wich one is the rooting section for canadian verson of m8 is it like samsung you use at & t section
Not really a dumb question. You are probably fine on the "international" or generic One M8 section. All ROMs for the GSM variants will work on your version. Also, many of the general and Q&A threads there (as well as this AT&T version section) will apply to your version. But you will have to use some judgement and discretion. While all M8's are identical in hardware, there are subtle network/radio differences between the carrier versions.
Also, depending on your carrier, lots of the info in the AT&T section can be handy. For instance, Rogers and Bell Canada (not sure about other Canadian carriers) share the same/similar network with AT&T, and the companies were all the same company (or partially owned by AT&T) at in one point.

Alright, I've been reading like mad here. I'm getting basically two sets of stories to the same question.
Q: Is there ANY hardware difference in the US/CAN models?
I'm aware of the INT Version, and the KOR version. But, for CAN/US despite different modem software. I assume the hardware is in fact identical? I know for example that my t-999v has the same FCC number as the us TMO version. If this is in fact the case then any s3 should work on any US or Canadian Carrier with some sort of modem hack?
I'd love to get your takes on this guys. Thanks again.
Canadian version is same as ATT version. Sprint and other CDMA carriers have different radios.
As stated above; I'm getting the Rogers HTC One, but I'm not sure which forum I should be following.
With my SGSIII it was simple, Rogers was listed with the AT&T version, and the international version is quite different from the North American, but the One doesn't really seem different between the regions. My biggest concern is the ROMs, want to make sure I'm getting the right ROM for my device.
Thanks
T-Mobile, ATT, Rogers and all GSM carriers are the same as the international version. You can follow either thread you want
Only difference is radio bands

I really don' t get why all the One released by differen US carriers need different subfora, supposedly because iirc the sprint variant is rather unique and you can' t flash variants from the other carrier or the international version on it but this forum only leeds to more confusion because T-mobile is not only a US carrier but also a carrier in many european countries which also brands the international device with their own firmware+logo on the back. I have no idea what will happen when you flash an american rom on a european tmobile One... see here for example a seperate One for dutch tmobile: https://www.studentmobiel.nl/htc-one?plan_id=465&plan_length=24&provider_id=1&renewal=0
Isn' t it possible to just include different development sections for the different carriers to a unified One subforum?
I think it's this way because there is less confusion and less chance for people to brick there phone because some people don't read before they go flashing roms. That's just what I think.

because there are carrier specific mods like wifi calling. the devs in the international thread were just nice enough to give us those options.

But the existence of this forum will lead to more confusion, T-Mobile is a German carrier which is a big player outside the US but this is a T-Mobile US specific forum not meant for the majority of T-Mobile users.

all tmo users can use this thread plus the international and at&t. all those phones are identical besides the carrier specific features and thats why there is a specific thread for tmo. wifi calling is only available for tmo if there was just one thread how many people would be asking why isnt wifi calling working for me. because your on at&t and it only works for tmo.
Hi all. Soon (as soon as I end my mega carrier contract) I will be purchasing an unlocked HTC One M8 direct from HTC. I will use a nano simm from the new Cricket Wireless.
I believe this unlocked version is same as ATT&T sku. Buying unlocked, I can freely change carriers, and avoid a lot of bloat ware.
My question is, Is this the correct forum for that phone / carrier combination? I ask because I am sure I will be rooting, experimenting, etc.
Thank you all in advance!
It is and you'll find more in the international forums here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8
Roms on that forum will state whether they're safe to use on the AT&T version.
I have a AT&T branded M8 that I use on Tmobile because it is sim unlocked. My question is, do I flash custom roms from the Tmobile xda board or do I stick with AT&T roms only? I've never use a nonbranded phone! Thank you.
Its a tricky question, actually. In general any ROM meant for the GSM M8 should be "safe" to flash, in that they won't damage your phone and will work for the most part (but stay away from the CDMA ROMs for Verizon and Sprint). But some ROMs might work better on your specific (T-Mobile) network. Also, a different radio may or may not affect reception. The most you can really do is to read up or ask other T-Mobile users (or even T-Mobile customers using the AT&T version M8 like you) what has resulted from trial and error; or experiment yourself.
