So,I bought a Htc M8 from craigs and it came with sprint rom.I thought it was a sprint phone and used it for a month.Now i was just looking at the phone and i found out "model : 0P6B100" wriiten on the back bottom side of my HTC M8 .I searched and found out that it is a Europe unlocked version, which is pretty great but in my bootloader it shows "m8_Mhl "
Can bootloader be changed from "m8_u" to "m8_whl" ??
Can gsm phones run sprint rom ?
I am so confused seriously! Can someone sort it out please??

If it is s-off it can be changed to pretty much anything. Did you put a Sprint sim card in it? If it runs and gets signal, then yes it works.
Also, if it is s-off it can also run any rom, whether or not it works on Sprint is up to you to find out and report back. It looks like someone thought it would run, maybe it won't and that's why they sold it. Check out the regular M8 thread, there may be someone reporting something there, also that would be a good place to ask this question since it is the WW device.

It runs sprint rom perfectly.Should i flash RUU of "0P6B1000" on it ? It shouldn't be a problem because the model number is written on the phone itself ( One can't change that !) .Idon't have a sprint sim card.Is there any way to check if it is a cdma or gsm ? coz pretty much everythin in "getvar all" is changed

What does it mean if you don't have s-off or s-on?
what I flashed:
1.)eng-spl (for the 1.47 hboot)
At this point I try to activate the phone for an addition line. Sprint said they couldn't as it and been put on another provider and if i could get it to stock it would be fine. this is when i try to undo what i had done.
2.)unrevoked
3.)unrevoked-forever
4.)stock-hboot (to flash back to the 1.41 hboot)
but after I flashed back to 1.41 there is no s-off or on.
So I am not sure what to do at this point.

so are you just trying activate the phone on sprint? if so you dont have to undo anything. you just have to flash a one of the older sense based Roms, and they can then activate it for you.. it just cant be activated from cyanogen or aosp based stuff..
EDIT: did you actually have it on another carrier???
if u had it on another carrier sprint will not activate thats the draw back with cdma phones once the esn number has been activated its very hard to get another carrier to reactivate it.

The HERO was my phone before I got my evo (and into rooting and flashing) and has been on no other carriers. My little bro was getting a line on my plan and when i took it up there the sprint chick said she couldnt activate because it had been on another carrier.
I just ran an old RUU .5 and the s-off is now appearing again. Do they check for that at the store?

It was the stock rom. It wasn't even rooted at that point the only thing i had run was the hboot update to 1.47(eng-spl i think it's been so long) as I was thinking of rooting it but never took the steps.
would transferring the phone online work ? Would she have flaged it in anyway in the system?

i literally 5 days ago activated a hero on my friends account online that was rooted and was s-off.. i just had to put a sense rom on it.. had no issues what so ever.. i doubt that the sprint equipment would pick up on it, because they just activate it online anyway.. if they give you trouble again, do it online, and if that is giving you problems just call them from another phone and they can do it over the phone.. i never go in to the sprint store unless i have to.. they are usually idiots (sorry to anyone who may work for sprint on here), at least at my sprint stores..

i buy this phone from china and it shows me that error every time i turn it on.
first its comes with out the google store or any other google apps :/

some technikal info i have =>
HTC ONE M7
android 4.4.3
htc 6.0
htc sdk api level 6.25
pi 4.38_003

is there any chance that i can install a "normal" android virsion on this phone ? or its a real developers device that not designed for "normal users"
thanks a lot !
Since you bought this from China, I wanted to ask if you are sure this is a genuine device (an actual HTC One and not an HDC One knock off)?
i think so

its look, feel and works like the real thing.
is there any other way to know ?
if i look at settings->phone id ->
i have serial nomber of the device and so on..
IMEI , MEID , etc
The HDC One has a removable back cover. The HTC One does not.

Either way, what you are seeing on boot is a result of the firmware installed on your phone. Tell me, do you know whether your phone is s off or not?
for my lucky , its not removable so it is real.
about the s off question i cant answer you because i dont know how to, sorry

I've seen one or two other Sprint phones with 7.xx firmware recently. Threw me to I googled it and it appears to be legit also. It is odd about the hboot though. Come to think of it I don't remember what hboot the other sprint's had. I see if I can find the threads.

