Yes. They're not even remotely the same phone. Some s/w components are common and devs might be able to re-use them but the radio, kernel, and graphics drivers are all totally different.
P.S. - Skip the fun fonts next time.

The international version is HSPA/HSPA+ and not sold in the North America. The LTE version is the One XL even though Rogers and AT&T dropped the "L" and is, for now, only being sold in Asia (including Australia) and North America and only through carriers in those countries that have LTE networks.
Here's a description of both phones from the HTC Asia site:

It was supposed to launch in Australia this month. It's been delayed due to shortages of the 28nm wafers Qualcomm needs to produce S4 chips.

Right now, the bootloader on the AT&T One X(L) isn't unlocked. Development can't really occur until that happens. The Rogers One X(L) is unlocked so there are some ROMs available for it. So if you have an AT&T device, keep checking the development forum for ROMs specific to your phone. And if you're not sure, ask in that ROM's thread before even attempting to install it. It's fun to experiment but being too adventurous will ultimately brick your phone.
Also, assuming the repair policy is the same in the U.S. as it is in the EU, unlocking the bootloader and installing custom ROMs will completely void your warranty. Just unlocking and rooting won't. So you may want to get some clarification once the AT&T device's bootloader is unlocked before you move forward.

Thanks and yea I hope they unlock the bootloader soon. But the thing I don't get is why they already have a few roms already when the bootloader is still locked. Does anyone know when it'll be unlocked?

I am looking into picking me up a new one x . Does this mean I should look into buying a bell version of one x if I want to put custom roms? I will buy off contract.

Since you're asking all these questions that are answered in multiple locations, I'm suggesting you don't do this because you probably don't know what you're doing.
That being said, if you want to roll your dice here ya go.

Yeah dude I wouldn't recommend just flashing your only phone. If you wanna start out doing it do what I did and start on an old android phone. Also, Rogers is a carrier in canada and I might be wrong but most roms that are rogers are not the same as an att rom. The radio will almost certainly be different.

well there's a post for att users that says u can convert your device to work with rogers roms?? does that mean if i did that. i'd be able to flash a rom here? i mean still kinda confused about this. thanks let me know without being a da

Hardware the same?

Besides the software programming are all HTC M8s the same? I've unlocked mine and soff wanted to flash a GSM ROM to convert it, would it be a true GSM phone? I'm just asking cause I believe the phone has a programmable radio and isn't locked into only CDMA but could be wrong. Thank you.

I have wondered the same, but I imagine the verizon m8 and the sprint m8 are the same hardware wise, and I think if you removed the cdma components then they may be the same as the at&t & tmobile versions. I seriously think like you it is the software that makes the carrier version, but the cdma part for verizon and sprint could be added hardware.
Overall I think the verizon and sprint versions could be completely carrier changed to at&t or tmobile.
There are guides on xda that tell how to unlock the other bands of gsm some report success and many report no success. Most of the posts are for people wanting to convert the verizon m8 to tmobile. A good amount report success but they say they have to toggle airplane mode quite a bit to force Lte connection.
I have seen a lot say when installing a rom such as viperone they chose to install it as the tmobile version and they report this helps.
Many keep asking can they flash the tmobile firmware to their verizon m8 and no one seems to know probably because their is a good possibility they will brick their verizon m8, so no one seems to be willing to chance it with good reason.
I think this subject is actually losing interest with devs because of the m9 due out in weeks, so honestly I would not expect to see anything done on this for the m8 unless its working on the m9 that they crack how to do it and find out it applies to the m8 in the process.
I really wanted to do this myself because I wanted to convert to a dev edition and get updates direct from htc and get to ditch all verizon software completely which would have been awesome

Well I have phone insurance and extended warranty so I don't care if I brick mine, I have been working on converting it to a GPE regardless. I'll let you know the outcome. Im looking forward to the M9 as well. I am still planning on keeping my droid turbo.

