[Q] HTC One Developer to flash TMO radio later

Hey, I live in Canada and I am with wind. I am really tempted to purchase the HTC one developer edition through a friend of mine. I know that it does not support the HSPA+ 1700Mhz network used by wind and TMO. However, the decive itself does. Would I be able to flash the TMO radio on it once they release the device, and just buy the developer edition beforehand? Just want to make sure that this would work.

People are saying that might be possible, but no one knows for sure until it has been done (not yet).

We're going to need S-Off for that and who knows when that will happen. And even then, no one really knows if it will work

Well, the developer edition will have s-off, or at least that's what I have heard. Getting the radio might be tricky, but knowing the devs on here someone will work it out. I was just wondering whether it would be physically feasible to get the missing frequency.

The dev. edition has unlocked bootloader... NOT s-off.
EDIT: No s-off confirmed by HTCdev twitter: https://twitter.com/htcdev/status/320021639762944001

OK, I guess I was wrong there. Still, after rooting my HTC hero in 2009, my sisters desire in 10, my lg p999 in 11, friends Samsung galaxy s2 in 12, I should be able to get my HTC one a new radio in a month or so, once everyone gets their hands on this awesome device.

Some of the later HTC devices, like my Amaze, only got S-Off by using a wire trick, which requires physical access to the inside of the phone (in the case of the Amaze, easily done by taking the back cover off). I wonder if S-Off will be possible on the One without physically disassembling it.
http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm .... Step 3, wire trick, which is needed for the phones listed.

Has this been done before on other HTC devices? I've preordered the 64 gb developer edition but am having second thoughts.
The reason I ask is that I bought the International version of the Galaxy note 1 with the expectation that one of our very talented developers could hack the radio to make the Tmobile band active... and it turned out to be way more complicated than anyone gave it credit for. Still not done for that note 1.
I'd like to feel a little more comfortable that this can be done with the One.

it is interesting, should be an easy fix but here in canada the only provider that is worth paying for is WIND. For $40 you get unlimited, calls, texting and data. Everywhere else it is $60 for a gig or less. So, naturally I want to stick with my provider, the only bummer is that they use the HSPA+ networks, same as T-Mobile.
The unlocked phone also cost $250 more here for some weird reason.

I don't think it will be possible, I'm sure I read that the alternative frequencies burnt off the driver chip. It might have been in the Anandtech review.

Just contacted HTC, got this as an answer ot the S-off of the Developer edition.
"Thanks for contacting HTC Technical Support Center.
Dear Balint, I am glad to know that you are a member of the HTC family and I will be more than happy to assist you.
Regarding the first question, your HTC One has the S-off."
so it is off, and have been confirmed.

I don't think HTC ever said the dev edition was going to be S-Off, just bootloader unlocked and SIM unlocked.

Ok, Thanks But why it says on Bootloader SIMLOCK?

With an s-on radio hack now available is it possible for this to be tested?

I would like to know as well.

I flashed the T-Mobile radio last week and don't get HSPA on 1700MHZ. I continue to get LTE and I still get HSPA on the refarmed towers. How do I know? I have an older T-Mobile branded phone that I can compare against. At home I get nothing better than EDGE on my Developer Edition One but I get HSPA on my other phone (T-Mobile branded). If I travel down the road a little ways I get LTE and HSPA on the One.
BTW, there are a TON of threads in this and the other One forums that are discussing the T-Mobile radio on the Developer Edition One and it seems the consensus is that you need to change your CID and, to do that, you need S-OFF. MobileTechVideos.com has supposedly gotten S-OFF with a JTAG rig and, a little more tecently, without using a wire. Check their Facebook page for that info -- http://www.facebook.com/pages/MobileTechVideos/182579981788132

We have S-OFF!
Time to kickstart this discussion back up now that S-OFF is in our hands. Thanks to Revolutionary.

