Sorry if I post this in the wrong place I'm still new to this my question is and this might sound stupid but is there a way to flash a zio to at&t see my brother has a old zio and my step daughter has some crappy at&t phone so I thought if it was possible to do for free it would be pretty cool I don't need data just text and voice any help would be awesome ty ....
Not possible, they use different networks, The zio was made for CDMA networks, They do not use sim cards, where as AT&T is a GSM network which use Simcards.
Thanks for the info

Hey my brother uses this phone as a backup phone but when I insert my similar into I am unable login gmail to make this phone work. Tmobile says I need to be on a special data plan and I do have data plan for my HTC hd2.
My question is...if I flash to a different rom from stock ..will I be able to use this phone?

Your HD2 data plan is like for windows, the G1 needs the android one.
And no flashing another rom doenst work neither because is the unique IMEI number that they take in count, so in resume they will always knows that you have the G1
Maybe search for how to activate a g1 without a data plan. Might help. Just a blind shot though.

I just got a galaxy tab Sprint off ebay and it's still activated. 3g works. I don't think its stolen because i got the box complete with all the contents. my concern is i wont be able to activate this thing when it eventually turns off.
anyone have a similar experience?
You can still use it as a wifi only tab.

I know, I would eventually like to add it to my Sprint plan.
Then what is the problem ? Here in europe you can use any phone you want with the plan you subscribe.

that it may be linked to another account??
Why don't you just contact the guy that sold it to you?
Sorry but are you guys on drugs or something?
All you do is put another sim card in, Or am I mistaken and Sprint do not use sim cards or something?
It's a cdma version, so no sim card. But i think you can still use it with another plan. Try to contact sprint.

I know as the phone sits currently it will not work with AT&T but I was wondering if anyone had found a way around the differences in the networks to make it compatible. You people are pretty smart here so I'm sure someone has. :good:
There's actually a way to SIM unlock your Sprint HTC one to use almost every network using a SIM card but it will lack certain frequencies. U will be able to use 3g and certain locations will let u use 4g based on the frequency in the area.

I have heard of people doing this and still not being able to use AT&T because of the different frequencies with Sprint and ATT. If I can just SIM unlock the phone and use the voice I would be happy. But I have not seen where anyone has had any luck with getting AT&T voice to work on a Sprint phone. I will try it thought and see what I get!
Could you post a link to directions on SIM unlocking the HTC One? It would be greatly appreciated.
II have some weird issues.. i tried factory restoring and it doesnt help.. the radio switches from LTE to 3G and i get weird issues during the transition and im not even able to disable LTE (that i know of) so I can just keep a steady 3g connection. Plus I get an error trying to send text via hangouts on LTE ONLY, and for some odd reason i cant upload photos on facebook. I have a feeling that the verizon stock rom deosnt work well with tmobile network. Im not rooted or anything just plain stock. Is there any rom or flashing I can do to basically transform my verizon moto x to work like a real tmobile phone? or some similar procedure to make things work more fluent?
If i cant do anything like this, ill probably just sign up for verizon prepaid but id like to stay with tmobile if possible.. thanks!
There's a thread in the Droid Ultra general section that should help you out.

So I broke a phone and a friend gave me a Sgh-t679 for TMobile... I did a little searching and I see I pretty much have to pay for an unlock code... If I pay for a code can I use it on Verizon as they use cdma and lte? And as they use a micro Sim? I thank you kindly for your time I greatly appreciate a reply...

:what: You cannot use a GSM phone on a CDMA network. :banghead:

Thank you kindly for you reply... I was just checking, as in *#*#info#*#* menuthere is the option cdma only... So I take it, that statement was your kind and polite way of saying "no sir, unfortunately this is a GSM only device and you will not be able to use it on a CDMA network"....so if that's the case I thank you for that...

There is a difference with what you are talking about and what your asking. What you asked refers to hardware, the modems are not compatible. Roaming is slightly different. Most CDMA carriers do not use a Sim style card, as far as I know Verizon is the only company that does. In the U.S. there are a few gsm carriers that would work with the t679. But it will never work on a CDMA network. For more info on the difference between CDMA and gsm check Google, there are several articles explaining why its not possible. That's how I knew the answer to your question to begin with.
I am using ATT. ATT is also gsm. Verzon is cdma. You cant use a gsm phone on CDMA. Sorry:crying::crying:
