Got my hands on a Sprint M8, tried messing around with it, almost bricked it but got it up and running on Stock 6.20.651.3, rooted and S-OFF.
I read this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...uide-how-to-flash-international-roms-t3098427
It involves flashing an International ROM, followed by a kernel with multi-variant support, I found a few kernels that support International and Sprint, however they are for Lollipop/Sense 6.0 ROMs, would these kernels work with Sense 7/Android 6.0 ROMs?
Need some help here, I don't use the CDMA function on my device, since I am on a GSM carrier, so having an International custom ROM would be nice.

I am thinking of getting the HTC One for tmobile. Will I be able to flash a rom even if it is not specifically created for the tmobile version? Also, I guess the same question for root as well. Thanks a lot

In the Sprint HTC One section for original android development there are very few roms and even fewer that are working properly. I see so many more roms and more functional roms in the main non-carrier specific original android development section. I've tried flashing the pacman rom and it did not work. I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow find a way to flash it or at the very least for someone to give me instructions on how to port it to my carrier (Sprint). Thank You.
As detailed in Q14 of the HTC One FAQ (in my signature), ROMs from the other One forums may not work on the Sprint variant. That's because Sprint is CDMA and the other variants are not - meaning they're not compatible.
EDIT - You can also view the following thread to see which ROMs are compatible - Tons of compatible ROMs over in International HTC One Forum
I'm not sure in regards to your question about porting so you'll need to wait for someone who will be able to answer that better

It will be possible to install a GSM ROM HTC One, to avoid having to be changed to GSM mode in Sprint HTC One?
I don't want to brick my device, I wonder what happen if I flash a GSM Stock Rom in this sprint HTC One

Your question is not very clear, but if I understand well you wan't to install a GSM ROM on a Sprint model.
The answer is NO, but there are some ROMs in HTC international forum which have added Sprint support like Viper, Insertcoin, Elegancia, ARHD.
If you flash a non compatible ROM you'll brick your phone, cause you'll mess up the partitions, kernel. In that case it's a pain and you'd have to flash a ruu in order to get it working again

Post above is correct. User however appears to want to use a GSM ROM thinking that it will prevent the annoyance of using the Sprint HTC One on a GSM network requiring that you constantly switch the network mode to GSM/UTMS.
Sorry, don't think it's feasible at this time though.
Hey guys, new to the forum and have a question and was hoping you guys could help.
Phone: HTC One m7
Rom: Stock 4.4.2
Network: Telus (Canada)
I want to for the first time flash a custom rom and really like the liquid smooth rom. My question is, I dont know which htc one rom for liquid smooth to flash that is compatible with telus. The optitions are: Sprint, Verizon, and Unified GSM. Futhermore, my phone is not unlocked to all carriers so would i have to do that to make it work with my sim?
Also does liquid smooth have a built in update feature or would i have to keep flashing new roms every time they release a new update? Anyone have experience with liquidsmooth on the m7?
Thanks!
i have an unlocked 920t (t-mobile) on att network. should i be using the att section for rooting and roms?
No. Roms are based on your phone model. Stick to the TMobile forums. I know with the S4 the international roms are generally compatible as well so you may check in the General S6 forums, too. Most custom roms list which models are compatible in the OP.
Besides, you won't find much here since the att phones have locked bootloader and no root currently.
great, thanks.