There are differences - in the the partition layout in the NANDs, so it's kind of risky to try it out. Every ROM, RUU, OTA, Firmware, Radio etc. you install have instructions for writing in particular partitions. And they are a lot, i've seen devices with 78 partitions. So that is the big stop i believe. As far as i know there's no other differences, i mean it's easier for HTC to differentiate the phones by making 3,4 or 5 versions with partition layout needed for carrier specs, than producing 5 or more SOCs. Hardware manufacturing is a costly process. So long story short 99,95% chance of brick.

i know that the board with the charging port on it is different for the Verizon version. i broke mine and it seems like all the part suppliers only have the gsm/sprint version. they all have the part labled with the H/K model number.

So what happened?

If your asking if i was able to get it repaired yet? The answer is no. I've still been unable to get a source for the part. everyone only has the one with only one antenna connection on it. Now the question i have is what dose that 2nd antenna do.

[Q]Does anyone know which variant is or is going to be the most mod-friendly?

I'm coming from a LG G3 were the mods were in overwhelming favor and support for the T-mobile version.
Just want to know if the carrier is going to matter if I'm someone interested in trying out roms

T-mobile usually don't lock down the bootloader. AT&T and Version both will be so locked down it will be months if at all before their variants will be mod-able.

Talking about US models? Sprint and T-Mobile bc they don't lock the bootloaders.

What would you personally prefer over T-mobile or Sprint?
Edit: I think its safe to asume that you prefer Sprint

I'm on a family plan, so it's not what I prefer, it's my parents haha. Sprint coverage sucks, BUT they're customer service is good, plus they don't lock the bootloaders. I've had Sprint since it was Nextel lol (15+yrs).

Related question, if I have a Verizon plan, can I buy a Sprint S6, easily unlock the sim-restriction (if there is one) and use my verizon SIM card?

With this chip it will be hard pressed for any to really be mod friendly

Didn't matter in the end. Sprint and Tmo wouldnt let me buy full-retail price of the phone without a plan

My only wish is that the S6 gets multirom (I don't know the reason why S5 didn't get it). It's a lifesaver.
Xposed will eventually be available, and root enables a number of other tweaks... but multirom. That's where I put my "prayers".

Depending on the model is depending on if the bootloader will get unlocked. Without that multirom is not an option.

Well... T-Mobile and Sprint vs come with unlocked bootloaders, right? And I believe the international vs will come the same way... that's how some people already got root in their S6, right?
With that, the first thing needed is a custom recovery and the patched kernel... that's where it might get tricky, for the exynos processor. If I'm not jumping to conclusions.

Does anyone know about the Canadian versions and their bootloaders?

Sometimes they do yes but no promises. It really all depends. As for recovery that will be up to the very few that still work on this chipset. Many of the bigger developers have walked away from Samsung because of their lies about this chip and the issues it causes with anything but touch wiz roms.

simple question, which factory image to flash?

I can't find any info on this so I thought I'd ask here, I have an unlocked Pixel that I bought from Google, and my company's carrier is Verizon.
Which factory image do I flash? In the case of 7.1.2 Nougat, do I flash the Verizon version (NHG47Q), or the unbranded one (NJH47F)? Also what's the difference? Does the Verizon version just come with a bunch of bloat? Do I need to flash the proper version for my carrier to get the appropriate radio settings?

Thanks guys

Ones for Verizon, the other is not. Also, Verizon doesn't use GSM, a lot of other carriers do.
Use Verizon if you have Verizon, otherwise it's not going to end up working very well for you. Might be an understatement.

Yep, can confirm. Hash of the radio image is different between the two, so it looks like that's where the difference is. Pixel was having trouble sending texts, and I was missing calls. Flashed the Verizon image and it's working much better. Thanks!

Unlocked My T-Mobile OP7p

Just talked my T-Mobile rep into unlocking my OP7 Pro.
Is there anything I can do with my phone now or do I have to wait for T-Mobile variant recovery, ROMs, etc. ?
BTW for those who are gonna ask i told my rep id be going away for 4-6months for work, and since i had been with them for 6 years the lady was nice enough to override the unlock.

You have to convert your phone to the international one so you can use custom ROMs, Kernels or anything else really. If you think you are savvy enough to convert your TMobile branded 7Pro, you you should look at the link below and still look at some more stuff on how to do this. I never have myself as I only buy unlocked phones not from carriers.
