thanks for the replies
Are there any hardware difference? Does all custom rims and unlock works the same?

I can't talk about dual SIM version as mine is a single SIM version.
For single SIM, yes all hardware almost the same except the processor.
And all custom ROMs and unlock work the same as other Int'l GSM M8.

For dual SIM ... none of the custom ROM made for single SIM work on it.

So .. which is yours ? Single SIM or dual SIM ?

Yours is a single SIM like mine.
No need to worry too much on processor thing. HTC release a few type of processor to certain region.

Most important, take note the software version no. in settings - about
and make a backup before you do anything else like installing a custom ROM

thanks a lot for your help you really calmed me down, My software version is 1.54.709.12 does it matters? And I'll try to unlock it and change it to s-off in a couple of hours I hope everything will go smooth

There's a new update to 2.22.709.4 for your device.
Check for software update first before you do unlocking (settings - about - software update)
