[Q] other country rom on e8

Hello guys!
I am new to android world.I just bought this E8 from China and its the China Unicom version of E8 known as M8SW.There are many chinese apps on the phone and also it doesnt let me take cloud backup of the device as it asks for some chinese weibo account to sign in or create new account.The same phone has been launched in India and some other countries with the model code M8SD.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge,I am just curious can i flash indian or any other country rom like singapore on it which supports english as main default language.I dont wanna install custom rom on my phone and somehow wanna stay with stock rom but from some other country.
Also if i flash some other country rom on it would it be a problem with frquencies my current rom supports and frequencies what indian rom supports.i mean i dont want any hardware issue after i flash indian rom on to my e8.
After i flash indian rom would the ota updates happen or no.
Finally where I can get Indian stock rom for e8.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, i own also a HTC ONE E8 DUAL SIM (M8SW) with the China ROM on it. This ROM has not the Possibility to UPDATE the Android, is missing this Point in the options Menu. Could you tell me someone where ich can Download another Country ROM who works this OTA function?? Maybe INDIAN oder better another EUROPEAN version. SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP HERE?
THANKS

I would say you have to unlock bootloader (1), go s-off (2), change CID (3), flash international stock ROM and possibly lock the bootloader to get OTA updates. How it's done is explained in several threads here.
One of my own posts containing information on 1, 2 & 3:
I finaly managed to get dutch feeds in Blinkfeed.
What I did:
1. unlock the phone (see www.htcdev.com)
2. flash TWRP and rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-...luded-t2819571)
3. gain s-off (http://theroot.ninja/)
4. write Super CID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317536)
5. modify build.prop (you can find build.prop in "/system"). Set ro.product.locale.language=nl & ro.product.locale.region=NL (I found these records twice in build.prop and I changed both)
6. go to play store, remove Blinkfeed and then reinstall Blinkfeed.
I now have local news and/or feeds in dutch on my HTC One E8 (m8sw), you can probably get them in any language you like.

i have try to change the ro.product.language and region to en GB , but after reboot, it resumed to zh, CN ....
i just want to change the blinkfeed to hk or tw source..... any idea? ^_^

I'm pretty sure that you are still s-on then...
S-on prevents you from making changes to system.

any success?
Hello.. any success? I am also in same situation.. have M8SW, and need other country ROM.
So I can get local blinkfeed, and language support. Though I have changed language to English, some pop-ups still come in Chinese.. guess system related messages.. and default market is not google play, but gives option of either HTC market place /game center.. when I get reminders about app updates. So when I open Google play and then update apps from menu, it works fine.

it seems that it worked on my htc one e8 m8sw with lollypop

[Q] Europe stock RUU for HTC M8Sw (China Unicom)

Hi, I would like to replace the stock RUU on my HTC one M8Sw by a WWE stock RUU.
Custom ROM are not suitable as I need to have access to OTA and to use Worx home (for work emails)
My phone has currently:
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP
- Rooted
- S-off
I understand that I'd have to change the CID to match the new rom.
Is there such rom available? if so, is there a listing somewhere?

Would the above rom be suitable?
For info, I was able to install European rom on my previous HTC One M7 802W.
Thanks

what are the advantages over UniCom ROM?

Yes, I've came across your post but what would be the advantage over the UniCom ROM?
Have they NOT got all the bloatware in the ROM or what?
I am using the M8 DualSIM port but one of the reasons - apart form being dual SIM - I've upgraded from M7 is the camera and with the ported ROM the original camera app does not work with high resolution and Google Camera has somewhat reduced usability.
Also - according to your post - the India version seems to be an M8sS version instead M8sW? Has that any affect?
Thanks for your help

Indian rom is WWE Asia with dual Sim. This rom have multi Sim menu. Currently we don't have RUU yet for India rom so only by using TWRP Backup we can install Asia WWE rom with dual Sim menu on Unicom phone. Free from bloatware and you got great camera apps.
Since this only TWRP Backup, nothing change on firmware mean that phone firmware use your original Unicom.
If any OTA coming to be safe don't install it. Better ask other user to make another clean TWRP Backup and flash again on your phone.
This will reduce hard brick due to incompatibility between Unicom firmware and India firmware.

