[Q] HTC One 801e LTE? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
am really stumped here and can't work out whether the One 801e has LTE or not. I mean, I've done tons of research and various sites say different things. I'd like to buy an unlocked 64gb but I want to know if it has LTE or not which for me is a deal breaker. Please answer if you're absolutely sure and without a single doubt in the world! :good:
Thanks

It doesn't support LTE out of box.

So, do you think it's just a question of installing the 801n radios? I mean, is it really that easy? Thanks for clarifying this

Not easy, but there is weak possibility to activate LTE

Would it not be easier to see excactly what variant the 801e has? Fastboot and it states at the top under 'Locked'.
See this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236&highlight=variant

Hi! Provide me a dmesg, logcat or the file from /proc/last_kmesg & /proc/kmesg
I'll look into it's hardwares and tell you if the device can support LTE or not.

Can i provide /proc/last_kmesg & /proc/kmesg to you, and you check for me?

Sure go ahead. But please PM me once you provide it here as I might not see this thread anytime soon if it get's buried within the forums.

interesting as i also got the 801e
LTE is starting in South Africa now and hopefully will be able to test it out sometime

Is my diamond CDMA??

Hi everyone i'm new to the WM world. I'm using my diamond in Asia country but my diamond is from Brazil distributor which the spec is stated in the link below:
http://www.htc.com/br/product/touchdiamond/specification.html
I don't understand about how CDMA phone different from GSM phone. So how do i determine my diamond is CDMA or not. Which rom should i choose if i want to flash my rom to wm6.5? thanks for the help..
Based on the specs:
GSM quadribanda 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Your phone is not CDMA.
If it has a Sim Card section where the battery area is located, then that's again another sign.
Dual Devices are coming on the marked these days that have both CDMA and GSM however the Diamond is not one of those phones..
Your phone is not CDMA.

[Q] Rooting htc Hero on 2.1 (not Sprint)

Okay guys, I have scoured the internet and these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not come up with anything yet. I have followed the directions exactly for the Sprint version of the rooting for 2.1 on an htc Hero and everything is fine until I get to the command:
sh /sdcard/unrevoked
Now it does it's thing with this and I get the next Unpacking, please wait... And then the huge UNREVOKED, but after this in everything that I have seen it should say "Ready to 'su'." Yet it never does. It just goes back to the "$" and that's where it sits. I checked the phone just to make sure and see if the superuser permissions app was there... and it's not. Am I missing something? I didn't get any errors before this, but can't get that app installed. Ugh, so frustrated...
So no ideas from anyone, huh? Darn, and here I was hoping someone would at least have something for me to try.
I am confused, you said in the thread title you want root for 2.1 not sprint but then you go to mention this;

Andrewb84uk,
Good question, but the statement I made still holds true. The phone I have is not using the Sprint ROM but it is a CDMA phone, so I was hoping that the rooting exploit for Sprint would work for the company that I am through as well (which happens to be a carrier called Cellcom located in Wisconsin). So Yes, I do not have a Sprint Hero, but I also do not have a GSM Hero either. Just hoping that since I can't find rooting for any other carriers, something might have worked...

If your phone is CDMA, then I would post over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
I can move this if you want (I think), but you might as well just open a thread over there and explain the issues.
In GSM Hero, we tend to refer to all CDMA hero's as being Sprint Heros (since Sprint was first to release it IIRC)

I tried out a few of the different rooting techniques and have still had no luck. It's kinda frustrating. I guess that's one of the downsizes of having so many devices with the same platform. You can root for one device, but it certainly won't work for all, or all the different carriers either. Couple more to try before I decide to give up and pack it in. Never had this much trouble with my other phone...
SOLVED!!!

Wow, thank you. This seems to have worked beautifully. I am now rooted and have the Super User Permissions application on my Hero. Kudos for the link and the creator of the apk!

you can just temp root your phone and use titanium backup to freeze the two apps IQRD and HTC IQAgent and you should be fine.

except CIQ is more than just a couple of apks. it is in the kernel also. tied in deeply with HTC Sense also. this goes beyond just a couple of apks that you can remove when you root.

I have 2 HTC phones from Canadian carriers and both stock version don't have this iqrd app/rootkit.
But the one from US carrier stock version has this, so looks like carrier regulation in Canada or the app/rootkit is naming something else.

This is truly upsetting. After reading the post, I pulled my battery, took the SIM and SD cards out and relit my old phone. I thought it was bad enough I had to 'de-Google' the thing, (Android being the exception, I *thought*.), but I simply won't use this phone as is. IMHO, I think this is worse than the iPhone thing. Will it get the same publicity, I dunno... I think this information should be forwarded to ftc.gov, fcc.gov, consumerist.com and such. This is corporate piracy of the worst kind.

Seriously? That's insane. I like Sense, but am willing to completely stop using it for that reason of Carrier IQ unless someone takes the time to make Carrer IQless Sense ROM once we have an unlocked bootloader.
Oh note this has nothing to do with sense or htc. This rootkit exists on all types of devices samsung/motorola/nokia.

New User Rooting Help

Howdy, folks.
I'm coming from a 3+ year old HTC10 and have an S10 ( G973UZKAXAA factory rooted) on the way. My understanding is that this is the Snapdragon CPU. Can someone point me to the correct thread/guide to root this phone? I'm seeing instructions for Magisk and TWRP, but I'm new to the Samsung world, so I'm a bit confused on where to start.
Thanks in advance!

I think you mean factory unlocked not factory rooted. Also US Snapdragon phones can't be rooted and most likely never will.

Yes, sorry - I mis-spoke - I did mean unlocked. In any case, for those of us who want to relieve ourselves of factory bloatware and have an unlocked and rooted phone, which model number would it be? There are variants all over the map.
Or, would this method using Magisk seemingly confirmed here at XDA get me where I want to be in terms of root?

What confuses me is that some indications suggest that rooting the Snapdragon variant will work, though opinions are all over the map, and not all of them are current. Since development is constantly in motion, it's hard to know for sure.
Here's the link to a guide for rooting with Magisk:

Here's a guide to flashing TWRP for Snapdragon S10 (which wouldn't be possible without root, I presume):

Am I just reading all of this wrong? I'm sure you can appreciate that with all this conflicting information and hundreds upon hundreds of pages across multiple threads, it's hard to know for sure.

Exynos models can be rooted. Only some snapdragon models can be rooted, but they aren't U.S. models. The U.S. model phones are locked down tight.

To be expected if you've been a Samsung user all along. I've been an HTC user across the Tilt, HD2, Inspire, One and 10. That covers about... what... fifteen years?
So, "well known" to some is not so much to others. Obviously you immerse yourself in this, follow it vigorously, and therefore have knowledge that others don't. I buy a phone every couple years for business and personal use. I unlock, root, perhaps install a custom ROM but not always, install the necessary apps (TiBu, AdAware, etc.) and I'm done with it. It's not a hobby to me.
That said, I've already sent the phone back. Safe to assume the G975F/DS is what I'd be in need of?

Nope, wrong on all accounts. I came to the S9 then S10 after years of owning and developing firmware for Motorola phones. It doesn't take a genius to read and do a little research before they sink almost a grand into a phone. It also only takes less than a minute to Google and find the answer you've been hashing about for days. It sure as hell doesn't take a genius to figure out how to Google or even search XDA for that matter. Hell, it's been mentioned here a 100 times. If it takes you this long to figure out if you can root, you probably don't want to try.
