new change to my phone without confirmation; I am really happy with the current condition of my phone and haven´t have any problem runing an UL ruu on an U device
how was you even able to even flash the wrong ruu it will normally stop this from happening

I'm on Vodafone UK. The update got delayed by 2 weeks and only just got released a few days ago. I have tried checking for the update on my HTC but no luck. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone in the past and it is no longer rooted but still has an unlocked bootloader. Could this be why I can't update?the software number is 2.17.401.1 if that helps
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
bootloader does not need to be locked to receive ota,but you need to be on stock rom and stock recovery
sent from my s-off 801n M7_UL

Hello everyone ,
I got a HTC one m8 (sprint) from US and I want to use it in Chile. It was previously android 4.4.4 and I updated to 5.01 lollipop (directly from the phone). I'll try to be clear.
My Target: Unlock the SIM and locked bands to use it in my network (movistar) witch works on 850 and 1900 Mhz Bands GSM. : (I now if it work on AT&T it will work for me also)
I saw several tutorials to sim unlock M8 Sprint running 4.4.4 but nothing with lollipop 5.01. Is it that possible nowdays? if is so, can you please provide the link?
If is it not, how can I come back to android 4.4.4 if I am S-ON? I tried RUU .exe files, but they didn't work.
I also try to S-OFF with sunshine and firewater but both fails (looks like they don't support android 5.01).
I tried to unlock the Bands with QPST but I can only see 800Mhz, 1900Mhz and US Bands to choose.
I have my phone rooted with TWRP.
I have spent a lot of days trying to do it by myself but I realize that I definetely need your help!
Please help me !

I tried another method and it work:
1.- I had to S-OFF my device with lastest Sunshine App Version 3.0.12 (you can get it fromHERE)
2.- Then I had to go back to the stock android kitkat rom 4.4.4 with a RUU ROM
"RUU_M8_WHL_K444_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.31.651.2_Radio_1.08.20.0916_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_403241_signed_2.exe"
3.- Just then I could unlock all the bands following the instructions HERE
I hope this can help someone else :good:

Did you lock the bootloader when you ran the RUU im contemplating doing the same im simlocked but unlocked via sunshine running a custom rom. I'm sure you did but to be sure, when you went back to 4.4.4 you had to run sunshine again correct?

When I had the RUU rom installed, everything was back to stock but my phone still was S-off (So you don't need to pay twice ).
Then you just have to follow the instructions HERE and you will have finally your sim unlocked.
When you finish, you can install any custom rom ( I tried BadBoyz and Viper) and everything will work fine :good:
I hope this can help you!

***LOCKED*** is for locked bootloader not related to sim-unlock or carrier unlocked if you prefer.
If you want to know if your phone is sim-unlocked, simply insert a foreign sim card and check if its working. If its prompting you to enter an unlock code, then your sim is locked and will require and unlock code.
Difference explained here
Bootloader unlocking...

Are you receiving any notification for an ota update? Afaik, Dual sim variants of the M7 should only receive lollipop update in Q3 2015...
No OTA Updates
No i am not getting any OTA updates and i'm not able to update from the present android version...But i got the mobile with SUPERSU app installed in it...It is a dual sim device.
I have just bought a used HTC one M7 Uk version locked to Three Network (uk). The phone has Cyanogenmod ROM installed. I purchased a network unlocking code but phone said network unlock unsuccessful. I read that in order to unlock network, I should be on stock rom. Now I have no idea which RUU to use and whats the procedure. I really have no time to read threads as I am going to holidays and i need the phone unlocked so would appreciate if some one can post detailed guide here and links to RUU to download.
when I pressed power and vol down button, it shows the following:
RELOCKED
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID 0 GOOGL001
HBOOT-1.54.0000

please help. Thanks
reply anyone please?>
is there anybody who can help?
you want it back to stock GPE or stock Sense? Do you know what was to original CID and MID?