Thanks a lot mate I'll flash it tonight
I won't change my CID as I do not want OTA updates anyway.
Is it required to change MID?

install to m8st version . it's working good. i think.
thank you for reply

Good to see i'm not alone into the same sh*t...
The RUU given in this link is corrupted for M8sx, the .zip is corrupted, i tried to fix it with no chance.
I also tried BinDroid (which is not made for M8sx version) and it crash after some minutes. maybe because of modem/radio differences.
The twpr backup for M8sx also doesn't load with twrp versions for htc e8 m8sx, i tried each of them.

i have the same issue i ****ed up my stock rom and ther no rom works on my phone
i regret buying this phone

BlackVictor ported ROMS for HTC One E8

hi all,
1. sorry if this has been discussed.
2. there are some e8 roms, ported from m8 to e8 by BlackVictor.
3. These including ViperOne, MaximusHD, SoulROM, & SkyDragon.
4. Unfortunately, most are for e8 dual sim variant.
5. Any one of you have tested these ROMs? What is your experience with them?
6. You can find these ROMS at :
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=598273&st=0#entry33786133
Thank you

I'll try the skydragon rom today. Will get back to you as soon as posssible..
Hope all goes well.

Well tried the sky dragon rom and the viper rom... Sky dragon gives signal in second sim only while viper doesn't give a signal at all..
I'm on m8sd . Anybody have any solutions?

@alanjolly123
for skydragon, if you are using e8 single sim, you must install this patch. i am using skydragon rom on my m8sx single sim and it works perfect.

could you please how you use it
and what should i do step by step
becuase sky dragon is really good rom i mean this version SkyDragon | Sense 7 MarshMallow | v1.6.5 | 6.12.1540.4

I am downloading SkyDragon. I did not know anything about this roms.

SkyDragon Rom is not for HTC ONE E8. My phone is in hboot loop.

@melquisedec
1. Yes. Originally, SkyDragon ROM is only for M8.
2. However, BlackVictor did some modification & ported it to E8. That's why this topic is specifically for BlackVictor's ported ROM for M8 to E8.
3. You have to download the ported ROMS for E8 from the link I gave in the 1st post.
4. If you download the ROMs from their official websites, they are not for E8. They are unmodified ROMS for M8.
Please read & understand carefully to avoid bricking your device.
thank you

I use M8Sn Single SIM variant. Installed the ROM and used the Patch, stuck at HTC screen and can only access to power menu.

Hold LONG VolUp+Power to turn of when stuck.Then later try to get into recovery VolDown+Power (I can't believe that is no way to get into bootloader or RECOVERY - can't be bricked) Take "out" (using winrar) from zip file with ROM boot.img and flash it.That can help - I had like that with ViperOne for M7 and it helps. Good luck man. BTW - I am not taking any responsibility if something bad happen.

Restart several times, factory reset or wipe cache nd dalvik from recovery..Either of them will work.I've tried and once you get past the screen there won't be any problems.
Btw anybody know how to get signal on these roms for m8sd Indian version?
Have asked a number of times,but to no avail..!

Well, I passed the screen on all roms that have mentiones in this thread. Each and every one of them had data problem, I couldn't activate mobile data, or I could activate and it says "Disconnected". I tried everything, like changing APN manually and flashing radio etc., no luck.

I had flash SkyDragon Rom for E8 (m8sx)
the system ui is very smooth . However,i feel that the battery had a little drained
I have a question , the funnction " ok google" does not use

I also had flashed ViperOne e8 . it was very smooth.
the plug (xopsed+ intelli3g ) i also has installed. The battery had consumed was very well.
