[Q] Add 850mhz 3G HSPA Band on HTC ONE 801n (EU Version) ? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I am very new to this.
I am in Australia and Australia carriers (Telstra, Vodafone, Optus etc) have their HTC ONE model 801s. I am ordering the HTC ONE from UK which has the 801n.
Between 801n and 801s, the only thing i m concerned is the 850mhz HSPA/3G, which 801s has and 801n do not.
If I get the 801n, is there a way to make it able to work on the 850mhz HSPA/3G?
I m very new to this. So sorry if there is a thread for this, but I just doesn't know which one, as I saw people saying flashing ROM or Radio is the way to change it (like having 850mhz on the 801n).
Thanks in advance.

Im interested in this as well, but searching this forum for the "radio" topics it seems its not possible yet, maybe someday... but not now though as these post suggests

vivid in australia

I just sold my HTC inspire to get a vivid..
In Australia our 3g is 850 MHz and LTE is 1800 MHz...
If I buy an att vivid, will I be able to access these frequencies? My current phone is the att inspire.
There is a leaked pic of an Australian vivid on my carrier... Can anyone tell if its the same model as att one??
I don't wanna buy the wrong model....
Here is the pic..
http://m.cnet.com.au/htc-holiday-to-be-first-telstra-4g-smartphone-339323146.htm?redir=1
You will get the 3g speed but not LTE. AT&T LTE is 700MHz and the Vivid radio only supports the 700Mhz frequency.
Really? What are the numbers shown in these specs?
http://mobiles.maxabout.com/att/htc-vivid
It says 1800 MHz?
Is.there a model which will work in my area?

IIRC one of the Canadian carriers has an 1800MHz LTE spectrum. Bell, I think. Might be wrong, though.

Cheers.. but from your link it looks like the raider is same as vivid,but can also do 700 MHz lte???
Is this correct?
Rogers uses the same bands as AT&T
and it looks like Bell is using 700/1700/2100 for LTE according to their websites

Pirate. Initially you said I should get.the holiday. Can you post a link showing the specs of this phone? If it operates lte on 1800 MHZ then ill buy it.
I've read that my carrier uses 1800 MHz frequency.. but also seen 1700 figure used....
My carrier is telstra in Australia.
This link explains our lte structure. http://m.zdnet.com.au/telstra-s-4g-lte-goes-public-339323055.htm
Can someone confirm to me that when they speak of lte for usb dongles, it also applies to mobile phones?
I ask because telstra has just released 4g lte for usb wireless but we dont have any lte phones available yet...
Which is why I wanna get one from america.....

Don't bother getting one from here; looks like Telstra uses a very unique LTE band. 1800 means 1800, not 1700, so the Bell Raider won't work. Just wait for it when it comes out. The leaked ROM notes that it's to be called the "Velocity 4G", so keep an eye out for it instead of trying to fish on the international market.
LTE for USB dongles is using the same LTE as the mobile phones. It's on its way. It was like that on Verizon too, with the dongles first, then the rollout of phones.
@Pirate: Has HTC released an unbranded Raider? I didn't even know that existed already.

[Q] Cross flashing radios

Hi! I am also a current HTC user(Just not one of these One series) and I would like to ask if it's possible to cross flash radios from any variants of HTC One?
The reason is I asked HTC on their official facebook pages about LTE support of the HTC one and they said that the LTE frequencies that will be enabled on the HTC One depends on what region it was released. So just wondering if let's say I would buy the HTC One from europe(Whic has different LTE frequencies compared to our country) will I be able to flash a radio baseband of a HTC One from let's say asia to switch frequencies?
The reason why I asked this is because I noticed that past HTC devices like HTC One S and One X etc. has different variants depending on what network/region it was bought.
A good example is
Can I flash the radio of HTC One which was has a uk radio/baseband into a HTC One with an asia radio/baseband?
no
You sure about that? Hmm isn't it a tedious task for HTC to make different hardware per region just to complicate things?

No, they use different bands in the hardware. Can an AM radio pick up FM, no.
US use different bands to pretty much the rest of the world. In America the AT&T model covers all america, the EU model should cover most of the rest of the world.
LTE:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz
Ok thanks! Read the info on the other thread! Anyways just to be sure I am gonna try cross flashing basebands one I get the device. At least it won't do any permanent brick anyways. I still believe it should be possible since they are using qualcomm modems on this device. And the modem I am talking about is has support for every LTE frequencies in the world.

This is not a matter of FM to AM this a matter of letting the chip recieve 87.5mhz frequency and let it also recieve 108mhz frequency

Wrong, common misconception, it does not support LTE frequencies world wide. And it is funny we should be talking about this today because Qualcomm has just 4 hours ago announced such a beast that you are referring to, so obviously it is not available in any device. http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/qualcomm-first-global-lte-chip/

Ok sorry I am not talking about a real global LTE support but at least. The HTC One's modem can support this LTE frequency bands.
700 / 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600
And if you ask me I think that would be enough to make 4G work on almost all parts of the globe.

Ha! I just saw an article yesterday about new Qualcomm chip that includes/supports all bands (though that may be per region, ex US, Europe, Asia). Supposed to make it easier for manufacturers to build one device, and not one device per carrier.
@OP, I would not try to flash radio not intended for your device. If partition sizes are different...brick. at least, that's my understanding.
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Sorry, but I can't really follow up know,
Is it now possible to flash a new radio rom on an US One, so it will use Europe Bands for LTE?

