is it possible to take a sprint m8 to att and have it be fully functional? if not is there and m8 projects subforum where i can get some ideas on some things to do with my now useless m8?
You can SIM unlock your phone for international use but not for use with another domestic carrier such as AT&T. As far as sub-forums, what you see is what you get. Feel free to check out the M8 development forums.

We know that there is more than one version of the htc one coming out soon, we have the international version and we have the ones coming on att, tmobile, and sprint, Telus etc
We also have the dev edition of the phone coming soon.
Is there gonna be different threads for the one, or is all roms compatible with all phones?

All roms should be compatible. All HTC One uses the same hardware(Other than the 64gb which should have different nand chip) but it doesn't matter.
Unless you will be using the chinese version which is rumored to have dual sim, 8mp, micro sd slot and alot more of different hardware components.
I'm saying this because I had an hox plus
The international version and the lte version had the same hardware and yet there roms where not compatible with each other

I highly doubt all roms will be compatible with all versions. There are hardware differences between international /US models, cdma/gsm models. There will be separate forums for each model. Be patient.
Does anybody else have any thoughts on this, I'm afraid if I buy the att version I won't get the internationals mods and roms

This. A rom can be set up to support multiple carriers and things like that, but it wouldn't be installed the same way for each phone

I wouldn't bet on separation. I'm a Hox+ owner and the dev section is a nightmare. International and US are together in one forum and nothing is compatible. Not roms or recoveries. There has been many requests to separate them and they were denied. Plenty of threads started about it and the majority ended up in flame wars. :crying:
Are the US models the same? Tmobile, ATT and Sprint? If so wouldn't that be a first? Cant be, Sprint doesn't use sim cards..
Who will get the best development though, if there are different version for each carrier? Would it be the international?

The gs3 forum is separated, I would like to guess the htc one forum would be too.

Yes the international will get the most support. at least that's how the One X and X+ worked out.

I hope so. Go browse through the One X+ dev section and pretend you have an ATT version. See how many roms and threads are irrelevant. Probably 80%

Each phone supports a different set of wireless data technologies and frequencies.
The unbranded/developer edition is most like the AT&T version.

go with att (1st choice) or Tmobile. not sprint unless you have to. development wise all ROMs are behind the curve for thawt one.

There's a very high chance you'll get the developer edition.
All the gsm models are identical except for the enabled frequencies.
tmo is the only one with 1700 aws
Dev has additional international freq, not incl 1700
If sticking in the US the tmo HTC one offers more flexibility. Since it offers both AT&T and Tmo 3G/LTR bands.
Only different with the Sprint and future Verizon models are the added CDMA radios. And partition layout

So if my cousin bought HTC ONE DEV EDITION from the web htc on usa
and he give me it to israel ,
its need to work reguler ? with not problem ?
I am looking at getting a M7 as a media player. I like the unlocked bootloader over the old S4 that I will end up selling. I dont go crazy with custom ROMs but id like a good fast ROM, maybe CM.
Question is, which is the best variant of the device for custom roms. specifically the sprint variant seems to be the cheapest because the lock out ESN often. is there any limitations to the sprint variations that mean i need to spend more?

You need to take a look at each variant to see which works best for you. Sprint & Verizon variants are CDMA and the rest are GSM. GSM phones are far more prevalent internationally than CDMA and are or can be easier to customize thus more options. Your call!

Im refering to mod-ability. I will not be using this as a phone so I dont care about the radio. Like for the G3, verizon has a locked bootloader but t-mobile is unlocked.
Is there an issue flashing CMDA roms to the sprint variant if phone is not needed?

You should only flash ROMs that are compatible with your variant. The CDMA phones have different partition tables than their GSM variants. This could cause the phone not to operate. So, if you have a Sprint phone then only put ROMs that are compatible with the Sprint variant. There is a separate forum for the Sprint & Verizon variants.

And you said there is more variety for the GSM versions. I can find sprint phones for $80, is there anything that justifies an extra $40 for a GSM variant?

I'm not a marketing guru but Sprint has limited coverage as a phone and limited support from custom tweakers, while the GSM phones are plentiful and can be used in more locations. Bottom line, if the it meets your needs then get the Sprint variant but should you need it as a phone down the line remember you have very limited options.
I found a sprint htc one m7 and i have a tmobil contract this htc is way better than my current phone i was wondering if its possible to root the htc and convert it to tmobil and put it on my plan. Ive tried googling igy and i cant find what i need can anyone help me out?

Sprint HTC One is a CDMA phone you can't convert it to t-mobile. I think you can unlock your phone for domestic gsm, look to this thread.

It's been a long time since I've tinkered with this phone, so I'd like to ask this. Support for m7spr seems to be diminishing on the Sprint HTC One subforum, so now that I'm starting to use this phone again I might as well ask.

No, the Sprint M7 have a different partition layout than the GSM M7. There are also a few roms compatible with the Sprint variant in the M7 Development forum.
