Verizon m8 on T-Mobile wifi calling - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Just bought a Verizon m8 and I'm looking for a rom that will allow me to use it with T-Mobile and it's wifi calling. Anybody know if there is such an animal? It is rooted, S-off and super Cid. Would also be nice if media link HD worked. thanks in advance.

Venom rom with tweaks during install. I'm currently writing up a how to, but basically you change your mid to tmobile and copy a boot.img into the venom rom 5.0.2.
Now, if you're currently not on MM, you will have to update your radio firmware.
A word of caution, the data will be unreliable on MM until you configure up bands with DFS. Essentially if you are moving around between data types, you may lock up your data and require a quick airplane mode on/off to get data back.
You may be able to accomplish my workaround with the lollipop version of venom, haven't tested.

Does Rogers have wifi hotspot enabled

Hi all - loving this phone.
I am on Rogers.
Silly me but just as I got the phone i rooted,, updated the radio and the newer AT&T ROM, etc. Without checking out what features Rogers enbled. When I try to enable the wifi hotspot after making all those changes i get a system error.
Is wifi hotspot enabled in Rogers?. If so does anyone know how enabled it or what custom ROM to install to make it work?
Thanks
No it is broken on mine too.
Need the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/database.db file from a Rogers RUU or ROM.
If we had that it would work I think.

Rogers One X on AT&T - LTE Trouble

I ordered an unlocked Rogers HTC One X to use on at&t, which I received yesterday (Wednesday). When I got the device, I inserted my SIM card, added the "at&t pta" APN (which I found here on XDA) and connected just fine to at&t's LTE network. No troubles through the rest of the day.
This morning (Thursday), I noticed I only had "4G" signal, i.e. not connected to LTE. I checked in the mobile data settings, under Network Mode, and saw that the GSM/WCDMA auto was checked. I switched that over to the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, LTE showed up in the status bar, but I had zero data connection. This has been the case all day today. The LTE symbol is there, but only the Up arrow blinks between white and black; the Down arrow does not light up at all, so no data on LTE.
- HSPA data works fine
- my at&t plan is definitely provisioned for LTE (I've been using a couple of other LTE devices in the last few months with no trouble)
- LTE data definitely worked yesterday (speedtest showed over 15mbps down and 11 up)
- I did put my SIM card back into my Galaxy Nexus for a couple of hours last night before putting it back into the One X (I'm thinking this is somehow related, but can't figure out)
- I've tried a couple other at&t APN settings (Cingular wap - fine for 3G data, but no LTE, 'Phone', again fine for 3G data, no LTE)
- My SIM card is indeed a micro-SIM and is only a couple of months old, at most
Any ideas? I'm pretty much out of ways to troubleshoot at this point, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I think there is a specific AT&T APN that you need to plug in to get LTE enabled. Did you make sure your SIM is LTE compatible? Are you running the stock Rogers ROM or did you install a custom ROM? Is your bootloader unlocked? Have you tried updating the radio to AT&T default radio?
Just wanted to knock some of those questions out there.
I think the AT&T PTA APN is the LTE setting that's out there. I haven't come across any others.
I'm completely stock (it is a Rogers rom), haven't yet rooted or unlocked the bootloader or anything like that. Nothing has been flashed.
Actually, I just realized I ran the software update last night before bed, which put me on software version 1.94.631.3. Android version 4.0.3, Sense 4.0. Now I'm willing to bet this is the cause of my trouble. But HSPA working and LTE not working is still puzzling.
I wonder if it's the radio version not being 100% compatible. Are you willing to unlocking and flashing a custom Rom based on an at&t Rom? That could rule out a software issue assuming your apn settings are good.
I have the Telus version and had lte issues until just recently on CleanROM.

