Hi All,
I own a HTC ONE E8 MEC_DWGL Dual Sim Indian model. I have flashed a custom rom to it and everything is working fine. But, I would like to know if there is a possible way to update the source from which the OS updates are made. I would technically like to download from the official website. Unfortunately I lost the backup of my stock ROM. Also, if possible, could you please share the stock rom, which I did not find anywhere on the web(Might be because of my poor googling skills:crying.
Thanks in advance.

There is no custom recovery for our phone. I hope that someone will be able to build one. I've got the Hong Kong version and flashed it with Taiwan rom because it was 10D and I had 10b.
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-g-pro-2-d838-v10e-firmware-rom.html you need to download the 16GB version.
you can flash it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I'm not responsible for any damage that you will cause to your phone.
Hi Sarvesh,
Even I am in need for the LG Indian version rom but its not available and hence I did not even root. If you install the Hong Kong version and need to go for the warranty repairs. LG CS will detect that the rom has been changed and hence will not give warranty. This is the only reason I have not rooted my phone yet.
guys is there a way to extract the rom from the phone directly. If yes, can you please guide me so that I can extract the rom and save it somewhere in the cloud so that everyone can benefit.
Regards,
Kailash
Hi Guys,
I dont see why you can't root your phones. You can always come back to stock using the LG Mobile Support tool. I had softbricked my phone a few weeks back and was able to restore my phone with stock LG ROM losing the root access.

Hi Sarvesh,
I kind thought of that but after rooting. So after changing a lot of ROMS and playing with the system i finally got a way out (just incase i need warranty) Can you send me a screenshot of your software version screen(Settings>About phone>Software information) ?
Here's what i tried.
1) Installed a custom rom
2) then installed a stock rom HKG version 10a
3) then i ran towelroot again to root the device
4) then edited build.prop file to edit information like build version, build number etc)
5) rebooted and saw the info. it worked. Then unrooted the phone.
IT WORKED > So basically i have stock rom which shows I have the Indian version
Please pm me the screenshot or send it here and i'll tell you every line that you need to edit. :good:

Hi Roy/Sarvesh,
Even I bought this phone in India and under Software Information i find the same details. One more thing I noticed, in Hard rest mode it shows in Korean language and not in English. Even, I need stock rom for India. Please help.

Hi Sarvesh,
Sorry for a delayed response, was out of connectivity areas. Looks like you have already installed a different stock. Because as far as i know the sotware version should have -IND-XX at the end.....However,
Once you have root, download and install the build.prop editor (you'll find it on google play)
Once done edit the following entries.
-ro.build.display.id =KOT49i.D83810d
- ro.lge.swversion= D83810d-IND-XX
(where 'd' is the version...fo it can be f as well. But keep both same)
That should make your ROM look like stock indian.
Then using supersu pro unroot the phone.

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

yes, you are correct, i find still s-on
i try firewater (free) but fail ... :crying: , anyway thank for your sharing :good:
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
Hi guys.I had an Xperia Z since yesterday,when i bought an AT&T LG G3.I'm from Romania and the man from whom I bought it got it from the USA.When I want to make the software update,it tells me that the latest version is installed.But the version i have is 4.4.2,and the latest is Lollipop...
So,is there a way to do the software update?I wouldn't like to install CM 12.1 because,from what i've read,it's full of bugs...
Thanks!

This has been asked a good amount of times in just a few days. No you cannot. You'd have to root , flash twrp, and then flash a rom that you'd want to use.

I searched the internet but i didn't found the answer.
Why?Only because i don't use an AT&T SIM?

Since you don't have att service in your country you have no option but root, flash tarp and flash the rom of your preference.

If you read the "Index" thread, you could find this, which is what I think you want: Stock Lollipop 5.0.1
Of course, official (nightly) for cm12.1 just came out. Find that yourself.

Hi,
I have HTC U11 dual SIM europe.
and have tested the Viper rom and the MaximusHD all work fine and also the Leedroid roms work very well.
Althoug I found a problem that my phone was always awake with the process A800000.ssusb (the thing cames and goes randomly)
found that the only rom for now that doesnt have this problem for me is the MaximusHD 3.1.0
maybe its a problem only with my phone.
anyway the 3 roms I indicated will work fine. Please notice that you must first be on Oreo 8.0.
good luck
Hi Everyone ?
Just signed up and new to this world. Recently purchased an Oppo Find X2 Pro only to realize it is the Chinese ROM, model PDEM30. Huge disappointment ???
I desperately need your help in either switching to the global ROM or a custom ROM that will help me get rid of the very irritating Chinese apps and allow me to use apps like Google's Find My Device.
Any help or your kind suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much ??
I will be the sad one to tell you as no one seems to want to do so: there's no way to switch to Global ROM on PDEM30 model
The only thing you can do is to get rid of some of the bloatware using ADB but the limitations of Chinese software will stay :/ This community has been trying so long to flash the Global ROM on the Chinese version... without success.
Well i managed to flash the BETA Android 11 on the Global Firmware, and i rollback to Android Q but with CPH2025PU version as the Beta is too laggy and it worked except now my sim card is not detected...
I will try when Oppo will release a new European Firmware
Thank you for your replies
Thank you very much to you both
Guess I will be selling this phone. Am very disappointed in Oppo for limiting their phones so much.
