Hi friends,

I hope you guys are able to help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix my phone. So it all started when I flashed a radio that didn't work (I had SuperCID). After that, I tried different radios and flashed a radio that had the same version with my stock radio and none of them worked. So I decided to restore my phone to stock factory settings by downloading a stock backup from here (2.22.707.4 - TWRP Thanks to ckpv5) and the latest firmware from here (2.22.707.4_firmware.zip).

I flashed the firmware first twice, successfully and the restore the stock backup from TWRP and it got into a bootloop. However if i flash a custom GPE rom, it boots successfully but Baseband/IMEI becomes unknown.

I'm not sure what else to do now :crying:

Good news!

I managed to resolved the issue by downloading the Taiwan (HTC__621 / 1.54.709.4): 1.15.2133156.UA14G_20.18n.4096.05L radio from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736921
Before I flashed the radio, I had configured my phone to SuperCID 11111111. I didn't clear any caches after the flash, not sure if that matters.

I haven't checked on why Sense roms are boot looping but I'm happy with a GPE rom without any issues. So I'll just stick with that for the time being

you don't even have the m8 you have htc one e8 device
don't flash anything from this thread or forum search about your specific device forum
or search on htc website http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#sprint
