Look on your phone manufacturer's tech support page as many of them maintain their own copies of officially released ROMs.
Use Google to search for it?
Look in the forum for your device?

+1. In the Android Development section, you can find a couple of threads with HTC RUUs.

According article in androidbeats dot in (sorry not allowed to post links) we can do a manual upgrade to the asian version of JB.
Will this work for me having a s-on and bootloader unlocked htc-one x?
Thnx
the article is self explanatory:
"This tutorial is only for HTC one X (HTC-6.1) on ROM x.xx. 709.X .You are advice not to try this tutorial on any other variant"
You need to be that specific CID and have that software version..otherwise..forget it..

Hello,
you can find a sticked subject in Dev section about that. You will find links to RUUs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140967
So, I just wrote to the HTCDev Support via incident number: 14INCW48ENA000212 (for anyone who can help, just for reference)
My first message to them (23-Nov-2014):
Hi, I wanted to get the kernel sources for HTC One E8 (M8sd) India version. I am aware of the risks associated with unlocking the bootloader of my device and rooting. I am assisting some clients in development of a custom OS and therefore required the kernel sources for this. I am aware that this is not recommended by HTC. I am a developer and am well aware of the risks. Please help. Thanks

My reply (24-Nov-2014):
Isn't HTC required to share the source code to comply with the Linux kernel's license?

Thank you for replying back to us. This is in continuation to our previous correspondence. We value the importance of your concern. We request you to visit the HTC Dev website for further assistance. As we do not recommend our HTC customers to convert or root the device as doing so voids the warranty of the device and also it may cause hardware to malfunction. We do not provide support for rooting and unlocking the boot loader. We value your time and patience.

It is so disappointing that the support people sitting with HTC are so dumb that they just copy paste replies rather than escalating properly and actually working towards answering someone's questions. Nowhere have I mentioned that I wished to root the device, yet that is all they seem to be talking about.
How has your experience been when dealing with these idiots?

This is appalling! There is absolutely no love for the E8.
Now I feel like a nut for buying this phone. mmmm.. Donuts!
Hey there!! i just checked htcdev website and saw kernels available. This phone is also known as HTC One M8 Ace.. You can find the kernel for M8_Ace on htcdev, asia specific aswell!! I'm pretty sure that it is one E8 only..because there is no m8_Ace model available in india.. in china e8 is known as m8_ace .. Hope this helps
Hello guys. I want to ask can we flash a M8 rom to E8?
They both have the same hardwares on them. So is it possible?

No. Not without certain tweaks anyway, because their model numbers etc differ. And also the camera module is different. They don't have exactly similar hardware.

Yeeah you are right. But the developers can build the roms based on M8 easily right?

I'm not a developer to comment on that. But yes I guess so. Only problem is we don't have many developers for this phone due to it's small reach.

Do you know, what needs to be adjusted?
I would love to see a custom rom for my E8 (M8Sn) and cannot find anyone who is able to help me.
It is the singleSIM version from Germany.

Unfortunately I don't. There are a few people on our forums here, CaptainThrowback and DutchDanny. They are familiar with development. Try asking them. Or contact a dev from M8 forums and ask instead, if they are free enough, they might guide you.
I'm trying to build miui 8 for e8 ? watch out!
so easy
Are we supposed to use this forum for u11 life from T-Mobile as well as Android one version? Or do we get a subsection in here.

A lot of times I have seen a single forum section for a device, but users would just specify the model/operator of the phone in the thread's title or description. So we should be good in posting here for both models(just my theory)

Unlocked my tmobile u11 life bootloader now I just need a recovery!
Give it time there will be one. The HTC devices from my experience have a very tight knit development community.
I am hoping that you can flash Android one software once TWRP is created. Kinda like the m8