There are more than 2 Versions of the HTC one. Yours is Sprint M7_wls and although the Hardware is basically the same. The Sprint has a different partition structure to the more popular International M7_ul also Sprint uses a CDMA network where as International uses GSM network.
Your new OS version with hboot 1.55 seem's to be normal and nothing to worry about. It appears strange though as we were only aware of GPE phones getting a lollipop update. Since the latest update before lollipop has firmware number 6.xx with hboot 1.57 we kind of expected lollipop to be on 7.xx with hboot 1.58. But for some reason it appears Sprint has gone back to 1.55. It will be interesting to see if other variants go the same way.
The fact your device is s-off is a good thing, there's not much you can't do with s-off. As long as your only using Sprint software ( Rom's, RUU's and Recoveries) Your'll be fine.
You'll find the Sprint Forums here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one.
Did you buy it from ebay it's not the first time I've heard of devices from china coming with s-off when purchased from ebay.

thanks for the explanation Danny, actually i bought it from aliexpress.
I took in the calculation that something can goes wrong with them, as usual
if you have more necessary information u think i should read about it would be fantastic!

at the moment i get to the recovery screen the touch stop working thats mean I can not click on anything

I have bought the same phone off from aliexpress 11.11 sales!
It has arrived today to Hungary.
A chinese SOUL TEAM rom was installed on it. I would like to go on with a stock rom. Which one to go for?
I have checked the phone's version by IMEI and i was told its an 801e variant: i.imgur com/69yw3hG.png
SN: FA34AS902336
But i have an other problem with it: it does not recognize the SIM card. No PIN check nor signal, altough when I remove the sim card when the phone is on I recieve an error that the sim card removed. Tried it with 2 SIMs already.
So I'm not so sure about its a Sprint version. Did u successfully flash a Sprint ROM on it already?

Just to correct you, the red text shows once your bootloader is unlocked and a non-stock boot is installed, if I remember rightly it was said to be triggered by CRC check &/or Signature check, shows same text way back on hTC Desire C as well

lol maybe that was the case for the Desire C. But i assure you 100% The red developer warning on boot of a HTC One M7 is caused by the device being switched to s-off.

are you talking about the HTC one M8 in your signature ?
if so, 401 WWE (generic) are already unlocked, if that is the original firmware, if not, you need to have stock rom on the phone to unlock it.
I have a Vodafone M7 sat by me which came with 401 firmware on it rather than the Vodafone branded firmware which is already unlocked, and the same goes for my virgin mobile M8 sat by me, 401 firmware, already unlocked.

Hi XDAs, am quite new to this forum but i need your help.
I bought my HTC M7 as used phone in Nigeria, everything seem perfect but I cant connect to any local radio. So I did a manual update to Lollipop 6.0 and HTC sense 6.0. After the update the phone
boots to Sprint and says "INVALID CARD". We don't have Sprint in Nigeria so am kind of stucked. I tried a few people i know that do unlock phone but they couldn't help.
My phone dont prompt for the unlock code, and *#60# don't display my IMEI, bbut in the setting the IMEI number starts with 99000. Please help!

The sprint HTC One is a CDMA phone, not GSM. Thats why its easy to buy one for really cheap, no one wants them These phones can still work on GSM network for roaming purpose. It can be unlocked so you can use it on your local gsm provider but don't expect to get LTE, you'll probably get gsm/3g only.

So I am under the impression reading around on here that even if I SIM unlock a sprint M8 and try to use on T-Mobile' network it wont work. Or maybe to be more exact it doesn't get 4G ect, and will be super limited. Well someone told me that is because of the ROM being carrier apecific and since they M8 is the same for all carriers you can flash a T-Mobile ROM on a Sprint M8 and it will work just fine. Is there any truth to this?

No it is not. You can only use cross variant stock roms if you have super cid and s-off too. Still i would suggest you to look for more clear answer but as far as i know if the cid and mid of your phone doesnt match with the software version you want to flash it wont do any good.
It's my understanding that you must use a Sprint compatible ROM, even if you are Super CID and SIM unlock for use on another carrier.

Never do that .. Even though you can flash tmobile rom on sprint , BUT NEVER FLASH A RUU . flashing a gsm ruu on cdma device will brick your phone .
Flashing t mobile rom doesn't unlock it or make it work with tmobile .
AFAIK Domestic sim unlocking is not possible for sprint variant.
