Rebrand to international and then you can flash rom. I am on lineage 17.1. Got mine on ebay also.

Just making sure. This would apply to any rom/recovery including the new dual boot one correct?

Now that we have s-off, can we use the roms now or do we have to wait for the verizon ports. I am not sure if our kernel is different then the other carriers.

I really want to install an international rom to get lte working
you must wait for a Verizon version of any custom rom. other carrier/ international roms will not work.

yah, i'm just seeing that.. not really sure how that works if the kernels are different...
Please do NOT flash ANY ROM not specifically in this Verizon thread unless the ROM states that it is working on Verizon..
Even though they are the same phone, the partitions are different.
What this means is you could end up with some serious problems.
For example, you could be flashing the boot.img to the system partition.. not good

Good point. Would you think the work involved in porting other devices ROMs over to the VZW version would be minimal at least?
I wouldn't imagine it's too difficult but why risk it when we'll probably have something legit to flash by mid week?

Is it possible at all to convert Verizon carrier unlocked M8 to Internation version..to receive updates from HTC outside US?
Currently phone is in global network mode on GSM network in asia. But updates from Verizon are only available on CDMA network.
HTCDev has
One M8 HTC WWE zip 3.4.0 v4.4.2 91.3 MB 1.12.422.19
this file available for download.
My Theory:
1. Install weaksauce and get temporary root
2. Use firewater method to achieve S-OFF
3. Install twrp recovery
4. Flash above zip file.
Will this work?
Another Q:
1. Lets say above method works....will it restore recovery to stock? Because htc updates will only work on stock recovery right?

If you go to the main HTC One M8 threads.. they have a conversion thread for M8 to International.. and if you read it, it says there is no support for CDMA only GSM..
Verizon = CDMA
Sorry.

Imo Scott's roms ie clean rom is closest to stock than stock. You can Soff and still keep its ability in tact and change what u want to as long as you don't change recoveries

I wish it was so I could get some GPE going that has everything working. Really the only big killer for me is not being able to browse the web and be on the phone at the same time.
I just don't understand why the 2 versions of phone are so different. I mean the VZW version can work on an international system right? Doesn't the VZW version version have the same hardware as the other models just not being used? Or just maybe VZW is just a bunch of spoil sports? I'm not sure if which but either way I wish I could convert mine to work with the stock GPE.

Exactly my point. If the hardware is same it should be possible to change the software and convert from Verizon to International.
At least can someone explain why it's not possible? May be any chances in future?
Just curious -> Noob!.... ??

i can only speculate because of verizon's CDMA for Voice and SMS that the international HTC updates won't have the correct radios or bands that work specifically on verizon's band.

What you should do is the following.
Root and S-OFF. Install custom recovery, flash one of the latest rooted Verizon roms from the development section. If you want, flash the radios too.
So, about converting it to international, I'm not 100% sure, but I think the hardware in the Verizon phone is incompatible with the International firmware.

All I did is install a custom ROM and specified the international variant then flashed the stock kernel. Everything works fine on all ROMS

You have a verizon phone right? S-off, latest firmware? If so, flash any other ROM that is meant for the International M8 then look for the corresponding kernel.
I'm on Android Revolution 21.0. If you can download that, I'll share the latest kernel with you. You must be on the latest firmware though!

Awesome, that's exactly it.
Once it's changed to my Vodafone SIM, will it need to be changed back once I put the VZW sim back in? Curious. Not a huge deal, but I've not had this problem w/ earlier ROMs.

Yes, you'd have to change it back. Cool thing is that it gives you the correct data icons.

GSM unlocked is different from being bootloader unlocked, which is what would be needed to be able to flash a different models' firmware.
