[Q] question about an unlocked m8 - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Hey guys,
I bought my unlocked m8 from Amazon and according to model number I guess it's an at&t model even though
I got a clean sense 6 and not a custom at&t.
Can I root it and install custom rooms normally? I mean download it from here and install it? Or I need to download it from
A different m8 forum(Verizon, Sprint etc)?

I assume you have a gsm unlocked phone. Yes, you can flash international roms. You can flash at&t roms if you are using at&t, if not, most at&t roms do not allow you to edit apn settings easily. Most people just flash the international roms unless you are one of these people who just can't live without there voicemail popping up in their messages. Do not flash sprint or verizon. You need to unlock boot loader, then root, then i would soff if your phone allows it. Even if soff doesn't work, you can still flash any rom. Remember to do backup as soon as you get into custom recovery.

If the CDMA radio isn't already supported in hardware, you can't add it simply by flashing a file or other software change. And as far as I can tell, from looking at specs, the T-Mobile and Sprint versions are the only ones that support CDMA.

Thx for the reply. Actually after talking to a HTC representative I found out I have the dev edition device
Which according to them has an unlocked bootloader. Can anyone explain what it means and
What can I do with it?

Then you are already unlocked. You need to get a custom recovery and root. There are plenty of guides on this, but if you have any specific questions msg me.

Also if the processor (SOC) for AT&T, Sprint and international version is Snapdragon 801, will the support both radios.

The fact they share the 801 SoC doesn't mean anything. The AT&T versions does not support CDMA.
I'm not particularly knowledgeable if the info you supplied will answer the question definitely or not. But if it is the international version, I highly doubt CDMA is supported.
