Radio shack wireless desire C(CDMA) - HTC Desire C

I have some questions on this device. I have one on the way and wonder what are the differences between it and the GSM variant? Will the root procedure listed work? Will there be development done for it? Will the ROMs that exist work?

So I got bootloader unlocked on my HTC Desire C CDMA(RadioShack Wireless{Cricket}). I tried to flash the recovery on : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004198 but got only an error saying not to redistribute the HTC software, and never actually booted into recovery when I tried. It still boots bootloader and regular fine, just no recovery? Can't flash the su.zip with no recovery correct?Anyone could look into building a recovery for CDMA variant? Or steer me in the right direction to build my own?

No one can help? I just want a working root and recovery for the CDMA version... Not to knowledgeable on building recovery, but I have some experience...

Same here
I got the same problem, looks like all these toolkits and roms for the htc desire c are for the gsm versions. Check everywhere on google and can't seem to find any rom or recovery for the cdma version! :-$ We'll just have to wait for an RUU. If you find a way to fix it let me know. Thanks in advance.

By the way, i flashed a rom that was for htc desire c but didn't work and now nothing works but the bootloader, i need the boot.img and system.img to make it work again

hey guys i have a CDMA desire c and ive mangeged to flash cwm and all the roms (From nameless v1 to revoultion v2.1) no problems at all :L i think it may be as i still have a really old GSM sim in it (becasue it has such good rates on it)

CDMA phones don't use sim cards, if your desire c uses sim card then it's a GSM not CDMA, nameless rom and evolution work well on GSM but don't work on CDMA desire c.

That doesn't seem to be the case for me. Like OP, I am having the exact same problem. Radioshack HTC Desire C but getting that message anytime I try to access recovery in my bootloader. Radioshack are an MVNO piggybacking on Cricket's service and they're CDMA so it's something to do with that.

If you can't get to recovery try flashing this one its the stock recovery for the Radioshack HTC Desire C.
I hope it helps!

No CDMA (to date afaik) for Cricket on XDA.
Check my posts history or search forums for HTC Desire C Cricket, has external link for that device

The red text saying Do Not Redistribute is because you have unlocked the bootloader and (if you rooted) do not have the Stock Bootloader installed.

[Q] Can you convert a regular One into a dev One with Ota Support? (request)

Im looking for some developer to post a guide on turning a regular Htc One like the T Mobile or AT&T version into a Developer Edition One that will get Ota updates from Htc. All the internets await the dev that does this, or 5 bucks on paypal. Whatever you choose.
This has already been done, although not in one tutorial yet on XDA.
Basicly unlock bootloader via Revolution method S-OFF flash standard RUU (I suggest a 1.28 version so OTA can be checked) and OTA Then relock bootloader and go back S-ON voila standard HTC.
I did it myself with a dutch branded HTC from T-Mobile and made a tutorial in dutch.

can it be done with sprint one too?
If it can be unlocked and S-OFF via revolution I don't see why not. When a RUU is then installed it makes it a standard HTC edition
Won't work on Sprint. The Dev edition is GSM only.

can it do voice over LTE?
Sprint still uses CDMA radios and the Dev edition RUU won't have one.
Also the Sprint phone has a different partition layout than the Dev edition.
The boot partition on GSM phones is the partition number Sprint uses for the radio if I remember correctly

For the sake of simplicity I'll add the Dev edition doesn't support CDMA. Better?
OK no need to treat me like a noob .Did some reading into CDMA and GSM and the sprint version is just different alltogether. The Netherlands/Europe doesn't work like that with different models dor a specific provider.
We have a couple of providers that use the same phone but for example a differnet frequency for GSM 2G 3G 4G etc. CDMA isn't at all available here. or as I understand anywhere outside the US.
So if Sprint uses CDMA I'm afraid it might not work when de Dev edition of the rom hasn't got CDMA support.
You could turn the sprint One into a gsm one it has both radios, just check your gsm needs as it is extremely lacking on how many frequencies it actually has.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
its not about the fact that it has both radios. its just the plain simple fact that Sprint uses CDMA for almost all of its phone and data capabilties and the fact that since the HTC ONE/GE only has a GSM version. if you indeed flash an OTA from the GE version it wont have CDMA drivers and therefore you'll basically have a 600 dollar HTC Ipod touch.

[Q] Compatibility GSM ROM for CDMA Device

It will be possible to install a GSM ROM HTC One, to avoid having to be changed to GSM mode in Sprint HTC One?
I don't want to brick my device, I wonder what happen if I flash a GSM Stock Rom in this sprint HTC One

Your question is not very clear, but if I understand well you wan't to install a GSM ROM on a Sprint model.
The answer is NO, but there are some ROMs in HTC international forum which have added Sprint support like Viper, Insertcoin, Elegancia, ARHD.
If you flash a non compatible ROM you'll brick your phone, cause you'll mess up the partitions, kernel. In that case it's a pain and you'd have to flash a ruu in order to get it working again

Post above is correct. User however appears to want to use a GSM ROM thinking that it will prevent the annoyance of using the Sprint HTC One on a GSM network requiring that you constantly switch the network mode to GSM/UTMS.
Sorry, don't think it's feasible at this time though.

[Q] SIM unlock HTC One

Hi,
I would like to SIM unlock my HTC One which is locked to T-Mobile UK. It is completely stock and has Android OS 4.3 at the moment. I haven't unlocked the boot loader or done S-OFF.
After my search:
I have seen an XDA post for Sim-Unlocking Sprint HTC One but I am not sure if it will work for my HTC One.
Another post on XDA shows methods to SIM Unlock Your HTC ONE M8
An external site has this solution for CDMA variants of HTC One..
Has any one used any of these methods or Is there any similar solution for my phone?
Thanks

[Q] Converting Verizon HTC One M7 to T-Mobile (Need any help I can get)

OK so I have a HTC One M7 on Verizon, I recently Rooted, Unlocked the BootLoader, and S-Off'd the device. Now I'm wanting to transfer this phone to T-Mobile. I currently am using a MC11 Rom and feel pretty good with flashing and such. I have seen a couple different post some saying that a Verizon M7 will work on T-Mobile, others saying that the radio is different and others saying that you won't get 4G LTE. Can anyone help me out and give me some solid answers? I really don't wanna brick my phone and I definitely want 4G LTE. I'm sort of confused on what RUU to get and also is there a way to see the specs such as radio info and such to make sure everything is compatible? If anybody could help me out i'd really appreciate it. Lastly if I put this in the wrong section i'm sorry, this is my first post

Verizon & T mobile have different hardware partition layout
so confirm that first then proceed
you can brick your phone careful !
OK well how would I do that to check? Is there any forum you can link me to that shows how to do this? Sorry to ask basicly a step by step but I just wanna be saf through this. Thanks BTW.

Only phones with MID starting with PN071 (GSM M7_U or M7_UL) can be converted to other variants having MID starting with PN071 (GSM M7_U or M7_UL).
For example, you can convert a WWE GSM variant (PN0710000) to a Dev edition GSM variant (PN0712000)
You can't convert a Sprint CDMA variant (PN0720000) to a GSM variant (PN071XXXX)
Afaik, (I might be wrong, confirm if your partition table is the same)You can't (?) convert a Verizon CDMA variant (PN0731000) to a T-MOB GSM variant (PN0713000)
Afaik, MIDs not having the same 3rd digit have different partition layout and different hardware. Make sure before proceeding.

So you should be fine changing your MID from PN0731000 to any PN071 MID and flashing a RUU.
But you will probably not have LTE because flashing RUU doesnt change frequency bands.