I was thinking about going through the unlocking/flashing process this weekend actually, as I'm pretty sure there is an issue with the radio like you said.
Just need to find some good tutorials to get me started.
Thanks!
Check out the guide I have in my signature. It's for the Telus variant, but the Spoof-CID would work with the Rogers version as well. Also, the Rogers version is, by default, unlockable though HTCDev.com so you're good there. The step by step instructions on HTCDev is pretty straightforward, but having a tool like the Spoof-CID program helps in getting the required information sooner.
Definitely read up on it and ask as many questions as possible. Good luck!
Great, I'll check out your link.
Thanks for the help.
So I managed to get LTE working!
I figured I would at least flash a different radio.
- Started out with the htcdev.com unlock method, which was pretty much painless.
- Used the method in Athrun88's signature to get TWRP flashed over to the One X
- Downloaded (and flashed) one of the CM10 nightlies
- Downloaded (and flashed) the AT&T 1.85 radio file
- Dialed *#*#INFO#*#* from the deviced and selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto network mode
- Got LTE!
Flashing CM10 might not have been completely necessary of course, but I couldn't resist, and it's been pretty great so far.
Make sure you go and knock out the superCID hack too. That way when things go wrong, u can use the 1.85 at&t ruu and skip all that in the future:beer:
Hi SBA1226
Thanks for sharing. I had the same problem after doing the Rogers update and thought the At&t LTE service was out in my area.
I had flashing experience with my gnex, but never dealt with HTC phone. What exactly is that Spoof-CID.bat procedure as described in Athrun88's guide? Was that the guide that you follow? Would really appreciate if someone can point me to a step-by-step (maybe with picture ) guide.
Another question I have is do you loose functionality like wifi hotspot or media link HD when you flash custom rom like CM10 or cleanrom 4.5 DE?
Thanks.
I did not use the spoof-CID in Athrun88's guide, but I did use the rest of the guide to get TWRP recovery flashed to my One X.
You'll want to start out by going to the htcdev.com site, registering, and following the step by step instructions there to get your bootloader unlocked. They make it really easy to complete.
Once this is done, you should still be in fast boot mode, so just follow Athrun88's guide to flash TWRP, and you're on your way to flashing ROMs.
I can't speak for CleanROM, but I've had no issues with wifi tethering in CM10.
Also, there are quite a few guides on YouTube that I found really helpful.
Good luck!
Thanks. I will try it this weekend.
By the way, is there a simple way to back to stock? Thanks.
I was in the same situation with a Rogers One XL, no LTE on CM10, and here's what I have done so far to get LTE working, though I'm not quite done.
1. RUU back to 1.94 Rogers (from this thread): http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/sho...X-XL-LTE-RUU-s
2. Unlocked the bootloader using the official process, flashed TWRP
3. Flashed the stock rooted 1.85 ATT ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
4. Flashed the ATT 1.85 firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694012
I had LTE now.I then flashed to ATT 2.20 ROM & FW (not RUU) and LTE still worked.
I assume it was a RIL/FW compatibility/requirement for ATT LTE, so going to CM10 should work, but I have not tried.
Hope that helps some.

[Q] Custom ROMs/install guides for XT1028?

After months of being stuck on my Verizon Moto G with a locked bootloader, I finally managed to obtain freedom via the recent update to the SunShine app from jcase. My phone was having some issues prior to unlocking, and it took me several hours of labor and installing/reinstalling things to finally get TWRP and any ROM going properly. I've worked with Android tablets and custom ROMs before, but this is my first time on a Verizon phone.
I managed to get the N5X ROM installed and running, but I couldn't seem to resolve issues with data/mms, which I presume are APN related; trying to enter new APN settings in that ROM wouldn't save for whatever reason, either. For now, I'm back on an optimized stock 4.4.4 image until I can get that figured out.
My question: Is there any list of custom ROMs that do specifically work with a Verizon CDMA/XT1028 Moto G? Does anyone have a guide to getting these ROMs working on Verizon prepaid service, including any APN adjustments that need to be made? Thanks.
Followup: Still trying to figure this out, but the N5X ROM will give me working data if I enable Data Roaming. I've attempted to update the PRL for Verizon via *228, but the phone status still shows as roaming even though my PRL has been updated, displaying my network as T-CDMA 64. Is this simply an issue with my phone not properly identifying roaming/non-roaming due to the custom ROM? Verizon has the best coverage in my area, so I want to make sure it is connecting to the proper towers (and I'm not ACTUALLY roaming). Thanks.

Verizon M8 unlocked w/ TMO sim, same flash process?

Hello, just upgraded from a Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile to an unlocked Verizon HTC One M8 handset. Popped in the sim, I can send and receive text, data on HSPA/3G mode but not one LTE or Global mode (anyone know why this is? I'd like to be able to use t-mobiles LTE and not just HSPA/3G), get the usual "sim unknown source" stuff. I am wanting to flash Skydragon.
My question, is there anything special I need to do before/after I flash these, since I'm using a different network than what the handset was originally supposed to be on? Maybe I need to flash different radio? This is my first time using an unlocked phone, previously all my phones with custom ROMs were on the same network as the handset variant.
Otherwise, would I just update to the latest 5.0.1 OTA update from Verizon, root/unlock bootloader, install TWRP, then flash Skydragon, and I'm all good?
Edit: Well, further reading seems to indicate to me that it turns out verizon M8 devices already updated to 5.0.x are still not able to be rooted at this time?
Thanks for the help

sm-n920p rooted

Has anyone found a solution for the missing hotspot option in the settings, I am on metropcs(for now) so with that being said I have the MLS # and adding dun to the apn didn't help. I am rooted running a MOAR rom, I even tried editing the database file like suggested. Is there a rom that takes care of this or am I selling my new used phone?
Use a custom ROM to get the Hotspot. Go to the Sprint area and search for the Teleteam ROMs. There is a CDMA and GSM version, use the correct for your carrier network.
____
FYI: You MAY need to do a domestic unlock with octoplus box to get the hotspot.
Thanks, i tried a couple different roms, last night i loaded the Teleteam s8 oreo and that did the trick.
