Hoping someone could explain or help me out a bit. I have AT&T HTC One X Plus and I was researching unlocking, rooting and installing JB OS w/ sense 5. I was able to successfully unlock and root the device, also installed TWRP for flashing. I originally was looking at installing Android revolution but can't seem to figure out which to install, etc. Then it seemed to me that you could not install Android Revolution on ATT version of htc one x plus so I looked into Cynogen mod 10 and it looks like that would work but flashing the zips seem to fail. If someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thanks for the help!
i have the tagged and branded verizon version cuz i had no choice but did someone ever extract the htc one unlocked rom so i can flash it and get the htc one m8 rom experience without the bad Verizon experience? i looked through the roms a little bit and asked google but couldnt find anything that seemed to be just a straight pull from the original m8

Look again. I don't know if you mean a ROM like the Google Play edition, or the M8 with all the HTC stuff, but minus the Verizon bloat. Either way, there are several of the latter, and one (at least) of the former).

I have a HTC One m7 and I run Paranoid Android 4.4 (final). Can I use any kernel suiting for my phone with that ROM?
I would like to use the ElementalX kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249774
Sadly I can only find versions 4.3 and 4.2 GPE and Sense and such. Can still use them with my 4.4-Rom? And I don't know what variant of the HTC One m7 I have... I didnt by it from Google, Sprint, Verizon or something, just a normal one from the store next to me. Is it the "Sense"-Variant then?
nope
No, never try to do that or h you would brick up your device.
I have a quick question about the Verizon variant of the HTC One M8. I just received my HTC One from Verizon. I quickly set to rooting and gaining S-Off. I was able to use Firewater and Weaksauce to gain root and S-Off really easily. Now, I am looking into flashing a different ROM, and here is where I am getting confused. I am wanting to use an AOSP ROM. However, there are very few AOSP builds in the Verizon HTC One forum. I did a bit of digging and I found that Cyanogenmod merged their releases into one device, uniquely named m8. So, my question: Will ROMs developed for just the HTC One M8 work for my Verizon M8? I don't want to flash a ROM and end up screwing something up (of course, I have made a stock rooted backup, but knowing my luck, something will happen and I will be SOL).

It MUST say that it is compatible. Some roms say "for all variants" which means all versions of the phone.

Wow, you're quite lucky to gain Firewater with a brand new device this late after it being fixed on new M8's. To answer your question, not all ROM's developed for the non carrier M8 will work on the carrier M8's (Verizon in this case), some will such as Cyanogenmod but not all. Usually the developers will say whether or not your carrier version (Once more, Verizon in this case) is compatible with their ROM, sometimes they don't but you can almost always find out by reading further into the thread as almost always someone else has asked. Oh and thank you's to @Quadrider10 for this part here(about it saying it's compatible), usually if it doesn't say it is compatible then it isn't but as I said you can always confirm it via replies to the thread or asking yourself.
Onto Cyanogenmod in specific, yes it will work perfectly on your device. I've personally tried it myself and honestly it is quite stable to be a "nightly". Anyways yeah it works and you'll be fine, just as always insure you have a working backup just incase.

That's what I thought, but I figured I would ask.

You have no idea how shocked I was that it worked. I installed Sunshine and it took me to the payment screen, so I thought I would give it a shot. Took about two minutes and it threw up that beautiful "You are now S-Off" message. Reboot to bootloader and sure enough, it worked. It did prompt me to update on my first boot, but I declined it. I am assuming I either got old stock or Verizon was just being extra lazy.
Anyway, thanks again for the quick responses. Going to give CM11 a shot!
Hi,
I just picked up the HTC One M8 Windows Phone edition and so far I'm loving it.
I was wondering whether it is possible to somehow port stock android onto the device rather than having Windows 8.
I know I could just purchase an android version, but I'm kind of just stuck with this for now..
Thanks!

Not at this time. But read around, they are working on a dual boot. Since 99.99999% of all M8 users are already on Android. I'd love to have WP on my M8, so I await it's results.

I actually want the exact opposite (android on my phone).
If they succeed in dual booting the WP on the Android versions of the M8, would it also work the other way around?
Thanks!
Yes they are the same phone

Has there been any developments on this? I would really like to try android on my wp m8 too.