:good: to this! If anyone needs a guinea pig to test with, I have a newly s-off'ed Dev Edition in a non refarmed rural area. Just have no idea when it comes to software hacks as I'm mainly a hardware hacker/hobbyist. I miss the 3G I had with my One S, but I'm loving the 64 gigs on the One!

HTC One PagePlus and Unlock questions.

I just destroyed my HTC EVO LTE.. I was thinking of replacing it with an HTC One, but I have a couple of questions. Most threads I have read on these subjects are on a less basic level, and I need to get a grasp on the basics.
I have been seeing a lot of discussion about SIM unlocking and I am a little confused if I even need to do that. If I get a Sprint HTC One and reflash it to PP, I only need the boot loader unlocked right? If I unlock the SIM thats just for international calls on GSM networks, correct? My EVO LTE was pretty easy and I hear that the One is similar. As far as unlocking the boot loader, does HTC still send you the code through their developer portal? Is it difficult to root and get custom ROMs onto? It would be nice to get the SIM unlocked in case I travel out of country but its not high on my list. Since I am not a Sprint customer I doubt they would give me the code if I begged them.
Thank you for any help you can provide me.

if u wanna flash it to pageplus, u can do that without unlock bootloader or anything. just change PRL and DATA configuration "data profile, HA,AAA"..... also its very easy to s-off and unlock the bootloader, to install custom roms....... i had HTC ONE, i flashed it to verizon and unlocked it to T-mobile too at the same time.....
see this is my post after i unlocked it to t-mobile

[Q] Noob question - Locked phone

Hello everyone.
I am a Nexus 4 user, so I believe that things would be pretty much the same for those devices, but I am concerned.
I do live in Brazil but I am in US on vacations. I intend to buy a Moto X on Ebay, but the version that I saw was Locked by SPRINT, so that means it won't work in Brazilian SIM cards.
Question 1: However, if I root, unlock bootloader, change roms for one compatible in Brazil or for an Intl. unlocked version Rom, will it work normally in Brazil?
Question 2: If yes, is it so easy to root as Nexus 4 is? I use a Root tool kit made by WUGFRESH that is FKNG awesome..
Thanks everyone!:

You're actually better buying a T-Mobile version, 1 its already sim unlocked
2 its the gsm variant not CDMA like sprint
3 unlockable bootloader
Sent on my Moto X

I used to work for Sprint. Sprint phones (this doesn't apply to the Nexus 5) when unlocked are programmed to reject US SIM cards. They WILL accept your Brazilian SIM card in Brazil, or to ROAM on a US network using your Brazilian/non-American SIM, but if you were to insert for example an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM it would reject them. But as the guy above said, you're the best off buying either the Unlocked version or Developer version (whichever is cheaper for you).
You could also buy the AT&T if it's unlocked or just buy any Verizon version (they come factory unlocked, but no LTE off of Verizon).

[Q] Use Sprint Prepaid Desire 510 on Ting

AFAIK, the HTC Desire 510 (Sprint Prepaid version) is locked from use on other carriers until at least fall 2015. My question is - With unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery, etc., is there anything that can be done to get this phone activated on a Ting account (they use the Sprint network)? Or is it just impossible because the ESN/MEID is blacklisted for the first year? I don't know how any of that works, so thanks for the advice.
Edit: Should have put a question mark in that title. Apologies for any confusion.

I have not found a way to get that done, and I've been trying for about 3 weeks. Sprint refuses to unlock the ESN because the phone was not active on Sprint prepaid for at least a year.

Getting a GSM carrier phone sim unlocked to use verizon?

Ive seen that using a Verizon phone makes flashing/rooting difficult. But i have the reverse problem and I cant see to find any answers.
I have an international HTC One M7, CID tmob101, it is from germany.
I live in the US, my normal carrier is verizon, and i would like to take my current sim card (verizon) and use it in my HTC.
I have already unlocked it if that helps, some input on to if its even possible would be nice.
Cheers