Now comes the great news.. as far as I know Rogers uses 2600 MHz . so EU Version from the UK WILL work!

EDIT:
Maybe this Thread can be moved to Q/A
Rogers should have the phone next Friday....given that is when the pre-order offer ends
the one that available now, only has one band that matches rogers LTE band :2600
as far as i know and read from XperiaZ forum, (c6603 XperiaZ has almost same LTE band as ONE)
no one are able to get LTE.
if you need LTE. get it from your provider.

anyhow
2600 is still not very realible (although i heard that one verison of Note2 that only got 2600 got LTE)
Alright so I guess I'll hold off. What band I'd missing exactly
So not 100%sure the uk version will work on rogers LTE??
how many version of htc one is there
i checked the htc uk n canada site
all the specs are the same
so ibm kind of confused
should i get that from uk or not
cuz its about 150$$$ different

[Q] Is it possible to flash TMobile Baseband on to HTC One (brand-less GSM)

Is it possible to flash TMobile Baseband on to HTC One (brand-less GSM)
In asia, Taiwan, sells the Original HTC One.
Was hoping, I can flash TMO Baseband onto Original HTC One, purchased in Taiwan. Use in USA for 3G and LTE.
Is there a way to make this happen? or are there a Flashable Zip already available, I did not find?
If its a regular HTC one yes you can flash different baseband/radio. You will not however unlock any frequencies.
If you use T-Mobile on an international, developer, or any HTC one not sold by T-Mobile here in the states you will only pick up 3G in areas that have been reformed.

The Asia models are very different than other models and have a different frequency set for which they are designed. I don't think it will ever pick up AWS (which I think is what you want), even if some other models will.

Meaning, in the past like HTC Desire HD, which I had. There are cooked roms, and flash baseband. Unlock frequency to work pretty much any where.
HTC Original from Asia, which no longer possible.
Can you guys tell me, what t-mobile baseband frequency runs on?
Will the below work on TMOBILE?
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

I'm not sure where you got those numbers, but everything except the LTE should work. T-Mobile LTE is 1700. However, having 1700 and 2100 is not the same as having 1700/2100 AWS.
Not sure if this is still relevant but my HTC Dev edition clearly uses tmo 4g downloading over 25 Mbps and upping about the same

[Q] International Version ???

Hi there
I want to buy the HTC ONE "again", but the problem is that I'm not sure which one.
After some research, I've found that there are several different versions of the HTC ONE:
HTC 801n ONE, ONE HTC 801e, 801a ONE HTC, HTC ONE 801W ...
Well why "again"?
Thing is that I had one until recently, the 801n, i got through a contract renewal in Switzerland, and I was very very happy with it!
But the trouble started when I went on a trip again. I travel a lot between Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, and the US, and due prolonged
stays in these countries, I have a simcard in each country, as well as prepaid and contract, each with internet access (3G and 4G).
Now in Mexico I noticed that my brand new HTC ONE 801n, was not compatible with the frequencies used here (3G, 850Mhz with Telcel Mexico), which made it useless as a smartphone. Therefore I sold it. But I loved this phone, so I am going to buy me a new HTC One!
Question is, which HTC ONE is the right for me?? Also I read everywhere on the internet about an "international" HTC one, an "international version"??
Is this one of the above versions I mentioned? "International," does it mean that it will work with all the frequencies in all the countries I travel to? With at least 3G Internet can use, perhaps even with 4G? And where do they sell it? And how can I identify it?
Thanks for your help

Not really, because already sold mine europe htc one, and looking for a new international one, which I can use in in europe and in the US, without hacking or flashing it.
And as noob in the smartphone area, i wouldnt be able to do it,even right now i am having problems to understand what they are talking about in the other thread
International version means it isn't locked to any specific carrier yoy basically any sim from any country should work. You should check that the network frequencies that the phone can handle are compatible with the country that you're visiting but a quick check of the phone specs will tell you that.

You just need to look at the table in the first post
First, find out what 3G/4G frequencies are available with what carriers in each country you travel to. Then you can pick a model that will provide the most coverage. Just going off the 850MHz 3G requirement, you have a few variants to choose from.

US and in Mexico , 3G 850 MHz , and one thing i read was that if the 850 MHZ are not supported by the phone, it seems that it doesnt matter that all other frecuencies avaible in the coutry are supported, the phone wont work with 3G, no matter what. is that right.
No beeing right now most of the time in Mexico for the rest of the year, thinking to buy the HTC One in the US HTC online shop, the unlocked version, 600 USD,
and it says
This HTC OneĀ® unlocked version comes with: 32GB of onboard memory and is SIM unlocked.
- HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)
Now, at Telcel Mexico , they told, if I buy a phone in the US, it has to be an ATnT compatible phone, and it will work without a problem in Mexico,same frecuencies as AtnT.
Are those the frecuencies used by AtNT??
If the only 3G frequency your carrier supports is 850Mhz, then it doesn't matter what other frequencies the phone is capable of.
Look at the table in the HTC One variants thread, and compare the frequencies of that phone with what is listed for AT&T. And more importantly, what Telcel Mexico support.
What about 4G and Europe, are they high or low priority? The Asian variant supports 850Mhz 3G and has a good overlap with the European 3G and 4G frequencies, but not the US 4G frequencies. What do you consider more important?
